[Day: Saturday, April 23rd. Time: 11:45 a.m.] [Weather: Snowy.] [You've just gotten off the train. Woo. Yeah, that's all I got. Go before I have to change the time again.] We going to go straight there? * Katie goes! She is leaving the station and looking around, blinking snow out of her eyes. "" she says to herself as she pulls her jacket more tightly. * Taki looks at Satoshi. "Why not?" I don't know if anyone needed to hit home first. I don't. Oh. We're kind of in a hurry. * Kyon stands in the exit, looking at the snow with his hands jammed into his pockets. His jacket is still open. "Should just take the train over to the Tower, then." * Satoshi nods. [Boom! You're at the Tower.] * Satoshi walks out and heads towards the elevators. "I wonder if Akemi is here yet." * Taki follows Satoshi to the TOWER. I think we're using Taki. We didn't tell Akemi to be here, did we? * Kyon keeps his hands in his pockets as he stalks into the lobby, and towards the elevators. He shrugs dismissively. "We'll see when we get there." * Satoshi thinks for a moment. "Huh... I think you're right Katie. I guess I'm just getting used to having her help." * Kaede sighs. "You should never have to get used to people for help. You can easily take advantage of them." He looks over at Katie. "Should I call her then?" * Satoshi glances at Taki. "How tired are you feeling?" * Katie looks back at Kaede. If Taki is up for it, we can use her. * Taki shrugs. "I'm a little tired, but I've been worse. This is important." I already told Akemi we might have to use her for the Tower. * Katie nods. ( /me wonders if anyone remembers the little possible brain damage clause o/~ ) * Kaede glances at Taki. "Are you sure?" * Taki looks at Kaede. "No." * Katie shivers a little. * Kaede rubs the bridge of his nose. "I really would prefer we didn't have to ask anyone to do it in the first place." He flips open his phone and dials Akemi. It's too bad we don't know how we got there the first time. (Why yes, yes it does.) Reiji used the PEntacle, didn't he? * Katie nods. "I don't remember if that was to get into the World Reversed." Too bad he's not alert enough to be asked. Jin has to have a way to get there too. * Satoshi nods. "I am a little worried about him." I have been for a while. He just vanished. * Katie brushes snow off of her hair. * Taki nods. We should go inside. * Satoshi heads inside. "We could do a reading on how to best find Winston. Even if the Tower is the best way, we don't know where to go next." * Kyon nods curtly, and stalks over to the elevators. He pulls a hand from his pocket and jabs the button. "Can go down there first, if we need to do it." * Katie walks over to by Kyon and watches the shut doors. She's not nervous. Really. * Kaede walks in, phone to his ear. * Taki follows people into the ground floor of the tower. * Satoshi follows. [The elevator arrives with a *ding*.] * Satoshi gets in. * Taki waits to see if Sho's in it. * Katie peeks in, and assuming there's nobody there, enters and stands right by the doors, thank you. [Sho is not in it!] * Kaede talks into the phone. "Akemi? It's Kaede. I think...we might not need you to come down to the Tower afterall. But is there anything we should know?" [So you aren't murdered yet.] * Kyon steps in, and stands behind Katie, pressing the door open button while he waits for Kaede to finish. * Taki gets in stands near Kyon. Yeah. I can hand the phone over if you'd like. * Kaede walks in the elevator as he goes. * Katie reaches back and grabs Kyon's hand in a pseudo deathgrip. Pseudo because it doesn't actually kill him. * Taki blinks. "Shouldn't we wait for the call to finish?" (Grip of death, grip of death!) * Kaede sighs. "I think I'll hand it over anyways." He holds it out for Taki. "All yours." * Taki takes the phone. "Hello?" * Taki speaks into the phone. "You wanted to talk to me?" * Kyon looks down at Katie, his face blanching a bit, and he flexes his hand in hers. "Don't take too long. Elevator's going to start complaining." * Taki gets out of the elevator. * Katie doesn't look back at Kyon, still staring into the lobby. * Kaede sighs and closes his eyes. He's done his part. * Taki gives Kaede a blank look and then speaks into the phone again. "Is there something he wanted you to tell me?" * Satoshi frowns and steps out. "Go ahead. We'll catch up." He then stands a bit away from Taki so that he can't really listen in. I just want you to know what you're getting yourself into before you do it. * Kyon releases the door open button, and leans against the sideof the elevator. (And the door closes before Taki can respond to that. Sweet! * Taki turns to face away from the elevator. "Yes. I think he wants you to tell me what it's like when you send people through." * Satoshi just keeps an eye on the room. There's been a lot of fights here. Best to be careful. * Taki nods. "Ah. I hope The Cup helps then. I want to find out what's going first hand." * Taki blinks. "That would be bad. And I haven't seen him since the last time we were all together. Did something happen? I've been out of it for a while." * Taki nods again. "If we find out anything, I know Kaede will call you and tell you." Yes. And thank you for the warning. * Taki tilts her head. "Not if I pass out, no. I think you should come. This way you can tell Matthias yourself." I'm going first, so you should be okay. * Taki tilts her head the other way. "I must be misremembering last time, and I do think it's important, and that I don't know anybody else to ask." * Taki nods again. "Thank you Akemi." * Satoshi seems satisfied for now that they aren't going to be fighting random people. He relaxes a bit. * Taki hangs up the phone and looks at the people still waiting in the elevator. "She'll be here in half an hour." (Until we get down to just one ninja. Then we're in trouble.) How bad is it? * Taki just looks at Satoshi then. * Satoshi waits a bit to see if he's going to get an answer. Big headache, nosebleed, passing out, and possible brain damage. I shouldn't do this very often. How long before passing out? It depends on the person. Akemi does and Matthais doesn't. * Satoshi nods and summons a down elevator. "Then it's good that Akemi's coming. We should make sure someone is watching over you." (Can end whenever) * Taki shrugs. "It's hard to get there, and she might want to come along." Yeah, but we don't know how you'll handle it. We will find out when it happens. [Session End]
