[Day: Friday, April 2nd. Time: 8:30 p.m.] [Weather: A cool night with a light breeze, and rainy.] [You're all near a bricky red brick house, having borrowed a car to get here. Taki's asleep, Satoshi and Kaede are not, and Haruko went inside to investigate a gunshot you heard. She yelled something, but has yet to come back.] [And Akemi's on speaker.] [Session Start!] ( Hearing checks! ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6) and gets 8. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6-2) and gets 4. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (2d6) and gets 4. * Taki sleeps away in the back seat of the car with her head against the side of the car. The gunshot didn't wake her up, and it's doubtful that anything less could. * Kaede is moving rapidly towards the source of Haruko's voice, hissing under his breath. Something's definitely wrong, but it wouldn't be good to get caught just yet. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-2) and gets 8. ( Hearing checks again, -2 bonus! ) 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-4) and gets 0. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6-2) and gets 5. [You both hear another gunshot!] 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6-2) and gets 3. * Taki starts again, and actualy manages to fight her way part way to conciousness this time, "mmhem? We there?" * Satoshi shakes his head. "I don't like this, and I can't ask Haruko what's wrong because I can't reach that far." * Taki rubs her eyes, "I thought Kaede'n Haruko wanted to look first." * Taki looks at the front seats for her other two friends, and is quite surprised that they arn't there anymore, "S-satoshi? Where is everybody?" 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6) and gets 9. Haruko and Kaede heard gunshots and they went to investigate. I stayed here to watch over you. I'm worried. * Taki stares at Satoshi for a moment, "Why didn't you wak....Te... Go!" I didn't want to leave you alone, though. * Taki paws at her saftybelt and then the car door. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (2d6) and gets 6. * Satoshi helps Taki untangle herself and get out of the car. "Don't go rushing in, okay?" (Yeah, both hands, Haruko can be mad at her later) Sneakingingoingnow. * Satoshi nods and goes with her. Carefully. * Taki gets out of the car and into the rain, "Which house? Which one?" * Satoshi points in the right direction. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (2d6-3) and gets 4. * Taki goes that way...as as stealthily and as quickly as somebody with bright red hair can anyway. * Satoshi goes! ( And Taki, soul roll at -1 bonus ) 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6-1) and gets 7. (DR!) 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6-1) and gets 4. ( Oh, Taki and Satoshi, gimme perception rolls, +2 ) 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6+2) and gets 4, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "Fight! For everlasting love and peace!" (BWHAHAHAHAAAA!) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6) and gets 4. (That makes up for every one of the 8s I rolled last week) [You enter a partially underground cellar. About six stairs lead into a large room of brick walls and a concrete floor. There's a desk with a computer at your end of the room, a boiler on the right side, and a couch and TV on the left. ] [There's also several boxes which are scattered about. At the far end of the room, Katie is sitting on the floor near a bunch of pipes. Much closer we've got a beaten Tenjirou holding a gun, a harried Haruko holding a Saki, a heavily injured Saki lying on the ground holding her chest, and a Ryo Shinjo, holding his head high.] ( Then unpause and roll init! ) d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (d6+6) and gets 8. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (d6+7) and gets 11. d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (d6+6) and gets 8. d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (d6+6) and gets 8. d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (d6+6) and gets 7. * Satoshi looks stunned for a few seconds. [Init is: Taki, Ryo, Saki, Kaede, Katie, Satoshi, Tenjirou, and Haruko.] * Taki glances over the room but freezes when she spots Katie, ignoring everything else in the room. * Taki takes her action to teleport across the room to Katie. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6) and gets 4. (DRing that for my own sanity) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6) and gets 8. * Kaede looks over the whole situation, his gaze looking from person to person. Suddenly it all starts to click together as he looks at Tenjirou first. "You I should have expected, but.." His eyes narrow even more at Ryo. "This one's a surprise. It's been a long while, Ryo." (hold action) * Haruko calls out. "She was beating the white haired guy, I think heirophant tricked us, but the other evil!" She focuses on building her shield now that she's done moving Saki. She tries to protect the two of them from Ryo. (Damn straight, Haruko told you to expect him. :P [Tenjirou scowls. "Figures there's always more than one." He looks at Haruko. "Be a dear and kill them if they try anything."] [Ryo smiles "Yeah, it... ah, hey!" He flings a bolt of dark energy at Taki as she vanishes. "Don't you be trying nothing!"] 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6-2) and gets 1. [Taki evades! The bolt passes through where her head was an instant ago and blows a big hole in the wall.] ( Waiting on Sato ) * Satoshi looks angry. No, seriously. He does. "Explain what the hell's going on here before I make you." [Next round!] ( You're making me angry. You wouldn't like to see me when I'm angry.) (Exactly!) (Are there any tables around?) (Or lampposts?) ( Boxes! ) (Oooh, boxes! I wonder what's in them!) (Break them open by smashing them on their heads!) * Taki lookes at Katie and simply asks, "Where?" (holding action untill responce from Katie or realization that she can't respond.) * Haruko looks unhappily at Tenjirou but moves her shield so it protects him instead. "Look, I can work this out, just get out of here, I think he ::looking at Ryo:: is a seriously bad guy." * Kaede looks at Ryo calmly, Haruko's words washing over him. "I think that's fairly confirmed. He's Sho's brother." (Haruko was speaking to Tenjirou, for the record) * Satoshi folds his arms. "I'm not gonna leave here without any of you, and I'm not leaving until I get an explanation! So explain!" He glares at Sho and Tenjirou. [Ryo shrugs. "Pfft. So what?" He flings another bolt at Taki.] 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6-2) and gets 7. * Kaede sighs and draws the wrench out of his coat, closing his eyes. "Fair enough..." He starts drawing the familiar electrical energy crackling down the length of the old bike-repair device. * Katie looks numbly up at Taki. She must have been crying... or something. Her hands are cuffed around a pipe running from the floor to the wall, and she's dirty and has a repulsive smell. A metal circlet is around her head; probably not comfortable. At all. 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6+2) and gets 7. * Katie whispers dryly, with just a faint hint of her voice, "Taki?" She blinks. "Free me." [Fssk! Taki gets hit by the bolt in the back, causing her to stagger into the wall. The pain itself isn't so bad. What's bad is how her sight leaves her.] * Katie winces. * Taki starts to nod and then screams as she gets hit and staggers, she flials her arms trying to find Katie again. Taki! Tenjirou points his gun at Kaede and Satoshi. "Ah ah, no you don't. Actually, I don't care if you do or not." He fires! But the bullet PTANGs! Off the door frame.] 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6-3) and gets 1. [Meanwhile, Kaede hears a foot land in a puddle behind him, and has the sense to move just in time before he can be grabbed by a newcomer, a muscular man with somewhat spikey hair.] [Next round!] * Satoshi dives for Tenjirou, hoping to tackle and pin him before he can get another shot off. 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-1) and gets 3. * Haruko keeps the shield up to defend Tenjirou. "Please, don't they aren't bad guys." 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6) and gets 5. [Satoshi is halted by a water shield.] (I can't dive through it?) (Nope. :P) [Tenjirou aims at Satoshi. "Are you joking! Look what he just tried to do to me!" He fires!] (You realize I hate you now. ;p) (;_;) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6) and gets 6. (Although if I were somewhat awake, I might have though of that. But, hey, whatever.) Well you're shooting at him. It makes it hard for him to realize what a good guy you are. * Taki fumbles around, "Katie!? Where are you! I can't see!" [Satoshi gets shot! But not really badly; his shoulder gets grazed.] * Satoshi winces. ~Haruko! Snap out of it!~ (And that's gotta hurt her ears, but not as bad as all these gunshots. >_>;;;;) ~Snap out of what?~ ~Why isn't he listening?~ ~This is horrible, we shouldn't have gone~ ~He's so beautiful while he shoots~ ~Need to get him safe so I can help Saki~ * Katie coughs and tries to speak up, managing a half-whisper. "Here. Taki." [Ryo, meanwhile, looks up to the new guy. "Hey there. We've got a slight problem, but don't worry. We'll mop it up and then, whaddya know, more for you!" He aims his hand at Saki and grins at Kaede. "Whatcha think? Care about this bitch at all?" ~*Think*, Haruko!~ * Kaede looks at the new comer. Without really paying too much attention to who, he swings his electrified wrench at him. He attacked first after all. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6-4) and gets 5. [The man is hit! And electrified! And looks at Kaede like he's an ant, before throwin a punch at him. "You were never supposed to be caught, Shinjo. This is pathetic."] 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6-3) and gets -1, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "A WINNER IS YOU!" (^_^) (GO KAEDE! ^_^_v) (GO KAEDE!) (MAKE HIM RESPECT!) [Kaede ducks under his punch and slams his wrench into the man's ribs! ... and he doesn't seem to care.] * Haruko doesn't seem to be responding to Satoshi's orders ~Just get them and run~ ~I should never have let us go~ ~What about the rest in the basement~ ~Ooh, If everybody leaves we'd be alone~ ~Gah, Not the time~ ~Rest in the basement?~ [Next round!] * Kaede tsshes and gets a good look at the man, stepping back. "Big man abducting defenseless high school students." He eyes Ryo. "And you...she's just as defenseless right now...leave her." ~Several girls on the site, not just Katie~ ~We're screwed, we're so screwed~ ~Please just go~ ~Kyon trusted me and I ruined it~ ~But find the others, and get Katie~ ~But don't hurt him~ * Taki reaches for the sound of Katies voice, "I'll get you out. I'll get you out." * Satoshi sends to Kaede: ~There are other girls in the basement!~ * Kaede thinks, rather loudly in reaction, so even if Satoshi's not trying, he probably picks it up. ~There's *WHAT?!?*~ * Satoshi gives up on trying to get through Haruko's shield and instead dives for Ryo. 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6-1) and gets 6. ~Girls from the site, Haruko says!~ (...) (The last to Kaede.) 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-1) and gets 10. (And no.) [Tenjirou fires again at Satoshi. "No you don't!"] [He hits a poor defenseless brick.] (Conclusion: The only reason Tenjirou ever hit Saki was because Haruko helped him. >.>;) (^^;) [And Ryo steps to the side, evading Satoshi's tackle. "Guess that answers that." He fires a black bolt, causing Saki to writhe in pain.] [And the big man walks into the room, pretty much ignoring Kaede, fully taking in what's happening here. "Ahh, so you caught her." He gestures at Saki. "Thorn in my side. Make sure she doesn't leave here alive." ( That everyone? ) (Oh, crap, I just realized who that is...) (You JUST did? :P) (Think everyone did. :P) ( It is! ) (Ha!) [Next round!] * Taki continues her fruitless search for Katie, it's quite pathetic, and she's started to cry. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6-2) and gets 6. (Hey, you can agree that I have no brain. ;p) (;_;) * Satoshi lashes out with a foot, trying to trip Ryo. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-2) and gets 1. (dicy wants us all to take a dirtnap ;_;) (Oh wait, I've got the people in that reversed, GO SATOSHI!) * Haruko practically cries. "Dang, get Taki to Katie and port out of here, I'll be okay, if the others are in the basement we don't have the power to save them!" She keeps the shield up to defend Tenjirou * Kaede growls at Ryo and mutters. "You..." He clenches a fist and looks at Ryo. "..bastard." He starts to crackle all over his body with electrical energy. "You utter..." he looks at Ryo suddenly. "bastard!" His body bursts into dozens of lightning bolts, flying at Ryo at shocking speed. (shocking speed. Ha.) (Bzzap!) (I need awesome Judgementy powers or something.) (Kaede the Bug Zapper!) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6-2) and gets 5. (Me too! 'Cause I'm really Judgement.) [Ryo gets tripped! And Electrocuted!] (I'd say it sucks to be him but, eh, nah.) (Nope.) [He hurriedly gets back to his feet.] (Man, where's Tux Shamrock when you need him?) * Kaede reforms right after he goes through Ryo, kneeling on his feet and blinks his eyes open. "What the hell was...oh nevermind." [Tenjirou, meanwhile, turns around and fires at Taki. "We went to a lot of trouble to get her. You're not going to take her now." ] 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6+2) and gets 7. [Taki gets shot in the leg!] * Haruko looks somwhat impressed, but focuses on other things. "Takeuchi-san! Get Taki to Katie and Saki and run! She can't do it on her own!" * Taki screams again, "NOOOO!" [The big man goes over to Saki, and picks her up by the throat. "At last, I'll finally be rid of you."] 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6-4) and gets 6. * Kaede looks at Haruko and calls out. "How do you expect me to.." He looks over at Saki. "Damn it.." He yells as he draws his wrench again, still sparking. "Taki! I'll hold off Ryo. Either you get Katie out of there or get Satoshi to rip those damned cuffs off..." (Can I get to Katie?) She's injured and acting like she can't see you idiot! Guide her! * Katie blinks, then looks around, and her gaze turns to the door. * Kaede looks over at Haruko. "As if it's that easy. You DO realize there's two people shooting at us right now, right?" [And suddenly there's a giant green claymore quivering in the wall, next to Katie's head. Some weird metal headband she had on falls off.] That's chariot, you can't win! Run! Whistling. Saki- * Katie screams and starts coughing, her eyes squeezed shut. A fierce wind immediately picks up around her. (There he is!) [Next round!] (Tuxedo Ry- err, Shamrock! You came!) * Taki moves twords Katie's wind, she's going to find her and get her out. * Haruko keeps valiantly defending Tenjirou. * Kaede glances at Katie, then blinks, edging towards Katie. "That's right...Taki! Follow the sound of my voice." He whistles as he backs towards Katie, keeping an eye on Ryo and glancing from Satoshi to Saki. * Katie grits her teeth and concentrates as best she can. The wind whistles and becomes almost solid, slicing through behind the pipes. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6) and gets 6. (Or she could up and save herself. Go you.) [Katie slices her handcuffs off.] * Satoshi grabs the nearest heavy blunt object and attempts to smack Ryo with it. 2d6+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6+1) and gets 6. (Thanks Katie. -_-) 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-3) and gets 2. [The big guy suddenly swerves around, throwing Saki at Kaede. The two collide in a heap.] (Well, could be Ryo or Tenjirou still but..) (...or that. @_@) (Welcome. ;P) [Satoshi beats on Ryo with a chair!] * Kaede winces as the electricity on his wrench winks out. "...well. That's one way to get her..." (Boxes, tables, Tenjirou... whatever's handy, really. Or chairs. Chairs are good.) Power surpressors! They've invented power supressors! Now run! [Ryo looks very put out. He runs towards the door.] * Haruko looks briefly impressed. And then disturbed again cause the situation is so bad, but then happy because Ryo is running. Not without you! * Satoshi runs after Ryo! * Katie pulls her hands free and stumbles to her feet, propping herself up with a hand on the pipe. "I'm up, Taki. And-" Her gaze hardens, and she pushes a hand towards Ryo, the wind picking up around her again. (Okay, so that's slightly confusing. But I think they'll get what he meant.) * Haruko shakes her head. "Once he's safe I can go. But you can't beat Chariot! We've got to run." [But Tenjirou doesn't. He grabs Haruko and puts the gun to her head. "Alright! Enough of this."] * Satoshi whirls around. ~Haruko! Go liquid! Now! He wants to kill you!~ ( "My hostage!" "No my hostage!" "I wanna be Tenjirou's hostage!" "See?" "Cheater." ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (2d6) and gets 5. (*laughs* I can so see that.) * Taki stops he searching for Katie, "Wwhat's hapening!?" * Taki rubs at her eyes too since we seem to have fallen out of init. [Next round!] * Taki rubs at her eyes some more. (total deff.) * Haruko looks pretty damn worried. "Go!" ~He won't hurt me.~ ~I mean it's real, go~ ~What if the other one would hurt me~ ~Damn, what's going to happen to the car, it's to good to leave here~ ~He wouldn't let him hurt me.~ [The big guy turns towards Katie. "Hmm? Damn it, can't you do anything right?" He starts over towards her.] * Satoshi tries one last time. ~Haruko, do it!~ And he runs after Ryo again. * Kaede tries to get up and lift the unconscious Saki..or at least get her off him. Good luck on that. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6) and gets 7. * Katie backs away from the big guy. She turns her steely gaze to Haruko, and the air around Tenjirou stirs, slicing towards his gun hand. [Ryo pulls ahead of Satoshi and runs a bit faster, out the door!] 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6) and gets 8. (DR1) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6) and gets 11. (DR2) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6) and gets 10. (... Okay, I wasn't meant to make that.) (Now you know how I feel right now >_>) (Oh, shush. ;P) [There's a rush of wind that messes up Haruko's hair. Oh no!] * Katie winces as it doesn't work and clutches her head with her free hand. "What do you *want* with me?" She's probably talking to the big guy. [Tenjirou turns so he can see everyone. "Try it again and I'll blow her brains out."] [Kaede moves Saki off him. It's not like she's resisting.] [Now, Next round!] * Satoshi keeps chasing Ryo. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6) and gets 11. * Kaede gets up and looks down at Saki, looking over at Ryo. He stands over Saki protectively but doesn't make a move..yet. [Satoshi stumbles on the last step. He catches himself, but Ryo pulls well ahead.] Damn it! * Katie keeps backing away from the guy. She looks haunted, for lack of a better term. "What do you want?" * Taki can see again! and more importantly she can see Katie and Haruko, "There's no time!" He advances! Gosh, he's close now. "You. All of you will do." * Taki runs at Katie as fast as she can with a hole in her leg, and if she can reach.... You can't beat Chariot, and he's going to kill me if you try anything, just take Saki and Katie and go! * Katie edges back and around so she doesn't run into a wall. She glances, taking in her surroundings. "Do for what?" The wind starts to swirl again. Look, he's probably using us to make the drugs or something. Stop asking questions and go! * Kaede glances at Haruko. "But...right." He tries to prop Saki up on his shoulder and drag her closer to Katie so Taki can get a quicker teleport. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6-2) and gets 4. * Taki reaches Katie and tries to grab her arm, and blurts out, "havetogosaveyoucomebackHarukonotime." [A fierce wind picks up. The big guy takes a step back and holds his arm in front of his face.] 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6) and gets 10. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6) and gets 5. * Katie lets Taki grab her if she wants. * Haruko blinks. "Grab the headband too!" She then blinks again. "No, ignore me, just go!" (I touched her! I touched her! I'm never going to wash this hand again!) [Tenjirou pulls the hammer back on his gun. "Doesn't anyone listen anymore? You teleport, she loses her brains!"] * Katie winces. "Taki-" 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6) and gets 12, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "Maybe you should consider sacrificing some barnyard animals?" * Haruko blinks and just closes her eyes. She stops talking. We can't go. Taki. * Taki closes her eyes, and starts to shake again, "Turn to water Haruko, please turn to water..." * Kaede looks at Tenjirou and tsshes a little, tossing Saki near Katie as gently as his frustration will allow... [Tenjirou cries out suddenly, dropping the gun. A big ol' claymore flew across the back of his hand, embedding itself in a box behind him.] * Kaede then pushes up his glasses and looks at Haruko for a moment, but...stops at the flying claymore. Uh...yeah. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6-3) and gets 5. [And Kaede throws Saki. He also has a whoooooole lot of blood on his hands and clothes now, too.] * Taki takes the noise as her cue and vanishes with Katie. * Katie turns to Tenjirou, holding one hand out towards him, when Taki grabs ahold of her. (and Saki if she gets there.) (I suppose) (But she's leaving Kaede behind obviously. :P) * Haruko rushes over to Tenjirou to protect andhelp him. "Either run or put the headband on Chariot! It might mean he can be beaten." [Taki and Saki vanish!] * Katie drops her hand and *runs* for Tenjirou, snatching the gun up from the floor. * Kaede gives Haruko a steady look and pushes his glasses up, raising one hand towards Haruko and concentrating closing his eyes. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (2d6) and gets 11. (dr) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (2d6) and gets 4. * Katie aims at him with both hands. They shake a little, but she holds it mostly steady... must be an American thing. "" 2d6+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6+1) and gets 8. (Or a british thing too) * Haruko breaks her run when Tenjirou gets hit, she shakes her head for a moment before shaking it off. She then runs to try to grab the headband on the ground. She's quickly getting pretty angry though. "I shook it, let's run! We can castrate and headband him later." * Kaede looks up at Haruko for a moment. "I was right...that one time with Sumire..." He puts his hand down. "Nevermind." He heads quickly for the door. * Katie snaps, "Why don't we just kill him now?" [The big guy rushes at Katie! "Someone's going to die."] (Haruko get to the headband?) ( Yep ) * Kaede calls behind him. "Katie, come on!" He stops. "You're not...why aren't you coming?" 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6) and gets 6. (I'm not coming because I already used up my movement and action for this turn. ;P) [He tackles Katie to the ground!] (And because of that.) * Katie yelps and pulls the trigger as she falls, likely not injuring anyone with the shot and ending up painfully on the ground. [Tenjirou makes for Katie, too, or more specifically the gun. Katie's shot destroys a poor innocent light.] [Next round!] * Haruko glances at the headband to see if it's intact as she runs at Chariot to try to put it on him. "Get the gun Kaede!" 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6-3) and gets 7. (Did I let go of the gun? @_@) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6) and gets 3. * Taki totaly fails to reappear. ( No, but you can't exactly aim it. ) [The head band is not intact; it was destroyed by a big freakin' claymore.] (That's fine. If Tenjirou's stupid enough to get in front of the gun, I pull the trigger. :P) * Katie grimaces and tightens her grip on the weapon. She struggles. (Okay...then Kaede can do his ^_^) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6-2) and gets 7. * Kaede stops at that and glances at Katie before shouting out. "You...get off her!" He jumps on Chariot's back and tries to press the wrench against his throat to strangle him. If he can't be hurt then at least maybe he can suffocate to death. (I'd like to point out that yes, Kaede is insane.) (You THINK?) [A fierce wind pushes the guy from beneath, but he manages to keep hold of her. Kaede fails to get on him.] [Actually, he doesn't ignore him, he tries to plant an elbow in his head.] [And Tenjirou grabs at the gun, pulling weakly.] (Man, the Chariot is flexable. @_@) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6) and gets 7. * Haruko rushes towards the group while tossing the headband out the door. She seems to be contemplating something. [Next round!] * Haruko rejects the idea and goes to pull off Tenjirou. She makes clear not to get in the path of the gun. "SUrrender Tenjirou or she'll kill you." 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6-3) and gets 6. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6) and gets 12, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "Don't blame me. Blame yourself, or God." * Kaede lands and growls, trying again. He's got to get Katie loose at all cost. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6) and gets 11. (...) (...) (...) (>_>) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (2d6-2) and gets 5. * Taki reappears right where she was standing before, "Katie!" * Kaede huffs as he misses again. "Dammit Taki, get her out of here. I don't care about Tenjirou any more. He's a maggot. Worse than a maggot." ( In fact, he's maggot food.) (More like the other end.) (If Katie were played by Arnold. :P) (Snerk!) (No, that'd be the line when she killed him.) [Haruko grabs hold of Tenjirou! Kaede fails to grab Chariot!] * Katie keeps struggling. She actually tries to aim at Tenjirou and fails. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6-2) and gets 4. Taki port her! Kaede if you can get him, I'm free of that scum. [Woosh! This time Katie pushes the big guy off her. Angrily, he starts marching towards again, casually thorwing a backhand at Kaede as he goes by.] * Haruko 's eyes widen. "Nice work!" 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6-3) and gets 6. [And Tenjirou tries to kick Haruko in the shins. "You do what I tell you, bitch!"] [Ouch! Haruko gets kicked in the shins. It hurts!] * Taki starts running twords Katie, "Later! We can't fight them now!" [Kaede gets backhanded. That hurts too. But he doesn't really notice it as he loses consciousness.] * Katie scrambles to her feet and backs away from the Chariot. "I'm not leaving anybody. Get Kaede." * Kaede just sorta...slumps. * Haruko grimaces and then grins. "I hope you've enjoyed what passes for your manhood. Cause we're going to find you after this." Come here! Everybody at once! * Taki stops runing and halfheartedly moves twords Kaede. * Haruko then sees Kaede go down. She then puts up her shield to block off the attackers. "No. I can escape, I'll hold them off til you port!" ["Not before I cut off your boobs, bitch."] 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6+2) and gets 7. * Haruko shakes her head, she keeps holding Tenjirou. "You three go, I can get out on my own easy." [Next round!] * Haruko is probably a bit seperated by now, so it'll be faster if they don't have to get to her. * Haruko holds Tenjirou until there's teleported escape, then she goes liquidy. * Taki moves a little closer to Kaede, "Katie, please..." [Tenjirou doesn't just wait, though. He throws a punch at Haruko.] 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (2d6-3) and gets 5. [Meanwhile, the big guy makes a grab for Katie.] (Good lord, can't even act.) [Haruko is slugged in the stomach!] 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6) and gets 9. ( Well, technically they have higher init ) [Chariot grabs hold of Katie!] * Haruko groans. * Taki takes up her run twords Katie again and tries to make her own grab, "Notleaving without you AGAIN!" 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6-3) and gets 3. * Haruko once she can act again, gives up on holding Tenjirou and goes to liquid form, slipping a bit away from Tenjirou, but mainly closer to Kaede. "Katie! Just go, I can shield Kaede and Taki will come back!" * Katie whimpers. "Not again. I'm not letting them do this again!" Taki fails her teleport, and the wind rushes angrily around her. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6-2) and gets 1. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6) and gets 3. * Haruko then switches back to human form, once she gets the chance, and grabs Kaede and tries to pull him out the door. She just tries to drag him for simplicity sake. [A blast of wind pushes both Taki and the big guy away.] [Next round!] * Haruko does that grabbing Kaede and getting him out thing. [Tenjirou makes a break for the door!] * Haruko makes no effort to stop Tenjirou. [Chariot goes after Katie! This time he throws a punch at her.] 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6) and gets 4. * Taki goes right back for Katie, trying to get to her first. [Katie avoids the punch!] * Katie has since pushed herself to her feet, and she aims at Tenjirou and just fires at the bastard's retreating back. "" (Come on.) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6-2) and gets 9. (There is no god.) [There is no god! Katie misses!] (Yes there is, and he wants Katie to not have a murder rap) (I already HAVE ONE.) ( Too late! ) (That was self defence) (And this isn't?) (So was this. You saw it, he was coming right at her. :P) (he's running away) (He was just, y'know, running backwards) * Taki tries to wrap both arms around Katie, and is crying and shaking as she speaks, "Have to go, please, let go." * Katie takes a breath. "Outside." She doesn't resist. * Haruko pulls Kaede out the door, and pausing only to grab the headband again and sticks it in one of Kaede's pockets while she goes. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6-3) and gets 8. (...) (Have I mentioned recently that there is no god?) (THAT GOES FOR YOU TOO.) (Isn't outside within range) (I'd guess so.) (Y'know, the safe range) (Shhh! >_>;;) (THere is no God, but there is a rules lawyer. :P) [Next round.] * Haruko works on dragging Kaede to the car. * Taki takes a shakey breath and tries to teleport Katie again. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6-3) and gets 5. (How many rounds is Haruko from getting to the car with Kaede? For the record.) [Haruko drags Kaede outside, only to see Tenjirou running, when who should appear around the corner but the savior of the hockey team?] * Satoshi swings at Tenjirou. Hard. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-2) and gets 3. [And the big guy comes out, too, and takes a swing at Haruko.] 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (2d6-3) and gets 4. (I was gonna say. I don't think you want Haruko blocking that.) [Haruko dodges! Satoshi slugs Tenjirou hard; he goes flying back, collides with a wall, and stops moving.] * Haruko keeps trying to get Kaede to safety. "I'll get him to the car!" [Next round!] [Charior throws a kick at Haruko's back. "No you won't!"] 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (2d6-3) and gets 6. [Whack! Haruko falls flat onto the lawn.] * Satoshi looks really damn angry now, and he picks up Tenjirou and uses *him* to swing at Chariot. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-3) and gets 3. [There's a loud cracking sound as Tenjirou's body collides with Chariot. Judging from the way Chariot doesn't even budge, it wasn't from him.] (Yay, improvised weaponry.) [Next round!] * Haruko falls takes another hard hit and looks fairly bloody and broken, but that doesn't stop her from trying to get Kaede out off there. She tries to keep behind Satoshi as she does it. ( And hearing checks, +4! ) 2d6+4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (2d6+4) and gets 10. * Satoshi drops Tenjirou and moves between Chariot and Haruko. ~Okay, Haruko, let's get out of here.~ 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6+2) and gets 12. ~I can drag him to the car~ ~Hit him with the car, no, won't work, total waste too~ ~Or get the car and drag them here~ ~I hope to Kami Katie finally left, we can't beat this guy~ (How long will it take Haruko to get to the car, assuming not interrupted?) [The big guy shrugs, and takes a swing at Satoshi instead.] ~I can't lift cars, first of all.~ ( Mmm, this round. ) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-2) and gets 10, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "My momma always said, you gotta take the good with the bad. Have a little bad." (...) (...) (...) (THIRD. That's the THIRD one TONIGHT!) (Who, exactly, did I piss off?) ~I can drive them~ ~I'll drive it fast, real fast!~ ~No, almost there~ 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6-3) and gets 3. * Haruko gets Kaede's broken body to the car and pushes him into the passenger seat before she gets in. [POW! Satoshi gets slugged so hard he spins all the way around and falls to the ground. He nearly blacks out, too, but remains conscious.] * Taki appears in front of the car, and blinks once at Haruko in surprise, and then looks terminaly confused as her knees give way and she collapeses. * Satoshi falls. Hello, ground. How are you? [Next round!] ( Oh, hearing checks again, +2! ) 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (2d6+2) and gets 10. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6) and gets 9. * Haruko puts the shield up to defend Satoshi while he's on the ground. "Get back here! Fast!" (She's not being grappled any more. :P) (Hopefully Chariot goes for finishing people and has a lot of confidence in his strength) * Satoshi slowly pushes himself upright and staggers to the car. [Chariot grins but it suddenly fades. "...Unh. You people are really lucky." He starts to walk off, then stops, glances at Tenjirou, and grabs his leg.] * Haruko doesn't wait, she lets the shield drop, grabs Taki and throws her in the back seat of the car and then starts the motor. ( Hotwiring roll! ) 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6-1) and gets 6. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (2d6-3) and gets 4. * Satoshi opens the door to the other side and semi-falls in, making sure *not* to land on Taki. [The car starts! Meanwhile, Chariot gets in his own car, after tossing Tenjirou in the back seat.] ( Hearing checks! ) * Haruko goes to work with the tools she left in the car and her eyes light up when the engine revs. She then drives out of there, she keeps to safe speeds for the moment until she gains her bearings. 2d6-2 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-2) and gets 8. * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (2d6) and gets 11. [You get out of there! Chariot takes a different route.] (Don't look at me, I can't even try) * Satoshi slumps in the back seat. "Oh, god." * Haruko heads towards Satoshi's apartment for now. "Try to wake up Taki, we need to know where Katie and Saki are." * Satoshi gently shakes Taki. Gently. His own head is still ringing pretty soundly. ( Unconscious people can wake up to talk, but are too weak to do... well, anything else :P ) * Taki gets shaken, and stirs a bit, "have...to get...Satoshi...." I'm here. Where are Katie and Saki? Room...get you there...find Haruko...get her... We're here. Me and Haruko and Kaede. Where are they? * Kaede just manages a groan. Not much else. * Taki blinks a few times, "Katies...room?" * Haruko keeps headed towards Satoshi's for now. Obeying laws. Don't want to get pulled in a bloody stolen car with two unconscious, two nearly unconscious, and only three days from retirement! Her house? * Haruko then turns in a different direction at the next intersection. Okay, maybe not the retirement thing. * Taki nods ever so slightly and closes her eyes again. Her house. (Did Katie's house have a garage?) (If it didn't before, it does now!) (Yeah, but we never got around to looking in it.) (It does. A one-car garage, but.) ( There's no car in it ^^ ) (Nah. We're just parking in the living room.) * Haruko nods. "I heard. I'm going right in for Saki and Katie, you get the rest in. And thank you for holding him off, you saved all of us." * Satoshi sounds a bit woozy still. "Just doing my job. I think I broke Tenjirou, though." * Taki murmers something.. * Haruko intends, once there, to put the car in the garage and close the door. Wouldn't due to have this on display. ( You can get there whenever. ) * Satoshi gets out of the car when they arrive and carefully carries Taki to the house, then comes back and does the same for Kaede. * Haruko nods. "If he's the one that got hurt by this, I'm not going to lose any sleep. I can't believe I loved him." Haruko sounds disgusted with herself. You didn't. Not really. It was just a trick. A horrible trick, but don't even think for a second that that was really love. * Kaede finally come to as he gets carried in, speaking groggily. "Huh..wha..what happ...where's Katie?" * Haruko snorts. "Don't worry, I don't have any illusions to protect. It was just..." * Satoshi looks down at Kaede. "Inside. We're at her house." * Satoshi then looks back up at Haruko. "Was just?" * Kaede sighs and settles down. "...good...and everyone else...?" Here. And safe. * Haruko rushed in when she got there, tending to checking Saki and Katie and then working to stabalize everyone. * Satoshi is managing to have conversations with two people at once. The fact that one is barely conscious helps. ;p * Satoshi sets Kaede gently down and then just sits. * Haruko sighs in response to Satoshi's comment. "I never fell for it before, thought that since I didn't really believe in it I might be safe. I was wrong." He's strong. Though hopefully... * Satoshi seems to need a few minutes to figure out what he wants to say. "...hopefully it'll never be an issue again." 2d6 * Kaede mumbles and tries to move but...ow it hurts to move. "Had to think...Sumire...it happened before..." * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (2d6) and gets 9. [Well, for the sake of sanity... Session End!]
