[Meanwhile, Taki found Saki, who was spasming and being attacked by the demons. Ryuji was fending them off when Taki teleported to Sakuragaoka with Saki and also Izumi Hanagawa, whose currently gone to fetch some water.] [Taki managed to knock Saki back to her senses, but now Saki's complaining about something being wrong with her eyes and head. Oh boy.] [Start!] * Taki is currently sitting next to Saki on the roof of the school and such. She glances over at the door to the stairs and wonders when Izumi's going to get back. "Uhm, I brought Izumi here too... but she's getting some water... And... I know where the other you should be... and that's about everything." [Izumi returns with the water, carried in a beaker from the sience lab. She halts at the door when she sees Saki awake, though.] * Taki sees Izumi because it's not compleatly dark, what with that giant glowing Tower, and beckons her over. "Thanks, but, uhm... Saki kinda can't see." [Saki rubs her eyes. "No, I can. Sort of. But it's not right."] * Taki looks back at Saki. "What do you mean?" [She blinks a few more times. "It's the past. 70s, I think. I can see the past."] That's... bad. I don't suppose you spent the 70s learning how to fight without being able to see did you? [She chuckles. "Heh. Kinda. Only I was in America at the time."] I... I don't know how to help you... I mean I guess tha... * Taki looks over at Izumi. "Uhm... do you know how to do readings?" *** Katie has quit IRC (Excess Flood) [Izumi shakes her head.] *** Katie (ardweden@herring.sandwich.net) has joined the channel Uhm... some other way to find out what's happening to her? [Saki shakes her head. "Forget it," she says as she rises. "Just tell me where this person I'm supposed to kick the crap out of is."] * Taki looks back at Saki. "She... should be at a bridge... I'll take you there. If you're sure you're ready I mean." ["Ready as I'll ever be."] [Izumi fidgets. "Um, what should I do?"] * Taki looks at Izumi. "Uhm... If you're good at fighting I can take you along, but if you're not..." She trails off and looks over at the tower. "Everybody else is at the tower but it's kindofa long walk" [Izumi nods. "It's okay... I'll walk."] * Taki nods. "Okay, uhm... I kinda want to talk to you some more but I've probibly taken way too much time." Then she stands up and toches one of Saki's arms. "I guess we're going now." [Saki nods. "Right."] (Is Saki sitting or standing?) ( Standing ) * Taki waves to Izumi with her free hand and then goes poof if she makes this roll. (And she does. Teleporting to one end of the bridge.) [Taki arrives there, with Saki! It's dark, but sure enough there's a shadowy figure on the other end of the bridge.] [Saki staggars a bit. "Ok, where is she?"] * Taki whispers "There's somebody about {insert length of bridge here} ahead of us, but I don't know if that's her." Then much louder. "Hey!" (Stealthy? Me? Hell no.) * Taki does listen for responces other than the figure though. [The other figure moves towards you.] [Saki nods. "Right. I see the bridge, at least."] [She cracks her knuckles. "Not so bad. Just like fighting an invisible person. I can do that. I think."] * Taki nods. "Whoever's walking twords us." * Taki calls out again. "Who.. .who are you?" ["I'm... hungry." The woman dashes forward, and Taki gets a nice view of Saki before she's upon them. Gimme init rolls.] (Can I say something before my turn comes up?) ( Yes. ) *** Dicesuke (akodomakot@ip68-13-166-245.om.om.cox.net) has joined the channel It's her! ( Do rolls for this channel in here. Too much of a pain to cross reference. ) (Okay) (Should I reroll init or keep the 11?) ( Up to you. ) (I'll keep it) [Saki, Saki2, Taki, Extra] (Wheefun!) [Saki nods. "Right, I gotcha." She charges for the other woman and throws a punch wrapped with blueish energy. Promptly, she misses. The other Saki doesn't, though, slamming her in the gut so hard is lifts her off her feet.] (This will end in tears.) Saki! (Quick, Taki! Confess your love for her!) * Taki takes a few steps forward and then remembers what happened the first time she fought this Saki and stops. (Holding action) (Poor illusionary Shingo.) [Saki and not-Saki exchange blows again, with similar results!] * Taki calls out. "We can't fight her like this! We need more people! ...And maybe somebody to fix your eyes!" (Held again) [Saki steps out of reach from the other one as she strikes again, calling, "Yeah, that'd help!" ] * Taki teleports next to where the Saki's are now. "We'll come back." ( Gimme a hearing check ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6) and gets a natural 4 for a result of 4. (made exactly on body, by 2 if mind) [Taki hears a whistling sound from her left. One that gets rapidly louder.] ( Gimme ranged def! ) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6-2) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 4. (made by one) [Taki instinctively hops back, just in time as an arrow shaft whistles by where her head was an instant ago, striking the bridge.] [Meanwhile, Saki manages to dodge another attack, but isn't even getting an opportunity to strike back.] * Taki grabs for the less evil Saki. "They're shooting at us!" And then she tries to teleport the both of them to the tower. (unless you want that as two actions or something) ( Nah, but gimme a roll for it ) 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6-3) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 3. (Ding! Thankyou for flying Cups airlines.) [Taki and Saki arrive, much to the confusion of many people, most of whom I can't remember] * Taki looks around milling people for her group and doesn't see them. "Uh, hi... Uhm Is there anybody left here who can fight or heal? I found both of them, but somebodies messing with Saki's vision and somebody else has bow and it's not good good." (- second good) [The barrier is still up, so everyone's just mulling about. Hinako Arai scrambles up, though. "What happened? Did you defeat her?"] * Taki shakes her head. "No Saki's seeing the past and last time I fought with the other Saki one of my friends got beaten up real bad. We need help." [Hinako frowns. "But there's so few of us here..."] Please, anybody. ( Christ, I don't remember who's even there. ) (Akemi and Soleil were probably taken to the subway station.) (And I doubt Ryuji's there yet) (There's Matthias, Miho, Sumire, Takeo, Yorihisa...) (Those two Jackals I'm presently forgetting the names of.) (Senshiro.) [Roughly half the people offer to go, much to Hinako's dismay.] ( There :P ) (Remi, too! And Yuji. (I remember these things. It's kind of scary.)) [Takashi Ogiwara steps forward. "Well, if you need a fighter, I'll opt to go. I'm sure one person missing won't hurt too much, ey?"] * Taki looks at Hinako. "Uhm... if we can't beat the other Saki there being anybody here won't matter at all, right?" [Takashi nods. "My thoughts exactly."] [Hinako shakes her head but doesn't say anything. Meanwhile, Saki pulls herself to her feet. "Yeah, I want another crack at that too. I'm not done yet." ] And... Nobody else can heal? Right... I guess we're going back. I ... have to touch people to teleport them so... [Takashi nods. "Of course."] * Taki holds out one hand for him and touches Saki's arm with the other. "I'm going to drop you where the other Saki was... and then go look for whoever was shooting at me." [Saki nods. "Yeah, do that."] (What was to Taki's left before The riverbed, the road, or the buildings?) ( Buildings. ) (Glee) ( Well, the road ) ( but behind that was buildings :P ) (Okay!) * Taki waits for Takashi or anybody else to take her free hand so she can go. [Takashi does! Woo!] 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6-3) and gets a natural 3 for a result of 0. [He's hot, by the way. Electric hot.] * Taki winces and goes poof! Back to the bridge! [Yay! Session End]
