[Day: Unknown. Time: Unknown.] [Weather: Cloudy and cool. Daytime!] [You just finished a fight with goons (a NASTY fight, in which several of them got burned, one made a dent in the side of a building, and.... well, let's just say I hope they have health insurance). Some guy showed up during the fight in the nick of time to save you! Well, not really; all he did was knock out one goon who was hurt already anyhow, but it's the thought that counts, eh?] [In case you forgot, he's tall and lean, with blond spikey hair and green eyes. Kinda handsome, nothing too special. He's wearing a white tank top under a red jacket (sleeves torn off), red fingerless gloves, a black choker, orange headband, red jeans.] [Session Start] * Haruko quickly starts checking over the goons to see if any need immediate care. [After what they just went through? Hell yeah <.<] * Satoshi eyes the guy in red. * SomeGuy smokes. Smoke smoke smoke. He eyes Satoshi back. * Taki blinks a few times as the fact there isn't anybody left who needs hitting. * Katie lets out a sigh and seems about to drop the knife, then catches her grip on it and sheathes the thing instead. "What was that about?" * Kaede looks over the guy and waves his hand in front of his face to fan away the smoke. * Haruko gulps a bit. "Katie, I could use your first aid kit or your help." She goes to work on the worst looking of the goons. * Katie looks over to Haruko and nods. She walks to the goons, plunks her satchel down, fishes the kit out of it and gets to work. * Kyon turns a bit to look at the guy sidewise, and jams his hands into his pockets. He smirks. "Injured ones are always the hardest." * Taki looks around and tries to figure out what to do next...Katie and Haruko could probibly use a hand, but she doesn't know how to help...so she continues to stand there looking lost and mostly asleep. * Haruko mixes conventional healing with the materials at hand and invoking her powers. She concentrates on stabalizing each goon and then moving on rather than waiting until all of her healing is used up. * SomeGuy takes his cigarette out, taps the ashes off, and sticks it back in his mouth. After a few seconds, he finally says (in a fairly thick accent). "So, mind telling me what a bunch of fools like you are doing here?" * Katie just patches them. No powers here. "We got lost," she says dryly. (What kind of accent?) ( Mind - linguistics! :P ) * Kaede goes to pick up his wrench and pushes his glasses up. He looks over at Katie and looks mildly disappointed for a second that her snappy comment came out before his snappy comment. 2d6 2d6-2 2d6-2 2d6 (Diceless!) (BOT!) (We need a dicey! * Dicesuke has joined #arcana 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (2d6) and gets 7. (Nope) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6-2) and gets 5. (Yep) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyon (2d6-2) and gets 9. (wait that's suppoesd to be -1 ^^;;; still made it) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6) and gets 7. 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6-1) and gets 6. 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-1) and gets 3. (Kaede just naturally knows his accents. He's just that good) [It's-a Italiano] * Haruko doesn't seem to be paying any attention to the guy for now. He might be a biker, but he's definately a smoker. * Katie looks up from the patch job to the guy. "What about you?" (afk a sec) It's different if you know what you're doing. Okay. Then what are you doing? * Kaede tries not to snort. * Katie stands now and faces him. "Besides saving some helpless kids from a crowd of thugs." * SomeGuy puts one hand on his hip and nods towards you. "Wearing school uniforms in this part of town. Not too bright." We're new in town. * Kyon rocks back on his heels, and shakes his head bemusedly. "And you're bright enough for us." * Taki nods and yawns. (back) * Haruko purloins Katie's first aid kit to help with triage while she's busy doing that communicating thing she's so good at it. * Satoshi just keeps looking at the guy. [Satoshi succeeds!] (Damn. I was hoping I'd critfail and end up staring at the dent in the wall. ;p) * Katie absently picks up her satchel, sans kit. "Well?" * Kaede glances at Satoshi, then over to the guy, folding his arms. "So, mind telling us exactly WHY it's not smart to wear school uniforms around here? Besides the obvious of making you a target of pointless bullies." And I believe she had a question for you too. * SomeGuy narrows his eyes. His response is to stamp out his cigarette and start another one. * Haruko moves on to one of the burn victims and shudders before getting to work. * Kaede waits. He's all about patience. * Taki apperantly decides that the guy isn't going to do anything sudden, and wanders back to Satoshi. * Kyon shrugs quickly. "Spend a lot of time here?" He looks around him before settling his gaze back on the guy. "Doesn't look interesting." Not unless you got nowhere else to go. * Katie puts her hands in her jaket pockets. She gives the impression that she's looking through, or past the guy. "So, are you going to tell us, or not?" * Taki mumbles something about wanting to go to bed now. * Kyon smirks. "Usually, when I run out of things to do, I go home." * Satoshi smiles briefly and sympathetically at Taki before turning his attention back to the guy. Good for you. * Haruko sighs and glances up at the guy, pausing in her work for the moments. "We seem to be getting off on the wrong foot." She does a little bow from her kneeling position. "My name's Haruko Kinsha, it's a pleasure to meet you. What would you like us to call you?" * SomeGuy looks down at Haruko. "Attitude like that'll get you killed around here." Or worse. What. Being polite gets you killed? * Kyon nods quickly. He rolls one of his shoulders quickly, and takes out his cell phone, trying to call up a map. Acting like an easy mark gets you killed. It certainly seems to be getting us nowhere. * Haruko shrugs and goes back to work. I thought it took actually being an easy mark to get killed. [Kyon finds his battery is drained.] * Kaede glances over at Kyon sideways. "What is it?" * Katie smiles faintly at Kaede's statement. "There is that. Would you mind telling us your name, then?" * SomeGuy turns to Kaede. "Well, I don't think YOU'LL have to worry about that." * Kyon shrugs quickly. "Checking for a map home. But battery's dead." Akito. * SomeGuy is now known as Akito * Kaede raises an eyebrow and then holds out his hand, palm up. * Satoshi blinks for a second. Aha. (To Kyon btw) * Haruko seems satisfied with the state of this burn victim for the moment and moves on to another one. (In case it wasn't clear ^^;) * Taki nods a few times, "Can we come back for the cryptic remarks and insults later? ...And find out where we got dumped now?" ( Aggh.... Can't... feel... my legs... Eh, good enough. ) * Katie nods. "Akito, then. I'd say it was nice to meet you, but-" She waves at the goons. "I guess it could have been a little less exciting." * Kyon nods quickly, and hands it over, moving his hand back to his pocket in a smooth movement after. * Haruko glances at Akito as she moves and comments in a less chipper tone. "So, you a biker or just go for that look?" * Kaede paces a little away from Akito, out of sight range and concentrates. * Akito shrugs at Haruko. "Not legally." * Haruko grins. "What'cha ride?" Usually a red Kawasaki * Haruko nods. "Matches the outfit, makes sense. A fast one I assume?" Yeah * Haruko is mostly looking at the person she's working on as she speaks, she does occassionally glance up though. 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6+2) and gets 6. * Haruko grins a bit more. "Good, shouldn't have that much red unless you're actually going fast. Handle all of his, err, her, maintenance yourself?" [Kaede activates the phone.] * Kaede walks back over and hmms to Kyon. "It was just a little low. Needed a bit of shaking...now...how do you call up a map?" He glances at Kyon. * Akito shrugs. "I keep it runnin'." * Kyon shrugs quickly, glancing off at Kaede, then back to the guy as he talks quietly. "Open the i-mode function, then ask for a map for the local area. One of the choices off the main menu." * Katie lets out a sigh and glances down at the goons. They're probably not waking up any time soon. * Kaede selects the options and looks at the map with a stifled yawn. [They're sure not.] * Haruko saves her widest grin until now and looks up. "Well.. if you want her sprinting than answer these moderately polite people's questions and I'll show you my real powers. Assuming you're willing to let me ride a bit." * Akito looks down at Haruko for a minute, then shakes his head. He stamps out his cigarette, too. * Haruko glances up after working on the guy some more. "What? Still too easy a mark? Should I demand a chance to drive too?" You shouldn't demand anything. * Kaede doesn't look up from the map. "Being overly friendly or pushy gets you killed." * Kyon reaches a hand out to Kaede for the phone. * Katie lets out a sigh. She looks over at Akito. "Okay, how about this. My name's Katie, and I'm the Page of Swords. Now. Would you mind telling me what you are?" * Kaede holds out the phone for Kyon. * Haruko nods. "Ah.. that makes sense I suppose." 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6) and gets 7. Five of Wands. * Taki leans on Satoshi and notes that for a guy who's been alive since WWII, could posssilbly destroy her mind, and is strong enough to break in two using only his fingers he's remarkably comfortable...or maybe she's just that tired right now. * Haruko comments fairly automatically "Queen of Cups. Though the ranks pretty guessable from the jacket." * Satoshi is leaned on. He doesn't seem to mind at all, and shifts his position a bit so she's more comfortable. * Kyon looks at the map, then around the area coolly. "Queen of Wands." * Haruko moves to her last goon, the least wounded guy who hasn't been attended at all and gets to work with bandages. * Akito almost laughs at that. He doesn't say anything, though. * Katie gives a tiny smile at his reaction. "If you don't mind telling me, what's a 'jackel'? Is that just their word for Arcana?" * Kaede shakes his head slowly and looks at Akito. "So you're from Serizawa?" In a way. It's a word for a gang of Arcana. * Katie blinks. "A gang?" She smiles in faint amusement. "I guess that works. Arcana tend to band together, don't they?" Usually a good idea. Well, that'd be why. Do you have one? I am one. Army of one, huh? Sounds like one of those commercials back in the States. * Haruko comments idly. "Still think we should become a biker gang." * Kyon pockets the cell phone, jams his hands back in his pockets, and looks off towards the easiest way home. "Met Sho? He says the same thing." * Katie barely keeps from giggling. "Really, Haruko." I'm a Jackel. Duh. * Kaede rolls his eyes slightly and leans against a wall. * Haruko grins up at Katie and comments in a rather light tone. "If memory serves, it was your idea." That and cowboy hats. Remind me later. * Katie turns her attention back to Akito. "I meant, do you have a gang? Other Arcana you stick around?" * Kaede slaps his hand over his face and grumbles, muttering under his breath. "I can just feel our credibility falling through the roof..." ... The other Jackels? * Katie nods. She doesn't react to Kaede's statement, though there's no doubt she heard it. (We have credibility?) * Haruko nods and starts cycling through the goons again, doing more patch up work this time, she snickers slightly at Kaede's comment. "See, this is why we need bikes, instant credibility." * Haruko glances up at Akito again as she works. "So, considering you haven't tried to bully us into joining or threatened to kill us just because, can I safely assume the Jackals are tough, but not particularly psychopathic or evil?" ... The hell kind of question is that? * Haruko shrugs. "I should probably leave the questioning to Katie." She focuses on her work agian. * Kyon smirks. "Really do work by yourself, if you're asking that." * Haruko whispers at a just for Katie as she looks down. "Feel free to offer healing services if you think it'd help. People rarely accept the offer, but who knows." * Katie lets out a sigh. "A Haruko question. Look, Akito. I know we don't really... know each other, but can you at least tell us what part of Tokyo we're in? Besides the bad one." Near Serizawa. * Kaede closes his eyes and leans against the wall, sighing. "I thought I meantioned that. No one listens." * Kyon wordlessly holds the cell phone out towards Katie with the map displayed. * Haruko gets back to work on one of the burn victims, she seems to have tuned out the main conversation. * Katie looks over at Kaede and Kyon. "All right. Thanks." So, two Queens and a Page. Who else? * Katie shakes her head. Why are you curious? Why not? Well, let's be fair about it. What else do you have in your gang? * Kaede slowly opens his eyes to look at him. "Well, I don't think you've shown any reason to trust you. Actually, you've shown quite the opposite." Dunno. * Katie shrugs. "Then neither do I." Except for the fact that you sort of helped in the end. When you weren't standing around watching amused." Whatever. * Kaede lets out a deep breath and adjusts his glasses. "But for now, I don't see a real reason to stay around here." * Kyon tucks the cell phone back in his pocket, and starts stalking off towards what the map said was the nearest way home. "Yeah. Whatever." * Kaede gets up off the wall and unfolds his arms. * Haruko moves on to the another burn victim and tries to estimate how much more time it'd take to get these guys to the point where an ambulence could safely take over. * Satoshi nods to Akito, then follows Kyon, gently guiding Taki along with him. [Haruko is about there.] (I *am* the strong, silent type!) ( Satoshi's a model goon. ) * Taki is lead. * Haruko calls out. "Need a bit more time, but I'm almost done with these guys." (At least I'm not a mook.) Take your time. * Kaede walks off in the direction of the Tower, since it's closeby. * Haruko moves on to the last goon. Not really noticing that everyone's wandering off. * Katie watches them walk off, then sighs to herself. She doesn't leave, though, sticking by Haruko. [You walk off! Towards the tower! Not a pretty part of town, is it?] * Satoshi looks around. "Shouldn't we wait for Katie and Haruko?" * Kaede adjusts his glasses then looks over at Kyon, somewhat glaringly. "Really now, was it necessary to light them on fire?" * Taki answeres a few seconds later, "...Yes?" ( Note he doesn't mention the dent in the wall o/~ ) * Kyon shrugs disinterestedly as he walks. "No reason to hold back." * Kaede looks over at Taki and rubs the bridge of his nose. "...do you WANT media coverage and everyone swarming in us? Honestly, you act as if it's perfectly normal to have these powers." * Taki blinks at Kaede, "I ment yes we should wait for Katie and Haruko..." * Taki yawns, "'sides, I've had mine since..." ( Suddenly a van screeches to a halt next to you! Two guys in white coats jump out! One holds Kaede down while another one stamps "NOT NORMAL!" on his forehead! ) (Grade A?) (Kaede is not normal? Gasp!) * Kaede rubs the bridge of his nose again. "Alright...we wait. But that still doesn't change the facts. We're NOT normal. We're not supposed to be public. What the hell do you think will happen if we do?" * Taki looks down at her feet, "...yeah..." Well, we don't have to worry about Judgement coming after us anymore. * Satoshi sounds a bit bitter. ( Now you just gotta worry about Judgement reversed and Black Judgement. ) (...don't make my head hurt like that.) * Kyon looks sidewise at Kaede as he walks. "You fight half-assed, you get hurt. It ended quickly." I didn't worry when Katie was supposed to be Judgment...maybe she still is... wouldn't it be funny if all three of them were right...no...no it wouldn't. * Kaede looks at Kyon and crinkles his nose. "You think I'm talking about just fighting? I'm talking about the powers in general. You get caught, you get people swarming after you, you won't even GET the chance to fight half-assed." ( Yes it would! :P ) * Kyon shakes his head again. "You want swarms? You need proof. There is none. People don't want to believe in special powers. All you get are tabloids." Or they could all be lying and neither of you is...that'd be nice... * Satoshi sighs softly. Now that they're not being attacked by thugs or having earth-shattering truths revealed to them, he's beginning to realize that he's very, very tired. It would be, yeah. * Kaede eyes Kyon. "Other Arcana would believe it if it ended up in tabloids. You want THAT out too?" * Kaede rubs the bridge of his nose and looks slightly at the ground. "I know you've got a brain in there, Sorata-san. USE it. [Kaede just happens to pass a tabloid stand. Elvis was sighted in Hiroshima with Kroga'ndaar, Queen of the alien Blaargs! They were on their honeymoon.] (...) * Taki yawns, "Remind me to ask Saki how she does it next time we see her." (You were saying something about credibility earlier, Kaede? ;p) * Satoshi looks down at Taki. "Does what?" * Kyon looks coolly down at Kaede. "Use yours. You think anyone who would attack me that'd be worth paying attention to wouldn't look into what I can do before trying anything?" He shakes his head irritatedly. "If only I could count on stupid enemies." (Instead of stupid allies?) So you want to leave a TRAIL instead? Lasted for sixty years without aging or too many people noticed. (I always count on stupid allies. =P) (Because he can't count on his stupid self. ) Oh. * Satoshi seems at a loss for further response. * Kyon shakes his head. "A bunch of thugs who will likely be far from rational when they wake up are not a trail." * Kaede eyes Kyon. "And you think no one could potentially be watching from the sidelines, hmm?" Temperance obviously knows our accounts and we never saw HER. ( 50 ninja jump out of the shadows and kill Kaede for noticing them! ) (;_;) (That's what you get for paying attention!) And what of the 5? You've no way of knowing how he would have took it or who his contacts are. [Along come Katie and Haruko. They're still alive!] * Haruko walks along with Katie. "So three Arcana in one day that actually are kind of helpful or nice. I think that's a record." * Satoshi notices Katie and Haruko and waves. (And she sees Kaede glowering dubiously at Kyon.) * Katie muses. "Well, at least not total jerks." She waves back. * Taki feels Satoshi move and looks up, she then waves at Haruko and Katie. So, are we going home? Do we have to follow a yellow road? And where's my red shoes? * Haruko gets out her cell phone. "We should call those guys an ambulence. They weren't good people, but even with my work I think they're gonna be in a hospital for a long time." * Kyon stops, and looks down at Kaede sidewise. "You met Temperance?" * Kaede doesn't notice Katie. Because he's too busy arguing with Kyon. * Kaede folds his arms across his chest. "Yes, though I really doubt the namesake." Home... would be nice. But it's more she met us and told us to stop throwing stuff around like crazy. And though I don't agree with her method or even the way she said it, she has a point. * Haruko checks if she can turn on her phone while looking around if a public one is available. * Taki nods, "I just want a bed...or a couch...or a nice soft carpet..." [Haruko's battery is dead.] * Katie just walks over to Kyon and taps him on the arm. * Haruko frowns. "No battery..." She keeps looking for a public phone or other means to call for an ambulence. * Kyon shrugs quickly. "If they know, then they know. Like I said. Anyone who's going to attack that's worth it will do research before trying something." He looks down at Katie. * Kaede hmmphs. "I expected as much. You disappoint me, though I'm sure you don't care." * Kaede walks off. Though slow enough that people can catch up to him later. * Katie holds out her hand. "Map." Kaede, if you're not walking to a subway station, you should probably stop. * Kaede looks over his shoulder and stops. "Why?" * Haruko sighs. "Could I borrow a phone or could you charge mine Kaede? Wanna make that call." Because I'm not following you to the Tower. I can't deal with more in one day. * Kyon tugs his phone out of his pocket, and recalls the map. I'm not a portable battery, Haruko-san. I'm already drained as is. * Katie takes a look. And I never asked you to follow me, Katie Andrews. * Taki nods, "Sleep now, Tower, cards, drugs, and everything else later." (Nearest subway station, GM?) * Haruko shrugs at Kaede's response, the '-san' doesn't phase her for once. "Could I borrow yours Kyon?" ( Two blocks ---> Thataway ) Oh, then. Keep going and have fun, Takeuchi-san. I'm going home. * Katie proceeds to do just that, heading two blocks thataway. * Satoshi follows Katie, presumably still guiding Taki. * Kaede sighs and goes towards the station for home. "Some White Day this turns out to be." * Haruko snerks at Kaede's comment. [You get to the subway. It's covered with grafetti.] And I STILL haven't given anyone chocolates... [Haruko sees one.] * Katie looks for the next sub home that isn't a sandwich. * Haruko smiles and rushes over to make a quick call for an ambulence for some injured people she happend to see. Ugh...I still have the revenge chocolate I was going to give out...oh well...This is nice. ::looks at Satoshi's gift:: [Katie finds a scheduel!] * Katie reads... the schedule! * Kyon clears the map, and tucks the phone back in his pocket. He looks bemusedly after Kaede before heading for the station. [Katie sees a list of the times the trains come. If she knew what time it was, this might help.] * Katie sighs. "Kyon? Look up the time?" * Haruko speaks into the phone. "Hello.. I was lost and walking around by [this] station and saw some guys that looked really badly injured... No, don't know who they are, but they should be pretty easy to find." ( Just look for the smoke! ) * Kyon tugs the phone out yet again, and holds the display down to Katie. * Katie checks the time. She's just that good. [It's 11:06 a.m. on Saturday, March 15th!] [Session End!]
