[Day: Unknown Time: Unknown] [After waking up in prison cells, MC was rescued by Eoi. Travelling through the complex, they reached an elevator with three unnumbered buttons. The middle one was flashing] [Session Start] ...gee. Did we want to go back the other way, or try the elevator? ( Your taxes at work, folkes! :P ) The elevator. I'll go first. Hide in the guardroom for... ten minutes, while I check the other floors. If I'm not back by then... you guys're on your own. ... You know, Shigeru would never forgive us if we let you get hurt. Try not to spook anyone, okay? We really oughta stick together. I'm not going to get hurt. I don't like this...sooner or later, you're going to go by yourself into a room that's protected like the cells. That's what people always say before they get hurt. * Chelsea frowns. I'll check back here after I take a quick look at the third floor, and again after the first. We can figure out where to go from there. * Sai sighs. I really don't like this. Trust me. Please. I don't either. But I think Mei-Yin can do this. * Chelsea nods at Mei. Fine. Don't get yourself killed. Good luck. Um. Just be careful. * Mei-Yin smiles. "I'm not gonna get myself killed, and I'm not gonna kill anybody, either. I promise." ( Too late! :P ) Well... anybody else. * Chelsea smirks. * Mei-Yin scowls. * Eoi frowns. * Mei-Yin steps into the elevator and jams the button for the third floor. me lets that pass. ( /me ) ( Erm... Is that the top button or the bottom button? ) ( The top button. ) ( And joine #Sneaky Mei. ) * Chelsea sighs, and starts testing the balance of the mop she picked up. [It's a very balanced mop. If there were an award given for the balance of mops, this mop would probably be a candidate.] * Chelsea is appropriately impressed by the very balanced mop. * Norii looks through the sights of the pistol, pointing it at an invisible target on the wall. * Sai leans against a wall and stares at the ceiling. [The elevator doors open.] * Eoi looks. * Chelsea looks, too. * Norii aims. * Sai looks towards the doors. * Mei-Yin steps off, de-stealthing. * Norii lowers. Whew. Pretty much the same thing up and down. Long way to the next floor, either way. Guard room just like this one, what we've got to choose from is a set of double doors and T-intersection. * Chelsea nods. Ok. Let's go. I'm thinking the double doors, but I'm not entirely sure. I think it's a craps shoot. [There's also the way right of the prison, in case you forgot. ] ( I didn't, but no one else seems to care. ) * Chelsea looks thoughtful. We _could_ go all the way back and take the other branch, I suppose, but I'm not sure about that, either. Well, better to finish exploring this floor and not have to come back. May as well, yes. * Mei-Yin shrugs. "Fine with me." Alright. * Mei-Yin starts down the hall in that direction. * Sai follows Mei. [Cue a spinning Kirby for transition. And suddenly, MC is back at the jail.] * Norii trots along behind. * Eoi walks carefully, looking for traps. (Kirbies. Why does it have to be Kirbies? ) * Chelsea glances around as she walks. She stays behind Eoi, since she knows he can take a hit well. ( Next time I'll use a bowl of sashimi. Happy? ) * Mei-Yin sneaks along well in front of the rest of the group. ( I... I love... ) [The hall near the jail curves to the right.] ( ...sashimi! Gimme! ) * Mei-Yin follows the curve. * Norii keeps an aim point close to the "horizon" of the curve as she inches forward. [The hallway continues in that direction for a good distance, with a T-intersection at the end. And a camera! Yay!] * Eoi moves slowly. * Chelsea follows, frowning to herself. * Mei-Yin scowls. * Sai walks along casually, but well behind Mei. * Mei-Yin goes backwards out of sight of the camera and stops the others. There's a camera, damnit. *** DemoShop is now known as Demota * Eoi stops. * Chelsea nods. * Sai stops. "Great." Hm. Not one of the ones you've disabled? Interesting. I doubt it. Sooo it's back the other way. *** CharleSleep has quit IRC (Ping timeout) Not necessarily. if I can find the controls for this one, I might be able to disable it. * Chelsea nods. ...your "stealth" works over video, even? Oh, wait, of course it does. * Mei-Yin moves forward and takes the left fork at the intersection. * Chelsea smirks and waits. * Sai folds his arms and waits. ( Back to the other channel, Mei ) This is an even worse idea. I don't know what else we can do. Of course it is. * Mei-Yin comes back around the bend. They're not paying much attention. Unless there's an automated alarm on it, if we make it quick, they may not notice. Yeah, but if their is an automated alarm, we're screwed. ( there. I'm tired. Gimme a break. ) Yuck. There are three guards, it's in a similar setup to the other one, where we read those emails. ...though I doubt very much there's anything automated. * Sai frowns. So what do you want us to do? Just run in there and attack them? I think that's what she's suggesting. I don't want anybody else dying. I could try the hostage thing, maybe, but I'm not sure. * Chelsea shrugs. "Better than waiting for them to notice us." Hostage? One of them, or one of us? * Mei-Yin scowls. One of them, of course. I am _NOT_ going to put a knife to any of your throats, and holding myself hostage would just be silly. I'd almost rather rush it. Take your pick, guys. At least give me a chance to go in before you guys, so I can try to keep them from tripping any alarm.s That works as well as anything... would there be a way to signal when they're not looking? * Chelsea nods. "That works." * Eoi frowns. "I'm really not liking this, but... ok." Not without getting their attention. Alright. How long do you want us to give you before charging in, then? Just gimme a couple minutes. * Chelsea nods. Sure. * Mei-Yin sneaks back around the bend, quickly getting into position. [Mei-Yin is gone, yup. No noise comes from around the corner.] * Norii shrugs. Well? Let's not keep her waiting too long. Hm. Now works. * Chelsea brandishes her, uh, mop. "Shall we?" I guess so. Let's rock. You first, Eoi. Quick and quiet. All at once, surely. Yeah, yeah. The human wall is away. * Eoi heads forward. * Chelsea follows close behind Eoi. * Norii sprints after the others. * Sai runs behind. [The guards look up as MC rounds the bend. Mei is nowhere in sight. Everyone roll init ^^] d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chelsea (d6+7) and gets 13. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Norii (d6+7) and gets 9. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (d6+7) and gets 10. d6+4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mei-Yin (d6+4) and gets 8. d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Sai (d6+6) and gets 11. [Chelsea, Sai, Eoi, Norii, Buncha guards, Mei] [Chelsea's turn] [And for setting info, it's like that first lounge you were in.] [Two guards have assault rifles, one has a pistol. That one's sitting in a chair with a book.] [There's a computer terminal on a desk next to the one with the pistol.] * Chelsea dashes forth and attacks the guard nearest her, swinging her mop with both hands. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chelsea (2d6-4) and gets 1. [Chelsea smacks the guy in the head, he screams in pain, but doesn't go down.] [Sai's turn] * Sai chants a spell and forms his shield. ( I should note that since you haven't been able to rest, you haven't recovered, either.] ) [Eoi's turn] * Eoi runs forward and tries to slam the butt of his Naginata into some poor shmuck with a assault rifle's head. (Called Shot) 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (2d6-5) and gets 6. ( Made it. ) [The guard falls flat on his back, and doesn't get up.] [Norii's turn] ( so there's one AR guy who Chel whacked and Mr. Pistol? ) ( Yup ) * Norii tries to put a shot in the assualt-rifle guy's leg. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Norii (2d6-2) and gets 3. [Norii shoots him. He falls to one leg, screaming and cursing.] [Buncha guards turns] [The guard in the chair shouts "Holy Crap!" and falls off his chair.] ( How do you fall to one leg? ) [The guard with the rifle fires wildly at Norii, missing.] ( I do believe he meant 'knee' ) [Yeah.] [Mei's turn] * Mei-Yin kneels quickly and puts her knife to the pistol-guy's throat, pressing just enough to make her presence known. [He goes "Gurk."] [Chelsea's turn] * Chelsea swings the mop at the same poor schuck she smacked before, hoping to knock him out. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chelsea (2d6-4) and gets 2. [It works. He falls down.] [Sai's turn] (Two guys down, plus one with the knife to his throat?) ( Yup ) * Sai waits. [Eoi's turn] ( Who's left? ) ( The guy being held by Mei. ) ( I guess we can end combat. ) ( Err. Yes. ) [The guard squirms a lot. "Leggo!"] * Norii checks to make sure the guy she shot isn't bleeding to death. * Mei-Yin de-stealths. NO. "Yes!" Shut up and be still. You could certainly ask more politely, given the circumstances. "Make me!" * Mei-Yin growls low in her throat. * Eoi checks on the guards.\ Oh, wonderful. Now we have immature guards. [The guards don't seem likely to die anytime soon. ] Somebody else come take care of this guy. "Same to you, buddy!" * Sai rolls his eyes. Eoi, Chel? Blunt implements? Not while that knife is at his throat. So Eoi holds him and Chelsea hits him. Simple enough. * Norii retrieves the guard's pistol. "Hey! That's mine!" ... Not anymore, it isn't. "Cheaters." * Norii checks it out to see if it's any less wimpy than this one. Pistol bitch. ( The one she has. ) ( It's the same one. ) "You suck." * Sai stares at the guard, than bursts out laughing. * Chelsea smirks. * Norii pops the mag out and tucks it in her waistband. "Ha ha. Yuck it up, why don't you?" Eoi, sit on this guy or something. Excuse me? I don't care what you do, just as long as I can get away from him. "Yeah, sit on me, you cute thing, you!" [...] * Norii glances around, scanning for more threats. * Chelsea grins. ... Excuse me? I'm a guy dumbass. [Norii sees no imminent threats.] "Oh? Better go back to the hospital." "Your sex-change operation failed big time." Oh, my. Y'know, I'm starting you don't *want* us to spare your life. That's nice. Come *on*. "Aw, you'll kill me anyhow. I might as well get a few kicks in first." * Eoi goes over to look at the computer console. Nobody is killing anybody. "Suuuuuuuure you're not." [The computer is of the same kind as in the other lounge. Probably controls nearby cameras." ] * Sai grins at the guard. "Nah. You're far too amusing to kill." * Chelsea pouts. "Awww. I can't kill him?" * Eoi checks it out. ( Hacking roll, Eoi ) Someone shut him up, or I will. And you don't want me to. ( Which is.. Computers? Database spec count? ) Chelsea, knock him out. ( Computers: Intrusion/security ) 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (2d6-1) and gets 6. ( Made it. ) "Oh yeah! You can knock me out anytime, baby!" * Chelsea brandishes the mightymop. "Works for me." *** Sedrik has joined #BESM ( Game is going on. Hello. ) [Eoi accesses the computer. There's two cameras here: The one in the hallway and one looking into the lounge, presumeably from the exit you guys didn't come through.] * Eoi tries to see if he notices anything interesting. Whenever you're ready, Mei? * Mei-Yin takes the knife away from his throat. [Nothing interesting in the e-mails here. Just the cameras.] Hit him. Hard. * Chelsea smacks the guy as hard as she can with the mop. ( roll attack ) 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chelsea (2d6-5) and gets -1. [*KLUNK!* The guard falls to the floor with a goofy smile on his face.] * Chelsea shakes her head sadly. * Mei-Yin starts tying guards up. * Sai chuckles. Doesn't seem like much. ( ...I hope somebody is logging, because I forgot to. ) ( I'm logging. ) ( Gahhhh... ) ( Oh? good ) ( Although I did just miss a line or two, I'm sure. ) ( There is no time I am not logging. ) * Chelsea rolls her shoulders and frowns. 'Not much' is still something. Anything at all there? [Eoi is at the computer. The cameras are "on".] Cameras and junk e-mail. As long as we can disable the cameras and stuff, it's fine... Let's do it and go. The longer we wait, the sooner we'll be discovered. * Chelsea nods,. Can you turn them off, Eoi? * Eoi tries. [He succeeds!] Yep. Good. Let's get moving. Great. * Chelsea gets moving! ( Where ya going? ) * Mei-Yin takes off down the other exit in full stealth mode. ( What haven't we seen on this floor? ) ( You said there was one exit other than the one that we took coming in, so we're taking that one. ) * Chelsea goes after the Stealthy One. * Eoi follows. * Sai follows after Chelsea. * Norii moves along. [There's a door at the end of the short hall; one of those sliding ones. There's also a camera, but it's been disabled.] Crap. You guys get out of sight, I'll check it out? * Sai nods. Naturally. * Mei-Yin makes shooing motions at the rest of the group. * Eoi gets out of sight. * Sai gets out of sight of the door. * Chelsea gets out of sight. * Norii shoos. * Mei-Yin opens up the door and gets just out of sight to one side. [Inside are two guys. A guard and a guy in a white coat. The guy in the coat is inspecting Chelsea's sword throroughly, while the guard is poking at various other pieces of your equipment mumbling. "... stuff is wierd." They both look up in surprise as the door opens.] [The guard goes outside, saying "I'll check it out."] ( Do we hear this? ) ( yup ) * Norii swings her pistol to the ready. * Mei-Yin waits for the guy to come outside the door and for the door to close. [He doesn't step out long enough for the door to shut.] [He looks around, shrugs, and goes back inside. The door shuts after him.] * Mei-Yin waits for him to turn around, then, and follows him inside. [Mei is inside. It's much like I described before. Yeah...] What do you think happened? No idea. Can't say. Is she in? Do we go in after her? ( Mei, go to the other channel. ) No, we haven't before, so she wouldn't be expecting it. Give her a few more minutes, at least. Hmm... * Sai holds out his hand and starts chanting. His spirit familiar appears floating above it. Go and see what's happening. But don't let them see you. ... This can't end well. ...is that going to open the door? Probably not, no. [The spirit takes off and flies through the door.] That's okay, then. No, it can pass through it. [The spirit comes back in a few minutes.] Well? All our stuff is there. Mei isn't in sight. * Chelsea smirks. Let's go. Yes. * Eoi starts down the hallway. * Chelsea goes after Eoi, holding the mop ready. One guard. * Norii is cocked and ready to rock. * Sai follows a bit behind the other three. ( Lemme know when you open the door. ) * Eoi opens the door. [Once Eoi does that, the guard looks up in surprise and raises his assault rifle. "Freeze!"] [The scientist nearly panicks, holding Chel's sword menacingly. "Don't come in here!" ] ( Do I get my action now? ) [I guess. After, everyone roll init] * Mei-Yin slips her knife up around the guard's throat and makes her presence known. d6+4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mei-Yin (d6+4) and gets 6. d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Sai (d6+6) and gets 8. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Norii (d6+7) and gets 11. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (d6+7) and gets 9. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chelsea (d6+7) and gets 11. [Norii, Chelsea, Eoi, Guard, Sai, Scientist, Mei] [Norii's turn] * Norii considers the situation. * Norii looks at the scientist. "Do you really know how to use that thing?" "We'll find out, won't we?" * Norii doesn't wait for him to answer, and puts a bullet in his thirgh. [Chelsea's turn] ( Er ) ( /me can't help but picture the scientist as Walter from HL. ) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Norii (2d6-2) and gets 8. No, he doesn't. But kill him quickly anyway. ( He was the captain of his college fencing team. ) ( Or not. ) [Norii misses] ( Walter? That works. :P ) [Chelsea's turn] ( Does that make the guard Barney? Oh dear. ) ( He ain't Otis :P ) * Chelsea licks her lips and remains in a defensive stance. "Eoi? Please rid our dear friend here of my sword." ( holding action ) [Eoi's turn] * Eoi gives Kawaii Scientist-chan a smash to the head with the butt of his naginata. 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (2d6-5) and gets -1. ( Hell yes. That was a aimed shot by the way. ) [He drops.] [Guard's turn] [Make unarmed defense (throws), Mei] 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mei-Yin (2d6) and gets 3. ( ...almost. ) ( ... Damn. ) [The guard grabs Mei's arm and flips her over his shoulder and onto the ground. "You want a piece of me?!"] [Sai's turn] * Sai stays outside of the room, so as not to get in the way. (holding action) [Mei's turn] * Mei-Yin doesn't move from where she's crumpled on the floor. [Chel's held action] * Chelsea dashes over to the unconscious scientist and retrieves her sword. [Norii's turn] Now that Mei's not in the way, Norii can just plug the guard. ( ... ) ( I'm too used to narrating Z. ) [Norii speaks about herself in the fourth person] * Norii just plugs the guard. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Norii (2d6-3) and gets 2. [Norii plugs him right in the shoulder. He winces but keeps going.] [Chelsea's turn] ( /me laughs at Legaia. "Noa is ranting about pimps again." ^^ ) ( Oh no, not Kodomo no Escaflowne again. "Van is my pimp!" ) ( Heh. ) * Chelsea discards the mop and brandishes her sword, bringing it up to whip the guard in the head with the flat of the blade. 2d6-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chelsea (2d6-6) and gets 4. [In an amazing display of stumbling backwards, the guard manages to move out of the way of Chelsea's attack. It's a near miracle!] [Eoi's turn] * Eoi gives the guard a smack to the head too. 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (2d6-5) and gets 1. ( Made it. Another called shot. ) [The guard doesn't get out of the way of this one, though, and crumples to the floor.] You okay, Mei? * Mei-Yin stands up. I'm fine. S'good. * Chelsea nods. You gotta be more careful. That guy musta been... crazy, flipping me when I had a knife to his throat. A death wish or somethin' * Mei-Yin walks over to the table and looks for her sword. * Eoi looks over the stuff in the room. * Sai enters the room. "Alright! Now we just need to find a way out of here." [Mei finds it. All of your stuff is here, yup.] * Mei-Yin pulls her sword out and starts checking the blade for anything they may have done. * Norii looks at the pistol she picked up. It's not compatible ammo, is it? ( Nope ) ( Yours is a signifigantly higher caliber. ) * Sai gathers his personal possessions, none of which are particularly significant. * Eoi looks for anything else of interest. * Chelsea gets the scabbard for her sword and sheathes it, and then buckles it on. She then retrieves her casting dagger, her throwing daggers, and so forth, putting them all in their assorted places. * Mei-Yin checks the scientist over for any sort of paperwork, maybe his wallet, anything significant. [Mei finds two pens and a pocket protector.] Is there anything else of interest in the storeroom? ( ) * Chelsea looks around to see what else is sitting around. * Eoi has been looking around for that for the past 5 minutes. Brett? * Mei-Yin looks for any of Shigeru's stuff. [Nope. Just your stuff. And a microscope.] [Shig's stuff is here, too.] * Norii pokes her nose in crates... * Mei-Yin scowls. * Norii looks in the microscope. Shigeru has to be here, somewhere. [Norii sees nothing] * Chelsea nods. "We'll find him." Well, maybe we can wake this guy up to tell us. * Sai nods towards the scientist. We'll find him. And we'll kick the ass of whoever took him. Oh yes, we will. ...eh, that could take too long. The waking up bit. Longer than searching the entire place? * Mei-Yin starts packing up Shigeru's stuff with hers. I'm afraid of getting stuck on this floor. Well, it's worth a shot. Hopefully Eoi didn't scramble his brains TOO badly. * Eoi frowns. It's Eoi. Excuse me. Would you rather I stabbed him? No, of course not. No. And that's not a spatula he's holding. * Eoi frowns at Norii and Sai. No, we wouldn't. * Chelsea rolls her eyes. Just saying, that's all. * Mei-Yin scowls at NOrii. Shall we get going? The longer we dink around the more likely someone will notice something wrong. Let's go. At least tie these guys up so they can't sound the alarm when they wake up... ...though it would be good to tie these guys up. You guys do that while I go check the other end of that last intersection? Sure. * Chelsea does that. * Mei-Yin sneaks off down the halls. * Norii ties knots. ( *tietietie* ) [The other path doesn't go far. It ends at an elevator.] * Mei-Yin scowls and runs back. We've got a choice of two elevators. ( Gah. Tired. I'm not sure how much longer I can keep this up. ) ...crap. Do they both go to the same floors? ( We could stop here, but if we keep going, we might finish it tonight. ) I didn't check this one. * Chelsea nods. See why I want to interrogate this guy? Has he woken up yet? Do you REALLY want to wait? Well... ( Stopping here would prolly be best. z.z ) ( I'm on coffee, so I can swing either way. ) (I'm still wide awake, but whatever.) ( I'd just as soon keep going, but I'll leave it up to you guys. ) (I'd rather go on.) ( I don't mind either way. ) ( we'll keep going for a bit, then. ) Which elevator, then? ( I'm kinda dozing off, but ok. ) Well, let's go see what the choices are in the new one. * Chelsea nods. "Yes." Sure. Up is probably out, but would down be where Shiggy is? Possibly. * Chelsea sighs, frowning. Unless they've moved him somewhere else. * Mei-Yin starts heading for the new elevator again. [This elevator has only two buttons. The top one is flashing.] * Chelsea frowns. Okay, so this is for access between the lower floors. I'm for heading down. Either elevator. I agree. Down sounds fine. Works for me. The guards on the other one were kind of alert, so we'll take this one. * Mei-Yin presses the button and gets up against the wall, hand on the hilt of her sword. * Chelsea keeps her sword out and waits. [The elevator doors open, revealing...] [Nothing ^_^] Mei-Yin, do you want to scout ahead again? ( were we in or out of the elevator? I can't tell. ^_^; ) ( Maybe it'sjust my allergies. ) Yes, of course. ( I presumed out. ) * Mei-Yin steps in and goes down. ( Now I'm really confused. ) ( So am I. ^_^; ) ( ?_; ) ( I need to get soda soon if we're not stopping. ) ( Go ahead, but hurry up :P ) ( Hm. Wouldn't hurt here either. ) ( ::dashes:: ) ( So we haven't left the middle floor yet? ) ( About to. ) ( Annnnny time now... ) * Mei-Yin steps out of the elevator once it arrives. * Mei-Yin holds it open with one hand. There's only one guard, and he's asleep. * Mei-Yin motions for the others to get in. ( Back. ) * Chelsea gets in. ( Back I guess. ) * Norii gets in I guess. * Eoi gets in. * Sai gets in the elevator. [They pile into the 'vator.] * Mei-Yin makes the elelator go down the hoooo~oooole. [And down it goes!] [The elevator opens into a hallway, revealing a guard room on the left. The hallway turns left passed this room. There's a camera in the corner. There's only one guard in the room, and he seems to be asleep.] * Mei-Yin slips out of the elevator and into the room to take the guard captive. [The guard snores] * Mei-Yin waits for the others to arrive. C'mon, people... * Eoi follows. ( Gimme a break. I'm exausted. ) * Sai gets out of the elevator. * Chelsea slips out of the elevator and makes her way to the room with the guard as quietly as she can. * Norii is trying to figure out if the camera is pointing at us. [It is, but nobody seems to notice.] ( There's a computar, right? ) ( Yes ) ( Computar! Run for your lives! ) *whispered* Someone get that camera off! * Mei-Yin gits on teh computar and starts h4xx0r1ng. ( ...Wow, my allergies are really fucking with my head. ) [Make yet hacking roll] 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mei-Yin (2d6-5) and gets 7, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "Maybe you should consider sacrificing some barnyard animals?" ( ...no. ) 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mei-Yin (2d6-5) and gets -2. ( That's better. ) ( DR is a girl's best friend. ) [Mei manages to figure it out while everyone was expecting her to screw up. ] ( I don't get it. The guard is still there sleeping? ) [Yup ] ( Apparently. I'm amazed he still works here. ) [He's still sleeping, and Mei finds two camera controls] * Norii has her gun pointed at the guard's head. [He doesn't seem to mind.] * Chelsea glances around idly. [Chelsea sees nothing of particular interest.] ( You know... It IS possible to finish this tonight. But you have to do stuff :P] ) * Norii gestures at the guard and makes questioning faces at the otehrs. * Sai looks for exits. * Chelsea shrugs. * Mei-Yin fucks with the cameras so they transmit pictures of empty halls. * Mei-Yin tries, anyway. [There's only the door that leads out of the room, but there's that turn in the hallway, too. ] [Mei succeeds.] Let's go. * Chelsea nods. * Sai nods. * Eoi nods. (and tries to stay awake. ((_;) * Mei-Yin goes down that turn in the hallway. * Chelsea follows! * Norii backs after her, watching the guard. * Sai follows at the rear of the group. [The turn leads to only a small stretch of hall before it turns again, down a loooooong corridor. There's two branches a few meters away from you, another one leading to the left (with a camera over it), much further down, and the corridor seems to turn right at the end.] *** Jex has joined #BESM ( Part of the problem here is that we're getting really confused. ) ( This is why I don't like doing dungeons over IRC :P ) ( The descriptions are just a little bit fuzzy, and in this medium, and with the evident amount of fatigue, we're developing a bet case of brainlock. ) ( It's nearly over, really. ) We're near the other elevator. * Chelsea nods and keeps following. ( Well, we have no way of telling that. Except from your say-so, and then you show us four(!) unexplored paths. ) ( That's right. ) ( Seven, I'm sorry. ) ( Nope, just four. ) * Mei-Yin walks under the view of the camera and heads the way that _doesn't_ go to the other elevator. * Norii follows after Mei, hoping she has this layout figured. * Eoi is just following. * Sai follows too. * Chelsea follows. Wait here, guys. I'm gonna check around a bit. * Sai waits. * Mei-Yin takes off down the halls to scout. * Norii carefully scans for hostiles, particularly from the way we came. * Chelsea waits, glancing around for any unfriendly folk. * Mei-Yin returns and decloaks, scowling. So. What's the bad news? Let's go. There's nothing on this floor but scientists and... things. Let's go back to the other elevator and get out of here. ...things? What things. * Mei-Yin shudders slightly. Things? You don't want to know, and I wish I hadn't seen them. * Chelsea raises an eyebrow. "Things? ...no, tell us on the way." * Chelsea starts heading back to the other elevator. * Mei-Yin starts heading back the way we came. * Norii moves along. * Sai shrugs, and heads back to the elevator. [I presume you go to the second floor first, then get on the elevator?] ( YES. ) ( Sure! ) * Norii isn't leading. ( Sure. ) [They get to the first elevator on the second floor. woo!] * Mei-Yin calls the 'vator. [It comes.] * Mei-Yin hops in, assuming it's empty, and hits the button for the 'top' floor. * Chelsea gets in the elevator when it comes. [The elevator goes up. And up. And up.] When we get there, we're gonna have to rush the guard room. * Chelsea nods. Got it. [The elevator opens, revealing... A guy in a robe! "Boo."] *** Kirby is now known as RobedGuy * Chelsea blinks. * Norii sticks her gun in his face. * Mei-Yin jumps about six feet in the air. * RobedGuy waves. "Chelsea, my love!" He runs into the elevator brushing past everyone and gives her a big hug. Nice to see you. You want I should hit him Chelsea? Gah! Pull that hood off. * Chelsea blinksas she's hugged. "...Hello?" I heard you were captured! How awful! It's okay, I came to save you! You're a little late to rescue us. Bit late Robie. I took care of that already. * RobedGuy backs out of the elevator. "Oh, that's okay. Ready?" He gestures down the hallway. Behind him in the guard room, two guards are passed out. What about Shigeru? * RobedGuy shrugs. What was the point of getting us captured, if you were going to break us out? They... probably have him somewhere else. You weren't SUPPOSED to get captured! I'll find him. * Chelsea frowns. Why would I want my love to be stuck in a smelly cell somewhere? * RobedGuy walks down the hall. "Yeesh. THINK about what you're saying." Yeesh. Think of all the traps you've set us up with. [There's a set of double doors down the hall. Well, they probably were double doors. Now they're scrap metal.] It was your message that led us right into this trap. * Norii follows anyway. * Chelsea licks her lip because biting it would be too obvious, and follows after RobedGuy. * Mei-Yin follows Robey. * Eoi follows. * Sai follows after Robed Guy, scowling. It's not MY fault! They shop at the same Chinese restaurant. * Chelsea sheathes her sword and rubs her face. * RobedGuy leads everyone into what looks like an office building, complete with cubicles. The hole in the wall you just came out of has a big "RESTRICTED ACCESS" sign, as well as a now ruined retina scanner. But it doesn't matter. What's important is Chelsea's safe! And you don't have any clue where Shiggy is. Riiiight. Nope! ((_^ * RobedGuy leads everyone to the stairs! * RobedGuy climbs down them. A nearby sign says "level 4." So what DID you see down there, Mei? * Mei-Yin looks sick. Don't worry about it. All I can think of to call them is... things. ( Because that's how Brett described them. :P ) That's not very descriptive, dear. ( They're non-descript things that are hideous to look at :P ) Be thankful. ( Great, but what sort of things? ) ( The kind that like to hurt stuff. ) * RobedGuy leads everyone to the lobby of the Asahara building, where another robed person is waiting. ( Ked struggles not to strangle the GM. ) * Chelsea frowns. ( Ok... ) ...uh, there's more of you? * Sai looks at the other robed person. "Hang on just a minute here." ( They're flesh-colored beasts with three eyes that crawl on all fours, but have human heads and pointy ears. They've got lots of sharp teeth and a wide smile. And claws, too. ) ( Happy? ) * Chelsea lets her hand wander to the hilt of her sword. "This a friend, Robey? Or are we about to have trouble?" *** OtherRobedPerson has joined #besm Mmm.... Looks like trouble, I'm afraid. ( Yes. Now I know what sort of things you're talking about. ) ...Genbu? * OtherRobedPerson pulls off her robe. "That's right, human." *** OtherRobedPerson is now known as Genbu Aw, hell. Oh, great. * Mei-Yin lookes at Robey. * Norii is almost amused. * RobedGuy pouts, as much as one can when his face is hidden by a robe. * Genbu looks at the Robed Guy too. "Why are you here?!" * RobedGuy puts an arm around Chelsea. "I'm here for my love!" ...you're Seiryuu, aren't you? This bodes.. poorly. * Sai looks at Mei-Yin. "That'd make a lot of sense." I dunno. I have a vaguely good feeling about this. Besides, you know we're not supposed to interfere directly, sis. And you did. So I get to, too! I guess that answers that question. This... could get messy. * Chelsea grins, not seeming to mind that RobedGuy has his arm around her. ( Who'da thunk that Seiryuu was a putz who loves kirby and spouts bad love poetry and karaoke? ) * RobedGuy looks at Chelsea. Not that she can see his face or anything. "I'm going to have to leave you for a while, my love. I need to take sis home." ( I would ^_^ ) ( Brett. ) *** RobedGuy is now known as Seiryuu That's okay, I'm sure she'll wait for you. * Sai looks at Chelsea. "Congratulations on landing a god as a boyfriend." ^_~ Gimme a kiss for good luck? * Chelsea nods. "Alright. Be careful, now." * Seiryuu looks about as hopeful as a guy who's face is covered in a robe can. * Chelsea looks into the inky blackness under the hood. "Sure. Hard to reach you with that hood, tho." Hey. * Eoi grins. "You never do anything small Chel." ( 'whose', Brett. ) Oh, that's okay. * Seiryuu leans forward and engulf's Chelsea's head in the hood. There's a big smoooooching sound. ... ... ... ... * Seiryuu leans back. "Okay! I'm off!" ...well, at least this means she won't be after Shigeru anymore. ^_^ Says who? * Chelsea waves to Seiryuu. "Good luck." Says ME. * Mei-Yin GLARES at Eoi. * Genbu growls in rage. She transforms into a giant turtle, so large it barely fits in the lobby. "Don't ignore me!" How fancy. * Sai backs away from Seiryuu. "This should be cool." * Mei-Yin calms down in a hurry. Nice trick. * Norii ducks out of the way, not feeling like turtle food tonight. Um... y'think we maybe oughta get the hell out of here? * Seiryuu dives for Genbu. The robe falls on the ground as a blue dragon made of water emerges, knocking the turtle through the front of the building. "You've never beaten me, sis! And you never will!" * Sai looks over at Genbu. "No snake, though. I'm not sure if I should be dissappointed or relieved." Norii, not a WORD about dining on turtle soup tonight. * Mei-Yin starts running. I think that may be a good idea. You sure you can handle this... oookay! What? I just want pizza. Running sounds good. ( *ND facepalms. ) * Norii doesn't run so much as back away. [A pillar of water surrounds the two, with stones spiraling around it. When it's gone, there's no trace of either of them, save the robe left behind. Not that anyone's paying attention to my narration anymore, but hey...] *** Genbu has quit IRC (Quit: ) Nifty. *** Seiryuu has quit IRC (Quit: ENjoy the kirbies, my love!) Oh, hey. Looks like running isn't necessary. Well. That was certainly interesting. * Mei-Yin slows to a stop. Aw. So we don't get to see any godly asskicking. So, Chelsea, how does he kiss? Was it as sloppy as it sounded? [The front of the building looks like it was blown out by a bomb.] Oh, I think that was plenty good in the godly asskicking department. ( Out, or in? ) It wasn't half bad. ^_^ ( Out, they were in the lobby. ) At least they're not destroying Tokyo in the process. Nah, the Tower's had its appearance already. * Norii looks at the lobby. "Well, this section got a good totalling. Shall we get the hell out of here? Sounds like a plan. Yes, yes we shall. * Eoi gets the hell out of here. * Mei-Yin gets going. [So they did! Session End]
