Corbin Justice: ((indigo!))
Corbin Justice: ((Is this back timed for
this afternoon?))
Michelle (Rauko): (takles!))
Knife: ((Figure we'll
have the scene start in the park, early afternoon, and then we can take it from
there as I'm not too sure how everyone plans to approach things))
Corbin Justice: ((Ok...and what are we uh,
actually dong?))
Corbin Justice: ((*ggls* DOING, that is))
Michelle (Rauko): ((I am not sure... I
just know Michelle is tagging *S*))
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: ((Blood is MINE once
again!))
Knife: (they're
investigating the company AllChem, did you read the big Forum post where AllChem
is mentioned?)
Caroline McGregor: (errrr...I think that was my
blood originally)
Michelle (Rauko): ((oh! *nods* yea true,
sorry! mind clouded*))
Shadow's Blissful Silence: (Isn't is a bit
premature to count those chicks before they're mercilessly torn t...errrr...hatched.
I totally meant to say hatched!)
Caroline McGregor: (or hatcheded)
Knife: (I'm figuring
the characters will want to discuss IC how exactly they plan to approach things.
Once things get underway I'll jump in. Gonna feed one of you a bit of background
info also)
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: ((Well, I'll get us
started))
Aerin leans against a tree at the inner area of the Sept, his staff held loosely
in his hand. The man looks tired...but ready. He's managed to regain at least
some of his inner reserves with fitful rest, and he's ready to go. Whatever 'go'
means. He's dressed in the usual get-up...trench coat, dress shirt, slacks.
Headphones are in his ears, plugged into an IPod as he waits.
Michelle (Rauko): *and well... near Aerin,
Michelle is going to be waiting, sitting, very still and quiet, just waiting*
Corbin Justice: He walks into the area
eventually, unsure of what to expect, or if he'll be wanted or needed.
Shadow's Blissful Silence: And Bliss
comes running in, slowing when he sees Aerin is still there. Panting lightly he
grins and walks over at a much more normal glide. He's changed into leather at
some point. Leather pants, long leather coat, black fishnet shirt, boots. His
hair pulled back, just a ~gasp~ simple ponytail.
Corbin Justice: Aerin: "I was going to
track down Lucien, my packmate. He's a Galliard, good at this investigation
stuff. I'm not sure what you would want me to do...my forte is computers." Sort
of.
Corbin Justice: A curious look to Bliss
and he inclines his head.
Caroline McGregor: *Caroline is the last to arrive
and she's walking quickly towards the others.* i'm late...sorry. *she
apologizes.*
Michelle (Rauko): *the girl just peers at
the ones arriving faintly, with those odd eyes of hers*
Corbin Justice: He nods to Michelle and
Caroline.
Knife: (Dara is coming
too, GG was eating dinner I believe)
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He looks up at Corbin
and nods to him, pulling the headphones out. "Pardon? You said Lucian?" He nods.
"Bring him along...we could use him." He looks over to Bliss and smiles, pushing
off from the tree to nod to him. "Wow...you've dressed down. I'm impressed."
Michelle (Rauko): *blinks and offers
Corbin a fleeting smile, looking off*
Corbin Justice: "I'll try to call him."
Relieved, because he's not so sure what HE can do, without a keyboard under his
fingers. He speed dials.
Shadow's Blissful Silence: His nod to
Corbin might have been followed by speaking, but then he registers that Caroline
is there and he turns to her quickly, lips twitching a little as he struggles to
think of something to say, or possibly just to not tear out her throat. Not even
Aerin speaking quite pulls his attention off of Caroline.
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He blinks as he looks
between Bliss and Caroline. "Umm. Bliss?"
Corbin Justice: "Lucien! Remember that
stuff about *that* company? Turns out we're gonna investigate, uh....my bad, I
forgot to tell you. You near the Park, man? We're in the inner sanctum of it.
Can you get here?"
Corbin Justice: ~not noticing the
Bliss/Carrie thing~
Corbin Justice: "Cool! People are just
starting to get here. See you." Pocketing the cell. "He'll be here real soon,
taking the subway."
Shadow's Blissful Silence: Wait...was
that his name. Only his eyes move, until he can see Aerin. "Yes?" He asks. His
voice is even lower than normal, no purr, no overdramatic madness, just a nice
pretty smooth tone.
Corbin Justice: Relaxing now, getting his
self-assurance back into place.
Michelle (Rauko): *another tiny peer to
them, very quiet*
Caroline McGregor: *It's that baleful glare that
Bliss is sending her way that makes her stop in her tracks. He was one of
Stephen's friends...still is apparently by the look on his face. She swallows a
few times before squaring her chin and returning his look with a firm one of her
own.*
Dara: *wearing black hoodie and scruffy
black pants with that backpack over her shoulder(no piercings for once), hood up
and old style aviator goggles hanging about her neck she skitters her way
towards everyone when she spies them*
Knife: (if anyone needs
a recap..or has no idea what their character is doing here please PM me and I'll
give you the run down)
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He looks at Bliss,
straightening a little. Regarding the man, quite calmly, eyes meeting the
other's. "Is everything going to be all right here?"
Lucien Bourikas: In the subway he packs up
his guitar, pockets the little cash he had gotten, and takes off for the
Cherokee he had parked at a nearby garage.
Corbin Justice: Looking now curiously
between Bliss and Carrie. A glance to Michelle with a shrug.
Michelle (Rauko): *odd eyes meer Corbin's
for a slight second, and she peers down, staying very quiet*
Lucien Bourikas: (I've kept up with the
Forum, so if it's in there Im cool)
Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Oh...what
manner of son would I be if I ignored my mother's cries for help to pursue the
destruction of that Thing?" Thing gets a nice heavy emphasis. "I am far better
than that. I'm hurt you didn't know better...." There is a trace of something
playful and almost flirtacious layered over the fury.
Knife: (Caroline
carries the basic information on AllChem, I'll pass it to Aerin as he's
computerish also)
Dara: heyeverybodysorrybout .....whoa...*blinkblink,
looking to everyone there as she reaches them and the tension in the air*
Corbin Justice: He smiles and nods to
Dara, though his gaze flickers to Bliss in what could pass for puzzlement.
Corbin Justice: ((And I re-read it
thoroughly to jog my memory.))
Lucien Bourikas: He doesn't run, but does
walk briskly from the fountain, having just changed pants in the back of the
Cherokee to his black, dedicated jeans - just in case.
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "That's not what I
asked, but I'll assume it to be 'yes.'" He shakes his head and sighs, looking up
to Dara with a smile.
Caroline McGregor: *Her eyes narrow at Bliss's
words. So that's the way it is, is it?*
Michelle (Rauko): *Well she is still quiet
and silent, not really looking at anyone, as she waits for them to move,
fidgeting faintly*
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: ((As a logger, I'm
going to ask that PM's and OOC comments be kept to a relative minimum because of
the room they're in. The Open rooms have a tiny amount of space before posts
start to vanish for some reason, as you all can probably tell.))
Corbin Justice: He looks to Carrie as
if he might apologize on behalf of all Garou for Bliss' words, but he doesn't.
He sighs, wanting to get started.
Dara: hey, uh...cor...hippyman...everybody..*blinking
and nodding to them, nibbling where the lipring usually is slightly* it um...ok
for the decidedly 'non' predator type to be about right now?
Shadow's Blissful Silence: He gives Aerin
an annoyed look, but even abjectly enraged by Caroline's assumption she should
remain in his presence without even so much as apologising and Aerin having
forgotten he's not about to let her get in his way he doesn't look about to hurt
him. He turns to look at Michelle with a smile that's more bared teeth than
friendliness for all he's trying. "Hey-hey, ghost." His voice at least, is
better. Less psycotic killer, more glad to see people he knows.
Michelle (Rauko): *blinks, peering faintly
up to Bliss... before she murmurs* goodeveningRhya
Shadow's Blissful Silence: He glances at
Dara with a soft laugh. "Oh...I don't kill people who don't deserve it." He
sighs heavily. "Aerin'd probably get in the way anyway. He's all with the giving
peace a chance." He grins and steps toward Dara to offer her a hand. "Bliss."
Lucien Bourikas: He spots the group as he
gets closer, making out Corbin's form the easiest, and moves to him first,
nodding to the others assembled.
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: ((And I'm going to be
slow as well, because I'm going through a bunch of info just handed to me. Sorry
about that.))
Corbin Justice: He smiles warmly to his
packmate. "Hey, Lucien. Um, sorry for forgetting to tell you..." Typical.
Caroline McGregor: *That fury makes her wish she
could break the rule and carry silver on her to deal with the enemies in front
of her as well as the one's behind. She clears her throat, keeping those
thoughts to herself.* I think we've all been pouring over the new information
trying to find a lead we can start on. *She looks at Aerin.* I think perhaps we
have one, however small and tenuous a thread it is.
Knife: (gonna change me
skin)
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "You're fine, Dara."
He sighs and looks over to Lucien, giving him an even nod. "Evening, Lucien."
Corbin Justice: He looks to Carrie, then
to Aerin.
Lucien Bourikas: "Good evening," To the group
overall, then a deeper nod to Aerin, "...Rhya."
Dara: bliss: yeeeeah , heh heh*soft half
nervous half joking chuckle before she straightens herself and slips the hood
back so her face is actually visable, long jet black hair(no bleach blond bangs
anymore) spilling down her back, hand reaching to take his offered one* Dara...birdygirl,
featherhead, birdbrain, pixiestick,mouth...whatever works....nice to finally
meet ya bliss*petite and almost too pale/too thin, her hand is likely swallowed
in anyone elses*
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
*he meanders towards the gathering bouncing along
listening to his tunes. He's moving casually perhaps not actually searching for
the others but finding them by accident. He glances around at the assembled
Garou and kinfolk* Yo...Mal says hi, whatcha all up to?
Corbin Justice: He inclines his head to
Jameel.
Michelle (Rauko): *and after the little
words to Bliss,s he goes back onto complete silence.... watching and listening*
Caroline McGregor: *Her lips tighten again and her
hands clench a bit before relaxing. focus on the problem at hand, focus on the
problem at hand.*
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
Ah back at work..such a shame. *he takes out his
ear phones* I was feelin all happy there for couple weeks pretendin I was a
Fangy.
Shadow's Blissful Silence: His head tilts
suddenly, and though his eyes flick to Caroline when she starts talking and
gives Lucien an absent nod, he seems excited and very much distracted by a new
thought. "Raven?" He asks Dara very softly. "I've met no other kind of bird...."
Caroline McGregor: hello Jameel. *She says, more
measured calm than quiet.*
Lucien Bourikas: He looks over Jameel, having
heard the name but only now seeing the man in the flesh.
Dara: *nodding to bliss, soft clicking
coming from inside her mouth* yup, dont know of any others m'self
either...*bringing out a lock of hair thats hidden in the rest that has a small
black feather tied to it*
Corbin Justice: He maintains his poise and
self-assurance, staying alert.
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
Hey Carrie. *he smiles warmly at her * Everythin
alright?
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He looks at Jameel and
nods to him with a faint smile, and then back to Caroline. "Magadon uses a
substance called Phasidol in the production of this advanced Fomorol that
they're using. Phasidol is chemical stabilizer, created by a man named Jacob
Wagner, that is sold to Magadon by a company named AllChem."
Caroline McGregor: *Her eyes flick to Bliss for a
very moment but then she looks back at Jameel, shrugging a bit.* Sure, why
wouldn't they be?
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: ((As in, he looks back
to Caroline, as if elaborating on her mention of a lead. The words are to
everyone.))
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
Damn..sounds like some heavy shit. *he nods as if
he knows what the hell Aerin is talking about. He moves to stand beside
Caroline..perhaps a bit protectively. He smiles to Michelle as well* Hey
Michelle. *he says to her quietly so as to not interrupt Aerin*
Dara: *when info starts getting spewed, no
matter whos direction it goes, she starts listening, eyes alert and attentive*
Michelle (Rauko): *odd eyes peer to Jameel
and she offers a little deferent nod, in silence*
Shadow's Blissful Silence: He grins at
Dara, delighted, and then settles against a tree to watch Aerin. Perfectly calm
again.
Corbin Justice: He listens closely to
Aerin.
Caroline McGregor: *Nods.* Allchem seems mainly to
be research and development. They're small, only about 50 employees, but almost
half are scientists. I haven't been able to find any link to Magadon beyond the
Phasidol. However, a short time ago Magodon instigated an unsuccessful take over
of AllChem which was stopped by the Board of Directors.
Corbin Justice: "Remarkable," he comments.
"Usually the little companies fold to the big guys."
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
(Baseball is angering me, so..watch out)
Michelle (Rauko): *and then tilts her
head, listening to Aering and Caro*
Michelle (Rauko): ((*hides*!))
Dara: *she mouths a silent 'wow' at a
magadon takeover being stopped, thoughtful look to her face but listening
further first*
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
So what we gonna be lookin for? Gonna try to find
out more bout this company..try an infiltrate it?
Shadow's Blissful Silence: "So, are we
thinking of attacking the point of contact to the drug? Even to me, destroying a
company that makes a part of a process if they aren't part of it sounds extreme,
though if they alone are the ones who know how to prepare it it may be better
that knowledge stay buried."
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He nods. "Which would
indicate to me that one of two things is in play here. Either AllChem is
legitimately independant of Magadon, and possibly has some other kind of
backing...or perhaps it was an attempt to make them look independant.
Regardless, nothing's for certain. It's certainly conspicuous that they would be
able to fend off Magadon. However, what we do know is that Phasicol is pretty
essential to Fomorol's production. We shut that down, we stop the Fomorol...or
at the very least deal it a very serious blow."
Caroline McGregor: I'm not sure..the biggest
glitch in their plans with the Fomorol is that they need the Phasidol in order
to make it work. If we can stop production of it...than perhaps it will buy us
some time to plan our next step.
Corbin Justice: "Do they work on
government projects, do we know? Does it go to that level? And if they're a
public company, we may be able to look into their finances."
Michelle (Rauko): *and then very
hesitantily murmurs* whatif other...chemlab...makesit...th..thephasidol
Dara: who owns allchem? I
mean...considering they stopped a takeover by 'them'and all...*blinking a bit
again*
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
*don't know nothin bout this corporate take over
stuff* If they ain't connected to Maggydon *intentionally saying it wrong* then
attackin them ain't a good course o action. Last I checked we ain't into killin
and maiming of normal folk.
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "I'm fairly sure no
one else makes Phasidol. Wagner's worked at AllChem for 12 years now, and he's
been the man behind the project. Further, AllChem has a patent on it."
Lucien Bourikas: "With a sample of the
Phasidol, do we know of any chemists that could possibly find something that
reacts to it, or even alters it?"
Caroline McGregor: But if we can deal with Jacob
Wagner, the one who made the Phasidol....*She suggests.*
Shadow's Blissful Silence: He shrugs
lightly. "If they are determined, they will find another way. They will beg
their gibbering master for it, nuzzling and pleading until he whispers his
poison into the ears of other scientists. This would slow them, but they will
reappear like cancer. We must destroy what lies at the center of this. If we are
to cut them free of this drug, we must be prepared to press immediately to
Madagon itself."
Corbin Justice: "Well else is Phasidol
used for, if anything? Since they have a patent on it." Following up on Lucien's
questions.
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "No one said we're
attacking them, Jameel. Not yet, anyway. But a little corporate espionage
wouldn't hurt, if we can manage it."
Caroline McGregor: *She looks at Dara.* I'm not
sure, who owns them. It might be a good idea to check that out.
Lucien Bourikas: He looks to Caroline, "What
do we know of the man, personally I mean, anything?"
Dara: who else do they sell phasidol to
though? chemical stabalizer could prolly be used for...decent amount of things
if its thought about
Michelle (Rauko): *a litte nod to Aerin,
and listens in silence again*
Caroline McGregor: Lucien: There's really not a lot
about him that I was able to find. *not about to answer anything Bliss says.
Leaves that to Aerin.*
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
Oh I'm down for some Monkey wrenchin..we
Gnawers..dat's our speciality *his own version of the word specialty*
Dara: *nodding to caroline* has anybody
spoken to the glasswalkers? last I knew they were one of the bigger 'into owning
companies' types
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "The AllChem
Corporation does. They're privately owned. And I don't know who or if they sell
it to anyone else...frankly, I don't much care. There's lots of chemical
stabilizers out there...the Goddess can do without this one, if you ask me."
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Have I missed any
questions?" Since they were all coming pretty much at the same time.
Lucien Bourikas: "Everyone has a weakness,
whether a person or some habit... something we can discover and use to our
advantage. Maybe he even visits the local brothel secretly. Men like that always
have secrets."
Lucien Bourikas: (Last basically to
Caroline's response)
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
Dis is who we got Birdy-girl. We been at this
prollem for months now..this is who stands wit us to help take down
this..whatever the hell it is..guess it be some kind o conspiracy.
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Jacob Wagner's a
fairly private man it seems, which doesn't bode well, usually. I couldn't find
out much about him. He's worked at AllChem for 12 years, and the Phasidol is one
of a lot of breakthrough compounds he's invented."
Caroline McGregor: There's a list of companies
that have purchased Phasidol...mostly medical companies who are working on drugs
to prevent heart attack and strokes. That makes our job that much harder. It's
out there... and a good amount of it. I could try to get a hold of their
shipping manifests...see who nearby has a supply of Phasidol.
Shadow's Blissful Silence: "More
advisement than question. Because I'll slaughter people who've no crime greater
than knowledge that should not exist - however, if their master has seen it, his
poison will spread, even if by his slithering tounges creeping into the ears of
new pawns."
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
Can we track them shippin the Phasidol an shit?
Like with computers an stuff..maybe we can find out where that secret f'n lab is
Corbin Justice: "So basically, we need to
figure out how we want to look into this and draw up a plan?"
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
*his eyes widen at Bliss' words. He looks to
Aerin with a concerned glance*
Caroline McGregor: If he does, Lucien..it's not on
his resume. *She says with a brief, not particularly humour filled smile.*
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Quite possibly," he
says to Jameel with a nod. "It's our best bet, anyway. Which brings me to where
I was about to get to...the AllChem lab itself."
Michelle (Rauko): *she keeps listening,
frowning lightly as she both treis to catch up with all the talk and think ...
but they are talking, and keeps listening, tugging of her sleeves faintly*
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He doesn't seem to
have much reaction to Bliss's words. Like he expected them. "Phasidol itself is
not a knowledge that shouldn't exist. Fomorol is."
Corbin Justice: "So with Phasidol being a
benefit as well as a harm, it *is* possible the company is not aware of what
it's being used for by Magadon?"
Dara: hrm....well...since Im in on things
Im guessing recons in order*nodding to jameel, half talking to herself half out
loud, babbling as per usual* finding where its shipped to is a good idea,
finding where this wagner guy lives maybe getting something on him is another...mebbe
getting someone on the inside of this allchem place somehow unless thats already
happening*chewing the non existant lipring again as she does that babbling to
herself thing*
Shadow's Blissful Silence: "So we leave
the lab be and start hitting the supply trucks coming to Madagon long enough to
disrupt their process and then attack. Leave the little company be if it is no
direct threat."
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
I ain't down for goin in an killin humans who
ain't tainted. Sure as shit Mal ain't either, talkin like we gonna go in as some
righteous death squad..fuck that..we ain't monsters. *spoken like the Cliath
Bone Gnawer that he is*
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "it is possible, yes,
Corbin. It's even likely."
Caroline McGregor: Phasidol is the only link between
Magadon and Allchem. It's possible that Professor Wagnor once worked for
Magadon..and still does in a way. It's smart of them to spread their operatives
out like they seem to.
Corbin Justice: Softly, "Hit the Magadon
shipments," he says in agreement with Bliss.
Lucien Bourikas: He looks over at Bliss,
"Perhaps make them think street thugs attacking the trucks hoping for things to
manufacture illegal drugs?"
Shadow's Blissful Silence: "No, we are
Garou, and we have a sacred duty to Gaia to destroy the Wrym at any cost. Our
claws are far more merciful than the slow soul poison the Wrym offers them.
Whatevery mockery of life remains to them will be agony. And that is what all of
your precious innocents are doomed to if we fail. Remember that."
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "The SS wasn't
tainted, Jameel. Neither were the scientists that designed the showers they
installed in Auschwitz. But they all helped Hitler visit a great evil upon this
world." He looks at the Guardian calmly. "And while hitting Magadon's shipments
the first time will work, we're going to lose the element of surprise the second
time. And the third, and so on. It's an option...as distraction, perhaps. But we
need to stop it at the source. Which may...I do say ~MAY~...mean killing Wagner
and destroying all records of the process to create it."
Michelle (Rauko): *wincing a bit
hearing Bliss, keeps tugging at her sleeves, listening*
Lucien Bourikas: "Then there has got to be
some way to find out more on the good Professor. That well known perhaps someone
going to med school, or something similar might request an actual interview with
him for a school paper, or newspaper?"
Corbin Justice: "Has he done any
publications? Most do, even those keeping a low profile."
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
At any cost..*he shakes his head an looks down*
I'll help..but I ain't no murderer. Ain't gonna be killin me no dude who makes
$16 bucks an hour on the night shift as a security guard..got imself a wife an
kids to support. Fuck that. I know you ain't like that Aerin-rhya...I know you
ain't.
Dara: if theres a patent on it who
knows how many copies of what and how to make it is out there, let alone if the
patents been on there for how long?
Lucien Bourikas: He nods slowly, "I'm sorry,
but I agree. Wars kill hundreds of innocents as well as the soldiers, and to
destroy the greater evil if we can, even if it means a few must die. We can try
to prevent it, but not at the cost of eliminating the source. Think of the ones
who would be saved in the end."
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
You all some cold fuckers. *not meant to be
disrespectful. He is a Bone Gnawer after all* Combat the Wyrm where ever it
dwells and whenever it breeds. Nuttin in that tells me smash up anyone who gets
in yer way.
Caroline McGregor: *When it comes down to the nitty
gritty..she won't be the one holding the gun, so she has no call to add her
opinion..but she understands Jameel's concerns and gives him a nod of support.*
Corbin Justice: "I prefer a more subtle
approach than smash, kill, and grab. I just don't know what would be realistic
in this scenario. I don't have enough information."
Shadow's Blissful Silence: "And when that
man is exposed to drugs that make him a fomor, when he comes home and devours
his child before he rapes his daughter...what have you accomplished? How much
suffering have you truly spared them? You do not live in a world that has
answers that lead to riding off into the sunset. This is war, and you were
chosen for it, born for it. To reject that truth is to reject your Mother even
as you abandon her to die."
Michelle (Rauko): *She just stays quiet,
listening, quiet and still expect for heands on the tugging of her sleeves. Odd
eyes staring a bit off and relatively down. *
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "No publications that I was able to track down. Honestly, we just need to get to the Professor, Lucien. Once we get to him, we'll find out everything we need." He looks at Jameel. "No, I'm not advocating killing the $16-an-hour security guards. However, I would have killed Oppenheimer to have avoided Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Chernobyl, and all the Wyrm Taint splitting the atom has spread across this world."
Caroline McGregor: I don't think they're talking
about destroying everyone who gets in their way. *she hopes.* But
unfortunately...they're will probably be innocent people, truck drivers,
delivery men, guards..who are going to get hurt, even killed before this is
done.
Lucien Bourikas: He looks to Jameel, "I
wasn't suggesting cold blooded murder, but think of that guard's wife and
children... if they get some of this poison? What is to help them then? Having
their father alive will not mean anything if this continues to spread. What is
the old saying? The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. I said we
could try to prevent killing innocents, but there might not be a choice. They
are dead anyway if we don't, in one form or another."
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
Kill the fuckin fomor, smash up Maggydon's
lab..we can find it wit dis can't we? That fuckin lab we been yappin bout for
weeks now..now we gonna go off on some scorched earth crusade to wipe things off
the face o the planet. What if them fuckers at Maggydon play by the rules...they
know how to make Phasidol...they just don't cause o that patent shit
Shadow's Blissful Silence: He gives Lucien
an approving nod.
Corbin Justice: He makes a pained
expression at Bliss' words, and has to bite his tongue.
Dara: so...the professor works
exsclusively at allchem, and is a private guy, done a few big chemical things at
the company and been with them for a while, so would he still have files on him
in whatever human resources department allchem has?
Lucien Bourikas: He nods to Aerin, "That is
what I was thinking, Rhya. But to get close to him, if he is like most, the
thought of a bit of fame, even with a mere student or a reporter might get him
within our reach. Or at the least give us some other possible clues into his
private life."
Lucien Bourikas: He nods back to Bliss as
they seem to at least be of one mind at the moment.
Shadow's Blissful Silence: "It's not a
formor yet. It's a faithful husband who is deleriously happy at the birth of his
son, at the chance to raise another child, at the vacation he'll go on next year
with his wife. Will you let the Wrym take their love and their sanity before it
takes their lives, or will you offer him the mercy of a swift death before
destroys the family he cherishes?" His voice is still quiet, edging into
frustrated, but not angry.
Lucien Bourikas: (bit of fame, or talking
about himself - please add that other little bit, was typing too fast)
Shadow's Blissful Silence: [....before HE
destroys the family he cherishes?"]
Michelle (Rauko): *she then wihspers* do
we...you..knowwherehelives?
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "And for the record,
folks, while we're on the subject...Security. Securimax, the company that
contracts AllChem's 5 security personnel, is a fairly large company. And it's
all very shadowy as to who owns them. It's not obviously Magadon, but Magadon
isn't Pentex's only subsidiary. Consider that thought for a moment. I'm not
saying they are something more, but also consider that we can do this without
killing the paycheck collectors. We're Warriors of the Goddess, yes. We're also
Hunters. If we can't stalk prey, then we've got some pretty serious fucking
issues." He sighs...this is getting them nowhere. "Okay, everyone, STOP."
Corbin Justice: Bliss: "We get it," he
says quietly. "There's no need for the dark drama. We understand, we get it, we
will do what has to be done. Please, can we focus on strategy. I want to know
what is happening."
Lucien Bourikas: "Most men, or at least the
ones worth saving, would offer themselves to die before they would their
families."
Caroline McGregor: I think..*She says thoughtfully.*
that perhaps they've only recently decided to take over Allchem because the work
with Fomorol and Phasidol is starting to come together and it would be more cost
effective just to own the company outright. Unfortunately..what that will mean,
once the Fomorol is perfercted...is that those employees, the ones that aren't
laid off or quit, will be in danger of becoming Fomor themselves. But just
because the possibility for it to occur is there, doens't make it right to kill
them, or anyone just because of what MIGHT happen. We have to make sure we stop
that critical point from occuring. Take out the key people who are the ones to
make it work...just as Aerin said.
Lucien Bourikas: He lays a hand on Corbin's
shoulder, just a tiny little squeeze but meaningful.
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
Fuckin A man. *he says in response to what Corbin
said*
Corbin Justice: He silences, looking to
Aerin intently. He tried to be good.
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: His eyes flick to
Bliss's a moment, sharing a look, before looking back. Waiting for everyone to
fall silent.
Aerin Thomas [PB 3] -> Shadow's Blissful Silence:
That look very specifically said "Was I this young
and naive, too?"
Corbin Justice: Carrie: He nods
thoughtfully to what she says.
Caroline McGregor: *and goes silent at Aerin's
request.*
Lucien Bourikas: He also grows quiet at
Aerin's words.
Shadow's Blissful Silence: He sighs and
gives Aerin a look that clearly says Aerin is letting Jameel's education go on
lacking its central foundations, but he does stop, walking over to nuzzle
lightly at Aerin's throat, and then flopping down at his feet.
Michelle (Rauko): *she easely goes to
utter silence, listening*
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
Gonna be tellin Mal bout that one. *he says out
loud. Likely it's obvious who he's talking about although he looks down when he
says it*
Shadow's Blissful Silence -> Aerin Thomas [PB 3]:
"You still are, when you let yourself be.
Sometimes you just forget that you have me to be the one who has to hear the
screams echo. It doesn't do to me what it does to you. I've never been human
enough." He whispers as he nuzzles.
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Our goal is
threefold, people." He raises three fingers into the air, as if to accentuate
the points, dropping a finger as he lists off each goal. "First: Get into
AllChem, either physically, spiritually, or otherwise, and find out what we can
about Magadon. That includes where the Fomorol lab is, any employees that may
have links to Magadon, and any other ties AllChem may have to the Wyrm."
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
*he falls silent and listens to the Alpha, least
he's sane*
Caroline McGregor: *She nods. Some of those are
easier said than done, but all should, hopefully be doable.*
Corbin Justice: He listens intently.
Michelle (Rauko): *listens*
Lucien Bourikas: He grows thoughtful at
Aerin's words.
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He's quiet for a
moment when Bliss nuzzles him, and looks faintly pained, before continuing.
"Second. Stop the shipment of Phasidol to Magadon, by any means necessary.
Whether they have the knowledge to make Phasidol or not, they aren't, and if we
shut AllChem down in that department, we can at least slow Magadon down, and
give us time to plan the attack on their lab, assuming we find it via Goal
Number One."
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: ((Sane? *Cackles*
Silly Jameel.))
Michelle (Rauko): ((*hugs Rav* let
him... he is still innocnet *S*hideS*))
Shadow's Blissful Silence: He rolls a
little, onto his back to look up at Aerin. "We could try sending Cloud, but I
doubt she is much suited to that. I'm not half sadistic enough to suggest Catie.
What happened that girl who would fuck anything that moved? Your kin I think.
Erin?"
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "And for the record,
befor we start arguing, 'by any means necessary' means that we yes, if
necessary, send Joseph Wagner off to the Dark Umbra. It doesn't mean any of the
following: Arson, Explosives, or Mass Slaughter of the personnel at AllChem,
unless we find sufficient reason to."
Dara: *slipping to a seat on the ground
herself, legs folded up close as she listens quietly*
Caroline McGregor: *Wow..and she thought Arn could
be insulting.*
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
We got our resources right here, ain't need to be
callin in no one else. We been getting the job done on our own till now. *he
chimes in, mouthy isn't an uncommon trait for Gnawers, he's no different*
Corbin Justice: A glance at Lucien. A
light shake of his head.
Lucien Bourikas: He makes a motion towards
Aerin, "As to that third, Rhya, we also need to make sure that the good doctor
has no close associates in training, or merely taking him out does us little
good."
Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Just because
people in this city need to be reminded they have a duty is no reason to leave
them to play at being human and unfettered by a higher purpose."
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: His face remains
neutral. "We'll get to plans in a second, Bliss." Last finger--the index, for
the record, he's not flipping anyone off--drops. "Third. We set a trap for
Magadon. We use this opportunity to try to lure them into making a mistake...one
we can capitalize on."
Corbin Justice: Lucien: "The information
may have to come from Dr. Wagner himself, though with the first prong, we will
be attempting to learn all we can."
Corbin Justice: He looks to Aerin again,
listening.
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
What kind o mistake we talkin bout?
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He nods to Lucien.
"That goes into Goal Number Two. Stop the shipment by any means necessary. If
his assistants can do it, we haven't stopped the shipment."
Lucien Bourikas: A quiet whisper to Corbin,
so as not to interrupt again, "Which is why I suggested the interview. Amazing
how much people will talk about themselves to reporters or wide-eyed students
who hold them in awe."
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He grins a little
savagely to Jameel. "Funny you should mention that. I just so happen to have an
idea."
Corbin Justice: A faint smile to Lucien.
Caroline McGregor: And what's that? *curious as
to Aerin's plan.*
Michelle (Rauko): *and odd eyes actually
peer to Aerin, still mostly listening*
Shadow's Blissful Silence: "I would
suggest we get to the point that we're planning and then from there start at the
beginning. As Aerin wishes. I think...?" He rolls back onto his side, curling so
that he just barely touches Aerin, perfectly content on the ground.
Shadow's Blissful Silence: [Or DLP if
Aerin is taking that question before he can start trying to run everything for
his alpha....]
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
Definitely gonna be tellin Mal. *he mutters*
Dara: *still keeping quiet,fingers start
to fidget with the raggedy hems of her huge pantlegs, eyes on aerin*
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He lights a
cigarette...they're not in the center of the park, he's not polluting the
Totem's land any more then he does anywhere else in the city. "We make it look
like we made a mistake ourselves, and lure some of them into an ambush. Give
them a way to find one of us. Or make them think they do. And we be ready for
them."
Corbin Justice: "Who gets to be bait?"
Shadow's Blissful Silence: "What manner of
mistake? And what manner of leading them to the ambush? That changes your best
options for bait."
Lucien Bourikas: He nods to Aerin's idea.
"Who gets to play bait? I would not want to unnecessarily endanger a kin for
that."
Michelle (Rauko): *listening and
fidgeting*
Lucien Bourikas: And yet again, the two lords
seem to be sharing a mind.
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "They want my
daughter. They want Annette. Something tells me, based on something told to
certain people close to me...they may want me, too." He shrugs. "And I don't
mind being bait."
Michelle (Rauko): *blinks, odd eyes
going up to Aerin*
Michelle (Rauko): *for a long second at
least*
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
I'm lost..
Dara: oh...boy...*blinking a bit again*
Kelsey Horn (PB3): Enter the skater girl.
Her blonde hair is pulled back into a ponytail. Pale complexion. Blue-gray eyes.
Worn jeans, blue t-shirt. Sneakers. A rather full backpack over her shoulder and
a plain black skateboard tucked under her arm. She wanders into the Sept looking
around when she hears voices. Pic: http://www.wodnyc.net/modules.php?name=coppermine&file=displayimage&album=1&pos=62
*
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]:
d10: Per+Alert: 9,5,7,9,3,9,
Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Not that I'd
like to tell you tere's a gaping hole in your plan, but the survival of bait
must not be crucial to the plan. You're leading. We need you to give order
should anything change. Michelle is kin. I adore Tori. They know I've lived with
her. If you must use that plan, use me."
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He looks up
immediately as Kelsey comes close, tensing momentarily, before he realizes who
it is. He then quickly relaxes, smiling in her direction.
Dara -> Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: *daras
giving him a look of major concern for him, probably being one of the only(or is
she the only?) there that remembers how he was after the whole doctor/logorithm
incident*
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
What da fuck we talkin about? Bait for what?
What's that got to do wit da plan he just outlined..
Kelsey Horn (PB3):
d10: per alert: 9,3,5,8,5,
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Everyone lives,
Bliss. Death is not an option, remember?"
Michelle (Rauko): *she peers to where
Aerin, then back, fidgeting, before she murmurs* I'llhelp
Corbin Justice: A glance to Kelsey, a warm
smile and small wave to her, attention back to the gathering.
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
(Difficulty to see each other is 3, it's the
middle of the afternoon, no need to roll unless you have the flaw: blind)
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Bait for the trap
we're laying, Jameel." He waves Kelsey over.
Kelsey Horn (PB3): *She smiles at Aerin and
waves a bit, including the other people she's met before as well, though she
doesn't speak up. Looks like they're busy at the moment so she just moves up to
listen.*
Lucien Bourikas: He looks at Aerin, then to
Bliss. "Not arguing with you, Rhya, but should we offer something up to them
that they so badly want? You have a lot of responsibilities, to a lot of people.
To lose you would be a heavy blow to us."
Kelsey Horn (PB3): ((*L* Okay...gotten used
to rolling when joining a scene ))
Caroline McGregor: That would perhaps bring the
spirals out..but they've just been diversion to keep us from the real problem. I
don't know if you've noticed..but they come out of hiding when we're gettign
close to something they don't want us to be near. All's we need to do is reveal
our hand. Carry on our investigations..but be a little careless..not too
careless. They'll come running. As soon as they realize their precious Phasidol
is in jeopardy.
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
Trap for who though? Ain't it them spirals who
wanted yours and Carrie's kids? What they got to do with Maggydon and the
Phasiwhatever?
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "The Spirals are
working for the Professor who's producing the Fomorol at Magadon, Jameel. Which
is why Alecia's been with them at every step."
Dara: *she furrows her brows and leans her
chin on her knees, sighing softly*
Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Well, just in
case it's more optional than I was planning on, you don't get to play bait. If I
refused Maia her will I can refuse yours on the rare occasions you're wrong. For
this to work, their needs to be a leader in close proximity who can adapt the
plan. Which will keep people from dying. And you're it, in the event you hadn't
noticed, you're probably the only one we all trust. And in a life or death
situation, one must obey orders without even a second's question or esitation."
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
I don't get it...
Shadow's Blissful Silence: "You don't have
to. Your alpha does." He looks at Jameel with perfect calm, he absolutely
believes that. Thank Gaia he's following Aerin and not someone more like
himself....
Lucien Bourikas: Aerin> "How did you come to
that conclusion?"
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "I'm aware that
they're distraction, Caroline. And they've been winning the game because of
that. Why shouldn't we turn the tables on them, distract them? Make them wonder
where we're coming from? It's only one leg of our plan, and furthermore,
if we can wipe out a couple Spirals, it makes it that much harder for them to
distract us. Weaken them before they can come at us full-force."
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
Fuck dat. Even the soldiers gotta understand the
plan to play their role..Mal always be tellin me that.
Michelle (Rauko): *frowning, fidgeting,
listening, though she peers to Aerin*
Shadow's Blissful Silence: He sighs deeply
and then looks up to Aerin. "May I attempt to explain?"
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Alecia is working
with the Professor. We know this. The basket, anyone? The homeless shelter?" He
looks around. "She's also been around every time that the Spirals have caused us
problems. The Professor also attacked Michelle, much like the others have
attacked other kin. Is it that much of a stretch to make a connection between
them?"
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~: I jes ain't clear on our goal. What's drawin them Spirals out gotta do with smashin up Magadon's lab or stopping them from making the chemicals an shit?
Corbin Justice: He simply listens,
nothing to inject verbally for now.
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
Shit man..huge ass corporation..an that little
girlie is some kind o integral part of it. *he shrugs* Don't be makin much sense
to me
Caroline McGregor: Becasue that's just what they
want us to do, Aerin. The spirals, the Professor..even Alecia at this
point..they don't matter. What matters is the other part of your plan...this
distraction of yours is just going to distract us. We have enough information
now where we don't truly need anything from the Professor, or the rest of his
ilk. You have made a point of trying to make us focus on what we need to
do...you need to focus on that too.
Lucien Bourikas: Again he grows quiet and
thoughtful, watching the pieces of the puzzle Aerin is filling in.
Lucien Bourikas: (watching=listening)
Kelsey Horn (PB3): *Corbin seems to be just
listening like herself so she moves over to murmur quietly to him, not wanting
to disrupt those actually planning.*
Corbin Justice: "I think we need to
take it in pieces, like you set out, Aerin-rhya. One, two, three. Drawing out
the Spirals...it seems to be a different focus."
Dara: *shaking her head, brows still
furrowed as she continues listening*
Kelsey Horn (PB3): *She gives Corbin a "Well,
Duh" look*
Lucien Bourikas: (brb, brb)
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
*he nods at Corbin and Caroline's words*
Kelsey Horn (PB3): *And so he joins the
conversation, she shrugs a bit and goes back to listening.*
Shadow's Blissful Silence: "The spirals
are part of Madagon's plan. They work with Madagon, just as Alecia does. This is
more than a lab. This is the army of the enemy. Hiding behind the fascade of a
human company does not make them a human company. Just as humans are oblivious
to the greater nature of this park, but it is, this company may have a greater
nature, or possibly simply be the tool of something even larger. And that thing
may not really be a little girl. The world is fantastic and terrible...you must
not forget that, or it will catch you unprepared and strike. They want our kin,
the love to take them...for their usefulness and to drive us wild with grief.
The Wrym thrives on confusion and pain. It makes sense they try to play these
games here and now, but we must not play by thier rules. We must change the
rules, the board, bribe the judges...whatever we must - but we must win."
Corbin Justice: Faint grin at Kelsey. A
casual shrug. Brat that he is.
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Magadon is a Wyrm-ran
company, Jameel. We..." He sighs. "Just...trust me. We know she's associated,
okay? Magadon's more then just a corporation. Spirals work with it. Maybe not
directly, but they're certainly involved." He looks at Caroline. "Has everyone
missed the part where this is one of three goals, all accomplishable in the same
swoop? This is a misdirection. We're doing what they're doing right back to
them. They hit our kin, they make us angry, they make us afraid. Fear is power,
people. And it's time they started remembering that they should be afraid of the
Goddess...and her army. It will weaken them. Make them make a mistake."
Michelle (Rauko): ((sorry had to
space))
Corbin Justice: "Magadon is the third
stage. The first is All Chem, gathering information on the company, the drug,
and Dr. Wagner."
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
*he shrugs after Bliss speaks* I agree wit dem
two. *speaking of Caroline and Corbin* Dat little bitch she be handin out
tainted candy..they could find someone else to do that..big nasty one Bigmack (Grshthak)
he's part o some huge plan? Seems like he just like chaos to me..
Michelle (Rauko): *she is listening very
still. Her eyes blinking, and peering straigh with a faint little frown and a
nearly invisible shiver*
Shadow's Blissful Silence: He just drops
his head to the ground with a sigh as Jameel fails to comprehend basic truths
of, well...everything.
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
These fuckers dey be makin soldiers right now
man! Spirals, they dangerous no doubt..but I ain't gettin the feelin that dey be
more than soldiers. Cept that Professor a-hole..he's one we gotta stop..and he
only shown is face once
Caroline McGregor: We're doing what they want us to
do. You want to use someone as bait and see if you can draw them out...the
spirals..WHY? What will that accomplish. They are just there as
diversion...nothing else. Having anything to do with them is just diverting us.
We have enough on our plates trying to figure out Allchem and figure out how to
stop the production of Fomorol.
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
Why you just gonna stop listenin to Carrie
now..she been here for the whole ride..jes like you. She's seen it all first
hand *he says this more quietly as he takes on a slightly more defeated posture*
Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Do not
underestimate your enemy. Your certainty that he is no more than he seems and
must be less than you fear is part of the reason the war is not run and Spirals
breed like rats. If they were simply the chaos you see, what resistance would
they provide the army of Gaia?"
Lucien Bourikas: (bk) "Chaos is the center of
the problem. Keep us running like chickens with our heads cut off, make our kin
fear of going out and having lives. The enemy churns its tail in chaos."
Michelle (Rauko): *and perks, frowning,
closing her eyes a moment, her eyes opening wide a moment, before she reaches
and trues to rub them and stare ahead of her, frowning more*
Lucien Bourikas: (*drops head* Was trying to
catch up, put post in right spot)
Corbin Justice: He nods agreeing with
Lucien. "We need to narrow our focus, at least at the start. If we try to move
against everything, and draw the Spirals out in the process, we're fucked."
Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Those Spirals
may well serve as guards at Madagon. And the fewer guards when we strike the
better. Not to mention if they think we have fallen to their misdirection they
may continue their plans to nip at our heels and never realise with the
agonising closeness of what they see as prey that their death calls softly on
the wind."
Dara: *glancing over to michelle, she
scoots quietly towards her, digging in the pack, and brings out a bag of
gummyworms(mmm sugar) offering them to her, still listening though*
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
I ain't understimatin em! Shit..just tryin to
focus on our main foes. The company man, the company! They the dangerous
ones..be spreadin their poison..we gonna tip or hand to draw them out. That be
like the Spirals layin a trap to draw me out! What the fuck dat gonna
accomplish?
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
(our hand, and by them he means the Spirals)
Michelle (Rauko): *even though she winces
faintly, nearly, nearly reaching to put both hands over her ears, but she really
wills herself not to*
Kelsey Horn (PB3): *She continues to listen
quietly not going to speak when she doesn't know all of the story.*
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
We holdin -A- card.. we got one Ace! They got the
rest o the deck!
Michelle (Rauko): ((oh)) *doens't reay
seems to notice Dara*
Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Taking a
warrior from us. One I may not agree with, but ne of the few passionate enough
to be here, one who holds Gaia close enough to love her children so much he
would try to find a merciful way to spare them. And at this point...more than
ten percent of our total assembled force."
Dara: *sighing when she doesnt seem to be
noticed, shrugging,she drops a couple worms in her mouth and gobbles them down,
then looks to aerin, holding up a hand like she were in grade school or
something*
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He rubs his forehead.
"Why? I...Goddess Almighty. Because for all the reasons I've outlined just now,
plain as day. We do NOT have too much on our plates, Caroline. We can ~DO~ this.
We use misdirection. Shadow games. We trick them into coming to us. This is
about hurting them on our terms. And preventing them from coming at us, again
and again and again, throwing our focus off more and more while we try and do
what we need. We trick the Spirals and we take them out...your son is safer for
it, Caroline. Michelle...you and Annette are safer. We trueborn don't have to
worry about as many casualties. We CAN stay focused." He doens't seem to
understand how he can make this clearer. "What's more, do you think we're just
going to let the Spirals get away once we've dealt with Magadon? Right now, we
know where they are now. Once Magadon's dealt with, they may run. And then they
become someone else's problem. Pass the buck all you want, guys. I won't let
some other Sept deal with our problem."
Lucien Bourikas: "The only thing that I
can truly understand is that a plan has been raised to go at them as a pack
would a much larger prey. Each finding a place to strike to weaken it so it can
be taken down."
Michelle (Rauko): *frowns, and moves like
if she tried to straightend herself, slowly looking around, fixedly, *
Shadow's Blissful Silence: He smiles up at
Lucien. "There. You have it. That is the plan."
Corbin Justice: "What about we focus now
on strategy for phase one?" he suggests quietly but firmly. "The investigation
of All Chem and Dr. Wagner. We need to let this last subject cool down for a
bit."
Michelle (Rauko): *well and she seems to
start going pail, as she gazes trying to look at herself, like if trying to find
something, before she frowns and forces to focus, try to see something around*
Lucien Bourikas: Again a slight nod to Bliss.
And for the Galliard to say anything that simply put is short of a miracle.
Michelle (Rauko): *shivering faintly*
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
You all ain't be fuckin listenin to us. What the
fuck we discussin this shit for anyway. Might as well just fuckin charge em
cavalry style. Think they ain't got 10 Fomor for each Spiral? Fuckin shit man!
We can take out Magadon's lab...take the Spirals after..we ain't know shit bout
them Spirals. Just be makin assumptions! Little bitch be fuckin handing out
candy! Tainted fuckin candy! What the fuck about that says they some kind o
security force for the lab.
Corbin Justice:
d10: p/a: 5,4,2,8,2,8,2,4,
Corbin Justice: He looks to Michelle.
Curious.
Dara: *she starts wavering the hand held
up in the air and clearing her throat, waiting still*
Caroline McGregor: You just don't listen Aerin.
You've decided that you're way is the best when most of the people here are
having serious reservations about your plan. You've forgotten that a good
portion of us have been here from the very beginning. We know what's going on.
We know what's going on ..we know what needs to be done...and yet..you won't
listen to us. If that's the case why should we be here talking at all? Why don't
you just tell us what we have to and we'll do it like good little soldiers?
*probably as frustrated as he is at the moment.*
Michelle (Rauko): *doesn't seem to be
noticing or looking at the people at least*
Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Let us try a
rough draft from the beginning. We begin at the beginning. We get maps, legal
documents, infiltration, information. Meanwhile we play some cat and mouse so
they think we're still helpless and confused. We set up our distractions. We hit
a supply truck. We kill a few Spirals. If we can we strike at the company
itself, money or government sanctions. If they are tainted they may be illegally
dumping toxins. We get them looking in al directions, run ragged by the strain
of knowing that we will come but not from where. And then we strike. Here the
flushing of the prey, here the crushing jaws on a foreleg, here a bite to the
shoulder, and at last here the snap of teeth and the spray of blood as we take
its throat."
Kelsey Horn (PB3): *She clears her throat a
bit.* Not to interupt but I think she has something to add. *She nods over at
Dara so the girl can get the recognition to speak she desires.*
The Rusty: [*Peers in*]
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
Yeah, hold up, lemme get Govenor Pataki on the
horn right now.
Lucien Bourikas: "To my way of thinking, even
if they aren't connected taking out a few Spirals is an excellent idea,
regardless." He looks to Jameel. "Because said little girl is not picking that
candy up from the five and dime, and knows exactly what it is. That means there
is some link back to the place it is produced - a supplier in the middle. Part
of the plan is to hit that middleman, part the one that makes it, and the other
the ones that give it out. Or am I mistaken?" He looks to Aerin.
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Caroline, if you'd
like, I can." He frowns deeply at her. "Because that's what anyone else WOULD
do. Why don't you go ask Gavin...rhya," he adds at the last, as if he forgot to,
"Or my Elder, Eyes-of-Hecate, how this works? Why don't you ask Hagen, or anyone
else? Usually, it goes they give orders, and you follow them. I'm listening. But
the fact that I'm arguing instead of telling you all what to do is not a luxury
you should be getting used to. The Leader Shall Not Be Challenged in Time of
War. This...is War." He looks to Dara. "Dara! Yes?"
Michelle (Rauko): *Winces, making a
tiny faint sound as she reaches again, to touch her face, then look at her hand,
and closes her eyes yet again, narrowing them, like if she was trying to focus
on something, moving slowy, with care, pressing her lips tightly*
Dara: *a flick of a smile to kelsey, hand
wavering in the air as she hums the jeopardy theme song under her breath*
Corbin Justice: He glances around. Five
Garou. Two Kinfolk. A Corax. He sighs and looks to Bliss. "With three of the
five Garou doing this being Cliath, and two Kinfolk, and Dara...the plan is, in
its way I'm sure, a masterful one, but completely impractical given what we have
standing here now. We cannot spread ourselves that thin and pull off miracles.
We are simply not that experienced, frankly."
Lucien Bourikas: Nods at Bliss, understanding
it easily in those terms. "Or legs, shoulder, tail and then throat.."
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: ((Insert the 'rhya' after eyes of Hecate, by the way. *Thuds*))
Caroline McGregor: *She just glares at him and
then turns and starts to walk away.*
Dara: *when aerin acknowledges her she
grins, nodding, hand lowering* love all the planning and the killing and
distractions and bang boom and stuff like that.,..but...how are we going to do
anything if we dont have the right information first?*tilting her head slightly*
so....shouldnt we focus on getting said information or somethin before we go tra
la la down all those other tangents?
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
Fuck dat! You gonna be commandin us to throw our
lives away, Mal ain't never gonna sign off on that shit! Gonna be throwin
kinfolk an a handful o us at an Army o Fomor. What the fuck good is that gonna
do? Fuck this shit, this ain't the mission Mal be lendin me to y'all to help
complete.
Corbin Justice: "Carrie and I are good on
the computer, Lucien is good at ferreting information, and Dara is from
reputation excellent at that as well. What are other strengths and resources we
can count on?"
Lucien Bourikas: "Corbin, we don't have to
spread out to accomplish it and make it look that we are as thin as we are. One
night we hit a truck, the next night you sit and type on that computer of yours
and perhaps another hacker cause something to happen, the next night a kin works
at a demonstration against dumping...all small things but things that will act
like little wounds and thorns in their sides." He looks to Aerin then, seeing
him begining to become frustrated and grows silent himself at the moment before
this discussion turns into a shouting match.
Corbin Justice: "Phase one," he says
tiredly, rubbing his temple. "I just want to start with phase one. Information.
Planning. Gathering."
Lucien Bourikas: Whispers to Corbin, "Hell,
just hacking into their power supply and causing the lights to click off... any
little thing to disrupt them."
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "I agree, Dara. The
information needs to be gotten. I agree with all of you who are saying
this...Corbin. Lucian. Kelsey. But for fuck's sake...Caroline. Jameel. Where
have I...you know what? You're speaking without listening yourselves. I'm going
to keep going. Anyone who thinks that their own indignation at being argued with
is enough to walk away from the fight? Go. Like Caroline. I'm being argued with.
But I'm staying. Now, let's get to information, like Corbin, Lucien, and Dara
have suggested."
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
Our arguin ain't gonna be gettin us all killed
Aerin-rhya. That be the difference plain to Corbin, me an Carrie..shit..I ain't
even smart an I see that.
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "And by fight, I mean
all of it. The Phasidol. The Fomorol. Magadon. The WYRM."
Caroline McGregor: *She stiffens when Aerin speaks
but keeps on walking away. She's had it with the entire conversation.*
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
Hack in, fuckers be findin us sendin 3 teams o 4
guys to wipe us out just for gatherin info from their computers. Y'all are loons
man..what the fuck? We be 10..whe got no idea what they holdin! No fuckin idea!
Corbin Justice: "I won't walk away," he
says quietly, though he wasn't addressed to do so. "But we have *got* to put
this argument over phase three aside, or we'll never get started at all."
Michelle (Rauko): *and she stares slowly
first to herself, letting out a ghap, nearly frightened, before her eyes move
painfully slowly to her side, and open wide, starting to show horror, before she
stares at some other point, she is deffintively shocked, as fear crips up,
swallows, and... well for her.... the yell that comes is seem rotten in her
troath with a mixture of sadness, fear and shock* DEAD.. They are all dead!!
*oddly how her voice too comes... weakened*
Lucien Bourikas: He remains where he is,
because in truth they are soldiers, and if Aerin gets tired of listening
to suggestions made in the form of bitching or arguing, then he'll just say go
do, and that's what they will do.
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Well, then, if you
have all the answers, Jameel, then you lead this fucking mission." That was a
growl, yes. "Until you decide to, I'm going to get with the start of working on
Phase One. Stay or go. Just stop arguing the fucking point."
Corbin Justice: Lucien: "And Jameel is
right about the hacking. Our first hacking mission, we barely got away. There's
no simple 'hacking' and I have no reason to think All Chem will be different."
Corbin Justice: He stares at Michelle.
Lucien Bourikas: He looks to Jameel, "I
didn't suggest doing it from our packhouse, but from public computers. I can
safely assume they already known entirely too much about us as it is but...." He
blinks, looking at Michelle, who never speaks. "What?"
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He looks over at
Michelle, blinking a couple of times. "Dead? Who?"
Shadow's Blissful Silence: His head snaps
to Michelle and he crawls toward her. "Who...who is dead...?"
Kelsey Horn (PB3): *She too stares at
Michelle*
Caroline McGregor: *Michelle's worse will give her
pause though and she turns slightly to look at the other kin.*
Dara: *dark green eyes sliiiiide over
towards michelle with a frown of concern*
Michelle (Rauko): *she doesn't really seem
to notice any of them, is staring in horror... `plain horror and fear, ahead,
then she seems to start following something, and kind of makes ot reach it...
shivering in pains seems, staring, shaking her head, reaching like if to take
something a hand or something* no...*that one muttered, frowning at soething her
head half moving at where AErin is.. not seeming to -really- listen*... it's
lost...*muttered, like she realisd* dead....*shaking her head*
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "What's lost...who's
dead, Michelle?" He comes up close to her, his hand reaching out to rest on her
shoulder.
Corbin Justice: Mumbles, "This is *so* not
a good omen."
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
*he moves to stand near Caroline. He whispers to
her quietly* Don't go Carrie..run off an leave me ere by meself..that ain't
cool. *he's joking it would seem, but it's not really funny*
Michelle (Rauko): *first yells... seeming
in pain when Aerin touches her, but she never -sees- him, her eyes widening, and
seeming trying to make an unhuman atempt to reach something* NOO!!! LEAVE THEM
ALONE!!! *she'll even trash, weakly, like if every movement was really agony*
Shadow's Blissful Silence: He slides his
hand under Michelle's, almost touching, puzzled. "What killed them?"
Lucien Bourikas: He jerks a plastic flexible
cup from his pocket, the type for camping and pops it out. "Corbin, go fill this
with water from the fountain for her."
Lucien Bourikas: He freezes then when
Michelle starts to thrash around, looking to Aerin to see if they should try to
hold her, or if they should even be touching her right now.
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Michelle...Michelle!"
He moves directly in front of Michelle, looking directly into her eyes. Dropping
to his knees in front of the kin. "Stay with me, hon...stay right here. Who?"
Shadow's Blissful Silence: He shrinks
back a little when Michelle flails, low to the ground, eyes on her. He looks
eeriely like a hunting cat about to pounce.
Corbin Justice: He takes the cup and heads
for the fountain. They need a Theurge.
Caroline McGregor: *She's watching Michelle,
concerned for the kin but she looks at Jameel a moment.* You should make sure
Michelle's alright.
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
Too many cooks..*he says quietly to Caroline*
Ain't gonna listen to Jameel anyway..Bone Gnawers, they ain't know shit.
Kelsey Horn (PB3): *She just stands back,
letting those that know the girl take care of her, watching with a concerned
frown.*
Caroline McGregor: *She squeezes his arm.* Hush now.
*She says gently, still watching, it probalby is best to stay
away...besides...she wants to know who's dead.*
Corbin Justice: He comes back quickly with
the water. As quickly as he can, anyway. "SPirit world? We should check."
Michelle (Rauko): *Is yet not seeing
Aerin, for as much as he seems to try her to, eyes staring at something she is
putting every fibber of herself into reaching, hell even impotent tears starting
to run down her eyes* ANETTE, TORI LEAVE ThEM!! Ewan! *her voice still trying to
yell, maybe just.... to stressed, like if she knew no one can come to help*
Shadow's Blissful Silence: [And decently
soon I have to run. I work far too soon to stay up until five am - awesome as
this scene is.]
Michelle (Rauko): ((*tries to tie Blis*hugs*))
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Check." That's an
order, given to whatever Trueborn will heed it. "Now." His eyes remain on
Michelle, kneeled in front of her, hands gently but firmly on her shoulders.
"Michelle...Anette, Tori, and Ewan are safe. I'm right here. Talk to me. Come
out of it...please."
Lucien Bourikas: He stops Corbin from
getting too close to Michelle, then looks to Aerin. "Who is with them now, are
not those the ones at your home?"
Caroline McGregor: *Her eyes widen when she hears
the children's name, alarm flooding at the sound of her son's, the hand on
Jameel's arm tightens painfully.*
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "No, they aren't,
Lucien...not all of them. They're in three separate places...one of them
protected in the middle of an incredibly strong Sept."
Corbin Justice: He tries to bypass
Lucien, enough to hand Aerin the water. "Lucien. Excuse me, please."
Corbin Justice: He steps sideways to check
after the glass is gone from his hand.
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
~those who move into the Penumbral shadow see
nothing out of the ordinary. Spirits abound in the center of the park, large
trees, flittering spirits of butterflies and white mice scurring through the
underbrush. It would seem that Michelle's second sight is not influence by any
spiritiual presence~
Dara: *brows furrowing, she looks to the
others, then looks about, finding a place to best slip sideways before doing so*
Michelle (Rauko): *Still sinked on it...
and still semeing every single breath and action is paining her, she'll just try
to reach, even if it seems without Aering she might not get to far, and wailing*
NO!!! *just trying to reach, desperatedly, with another look around herself* no
*is just really dispair* everyones gone.... *before she tries to focus and will
herslef to just TRY and reach*
Shadow's Blissful Silence: "They are not
at our home here. Tori is at our home sept, I would not imagine the Spirals have
gotten there. It is possible. Even if they have, it does not change wat we must
do, our actions must not be forced by grief or rage." There is a soft
undercurrent of horror in his voice at the thought of something happening to
Tori.
Lucien Bourikas: He slips sideways quietly.
Lucien Bourikas: (*Beats page to update
right*)
Lucien Bourikas: (Sorry about late post,
page stuck on me there) He comes back almost immediately and shakes his head to
Aerin. "Nothing out of the ordinary."
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "No one's gone,
Michelle." He tilts his head, to look in her eyes. "What's going on? What are
you seeing?"
Corbin Justice: He returns moments later,
with a shake of his head. "Everything is spiritually at peace there." WOuld have
like to have lingered, too.
Dara: *dara does the same as lucien when
she comes back, soft clicking coming from inside her mouth as she sighs softly*
Caroline McGregor: *Like hell they can't. She takes
a deep breath, forcing herself to stay still and hear the rest of Michelle's
vision.*
Corbin Justice: ((I have to be getting to
bed...))
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He finally takes the water from whoever has it now, looking at Michelle. A slight nod at Corbin and Lucien's words.
Caroline McGregor: (me toooooo!)
Michelle (Rauko): *she is shaking and
shivering seems with some cold, her atempts to try and reach becoming less and
less strongh as her reaching hand seems to start to loos strengh, she actually
looks more then desperate as the strengh leaves her body slowly but surely...
untill she slumps, her breathing even stoping*
Corbin Justice: ((Corbin will stay to make
sure Michelle is alright, then leave. Thanks for the scene, KF! had fun.))
Michelle (Rauko): ((me too!!)) *
Shadow's Blissful Silence: He looks up and
takes a deep breath. "Caroline, for the sake of...the child...you know however
much I hate you I would protect Stephen's son...do not simply run to him. If
this is somehow a trick they could be hoping to follow you to him and take him
that way. Please...be careful." He pitches his voice just loud enough to carry
over Michelle.
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
(alright, we'll schedule something else soon.
Thanks for playing those who must flee)
Lucien Bourikas: (Corbin gave the water to
Lucien, who sat it on the ground at Aerin's order)
Lucien Bourikas: (*hugs* Talk to ya in a few
days, take care)
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: ((Then can please have
Michelle explain the point of the sudden vision, so we can finish up the scene?
I don't want to pause this one, but everyone needs to go soon.))
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
You're a real asshole. *he says to Bliss*
Michelle (Rauko): *Before she sharply
starts breathing again, she is though covered in cold sweat, her body, every
inch seeming far to cold, her body taken by tremblors, before her eyes snap open
again, seeaking around still with most of the dispair and horror, before they
fall on Aerin, and stare, and double check.... before temptatively actualy
reaching to touch him* you are alife....
Michelle (Rauko) -> Aerin Thomas [PB 3]:
((I was typping as fast me could *huggie*))
Shadow's Blissful Silence: "She was my
brother's mate, before she took their son and abandoned him. Anyway, you're such
a walk in the park, ne, sugarplum?" There is a very slight pause before he adds,
"And if I said nothing and the boy died, that would have been creul. Offering
her that warning was nothing near as petty as you would make it."
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
Whatever man. Think whatever you want. I know
Carrie.
Dara: *she just keeps sitting there
watching and listening to whats going on with michelle*
Caroline McGregor: *She looks at Bliss like he has
three heads.* you just have no....*she shakes her head, totally unable to
speak.*
Kelsey Horn (PB3): *Is doing about the
same as Dara, listening to the others as well.*
Lucien Bourikas: He throws a glare at the
other two men, but stays near Aerin, watching him and Michelle
Caroline McGregor: *Her eyes widen.* I didn't
abandon him..I didn't take Evan. Stephen left us. He couldn't handle being a
father..he couldn't handle being a mate. How could he have ever said....*for the
first time in a long time she's actually in tears and she just turns and runs
away.*
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
Carrie! *he shouts but he just lets her go. Ain't
nuthin a Gnawer can say to comfort her anyway. He slumps a bit dejectadly*
Shadow's Blissful Silence: "This isn't
about what I think of Carrie, this is about saving a child. You're trying to
turn this into something it isn't. I don't like Carrie. Whatever. She is kin and
therefore entitled to my protection, whatever I think of her. Unless or until
she betrays Gaia, she is family to me. If you cannot comprehend that your
personal feelings, whatever they are come second to the fate of your people and
your world it is you who are less for that."
Shadow's Blissful Silence: He blinks after
Carrie. That was unexpected. He looks faintly regretful, but then when he looks
back to Jameel he's all cold again.
Jameel Walker ~Walkman~:
*he shrugs* Whatever dude, that's cool, you're
dark and mysterious. I get it.
Kelsey Horn (PB3): *She watches Caroline run
off, then looks at Bliss, then at the others, er...*
Michelle (Rauko): *her eyes move faintly
on towards the sound of 'yellings' and outburst, tensing yet again, her eyes
scannign like if she was seeking danger, and rather grabbing onto Aerin now* ((hummm.....
))*for her oddly staring at him, murmuring tense* youwhere there.. theywere all
death.. eveyone! I knowIwasdying.. they..ithadthechildren...shelaughed...
theyhadit...something about a cycleclosed
Michelle (Rauko): ((*pokes for
Ravyn...*whimper*))
Shadow's Blissful Silence:
"I'm...yeah...you figured me out. Dark. Mysterious. I wear sunglasses at night.
It's hardcore. You win. Will you stop trying to have a this arguement now,
please?"
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He sighs and grabs
Michelle, hugging her close, and looks to Jameel. "Go. Now. Bliss, we're taking
Michelle home."
Dara: *sighing deeply, rolling her eyes ,
she flops back onto the ground and flicks a glance over to kelsey, raising a
brow, then looks about at the others*
Shadow's Blissful Silence: He nods to
Aerin. "You've got her? I'll carry her...."
Michelle (Rauko): *she is not going to
refuse or move away, she actually seems to grab onto Aerin, after looking for
the Moon, like if she wanted to make something sure, before really, just
burrying herself agasit Aerin*
Lucien Bourikas: He doesn't ask if the
meeting is over, that is obvious. He gives Aerin a nod, "If I can be of service,
let me know, Rhya. I hope she will be alright."
Kelsey Horn (PB3): *She scratches the back of
her head and shrugs back at Dara, then looks over at Aerin and co.*
Um...hey...you, uh, got this or you need help or somethin'?
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "I've got her." He
nods to Lucien, simple acknowledgment of his words, and rises, cradling Michelle
in his arms. "Let's go. Kelsey, can you come with us, if you don't mind? Dara,
you can too if you like."
Shadow's Blissful Silence: [But the Fox
is leaving to sleep! *flops* So tired....] He leaves with Aerin, finally just
quiet.
Dara: *sitting up, blinking when shes
included, she nods* um....kay....sure...*moving to get up and gather her pack
over her shoulder, a gummyworm hanging partway from her mouth*
Kelsey Horn (PB3): *She nods.* Yeah
sure...*She hikes the backpack up and follows along.*
Michelle (Rauko): *She is not moving much
more, for the first time in her live having -this- reaction of caring after
spurting things like she did, she seems to be grabbing onto it tightly...staying
very still in Aerin's arms*
Lucien Bourikas: He nudges Corbin, and since
they are not leaving they make their goodbyes and start to leave.
Lucien Bourikas: (leaving=needed)
Lucien Bourikas: (Is this site going crazy
for anyone but me?)
Michelle (Rauko): ((is ok with me Lucien-p
=)*hugs*kicks it once or twice ))
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He nods and makes his
way to the street. Thankful he brought his car this time.
Lucien Bourikas: (Thanks for the scene :)
Michelle (Rauko): ((thank you all too *huglez
tightly about*))
Kelsey Horn (PB3): ((Funfun *hugs about*))
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: ((Sorry, guys. We
wanna continue now, and pause when Kittie has to go (then resume), or just wait
until she gets back?))
Dara: (tis up to you*shrugs*)
Kelsey Horn (PB3): ((Either or...Just waiting
for other scene to die, then I'll go with fast food so I can get back faster))
Dara: (Ive got about two hours before I
have to take husband to work if that helps decision any)
Kelsey Horn (PB3): ((Mmm...looks like other
scene's about over. Gonna dash, get FM and food and be back asap.))
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: ((Let's go ahead and
start it now. Off to MT Residence?
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: ((Or wait. *G*))
Kelsey Horn (PB3): ((*runs*))
Dara: (lets head to mt res to wait*nods*)
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: ((On my way))
