[Day: Sunday, June 5th. Time: 8:00 p.m.] [Yesterday, you fell into a trap and lost Rei's computer, which contained some rather valuable information. Just another typical day.] [You gather tonight in the clubroom to discuss your next step. Or maybe just to order a pizza and play twister.] [Session Start!] * Peter is.. GASP.. reading. * Rei is cheerfully working on what looks like a gun. Or cannon. Or something that shoots stuff. * Lazar is in his usual spot next to Peter's desk, not doing a whole heckuva lot. * Chomei is wearing a navy blue shirt today, and is working on fixing the shirt that got torn the previous day. * Makoto is making one of his smaller yo-yos spin back and forth across its own string like a little wooden tightrope walker. * Maria is eyeing whatever it is Rei's building, and watching as she builds it. Rei, have you had any luck tracing your computer? * Rei frowns a little, peering at some wires. "Notta trace, prof. I dunno if they even went online with Box. I mean, 's not like they have to, and it'd be pretty stupid of 'em." Damn it. Is there any way you could destroy it from a distance? Well, it would. I built a replacement puter overnight, though, so that'd help. * Maria shrugs. "I have a nice lead on it." * Rei blinks and looks up at Peter, shocked. "No way! I'd never blow up Box! No self destruct mechanism in there, nuh uh, no how." No tracking device? * Chomei is quickly working on his shirt. He's not paying any attention to the current conversation. Umm. I didn't think to put one in. I'll add it after we get Box back. By the way, Maria told me she found it, maybe. Kinda. So maybe we should listen to her, right? Would be wise, yes. * Peter looks at Maria. "Really?" * Rei nodnods and goes back to fiddling with the cannon thing. Whatever it is, "Have A Nice Day" is written on it. In three languages. I found the people who took it, anyway. Tracked them to a place where they like to hang out at night. Went in, listened to them talk for a bit, left. Interesting. Where is this? 'Amigo's'. A bar, apparently. Then what we wait for? They seem to have a deal with the bartender. Closes the place down when they come in. ( Solicitations. ) Oh, and they got some of the info off of Box, I'm afraid. Which probably makes this bad, but I'm not sure. * Makoto bounces the yo-yo from its tightrope and spins it normalls as he walks lazily over to Rei. "That's new," he says quietly. They didn't, however, manage to get into Interpol's computer stuff. And I need to ask Rei how all this works sometime. * Chomei looks up from what he was doing, grabs a piece of paper, then starts sketching something in pencil. (normally) * Rei grumbles and almost bumps her head as she looks up at Makoto. "Toldja I'd build one." And I'll be happy to teach ya, Maria! Just takes time we don't got right now. Which sucks, but y'know. Well, yeah. * Maria frowns, and asks quietly "What're you building, anyway?" * Makoto steps back a bit so as not to further impede Rei's quick motions. "Yeah, but... do you have any experience with firing small weapons of mass destruction?" * Chomei grins as he finish his sketch. He looks up. "What?" * Peter frowns and thinks. "Hm. They got information.. A bar.. Did you happen to find at what time they usually hang out there?" * Rei grins madly as she keeps playing with the thing. "Sure do! I just miss sometimes." * Peter looks at Rei, and then quickly decides to pretend he saw nothing. Better for his sanity that way. * Makoto chuckles quietly at Rei. "Make sure you don't shoot it when we're in front of you, then. I'd hate to have you miss your target and hit somebody friendly, like..." The doppelganger looks around. "Hey, where's Chie?" It was pretty late when I got there. After midnight. Apparently, that's about the time they like to be there. Hm. * Rei feels the smile fade a little. "Oh, Chie. Um. She had some family stuff to take care of today. She'll be around again tomorrow, though." I'm afraid we can't wait for her. Who, what? Um... would someone please tell me what's going on? Well, yeah. I wanna get Box back. The bar's Amigo's, right Maria? * Lazar noogies Chomie. "Pay attention. Miss important talk." What important talk? * Rei turns and digs in her backpack a little, eventually coming up with a waffle. At least, it looks like a waffle. * Maria nods. "That it is." * Maria blinks at Rei. * Rei plunks on the floor and opens the waffle! ( You all die :P ) (Bwahaha!) (Yeah, what's your point?) ... That's a neat trick. * Maria blinks again. * Chomei blinks at the waffle. "What the?" Trick nothin', this is my new computer, the... Iron Waffle! Except it's not made of iron, and it's not really a waffle, so I guess it doesn't really count that much, but hey, it looks good with syrup. Where's my thunderclap? Maria find where Box is. At bar. We go there, hit people repeated- what that? * Rowyn has joined #besm * Chomei chuckles. * Peter sighs and shakes his head. "Rei, you have without a doubt, the strangest taste I've ever seen." * Maria blinks again. Then starts laughing. Thanks! ^_^ * Makoto grins. * Rei cheerfully types away. * Maria calms down. Some. * Chomei looks at the computer-type-waffle... thing. "Whatever floats your boat, eh?" * Makoto tries to figure out how Rei hits all the keys. Unless the 'waffle' is a foot across, they must be very small. * Rei somehow manages to do it, without err. Must be because she's used to that really tiny keyboard Box has. ( Rei types with a pair of pencils. ) ( Hehe. ) (Chopsticks.) Aww, nothing really juicy on Amigo's. Got any other dirt, Maria? When're they usually there? ... so should we stake out bar, or wait until near midnight? mmm... steak. * Maria shrugs. "Either way. I could go stake it out right now, if you like. Nobody'd know I was there." Maria should stake out the bar. She is stealthy enough. Medium rare, side of tang and onion fries. Tang soda? Meanwhile, the rest of us prepare. Rei and I will search for any information on this bar. Perhaps it has a history. Hmm. Hmm hmm hmm. I'd offer ta go with Maria, but I dunno if Mr. I-Can- Smell-You is there or not. Bad mojo, that guy. Oh yeah. What is it's location Maria? I'll... uh... do whatever you guys need me to do. * Chomei shrugs. "Whatever." * Maria wrinkles her nose. "Uhg, Tang." Weeeell, I wonder. * Rei types some more. * Maria relates the location to Peter. And, Rei, what'd Mr.-I-Can-Smell-You look like? A guy with bat wings and a really big nose and black hair and he dressed like Chomei. * Rei hits a key. "Map central!" * Makoto nods in silent agreement. * Rei hops to her feet and runs out the room, almost making a Rei-shaped cloud behind her. * Chomei looks at himself. "Heh, poser." Uhm... don't think I saw him there. Idunno, Chomei. He -did- have a metal demon following him around. * Maria blinks. * Maria hops out and runs off after Rei! Dammit! They always have something that I don't... Wait, why would I want a metal demon? You have stone guy. Even better. * Rei returns! And runs into Maria in the process. "Ow!" * Maria is run into. o_O Hey, you alright? Where'd you go, anyway? * Rei falls to the ground, papers flying everywhere. [A buncha ravens squak outside.] Uh... just got some blueprints. * Rei blinks woozily. * Chomei looks at Lazar. "You are absolutely right Lazar." * Makoto goes over to the window and opens it, scanning the outdoors for ravens, and anything else while he's at it. * Maria gives Rei a hand up, n' stuff. Actually, if legend is correct, the Metal Demon's power dwarfs Lazars. * Rei accepts and stands. ... quiet, Peter. I on roll. * Chomei turns to Peter. "Don't throw off his groove." [A buncha ravens try to peck Makoto when he opens the window :P] * Makoto sullenly swats the waiting ravens away. "Stupid birds." * Rei blinks and runs to the window, trying to wave the ravens away. "Shoo! Go nest or something!" [The ravens fly off :P] * Chomei notices the ravens. "Want me to shoot them next time?" Don't make me use the- oh, look. They're gone. How conveeeeenient. * Peter thinks. "I'm curious about those ravens..." * Rei rubs her hands together and cackles as she hunches over the papers. * Mechalink has joined #besm And if I full golem, metal demon would no dwarf. * Rei starts picking them up. "Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to drink we go o/~" I don't know. You'd think they'd have realized by now that I'm not killing anybody. * Maria raises an eyebrow. "Drink?" ( err... "realized by now that I'm not killing anybody." Or whatever. -_- ) .. Drink? Yes! Have you ever mixed Flower Dew and Dr. Pepsi? Now that's a kick in the pants if I ever had one. Here, have a blueprint. * Rei plunks the stack in front of Peter. * Maria blinks. * Peter stares. ".. Err. Yes." He looks over the blueprint, and somehow manages to avoid sweatdropping. * Makoto leaves the window open and walks back to the group, and the papers. "What's this, again?" Why need blueprint? Just break down front door. Blueprints. Turns out Amigo's isn't much of a bar, but it'd be nice if we knew where these guys were meeting. Maria could point it out. Not much of a bar? You mean, it's something else? Or it's just a terrible bar, so you -think- it's something else? * Chomei shrugs. "I'd just let them continue." * Maria looks at the blueprints, and points to a table. "That's where they were sitting. Off to this room on the side. It's DOOM! Really, it looks pretty normal, but you can't tell shit from this. I mean, it's not like they'd just release sekrit passages online. I think. Probably. Hey, cool, Maria does know! * Chomei gets up and looks at the blueprints. * Peter looks. "Hmm." * Lazar eyes the blueprints. "Front door look good. Maybe have people go in back too, prevent escape. This is where we could use Chie... * Maria shrugs. "I went in through the back door, last time. Not much of a challenge, either. But having Lazar here guard one of the doors would be a good idea, definitely." I vote for a pre-emptive strike. Maybe we can set something up for them to go splut into later, keep ourselves from getting hurt, 'cause getting hurt is bad and man, stains take a long time to get out of clothes. * Maria frowns. But if wait till they there, they be drunk. No fight as well. We must keep something in mind. We need them alive. Well, duh. Who said anything about killing them? But if they have a deal with the bartender, he might let 'em know if we're setting something up. * Chomei nods. "Going in when they're in there would probably be the best idea. Maybe we could cover all the exits to the room." Chomei looks at the blueprints where Maria was pointing. Usually, Rei dear, stains don't get onto clothing if a enemy remains alive. I dunno, I can probably get a stain on my clothes if they squirt me with ketchup! Or stab me with a really sharp spoon. Damn spoons. ... Right. You.. truely do scare me, Rei. * Rei folds her arms and adopts a serious expression. "I mean, come on, why do spoons need somewhat-pointy ends, anyway? What good does it do? Doesn't it cut the back of your mouth? Well, no it doesn't, and actually it helps when you're eating, but who the hell invented sporks anyway? They're an insult!" It's not the spoons you have to worry about though, it's the sporks. Yeah! Hrm... what if they stabbed you with a really sharp bottle of ketchup? * Rei woozes. "The very prospect makes me faint." She teeters. ... remind me of were-hotdog. Very bad. Was it good to eat? Think happy thoughts, Rei. An abandoned junkyard just a block away from your apartment. * Rei goes starry-eyed and falls over. "Owie." ... I joking, Chomei. So was I. * Maria snickers. * Makoto shakes his head and offers to help Rei up. I guess that was too happy. Sorry. No way! Okay, Were-hotdog. I refuse to believe that. * Rei jumps to her feet and shakeshakeshakes Makoto by the collar. "Where's this junkyard? Where where?" * Maria blinks. "Hotdog?" Grrk! I'll tell you later, honest! * Rei hugs Makoto. "Yay!" The list of problems that don't work with a were-hotdog are far to long to list. * Makoto smiles cheerfully. "Okay, now back to this Amigo's thing..." ... Peter. I joking. Were hotdog no exist. * Maria frowns. "What's a hotdog?" ... though once saw werewolf on fire... * Chomei snickers. "Good one Lazar, good one." ... I serious. Was on fire. Very not happy about it, either. * Peter rubs his head. "Thank god. I just can't tell with you Lazar." * Chomei looks at the blueprints again. "So what are we going to do?" * Peter looks. "I would advise we do not accost them inside the bar." I believe that would only aggrivate the situation. Instead, we should wait until they leave. ... So we want to fight them outside the bar? Yeah, I agree with the professor. We could follow them to wherever they go when they leave. Unless they're all like bat-boy and walk through holes in reality. * Maria shrugs. "I'm going to go stake the place out, unless one of you has a different idea." Staking sounds good. Especially if they're vampires there, but there probably isn't, but you gotta take the good with the bad, and all that jazz. Which is okay, but I like disco more. I disagree. In bar, enclosed area. Nowhere to run, have element of surprise. * Maria blinks at Rei. How about rock? Do you like disco more than rock? If follow, is possible we get seen, lose them, or find more bad people. * Rei thinks. If we attack them in the bar, we're sure to be seen, and more likely then not, we'll have to deal with their friends. Rock's real good. I should intro you to s'more stuff, Makoto. But I'm afraid it'd have to take a second place to discoy goodness. If we could stay on topic for more then three sec.. ( Rei Ayanami meets Rei Udea. That's a fun idea. ) Well, let's stay on topic, shall we? I thought we were on topic. We have bar. They go to bar. They know where Box is. Me Rei. You Peter. Ugh. * Makoto snickers. * Maria snickes. So, the question is, do we go there when they're there and try to pin them down then? Or do we set some kind of trap or follow them after they leave the bar? I say we should pin them while they're there. That's what Lazar said, too. And Peter and I voted for getting them out of the bar. Rei? Maria? What do you two think? * Rei thinks. Yes, yes, fire bad, tree pretty. Quite. However, I'm against attack them in the bar. Attacking, Peter. Watch grammar. * Rei giggles. * Lazar grins. What you say? ( .. Typo. ) ( Gimme a break. I'm tired here. ) * Maria shrugs. "It'd be easier to keep them from running off if we get at them in the bar." ( You have no chance to survive make your time. ) (*kills Makoto dead*) Yes, but it also increases the chance they would get backup. (*fries Makoto's remains*) (*sizzles*) If we let them leave the bar, I want at least a guarantee or a possibility that we can corner them. If we don't have that, I at least want to be certain we all zero in on the same target, so we catch *somebody*. * Rei eyes her cannon. "Too bad it's not done yet. Phooey." What *is* that, anyway? The freakadelic smile launcher with detachable strongarm grip! * Chomei looks at the cannon. "What does it do, shoot pies?" * Rei grins madly. "You'll see." ...uh, huh. In the meantime... unless Maria is set against going after them in the bar, I guess we'll try to catch them there. Back to the topic. We gonna attack them in the bar or on the streets? * Maria shrugs. "Whatever works, really." * Rowyn has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) You know my vote. * Jex has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) So, as a whole we're still pretty much undecided. I guess that makes it Peter's call? * Peter sighs. "Okay. Since our strongest fighters seem to be for attacking them inside the bar, that is what we will go with. * Lazar nods. "Will work." Great, let's roll. Or let's let Maria roll and we'll lay in wait, or whatever. * Chomei nods. * Maria shrugs. I'll need to borrow a cel phone, probably. * Peter hands Maria his. "Take good care of it." * Rei taptaps her cheek. "So while Maria's doin' this, we're doing what, exactly?" Hey, professor, do you have the rest of us on speed dial? * Jex has joined #BESM * Maria stashes the cel phone somewhere and nods. "Who should I call when I see them arriving?" Get organized, plan how we raid when it's time? Call Rei. I.. have whoever gave me their numbers. Anyone else, I'm afraid, I don't. * Sonny has joined #besm Ah. I'll have to remember to see whether I gave you my number, later. Really, Prof, weren't there files or somethin' with our numbers in it? I'm sure there were. Hrm. I don't think I gave you mine. * Maria looks to Rei. "You did give the good Prof your number, right, Rei?" Nooo, I figured he had it. Here, I'll program it in. I know the model. * Rei holds her hand out for the phone. * Maria frowns at Rei. "You don't suppose those were taken, too?" * Maria hands Rei the phone. What, hard files? Notta chance. Not the ones online, either. I mean, man. They'd have to be awfully good to erase that stuff, if they wanted to. It's prolly still there, whether they saw it or not. * Makoto walks around behind Rei and looks over her shoulder. Put mine in there too, while you're at it? * Rei starts playing with the phone. She hits a number of buttons, sticks her tongue out and hits a few more. "There we go! Huh? Oh, sure. What's your number again?" * Chomei nods. He hands Rei a piece of paper with his number on it. "If he needs to call, why not?" .. You're not changing my phone to play disco tones, are you? * Rei takes and programs Chomei's number in, too. Now now, Prof. Would I do that? Yes? Well, yeah. But I didn't! Honest! I swear! You prolly want it on vibrate, too, Maria. * Maria blinks. "Eh?" Yes! No! * Makoto tells Rei his number, which is a nice normal number because I'm not about to try to make up a futuristic Japanese telelphone number, so yeah. No, not no. Yes! * Maria eyes Rei. _ "And why, exactly, is that?" No? * Rei programs that number in, too. "Getcher mind outta the gutter, sista. It just means that instead of ringing, the phone'll vibrate. No noise, see?" Ah ha. Yes, that'd be best. But you -are- supposed to answer it, and not just let it ring, and ring, and ring... Although if I have anything to say about it, nobody'll hear me from where I am, anyway. Yeah, well, it won't hurt! * Rei sets it to vibrate and hands the phone back to Maria. * Maria kicks Makoto in the shins. And she's wearing awfully heavy boots, too. * Maria accepts the phone, and puts it in a pocket. Nf! * Maria beams at Makoto. ^_^ * Makoto grits his teeth and rubs his shin, but manages a cheeky smile back at Maria even so. * Peter shakes his head, amused. * Maria sticks her tongue out at Makoto. :P Alright. I'm off. * Chomei chuckles and grins. "Insulting the ladies is an easy way to lose your manhood Makoto..." * Maria walks over to the window. * Rei gleams. "Y'know, I could design something for that..." ( Maria sees a bat signal! Nah, just kidding ) (*cracks up*) * Chomei winces at that. "Don't go there Rei." I wasn't insulting her. Just offering her some helpf-- Rei, no. * Maria opens the window. But then you'll be neutered! * Rei runrun hides. ... You honestly scare me. ( Wah! Rei is kowai! ;_; ) ( Or something similar to it! ) (I don't even know what that word means.) * Maria goes out the window! Off to do staking out of bars. Yup. She should. ... why Maria no use door? She's spider-girl? ( Maria's Lloth? =P ) * Makoto folds his arms and closes his eyes. His features reshape themselves like sculptor's clay, and his body gets noticably more... curvy. After a little while, he's a rather attractive woman in her late twenties with straight, waist- length hair and a faint, perpetual smug expression on her face. * Rei sings from her hiding spot from behind the desk. "" o/~ There. Now you can't get at them. Can still eat brains. * Makoto waves a hand dismissively at the golem. "Yeah, but Rei's not a zombie." ( Maria's Llolth. Funny, Laz. ;P ) That's what you think. * Makoto smiles and nods. That's true. It is what I think. So, when Maria calls us, what'll we do? * Rei mmmms. "Taaaaaaaaaang." We'll have to see the situation. * Lazar eyes the blueprints. How many entrances? * Chomei shrugs. "Eat waffles and drink Tang?" * Makoto follows the sound of Rei's voice to her hiding place. "What about Tang?" ( Brett? ) ( Wha? Oh, two. ) * Lazar hrms. "I could break through front door, distract while rest come in back, surprise bad guys." * Rei blinks and yelps, scrambling to her feet and pulling up her fists. "Who are you? How did you find my sekrit hiding spot? Who sent you? I bet it was the people from the Planet Cruton! Damn Crutonians!" That would put you at quite a bit of risk however. * Peter stares at Rei. " .. You really are quite mad." How about we have someone back him up. Makoto could keep them from getting all over him by tripping them or somthing, right? Then again, what if they have guns... No. * Lazar grins at Peter. "Better I at risk than rest of you." Cruton? Phah, those fools couldn't find their way out of a wet paper bag. I am the leader of the invading force from planet BaconBitz. * Rei looks over to Chomei and Peter, showing she really was paying attention. "Have someone with range back up both the front and back enterances. We've got two. If we have an advantage this way, we should use it." BaconBitz? Aww, man. Can't you guys leave us alone? I thought we already paid our tribute! If I'm getting close to anybody, they dang well better not have guns. I could trip somebody, but he could still shoot me. * Chomei nods. Yeah. And, y'know, stains. Bitch to clean. Someone come with me, then. Still, best I provide distraction to let others sneak up from back. Yeah, stains are bad. Especially when they get to your insides. I'll go wherever I can be of use, it's just that it seems we're dealing with such a small organization. A big place would have more anonymity and I could waltz right in. That my point. I no have insides. *grin* * Chomei knocks against Lazar's shoulder. "Yup, like a rock." * Makoto grins at that. Well, I guess that's okay. Rest of you chewy. I crunchy. * Chomei goes back to his sketchbook and starts drawing another sketch. [Two hours later....] [Maria calls. Presumeably.] * Rei blinks. "My butt's ringing." * Chomei looks at Rei's butt. "Yup, it's ringing alright." ( "Wow. I didn't know I had that power!" ) * Rei grabs her phone and puts it to her ear. "Where's the fire? Is it tasty?" ( "Hi, I'd like to order a large cheese pizza with extra rice..." ) Well, damn. Maybe if we had somethin' to prevent burns. Like a tongue- wrap. Faaascinating concept. ( Would that make this a... booty call? ) Oh, intelesting. Y'know if the bartender's still there? Mmm hmm. Well, yeah, that's a given. So they're in there, the bartender's still there, and the closed sign is up. Y'find a secluded place where we can meet? Gotcha. We can meet there. The situation sounds fairly clear. They're inside, but the "bar" is closed. Not really, nope. We haven't made much progress aside from deciding to try to corner them in the bar. We'll see you there, yeah? * Rei hangs up and tucks the phone away. "It's bar hopping time!" Same riding situation as usual? * Chomei nods. "I think that'll work." I'm not ridin', but Maria doesn't need a ride. * Rei has a seat on the floor and makes herself comfy. "Meet at the alley outside Amigo's back enterance. That's where Maria's waitin' for us." * Lazar nods. "To poor abused van, then?" Indeed. * Rei blinks once. "Oh. Don't meet there. My bad." (Wow, I'm out of it.) * Rei frowns a little. "Pick a place. We'll find ya. I've gotta get going or I'll never make it there in any somewhat maybe reasonable amount of time." I think I'll ride in the Mystery Machine this time. Normally I'd ride with Makoto, but too many cars popping up there would seem odd. * Rei closes her eyes and trances out. * Rei is now known as SpiritRei * SpiritRei zooms off towards Amigo's. * Peter nods. "Come along then." * Chomei nods. "Off we go." [And so you all go off. Makoto decides to take his own car, anyhow. Unfortunately, after you all leave, he finds out his car won't start for some reason.] [Time: 11:00 p.m. You're a few blocks from Amigo's 'cause nobody's sure just where to meet.] * SpiritRei sits on Maria's head. ~~ * Maria smirks, and says quietly. "Good to hear. Are they all he-- yeah, I think I see 'em." ( Rei gets brought down by a spiritual anvil. ) (Ow.) * Maria heads over to where the others are. Where are they, anywhoo? * Chomei starts looking around for Maria. * Maria says, from right next to Chomei, "Boo." * Chomei looks over to Maria. "Oh, there you are. Did you say something?" ~No, I didn't!~ * Peter jumps. "Gah! .. Very impressive." Did Rei tell plan? Nope. What's the plan? I wish I knew. ~You know NUHSINK! NUHSINK!~ ...you *do* have a plan, right? Our plan was to go in and apprehend them. However, the fact the bar is closed presents a minor problem. Is there any way to sneak in Maria? Yes. I go in front door, distract. You come in back at same time, surprise, we beat up. Yes. The back door. But there is some question as to weather the bar's closed, actually. Does it matter? I can break down door. I think we're still on the bar's normal open hours. ~Basically, the bar isn't supposed to be closed. It's just closed 'cause of those people. But I bet some people who usually come to the bar will be confused and- yeah." * Chomei nods. So should we wait, or go now? ~Why *not* go now?~ ~I mean, what's it do for us? We can plan more, sure, but other than that, waiting isn't advantageous at all, as I see it.~ You're right as, well, um, sometimes. * Lazar hmms. "Then I head for front door. Rest of you head for back. Is back door unlocked, Maria?" Be very careful Lazar. * Maria smirks. "No, but that's not a problem." ~Someone cover Lazar.~ * Chomei looks around. "Do you want me to do it, or the Prof? Chomei is the better fighter.. I be okay alone, as long as you don't take too long. *grin* Bah, whatever. I'll go with Lazar. They won't be able to touch us. But if someone want come with me... that work. ~Plan taken and complete! Ding! Let us hasten to the back enterance, Happy Squad!~ * Maria nods. "This way." She smirks again. "And try to be quiet." She heads for the back door. * Peter follows, as stealthy as he can. * Chomei summons his bow. "We ready Lazar? " * Peter draws his crossbow. * Lazar turns to Chomei. "We wait minute, let them get in position, then we go." * SpiritRei follows. ~Aww, c'mon, Maria. I'm always quiet. And stealthy. Like ninja!~ Ready, Chomei? Are they in position? * Maria tries not to snicker too loudly at Rei's proclamation. ^_^ Should be... Rei, are they ready? Here way we do. Walk down street as if just passing by. When across from bar, I charge through door, you follow. Okay, sounds good... * Peter frowns. "I hope this goes okay.." * Lazar walks out onto the street, and heads in the direction of the bar, staying on the opposite side of the street. * Maria unlockes the door quietly, just as she did last night. She comments to Peter (and Rei, presumably) "Now, the bartender's between us and them. But I don't think he'll do much." ~Gotcha. I'll give 'em the signal.~ * SpiritRei 'yells' to Chomei and Lazar, though only they can hear it. ~Ready!~ * Lazar nods. "Ready, Chomei?" * Peter whispers. "I'll keep an eye on him." * Chomei follows Lazar. * Maria opens the door, and sneaks stealthily in. Sneaksneaksneak. She makes sure she doesn't go so far in as to be in plain sight. Let's do this. * SpiritRei zips in after Maria, looking around. [Lazar sees four people. Short descriptions: 1) Russian who looks like Dimitri, but younger and with more hair. 2) Spikey-haired, kinda thin Japanese guy. 3) Girl in Chinese clothes. 4) Young, non-descript bartender.] * Lazar sets himself, and charges at the bar door, trying to shoulderblock his way through. [And before Lazar does that, Maria might wanna make a pick locks roll.] * Chomei runs in right behind Lazar. [Maria picks the lock.] [Lazar, make an unarmed attack roll for the front door :P] ( Which sounds silly, since I'm doing the rolls, but... ^^; ) [Lazar bashes right through the door. This causes an immediate "What the hell?!" or similar comment from all of the people inside. And now I gotta roll init for everyone x.x. Be patient] [Chomei, Spikey-haired Guy, Maria, Chinese Girl, Rei, Peter, Bartender, DimitriDouble, Lazar] ( After Lazar, GM self-destructs x.x ) [Chomei's turn!] ( Boom! ) * Chomei looks at the group who they just barged in on. He spots the group and fires an invisible arrow at the bunch. ( Lazar a la` soup. ) [There's a loud shrieking in that direction, and they cover their ears.] [Spikey-haired Guy's turn] [The Spikey haired guy grabs an ashtray off a table and throws it at Chomei. It connects with Chomei's forehead with a *thunk*] [Maria's turn] * Maria dashes in and aims a kick at the spikey haired guy. [The Spikey-haired guy doesn't even notice Maria until she kicks him solidly in the chest, knocking him against the far wall.] [Chinese Girl's turn] [The Chinese Girl flicks her wrists, and two fans drop out of her sleeves. She runs forward and strikes at Maria with them, missing with the first, but hitting with the second. It's a lot more painful than one would expect a fan to be.] [Rei's turn] ~Hey, meanie!~ * SpiritRei flies over in front of the Chinese girl and points at her. ~One two three white out!~ * Dicesuke has joined #BESM * ChanServ sets mode: +v Dicesuke ( Yay :P ) 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for SpiritRei (2d6-1) and gets 3. (There we go. ^^) [Peter's turn] * Peter fires a shot at Fan-girl. * Maria is not the chinese girl's biggest fan, right now. *rimshot* ( No, Maria got hit with her biggest fan. ) 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Peter (2d6-3) and gets 1. (/me hits the drumbs again. Ba-dum ching!) [The girl hops back, and the bolt flies past and hits the wall.] [Bartender's turn] [The bartender shrieks and dives behind the bar.] [Russian Guy's turn] [The Russian guy pulls two giant tonfa out from beneath his trenchcoat, just like Dimitri. He charges at Lazar, yelling. "I vill defend the peace of Amigo's vith my life!" ] ( 3 pts for the ref, and Lazar needs to defend two times, the second at +2. ) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-2) and gets 5. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6) and gets 4. ( Double success. ) [Lazar blocks both incoming attacks with his big, strong arms.] ( He's a keeper, ladies :P ) [Lazar's turn] ( What is Lazar? A guy with lasers attached with his big, strong arms? ) ( Hey Rei, think you can run with that?) (Too tired to follow up. :P) * Lazar scowls, and tosses a right uppercut at the Russian guy. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-2) and gets 0, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "I love you. Do you love me too? Y_ N_" ( ... Well. ) ( Oh, I'll bet she can. Or could, normally. ) ( Goodbye Russian Head. ) [Lazar hits him so hard he's lifted off the ground and puts a hole in the ceiling before falling back down.] ( From Russia with a Black Eye. ) (That'll leave a mark.) [He's not out, though!] ~Hello, I think Lazar just hit the bell! He wins a cupie doll!~ [Chomei's turn] ( Yeah. In the cieling. c.c ) * Chomei takes aim and shoots at the Russian man, trying to take him down for the count. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-2) and gets 7. (Hit) [Chomei plugs him in the shoulder, and that's enough.] [Spikey's turn] ( Note that Lazar still has his human illusion on, BTW. =P ) [The spikey-haired guy grabs a nearby wine bottle and flings it at Maria!] (We have our thrown weapons expert!) 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (2d6-4) and gets 1. ( Maria needs to defend :P ) [Maria defends. :P] ( That's a defend, yes. ^^ ) [It's Maria's turn] [The last 6 lines have had "Maria" in them, counting this one.] * Maria idly dodges the bottle, then runs up to the spikey-haired guy and punches him in the gut. 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (2d6-5) and gets -3, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "I hate these guys. Give 'em one for me." ( ... Well. ) ( ... Well c.c ) ( Maria OWNZORS. And this makes nine line... damn. You broke the chain. ;_; ) ( Dicey's making up for his tardyness. ) [He responds by throwing up a lot of blood all over Maria. :P] ( .. Well, Ew. Has he been playing River City Ransom? ) [Chinese girl's turn] ~See? Stains! You dork.~ Maria, we need them alive! Tell Lazar that! * Maria scowls. "I know! Didn't think he'd be so weak." [The Chinese girl runs up to Maria and... trips! Maria needs to make a melee defense roll at -1 bonus :P] ( ...What an attack. ) (She must be related to Lei-Fang.) 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (2d6-5) and gets -3, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "My momma always said, you gotta take the good with the bad. Here's some good." (... Stop hogging all the successes!) ( o_O ) ( ...yeah, I think I made that. ) ( Holy shit. ) (What the...) [Um, well.... Maria steps out of the way.] ( It's like Maria's living in Bullet Time or something. o_O ) [Rei's turn!] ( Go Rei! Get that Crit fa-, uh, yeah. ) * SpiritRei grabs a nearby bottle of wine and floats over. ~Kaput!~ She tries thwapping the girl on the head with it while she's down. Rei's so nice. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for SpiritRei (2d6) and gets 8. [Rei smashes the bottle a bit off to the side :P] [Peter's turn] ~Aww, man. I can't hit for shit. Guess this combat stuff really isn't my thing.~ * Peter fires again. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Peter (2d6-3) and gets 5. [Peter shoots her, and she's out like a light.] * SpiritRei blinks as the bolt goes through her. ~Watch it! If my body were here- well, no, it's not. I guess it's okay then. Carry on, carry on.~ * Lazar eyes the hole in the ceiling. "Wow. No mean to hit him THAT hard..." Ahem. * Chomei looks up at the new skylight and pats Lazar on the back. "You hit him helluva hard." ... wait. I did. *grin* * Maria frowns. "Wow. I thought that'd be a little harder." She glances at the guy she slugged. "Sorry about that." * Peter goes to check on the hurt people, seeing how bad they're hurt. We interrogate now? I think we can give them some time to wake up first. I have rope, if Prof here thinks they should be tied up. [The lanky guy is the worst off. The Chinese girl is practically uninjured, and the Dimitri guy is bruised, but he looks like he can take it.] Tie them up. .. I'm starting to wonder if we have the right people however. * Lazar takes the tonfa away from the Russian, and eyes them. Me too... I really hope we didn't just beat up some innocents. * Maria shakes her head. "I heard this guy saying he was trying to break into Interpol files. This's gotta be them." [Lazar notices that they look wooden, but are actually steel.] Interpol files? Hm. She gestures to the lanky guy. "This was the guy doing the hacking when I was in here last." * SpiritRei floats over and peers at them. ~Heeeey, nice. I wonder if these can turn into guns, too. That'd be pretty cool.~ * Lazar decides to hold onto 'em for the time being. "If want, you can look at them when we done." * Maria pulls out her nylon rope. "How we gonna do this, prof? Tie all three of 'em together at the wrists?" Your choice. * Chomei shrugs. "I'm no boyscout." ~Really? Aww, thanks, Lazar. I'm touched.~ * Maria shrugs, and ties the three together at their wrists using a complex series of knots an' stuff. She considers this, then covers some of the knots with duct tape. [Suddenly the bartender runs out from behind the bar and out the back!] * Chomei runs after him. Damn it! * Maria runs after him! * SpiritRei blinks and zips after him. ~Chomei and I'll handle- aww, come on!~ ~Someone's gotta stay and watch those guys!~ * Lazar stays with the prisoners. I got it. I'll stay as well. Just in case. ( That would be our 800 pound granite slab there. ) ( Gah. Tired. ((_@ ) * Lazar palms his medallion, shimmers, instant golem. "If going to interrogate, golem form more intimiadating, no?" 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (2d6-4) and gets 6. [So, you're babysitting three unconscious bodies. Whatcha gonna do? :P] * Peter yawns. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (2d6-4) and gets 0. * Lazar eyes the hole in the ceiling again. "I hit that hard now... imagine if I was complete golem." Might have launched into orbit. ... wonder if hitting metal demon with van would hurt it. Please don't. I know, I know... but would hitting demon with big, big thing work? Probably. Then all we have to do is lure demon to parking garage, let me throw cars at it, no? *grin* Or anvils. Anvils work too. Indeed. Like to hit stupid mask guy with anvil... *muttermutter* ... any legends talk of bag with infinate anvils? ( Wouldn't there need to be an Elemental Plane of Anvils for that to work? ) One or two. ... ooh. Any happen to be near here? ^_^ No. Darn. ... bag of boulders? [From outside, you hear. "... aaaaAAAAH!"] ... what that? * Maria comes in, leading the bartender along. The bartender is bawling. Ah. That that. * Bartender has joined #besm * SpiritRei floats in. ~Peter, Lazar, got any surefire ways of getting this guy to shut up or maybe just stop crying and thinking we're gonna kill him when we're not honest really truly?~ * Chomei is following close behind. "God, that man just won't pay attention." * Bartender sees Lazar and faints! ~Thank you!~ ...solves that problem. (Lazar, he even scares the GM!) Glad to help. (Lazar, breakfast of champions!) Thanks rockman. (I pity the foo' that messes wit' Lazar!) ( He does. Have you tried to read his character sheet? :P ) * Maria drags the bartender to a seat and sits him in it. And ties his ankles together for now. Okay... we should wake up sleeping people. ( Hey, my char sheet is organized in a very logical fashion! =P ) * SpiritRei floats over to the bar. * Maria sighs. "A doctor, right. He probably faints at the sight of blood." But Lazar's not bleeding. * SpiritRei grabs a couple glasses and fills them with water. ~Since when'd Lazar bleed?~ If prick me, I no bleed. ...that last statement had nothing to do with Lazar.
