[Day: Still Sunday, June 5th! Time: 3:30 p.m.] (Uh, June 19th, right?) ... [Day: Still Sunday, June 19th! Not June 5th! Time: 3:30 p.m.] [Earlier (but not much), you were warped into a video game where you defeated a bunch of officers, got powerups, avoided Lu Bu after figuring out how fricken' tough he is, and completely missed the HP +10 item. Then the computer spat everyone out into a room with two confused guys.] [As the guys asked the appropriate question: "What the hell?!", Eoi casually leaned back on the computer and hit enter, and got sucked back in along with Peter.] [Session Start!] * Lazar facepalms. * Chie watches Eoi get sucked back in, with the prof. "Oh, *nice* one, Eoi- sensei." Eoi, don't push that- damn. [The screen displays a message: "Everything is fine, nothing is ruined."] * Chie then turns to the two guys and waves. "Hi there! You aren't evil programmers, are you? 'Cause we've sort of been there and done that already." ... We don't have to go in there again, do we? * Chomei rubs his head and takes a seat. "If they're evil, tell them to fight us tomorrow, okay?" Er... what's going on, exactly? That's what I want to know! What, is this another stage? Do we need to fight more generals? It looks like a different game altogether. Maybe not even a game. The guys eye Chie, then speak to each other in Chinese. "Man, where'd you get that thing?" "I don't know, but I wish I just threw it in the dumpster." "Hold on, that one gal there is pretty cute..." * Lazar cheerfully LOOMS over the two. "Answer questions of little ones, please?" * Shigeru eyes Lazar. "Down." * Chie looks at the two guys, then speaks in Chinese. "Um, hello?" * Maria blinks. "What're they sayin'?" They're confused and they think you're cute. * Chomei leans back and closes his eyes. * Lazar eyes Shigeru. "I just looming! Yoy yeeshdanim..." * Makoto raises his hand. "I'm confused and I think she's cute, too." The guys both stop and look at Chie, then speak to each other some more. "" "" * Chie raises an eyebrow. "" Hey! Uhm. Wait. * Maria seems confused on how to react to that. "" (Yes, but does she also think she's cute?) "" ( She hasn't bothered to form an opinion on the matter... I think. ) The second guy shrugs and looks at the first. "" Then he goes to a nearby TV and starts channel surfing. * Shigeru sighs and points at the computer, looking to the first guy. "" * Makoto watches and listens, even if he doesn't understand. * Rei fidgets. And looks around. And glances at the TV. Anything good on? The guy says simply, <"Some people left it at a cafe. They didn't say they were returning, and the owner didn't know what to do with it, so I figured Hey! Free computer.>" * Lazar mutters something in Hungarian. Now what's he saying? * Chie looks at Shigeru and Rei. "That's yours, Mr. Ueda?" They don't look like they're taking us very seriously. Should I beat 'em up? [Rei spies... Kung Fu show, environmental presentation, Kung Fu show, talk show, Kung Fu show, soap opera, Kung Fu show, Reality show, Reality Kung Fu show, and Kung Fu: the Legend Continues Some More.] * Chomei mutters something. * Makoto glances at Maria. "I don't think violence is necessary yet. Strictly speaking." (No Kung Fu talk show or Kung Fu soap opera?) "" * Maria goes over and watches TV too. "Pssh. They're so fake." ( Not the reality Kung Fu show! :P ) * Shigeru smiles somewhat sympathetically. "" The inertia comes from nowhere! Stand. Inertia! Stand. Inertia! Random flying energy! * Chie looks over at Rei and blinks. "The what?" Rei is having a vision. Very prophetic. The boy flips to another channel. "" * Chomei snoozes. Oh, like if you were to run into Chomei and tackle him into the ground, you need to I am? I always thought I needed more visions. 'Xactly! IT makes so sense! * Rei blinks and looks at the television. "Uh..." Hm? * Lazar wanders over to the TV, since he has nothing better to do. He then notices his illusion is still down... *palms pendant; raises illusion* * Chie looks at the TV. "A what?" * Shigeru glances at the TV, then grabs his computer, checking it over to make sure they didn't spill anything on it, stupid kids. "" ...is that Lazar? * Chie files away the information on tackling Chomei, though. ^_^ * Lazar eyes the TV. "No think so. I here. I think." * Lazar patpats. "Yup, I here." * Chie frowns. "That's not one of those things from that tomb, is it?" * Maria blinks. Is it? [The TV shows the outside of the First Emperor's tomb, where the two guards you saw before are firing at one of the terracotta warriors that made its way out of the cave.] Oh, great. It is. * Makoto watches the television. "Uh-oh." * Chie sighs. "This *can't* be good." * Chomei looks up. "What can't be good?" 'Course it can't. Uh... where are we and how far away is that? * Shigeru keeps the computer open. "Let's go." He looks to the guys. "" See? Told you statues no good. Can tell by beady eyes. * Chie points to the TV. "That." * Chomei looks at the TV. "Aw man." Yeah. You shoulda' clobbered 'em before, Laz. Oh, and who doesn't think this is a trap to get us there? Hey, maybe it's just a coincidence! ...okay, yeah, it's a trap. * Chomei sees a lack of hands. "So, does anyone have coffee?" Well, that's definitely something we need to stop. Give me a few months and I'll make a TANG disruptor cannon that'll blow their socks off, only they don't have socks, so I guess it's kinda pointless. "" But it never trap! And after a few months those things might take over the world. * Chie eyes Chomei. "Didn't you get enough earlier?" * Chomei shakes his head. "I think it wore off." No more coffee, Cho. You gotta cut back. It's not good for ya'. ( *BarryWhite voice* I can't get enough of your love, baby. ... ... I'm talking to the coffee machine. *WHAP* ) * Shigeru grins. "Good boys," he says quietly and in Japanese, before he turns to the others. "Come on." He makes his way out of the building. Okay, don't blame me if I shoot you in the back when I can't tell you from the other guys. *smirk* * Chie follows Mr. Ueda. (Chomei, you're deaf. Not blind. ;p) [The two guys are paying so much attention to the newscast that they barely notice you leave their apartment.] * Lazar follows. Wow, Chomei, I must really be rubbing off on you. * Makoto follows, too. * Rei scurries after him. "Wow, I guess there are more Chomeis in the world. And here I was hoping you were one of a kind." * Maria looks around before going. They have any expensive-looking stuff? * Chomei gets up and hurries after everyone else. One of whom? Me or Chomei? Yes! [Maria finds the most expensive things in the apartment: An engineering text book and a calculus text book. Those prices are criminal.] (YES.) (I agree.) (YES YES YES!) (I paid 80 bucks for a 200 page textbook. ;_;) [Unfortunately, they're only worth about .005 of the price you paid when you sell them back.] ( Hehe. ) * Maria ponders taking them anyway, and then shrugs and decides to just rob the college bookstore when she gets back to Tokyo. [The apartment building itself is very averagish.] * Shigeru keeps walking, back to the cafe. He's frowning faintly. * Maria sighs and keeps up witht he others. * Rei idly scratches at the back of her head. "Man, now Eoi and Peter have to play through another game and get all the power ups without me. What's up with that?" * Chie follows along. She rummages in her bag, and pulls out the scroll. "Hey, I've still got this. Cool." * Lazar lumbers along. "Wonder if there is intelligence power up..." [Walk walk walk they go! It takes several minutes to get back there on account of you have neither the van nor red hare.] * Makoto pats Rei's shoulder. "It's okay, cutie. You can still save the world." * Chie tucks it away. "I'll figure out what it does later." (Too bad it wasn't DW3. Then we could kill Lu Bu and a thousand troops to get the saddle.) * Chomei looks sleepy. "Yeah. Later..." Yeah, but I'd be doing it without meatbuns! * Maria rummeges in her backpack, and pulls out... a pointed helmet. "I still got this. What the hell am I going to do with this?" * Rei looks. "Oooh, cool! Wear it! Wear it!" * Chomei glances over. "You're a valkerie now?" Is nice helmet. I'm telling you, she needs a spear to go with the magic helmet. Then she needs to learn to sing opera. * Chie laughs. ...no. It's big and metal. And what's a valyrie? You're not callin' me somethin' lewd, are you? * Chomei chuckles. Nah, would I ever do that? I know Makoto would, but me? ...point. Hey! I wouldn't... well... it would depend... But what is it? Um... I think they're women from some mythology that rode down from the sky with lightning and stuff and wore pointed helmets and armor and spears and stuff. (Yeah, he's not thinking straight. :P) (Does he ever? ^_~) (Shhh!) (Ha! ;p) ... would no lightning plus metal be bad? ...oh. Cool! Yes, lighting plus metal is bad. But don't tell the people that wrote about it that. * Shigeru runs a hand through his hair and glances down at his computer, though he doesn't actually look at the screen. Okay. Lips sealed. Even though I have no lips. They're all dead anyway. Not like anyone actually wrote it originally, since that was when stories were passed around using verbal components. Like spiders. ... Well, not really like spiders, but spiders are cool. You have semi-sortalips. I think. They're close enough. Point. * Lazar mutters. "People what sculpt golem could have given good hairdo, at least..." I never really liked spiders. Just wear a wig. ... no. Or not. * Rei blinks at Makoto. "Really? Why not?" She makes crawly motions with her hands. "Craaaaawly spiders. In your hair!" What about a marble wig, or something? * Makoto puts his head under Rei's wiggling hands and pushes against them a little, like a cat being petted. * Makoto purrs. "A little to the left, please." ... no wig. Better I be bald golem then stupid-looking golem. * Rei laughs and does that. "Wow, you purr! Do it again. Are you sure you're not part cat person? Should you be the one with the tail? A cat tail, not a fox tail, I mean." Nah. He's not cool enough for a tail. * Makoto purrs some more. "No, I can't. I'll work on that. Very nice scalp massage, cutie. Thank you." He's had a tail before, though. That's right, I have. * Rei beams and gives him an extra scratch. "Welcome." ... so, we need go destroy priceless Chinese artifacts, no? * Chomei raises an eyebrow. "He had a tail? I guess so. Kinda' sucks to have to destroy them, tho. Lessens resale value. Yeah, the night we all went and got... *looks over at Rei's dad* ...err, never mind. * Shigeru glances at his watch. "You wouldn't sell them, anyway." * Chomei nods. "Ah, yeah. Okay." * Lazar mmms. "Show cheap knock-offs how real golem made..." *grin* * Chomei dozes off as he's walking, and snaps up again when he starts to veer off course. ... well, no actually show them how golem made. That take too long, and they hit me in meantime. More like show why real golem better... * Chie taps Chomei on the arm. "Wake up, Chomei." Heh. * Chomei wakes up. "What?" * Maria yawns. You look like you were falling asleep. Uhm... so, how're we gonna get there? Drive! Like driving people that drive things. ... although maybe I could bore them with lesson so much they go back to being statues... hmm... I would suggest walking, but I really have no idea where we are, or where we're going. Places. Yeah. The prof had the keys for the van... ooh! I can take Eoi-sensei's bike! Except he probably has the keys. Dammit. Well, we can always hotwire the van, but then I dunno if the rental company would get mad at us- okay, they'd probably get mad at us. Maria could hotwire a double decker bus for us. Hey, Rei, think you could hotwire the van? * Rei nods. * Makoto makes sounds from the theme of the show "An Hour or Two After Twilight Zone." * Maria grins. "I know I could. Been a while, but still." We were all thinking the same thoughts. Spooky. * Shigeru pulls out a small phone and dials a number, then starts talking into it. He more or less ignores you guys as he walks. Problem solved, then. Now all we have to figure out is what to do when we get there. Hit the statues a lot? Yeah, but how much will that hurt them? Sounds good, but how good are you at punching thru rock? Very! Or just ignore them, go to the place where the emperor's body is, and hope that whoever's making them walk around is there? If we can get past them. Oh, we get past... I wonder if I could just ward the whole place... but that wouldn't really solve the problem. That'd just keep them inside. Do you know if it's spirits doing it? I won't know until we get there. My senses aren't *that* good. * Chie half-smiles. * Chomei shrugs. "You coulda just been holding out on us." Hey, Chie? If we got you one of those dog-collars that's shaped like a radar dish, would that help you sense things? Only if we also gave her a tinfoil hat. Otherwise, the aliens will start transmitting harmful brain-frying waves into her. Believe me, Chomei, I wouldn't withold something that'd help us all out. And *no*, Makoto. Yeah, you're right. [A van comes rolling up, and parks next to the cafe.] * Makoto snaps his fingers in mock disappointment. I'm always right! Except when I'm left. * Shigeru nods. "There's our ride." * Chie grins. ... Right. Absolutely! ...oh. So we're hotwiring that van and not Peter's? I don't think there's any hotwiring needed. * Makoto seems a little distracted all of a sudden. "Oh, okay. Ride is good." Neither do I. * Maria pouts. "Darn." [The guy inside the van would tell you otherwise if he'd heard.] * Shigeru leads the way. To the van! * Chie hops into the van! * Lazar get in at shotgun so he doesn't crush anyone on a hard turn. Oh, damn. I guess I don't get to drive. * Chomei hops in back, where he can get some sleep on the way there. z_z * Rei gets in the van. * Maria gets in the van! * Makoto gets in the van, too, only this time he makes a point not to get between Chie and Rei. * Maria sits on one side of Makoto, with Rei on the other. * Chie is, apparently, not sitting next to Rei this time. ^^; * Chie shrugs, and moves into the back. * Shigeru gets in last. "We need to go to the first emperor's tomb." * Chie curls up in the back seat, careful not to disturb Chomei. * Chomei snoozes away. Unlike a lot of other rude stuff he's done, he doesn't snore. To which the driver replies, "DuUUuuUUuuUUh! Righty ho! First emperor's tomb is is." The driver starts driving. ... * Maria sleeps! * Shigeru ignores that. Really. * Rei grumbles. "Should've let me drive." * Chie pretends she didn't hear that. * Makoto tries to ignore it. Really he does. * Chie alternates between staring out the window, and at the back of Makoto's head. * Lazar stares out the front window. [He stops at the base of the mountain, where the reporters are being kept at bay by the police.] * Chomei did make sure to buckle up! Thanks. * Shigeru climbs out of the van and waits for the rest of you. * Chomei snoozes away, oblivious to the fact that they're stopped. * Maria scowls. Police. Driver: "DuUUuuUUuuUUh! Righty ho! Don't mention it." * Makoto climbs out, too. When it's his turn. * Chie taps Chomei on the arm. "We're here." * Chomei wakes up. "Wha? I didn't do it!" Oh... Right. * Chie grins. "Sure you didn't. Let's go." * Rei smacks Chomei before getting out of the van. * Chie hops out of the van, frowning breifly at Rei's back. * Chomei unbuckles and gets out once he has the chance. He also rubs his head. What was that for? * Maria hops out of the van. Not much of a nap, but it'll do. * Lazar gets out. Being Chomei! I didn't hurt you, did I? I mean, maybe I killed some braincells, and I guess I could make a mean crack about that, but I didn't, right? * Chomei stretches once he gets out. He looks around. "No and no." * Chie looks at the mob of reporters. "So, what now?" * Shigeru looks over at Rei and frowns just a little before walking up the mountain. Okay, that. * Rei smiles sheepishly. "Uh... I guess we gotta get in." * Chie follows Mr. Ueda. You know what I heard the other day? Brain cells go around getting themselves killed all the time. Like, you could kill brain cells just brushing your teeth. * Makoto follows along, clearly ditracted by a million and one things that are ~not~ terra-cotta soldiers come to life. [Suddenly Shig's computer pops open, and spits Eoi and Peter out.] * Chomei finishes stretching, and heads up after Mr. Ueda. * Maria follows! "Heya, Prof, Mr. Eoi." * Shigeru jerks his computer away from Eoi before he can do a damn thing. "Welcome back." * Lazar follows. "Hey Peter, Naginata Lad." * Chie grins. "Hey, welcome back Eoi-sensei! You too, prof." * Atom is now known as Peter Hey, you live! Was Santa at the end of the final level? * Chomei looks at them. "Welcome back to reality, where life can really suck." * Peter eyes you all. "What on earth are you talking about?" No, Chomei, life really sucks in space. But space counts as reality, I guess. Even if it's not directly relevant to the reality in which we presently find ourselves. Oh, hey Professor. Long time no see. You got sucked into a computer, prof. Exactly Makoto. Uh..huh. * Eoi shrugs. "Probably did. Stuff happens. It's all the will of the Naginata." * Chie rolls her eyes. "Hey, Eoi-sensei..." You were right about the statues. I really wish you hadn't been. * Chomei sighs. "Let's just get this over with." Wait, what's going on? Someone explain. * Shigeru sighs. There's at least one stone warrior walking out of the tomb. We saw some of those Pottery Barn rejects attacking cops on television. The clay sculptures are running around hitting people. ...yeah, what they all said. Well, I dunno if they're doing as much running as they are hitting. * Chomei nods. In short, it's not good. Big shock. Watch my surprise. Do you see it? * Eoi has a straight face. Maria was secretly gloating about the abuse of law enforcement officers at the hands of ceramic dolls, but she thought it would be rude to scream "Booya, suckas" at the television. You're the one that jinxed us, Eoi-sensei. * Peter sighs. "I supposed we should have foreseen this. Shall we be off?" * Chomei starts walking. "I don't know about you guys, but I'm already off." * Shigeru nods and keeps walking. * Chie follows along. "Yeah." * Lazar walks/lumbers. * Maria blinks at Makoto. "Why'd that be rude?" Because then people would want to arrest you maybe? Though that's not really a reason for it to be rude, uh... Psh. People already wanna arrest me. They're all jerks, tho. * Makoto hurries to keep up, and glances at Maria. "I'm not sure, but it is. I was trying to make the others believe that you were a person of restraint and thoughtfulness, Maria. Way to ruin the image I so carefully crafted for you on a restaurant napkin three nights ago." * Peter rubs his head. "While is this cute, we simply must be going before someone gets killed." Damn. Have I thwarted your secret plan, Mako? * Chie snickers and keeps walking. Well, I dunno if trying to keep your stuff makes you a jer- restaurant napkin- I think I'm getting dizzy. * Maria keeps walking, too. * Chomei is walking. Eh? Rei, you okay? * Makoto grouses and points ahead. "Yes, Maria, you did. Now, go smash those soldier thingies for us." [You get to the crowded area, where the police are keeping reporters at bay.] * Rei blinks a few times. "Yeah, I'm okay. Somebody catch me if I fall over like a dipping bird. Or a different way. Sure thing, Rei. * Chie looks somewhat concerned now. ( Wai! Smash! ) * Shigeru looks for the Guy In Charge (tm). * Chomei stops at the crowd. "Who wants to do the honors?" Someone who isn't me. * Maria looks around for Lieutenant Jerk, so she can avoid him by... uh... avoiding him. * Eoi points his thumb at Shigbob Udeapants. "I'd say he's a good choice, but I always say that." * Rei notices Maria's look. "Y'know, I don't think he woulda followed you all the way to China. Probably. If he did, he's got issues." * Peter broods, because his player is lost. What, you didn't already think he's got issues? I'd say he's just very dedicated to his profession. * Makoto keeps a worried eye on Rei. Like I said. He's got issues. And allergies. Allergies? Achoo. * Eoi sagenods. He's allergic to something? What is it? Tellmetellme! It's a bad pun, but maybe he really does have allergies, and that's why he's so cranky all the thank you, Eoi! ... Well, I guess I could hack into his medical records. Anything for you Reibot. ( Chomei's hair stands up and he's bloody stupid!) ...Okay, you've lost me. (*cracks up*) ... Right. Well, he allergic to fists... (That phrase gets used a lot around Eoi. Wonder why...) * Makoto shakes his head. Now he's getting confused, too. * Shigeru gives up and walks to one of the police officers. Right, so where are the ancient automatons? * Chie just gives up and watches the group. * Chomei taps his foot impatiently. He says quietly to Chie: "So, where did you get confused?" * Maria looks around for any rampaging terra-cotta warriors. When they started talking about the guy who's after Maria. Why would he be here, of all places? He's psycho? * Makoto nods. That might do it, yes. [Maria doesn't see any. But she can assume that there are some. Why? Because of the police and reporters.] See? Eoi agrees. I must be right. * Chomei scratches his head. "That's about where I lost it too." [The officer turns to regard Shig. ""] I'm just going to wait for Mr. Ueda to get us in. * Shigeru nods. "" He flashes the shiny Interpol badge. ( Wai! Badge so shiny! ) (*_* I want one! Oh wait, I have one.) ( Badge, blinding, eyes, can't, see!) ( Oh, wait, that's just the light reflecting off of Rei's clothing.) * Eoi is temporarily hypnotized by the shiny badge... okay, he isn't, but wouldn't that be funny? (Yes.) ( Dammit, who made the badges out of John's teeth?! ) ( Heehee! ) He looks at the badge to see that it's authentic. "" * Shigeru nods. "" He looks to the others. "Go on up." ( The statues are doomed. ) * Makoto nods and proceeds "on up." * Chie nods. "Right. C'mon, guys." * Chomei looks over at Shig and nods. * Chie heads up. * Chomei heads up after Chie. ( With this group? Probably. ) * Rei goes! Up the alley! Only there isn't an alley. * Lazar follows the others. "So what deal?" * Peter follows quietly, because Peter is quiet. And boring, but also quiet. * Eoi follows. (Peter needs to learn magic.) * Shigeru starts walking, thinking to them, ~We're going to take care of the problem. Try not to damage the statues more than you have to.~ * Chomei smirks to himself. He concentrates. I'll *try*... [Chomei does not gain psychic powers.] (Because he's out of coffee!) (He doesn't want them. ;p) ... what, we supposed to tickle them into submission? [Right near the entrance, you see a guard, crouching over the remains of one of the warriors.] * Makoto produces a yo-yo from one of his many pockets. It does not have a Bash rating of 20 or more, and is not likely to damage any statues too severely. * Rei does not have a yo-yo, so she does not pull one out. * Maria is still wearing her SmiteGloves, so she doesn't get anything out. * Shigeru runs over to one of the guards. "" (Well, the crouching guard. You know.) * Chie waits on drawing her weapon. * Peter has his crossbow out. * Eoi doesn't have El Naginato, president of Mexico out. [The guard looks up then points at the warrior. "<... It's fake.>" * Lazar draws his fis- oh, wait. What's he saying? * Shigeru blinks. "" * Chie blinks. <"Fake? Where'd it come from?"> Um, that the statue's fake. I guess we don't need to worry about decapitating them after all. Eh? What'shesaywhat'shesay? He nods. "" * Shigeru frowns and takes a look. * Peter examines it. Huh? ( Gimme a physical sciences roll (chemistry ) * Maria looks at the remains of the statue! The statue's a fake, apparently. ( Whoever's examining it. ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Peter (2d6) and gets 3. But they haven't said where it's coming from yet. Oh, well, that's a relief. Now I can throw EXTRA-harsh language at them. ... so we no have to noogie into submission? * Eoi doesn't examine, just to be different! * Chomei's too lazy to examine. ( Chomei: Hear hear. z.z ) ( Ooh, Chie! He's lazy too. I like him. Go get married! ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Shigeru (2d6) and gets 2, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "Fight! For everlasting love and peace!" 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (2d6) and gets 3. [Those who make it realize it looks more like paper-mache (machet? Mashae? I dunno) than terracotta.] (It's a paper machette) ( That wouldn't hurt much. ) * Makoto looks over at Peter. What's that, Professor? Like a giant puppet? ...oh, *hell.* Puppets. You guys don't think...? * Shigeru frowns and reaches over, tracing something on the "statue". "" * Chomei scratches his head. Puppets? Captain Marionette came back from the grave to seek revenge on Shigeru? How strange.. I'm waiting for that, but he'd better come with mustard. That's actually kind of encouraging. Where there are puppets, there's a puppeteer. We can just find him, take him out, and then the problem's solved. * Rei scratches at the back of her head, peering at the statue. * Chie shakes her head. "Never mind. I'm gettin' paranoid. And... mustard?" Long story I really don't want to go into right now. ...the hell is this? ... we go hit people what need be hit now? Okay. * Shigeru switches to Chinese. "" Says the guard, "" Aww. No fighting. * Peter breaths a sigh of relief. You know, sometimes peace is the preferable answer. Like piece of pie. Everyone likes pie. I'd rather be having pie right now, actually. [He nods.] I'll make you some! Once we finish this, get some supplies, and a kitchen area. * Chomei shakes his head. "So where's the problem?" * Chie smiles at Rei. "Yay! You're the best, Rei! So let's get this over with!" * Shigeru sighs. "" Well, you know the motto Shig. If it ever sounds easy, it isn't. * Makoto grins crookedly at Eoi. And if it doesn't, then it really isn't. Of course! You guys are bundles of optimism. Did I ever tell you that? * Chomei sighs. "Let's just get going, okay?" * Chie nods. "Hey, I believe it." Rei, your dad's friends are cool. Hey! What about my friends? I don't get any friends now? * Chie grins at Makoto. Oh, your friends are fine too. But they throw paper airplanes at me and stick gum on my chair in class. Aww, the airplanes didn't hurt that much. Well, so do his! At least, I think they do. I saw Eoi with a paper airplane before. He tried to hit me with it. * Makoto smiles cheekily at Chie. "Sush, you." I swear the gum wasn't mine. It wasn't! * Chie just grins. * Makoto snickers. That's because you were tossing them at me Rei. I had to fight back. Besides, you're lucky they didn't put it in your hair. ... Point. And it wasn't a plane, it was a Super Stealth Naginata. Hey! No fighting back! It's in the rules! Maybe should talk less, go find bad guy before make diorama? Super Stealth Naginata? * Shigeru snickers and heads on into the tomb. "C'mon, kids." * Rei storms after him. "And I'm not a kid!" * Lazar follows. * Makoto follows without question. He's probably not going to do a lot of fighting anyway. * Eoi heads after Shigeru. "Who you callin' kid?" * Chomei holds his head and heads into the tomb. * Peter heads after the others. * Chie follows along. You. I am! Or I could be, if you really wanted me to. I kind of big for kid. That's okay, Lazar. We all appreciate your youthful enthusiasm for bludgeoning enemies to bits. * Lazar grins. "Is what I do." * Rei grumbles, "And he's proud of it, too." * Makoto puts a hand lightly on Rei's arm, but doesn't say anything else on the subject. * Lazar eyes Rei, and shakes his head. [Session End]
