Izzy Malloy: *is, like, on the skirts
of the group. Er somethin' yanno*
Mercury: ((Be nice to do it tonight.))
Singha: ((Well you
were on NA when we were punishing Lex and it just sort of segued to this. I
didn't know you were back. *G*))
Discard: (( tonight is feasible for me, but
I will probably start fading in about 3 hours. ))
Discard: (( aw, I'll have caffeine. I can do
it tonight. ))
Andrew Fisher: *eyes flick to Izzy* Can you
shoot? *looks around the group* So no cars? Anyone?
Eddie: ((FYI, if we're going to do this,
can we? *S* i have less than an hour left for tonight's online time. i can
perhaps stay until 11:30 EST, but i'll pay for it with nonfunctionality at work
in the monring.))
Discard: (( Mmmh. Less'n an hour probably is
not sufficient... *looks to Singha* ))
Mercury: "Can anyone hotwire?" He's
perfectly serious.
Izzy Malloy: [Yeah, was a little late off
from work today. Some people didn't have their shit together... *Grumbles*]
*Arches her eyebrows at Andrew* Ain't no Chicago cop, but I don't blow my own
face off. Yeah I ken shoot.
Izzy Malloy: Not my strong suit, sorry
purdy. *To Merc*
Singha: ((Well, I
have things to do tonight hunny wise so I can give another 2 hours and that's
about it. We'll get as far as we can go.))
Andrew Fisher: Then you are the third
shooter.
Izzy Malloy: ...But I ken try dat, too.
*She smirks*
Discard: (( Okay. I'm up for it. ))
Eddie: *shakes her head* i can pick a
lock. i can do a very little with electronics. but i dunno a thing about cars,
including hotwiring.
Izzy Malloy: Hope ya got a gun fer me,
then. Ya want his knees blown out or his brains?
Mercury: ((ok))
Andrew Fisher: Tranq guns Izzy. No deaths.
Remember?
Joshua Coil: *He frowns, and looks over
to Izzy. With his holsters on. With at least four guns visible.*
Izzy Malloy: *A toothy grin* Oh right
right.
Singha: ((Which
location are you going to try to take Trong down in? Pennsylvania? The North
Country? Or Boston?))
Izzy Malloy: *Wouldn't DARE ask Josh for
one of his children*
Discard: Discard starts working her hands,
releasing the tension she'd been holding from the punishment ritual. She closes
her eyes and breathes deeply, in and out.
Laidan [NPC'd]: ((Logging from this point onward, folks.))
Andrew Fisher: *walks over to Eddie's
duffel bag* Okay, let's get the cars and get moving. Time to go people, we have
to get Trong back ASAP.
Eddie: *quietly rolls her neck and
shoulders. doing a few stretches and settling into her mindset for work. focus
is key*
Andrew Fisher: ((Pennsylvania.))
Mercury: "Alright, let's just rent a car
and go."
Mercury: ((DLP if we have cars))
Andrew Fisher: *nods at Merc* A van. Good
call.
Eddie: *nods and follows orders, staying
near Laidan*
Izzy Malloy: *A snicker at Merc* Had yer
eye on acoupe ur sumfin?
Mercury: "Or we could take the pick-up
that was impounded." Smirks. "Either way, I'm game."
Mercury: Izzy: "Nah, one of those Mini
Coopers."
Discard: Discard follows the group mutely,
her stance far less dimunitive than it had been in the shanty town.
Andrew Fisher: *pulls out a cell and dials a
number* Hello sir.
Izzy Malloy: We goin' as us, or we dressin'
up?
Laidan [NPC'd]: She remains quiet, close to Andrew,
waiting to go.
Andrew Fisher: *makes a little face* This is Andrew, we need some help if you can provide it. We need to arrange transportation to visit a dragon. Preferably a van. If you can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Andrew Fisher: *blinks at the phone and
types in*
Andrew Fisher: *cocks head and listens to
something* Are we ready to move?
Discard: "Yes."
Eddie: *nods slowly, standing near Laidan*
Laidan [NPC'd]: "Yes." Nodding slightly.
Mercury: "You betcha."
Joshua Coil: Of course, *he says
sincerely.*
Izzy Malloy: Yu huh! *Hops up from her
perch, pulling a wool cap out of her pocket and tucking her head into it*
Andrew Fisher: *shakes his head and speaks* Okay, we are going to squat and pounce. Just like with a predator. We are headed to *looks at the address* The heliport. Let's go.
Mercury: He moves on out.
Singha: ((and we
shall move from here to the GNYC Open room, as we are going to be hopping around
from location to location))
Izzy Malloy: Pounce an' squat, gottit.
*She nods*
Discard: (( Ten-four. ))
Singha: (((I will
join you there momentarily as I need to get a bathroom break and swap comps
after gathering my books))
Andrew Fisher: *he walks along, talking to
himself* No, she is not of the Wyrm, yes, we are going to squat and pounce, no,
it is not disrespect. *who the fuck is he answering?*
Eddie: *nods shortly and waits to move
with her partner, the duffel of tranks and picks slung across her chest and tied
at teh waist so it won't bounce around*
Eddie: ((heading.))
Laidan [NPC'd]: She follows along, next to Eddie.
GNYC OPEN
Laidan [NPC'd]: ((Here.))
Andrew Fisher: *walks along, talking quietly
to himself*
Eddie: *drifts along beside Laidan,
keeping an eye out for the woman. but...unwilling to announce everything to her
unless she seems to want it*
Andrew Fisher: *softly* The hunts of the
humans are not as easy as the hunts of the animals. By adding weapons, we have
made the hunts much harder, and much larger. We are trying to make it as simple
as possible, while still staying safe.
Laidan [NPC'd]: She walks behind Andrew, next to Eddie,
silently preparing herself.
Andrew Fisher: *glances at Eddie then to
where he is going* She is still a cub, but she is ready for her Rite of Passage.
Soon, she will be accepted fully. *shakes head* As for being "the shit", it
means that something is great. Perfect. Wonderful. Being the shit is all in the
eye of the beholder.
Eddie: *clasps her hands behind her back,
arms straight out, and raises them up slowly, still stretching out*
Andrew Fisher: *gives a little sigh* Yes,
they are nice. But I don't think about that.
Mercury: He watches Andrew with unveiled
curiosity.
Laidan [NPC'd]: ((OTHER open, guys.))
Laidan [NPC'd]: http://www.wodnyc.net/chat/opchat.cgi
Andrew Fisher: *glances at Merc* Ask me later. *a little shrug* I promise. I'm sane.
OTHER OPEN
Joshua Coil: ((*twiddles thumbs* *Waiiiting
to be kiiilled...*))
Singha: ((Ah well, I
said GNYC Open but I guess this'll do. LOL))
Joshua Coil: ((I was wondering! But
everyone was here...))
Crow: ((*L* Oh damn.))
Discard: (( ... *looks up at the top of the
screen* ... b-but it says... ))
Singha: In order to
get us quickly to the scene of the action, I'm going to summarize a bit.
: ((Gaah. Some of us are actually IN Open. Hold on, lemme
get 'em.))
Crow: ((chat- the... yeah..
not open.. *ahem.* yes. well. here we are.*L*))
Mercury: "I hope so." Kind of smirks to
Andrew, but continues on.
Andrew Fisher: ((D'oh.))
Singha: You all
convene at the heliport, where Xu, the tall asian whom Eddie and Andrew met at
the meeting with Guido, has arranged a rather large exectutive helicopter. You
are quickly breifed to avoid shifting while inside the chopper, as aircraft are
very sensitive to weight distribution and the sudden addition of several hundred
pounds could severely limit the pilot's ability to maintain control of the
craft.
Izzy Malloy: [This place needs a better
link interface... *Mutters*]
Eddie: *nods* he is sane. *murmurs quietly. pretty face
very calm, eyes as alert as they can manage to be*
Discard: Discard can't hide her wonder at
actually getting to ride in a whirly-bird.
Singha: [this place
needs alot of stuff done with the code. and I need to stop running SL's long
enough to fix it. *G*]
Eddie: *looks vaguely green at the
thought. if she'd been meant to fly she'd have wings. but goes with it. this is
work.*
Andrew Fisher: *hell, even Andy seems amazed
by this, his eyes showing a massive curiousity*
Andrew Fisher: Everyone in. *once inside
he hands a Tranq gun to Izzy and keeps one himself*
Discard: (( I can picture it. Ok kiddies,
this SL is called "Singha gets some shit cleaned up around here". The plot is
that you guys all hang out in other rooms and pick your noses while I actually
get some shit cleaned up around here. ))
Izzy Malloy: *Can't help but give the guy
a "Duh!" look... Before considering her companions with a snicker* Hear dat,
Josh? Even iffn ya can't reach that scratch wid the arms you GOT...
Eddie: *gets in, staying beside Lai if
possible*
Discard: She scampers into the 'bird, a hand
on her tam hat to avoid it blowin' away.
Laidan [NPC'd]: She listens quietly to the instructions,
paying close attention.
Mercury: Sighs. He won't be able to
drive. He gets in without hesitation.
Andrew Fisher: *a soft laugh* Sensitive.
Mechanical devices are not quite as reliable as natures own inventions huh?
Joshua Coil: *He moves calmly after
everyone else, pulling the door closed. The external Josh is calm and collected.
The internal Josh is VERY squee at being able ot ride in a helicoptor.*
Andrew Fisher: *cocks his head* Whole?
Falling off? What do you mean? *looks around*
Laidan [NPC'd]: And in she goes, to the flying beast.
Izzy Malloy: [Pistol or rifle type?]
Singha: Xu provides
them all with maps of the executive airport outside scranton where the charter
flight will be flying out of, photo recon of the area. Photos of your target and
of those who are most likley to be bodyguarding him.
Joshua Coil: *He looks back to Izzy at her
comment, and it is clear, it goes RIGHT over his head.*
Eddie: *finds a point inside the chopper
to stare at. thsi will be her focus until she gets out of the thing if at all
possible. concentrating on the work in hopes she won't yak--she's never flown in
anything but her dreams before, and didn' t much like those.*
Andrew Fisher: ((Semit-auto pistol type. *G*
Nuthin but the best on THIS site.))
Izzy Malloy: *She takes the gun,
double-checking it as she settles into the chopper. Doesn't take up a lot of
space, so, no worries*
Discard: Discard immediately starts studying
the photos, aware that she's not too good at mission intel.
Andrew Fisher: *shakes head* It uses Wind for
it's own purposes. And Money....money is not a spirit. It is a creation by man.
It's another way for man to prove their superiority over other men.
Eddie: *pics and maps are as good to look
at as anything. especially the maps*
Mercury: He waits, impatient to get moving.
Mercury: He looks in with Discard at the
maps, since they'll be the ones covering backs.
Andrew Fisher: *looks at the photos as they are passed around* The chopper makes things easier. We may not have to take them all down now. Just enough to clear a path and get back out.
Laidan [NPC'd]: She holds the maps, not looking at
them. Moving her head in Eddie's direction for an explanation.
Andrew Fisher: *glances at Eddie* We'll be
fine. *cocks head* Who needs to flex their brain?
Izzy Malloy: *Slipping through te pictures
of hte marks* Alright so, Drew, me you an' Josh here are gonna be darting dese
guys. How many darts each gun got?
Singha: ((sorry
browser failed)) ((The tranq guns that the Sept provides are rifle types. Those
that have been acquired from Dream are pistols, but will degrade after 5 uses
and have a higher likelihood of malfunctioning.))
Joshua Coil: *He keeps his eyes on the
area below them. Outside the helicoptor. Let everyone else plan.*
Eddie: *flashes Andy a tight smile, then
quietly* these are maps that show where everything is down there. and pictures
of the people we're after and might come up against. *glances to Andy* flex
brains? *raises a brow*
Izzy Malloy: [First sentence should be a
queestion]
Andrew Fisher: 10. Eddie's got the dote.
First shot from all three of us goes against Trong. Then the others.
Singha: Xu gives
Andrew a ~look~ when he says Money isn't a spirit. But keeps his mouth shut. He
hands Laidan an object with Trong's scent on it.
Andrew Fisher: *glances at Xu* Is it?
Singha: ((Each
pistol holds 5 darts. After that, throw it away. *G*))
Andrew Fisher: We are going to help Bear.
This machine will use Wind to help us get there.
Andrew Fisher: ((Like I said.....5 darts.
>.> Yeah.... <.<))
Izzy Malloy: Alright. *She nods. Not gonna
mention that money IS a spirit - as is credit*
Laidan [NPC'd]: She takes the object pressed into her
hands, taking a moment to familiarize herself with the scent.
Joshua Coil: *And he was so busy admiring
the helicoptor that he completely missed Andrew saying Money was not a spirit.
So he doesn't flick him a look as well. Instead, he admires the ground. Neeeeat.*
Discard: "... and we just gotta make sure
nobody makes it to you guys. Who's our first priority of protection?"
Eddie: *doggedly keeps looking over the
maps and pics. pretending the ground is just underfott like it always has been
before, just as hard as she can* ((heh. hope they got those earmuff things for
the flight, by the way. or Eddie's going to be in a sad state.))
Mercury: He nods at Andrew, though not
speaking up to answer the question posed to Xu.
Izzy Malloy: Discard: ooh! ooh! ken it
be me!? *Bats her eyelashes*
Singha: Xu shrugs to
Andrew and says "You'd better not tell those who follow Al' Mighty Dolla or Easy
Credit money isn't a spirit. You're you'll find yourself without it." At that,
once everybody's inside, the chopper lifts off with Xu along in the copilot's
seat.
Laidan [NPC'd]:
7,2,9,2,8,2,1,
Discard: (( Switching colors. ))
Andrew Fisher: Everyone. Stick with who you
are paired with. Izzy, *slight frown* You are with me. Merc will watch us. Dis,
you keep an eye on Josh.
Laidan [NPC'd] -> Singha: ((That
was to familiarize with the scent.))
Joshua Coil: *Everyone else, he is
sure, will tell him where to go. So he politely asks how it works. Watching the
helicoptor lift off. Back out the window.*
Joshua Coil: *He looks back to Discard,
and Andrew.* Hnnh?
Eddie: gotcha, boss. *mumbles to the maps,
nodding*
Mercury: Eyes flick to Andrew and Izzy. As
if memorizing their faces for the last goodbye? Nah. Just fixing in on who he's
going to protect.
Andrew Fisher: *a nod to Xu* Point taken.
Andrew Fisher: *head snaps around, eyes
narrowed* We are yes. Some anyways.
Singha -> Laidan [NPC'd]:
((then she knows Xu is Fausto, too. *G*))
Andrew Fisher: *nods to Izzy* Yes it is.
Eddie: and Laidan and i just keep back and
out of the way, ready to medic and 'dote, correct? *risks a glance to Andy's
face for confirmation*
Singha: ((any
questions regarding the photos or maps?))
Andrew Fisher: *a nod at Eddie* And fight if
needed, but make sure you don't lose track of the primary goal.
Izzy Malloy: Pffft. Yer ego's gonna
unbalance the chopper. *Tucks the gun into her waistband*
Andrew Fisher: ((The plane unloading is on
the Tarmac yes? And is there space near the plane to land to minimize the
distances involved? And far enough from the buildings to keep security from
jumping in?))
Eddie: ((i'm assuming they're
high-quality, detailed things? simple to tell what's what?)) *nods to Andy*
which is to get Trong down and out asap, cleanly. *not a question.*
Singha: Xu chuckles
at Izzy's crack, but remains silent.
Andrew Fisher: *shrugs* At least we all go
down with someone as wonderful as me then.
Mercury: The Ahroun's knee jiggles a bit.
Not nervous, but antsy to start.
Laidan [NPC'd]: Her head moves in Xu's direction, brow
furrowing slightly. After a moment, though, she moves her attention away.
Andrew Fisher: Exactly. Once he is in the
chopper, we bolt.
Singha: ((The flight
is leaving ~from~ the airport ~to~ the outfitter in the North Country. So this
is ~before~ they have any bears or bear carcasses for this hunt, if they are
hitting them in Pennsylvania. It is expected that the Targets are arriving in
limos or private rental cars, meeting outside the charter company, and then
walking across the tarmac to the waiting plane.))
Eddie: *lips quirk in a faint grin.
inhales and exhales slowly, getting herself as calm as she can before the shit
starts flying*
Joshua Coil: *He looks over to Andrew, and
then back to the front of the 'coptor, simply watching.*
Mercury: Cracks his knuckles idly, trying to
see out the window.
Izzy Malloy: So... What IS dis Trong guy,
anyways? *A look to Xu*
Andrew Fisher: Don't let them get on the
plane. We'll lose him if they do.
Singha: ((Xu will
explain the details of that to everybody during the flight, and will answer any
questions. So, I'd advise you all to stop bantering and start focusing on what
may or may not be the difference as to whether or not you live or die tonight,
since I need to leave in at the latest 90 minutes))
Joshua Coil: The target, *he says simply
to Izzy.*
Eddie: *nods to Andy and reaches
out--gingerly--to pat Merc's knee*
Joshua Coil: ((Dis-p is having trouble
connecting.. so don't know if he'll be back on.))
Singha: He looks to
Izzy and says "A rank four theurge of the Zhong Lung."
Mercury: "About how many can we expect for
Trong's backup?" he asks Xu. "Are they supernatural?"
Andrew Fisher: we land, Josh and I and Iz
go out the door, start Tranqing, Merc and Dis follow, then Eddie and Lai. Get
the Trong on the bird, revive the traqed guards and get out. Keep your ears
open, if anything changes, I will let you all know.
Izzy Malloy: *A blank blink. Pulls out the
gun, triple-checking*
Eddie: *nods shortly, squaring her
shoulders again*
Singha: "There may
or may not be a corrupt Gurahl of unknown rank, as well."
Laidan [NPC'd]: A nod to Andrew's words, as she listens.
Joshua Coil: No delays, *he murmurs,
calmly holding his gun. He looks over to Andrew. Now focusing. No use doing so
before.*
Discard: (( Currently connecting to this
site using lynx through an SSH client. :P Sorry about any slowness, but this is
a bit awkward.
Mercury: The word Gurahl is familiar to
him, in some obscure way, but he just takes it that it's some sort of shifter
with rank. He nods.
Singha: "His
bodyguards will more than likely be at the very least kinfolk who are all armed
with tranq guns and silver. At the worst, they will be low ranking shifters.
His...pack...has already been neutralized."
Discard: Discard is mostly quiet, looking
alternately at the ground below, the material she's been given, and her
compatriots. She may be nervous, but she seems to be bearing it fairly well.
Izzy Malloy: Pass me dose pictures 'gain,
willya? *Begins riffling through them, memorizing who is who is what perfectly,
not speaking the whole time*
Joshua Coil: *Gurahl. Hm. Maybe it's some
sort of other thing. And Zhong Lung. Maybe it's a fancy japanese word for
'target'.*
Andrew Fisher: *starts thinking* Izzy, with
your first shot, start with the guards in between us and the target. Josh and I
hit the target, then help clear a path.
Mercury: Xu: "Gotcha." He looks over the
maps again, to see what's where.
Singha: ((any
questions about the locations of the buildings, the relationships between them
and the planes, etc?))
Laidan [NPC'd]: No one else has asked, so she will. "What
is a Zhong Lung?"
Andrew Fisher: ((Just the distance question.
Far enough away to buy enough time to get out before the Security comes runnin))
Singha: ((any
questions about the locations of the buildings, the relationships between them
and the planes, etc?))
Laidan [NPC'd]: No one else has asked, so she will. "What
is a Zhong Lung?"
Andrew Fisher: ((Just the distance question.
Far enough away to buy enough time to get out before the Security comes runnin))
Mercury: ((Not if they're clear enough on
the map.))
Singha: "A
were-dragon."
Izzy Malloy: [Please inform, I'm
informless. *G*]
Mercury: He stiffens and looks at Xu. But
that one look convinces him that Xu isn't joking.
Joshua Coil: *And that... a brief widening
of eyes, before they close again. He clears his throat.* Sir... are you sure we
are not authorized to use lethal force?
Laidan [NPC'd]: "....oh."
Izzy Malloy: *Doesn't glance up from
her pictures*
Eddie: *just grits her teeth and tries to
keep calm*
Andrew Fisher: Yes. No fatalities. Grab the
Tranq guns off the guards we put down if you run out.
Andrew Fisher: ((Any other questions?))
Discard: Discard's mouth hardens into a
thin line at the mention of a were-dragon... after certain things, she's willing
to believe even that. She is silent, though, and waits for the end of the trip.
Izzy Malloy: *Finally sets them aside,
looking up* So where's Allen Funt?
Singha: ((sorry
about that,this comp is acting up))
Joshua Coil: Yes sir, *he says quietly,
and looks over to Izzy.* If it comes down to it, get Emma. *He taps the deagle
on his left.* She's rather a slut anyway. She'll go with you pretty easily.
Mercury: ((none from Merc))
Joshua Coil: ((Nope. No questions. Just
waiting for orders.))
Singha: The chopper starts to circle the airport for it's landing, and you all are able to see the lights of the field the parking lot outside the charter company, the crew prepping the plane, loading baggage into it.
Izzy Malloy: *Gives Josh a weird look*
Mmmmmkay.
Andrew Fisher: *cocks head and adresses the
air* Where are they at?
Mercury: He looks out the window intently,
looking.
Mercury: He's looking for Trong.
Izzy Malloy: *A fourth, slightly nervous
check on the gun, muttering something decidedly NOT the Lord's Prayer in
Spanish*
Andrew Fisher: *smiles* Please. Find them for
us so we may aid Bear.
Joshua Coil: *He pulls out the dart gun,
preparing.*
Andrew Fisher: *pulls the dart gun, checks
the chamber, and waits near the door*
Crow: *Something passes like
a breath across Laidan's face, zipping out of the helicopter.*
Eddie: *just can't look outside. not until
they're on the ground*
Singha: ((roll
per+alert guys who are looking down below))
Mercury:
1,6,4,6,5,
Joshua Coil:
4,7,6,4,8,
Andrew Fisher:
6,5,2,5,9,
Eddie: *gets ready to head out after the
shooters and the fighters, with Laidan*
Singha: Josh is
able to spot two of the bodyguards standing outside the double glass doors
leading from the VIP lounge to the tarmac. Andrew sees the mens tanding there
but not their faces.
Izzy Malloy: *A quick look as well*
Discard: 7,2,7,8,3,
Izzy Malloy: *Although, too slow*
[*Pummels RL with a dead halibut*]
Singha: Discard sees
what Josh sees.
Laidan [NPC'd]: She frowns at the sensation, her head
tilting in the direction of the breath.
Izzy Malloy:
2,10,6,5,2,6,
Singha: As does IZzy
Joshua Coil: *He keeps his eyes on them.
They must be guarding something. He loads up the darts, and cocks it, waiting.
Ready to take down.*
Singha: The
chopper circles around, Xu looking back to Andrew as if to ask him where he
wants to set down.
Izzy Malloy: *Licks the sight lightly with
a small grin*
Andrew Fisher: *gives a jerk and looks
down at the tarmac* One were-bear in the group with the Dragon. *gives the
approximate locations*
Andrew Fisher: *points at a spot halfway
between the plane and the lounge, out of the line of walking* We can strike from
the flank that way.
Joshua Coil: So we dart them all before he
gets a chance to shift, *he grunts.*
Izzy Malloy: Might wanna set down a little
away, so when they come out...?
Laidan [NPC'd]: She listens to Andrew, nodding. "All
right."
Singha: "The
were-bear will be a physically huge human. Very fat. Like a sumo wrestler. Also
a gai-jin."
Mercury: Deep breath. A bear. A dragon. Oh,
fuck. The Cliath does deep, slow breathing and gets himself in ready mode.
Mercury: He glances at Xu with a quiet sigh,
understanding very little of his explanations. There is much Merc has yet to
learn.
Izzy Malloy: Great, just jiggly. *A sharp
scowl at Xu, for whatever reason*
Singha: Xu points
out the spot to the pilot, who protests the area is not cleared for chopper
landing. Xu tells him he'll double the fee. The pilot shrugs and lands.
Eddie: *as soon as they land, she looks
up--but she's ready to go, go go.*
Discard: Discard tenses, ready to spring
into action and defend her effective packmates.
Andrew Fisher: We give them a couple of
minutes to come out. Otherwise, we go in after them.
Singha: "I would
advise killing the bear, if you can."
Andrew Fisher: *looks at Xu* Why?
Izzy Malloy: *A deep, steadying breath*
Dey ain' gonna be changing out in public, will dey? ...Nah, dey wouldn't...
Singha: The two
bodyguards outside are somewhat confused by the chopper landing nearby. They are
wary.
Laidan [NPC'd]: She tenses, readying herself. She takes a
moment to focus her thoughts on her job. Heal. Fight if necessary. Stay with
Eddie. No one dies.
Singha: "Because
it's the one who's helping them find and slaughter all it's brethern," Xu says,
shrugging.
Joshua Coil: Understood. *He nods to Xu,
and then looks back out. Killing... now THAT he understands.*
Andrew Fisher: Can he be cleansed?
Mercury: Izzy: Grimly, "They might."
Eddie: *allows herself one, very soft
litte growl of disgust. i fhe actively chose to help them, he's right down there
with child molesters in her book*
Singha: Xu says
something in chinese to the pilot, who nods and gets out of the chopper, running
over to the office of a nearby hanger. The bodyguards relax. The double doors
open, and the enntourage of happy Asian business men file out toward the waiting
plane.
Izzy Malloy: Mercury: Hope we's gots a
plan B, den. *Wrinkles her nose, slipping on one of her ragged knuckle-gloves*
Mercury: "Yeah, fuck it and go for broke. I
just hope we won't have to clean up afterwards.
Joshua Coil: Sure we do, *he murmurs to
Izzy.* Plan B is that we all die horribly, in great pain, and at great length.
*He looks over ot her.* It's not a very good plan.
Andrew Fisher: *scans the faces of the
leaving men* Okay pack. Time to go. Gaia be with us. *opens the door and steps
out, keeping the gun hidden*
Izzy Malloy: *A last-minute tug of her
cap, and voila, she looks like a scrawny 17 year old boy*
Singha: Xu shrugs to
Andy. "I don't know if it can be cleansed."
Eddie: *shudders slightly. the word
"remember" floats through her mind and her eyes narrow, chin firming. she will
not forget*
Joshua Coil: *He keeps his gun close,
and moves with Andrew as told.*
Singha: ((init guys,
one init per team (meaning pair of you guys), declare who's rolling for your
team))
Andrew Fisher: *once within firing range, he
pulls the pistol and fires at Trong*
Eddie: *adjusts her duffel a bit and tugs
her shirt lower. these ARE men, after all. a nice body is just another kind of
weapon*
Laidan [NPC'd]: She nods, ready to move.
Andrew Fisher: ((I will for Izzy, Merc, and
Andy.))
Andrew Fisher:
3,
Andrew Fisher: ((9 shit. *L*))
Discard: (( Josh, you do it for us. ))
Singha: 8,
Izzy Malloy: [*Shakes fist to the heavans
and runs to grab pizza real quick*]
Eddie:
9,
Joshua Coil:
4,
Joshua Coil: ((12))
Eddie: (14)
Singha: ((13))
Singha: ((okay, we are going according to the streamlined combat rules as posted in the shifter forum. Do NOT roll to shift, I'm assuming you're able to do that without the roll, tho unless you spend rage, it costs an action))
Singha: ((Declare and roll in the Following Order: Lai&Eddie, Bad Guys, Josh&Dis, Andy&Iz&Merc. There are 6 Body guards, 8 Asian businessmen, 1 HUGE white guy, and Trong. The 6 guards are in a flanking V around Trong and the Huge White Guy))
Singha:
(remember, do NOT wait for me to tell you to roll. Just declare and roll and
I'll do the recap and let you know what happens.))
Eddie: *Eddie will keep to the plan. trust
your partners to know and do their own jobs. just worry about your own. hand in
her duffel, which is only slightly open, and holding 'dote inside there.*
Laidan [NPC'd]: She stays with Eddie, sticking to the
plan. (Holding))
Singha: ((the
Chopper is about 70 yards from the line from the building to the plane. The
plane is about 50 yards from the doors to the building
Discard: Discard guards Josh, holding her
action until someone comes nearby whom she can attack or she has the chance to
prevent damage to him.
Singha: The Bad Guys
walk 20 yards from the doors, Trong and HWG screened by 3 bodyguards on either
side, but HWG is taller than all the Asians.
Discard: (( AGH! SOrry ))
Discard: (( DLP ))
Singha:
4,6,2,8,8,
Singha: The
bodyguards however, notice the group getting out of the chopper.
Singha:
9,6,2,5,9,
Singha:
5,2,8,2,10,7,
Singha: As do the
businessmen and the two Targets.
Singha: ((declare
Dis and Josh))
Joshua Coil: ((Firing, but spending two
rage for additional actions.))
Joshua Coil:
10,2,6,4,2,4,6,
Discard: Holding action, defending Josh if
necessary. No Rage this round.
Singha: ((Firing on
which Target, Josh?))
Joshua Coil: ((One of the bodyguards,
closest one.))
Andrew Fisher: *draws the gun and fires on
one of the bodyguards in the way*
Andrew Fisher:
10,3,1,2,
Mercury: ((How much rage will it take to run
and punch a bodyguard? He can't do any long-range fighting.))
Singha: ((roll
damage if using a tranq, dam is 5+extra sux (lethal) but must puncture past the
soak of the target. If you get more sux than the soak of the Shifters, roll 9
dice for the drug (humans won't soak so if you get any dam sux, roll 9 dice for
drug))
Izzy Malloy: *Does likewise as Andrew,
aiming for the the nearest "rear" guard in the V*

Mercury: ((I'm sorry, I didn't move. He has to get close to a guard to do any good, but I don't know how much rage it will take to get him there in a round. Otherwise, I guess he'll just be running for a guard.))
Singha: Eddie and
Laidan prep and move into position to help. Discard backs Josh, who shoots and
takes down Bodyguard R1. Andy shoots at Bodyguard R2, but misses. Izzy shoots
and takes down BG R2. So...total BG up=4. Targets up=Both. Businessmen who are
totally unprepared for shooting or darts=8
Singha: And Merc is
running top speed toward the bad guys.
Mercury: ((excellent *S* he's hoping they'll
go after him and give the others a clear shot at the targets))
Singha: ((The
distance is 70 yards. Tell me how much rage you are spending for extra actions
and roll dex+ath for the run))
Izzy Malloy: Shooting OR darts? they must
be motionless in boggled fascination at out shooting darts!]
Discard: (( Oh you rascal. -.- ))
Mercury: ((1 rage and rolling))
Mercury:
4,5,8,
Singha: ((Eddie
and Lai please state if you are staying by the chopper, moving toward the
building, moving toward the plane, or simply standing out there in the middle of
the tarmac))
Singha: Merc reaches
the Baddies at the end of this round. New round
Eddie: (moving with the group, but staying
to the back. easier to get the targets back. several feet behind the
shooters/fighters.)
Joshua Coil: ((I need to roll for Rage
actions...))
Laidan [NPC'd]: ((Moving along behind the main attack
group of darters.))
Joshua Coil: ((Sorry, was just waiting
for Merc to finish up.))
Singha: ((Ah ok
Josh. sorry about that.))
Singha: ((If you
guys are doing Rage actions, just post them please, don't wait for me to tell
you after we reach the end if the order.))
Discard: (( aye aye ))

Joshua Coil:
4,2,1,10,3,7,7,1,
Joshua Coil: ((Do ones count against on
damage rolls?))
Singha: Josh's first
shot on the Big Fatso hits solidly and squirts the drug into him. the second
shot, however, just gets caught in his clothing.
Singha: New Round:
Declare please.
Andrew Fisher: *Eddie hangs back with Lai,
keeping her distance from the group she is following, ready to do what she is
supposed to*
Andrew Fisher: *Eddie hangs back with Lai,
keeping her distance from the group she is following, ready to do what she is

Singha: Trong does
his best to cross the Gauntlet. Big Fasto roars and reaches to pull the dart out
of himself, spending WP to ignore wound penalties.
Singha:
1,4,10,5,2,9,8,
Laidan [NPC'd]: She follows along behind the group, ready
to heal when she hears her fellows go down.
Joshua Coil: ((Attack, spending one
rage this round.))
Izzy Malloy: *Having a clear shot, she'll
take aim at Trong, unleashing a dart of juicy tranquilizer goodness* [WP on
this]
Izzy Malloy:
8,3,1,2,3,

Discard: (( damage: ))
Discard:
8,7,3,4,9,4,
Discard: Discard is aiming a standard punch
to the gut of the nearest guard.
Singha: Okay recap:
Singha: Eddie and
Lai move up with the back of the group, antidote in hand and prepped. Big Fatso
roars and pulls the dart from him. Trong steps Umbral, and it's not clear if
Andy or Izzy's shot has hit him or not, as he disappears. Andy, Merc, Josh, and
Izzy are all hit by darts and injected with the drug. Merc and Discard beat the
crap out of R2. Josh sends down L2, so there are now 2 Bodyguards still up, 1
Big Fasto still there, and 8 Asian businessmen running in panic across the
tarmac away from you all.
Singha: ((And if was
unclear on any of who was shooting at who, I apologize))
Singha: ((And if
was unclear on any of who was shooting at who, I apologize))
Izzy Malloy: [Still have to spend WP to
keep full pools? And how much is the penalty?]
Singha: [[Yes to act
again this round, you have to spend WP or fall unconscious]]
Andrew Fisher: *Eddie jumps forward and doses
the nearest person, Joshua, with Antidote*
Izzy Malloy: [Consider it spent]
Singha: [[actually
technically it's not unconscious, it's paralyzed. You will still be conscious,
just unable to move until you are dosed with antidote]]
Joshua Coil: *Done with the dart gun. He's
done all that he can. And he does not spend WP if Eddie doses him with the
antidote. He grabs his deagle to fire on the bear again.*
Laidan [NPC'd]: ((1 Rage spent)) Antidote administering to
Andrew from this one. Izzy after.
Laidan [NPC'd]: ((Gaah, sorry, if I jumped the gun on the new round.))
Singha: Big Fatso
roars again, staring down Merc to keep him from advancing on him. ((my diff is
7, if I suceed you can roll WP to resist diff 8))
Singha:
4,5,6,9,8,6,
Mercury: ((I'm assuming my current WP pool))
Mercury:
7,5,
Laidan [NPC'd]: ((Always roll permanent, Merc.))
Discard: Seeing Truong vanish, Discard
endeavors to do the same, attempting to slip sideways. (( spending WP. ))
Joshua Coil:
3,2,5,8,7,3,3,
Singha: Trong is
Umbral, so you can't see what he's doing. Last 2 BG's are turning to run.
Discard:
4,2,6,
Mercury: (ok re-rolling)
Mercury:
8,2,6,
Singha: To those
who are perceptive enough, you can tell that the last 2 BG's are running from
Big Fatso.
Joshua Coil:
5,6,3,7,8,8,
Singha: Merc sees
the look on the guys face and gets the urge to run away, but masters it and is
still able to function.
Andrew Fisher: After Trong! *steps sideways
as well* ((Spending a WP))
Andrew Fisher:
1,6,4,
Mercury: ((spending WP to resist
lights-out)) He burns Rage at nearly being cowed by this big galut, and he
throws two furious punches at the BIG guy.
Mercury:
2,8,8,5,2,5,
Singha: (I'm waiting
for Discard's roll to cross the gauntlet))
Mercury: (rolling dmg 1st punch)
Izzy Malloy: *Focuses on hte big guy...
Pulling hte trigger, aiming for somewhere NOT his prodigious gut*
Mercury:
8,8,9,4,5,8,
Izzy Malloy:

there it is, NM))
Izzy Malloy:
5,5,6,9,5,6,3,
Mercury: (2nd punch)
Mercury:
7,3,9,8,7,3,
Izzy Malloy:

Mercury: (rolling dmg)
Mercury:
6,8,8,7,4,5,10,3,
Singha:
5,7,7,10,8,
Singha: ((is that
everybody? All rage actions?))
Andrew Fisher: ((Done))
Joshua Coil: ((Yeap.))
Discard: (( Yus. ))
Laidan [NPC'd]: ((All done.))
Singha: Okay
recap:
Singha: Eddie doses
Josh with the antidote. Lai hits Andy and Izzy. (You who are antidoted and are
no longer spending WP to avoid wound penatlies are now at -2 due to the drug in
the darts having dialated your pupils and you being extra sensitive to light and
unable to focus your eyes properly
Singha: Big Fatso tries to scare off Merc, but suceeds only at scaring off the 2 bodyguards. Josh shoots big Fatso with his deagle and hits him solidly. Merc smacks Big Fatso with a one two as Izzy shots a good shot into the guy. (more)
Singha:
Meanwhile, Andy tries to step Umbrally, but doesn't suceed (you failed Andy, so
can't crossover within the hour). Discard, however is moving across the
Gauntlet, but slowly.
Singha: 1,
Singha: (okay, did I
forget anyone? If not we can proceed to next round)
Discard: (( Let's keep on keep on keep on
keep on movin' it ))
Singha: ((and that
last was init for new person acting, which puts them last))
Laidan [NPC'd]: Andrew said "After Trong." So after Trong
she moves, stepping into the Umbra. He cant get away, they'll need a healer on
the other side, and Laidan has his scent. She moves to Step Sideways. ((WP))
Singha: Assuming
Eddie runs forward to dose Merc with the antidote?
Andrew Fisher: *Eddie darts forward to dose
Merc with the 'dote*
Andrew Fisher: ((Great minds. *L*))
Laidan [NPC'd]:
6,8,3,3,4,
Discard: Discard is, I presume, out of
the 'declaration' phase for now. She continues with her extended action of
moving through the mollasses of the Gauntlet.
Singha: Big Fatso
seems to stubornly be committed to smacking down Merc and slams him upside the
head (or tries to)
Mercury: ((phew, cuz he had no more WP to
give *L*))
Joshua Coil: ((Shooting the bear. Kill it,
kill it NOW...))
Singha:
7,5,8,3,8,7,7,
Singha:
4,7,3,1,8,3,1,4,10,6,7,4,
Singha: (3 bashing
Merc roll soak)
Mercury: ((DOes the -2 apply to soak rolls?
If it does, I'll re-roll))
Mercury:
3,5,2,
Joshua Coil:
9,2,8,9,8,9,2,
Joshua Coil:
5,5,9,8,9,6,4,7,2,
Mercury: ((GO JOSH!))
Singha -> Laidan [NPC'd]:
Lai steps across the gauntlet instantly.
Singha: ((no, -2
apply to actions, not reflexives))
Izzy Malloy: *Guards are down or running.
She can't see. Wooozy... Hears the fat guy - doesn't shoot, knowing she might
hit Merc instead* [holding action]
Singha:
6,6,9,3,4,
Andrew Fisher: *Andrew runs towards Merc,
to help with the fight if needed, heal otherwise*
Singha:
1,10,3,2,4,4,7,
Singha:
6,7,4,6,2,8,
Singha: ((that
everybody?))
Andrew Fisher: ((One turn to get to the
location since -2 dice penalty))
Mercury: ((I believe that with the bashing
and the drug I'm at Mauled, but I'm uncertain. Using -2 dice.)) He feels a rush
of Rage and burns it furiously ((burning 2, assuming I got some back)) and
punches the bear three times.
Mercury:
3,4,7,9,
Mercury:
5,10,4,2,
Mercury:
3,8,4,6,
Mercury: (rolling dmgs now)
Mercury:
8,1,8,2,5,7,
Mercury:
6,6,1,10,5,6,
Mercury: (ignore the 2nd dmg roll, wrong #)
Mercury:
9,8,2,10,2,
Mercury:
8,9,1,5,10,1,
Mercury: ((done))
Singha: Okay
recap...
Singha: Eddie doses
Izzy, who wisely keeps from shooting something she can't see which is fighting
her packmate, who she also can't see that well. Big Fatso tries to put a smack
on Merc but doesn't manage to phase him much, Merc throws a bunch of punches
into Fatso, Josh throws a slug or two. Andy runs up to close with Fatso.
Meanwhile Lai and Dis are across or crossing the Gauntlet. (more)
Singha: With all the
damage and drugs and whatnot moving through this evil bear bastard, the guy
seems to be stubornly able to weather a shitpot of it, but then bears are
renowned for their willpower. But he does look like he might be going down soon.
Especially when a gunshot sounds from the side of the building, and whatever
bullet hits the guy seems to be doing more than the lethal damage that Josh's
bullets have done.
Singha: There's a
moment where every body's prepping to act again, and then Big Fatso teeters back
and collapses
Izzy Malloy: [Euff... Nodding off here
guys, sorry about that]
Singha: Final count:
4 downed (3 tranqed, one beat unconscious) bodyguards. 1 dead or unconscious
Fatso. 1 Umbral Trong. 1 Umbral Laidan who is joined a few seconds later by
Discard. 2 running away bodyguards. 8 running away businessmen.
Mercury: (unfortunately I am, too *L*)
Singha: Laidand
and Discard discover a paralyzed Trong with two darts sticking out of his back
Mercury: (woo!)
Andrew Fisher: ((*falls to knees and worships
Singha*))
Discard: Discard blinks, still somehow
expecting some kind of climactic battle that sleepyhead Trong is unlikely to
provide. "Uh," she says sagely.
Laidan [NPC]: ((And the player NPC'ing Laidan breathes a
sigh of relief.))
Discard: (( Yay! No death! ))
Laidan [NPC]:
9,4,3,8,6,9,
Andrew Fisher: *grabs hold of Merc and
spends a Gnosis to heal his comrade*
Singha: and he
starts floating up in the umbra
Andrew Fisher:
6,7,5,9,4,8,
Discard: (( right, of course. ))
Joshua Coil: *He watches. Blinks
owlishly, and tucks away his gun.* Good girl, *he murmurs, and walks over to the
downed opponents.*
: (Thanks, Andrew *L*)
Discard: "Guh!" Discard says, hurriedly
grabbing hold of Trong and preventing him from... what? Floating away?
Andrew Fisher: Guys, go help Discard and
Laidan. Can't get across here.
Laidan [NPC]: "Knock him out!"
Andrew Fisher: *looks up at Xu* Thank you.
*inclines head*
Discard: Discard obeys immediately, dealing
a savage punch to the back of Trong's head.
Joshua Coil: *He nods, and looks around
for a reflective surface. but finding none, he will still make the attempt to
cross over into the Umbra.*
Discard:
2,5,9,3,8,8,5,
Joshua Coil:
4,3,
Laidan [NPC]: ((Can I try to attack, or was my action
wasted on feeling his vitals?))
Discard:
2,5,9,3,8,8,5,
Joshua Coil:
4,3,
Laidan [NPC]: ((Can I try to attack, or was my action
wasted on feeling his vitals?))
Joshua Coil: *He grunts in frustration.*
Sorry, sir, *he mutters.* No go.
Discard: (( any mods to this attack's diff
for a prone target, or pre-empts? ))
Singha: Discard
grabs Trong and finds both of them are starting to float away.
Singha: ((you can
have diff 4. *G*))
Discard: (( Still gonna try to cold cock the
dude. ))
Singha: Lai can try
to attack.
Discard: (( Damage: ))
Discard:
2,4,9,1,9,2,9,
Discard: Not the best angle for a punch,
grabbing a guy... thunk.
Joshua Coil: ((WEll... a'igh.)) *Oh, no
wait... THERE it goes. It just takes forever for his brain to click to realize
that he IS going across.*
Izzy Malloy: *Squinting. Which makes her
look even more like some punk fresh out of an arcade*
Laidan [NPC]:
10,8,9,9,2,
Singha: ((Discard I
think your deed name should be Cold Cock. After what you did to Karlos. *G*))
Laidan [NPC]:
5,10,8,5,5,
Joshua Coil: ((*snerk* Well, now, I
wouldn't say THAT.))
Andrew Fisher: *moves around to the tranqed
guards, taking vitals and checking that they are all alive*
Discard: (( I would agree, but I could see
some bad nicknames comin' outta that one. ))
Singha: Xu does a
search of Fatso. Who smells really really bad.
Joshua Coil: ((If she were called Cold
Cock, I doubt I'd be delivering pizzas to the Sept. *nods seriously*))
Singha: ((LOL I
know.))
Laidan [NPC]: ((*GROAN* *G*))
Joshua Coil: *He wades through the
thick Gauntlet, but more than likely, as per usual, they are all gone by the
time he gets there.*
Singha: Between Lai
and Discard pounding on the paralyzed Trong, they get him knocked out. but now
have the problem of getting him across the Gauntlet.
Andrew Fisher: ((*just shakes head* Now, if
she hooks up with Alec....Ew. *L*))
Laidan [NPC]: ((So, then, he's no longer floating away?))
Singha: ((Josh
are you spending WP to cross the Gauntlet? Cause it's not 4 here))
Discard: Discard frowns a little and looks
over at Laidan. "It's a bit of a walk to the sept from here," she says
helpfully.
Singha: ((Yes when
you pummel the guy into unconsciousness, his floaty gift ends. *G*))
Joshua Coil: ((Oh... thought you said
you'd give me 4. Was confused. Then NM, DLP. BBQ.))
Laidan [NPC]: ((HEY HEY HEY!! Only ONE Shifter/Wyrmspawn
relationship per site, thank you! I got dibs!))
Izzy Malloy: *She heads over to Xu* Got
anything? Fuck, can't hardly see... What's in dem darts, coke?
Laidan [NPC]: ((Diff 4 was to attack the Trongster,
Josh.))
Discard: (( Oh don't be silly. It's more
like only one shifter/wyrmspawn relationship per PLAYER, and even that's a
strained rule ))
Singha: (That diff 4
was for Discard and Lai to beat on paralyzed Trong.))
Joshua Coil: *He pokes at the air, as if
puzzled, and looks back to Andrew.* So, *he murmurs, and looks up.* You think
the girls are okay? No offense, Izzy.
Singha:
"Atropine," Xu says, handing Izzy some dark glasses. He hands a pair to Merc,
Andy, and Josh, as well.
Joshua Coil: ((*sniffles* She likes me
better...))
Izzy Malloy: 'Sawright Josh, wouldn't be
the first time ya gots girls 'n' boys mixed up.
Andrew Fisher: *gives a worried frown and
stares off into space* I don't know. *cocks his head and asks the air
apparently* Could you check on them Crow? Please?
Andrew Fisher: *takes the glasses and slips
them on* Thanks.
Joshua Coil: *He looks over, and takes the
glasses.* What, *he says flatly,* no t-shirts too?
Discard: "Sis, what're we gonna do? I think
I slept through my Umbral Theory class."
Andrew Fisher: *listens for the presence of
the spirit*
Singha: "Along with
some Rhino tranquilizer. If you don't get the antidote in a half hour, it stops
your heart and respiration."
Joshua Coil: *His head swivels to Izzy.
He's spent all but one WP. And her throat is looking VERY tasty from that
comment.*
Izzy Malloy: Atrowhut?
Laidan [NPC]: She checks Trong's vitals again, murmuring
to Discard. "Go make sure the others are okay, Discard. I will stay here with
Trong."
Laidan [NPC]: ((Per+Med again))
Andrew Fisher: *he nods* Trong is down. We
need to figure out how to get him across, and fast.
Laidan [NPC]:
5,7,6,4,6,8,
Discard: Discard looks real fidgety about
that. "You sure I shouldn't stay? If floaty McGee wakes up and pulls something
outta his ass, I might be better able to deal with ... it ... "
Izzy Malloy: *A smirk up at Josh* Relax,
damn it. Can't take an Ahroun anywhere these days
Singha: Xu looks
over at Andrew, raising a brow, as if curious as to how he knows what's going on
the other side. Then he seems to realize. "If you are speaking through a totem,
tell them to tell Trong that he's going to die without the antidote, so he'd
better crossover with you and let you give it to him."
Andrew Fisher: *relays the message to Crow
and hopes he will pass it on* But, if we bring him back, won't we have to fight
him again?
Singha: A crow
spirit flutters to Dis and Lai and forwards the message Andy gave him.
Andrew Fisher: ((Back conscious...D'oh.))
Discard: Discard looks embarrassed. "Oh,
uh," she says to Crow. "We kind of knocked him out because he was flying away."
Discard: "How long does he have until he
dies?"
Singha: Xu shakes
his head. "As soon as he's across, just choke him out and only give him enough
antidote to keep his heart beating and lungs working."
Laidan [NPC]: As she goes to respond to Discard, she gets
the message. With a nod, she looks to Trong, frowning a little. He's
unconscious. She places her hands on him, to heal the cold cock wounds.
Laidan [NPC]: 6,2,9,7,5,4,
Discard: (( ... cock wounds. I am too
tired to make a joke on that, so all of you should assume that I already did. ))
Singha: Meanwhile,
the pilot is starting up the chopper.
Singha: Lai heals
Trong enough to get him conscious.
Singha:
4,3,10,2,2,4,6,
Singha: And Xu takes
2 items off the corpse of Fatso.
Singha: Lai and Dis
roll cha+expression or man+intimidation to convice Trong to go with you.
Laidan [NPC]: She speaks to the fallen Zhong Lung quietly,
calmly. "Trong Vu. You have tranquilizer in your system. It will kill you if you
do not cross over with us, where we may give you the antidote."
Laidan [NPC]: 8,9,5,2,
Discard: Discard does what she can to
'convince' Trong that it is in his best interest to slip sideways. "Listen,
you're going to die pretty soon, chief. I don't have the antidote that can save
you from that stuff, but my friends on the Other Side do."
Discard: (( DLP ))
Discard:
9,10,9,9,
Discard: Discard apparently smiles quite
winningly to Trong. "We don't wanna see you die, man. Just cooperate with us and
it's gonna be okay."
Singha:
6,1,8,2,8,5,5,
Singha: Trong is
convinced and crosses over with them.
Discard: Yay!
Andrew Fisher: *once across, enough antidote
is administered to keep him alive, and everyone is loaded onto the helicopter*
Discard: Discard assists in the subdual and
healing of Trong, including donating yet another of her famous Cold Cocks if
necessary.
Laidan [NPC]: ((*Whew* "Guys, we got Trong, but he's
kinda...well, dead. But HERE YOU GO!" Yeah, that'da been BAD.))
Discard: (( "Our bad!" ))
Singha: But it takes
him 30 seconds. (and with that, you guys, I have ~got~ to go, I have once again
blown off hunny when I was supposed to spend the evening with the S/O. You guys
load Trong up in the chopper and take off. You can leave Fatso on the tarmac or
you can throw him in a building or on the plane and leave him, since the chopper
won't handle the extra weight of him.))
Izzy Malloy: [And, seriously. Brain oozing
from ears here... *L* CVaffeine no longer sustaining vital systems... Danger,
will robinson...]
Joshua Coil: ((Discard's Cold Cocks. It's
... cockerrific.))
Andrew Fisher: ((You see...he sorta....KILLED
HIMSELF! Yeah! That's it.))
Discard: (( I think I prefer "Cocktastic" ))
Discard: (( Thank you Singha! ))
Andrew Fisher: ((Thanks Singha. For
everything. ))
Joshua Coil: ((T'anks! Was fun... and I
sleep now too... waking in four hours...))
Laidan [NPC]: ((THANK YOU for the scene, Singha. You
rock.))
Singha: [[thanks
for playing guys, take care.]]
Discard: (( You too.4 ))
Discard: (( *stumbles to bed to take a
3.5ish hour nap* ))
Laidan [NPC]: ((I say we leave the big guy on the tarmac.
Unless several people want to go crinos and pick the big guy UP...))
Laidan [NPC]: ((Log will be sent out shortly, guys.))
Andrew Fisher: ((No....dump his ass and
run like hell. *nods*))
: ((oh yeah...Xu stays behind in Pennsylvania
to take care of Fatso's body))
: ((loads him on the baggage cart and gets him the flock outta there. *G* Now I'm gone))
Joshua Coil: ((Oh hell no. He smells. But we did get sunglasses. Which is pretty coo'. I was hoping for the tee shirt as well.))
Andrew Fisher: ((I really wanted the tee
shirt.))
Joshua Coil: (("I went to take out a
Dragon King and all I got was this lousy tee shirt."))
