[Day: Thursday, July 15th. Time: 6:00 p.m.] [It's a day after your triumph over Asahara! After Lau's death and everyone was saved, you were all much to weak to be able to do all the stuff you wanted. Fortunately, Interpol sent backup forces to secure the area. Nikolai and Tianyi were taken somewhere to be examined. So was Kanjiro, but he was, uh, significantly more restrained.] [As for Kaira, she hasn't shown up since, although it's been reported that several Rei clones had been found, uh... disabled.] (Rei? Your mom is so dead.) [Now, you're all at the clubroom. 'Cause that's your HQ.] (Yeah, I know.) [Session Start!] * Rei is there, 'cause the GM says so. She's there, and she's sorta sitting on the teacher's desk and listlessly playing with her tail. * Asanjya is sitting on a desk, nervously reading. She occasionally glances around, frowns, and goes back to her book. * Lazar is leaning against a wall, and wiping his sword off with some Swiffer Blood-B-Gon wipes. * Chomei is doing the wall-leaning thing. No wings. * Chie is there, too, sitting against the wall near Chomei. She seems fairly despondent. * Lazar finishes up, and tosses the used wipes in the garbage. He lifts the sword up with one arm and examines it in the light, then nods and puts it back on his back. * Chie looks up. "Any word on... anything?" No. Need that orb back. Definetly need it back. Yes. I thought she was going to be there *with* us. Not run off to wherever. Well, unless you mom want you soul be eaten by angry demons, I think she be back. * Rei hugs herself. "I knew she wouldn't, but I thought she'd give it back. Asanjya and I put our lives on the line. We need it back. We- I put the world on the line." Does she even know about the whole Dracula thing? Could she have gone off to try and fight him herself? Explained it to her before, yeah. It's a stupid move regardless, but... If she no give back, we find her and take it back. * Asanjya flips a page. * Rei shifts. "But I thought she'd give it back." [The phone rings!] * Chie stands up. "I'll get it." * Chie walks over to the phone and picks it up. "Hello?" * Chomei hmmms. Might still. Forget if Blood Orb make immune to sun, but even if, she may no want to walk around in daytime to find us. It does. "You have? Okay, where are we supposed to go to meet it, and when's it arriving?" * Chie looks up and mouths "Naomi" at the group. * Chomei nods. * Rei looks up, then she nods. * Sakura is now known as Ked * Lazar tilts his head, and turns to the others. *quietly* "Who Nami?" Not Nami. Naomi. "And where?" Ah. Okay. "Okay. We'll be there as soon as we can. If we run into any delays, we'll call you and let you know." * Chie hangs up. Okay. Interpol's found the Belmont guy, and they want us to get to Hong Kong ASAP. What's up Chie? Oh goodie. How we gettin' there this time? There's already a transport waiting at the airport for us. * Chomei nods. So I guess the question is... how much searching for Kaira do we want to do before we absolutely have to go? I don't remember if we ever told them we had the Blood Orb or not, but somethin' tells me we don't wanna show up without it and have to explain where it is now. * Asanjya turns the page. "I need to find her. The orb must be recovered." I no think we can leave Japan without orb. * Lazar pauses. "She always seem show up when Rei in trouble. Maybe hang Rei from tall bui- no, wait, little one flies." *rubs head* * Chie glares at Lazar. "Don't even joke about things like that, Laz." * Chomei eyes Lazar then looks to the rest of the group. "We cannot leave without the orb. Period." * Lazar holds his hands up. "Not saying actually put in danger. Just make look like." *pauses* "But yeah, pretty dumb idea." We could split up, I guess. A couple of us go ahead while the rest say behind and look for the orb... but I hate splitting up, and chances are we might not have the time to regroup later. * Lazar turns to Rei. "You know any places she like to be?" Yeah, we have to find her. * Rei closes her eyes. "Might need to split up. Not really sure where she might be. I guess I could ask Dad and Eoi if they have any ideas." She opens her eyes and looks to Asanjya. Can you cook up a spell or something? [There's a knock on the door.] I could try finding a few demons... * Rei hops off the table and walks to the door, opening it. * Lazar opens the door. (I beat you.) * Lazar gets out of Rei's way! * Chomei looks at the door! OMFG! * Chie starts towards the door but is beaten by at least two people. [Nothing out there!] * Rei steps out and looks left, then right, then up. 2d6+4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6+4) and gets 14. 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6+2) and gets 14, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "You always hurt the ones you love. I love you very much." (Jesus Christ.) (;_;) (;_;) (Poor Rei.) * Rei looks around, then spots something. Her eyes widen, she shakes, and she backs into the room and SLAMS the door. * Asanjya blinks. "Rei?" Uh, Rei? What's wrong, Rei? What's out there? Laz, get ready. * Rei pushes a desk in front of the door. "There's a slime there! With eyes! And teeth! And it's gonna get us!" * Lazar blinks. * Asanjya blinks. * Chomei blinks. * Chie does not blink! "I find that... really odd." * Lazar lifts the desk, opens the door, and pokes his head outside, looking around. Are you *sure* that's what you saw? Yes! Well, get back, then. I'll protect you. * Chie heads towards the door. [The door does not eat Chie.] * Rei gets back. Waaaay back. By the window back. "Don't say I didn't warn you." (Laz opened the door before I got there.) 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6+2) and gets 6. ... I no see slime. * Lazar steps out into the hall, and looks around s'more. I'm telling you, it's out there! Maybe it run away? ... Are you sure? Oh, for the gods'... let me look. * Chie walks out past Lazar into the hallway. * Lazar walks back and forth in the hall. "I no getting attacked by slime." 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6) and gets 10. 2d6+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6+1) and gets 12. (...) (Dicy does not love MC any more.) [Chie finds a Blood Orb! ... By tripping on it.] (Any more?) (Dicey did not love MC in the first place. We only got lucky when I was on drugs.) Ack! * Chie flails and falls on her butt. Chie! What you trip ov- oh. Blood Orb. Cool. What'd I step on? Oh my god, the slime got Chie! * Chomei raises an eyebrow. "Uh... Chie, you okay?" * Lazar picks up the Blood Orb! Oh, hey. Awesome! That was the best reason to fall on my butt ever! * Lazar also picks up Chie! * Rei blinks, then floats over and looks out. Veeery hesitantly. * Asanjya looks up from her book. "What is it? * Rei sees that orb. * Rei smiles slowly, and it turns into the biggest grin ever. Wah! Thanks, Laz. * Lazar carries both back into the room. He hands the Blood Orb to Chomei, and Chie to Asanjya. * Lazar pauses. (*laughs*) Wait, that no right. * Rei sticks her head out the door, heedless of slimes, and yells, "THANK YOU, MOM! I'M SORRY I EVER DOUBTED YOU 'CAUSE I SHOULDN'T HAVE THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!" * Chomei snerks. * Asanjya blinks. "Lazar?" Why, Asanjya. I had no idea. * Rei zips to the window, opens it, and repeats herself as loudly as smorfy/humanly possible cross campus. [Chomei gains +1 Blood Orb.] * Chie smirks. * Lazar goes back to Asanjya, picks Chie up again, walks over to Chomei, hands Chie to Chomei, takes the orb, and gives it to Asanjya. [Asanjya gains +1 Chie.] * Chomei chuckles. And has a Blood Orb +1! * Asanjya uses the +1 Chie to be AWESOME. * Lazar dusts his hands. "There. Much better." (I grant awesome and hopefully counteract lame!) * Chie laughs. * Asanjya tucks the orb in her cloak. "Apologies, Chie, but I doubt you would fit in my cloak." * Chomei declines to comment. Well, I guess we need to pack our bags and head for the airport. And it's okay, Asanjya. While it's a nice cloak, I wouldn't really want to be there, either. * Rei squeals, then turns around and HUGS the first person she can find. It happens to be Asanjya. [Asanjya gains the effect: AWESOME] (^_^_v) * Asanjya is hugged. She looks decidedly unsure of what the hell to do about it. (But Kate's head is comfy!) YAY! Wow. I start trend. (Did I tell you to get out of my head this time? ;p) I trendsetter! *does a little jig* * Rei giggles, then hugs Chie! * Chie laughs and hugs Rei back. Can't you feel the love? * Lazar stops jigging. "... I need to never do that again." * Rei proceeds to hug- wait, no. She sees who her targets are, then stops and thinks about that. * Rei hugs Chomei anyway. * Chie grins. * Asanjya adjusts her cloak. "I feel.... uncertain. Perhaps pleased. I wonder if she had an ulterior motive for returning it." Well, we have it when we need it. (Nooo! Rei will become lame... but on the other hand Chomei might become less lame) Well, make sure it real first. If real... maybe she just no want break word to Rei? She's Rei's mother. *shrug* Hey, don't you go dissin' my momma! It certainly appears to be real. Perhaps I underestimated her. Or perhaps she was just threatened well enough. Rei's one of the few people in the world she really does care about, I guess. * Asanjya stands. "Shall we go to the airport?" Let's. Yeah. Back to China. *pauses* Wait, I hate China. *scowls* * Rei laughs. She grabs her backpack and heads to the window. "Oh yeah, and NYAH to anyone who thought she wouldn't return it. Including me. Twice the raspberries to me! I could use raspberries. They're tasty. Fruit!" * Rei jumps out. Damn, now I really want a raspberry smoothie. Maybe we can pick one up in the airport. Anyhow, let's go! Maybe? * Chie grabs Chomei's hand and pulls him out of the room towards her bike. * Chomei walks out the door! OMFG! * Rei calls from outside. "Last one to the airport pays for overpriced raspberry smoothies!" * Lazar eyes the departing Rei, facepalms, and heads out. * Chomei is pulled. ^^; (I win. ;p) ( Technically, Hong Kong isn't part of China in the MC2 universe. ) (Is it its own independent state? I've forgotten.) ( Yep ) (Have we been there yet, or just China?) ( Just China. ) (Hong Kong has random martial arts fights.) * Asanjya follows! [One spinning MC2 logo trans later, they're at the airport! There's a farily large plane waiting for them. Looks like a bomber. Standing nearby is a black guy wearing shades and a helmet with a mic. He must be the pilot. Or a very weird steward.] * Rei waves cheerfully as she walks up, slurping on a raspberry smoothie. * Chie also has a raspberry smoothie. She's grinning. "Nice of you to pay for us, Laz." ( Hmm.... I could set a record for worst character deaths ever here... "Rei has an allergic reaction and dies!" But I won't. ) * Lazar is 'dressed' as he normally is. T-shirt and jeans. He shrugs. "What I need money for? No like I need buy food for self." * Asanjya has a raspberry smoothie as well. "Mmm. Smoothie." * Chomei snerks and is drinking his smoothie like a MAN! That is, without a straw. (HA.) (Chomei totally gets smoothie moustache.) (... You're drinking a SMOOTHIE, you big wimp. c.c;) * Chie takes another sip. "Good stuff. Chomei, your face is totally pink, you know that?" He human. Of course he face pink. Raspberry pink, Laz. It's cute. Maybe we should dye your hair that color. * Chie winks at Chomei. * Rei slurps obnoxiously. Somehow. [The black guy salutes. "Captain Philip S. C. Rudriber at your services, sirs. I will be your pilot tonight. TEN HUTT!" He sounds like an annoying military sergeant.] ( Ten Jabba The Hutts? WHERE?! ) That's great! You can fly a plane! I can't. So, you get to fly, like you said. I'm Rei! * Chomei eyes Chie. * Chie just smiles. * Asanjya boards the plane silently. Except for quiet slushie noises. ["FALL IN! MARCH!" He marches onto the plane. "LEFT! RIGHT! LEFT! RIGHT! LEFT! RIGHT! ..." all the way to the cockpit.] * Chomei walks aboard the plane. * Chie snickers and boards the plane. * Rei gives him a thumbs up. Then flies into the plane. While slurping. Obnoxiously. * Lazar lumbers onto the plane. Hopefully, it doesn't protest too much. "The flight will be six hours! I suggest you use the time to train your bodies. Do five hundred push-ups! And don't make trouble or you'll be put on KP duty." * Lazar tilts his head at the guy, shrugs, and starts doing pushups. [He closes the cockpit door and goes about starting up the plane.] * Chie says nothing and sips smoothie. * Asanjya mutters "Fool," and settles into her book. [Shortly thereafter, the plane takes off!] ... Right. * Lazar keeps doing pushups. * Rei curls up in her chair. She got a window seat! And she buckles, 'cause it's the law in some places. That's five hundred group push ups, right? So, Lazar can do them for all of us. He didn't say it wasn't. * Chie sits and continues drinking. He also said don't make trouble, and as hard as that is for me, I'm not making any trouble right now. Nor do I intend to for the rest of the flight. * Chomei chugs the rest of his smoothie. * Lazar looks over at Rei. "That guy flying big chunk of metal very very high over ocean. When he say jump, I ask how high." [The plane looks like it was a bomber at one time, but has since been converted into a passenger plane capable of carrying damn heavy stuff.] ( Like me! ) [Like Lazar!] (Just don't jump up and down) [Some time passes.] [Some time passes. There's a loud explosion! Gimme body rolls - acrobatics (balance), whoever's not sitting down buckled.] 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6) and gets 3. * Rei starts, grabbing BOX to make sure it doesn't fall. "I didn't DO IT!" [Lazar grabs onto a chair or something and doesn't tumble over as the plane jerks suddenly. Phil's voice comes over the intercom. "Atten-SHUN! There appears to be a problem with the third engine."] Anything we can do? * Rei looks out the window. [He doesn't respond. Because he can't hear you!] * Lazar stops doing pushups and gets into his damn seat, strapping himself in. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6) and gets 2, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "A WINNER IS YOU!" (Yay!) (REI WINS! She must be sneaking drugs in Box. ) ( Rei gets arrested at customs for drug smuggling! ) ["I think I've got it under control... Which is good, since going down in the middle of the Sea of China is a bad thing."] * Chie shudders. [There's another loud explosion on the other side, and the plane jars again. "... Perhaps not." It starts losing altitude.] Don't think I walk through there... maps never my strong point. ... may get chance now. * Rei starts. "There's someone out there!" Oh no. No no no no no no no! * Rei unbuckles and jumps into the air, hovering there as she puts BOX away. * Chie clutches Chomei's arm. (Rei is: William Shatner) Where? On wing? Or flying around? I'm gonna check it out. I should check it out, right? Uh, if I check it out, that'd kinda suck for you guys. Air pressure. I saw it on the wing, then it vanished. Was kinda dark. Looked humanish. Unless you phase through the fuselage. * Chomei shrugs. "You have to do what you've got to do." In spirit form. And, yeah. Please don't let us crash! We're not going to crash. * Chomei is REALLY bad at lying. Are there life jackets or something? Please tell me there are! Find it. If need, I can go out on wing. * Rei slams into the seat and lands on it. "Uh, you can use Lazar as a flotation- actually, don't do that. Cushions! Seat cushions. Flotation devices. Yes." * Rei buckles herself up and closes her eyes and tries to relax. Oh, geez. * Lazar peers out the windows at the wings, trying to spot the thing. Is there a door-type thing that lets you onto the wing? ( There's an emergency exit. ) * SpiritRei emerges from the Rei. She clings to the seat, then sticks her hand into the wall and clings to that, then sticks half of herself out, looking out and around. * Chie shakes and holds onto Chomei for dear life. Sadly, she's not gonna do much good right now. 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for SpiritRei (2d6+2) and gets 10. ( Gimme hearing checks, +3 ) ( 'Cept Rei ) 2d6+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6+1) and gets 10. 2d6+3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6+3) and gets 10. 2d6+3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6+3) and gets 7. 2d6+3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Asanjya (2d6+3) and gets 11. * Chie is whispering something in a pleading tone. Possibly a prayer. [The pilot calls again. "Okay, I think I've got everything under contr-" There's a very loud shattering noise from the cockpit's direction, and the line goes dead.] * Lazar is eyeing the emergency exit door, trying to figure out how he could work that. ... Well fuck. * Lazar runs up to the cockpit and rips the door open. Excellent. 2d6-8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-8) and gets 0. [Lazar rips the door open! ... Which has rather adverse effects, as the glass of the cockpit has been shattered. Stuff starts getting sucked out of the plane.] * Chie bites her lip and grips Chomei *hard*. "Chomei, we're going to die." I know I've thought this many, many times, but this time it's true! * SpiritRei keeps looking around on the outside! Clinging to the plane and looking. * Lazar ignores that, and checks on the pilot. * Lazar shakes the pilot, trying to wake him up. Any obvious injury? [Lazar finds it difficult to ignore a vaccuum. He needs a body roll - 2!] 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-2) and gets 1. * Asanjya looks around. "Time to prepare for a water landing, I suppose." (Lazar is like rock) [Lazar avoids getting sucked out of the plane!] ... oh, that not going help. *calls back* Pilot dead! Anyone have good idea? NO! * Chomei grips onto Chie hard. "Do you know how to fly a plane?!" 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for SpiritRei (2d6+2) and gets 9. Dear gods, I wish I did! * Lazar tries to use the door to cover up the area of broken glass and seal off the vaccum. How hard can it be? ( Mmm, body roll Laz! ) ( Normal, or SS? ) Very! There's a reason why people need lessons! And licenses! ( Mmm... Normal. SS could apply, but I'll say it cancels out the penalties he'd have for trying that ) Wait... Emergency radio. There has to be an emergency radio! Laz, is it safe to go up there? * Asanjya works her way towards the front. "Nobody can keep their head in a crisis...." * SpiritRei growls and she plants her feet in the wall, rising from the top of the plane. A white light appears in her invisible hands. ~Disco Nova!~ she yells at no one in particular as she fires it off. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for SpiritRei (2d6-3) and gets 4. 2d6+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for SpiritRei (2d6+1) and gets 7. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6) and gets 2, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "I hate these guys. Give 'em one for me." [Lazar so totally plugs that hole. No vacuum problems now.] [But the plane's still going down! Everyone, body roll!] 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6) and gets 7. * Asanjya enters the cockpit. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6) and gets 5. * Lazar grins. "Okay, nothing being sucked out anymore!" 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Asanjya (2d6) and gets 7. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6) and gets 6. ( Body or soul, whichever you prefer ) (Oh, well, if it's soul, I made it. ;p So I prefer that!) (Soul, then, and made.) (Soul made too!) ( Rei too, seeing as how her body is on the plane. ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for SpiritRei (2d6) and gets 5. (Make that, either way!) (Though she is sorta unconscious like... yeah.) [The plane crashes into the ocean! Fortunately, you all got lucky and avoided serious damage like banging your head on the seat in front of you or something. Unfortunately... Plane in water. It's afloat for now, but who knows how long that'll last?] * Asanjya scowls, and works backwards, looking for life vests or seat cushions, collecting as she goes. * Rei opens her eyes. "Something's coming! It's responsible for this. But we gotta get out of here. Gotta get out." * Chomei unbuckles. "We need to get out of here now!" Oh gods, oh gods, oh gods... * Rei unbuckles and starts removing seat cushions. "Okay, exit in an orderly fashion. Remember that jeans weigh you down. If you gotta strip, uh, do it." * Lazar scowls. "Everyone, grab something what can float." He then starts looking around for something big enough to float him. * Chie stays seated. She's shaking visibly. [Short of the plane itself... there doesn't seem to be much, Laz.] Chomei, grab Chie! * Rei walks over to Chie and hands her a cushion. "Hold this." ( Gimme hearing checks, +3! ) * Chomei has a hold of Chie! * Asanjya yanks open the emergency door and starts tossing cushions out. 2d6+3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6+3) and gets 11. 2d6+3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6+3) and gets 8. 2d6+3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Asanjya (2d6+3) and gets 10. 2d6+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6+1) and gets 6. 2d6+3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6+3) and gets 13. Come on Chie, we have to go! * Chie takes the cushion, then is held by Chomei. "O-okay..." * Lazar mutters. "This going to suck..." Come on, come on! S-something's coming! * Rei runs for the exit and... exits. Onto the water. She's insane. That or she has water walking. [She does have water walking.] * Chomei walks to the door and sprouts his wings, taking to the air above the water. * Asanjya grabs cushions and dives out the door, cursing in demonic. (Um, holding Chie. :P) * Lazar steps out onto the wing and pulls out a few stakes, looking for something to throw them at. * Chie clings to Chomei for dear life! Somehow she's managed to squish the cushion in between them. Go her. ;p (Chomei can fly?) (Chomei can fly.) (You remember how Chie was freaking at the end of last session? Well, now she realizes that maybe this isn't such a bad thing after all. ;p) (Half demon! Okay, we can work on this.) Come on... give me something to throw at... [A humanoid shape swoops down from above. As it gets closer, you see it more clearly: It's a man. He's got big heavy boots, a long trenchcoat... and twin tonfa. There's a faint putple glow coming from his chest, and he's grinning. "So you all surfifed?" It's Nikolai.] ( By the way, he's theme is now on stickmetal ) * Rei peers at him. "Hey." She looks wary, amazingly enough. "What do you care?" What... the... * Asanjya sputters, floating on a raft made of cushions tucked under her cloak. "I knew I should have held out for flying." * Lazar throws a stake at the guy. * Chomei just kind of... hovers there. "Chie, I'm going to need to put you down to fight..." "Vhat do I care? Vell... I compliment you on your fictory ov Asahara. Our plan vas a complete success. You kill Lau, ve get the technology. But I just can't live knoink you are still alife. So I've come to settle this."] P-put me down on the plane... ( Ok, roll attack Lazar, and everyone roll init ) * Rei blinks. "... What?" 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-3) and gets 5. d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (d6+6) and gets 12. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (d6+7) and gets 11. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (d6+7) and gets 11. d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Asanjya (d6+6) and gets 10. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (d6+7) and gets 12. [Order: Rei, Chomei, Chie, Lazar, Asanjya, Nikolai] [Nikolai blocks the stake with his tonfa. "Ah, I see you feel the same."] [Rei's turn!] * Rei raises her fingers, the blackness forming at the ends. "What do you even *want* to settle? This doesn't fit at all!" She pulls the 'trigger', firing the dot off towards Nikolai and waiting for it to explode into inky blackness. "And now you don't!" 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6-3) and gets 5. [He shakes his head and blinks a few times, but looks like he can still see, as he directs his gaze toward Rei. "I never had ze chance to finish you ovv."] [Chomei's turn!] * Chomei flies down to the plane, setting Chie down, and draws Rownal. "I feel so lucky knowing that. You know?" He, um, doesn't sound happy. (End Turn) [Chie's turn!] * Chie draws her sword and seems to get a grip on herself. "We had no idea you wanted one, and you're certainly not getting one now! Spirit Stream!" 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-2) and gets 7. [He slides out of the way. "I vonder about zat."] [Lazar's turn!] * Lazar chucks another stake at the guy. "This getting very old, you know." 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-3) and gets -1, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "I love you. Do you love me too? Y_ N_" ( w00t ) (Woo!) (Go LAZ!) (Heelz yeah!) (YYYYYYYY) [The stake imbeds itself in his torso. He grimaces. "All along, de plan vas to acquire Asahara's technologies for de motherland. Even if you beat me now, you can do nothink about it." [Asanjya's turn!] For Russia? * Asanjya works to a standing position on her "raft". "Death will come to you soon, foul one. BURNING FEAR!" She thrusts out her flaming hand to make fireball etc. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Asanjya (2d6-2) and gets 7. [The Burning Fear flies past Nikolai as he charges. "I vas like you vonce. In Interpol. But I vas captured in a mission in Siberia. Dey did things to me." He heads right at Chie, who needs an unarmed (grabs) def] 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-2) and gets 4. [Chie ducks just in time as Nikolai flies past. He turns around, firing his machine gun tonfa at Chomei. "At virst I vas horrified at vhat I became. But zen I grew happy, realizing I vas serving de mother country."] You mean you're on CRACK. * Rei spins to keep him in her sight. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-2) and gets 5. [Chomei moves to avoid most of the bullets, but catches one in his leg. "I vas gifen de important task of acquiring Asahara's technologies. Hafink completed zat, I outlived my use to de motherland. But I do not mind. Before I die, I vill rid her of her future enemies."] [Rei's turn!] Yeah, 'cause you're doing such a great job. Catch! * Rei tosses nothing underhanded. (Mind Twister.) 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6-1) and gets 7. * Asanjya mutters. "We're fighting Russia. How 1980's is this?" [Chomei's turn!] (Actually more like 1900s for Japan. :P) ( I work for the KGB! We're not dead, you just think we are! ) (Heh, true.) * Chomei turns Rownal into a scythe and flies after Nikolai, taking a swipe at him with the weapon. "Very." 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-2) and gets 4. [Chomei carves a wound into his chest.] [Chie's turn!] * Chie fires off another Spirit Stream! 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-2) and gets 6. [Chie's attack connects. Nikolai tumbles head over heals in midair, but rights himself. He laughs aloud. "Best of all, if I die, so do the two I vorked vith." [Lazar's turn] What? What! Were they aware of what you were doing? "Ov course not. Zey were tools." So are you. * Lazar scowls, then waits for Nikolai to dive, so he can try and grab him. [Hold Action] [Asanjya's turn!] * Rei grits her teeth. "Don't kill him." Even she seems just a little annoyed with the idea. * Asanjya ignores Rei! "BURNING FEAR!" 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Asanjya (2d6-2) and gets 2. (Made by 4.) (Oh, screw YOU. :P) (It probably won't kill him.) (Probably.) [Nikolai gets burned pretty fiercely, but laughs. "Vhy do you really think I haf come hear? To throw my life avay?" He does charge again. Go ahead Laz.] * Lazar tries to grab Nikolai as he dives! 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-3) and gets 3. ( Made by 5. ) [Lazar grabs hold of Nikolai as he dives, but Nik is quick to try to get out of it.] ( Body - unarmed def (grabs) ) ( SS doesn't factor in? ) ( It does ) 2d6-13 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-13) and gets -3. (That is, sadly, still not the largest bonus I've ever seen. ;p) (I've had larger!) (Yeah, it was yours.) (Taluun. -16 on a body roll.) (I thought it was -17. ;p) (Was it -17? I forget. Oh, right!) [Lazar keeps a hold of him!] (I remember that. ^_^) [Rei's turn!] * Rei fires up another Disco Nova, holding the light between her hands, but she doesn't fire yet. "So, since you're feeling so talkative, how'd you get out of where they were holding you?" (Hold my action.) [Chomei's turn.] [He smiles. "I asked the guard to take me to the rest room. Then I bashed his skull open on the wall." * Chomei changes Rownal into a bow and fires a to disarm Nikolai's Tonfa. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-2) and gets 5. [Chomei hits the tonfa, but Nikolai manages to keep hold of it.] [Chie's turn!] * Chie doesn't say anything, but channels more energy into her sword. (Holding action.) [Lazar's turn!] * Lazar squeezes hard, trying to get Nikolai unconscious without, y'know, crushing him like a wad of paper. [Funnily enough, that works. @_@] * Lazar keeps a grip on him. "Take away stupid stick things. I keep hold on him... well, until I sink. Then I should probably let go." [Yes, you've still got the problem of the sinking plane in the middle of nowhere.] * Rei winks out the light and flies over to one of the tonfa, yanking it from Nikolai's hand and dropping it in the water. * Chie lets out a deep breath and her sword stops glowing, then she realizes that, yes, they're still on a sinking plane. * Chie grabs for her cell phone and frantically dials Naomi. [It's picked up by a merman who uses it to liberate his peoples from... uh... a seaweed race? Or something, I dunno.] * Rei yanks out the other tonfa, too! Sploosh. Now the merman has a set! (Power to the proletariat!) (Overthrow the despotic regime of Aquaman!) ... I really getting to hate Russians. Me too. I just hate their accents. What's up with that? You'd think an accent like that would be cool, but they keep using it to taunt you. [The merman uses that one for global domination.] * Asanjya wobbles on her raft and looks around. * Chomei flies and sets down next to Chie. [But he gets eaten by a shark before he gets anywhere.] (Is the plane still mostly above water?) * Chie hangs up. "I can't reach Naomi! Who else can I try?" (Aquaman's ability to speak to fish did prove useful afterall) (Oh, that thing has to be so sinking now.) ( Yes, but sinking fast. ) ( The wings are under by now ) * Rei pulls out her phone and starts dialing Interpol: Hong Kong. She puts the phone to her ear. * Lazar climbs up on top of the fuselage, keeping his hold on Nikolai. "Anyone know how far we are from Hong Kong?" No idea! Not a clue. Nope. ... this going be long walk for me. Oy. * Rei sits in the air and listens to elevator- er, phone waiting music. * Chie dials the Tokyo branch of Interpol. * Asanjya balances. [The plane stops sinking. In fact, it starts rising, on a water spout.] ... Right. ...huh? ... this bodes poorly. * Lazar looks down, blinks, then looks up. "Thanks!" [A mysterious robed figure rises from the water. "Oh, you're quite welcome." He appears to be standing on it.] * Chomei peers at the figure. [He's mysterious. And wearing a robe.] * Asanjya frowns. Are you here to ultimately betray and kill us? Because we've been getting a lot of that lately. [He shrugs mysteriously. "I don't think so."] Good. It gets real old real fast. Thank you. * Chie actually bows. * Lazar looks at the guy. "Thank you too." ["I'm just hear because I heard from my wife's brother's friend's roommate's cousin's godfather's associate .... Er... Wait, can I start that again?"] Sure. * Rei blinks at him. * Rei removes her phone. Are you... Seiryuu? The water dragon god? * Chomei hmmms. "Him?! "What? Mysterious robed figure isn't good enough for you?" * Asanjya quirks an eyebrow. You helped me out once before... [He scratches his he.... hood. "I did?"] * Rei squeals. "You're Victoria's dad, right? Right! That makes you my uncle!" I wasn't terribly grateful, though. I'm *really* sorry. *Really*, really sorry. (And everyone's related to Rei. EVERYONE. Stop fighting it.) You did! You left me a note about which door to take when I was wandering around in that freaky dream world! "Oh. Oh yeah! That silly dream thing. Right." You wouldn't happen to know anything more about that, would you? ...wait, Rei... did you say her *dad*? Are you related to *everybody*? Well, yeah! That'd make perfect sense! If you get married to Chomei, maybe I'm married to you, too! ... Er, related. Because eew. Yes. [He looks like he's going to go into some mysterious speech about it, but decides it's not worth the trouble and settles for, "... Yes." That is... frightening. * Rei giggles. I no related to any of you! (Really, the MCverse is practically Six Degrees of Ueda.) * Lazar shakes Nikolai to emphasize the point. Or maybe just for fun. "Anyhow, I heard you needed help. You want a ride? 'Cause I kinda gotta be smiting sacrilegious fools in a few, and..." Yes, please! Yeah, ride would be good. * Chie notes that the irony of her asking help of a water god is not lost upon her. ;p Just as long as we're not on the smiting list! Hey, got any idea on how to deal with Victoria and what's with Chie's dream 'cause I'd really like to hear more about that. ... how about we get out of the sea first. That is... interesting. We do both. At the same time! Multitask! [The ship starts moving. "That girl's a real delinquent. She gets it from her mother, no doubt. I think the best way to deal with her is to give her a good spanking and leave her in the corner until she's sorry, but... Oh well, what are you going to do?"] [Session End!]
