[Day: Wednsday, March 31st. Time: 4:30 p.m.] [Weather: Rainy rainy rainy day.] (Could have Taki phone in after waking up, or somebody else call and wake her up) [You're at Yushiro's house it's a small house on a road with very little by way of a yard. It looks like pretty much every other house on the road. No wonder Soleil had a hard time finding it. The current situation is that Yushiro is agitated and Satoshi's hand is pegged to his front door with a switchblade. Ow.] [Session Start!] * Satoshi nngs and grabs at his hand. * Yushiro growls again, particularly at Satoshi, who's keeping his door open. "Leave. Now!" * Haruko falls back, dropping to liquid form. [Haruko's uniform gets soaked >.>] (How can I leave when my freaking hand is attached to your door? ;p) * Katie stares at the phone, dialing the police with shaky hands. (She has on her Miko outfit under her jacket. :P) (Wasn't it already soaked? Rain, y'know?) ( Yeah :P ) [Katie gets static!] * Kaede has his wrench out, glaring at Yushiro. "After you just attacked us?" ~FIELD!~ You don't know when to quit. (His mental voice sounds very pained, by the way.) Tssh...figures. You're too cowardly to face up to your actions? * Kyon drops his bag and unzips it, pulling out his sword. He smirks. "You don't know who to start with." * Satoshi grabs the knife and yanks it out. Blood probably gets all over Yushiro's door. "And this is supposed to *help* your case? You're a goddamned nutcase!" * Yushiro makes another jab at Satoshi's hand. * Haruko then starts to ready the shield between Satoshi and Yushiro. "Why'd you beat them you wrrretch? Sending a message? Just forrr fun?" * Haruko had been starting to get the water ready before, and it's raining so should be protecting Satoshi quite quickly. * Kaede rushes forward towards Yushiro, trying to shoulder him out of the way and knock him off balance from attacking Satoshi. * Katie looks up and puts her phone away. Dialing's pointless now. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6) and gets 5. [Satoshi grabs the knife before Yushiro gets to it.] * Satoshi pulls back and out of Yushiro's reach. First you involve yourself in my business, then you come to my very doorstep to blackmail me. * Yushiro growls. "But I don't back down so easily." And stabbing me's supposed to make it all better? Did we try and force our way in? Did we cross your doorstep? No! Like hell you didn't. Why did you do it?! You're obviously insane. * Haruko tries to project, but not straight out yell, fortunately yelling as a puddle is hard. * Katie whispers, "Blackmail." The wind around her picks up, and she's looking intensely at Yushiro. * Satoshi grits his teeth and wonders what exactly he's supposed to do with this knife. ( Cut three bagels with it, then donate it to charity. ) (With all the blood on it? Eww.) * Kaede eyes Yushiro. "You've involved us ever since you came after my sister..." He points the wrench towards Haruko. "And her friend." No, you involved yourself. Tell us the truth. * Satoshi concentrates on Yushiro again. * Kaede grits his teeth. "Ex-CUSE me?" * Haruko stays a puddle and keeps the shield up. "So anyone who deals with yourrr sisterrr will get theirr frrrriends hurrrt, that's it?" So that's it. You're after her! We don't want her! We want to protect her, not do anything to her! * Katie winces a little, rubbing at one of her ears. Like hell! I won't let you take her. We helped herrr because she was attacked, we didn't know who she was. Then you attacked our frrriends. * Kyon blows out a breath, and mutters something in Chinese. Your mind's so twisted... * Kaede just watches Yushiro carefully. It's obvious he's a moron. Why does he have to state it? * Katie drops her hand, takes a breath, and speaks with a quiet, oddly untrembling voice, "He's crazy. He'll never understand." ( Therefore Katie should date him. ) (Yup. If he were female, Kaede'd !date him) (Snerk.) * Haruko 's voice loses calms slightly. "You'rrre a badly disturbed person, a disgrrrrace, you belong in an asylum, but get this, go afterrr ourrr friends we fight back. This isn't about yourrr sisterrr, this is about you." * Yushiro reaches behind the door. "Right, I can guess what you want with me." * Haruko keeps the wall of water up. * Kyon nods quickly, and smirks. "Yeah. Obviously, it's your overpowering intellect. So we can solve problems more quickly." ( We want you to try these new samples, we have a delicasy imported from China, and of course some fine examples of our native cuisine, and ...er...Saki? Who was this? I mean what.) * Satoshi sends to Haruko. ~He's going for another weapon.~ Then he sends to Kyon, Kaede, and Katie. * Kaede rolls his eyes at Kyon. "Like the problem of not having enough insane people on our side already." ( You guys get it later 'cause you're not Telepath Plus Gold members. ) ( Go me ) (Actually, she gets it first because she's the most involved one, but hey. ^_~) * Katie takes a breath, then raises one hand towards Yushiro from behind the swirling wind. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6) and gets 2, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "I'm down with that. You know me." (Um, sure!) ( @_@ ) * Kyon nods quickly. "Right. Two isn't enough." (Katie is the WIN!) [Yushiro goes flying back into the kitchen and puts a dent in the cupboard.] * Kaede keeps his wrench steady at Yushiro and then raises his arm up to brace himself at the wind. "What the--" He sighs. "Thanks, Katie." * Satoshi blinks. "That's impressive." I... didn't think I could do that yet. * Satoshi looks at the rest of the group. "Field's still up, but should we try getting farther away?" If we let him go now, he'll just come after them again... [There's a scream from inside. "Yushiro!" Fuyuko appears in the kitchen next to him.] * Katie looks at Kaede, annoyed. "If he's still *alive* he'll come after... Fuyuko?" * Kaede blinks. * Satoshi takes the opportunity to wrap the knife in something and stick it in his bag. * Satoshi is also still bleeding from one hand. * Kyon stands down a bit, resting the sword by his side, and looks in. * Kaede stands down too...he doesn't look so sure now as he edges towards the doorway * Katie moves over, too, just barely peeking around. The wind continues to circle her. * Satoshi keeps his uninjured hand near the zipper of his bag and looks through the doorway. He does not cross the threshold. * Kaede blinks again then turns to Satoshi, whispering harshly. "You said the field was still up, right?" * Haruko carefully moves the wall inside a bit to protect the peekrs. (He is secretly a vampire and has not been invited in yet.) * Fuyuko kneels down to help Yushiro up, but he brushes her off, grabbing a coffee mug and flinging it towards the door. d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Fuyuko (d6) and gets 2. * Satoshi whispers back. "Yes." [Kaede! Defense roll!] 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6) and gets 3. (How dare you duck an object thrown by an angry girl! :P) (It's from Yushiro!) [Kaede ducks behind the wall just in time, and the mug shatters on it.] * Kaede keeps himself around the doorjam. "What the hell!?" ( Roll init! ) d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (d6+6) and gets 8. d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (d6+6) and gets 7. d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (d6+6) and gets 7. d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (d6+6) and gets 9. d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyon (d6+6) and gets 9. [Order: Yushiro, Katie, Kyon, Kaede, Fuyuko, Satoshi, Haruko] [Yushiro's turn!] * Yushiro grabs a flower vase next, and flings that at a random person. d5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Yushiro (d5) and gets 3. ( Katie, make a ranged def roll! ) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6-2) and gets 4. [Katie ducks, and the vase smashes against the door.] [Katie's turn!] * Katie manages to duck away, then makes her way a bit further into the house of horrors. "Fuyuko? Why are you helping him?" [Kyon's turn!] * WeightofTaki is now known as Taki * Kyon keeps a close eye on Fuyuko, but doesn't do anything yet. (Hold, for now.) [Kaede's turn!] * Kaede keeps behind the doorframe, wrench to his side. "Fuyuko! Call him off!" (Holdx3) [Fuyuko's turn!] * Fuyuko cries, "Why are you doing this?! Leave him alone!" She doesn't do anything, though. [Satoshi's turn!] * Satoshi goes into a defensive stance. (Total Defense) ( Ever the brave warrior :P ) [Haruko's turn!] * Haruko tries to move the wall forward a little to keep covering the people who insist on moving beyond her protection. "Yushirrro you'rrre a pathetic, weak, cowarrrd, you attack innocent women then hide behind yourrr sisterrrr." (Applying AoD) (That's it) Because he's done nothing but hurt our friends, hurt *you*, and attack Satoshi. ( That's not true! I've also played Parchesee ) (*gasp* You fiend!) (And it's Parchesi, I think.) ( Blame it on Engrish! XD ) (I will, thank you! ^_~) [Yushiro's turn!] * Yushiro grabs a fork! Oh no! d5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Yushiro (d5) and gets 5. * Yushiro flings it! Satoshi needs a defense roll! 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-2) and gets 9. (At least it's not a spork.) [Satoshi gets whacked upside the head with a fork. Thankfully, not the pointy end.] [Katie's turn!] (Satoshi will now have most of a place setting. Watch for a spoon, and complete the set. =P) (*snerk*) (He'd have to pick up the cup and wait for a plate too) Ow! * Katie sighs at Fuyuko's lack of answer, casts a worried glance at Satoshi, and keeps moving in. "Stop it." (Again, hold and end turn. I'm such a non com. ^^;) d2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Brett (d2) and gets 2. (Such a non-com that keeps walking in front of the protective shield. :P) [Kyon's turn] * Kyon just waits. The guy's throwing forks. (Hold.) ( Hey! Don't insult his forks! ) [Kaede's turn!] * Kaede walks around the corner. He doesn't have an offensive stance. But he does walk forward, addressing Fuyuko. "Just what exactly is the relationship between you and your brother?" [Fuyuko's turn!] * Fuyuko starts to respond, but Yushiro pushes her aside. "That's none of your concern!" [Satoshi's turn!] Let her talk! (Total Defense) [Haruko's turn!] * Haruko extends her wall as far as she can to offer protection to those creeping into the house, however, she's not will to extend it so far that she can't use the walls of the room to prevent Yushiro from just running around the wall. So if Kaede and Katie are beyond that, she's not protecting them. She doesn't say anything. [Yushiro's turn!] * Yushiro grabs a steak knife, and rather than throw it, advances instead. [Katie's turn!] * Katie yelps, then backs away. She glances at Fuyuko. "We saved you and you're *letting* this happen?" * Katie reaches her hand into her pocket. [Kyon's turn!] (If he attacks me, spray him. Readied action.) * Kyon snaps into position, and comes further forward, sword readied. "Think that's going to be big enough?" He rocks back on his heels, and smirks down at Yushiro. [Kaede's turn!] * Kaede grits his teeth and edges to meet Katie halfway, wrench out across perpendicular in front of him. [Fuyuko's turn!] * Fuyuko steps forward. "I never wanted this! I never wanted any of this! Why couldn't you just leave things be?!" [Satoshi's turn!] * Katie winces at Fuyuko's outburst. People are so loud. * Satoshi walks in and starts heading towards Yushiro. [Haruko's turn!] * Haruko just keeps the shield up, and hopes nobody in front gets themselves hurt. * Katie glances at Fuyuko. "Why do you have to let things be? Do you want people to be hurt?" Everything would have been fine, if you just went away! [Yushiro's turn!] * Yushiro approaches Katie, knife ready. (take your action!) * Katie doesn't respond to Fuyuko, as Yushiro raises his knife towards her. As he does so, her hand flashes from her pocket. She presses the button, spraying mace into his eyes and nose. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6-2) and gets 7. (DR1) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6-2) and gets 8. (And two.) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6-2) and gets 3. * Yushiro staggers back, with stuff in his eyes. [Katie's turn!] (Kaede had the readied action after Katie. Should he go too or is there not enough room to run?) * Katie throws her hand forward, wind whipping furiously. "Get away!" 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6) and gets 6. * Yushiro is pushed back, into the kitchen again. [Kyon's turn!] * Kyon stops behind the shield, sword out and ready, in reserve. (Hold, again.) [Kaede's turn!] * Kaede watches carefully and his eyes narrow and while he can't rush past Katie to pin Yushiro, he does rush up to her, wrench out in front and to her side. "You okay, Katie?" [Fuyuko's turn!] * Katie gasps, but she's staring at Yushiro. "Yeah. I'm okay." 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6-2) and gets 1. * Fuyuko shrieks. "Yushiro!" [Satoshi's turn!] * Katie actually shuts her eyes in a grimace. * Satoshi can't exactly get past Kaede and Katie, so he continues advancing with Kyon. He gives Fuyuko a concerned glance. [Haruko's turn!] * Haruko pushes her shield to the maximum range, about another five meters forward. Since this is a small hallway, she doens't need to worry about him running around it. The puddle blurbles quietly to Kyon. "That's as farrr as it goes, and I can't keep it up forrrever.: [Yushiro's turn!] * Yushiro gets up, takes a step forward and swings wildly, but he can't even see what he's aiming at. [Katie's turn] * Katie takes a step back, letting Kaede deal with this. She keeps staring at Yushiro. (Total defense, I suppose.) [Kyon's turn!] * Kyon looks critically ahead. "Just drop it for now, then. Don't think he's going to be doing much damage now." He keeps his sword at the ready, though. [Kaede's turn!] 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6) and gets 10. * Kaede walks forward a little and looks...not very intimidating. But he does point his wrench at Yushiro while looking at Fuyuko. "Tell him to leave our friends and family alone and we'll have no problem." [Fuyuko!] * Fuyuko throws herself at Kaede! "Get away from him!" * Kaede growls out as he pulls back defensively. "Are you mad? I'm not going to touch him!" 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6-3) and gets 8. [Kaede and Fuyuko both fall to the ground! But Fuyuko's got a hold of him.] [Satoshi's turn!] * Kaede oofs on the tiles. What's said still remains said though. * Satoshi moves forward but doesn't interfere with Kaede and Fuyuko. Yet. (He realizes this is Kaede's first step to getting a girlfriend.) (*snerk*) [Haruko's turn!] * Haruko lets the shield splash into a puddle on th floor and flows a bit into the house. She stays ready to raise it again if it looks like it's needed though. [Yushiro staggers towards Katie, slashing with the steak knife.] ( Gimme a def roll! ) 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6-1) and gets 7. [Katie gets cut across the back of her hand. Fortunately it's not too deep, since Yushiro can barely see anything.] [Kyon's turn!] * Katie lets out a strangled yelp again, looking down at her hand. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyon (2d6-2) and gets 7. (DR.) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyon (2d6-2) and gets 7. [Kyon throws his punch, but misses!] [Kaede's turn!] * Kaede turns his head as much as he can. "Katie!" He struggles as he looks at Fuyuko. "Why the hell are you helping him? I want to know why my sister came home with a bloody face because of him." [But for now, Kaede's turn. He's being held down by a girl. Make fun of him.] 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6) and gets 7. [But Kaede does not break free.] [Fuyuko's turn!] * Fuyuko just holds Kaede down. [Satoshi's turn! Satoshi is defending!] [Haruko's turn!] * Haruko scoots forward more and then raises the wall again, hopefully she's far enough forward now to protect the front guard. You're not even going to say anything...you're just as bad as he is... Why can't you just leave us alone?! * Katie looks at her bleeding hand. "Because you can't leave us alone." [Suddenly Taki shows up outside of the house!] ( Annnd, first round! ) * Haruko hasn't noticed Taki, she stays inside of the door projecting the shield as far forward as she can. She's probably moved forward enough when she had it down to be able to protect Katie. She's not taking any other action. [Order is now: Taki (except she's showing up; that's her action), Yushiro, Katie, Kyon, Kaede, Fuyuko, Satoshi, Haruko] * Haruko's jacket and her bag are outside. She's inside the door though.] * Satoshi pulls out his stick, holding it in both hands (and one's probably still bleeding) and tries to disarm (or, if someone beats him to it) trip up Yushiro. * Kyon aims another regular punch at Yushiro's head, scowling about missing the previous one. [Yushiro slashes wildly with his knife while rubbing at his eyes. He doesn't hit anything, but he blinks a few times and manages to get the pepper spray out.] 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyon (2d6-2) and gets 5. * Katie gets out of the way of the fighting and tries to help pull Fuyuko off of Kaede. * Kaede sighs and looks at Fuyuko, then towards the fighting. He's not completely struggling but he looks at her disappointed. "You'd allow your brother to do something like this? To pull a knife on us like this?" * Taki has arrived, she looks a bit tired, and a lot had a determined and rather fixed grin on her face, she starts running twords the open door. Fuyuko screams at Kaede, "You started it!" 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6) and gets 7. Started what? He came out on us with a knife. * Katie grimaces, even as she tries to pull Fuyuko off of Kaede. All the screaming. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6) and gets 9. * Kaede 's keeping himself calm despite it all. [Satoshi swings at Yushiro and misses, but he gets hit upside the head by Kyon. Meanwhile, Katie tries to pull Fuyuko off of Kaede, but fails.] [Next round!] * Kaede shakes his head. "You're just as hopeless as he is if you truly believe that..." This time he tries to push her off. * Katie sighs, giving another tug. "Come on, Fuyuko. You know us. You *know* our friends are getting hurt, and you know your brother's doing it. Do you really think we don't care?" [Yushiro grunts and takes a swing at Kyon! (and maybe hits; Kyon needs a melee def roll)] * Haruko just keeps the shield up. "We've got it under control Taki." 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyon (2d6-2) and gets 4. * Taki stops running when she comes even with Haruko, "This is under control!?" * Satoshi tries to hit Yushiro's hand again to make him drop the knife. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6) and gets 7. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6) and gets 9. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6) and gets 5. * Kyon thrusts with his other hand at Yushiro's upper arm. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyon (2d6-3) and gets 4. [Hokay! Yushiro swings at Kyon, but Kyon turns his attack aside and counters with one of his own, stabbing Yushiro just below the shoulder. Satoshi can't hit squat! And Kaede and Katie demonstrate combined weakness. Meanwhile... Kaede, gimme a body roll!] 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6) and gets 9. [Fuyuko shakes Kaede by the collar, screaming, "Stop it! Stop it!" She shakes so hard that Kaede's head bounces off the floor once, and ow.] [Next round!] * Satoshi goes for try number three! Surely it has to work this time, right? 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6) and gets 5. * Kaede winces. "Ow!" He glares at Fuyuko. "Stop what? It's not like I can *do* anything with you keeping me pinned to the ground. I never had any intention of hurting your brother, *despite* what he may have done to my sister!" * Haruko keeps in puddle form on the floor. "Taki, can you teleporrrt Fuyuko out of here?" * Kaede grabs her by the wrist, more to stop her from shaking him than to necessarily get her off. * Satoshi also hasn't really noticed Taki yet. * Taki shakes her head at Haruko and runs up and grabs one of Fuyoko's arms, "Let go of him! He's done a lot of things wrong, but he's just trying to help!" (The fact that Katie is the other person trying to help him had no influence on this. At all. None.) [Yushiro takes a stab at Kyon again, but his swing goes wide.] ...gee, thanks Taki. * Kyon smirks, and turns fluidly forward with a normal punch towards Yushiro's injured arm. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyon (2d6-2) and gets 3. [And Fuyuko keeps shaking Kaede. "Lies! You're lying! You're gonna kill him!" 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6-2) and gets 7. * Katie yanks on Fuyuko again, muttering something in English about how Kaede can't do that when being shaken like this. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6) and gets 3. (*blinks at charsheet* I am teh stoopid.) (You forgot skills?) [Katie grabs Fuyuko, but she shakes her off. Taki grabs Fuyuko, too, but she's still got Kaede. Meanwhile, Kyon slugs Yushiro again, and Satoshi ... Uh, hold that thought.] (I should have been rolling 2d6-1 all along, not 2d6, and thus I should have made the first two rolls. ;p) (Oh, well. Live and learn.) (Satoshi goes back in time and temporally slugs Yushiro) [Oh. Too late! Satoshi strikes Yushiro's hand. He drops the knife as it goes *Crack!*] [And Fuyuko screams. Next round!] (Durn, I got a three and she rolled a two or something. @_@ Oh well.) ( Her body's higher than yours ^^ ) (I thought she was an averagish schoolgirl! Deceptive!) ( She's on the volleyball team >.> ) * Haruko lets the shield drop as she resumes normal formal and is wearing her robes once again. She goes to grab the knife in one of the folds of her sleeves. "Satoshi, try to hold him." * Katie winces at the screaming. "Taki, vanish me and Fuyuko." * Taki winces, nods and aims for the front yard. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6-3) and gets 4. * Satoshi shoves the knife and his stick back into his bag and then tries to grab and hold Yushiro. 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-1) and gets 8. * Kyon just aims one more good shot at Yushiro's chest. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyon (2d6-2) and gets 4. [Taki vanishes everyone into the front yard. Yushiro, meanwhile, grabs a metal dust pan, and brandishes it as threateningly as a dustpan wielder can. And Satoshi reaches for him, but can't grab him. But Kyon punches him!] ( He's not looking too good at this point. ) I'm trying! * Haruko grabs her bag from out front and closes the door behind her to keep Fuyuko from rushing in. [Taki and Katie appear outside.] [Next round!] * Katie blinks. She blinks again when she realizes Fuyuko isn't there, looks at Taki, and almost looks amused. "" * Taki simply growls in frustration and tries to telport Katie back in. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6-3) and gets 4. * Haruko grabs her bag from outside, goes back in the door, and digs through it to grab her smaller 'water' bottle. * Satoshi tries to grab Yushiro again! 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-1) and gets 6. (And Taki finally learns that she can't do that) [Fuyuko finally notices what's happening and gets up off of Kaede, throwing herself in front of Yushiro. "Stop!"] * Kyon eyes Yushiro critically for a second, and then tries to skirt the dustpan to grab him. * Kaede sighs and dusts himself off as she gets off him. "Finally..." ( Satoshi, acrobatics (flexibility) to get around Fuyuko ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6) and gets 4. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyon (2d6) and gets 8. [Fuyuko blocks Kyon from getting past, but satoshi manages to. Yushiro swings the dustpan at him as he approaches. (def roll!)] 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-3) and gets 8. [Whack! Satoshi is hit upside the head with a dustpan as Yushiro backs away.] [Next round!] * Kaede looks at Yushiro solidly. "Yushiro, stop it.." And then looks as if he realizes he's being insane. [Yushiro swings at Satoshi again! And Satoshi needs to defend!] 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-3) and gets 6. * Kyon scowls deeply down at Fuyuko, and cocks a fist. "Out of the way." (And hold for reaction.) * Taki runs forward and immidatly...goes on full defence to yell at Fuyuko, "Stop this, both of you! We arn't going to kill anybody, but Yushiro needs to be stopped!" * Katie looks at Kaede like he's insane, too. Because she's back in the house with Taki. * Katie then winces and holds her ears. * Haruko sticks the bottle in a pocket of her jacket (she put them in special) and goes to try to hold Fuyuko or failing that at least try to keep her out of the way. "I've got her." 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (2d6) and gets 2, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "A WINNER IS YOU!" (YO!) (Hoo hah.) [Haruko gets Fuyuko in a full nelson.] * Kyon nods quickly at Haruko and tries to grab that dangerous dustpan duellist Yushiro again, now that the obstacle's out of the way. 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyon (2d6-1) and gets 7. (*cracks up*) * Satoshi is presumably smacked by a dustpan, but this isn't enough to get him to stop trying to grab Yushiro! 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-1) and gets 4. [Kyon can't seem to get around Satoshi as he and Yushiro move around the kitchen. Yushiro smacks Satoshi in the head again, but Satoshi does get a hold of him finally. And Fuyuko struggles without avail. "Let me go! Yushiro!"] * Satoshi holds Yushiro very tightly. "I got him!" [Next round!] * Kaede sighs and rubs his forehead. "This is getting us nowhere..." * Katie says loudly as her hands continue to cover her ears, "That's great. Now somebody keep Fuyuko from screaming." * Haruko just tries to hold on to Fuyuko. "I can't do that on my own." ( She sure can't! Unless she makes a body roll ) * Kaede walks over towards Fuyuko calmly. "You do realize this isn't going to work..." ( And Satoshi needs one too, but he's got SS on his side ) * Kyon rolls his eyes, steps back, and holds his sword a few inches off from a vital point on Yushiro's chest. "Both of you going to be quiet now?" 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (2d6) and gets 4. * Taki eyes the narrow fight in the kitchen, and then kneals down next to Haruko so she can cup a hand over Fuyuko's mouth, "Your brother has been attacking people, he needs to be stopped." (Or Kyon can threaten to stab him in the heart.) 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-4) and gets 6. * Kaede rolls his eyes. "Wonderful, Kyon." [Well... Fuyuko pales and stops dead at that. So does Yushiro, but the look in his eyes is downright murderous.] So we got them to stop....now what? * Kyon nods quickly, and steps back a bit more. "Now we talk." * Katie hears the silence, then drops her hands, slowly. She looks around. Which is all we wanted in the first place. (And how can we tell through the hair?) * Haruko doesn't let go of Fuyuko if she can help it or Kyon tells her otherwise. ( It parts just enough at a dramatic moment ) * Taki does let go, "Sorry." 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6) and gets 9. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6) and gets 4. * Kaede sighs, closes his eyes and continues rubbing his forehead. "Fuyuko, we're not going to hurt your brother...though why you would stand what he does I have no idea, but it's not our place..." [Fuyuko shakes her head, but doesn't say anything.] (Current ping: 24. Yay!) What I do know is that he's hurt people for no other reason than trying to be your friend...and we want to know why. And we need it to stop. Yushiro glares at the lot of you and grits his teeth. "Go to hell!" One of Harukos friends, and two of Katies were attacked by your brother. We're talking to your sister. You butt out of this. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-4) and gets 5. [Yushiro tries to jerk free, but it don't work.] Now Fuyuko...do you mind if we let you talk for yourself for a while? [Fuyuko doesn't say anything. She just cries. *sob* ;_;] * Kaede sighs and stands back. "We're never going to accomplish anything by this. This is pointless." * Kyon rolls his eyes, and stalks back over to the wall, turning to lean up against it. * Haruko looks to Kyon. "Should I handle talking to him, or do you want to?" * Kaede looks back at Fuyuko. "Will you believe me if I tell you we don't want to harm your brother?" [Fuyuko shakes her head.] * Kyon shrugs quickly. "Your case. Can watch." Well then we can't make any progress until you understand that... * Kaede looks at Yushiro, trying to keep a calm face. "And will you believe us if we say we have no intent of harming your sister?" * Taki glances at Katie and then Satoshi, before going back to Fuyuko, "What would it take for you to belive us? We arn't here to hurt either of you." * Haruko looks to Kaede. "Please tell me when you're done." She then stays silent for a moment. She doesn't actually look as if she doesn't necessarily intend to harm Yushiro if it comes to it. * Katie sighs. * Satoshi just keeps quiet. * Haruko fortunately, is behind Fuyuko, so not so easy to see that. * Kyon looks coolly across the room towards Fuyuko. "Remember when those kids at your school stole your diary? I got that back for you. Still have no trust?" Yushiro glares at Kaede. "You'll never succeed. I'll destroy you!" With a dustpan? * Satoshi rolls his eyes. ( With a dustpan! XD ) Never succeed with what? (ARCANA DUSTPAN POWERZ) * Taki rubs her head. * Kaede looks straight on at Yushiro and narrows his eyes. "And you don't think I feel the same about my sister? You're pathetic." * Katie touches a couple fingers to the long, shallow cut on her hand, then reaches into a satchel pocket for a band aid. * Katie pulls one out, eyes it as it's not big enough, and just puts it back in. Fuyuko suddenly yells, "Go away! Why can't you just go away!? Don't hurt my brother anymore!" * Kaede pulls out his wrench and holds it off to the side, charging it with electricity. "I could waste you right here if I wanted...I could end all this nonsense...you'd never be able to come after her again..." * Taki is unfortunatly not looking in the right direction to see what Katie is up to, "Because...he attacked our friends first." * Katie claps her hands over her ears. ", Fuyuko. Stop that." Why did he start hurting our friends? 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-4) and gets 4. [Yushiro struggles again, but Satoshi R buff. * Kaede holds up the wrench and looks evenly at Yushiro, making sure he catches the electrical crackle as he stares down the business end of a wrench for a few moments before it winks out. "But I'm not like you." * Haruko looks to Yushiro. "I don't care about you, I want the best for Fuyuko but I can't make her choices for her. Nobody else gets hurt because of being associated with us or Fuyuko, we stay out of your lives. Deal?" 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (2d6) and gets 6. * Kaede tosses the wrench off to the side onto the floor and turns around. "I'm done." [Haruko nearly loses her grip as Fuyuko suddenly struggles, but she can't manage to break free.] [And Yushiro responds to Haruko, "I'll kill you."] * Kaede looks at Fuyuko. "But if your brother comes after my sister again, I can't be held responsible for my actions. Just as I'm sure you feel he'd protect you." If you try, Yushiro, you'll be dead first. * Haruko looks to Satoshi. "Does he mean that?" * Satoshi concentrates. * Satoshi tightens his grip as he does so. * Taki rubs her head again, "Why can't anything be simple?" * Satoshi nods. Okay, why? What, exactly, is so important and special about you two that you feel you don't have to follow the rules and behave like normal, civilized people? * Kaede pushes up his glasses and walks past Haruko. "You can't force anyone to think a certain way, Haruko-san. No matter how much you may like to..." * Taki kneals down so she can look Fuyuko in the eyes, "Do you want your brother to be come a murder?" Fuyuko: "Please, just go! Nobody else has to get hurt. Just go far away!" ( Some people can o/~ ) * Kaede doesn't say anything. He does head for the door though. (Tenjirou doesn't count >.>) 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-4) and gets 0. * Taki looks at Yushiro, and continues to speak to Fuyuko, "is there anywhere in the world that would be far enough away?" [Satoshi doesn't let Yushiro escape!] * Katie glances as Kaede walks out, starts after him, and stops herself. She looks over to Fuyuko and Yushiro, waiting for some sort of answer to Satoshi's question. Fuyuko: "I don't know! Just stop it!" Fuyuko? I have one question. If you answer it, I'll go away. I won't hurt anybody if I get the answer I don't like. I promise. * Taki stands, and moves out from between Fuyuko and Katie. * Katie turns so she's looking fully at the girl. "Remember the last time I saw you? It was in the nurse's office. Did you know Yushiro was the one who cut and beat Arisu?" [Fuyuko shakes her head. "You're wrong. You're wrong!"] * Katie looks at her oddly. "What am I wrong about?" * Taki rubs her forehead. "He couldn't have done that! He just couldn't have!" * Haruko lets Katie handle the interview. She tries to keep hold just in case. Why not? We have pictures that make it look like he did, and he used a knife, like the one where he tried to hurt Satoshi. Like the cuts on Kaede's sister, and Haruko's friend. "He didn't! You're lying!" * Katie somehow manages not to wince. "I can show you the pictures, if you want. Did you think he'd only hit you?" [Fuyuko shakes her head, sending tears every which way.] * Taki closes her eyes and rubs harder. Then what did you think? That everything would be okay if we ignored that our friends and family were getting hurt? It's not just you, Fuyuko. And nobody else is happy about this. Did you think a little memory erasing was going to make it all okay? "It would have been." She sniffs. "Everything would have been fine." * Haruko looks up to Katie, she's got a fairly trusting look. * Kyon looks on coolly and quietly. * Katie sighs. "Then I'm sorry, but most people can't ignore things like that, just like there's some very nice people out there that are going to try to be your friends whether you like it or not. And just like us, they'll get hurt, too. They deserve it least of all." Do you really want to be alone like that? * Taki opens her eyes to down at Fuyuko and when she speaks her voice trembles, "no, no it wouldn't. He'd just keep hurting people untill he ran into one who could hurt him back, and if he surived that he will get killed the next time. Or the one after that. I'm watching my past life live through that right now. You don't have to. You can do something about it." Fuyuko's eyes widen, "You are going to kill him!" You have to stop him. * Taki shakes her head again, "No. I am not. But somebody he tries to hurt will." [Fuyuko shakes her head.] It will happen...I hope you have a easier time waiting it out than I am. "It doesn't have to." * Satoshi gives Taki a confused look. * Katie steps towards Fuyuko, trying to look her in the eye. "Fuyuko," she says, sounding oddly gentle. "I don't want to hurt you. None of us do. But even if your brother isn't the one who hurt our friends and family, he did threaten us and them. He'll do it to your other friends, too. Do you really want to be alone?" * Justincase has joined #arcana * Taki turns to leave, "and I'm sorry I intrupted you Katie." Fuyuko mumbles: "If.... If it's the only way... yes." What if it's not the only way? "It is the only way." * Katie tilts her head. "Why?" * Haruko looked a little worried at Taki's line of questioning but seems content with how it ended, she now watches Katie, trying to look supportive. * Taki sits down in the front doorway, holding her head in her hands. Fuyuko cries: "You don't understand him like I do! You don't! It's not fair." * Taki twitches. * Satoshi would go over and talk to Taki, but he's a bit occupied with holding Yushiro at the moment. * Kyon keeps an eye on Yushiro, and keeps his face cool. He jams his non-sword hand into his pocket. * Haruko adjusts her position slightly, she looks like she's settling in for the long haul while Katie works. Then why don't you help me understand, because from what I can tell, he's crazy and would kill us all if he could just because we tried to be your friends. * Taki mutters to herself. Fuyuko: "He wouldn't do that!" (Yes. We don't understand him like you do because you're DELUSIONAL) He just said he would. He stabbed Satoshi in the hand because he was talking to him. "He was protecting himself!" From what? From what? The door closing too slow? My voice? "From you!" Satoshi didn't lift a hand against him. "He broke his hand!!" * Taki continues to mutter. You're out of order, Fuyuko. Satoshi was stabbed well before Yushiro's hand was broken. * Katie studies the younger girl for a moment, then asks, "Why did your brother slap you earlier today?" "He knew you were here to kill him! He was protecting himself!" Why did he slap you, Fuyuko? Yushiro chuckles. "Heh." * Katie spins to fix her gaze on him. "Or maybe I should ask *you*," she says, her voice instantly dropping a number of degrees. "Why did you slap her?" Yushiro laughs aloud. "Hahahaha! You're fools. All of you." Yeah? Go on. (This is when the five round, static attack he's been charging up goes off) (Fortunately, Taki and Kaede are both out of range.) (Why do you think Kaede left?) You know, could you actually say something that doesn't sound like it comes from a bad TV show? ( It's AoE x 3 ) (So just Keade survives...untill his girlfriends kill him) "I thought you were here for Fuyuko. But you don't get it at all!" * Taki doesn't look up, yet. * Katie decides to humor him. "And what's that?" * Satoshi concentrates on Yushiro again. * Haruko looks sort of calm, as if she's slowly accepting that her life is going to involved dealing with lunatics and that isn't going to change. * Satoshi sends to Haruko. ~He's got something planned. Says he has an ace up his sleeve.~ * Satoshi then sends to Katie, Kyon, and Taki. * Katie responds to Satoshi when she gets the message: ~And not what the ace is? This guy thinks in code.~ (The Ace of Swords of course. Ryuji hides in his hair) (!) 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (2d6-1) and gets 8. (dr) 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (2d6-1) and gets 7. Yushiro chuckles, "And to think I tried to help you." * Satoshi sends back to Katie when he picks up her thought, ~Nope. He's very closed-minded.~ * Taki turns her head twords Yushiro, "Whatever it is, it won't help enough." * Haruko raises her shield again. Better safe. *Help* us? By hurting our friends, you think you helped us? * Haruko unfortunately can't put Satoshi behind it, so just guards the rest of the group. She can't really make the wall unobtrusive so she doesn't try. * Taki stands up. Yushiro: "Hurt your friends, eh? Fuyuko, show them who hurt their friends." All of a sudden, Fuyuko screams. Haruko is thrust back against the wall as what appear to be thick, flexible blade-like burst out of her back. Her hand vanishes as a long curved sword appears around it. ( Reroll init! ) (Hoo boy.) (Ah. I am right and vindicated.) d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (d6+6) and gets 10. (Yeah, I had a feeling.) d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (d6+7) and gets 10. d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (d6+6) and gets 10. (I was wondering when she'd get around to that) d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (d6+6) and gets 7. * Justincase is now known as Fuyuko (He was, he really was!) d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyon (d6+6) and gets 12. (I feel good about believing him) ( Jeez. Now that one's being unresponsive ) d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (d6+6) and gets 11. [Order: Kyon, Kaede, Fuyuko, Katie, Taki, Satoshi, Yushiro, Haruko] [Action!] * Haruko also screams and her eyes go way wide. Really loud, sorry Katie but she isn't holding back. She tries to keep the shield up if she's physically capable of it. * Katie grimaces, and covers her ears. Far, far too much screaming today. * Satoshi picks up Yushiro and throws him at Fuyuko. * Fuyuko stops screaming. She floats above the ground for a bit, and her eyes seem completely blank. Then she zeroes in on Haruko and charges through the air for her.] * Taki teleports next to Haruko, "Gotta getchaoutahere." * Kaede comes running in at the scream. "Dammit! What the hell!" He rushes in front of whoever's being attacked and crosses his arms out in front of him, trying to take the brunt of it. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (2d6) and gets 6. * Kyon surges off of the wall and does a jumping lunge at Fuyuko, aiming for whatever looks open. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyon (2d6-3) and gets 0. * Katie pushes one hand towards Fuyuko, trying force enough wind to at least blow her off balance. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6) and gets 8. (DR1) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6) and gets 8. [Kyon stabs Fuyuko in the leg as she passes by, but she doesn't even seem to notice it at she flies at Haruko. Haruko drops the shield and dives out of the way just in time as the blades on Fuyuko's back dart forth, and make mincemeat out of the wall; Fuyuko flies through a big whole that's now in the wall. And Katie tries to blow her off course, but misses.] 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6) and gets 6. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-4) and gets 1. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6) and gets 7. [Satoshi picks Yushiro up and throws him, but he hits the wall instead. He staggers to his feat and moves outside.] ( And Kaede was outside, so there's no way he could get all the way over to Haruko. ) [Next round] (Okay, he's still running then.) (It's hard when you don't know the dimensions of the room ^^;) ( Small. You'd have to go through Kyon and Katie to get to them ) (Wonderful...well check that.) * Taki grabs Haruko's arm and tries to teleport her behind Satoshi. * Kaede stops behind Katie, hissing at not getting in in time. "I knew we should have just left.." * Haruko goes puddly, leaving a bottle of water/chloroform in the middle of her puddle. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6) and gets 3. * Kyon stops, and forces a calm over himself. He puts his hands in front of him, and the flames lick out and around him, forming a shield around him. He opens his eyes again and looks around. d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Brett (d6) and gets 6. * Satoshi pulls his stick back out and heads for the hole in the wall. (Probably all I can do on this turn.) * Katie doesn't look to Kaede. "I had to know." And she edges to one side, trying to look through the hole at whatever's outside. d2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Fuyuko (d2) and gets 2. * Fuyuko comes charging back towards the hole, slashing with her swordarm as she reaches the now moving there Satoshi! Satoshi needs to defend!] 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-3) and gets 6. * Fuyuko cuts Satoshi as she reenters, creating a large gash on his chest. [Next round!] (Any way I can get outside?) (Through the hole, anyway. If Fuyuko re-entered. ;P) (::raises a hand::) * Haruko raises in puddle form wherever Taki took raises a wall of water between her and Yushiro and Fuyuko. "Attack frrrom behind the wall!" ( Sure. ) (Where's that wall relative to me?) ( Behind you :P ) * Katie runs, moving as fast as she can and hopefully not getting hit as she dashes and jumps through the hole in the wall. Upon getting outside, she glances around for Yushiro. * Taki yells Satoshi's name, (poor Katie) and then teleports next to where ever he is by the time her turn comes up. * Satoshi retreats behind the water wall, taking a swing at Fuyuko if she's still in range. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-3) and gets 3. * Kyon times for when Fuyuko is in a good position, then strides forward and thrusts at Fuyuko again, trying this time for something likely to slow her down some. * Kaede looks Fuyuko over. "I suppose that means she's the..The six of swords eh..? Dammit, it's too crowded in here..I can't do anything about it..." 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyon (2d6-3) and gets 2. [Fuyuko blocks Satoshi's hockey stick with her sword. Her arms reach around her body and strike at Haruko's field. They don't get through, but they do cause a great deal of damage to it.] [Kyon moves up and stabs Fuyuko in the arm.] [Next round!] * Haruko moans and the wall ripples with impact tremors, her puddle shakes a bit as well but doesn't appear to lose any mass. "Hurry... chloroform in the bottle." * Satoshi stays behind the remnants of the water wall and swings at Fuyuko again. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-3) and gets 1. Is there a way we can--where? What bottle? * Fuyuko turns and faces Kyon. Her blade arms strike out around her. Of course, she gets hit by Satoshi, but she might hit Kyon, too (def roll!) 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyon (2d6-3) and gets 6. * Haruko 's puddle has a small 'water' bottle in the middle of it. Actually filled with chloroform, (Eh, I like DR here.) 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyon (2d6-3) and gets 5. * Kaede tries to go for it, if people aren't bunched up in the way. * Taki teleports right back where she started, "tell me these things sooner!" (That's what shields are for!) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6) and gets 5. * Kyon shifts his weight and throws a punch at Fuyuko that seems to catch the fire off the shield as it goes. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyon (2d6-2) and gets 9. [Kyon's field strains. It burns Fuyuko as she swings, and absorbs most of the damage, but winks out as she cuts a small scratch on his arm. Her blade arms move to intercept the punch, meanwhile, and Kyon stops just short before losing his hand.] (Because, really, we've been there and done that already. ^_^;) [Next Round!] * Satoshi swings for her again! 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-3) and gets 3. * Kaede looks at the bottle. "Great. I have a bottle. Now how am I going to get it up there?" * Kyon stares at Fuyuko as his eyes flash red, and he throws his weight again into tossing a fiery punch at her head. (I think I can speak for, well myself, when I say this "doing everything at once" bit simply doesn't work, even with Arcana) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyon (2d6-2) and gets 7. * Taki glares at Kaede, "Like this!" She grabs the bottle and vanishes, only to reappear next to Fuyuko. (It helps in Jumpers to do a summary of outcomes at the start of each new round. Might work here. Would take a little time, but saves trouble) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6) and gets 2, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "I'm down with that. You know me." * Fuyuko blocks Satoshi's swing with one of her arms. She swings her sword at him again, and he needs to defend! Meanwhile, Kyon throws another firey punch, barely missing her. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-3) and gets 9, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "Looks like your thread just got cut. Sorry." (...erk?) ( @_@ ) (Isn't Satoshi behind the wall?) (Dicy is odd tonight) (Well. Unless I can pull out fantastic Judgement powers, I'm not gonna be in good shape.) (Thought he was behind the wall, in that case he doesn't need to dodge. :P) [Satoshi swings a bit too far, and his hand goes through the wall. Briefly, but long enough for Fuyuko to get in a pretty deep cut. (One battle where Kaede's not the one emerging within an inch of his life. Woot.) (Is this the same one that got stabbed earlier?) (Or the other hand?) ( Mmm... Other one. ) * Satoshi has matching stab wounds on both his hands now! Isn't he lucky? [Next round!] (Okay. Current situation [correct me if I'm wrong]: Taki's teleporting to try to chloroform Fuyuko. Kyon and Satoshi are attacking from behind the wall. Kaede is behind the wall having handed off the chloroform. Haruko is in a puddle behind the wall. Katie is elsewhere chasing Yushiro.) (Silly question time, is the bottle open or closed?) (Closed unless Kaede openned it) ( Closed :P ) * Haruko stays in puddle form, the puddles rippling as if she's exherting herslef. Her wall still stands though having not taken damage recently, her voice is a tad weaker. "Sorry Satoshi..." * Kaede looks around quickly. "Where's Katie?" She left, you can chase herrr. (And that's the end of Haruko speak for the round.) * Satoshi tries to keep hold of his stick, although his grip is slippery and his hands *really* hurt. But he takes another swing at Fuyuko, staying behind what's left of the wall. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-3) and gets 6. * Kaede looks for the wrench he threw on the floor earlier. "Dammit..." if it's too far away to get, he grabs something random and useful as he rushes outside. * Kyon swears in Chinese, and rears up again with his fire punch. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyon (2d6-2) and gets 5. * Taki swings the bottle at Fuyuko's head as she falls (total attack!) 2d6+4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6+4) and gets 10. (DR!) 2d6+4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6+4) and gets 13. 2d6+4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6+4) and gets 9. * Fuyuko leaves the combatants behind and charges across the room at Kaede, slashing at his back! However, Satoshi does hit him as she goes, as does Kyon. Kyon hits her pretty hard, in fact, and she falters a bit. But she keeps going, and Kaede needs a def roll! 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6-2) and gets 4. [Kaede ducks just in time as she goes flying past! Meanwhile, Taki appears next to where she was, by Satoshi and Kyon.] [Next round!] (So is she blocking Kaede's way out now though? And did Kaede grab his wrench or at least a reasonable facimile?) * Haruko adjusts the placement of the shield, now that Fuyuko has flown past the entire group. If she can reach far enough she protects the whole group. ( She's outside, but she's about to come back in :P ) * Kyon grits his teeth, closes his eyes, and takes this opportunity to restart his shield. * Kaede curses and keeps running out past Fuyuko. "Katie!" He looks around for any signs of her. * Taki yells at Fuyuko, "Come back here, and go to sleep!" * Fuyuko flies back towards the house. Towards the Kaede outside the house, even! Kaede needs a melee def roll! (And that doesn't tell me if he could have reached his wrench or anything running past.) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6-2) and gets 7. * Taki also starts running after her and takes a moment to uncork the bottle. d2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Brett (d2) and gets 1. ( Kaede has his wrench ) (Woot) [Fuyuko collides with Kaede, plowing him through the wall. She's not particularly injured by it, as he took the brunt of the damage.] * Satoshi rests his stick on the ground, trying to support himself. He grits his teeth and closes his eyes for a second in concentration. A small ball of light forms at the blade of his stick, and he draws back and shoots it towards Fuyuko as she comes back in. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6) and gets 10. [Satoshi makes his own hole in the wall!] (Note to self: buy Ranged Attack ability.) (This is where Satoshi needs a Sports synergy bonus. ) * Satoshi seems a bit shocked, but right now there are more important things to deal with than that realization. * Haruko almost wimpers. "Kaede, no." (Don't worry. Fields mean no permanent property damage!) [Next round!] * Kaede winces as he gets slammed through the wall and coughs out a little blood. He glares at Fuyuko. "I don't have time for this...I'm not going to hurt your brother but I'm damned well going to check on my friend who's left alone out there." He tries to get past her again. * Taki runs up to where Fuyuko is and tries to splash her with the bottle, not particularly caring if she gets Kaede, or even what Fuyuko is doing right now. ('nother total attack) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6) and gets 3. ( Splash? Uh... Ok... ) * Fuyuko is splashed! So is Kaede! But nothing happens to either of them. (Taki fails Chemistry.) * Satoshi swings at Fuyuko again, provided she's within range! (If she's not within range, let me know.) 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-3) and gets 1. * Haruko holds the line with the shield. "They need to breathe it. Use a cloth." (You'd have to hope that at lest some of it would get to her face...and the next time Kyon sets her on fire is going to bad) (Er, open air and rain, dear.) (On the plus side, if Kaede takes off his shirt, Taki can jam it into her face and have a whole chloroform rag.) (It's not enough to knock someone out.) [Satoshi strikes Fuyuko again! But as she reels, her blade arms dart around her and poke into Taki's leg.] (Woo. Fuyuko's distracted. Meaning not slamming Kaede again.) * Taki screams in pain and falls to her other knee. * Kyon is emboldened enough to try another shot at Fuyuko, now that he's got his field back up. His punch gets that effect of catching on fire as it goes through the shield again. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyon (2d6-2) and gets 8. (This is, again, why we don't do combat much ^^;) [Kyon throws a powerful punch, but Satoshi's strike knocks her out of his reach.] ( Bah, first time in a long while. And you have to admit, it's a challenge ^^ ) (It's a good thing I've got the grail-bearer on speed dial now) [Next round!] * Satoshi swings! Again! 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-3) and gets 7. (But this time, he misses.) * Haruko 's at a loss for words as she see's Taki get hit. The wall of water stays up though, it's likely looking raggedy but makes up for it with force of will. * Taki lacks anything handy made out of cloth, and so winceing she pulls off her own shirt, if anybody cares to look, her scars do extend to the front of her shoulder, she pours what's left of the bottle into it. Satoshi! Use this! * Satoshi would probably be distracted and blush if he weren't, y'know, fighting for his life at the moment. Huhwha? * Fuyuko blocks Satoshi's attack with her wing, slashing at him with her sword! But her swing goes wide and she misses. 2d6+3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6+3) and gets 8. Haruko's chloroform! * Satoshi will, presumably, be able to take it next round. * Kyon scowls, and nods quickly. "If this doesn't work, try that. If I get her out, pull us back behind Haruko." Then he charges forward, trying to knock Fuyuko through the hole. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyon (2d6-2) and gets 4. [Wham! Fuyuko is knocked outside!] [Next round!] 2d6+3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6+3) and gets 11. * Kyon stands and starts to move into his motion for the fireball, waiting for Taki to move them back. (Hold.) * Haruko stays in position. "I hope he knows what he's doing." The wall stays where it is. * Taki waits for Satoshi to take the shirt before reaching over to Kyon's leg for the teleport. * Fuyuko isn't going to wait. She dashes up to Kyon, and slashes at him. He needs a defense roll! 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6-3) and gets 3. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyon (2d6-3) and gets 6. * Satoshi runs over to Taki and grabs the shirt. [Satoshi takes Taki's shirt >.>] [Kyon's shield goes down again, but absorbs most of the damage as she cuts a small nick into his chest.] [Next round!] (And we did end up behind the water wall?) (That's where I put you.) ( Yeah, you're all there ) * Kyon finishes his motion, tossing the fireball over the wall and down at Fuyuko with a nice slider motion. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyon (2d6) and gets 6. * Haruko stays still as rainwater from outside is pulled in to the house, augmenting the wall of water, she looks like a scared little puddle. When the fireball explodes she squels out "Aaah!" at a rising pitch, but no way she's letting that shield go down. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6-4) and gets 7. * Taki tries to get back to her feet using her arms and unharmed leg. [Fwoosh! Fuyuko vanishes in an explosion! The water shield keeps the rest of you from suffering any damage, however.] [When the explosion subsides, a burning Fuyuko is standing in burning clothes on burning grass. Then she collapses.] * Haruko sends her wall of water flying outward first extinguishing the flames before flowing and then transforming and running out to help the girl. * Kyon looks at Fuyuko irritatedly, then sticks his sword point in the floor as he looks around. "Any idea where the others finished?" * Satoshi staggers out after Haruko, the cloroformed shirt clutched in a bloody hand. Outside. Somewhere. [Fuyuko is extinguished. She's wearing burn and torn clothes. For the record, Taki is also sans one shirt, and Haruko's wearing ugly looking robes.] (Fanservice night!) (Well, Haruko'd have to be naked again, but aside from that...) * Haruko 's crying as she does so and she's got a panicked expression but she doesn't let that stop her. She starts tending to Fuyuko's wounds as best she can while healing. "I need Katie for this, I can't do this alone... I can't fail again..." * Taki nods absently at Haruko and then teleports to the front door. * Satoshi falls to his knees wherever. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6) and gets 5. * Kyon walks out into the rain, largely ignoring his two minor cuts but looking somewhat tired. He cocks his head, listening for sounds of battle elsewhere. * Taki just looks around for them. [End!]
