[Day: Friday, March 26th. Time: 1:30 a.m.] [Weather: It's night time, cloudy, and cold.] [You were ghosts up until a very few minutes ago, when Satoshi saved you! Yay! Kyoko drank from the Cup and has since passed out, allowing you to return to the normal world. Remi's lying on the floor unconscious and pretty beat up. Satoshi related most of what happened to you, then decided he couldn't keep his eyes open any longer and headed home.] [Saki's still there, though. And technically Taki's got the Cup.] [Session Start!] * Haruko nods as she finishes working on Saki. "Thank you again." She removes her hand and then walks over to Remi, carefuly crouching next to her, and gingerly reaching over. "Remi, I'm going to heal you now, alright?" * Taki sits on the couch and looks at The Cup where she put it on Kyon's table. (And thinks angry thoughts at her player for being anel about not reading logs as she now supposedly knows things he doesn't >_>#) [Remi would refuse if she were awake.] * Kaede sighs and looks over at Remi, shaking his head and crawling over the floor over to her, tapping her cheek lightly with the back of his hand. "Hey. Wake up." * Haruko gently puts her hands on Remi and starts without consent, as she's still down, she keeps in a crouch though, ready to leap away if need be. * Saki folds her arms and leans against the nearest convenient wall. "Glad that's over." * Kaede flops backwards, knees slightly bent and sighs again, adjusting his glasses. "This is such a mess..." ( But you are out cold remi, you are!) * Haruko doesn't show any reaction to Kaede's comment as she works. * Katie is seated and checking everything to make sure it came with her. "Yeah. So..." She takes a breath. "Isao died to save us?" ( Apparently, neither does anyone else :P ) Yeah, that pretty much covers it. * Taki continues to stare. (Think Satoshi told us about his past life thing? I doubt it. ^^) * Kyon shakes his head quickly. "How can you die if you're already dead?" * Haruko speaks in a pretty uneven tone. "He was still existing, he isn't anymore, he sacrificed himself." * Kaede pulls himself up slowly, grunting a little as he does. "Akemi's still in the Tower then, isn't she?" ( Hmm... Better assume not. ) Probably. Didn't look in any shape to go anywhere * Haruko for the record, had cried for a while after hearing about Isao, she didn't say much about it though, I figure he'd have skimped on the details. ( Reading over this.... Hmm... Kate said only to mention Akemi and Matthias were in the Tower. ) * Katie plays with her pencils. "We could thank her. I- is she in the reversed part?" ( So assume Satoshi didn't go into detail. ) * Taki blinks and looks up from The Cup. * Kaede dusts his pants off, speaking casually. "Well, we can't just leave them there." Nah. She came back with us. * Haruko nods. "I'll be done with Remi in a minunte or so, then we should go see her. Well I'm going. Someone watch over Remi..or something... * Kaede adds under his breath. "The idiot..." * Kyon nods quickly. "Should go take care of them. I'll take care of stuff here. Make sure Kyoko's OK, take psychotic ice girl back to her happy place, and then catch up with you there." * Taki nods absently. * Saki looks sideways at Taki. "Hey, I'm gonna need that back. Dude said for me to carry it." I'll go to the tower, Akemi may need me. * Kaede sighs and turns to Kyon. "I'd hate to trouble you, Kyon..." * Katie looks at Kyon, then the others. "I-" She blinks. "I'll stay here. It's okay." I...don't want it...after what Remi did...You do? * Kaede blinks and turns to Katie. "You will?" * Taki shivers. * Haruko looks oddly at Saki for a moment and then nods. * Kyon shrugs disinterestedly. "No trouble. She may have gone insane, but we still needed her. Least I can do." * Katie takes a slightly shaky breath, then nods. "Yeah." * Saki shrugs. "Don't really care, actually." * Kaede sighs. "Cup probably does that to you. I'd hate to see what'll happen when I need to use the Pentacle..." * Kaede then looks at Katie. "But..I--huh." * Haruko adds softly. "I hope that was the cup.." She then speaks up. "Saki is probably the best able to defend it...." Um...well...okay...um...thanks. * Katie blinks at Kaede. "What?" * Saki raises an eyebrow. "'When'? Sounds like you're expecting to get a hold of it." Um, it's nothing. * Katie frowns a little. "What is it, Kaede?" * Haruko then stands up. "Done." She then walks over and gives Katie a brief hug. * Kaede looks at Saki. "Well, we've seen it before. And I suspect that we'll have to end up using it sometime or another." * Katie jumps a little, but hugs back. * Kaede sighs. "And at this rate, it's most likely going to be me that ends up using it. I just know it." * Haruko then quickly gets out of the way between Katie and Kaede. "If you need us, call us." * Saki half-smiles. "Or maybe you just want to see what it does." If you're in a field, that's pointless. * Taki rubs her eyes, "it drove Reiji insane..." * Kaede blinks at Saki. "Wha--no...well...maybe I'm a little curious. But still..." I won't be in a field all night. * Kaede then pushes his glasses up and addresses Taki. "Reiji wasn't a Pentacle." * Katie shrugs a little. She looks down at Remi. * Taki looks at Kaede, "And Remi was a Cup." Alright, we can talk when we're there. ::she looks over to Taki:: Can you take us. * Kaede doesn't have an answer to that. But the look on his face kind of suspects that it's crossed his mind. * Taki doesn't look away from Kaede, but nods. * Kaede then turns away from Katie and nods to Haruko. "Let's go then?" * Haruko takes Taki's hand. "I'm ready." * Katie gets out of the way. * Taki uses Haruko's hand to pull herself to her feet, "Kaede? Saki?" * Saki shakes her head. "Nah. Think I'll go find a bar or something instead." Thanks again for the help, Saki. Goodbye Saki, thank you. * Kaede goes over near Taki and nods, squinting his eyes just a bit. * Taki reaches over with her free hand and touches Kaede's shoulder, "We'll be back soon." 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6-3) and gets 2. * Kyon nods tersely to Saki. "Right. If you need anything from me, just ask." ( Did Taki ever give Saki the Cup? :P ) ( Just your eternal soul. No big deal.) (She left it on the table) [At any rate... You're outside Tokyo Tower!] * Haruko casually dons glves and heads in. [The door seems to be unlocked] * Kaede looks around for a second, frowning at the Tower for a second and then heads in after Haruko. * Taki wobbles for a bit and then follows Haruko in. * Kaede then looks at Haruko and looks like he's starting to ask what she's doing but just before he does, stops himself and instead says, "...dear god, you're trying to hide your fingerprints, aren't you?" * Haruko holds the door to let the others in, then goes to hit the down button. * Haruko looks at Kaede. "The police already told me they may want a later interview, I don't want to make this any worse than it is already. It's not that...it's just...why would you even PREPARE yourself for this sort of thing? [The elevator doesn't move!] * Kaede steps in the elevator too. * Haruko shrugs. "Would you prefer I be less practical?" * Taki stifles a yawn as she follows the others into the unmoving elevator. * Kaede rubs his forehead. "Honestly, I don't think it'd really matter...but do what you wish." * Haruko nods and gets in. * Taki waits. * Kaede looks for a second, then at Haruko. "Did you touch the button?" He tries it himself. * Haruko blinks and shrugs noncommitally. * Taki yawns again, "Maybe I'll skip school today....snot like I've got a perfect attendance record to defend.." You know, you don't have to stay if you don't want to. Nah...told Katie I was gonna come back withya...Gotta do something I said today. * Haruko nods. "If you're sure, I don't want to hurt your grades anymore than Arcana stuff already has." * Taki nearly giggles, "Actauly my grades have gone up." * Haruko does giggle. "You're amazing." * Kaede rolls his eyes and presses the button again. "What's taking so long?" * Taki thinks for a bit, "...Turned off for the night?" * Haruko checks over the elevator for any obvious signs as to why it isn't working. If it were, how'd Satoshi get down there? Guess not then. * Haruko blinks. "Nothing mechanically wrong, my next move would be to look for a the power switches." I wonder where those would be? * Kaede looks around for any signs of power to the elevator or such. * Taki nods a bit, "behind a panel or something?" (or any sign that the place has power at all of course) * Haruko heads out of the elevator and looks around. "Probably elsewhere in the building, behind a 'no tourists' door." * Haruko looks around for such a thing. [Haruko can't see much. It's kinda dark in here.] * Taki follows Haruko as far as the door to the elevator and does her own looking about. * Haruko sighs. "Should have brought a flashlight." She then stands by a wall, putting a glove hand on it, and cautiously walking in search of a door. * Kaede searches for a lightswitch in the meantime. ( Gimme hearing checks. ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (2d6) and gets 8. * Taki stands in the doorway and tries to stay awake. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6) and gets 7. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6) and gets 3. [Kaede hears a noise!] * Kaede turns towards the noise and starts making his way carefully towards it. * Haruko keeps moving along the wall, quite oblvious. * Taki leans on the doorframe and continues to slowly loose the fight against sleep. ( Kaede, gimme another hearing check! ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6) and gets 9. * Haruko speaks as she moves along. "Would you have the energy to power it, if this proves to be trickey?" * Kaede puts his fingers to his lips and shsshes harshly, speaking up in a harsh whisper. "Someone's here." * Taki blinks a few times and shakes her head, "Mhm?" * Haruko mouths but does not speak an "Oh." And she crouches down and moves back towards Taki. I swore I heard something... * Taki stand up and looks out into the darkness. [A voice from near Kaede says, "So, you gonna shut it off?"] * Haruko whispers. "I've reached you again Taki." * Haruko then checks her cell phone to see if it is working. * Kaede blinks and turns towards the voice. "Shut what off?" * Taki starts and then looks twords the sound of Haruko's voice. [Kaede sees nothing. It's too dark!] * Kaede tries to get as good a look as he can in the darkness, narrowing his eyes. "If it's a field, I didn't cause it." [The voice says from near Haruko: "Well, someone did."] * Haruko blinks and looks over to the voice. "I don't believe it is one of us, and I'm not sure if we've met, my name is Haruko, what may I call you?" * Taki looks twords another patch of darkness, "I" -yawn- "...jus teleport." * Kaede blinks and then looks at Haruko's general direction. "Do you think Akemi might still be generating?" (great Taki's sleepyness is rubbing off in me z_z) [The voice from near Taki says, "Heh. Suit yourself."] She might be, we should get down tehre, are you up to it? If it's the only way...I wonder if I could get some lights on too but...eh, probably too much effort. * Taki whirls to look at where the voice is coming from now and nearly looses her balance, "Whu...I try." * Kaede walks over towards the elevator slowly. * Haruko nods. "Save your energy, no more than necessary. And stranger, could you please tell us your name?" He hasn't killed us yet. That's good enough for me. * Kaede rolls up his sleeve and puts his palm against the panel of the elevator, concentrating to put some juice into it. * Haruko helps Taki into the elevator. The voice sighs. "Eh... You don't compare to her. Sorry gals. Oh, call me Toshiki. We'll go right to a first name basis, eh?" * Saki is now known as Toshiki * Taki is helped in. Compare to her? Who? * Kaede glances towards the voice for a moment but keeps his hand and most his concentration on the panel. And I'm guessing by that statement that you can see in this darkness. * Haruko nods. "Akemi." She then continues in a bemused tone. She continues conversationally, "Quite true, I hope to never have to compete with her for a guy." * Toshiki chuckles, from all the way across the room. "The hot chick. Managed to follow her and the ugly guy this far, but then I lost her. Can you believe it?" He sighs. "Damn the luck." * Kaede sighs. "Deranged fan?" * Taki nods slightly, "I'm Taki, nice to meet you, I think." * Kaede turns back to the panel. "The pity is that she'll probably adore the attention." Hm? Oh, no. Not that little traitorous bitch. * Haruko gulps. "Stop Kaede." * Kaede snaps his hand away from the panel and whirls towards the voice, breaking his concentration. "WHAT?" * Taki blinks for a bit, "...Saki?" [There's a snapping sound. "Yeah, that was it! Damn, she was hot."] ... * Kaede narrows his eyes at the darkness. "She's not here." Ya think? No. I know. * Taki nods, "She is...dun wanto get her mad though." * Haruko nods. "She's bar hopping. But Taki's right." If our friend here is calling her a "traitorous little bitch", I don't think he cares much. (Here's hoping she doesn't decide to take a swig out of the Cup) I think he meant Akemi. * Kaede tips his head to the side. "I was wondering about that." Oh well, I'll find her later. Either way... You're all Arcana, aren't you? Maybe. Could be a weak field and we just happen to know more than ordinary people. * Toshiki laughs. "I bet." * Taki nods. * Kaede folds his arms over his chest. "Why are you following Akemi and Saki?" I happen to be the Queen of Cups, which are you? ::her voice has a bit of friendly bravado, Taki and Kaede might see through it:: You one of my court? Hmph. It's got nothing to do with Akemi. But I think Saki has stolen my heart. * Taki nods, "Good luck on 'at." * Kaede points towards the general direction of the doorway. "Well, she's out there somewhere. Why don't you try to get her phone number?" I'll do that later. Why? I don't think we've any business to discuss. Nah, we kinda do. So, which one are you, assuming your an Arcana and not just a very well informed person with nightvision goggles. One sec, gal. * Haruko bites her lip at that and digs through her bag in the dark. Wassat? * Haruko nods and responds chipperly. "Waiting..." She keeps digging for her water bottle. * Kaede sighs and leans against the elevator doorframe. "Well, make it quick." 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6) and gets 12, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "Some things just aren't meant to be." [A black shape dashes out of the shroud of darkness, and suddenly Kaede finds himself not leaning against the elevator frame so much as pressed up against it, with a hand around his neck. He's lifted a good foot off the ground before he even knows what's happening.] Now ya see, I know you're Arcana. At least one of you. * Kaede blinks and growls, putting his hands to the wrist, gritting his teeth. "Yeah? So?" * Taki doesn't react for nearly an entire second after Kaede is grabbed, "Wha...Kaede!" * Haruko gasps and gets out her water bottle, quickly opening it. * Toshiki lifts Kaede higher. "And being the arrogant ass you are, I figure it's you. Not that I can blame you for that, but you should really know who you're dealing with before you start throwing your weight around. Ya hear?" What--weight? I didn't do a damned thing to you. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6-2) and gets 8. (And MAS raises it's ughly head again) * Toshiki flings Kaede into the lobby. "Or someone'll start throwing your weight around for you." Kaede lands hard on the floor. Kaede! * Kaede winces as he lands, then grits his teeth, trying to pull himself up. "I told you. I didn't cause the damned field! I don't even know how I'd even start!" * Haruko bows a little and speaks in a very controlled voice. "We've had a rather long day and are a tad testy as a result, I apologize if our politeness was less than ideal, for we are concerned about our friend." (amizing how he doesn't listen, Taki's admited to having powers and Haruko outright told him what card she is) * Haruko keeps the water bottle out as she moves over to Kaede and gently puts a hand on his chest. (Well, Taki could just have teleporter technology. :P) * Kaede brushes her hand away. "Later." He stands up and points at the guy. "First, I want to know what the hell your beef is with Shiraishi." * Taki tries to edge along the wall out of the elevator and around to where Kaede is. * Haruko blinks at the name, and then says quietly but urgently in Kaede's direction. "I'll leave this to you, just remember Akemi is our priority." * Toshiki moves forwards a bit. You still can't really see him. "Her? She's a freakin' spy for Matthias!" So I'm guessing you're not with him? And you're not either. That's easy enough to see. * Taki nods a bit, "They do kinda go to the same school don't they?" No, we're not. But that still doesn't tell what's so wrong about him. We've been forced to work with him before, so before you go beating me up without cause, why not tell me what's so wrong about Matthias?" * Haruko maintains an even emotionless look. * Taki keeps with the sleepy, confused and a bit angry, it's done wonders so far tonight. Maybe that he tries to control everybody? Does he succeed all the time? * Haruko anxiously shifts her weight from one foot to another. If he only succeeds some of the time, it's okay? Mhmm.....No? Depends on the type of control, doesn't it? Does he exploit people? Brain wash them? Drug them? Control their minds? Anything like that? * Toshiki waits for a second, then starts towards Kaede. "I knew there was a reason I didn't like you." ( Roll init! ) d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (d6+6) and gets 7. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (d6+7) and gets 8. d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (d6+6) and gets 12. [Order: Haruko, Toshiki, Taki, Kaede.] [Haruko's turn!] ( Oh, note that most actions are at a +2 ) ( 'Cause it's dark. ) * Haruko collapses into a puddle, her clothes landing on top of her. Frag me once, shame on you, frag me twice, shame on me. [Toshiki's turn!] 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6) and gets 6. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6) and gets 7. * Toshiki picks up Kaede again. "I'm gonna tell you this once." He tosses Kaede against the wall. "You don't interfere with the Jackals, drugs or not!" [Taki's turn!] * Taki yells at anybody who might care to listen, "Why can't anything go right today!?" as she runs at Toshiki and tries to punch him. 2d6+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6-1) and gets 5. [Taki punches Toshiki! Who takes a few steps back, then laughs. "Alright! This is what I've been waiting for!"] [Kaede's turn!] * Haruko calls from the ground. "Please, I know Akito, we mean no harrrm to you. Please, you know my name and my card, I will make amends to him if we have wrrronged your grrroup." * Kaede staggers and stands up, spitting out a little blood and wiping his mouth. "Taki, stop it! We didn't come here to fight. We just wanted to check on a friend. I don't give a damn about your in-fighting." [Haruko's turn!] * Taki nods ever so slightly. * Haruko speaks her line, putting emphasis on Akito, and tries to form a water shield to protect Taki's face as best she can. [Toshiki's tuna. I mean turn.] ( Your shield sucks Haruko :P ) (;_;) * Toshiki laughs aloud, pulling out something from behind his back. "Maybe you didn't come here for a fight." You can't tell what with the lack of light and all, but it looks like a long object, he holds with two hands like a hockey- stick. "But I did." [Taki's turn!] * Taki grumbles and teleports next to where Kaede, "If it's a fight you want, it's fight you're not going to get." 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6-1) and gets 3. * Haruko says quietly but urgently. "Kaede, can you powerrr it fast?" [Taki winds up near Kaede. Kaede's turn!] (Is he still near the elevator?) ( No. He's all the way across the room. ) (That's what I thought. :P) ( Missed that. Well, we're in the dark, Haruko didn't know. :P) * Kaede starts searching the wall with his palms against it, cursing under his breath. "Well, if we have to deal with you, we're at least going to see you." He starts edging along the wall looking for a light switch or socket to power. [Haruko's turn!] * Haruko lets her shield drop, as she has no idea where anyone is. [Hold turn] 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6+2) and gets 8. (lets try for the DR) 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6+2) and gets 10. [*CRACK!* The man swings whatever it is hard, connecting the blow with Taki's stomach. The force is strong enough to lift her off the ground.] I must admit, I was hoping to fight that hot girl tonight. I know she'd give me what I was looking for. You guys just aren't doing it for me. * Taki falls back to the ground with a small omph and and then starts gasping to get her wind back. [Taki's turn!] * Haruko calls out. "Ooh no! What's happened?" * Taki struggles to her feet, with her eyes tearing up, but since it's dark nobody can see them. [Kaede's turn!] * Kaede edges along the wall, still searching for that elusive lightswitch or socket. "And what exactly are you looking for?" * Haruko calls out angrily, "He's looking forrr a fight. And wasting his time, we won't give you satisfaction, go find Saki if that's what you want." 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6+2) and gets 10. [Haruko's turn!] * Haruko calls out. "We can do this all night, come forrr me if you can, but it won't be any morrre fun!" (full defense and aod) (How can she distract if she can't be seen? ^^;) (Voice!) [Toshiki's turn!] (And she can be, by him. :P) (Haruko needs "Who wants some Wang!?") * Toshiki charges for Haruko. "You got it, babe." He swings the whatever it is.] (Unless theres' something she hasn't been telling us she has no Wang to give :P) 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (2d6-3) and gets 8. (dr) 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (2d6-3) and gets 3. * Kaede curses under his breath as Haruko draws attention to herself, muttering (also under breath). "..idiot. You know you can't heal yourself..." [Haruko does not get unpuddlized.] [Taki's turn!] * Haruko skirts around the bottom of the edge of the elevator floor, slightly impact tremoring at the impact of the thing on the dry section of floor where she was. * Taki does her best to follow Kaede along the wall, and stays mostly quite, it's been a long time since she's gotten hurt. See! Borrring. We arrre skilled, but we don't prrrovide an enjoyable fight. [Kaede's turn!] * Kaede keeps searching, keeping a general eye towards Haruko's voice. Come on, find the stupid thing. 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6+2) and gets 9. [Haruko's turn!] * Haruko moves around near the puddle she left before, providing a wider but less Haruko per galleon target. "Don't you have betterrr ways of spending yourrr time, I've alrrready apologized." [full defense] [Toshiki's turn] (And still AoD) * Toshiki swings at Haruko again. "Can't think of anything I'd rather do. Except fight her, maybe." 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (2d6-3) and gets 6. (did any of us ever snag Saki's phone number?) ( I dunno. I don't think so. ) (didn't think so either) (If Kyon had it, Kaede might have "borrowed" it. ^^; Other than that, I don't know.) (And then Haruko would have it from the phone synch) ( I don't think so. ) ( Okay, well, let's think no) [At any rate! Part of Haruko gets splattered against the wall.] [Oh, Taki's turn] * Taki keeps one hand covering her midsection and seems to have caught her breath becasue she speaks now,"Kaede...we're going to have ta fight him 'r run...isn't something can just letchreself get beaten up on. C'nt do it myself." [Kaede's turn!] * Haruko grunts. "Look, you win, she's at prrrobably edge of town, godawful greasy gaijin food that she likes, prrrobably a half dozen guys if you want a norrrmal dirrrty fight to, just don't hurrt theirrr bikes." * Kaede scowls to Taki. "What the hell makes you think I *want* to get beaten up? I didn't even want to get into this in the first place. But I'm not leaving Shiraishi-san down there when there's this guy up here who thinks she's a traitor." He keeps searching for the light switch, grumbling. "Can't fight what we can't see at any rate." 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6+2) and gets 7. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6) and gets 7. [The lights flicker on! The man is about average height and build, with very short dyed blond hair, combed forwards. He's got two earrings in his right ear, and is wearing black baggy cargo pants with lots of pockets and a sleeveless blue shirt. He wears spiked bracelets and tight grey gloves. His eyes are yellow, slit like a cat's, and his grin is wide, like he's really enjoying this. As for his weapon, it's a staff made of glass, or if not that some sort of transparent material. What's more, at the head it opens up around a red sphere... a sphere that isn't actually attached to the staff but floating above it somehow. It's eerie.] [Haruko's turn!] * Taki blinks and rubs her eyes, "Think I liked him better in the dark." * Kaede looks over at the guy and just...sighs. "As if this weren't bad enough.." He lowers his voice and whispers to Taki. "Now that you can see it, can you teleport us inside the elevator?" * Haruko tries to minimize her size as a puddle and elevates the actual water so that it floats as a shield just above her core. "I didn't want you to actually find herrr and get hurrrt, but if you'rrre so insistant go, challenge Saki." [In simple terms. Haruko ducks under her own water shield] * Taki snorts and grins and halfwhispers back, "could do that before." * Kaede curses. "Why didn't you say so?" He sighs and looks back at Toshiki. "At least we know what he looks like now." * Toshiki smirks. "Huh. That's exactly what I want. If they can't hurt me, what's the point of fighting them?" Then he takes a swing at Haruko. "Unless, of course, I just don't like 'em." (Great it's a Battle High reject who wants to gain CP) [The attack doesn't penetrate Haruko's water shield.] [Taki's turn!] Iz just that you never asked...and you'n Hruko were too far 'part anyway. * Taki grabs Kaede and attempts to teleport into the elevator. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6-3) and gets 0. (Yeah, that's it dicy give me the good rolls when I don't need them.) So, I'm just not hot enough for you? Not polite enough? Too polite? What's yourrr carrrd jerrrk? Orrr you afrrraid to tell me? [Taki teleports to the elevator.] [Kaede's turn!] * Kaede puts his hand on the elevator panel and starts to channel energy into it, yelling out. "Haruko, get in!" He tries to get the elevator up and running and as soon as Haruko gets in and he feels the energy, jams his finger on the "close door" button. * Haruko gets in. [Full defense] [Now the elevator decides to move! Toshiki smirks as the doors close. "I'm the Seven of Wands. Don't forget it. Hell, I'll make sure you don't."] ( I'll write you a post it!) * Taki slumps against the back wall of the elevator, and then slides to the floor, "wakemupwhenbottom." * Kaede sighs and lets out his breath, slumping back a little. "Why do we always manage to encounter the idiots?" He takes off his coat one-handed and puts it on the puddle that is Haruko. [Shortly thereafter, you're in the Tower Reversed. Akemi and Matthias are both there; Akemi's in a revealing sparkling red dress, passed out on the couch. Matthias is lying in a chair across from her. Both of them have dried blood flaking the skin beneath their nostrils.] (Tokyo Tower has couches?) * Kaede blinks as the doors open and rushes out. "Hell, Akemi! Are you alright?" * Haruko reforms in Kaede's jacket, covering herself as best she can as she runs to Akemi first. * Taki catches up on lost sleep. [Akemi is KO. And the lobby has a couch.] * Kaede gets up to her and grasps her by the shoulders, trying to shake her a little. "Hey. Hey, wake up." * Haruko rushes over to check on Matthais, figuring he's the one still keeping up the field. [Mathhias is also KO, and Akemi mumbles a bit, but doesn't get up.] * Haruko tries to rouse Matthais and figure out what her first priority is, medically speaking. * Kaede keeps shaking her a little. "Hey, at least tell me you're alright. Akemi, you hear me?" C'mon Matthais, get up, it's over. [Akemi mumbles something that sounds like "Mine'r bigger."] * Kaede just stops shaking her and blinks at her. "...what?" * Haruko smiles faintly. "Sounds like she'll be alright." ( Obviously, she's dreaming about Yvonne. ) * Kaede lets go and slumps back on his knees, just staring blankly over the top of Akemi. Not at Akemi's top, just so we're clear on that. (But Akemi's top is so stare-worthy, it's like you're insulting it by not looking. And you don't want to insult Akemi do you? :P) (I think she'd want him staring fully, not blankly. ^^;) * Haruko puts a hand on Matthais's forehead. "I think they'll be alright, they're in stable condition, and I can heal both. I'm going to start with Matthais, because I think if Akemi's talking she's in better shape of the two." ...yeah. I guess I'll help her home. * Haruko calls out in a loud but not all that cutting tone. "Taki, wake up, not safe to sleep in the elevator. Please bring my stuff in with you." * Haruko nods. "We'll get them healed as best I can in here than make sure they get home." * Kaede breathes a sigh of relief. "Good." * Taki raises her head and looks out,"Mhm? ...Oh right...stuff." * Taki stands up again and picks Haruko's clothes and bag up off the floor. * Kaede keeps looking over Akemi. [Session End]
