[Day: Friday, June 5th. Time: 6:30 p.m.] [Within the past fifteen minutes you defeated most of the hitmen (bikini ninja and sniper unaccounted for), arrested the President, and picked a fight with Raidou Kuzunoha. Let's see what happens!] [Also, Togo suddenly fainted from blood loss.] (Prez is still cuffed though right?) [Go! And roll init!] ( Yah ) 2d8+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8+7) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 19. ( Rose is escorting him somewhere. ) 2d8+12 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8+12) and gets a natural 3 for a result of 15. 2d8+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8+7) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 17. 2d8+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8+8) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 15. (...Dammit, Dicey! I could have used that somewhere else!) ( >.> ) ( Thems some low inits. ) * JesseLman has joined #mc4 (...gee, let's have you roll init! Oh wow, I don't like the results of init!) ( Sorry, sorry ) ( <.< ) ( Parents hotel somehow lost their car ) * JesseLman is now known as Togo ( orz ) (That's definitely an orz, yes.) (And roll init, Jesse.) 2d8+14 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8+14) and gets a natural 14 for a result of 28. ( What'd I miss? ) ( rozzzzzze ) (Can you just ignore that Togo fainted from blood loss? :P) ( He suddenly made a remarkable recovery! ) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 11. (We just started. But we're starting with a not happy Raidou.) ( Try again Rose >.> ) ( He's attacking us? ) (Nope, that's right. I presently have a +8 penalty to everything.) ( Op. ) ( Hokay ) (If I hit the drugs, you can add a +10 to my init.) (Actually, that's wrong. It should be... uh... hang on.) (And kill yourself.) [Order: Togo, Raidou, Jamie, Keiko, Luana, Heinrick, Rose] (My init is actually 3!) [Togo!] ( K, well, you're still last :P ) (Yes!) ( Actually I should roll for the Prez, too ) (But yeah, if she hits the drugs, it'll be 11+18, so 29.) ( Annnnnd... you're still last. XD ) (XD) * Togo scowls, pulls out his SMG with his free hand, and points it at Raidou as he speaks in English. <"We do not want to fight you. You can walk away for all I care. But if you attack my people, I will put you down.". [hold action] [In one hand, Raidou draws his katana. In the other, he draws three silvery tubes. The tops of the tubes pop open, emitting a bright green light. ""] [And suddenly you're also facing a giant spider with a man's face, a bullheaded man with a giant axe, and an Indian woman who appears to be slightly on fire.] (Oh great, he's the main char from a SMT game.) (Yep.) (Yeah? He's from Devil Summoner.) (I use Sati in all my MegaTen games. <3) (She is pretty awesome. :D) (Agreed!) [New order: Togo, Raidou, Jamie, Sati, Minotaur, Keiko, Tsuchigumo, Luana, Heinrick, Woltheim, Rose] [Jamie!] ( I tried to get some variety in there. XD ) ( So he doesn't respond to me? ) * Jamie wavers for a moment between protecting Rose from Luana or the new monsters, but quickly decideds to shoot the monster nearest to Rose. Twice. 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-2) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 10. 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-2) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 4. (And maybe hit once!) ( Which one you shooting? :P ) (I think he's responding by engaging in combat.) (Whichever one's closest to Rose!) (The one closest to Rose. :P) ( They're all pretty much the same distance away ) d3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (d3) and gets a natural 3 for a result of 3. (Sati takes a bullet!) ( How far away are they? ) ( They're right on top of Heinrick. Everyone else is maybe 30 feet away.] ) [Jamie shoots at Sati, but apparently she's passably quick, because she manages to avoid.] (Darn the luck!) ( I'm gonna take my held action now. ) ( Hokay ) * Togo curses, and fires a burst at Raidou from his SMG. "Luana, get your fucking gun off of Rose!" 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 4. ( made ) [Raidou's pretty quick too. He dives out of the way of Togo's attack.] (I'd like to point out that I never held a gun to Rose, I just stepped between them!) ( You pointed your gun at Rose, I thought. ) (Stepped between, stepped away when Togo ordered it, stepped back when he seemed threatened.) [And then a black, green-eyed cat comes around the corner. A talking black green-eyed cat. "Hey! HEY! Is this really necessary?" A talking black green-eyed cat that apparently speaks German.] [Keiko!] ( Okay, can we RETCON Togo's statement to "Luana, don't fucking worry about Rose!" ? ) * Keiko 's shield springs up as she attempts to grab Raidou again to crush him, saying to herself, "Not in mood for cats. You need to stop trying to kill us." * Roseli sees the talking cat, shakes her head, and mutters something in Portuguese. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-3) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 4. (Make by 3, as per your rules on grapple-crush (which were standard grapple.)) ( uhhh ) * Jamie is not surprised by the talking cat any more than the appearance of random deities and monsters. ( Time to get the book out! ) (Should be about 17 crush damage and grappled, as per your earlier rulings.) [As it is, Raidou's able to avoid that, too.] [Luana] (Maybe some day he'll run out of defenses and perfect attacks! Then we'll get him!) ( What perfect attacks? He hasn't attacked yet >.> ) (Summoning monsters isn't considered a hostile action where you come from? :P) ( They haven't attacked yet either :P ) * Luana calls out, "Right!" to Togo, moves around to Sati, and kicks up at her. 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-4) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 5. (Great. I'll set up three turrets and drive in 10 tanks to point their muzzles at him next time. If it doesn't shoot anyone, it's not considered hostile, right?) [Luana kicks Sati. Her head snaps back. And Luana's shoe catches fire.] [Heinrick!] (... I wonder if Lu can controll Sati's fire while it's still part of Sati.) (... Hahahaha.) * Heinrick lets out a slightly irritated sound and wavers unsteadily, looking sick, glancing between Togo and Raidou. "" (Directed at Raidou.) [He glaces at Heinrick. ""] (Yep. He dies.) * Heinrick glances back at Raidou, narrowing his eyes. <"Summoning those creatures I'd consider a hostile action."> He then turns to the others. "Hold for a moment." [The President screams and starts running off.] [Rose!] (... Isn't he still handcuffed to Togo?) (He's handcuffed to Togo.) (...uh..yeah.) ( I thought he was handcuffed by Togo. ) (No, handcuffed TO him.) ( Hoookay. Togo! Gimme a body roll! ) (Body roll to drag Togo along!) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 7. ( made by 2 ) * Roseli shakes her head, then looks to Raidou and says, in slurred English, "" [The President screams and tries to run off, but winds up falling flat on his but when Togo refuses to budge.] [Togo!] * Togo glances down at the President disdainfully, and lowers his gun. "Luana, hang back." *in English* <"Truce?"> [Raidou lowers his sword, but the demons do not disappear. ""] * Roseli yawns, then asks, "" * Jamie lowers her gun and starts to reload it since we seem to be out of combat. [The cat grins at Rose. ""] * Luana shakes the fire off her foot and moves back to Keiko. * Heinrick nods slightly. <"What you bring forward are serious charges though. What evidence do you have in support of these accusations?"> * Keiko snorts and says, annoyed, "We are on the field. Your action was hostile." * Heinrick puts his hand up to his mouth and half-convulses. ["" He glances at Emily, then back at Heinrick.] (Which one is saying that, Justification McRaidou, or the cat?) [The President grumbles. "This is ridiculous. You're negotiating with a criminal. Section 2 is in such serious trouble..."] ( Raidou is ) Mr. Pres'dent, 'less I'm mistaken, we got some reason ta think you might've been plottin' treason. So mebbe ya should be a little more quiet. [The cat raises a paw. "" Apparently he speaks English, too. ""] * Heinrick sighs slightly and tries to maintain his composure. <"You will have to forgive my ward for assisting in the capture then."> He then turns on the President. "Mister President. I did not wish to have to do this, but you are currently being accused of treason." He shrugs faintly. "So I would consider your position."> [The President snorts. "That's preposterous. I'm the President! I can't commit treason.] (No closed brackets on the end.) (The president is obviously unfamiliar with laws that have to do with treason. XD) ( Well, the German Pres. isn't much like the U.S. Pres. ) * Heinrick turns to the President and gets close to him. It's a half look, since he's seeming kind of woozy but... "Yes? And would the Chancellor say the same if we brought him here?" (Brett? Why don't I just roll Law to make certain? :P) (Or did you forget I had that?) ["Please. Bauer and I have never seen eye to eye."] (AFK for a sec) ( I mean the German Pres. doesn't have to know the laws that well because he doesn't have any say in them. ) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-2) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 8. (Well just for ref, making law by 3.) ( K ) ( It's pretty much treason, yeah. If the accusations are true. ) * Keiko 's shield is up, but she does telepathically talk at Luana with, ~Very much want to hurt him, Lu.~ * Heinrick then turns back to Raidou. <"Your sources. Please."> * Roseli says to the cat, "" * Luana thinks, kind of tired, ~Which one?~ * Keiko thinks back, ~Both of 'em, kinda. What'd the president do to you?~ [Raidou nods. ""] [Gotou nods. ""] ~He's being -stupid-. And he was being condescending.~ (And back) [The President pulls himself to his feet. He dusts himself off with his free hand, muttering, "Ridiculous."] * Roseli goes back to aiming at Togo, sleepily. * Luana yawns. ~I mean... I know people don't have to like or respect me, but is it so much to ask that you recognize that I can set things on fire if they annoy me? And I got a car dropped on me while I was trying to fight people! For him!~ * Heinrick nods very slightly and considers. <"I hope you would not mind if we attempt to verify this information..."> * Togo slowly swaps out his gun for his medpak, waves cheerily at Rose, then holds out the medpak to Luana. "Luana, use this on yourself and Jamie." * Keiko drops her shield to reach over to Luana and thinks back, ~I recognize you, Lu. Sorry I couldn't stop the car.~ * Roseli nods to Togo. Sort of. It's kind of a droopy head motion. * Luana takes it with a nod and uses it on Jamie first. [Gouto sniffs. ""] ~Not -your- fault.~ * Jamie is less crushed and healed in far less disturbing fasion. "Th-thanks." * Keiko lifts the Emily out of Jamie's arms, or tries to, as she replies, ~Maybe, Lu.~ [Neither Jamie not Luana is fully healed by the pack. Almost! But not quite.] * Heinrick smirks at Raidou. <"I was not talking to your pet, I'm afraid."> ( Actually... Did it heal 30 or 20 hp? ) ( 20 ) ~And now there's a talking -cat-. I want to go home.~ ( But if you wanna make it 30, go ahead ) ( Araaaa... Then not so not-quite ) [Gouto growls. ""] * Jamie lets go of Emily on the second tug and a glance at Keiko. [The minotour kicks the ground, apparently upset that there's no fighting going on.] * Roseli chuckles and comments to the cat, "" She glances at Keiko. [Raidou nods to Heinrick. ""] [The cat beams at Rose. ""] * Keiko thinks at Jamie, as Emile hovers over near Keiko to drape over her shoulder. ~I got her.~ * Heinrick sighs slightly. " * Keiko then thinks back at Luana, ~I... would like a home.~ [He shakes his head. ""] * Roseli nods and explains to the cat, "" * Luana holds onto Keiko's arm and tries to project warmth. ~You've got me, anyway.~ Luana? [The cat shrugs in a way that only a cat can. ""] * Jamie shifts uncomfortably, with no real idea of what she should be doing. * Keiko glances to Lu and says withj a weak smile, ~Heal yourself too, hon.~ [The President grumbles. ""] ( She already did. ) * Roseli yawns. "<'nfortunately.>" She slips from the wall and winces, barely catching herself. (In English?) ( Oops ) ( Nope ) (Oh, I didn't see her actually put it to herself.) (Strike that, then, I suppose!) Sir? * Jamie walks over to her guardian with a worried look. * Togo holds out his bloody arm, and grins a bit. "The medpak?" * Luana starts, then hands it back. "Right, thank you." No problem. *uses medpak on himself, then puts it away* * Roseli grabs onto Jamie's shoulder and leans on her. She nods to her in thanks. [Togo recovers somewhat, too! But not fully.] [Gouto watches Togo heal himself. ""] * Heinrick closes his eyes for a moment, and takes in a deep breath. " * Jamie stands as strongly as she can, glad to have a purpose. * Keiko thinks to her, ~The president isn't trustworthy. He's just like the rest of the people in this government, Lu.~ [Raidou shrugs. ""] ~I guess, I just... I know Togo is directly in charge of me, but I want him to be able to trust the people in charge of him too.~ * Togo nods down at the cat. <"Benefits of service to Uncle Sam."> "" * Keiko replies, with a half-smile, ~Could always get him to leave. He does this stuff all over.~ [""] * Keiko rubs her face with her free hand, eyes flicking to the confrontation. They're flicking to it a lot, actually. "" ( AFK for a sec ) [<"Well, that's what I came here to find out.>"] * Heinrick nods slightly. "Well. I suppose the best solution would be to inject them *both* with truth serum." [Gouto shakes his head. "Uh-uh. That's a no go, chief."] * Heinrick looks to Gouto and raises an eyebrow. "Then do you have a better solution perhaps? We are running short on time and neither side is being very cooperative." ( Back ) <"May I make a proposal?"> [Gouto sighs. "You're tellin' me." He looks at Togo.] * Togo points to the monsters. <"I walk over to your friends. You let our psychic scan you. If she tries anything funny, your monsters can eat me or something."> (If I were still a more sarcastic character, I might point out that you're still handcuffed to the presedent. As I am not, I will assume that is intentional.) ( Oh, it was. ) * Roseli is nodding off as she leans heavily on Jamie. Drugs are bad, kids. * Luana thinks back at Keiko after a few minutes of internal thinking, ~Blitzkrieg takes care of me. And if Togo wants to be there, and you're there, then that's where I want to be too.~ [Raidou frowns. ""] ( Hmm? Did Togo say something?) * Luana scowls and tells Togo, in German, "You're not letting anything eat you!" * Keiko sighs and says quietly, ~A hope, then.~ * Jamie is a pillar of her community. (s/says/thinks.) * Heinrick looks at Raidou. "" He glances at Keiko for a moment. " * Keiko growls and thinks at Luana, annoyed, ~Once you get torn limb from limb, you don't get to be very intact either, but sure he doesn't care about that.~ She wraps an arm around herself. ~Like only psychics can hurt people.~ [Raidou looks at Gouto and says in Japanese, ""] * Togo looks back at Luana. "Relax. I know Keiko's not gonna screw around, so there's nothing to worry about." (Psychics don't kill people. GUNS kill people!) (SO ANNOYING.) [Gouto shrugs. ""] * Heinrick looks at Gouto then at Togo. "Togo, would you be adverse if both of them have the ability to give that order?" Sure, fine. Cat seems like a reasonable fellow. * Luana visibly relaxes slightly, but doesn't look terribly happy about it. ~Keiko, if they start chewing on him, pull out of the guy's head so I can set him on fire.~ * Heinrick nods to Togo, then looks at Raidou expectantly. * Keiko thinks back, ~Set him on fire anyway. I'll heal.~ [Raidou sighs. <"Encouraging, as usual.>" He turns to Heinrick. ""]] Good. *walks over to the monsters, dragging the president along* ~Like I'd do that.~ * Keiko replies, closing her eyes, ~You would if you were ordered, Lu. Orders rule us all.~ [The man-faced spider looks at Togo and licks his lips. (His own lips, not Togo's. That'd just be creepy doujin)] [The President resists. Body roll, Togo!] * Heinrick nods and turns to Keiko. "Alright Keiko, I want you to look so that you can verify the information that he's provided. Do not go unnecessarily to extract more information than is needed. And this is viewing only. No alterations." 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 9. ( made ) ["What are you doing?! Have you gone mad?! Get me out of here!"] * Heinrick lets out a deep breath. "I apologize, but it is the only way to get him to trust us." [The Pres doesn't manage to pull Togo away, but he keeps flailing. "You don't need his trust! You need to listen to me! I'm the President!"] * Keiko manages to quirk a sardonic smile and ask quietly, "Is he going to fall asleep, then?" ~Well, Togo wouldn't order me to, he'd be busy shooting things that were trying to eat him. So I wouldn't.~ * Togo nods at the spider and the flamey woman, then looks up at the minotaur. "Are you by any chance related to Frank the Minotaur who lives on the south side of London?" * Heinrick looks at the president directly. "That would imply that we trust you as well." [The minotaur speaks with a thick accent. ""] ~Well... yes.~ (Point Lu) (Keiko knew that!) (She was making a more general point!) (*flail*) * Roseli keeps leaning on Jamie. Every once in a while, she jerks her head up to take in what's going on, and then it's back to semi-dozing. [The President flails again. ""] * Heinrick would be more composed doing it if he didn't look like he were about to throw up. (Is Heinrick answering Keiko's sleep question?) <"Oh, my apologies. No offense intended."> (He's a little busy trying not to vomit.) * Roseli jerks awake again, and she blinks. (Understandable, but still important. ._.) [""] * Roseli brings one hand up to rub at her eyes, and she stops leaning on Jamie. "Thanks," she says to her ward, before checking her gun over, now quite alert. * Jamie looks up at Rose and then carefully taking one step away. * Heinrick then regains his composure a little bit and shakes his head at Keiko. "Unconscious would probably trigger orders. Understandably." * Keiko replies, lowly, "Then it's not happening." * Togo hrms. <"Wait... about ten years back, I remember hearing about a Welsh minotaur who was involved in that thing with the guy and the hedge maze and the were-cabbage. Was that anyone you know?"> (Not without... 3 more CP!) * Roseli glances at Jamie, gun checked, and asks, "Hurt?" * Jamie looks down at herself, she's not as crushed as she used to be, but still... "Yes." * Keiko chuckles lowly. "Unless he wants me to control him, anyway..." * Heinrick looks at Keiko a moment. "Blocked?" [The minotaur grins. ""] [Gouto covers one eye with a paw. "Good grief."] * Roseli shifts her gun to her left hand and steps forward, punching Jamie in the face with her right. (Take eight damage! By which I mean, heal eight damage.) (Sweet!) ( Not enough! ) * Jamie staggers back a bit and then hurridly gets back into the position she was in before. (Thank you ma'am may I have another?) * Keiko shrugs. "That's how it works." She winces and glances at Rose, then murmurs, "Oh my god." ( You couldn't punch her in the shoulder? =P ) (Where's the love in that?) (That wouldn't hurt very much, would it?) (Same 8 damage!) (Rose doesn't know that.) * Jamie isn't brusing at all, and in fact, looks better than she did before Rose hit her. ( So if she were a guy, you'd be giving her healing groin kicks? ) * Roseli shakes her head at the irony of hurting her own ward, but she punches Jamie again - and hopefully, in this way, she'll be quite healed by the end of a beating session. * Luana buries her face in Keiko's shoulder. ( There you go. All healed. ) (Right on!) <"Yeah, I still get that online. Best damn sports pages in the world."> * Roseli punches Jamie one last time and steps back, looking her ward over. That done, she looks to Keiko and Luana and blinks at their reactions. "Sorry." * Heinrick looks at Raidou for a moment. * Keiko grits her teeth and then replies, lowly, "Hard to watch, Rosali." * Jamie looks much healthier than before the beating. * Luana says, muffled by talking into Keiko's shirt, "Is she done yet?" * Roseli nods. * Keiko replies quietly, "Yes." ( *pulls out his shotgun* I wonder if the same thing will work for you, Luana... ;_; ) * Luana looks back up and looks at healthier!Jamie with some relief. (Only if you spend 10 points on DA!) ( Now you know you can beat up on Jamie for fun! ) * Keiko shakes her head and squeezes Luana's hand before she lets go and walks over to Raidou, glaring up at him, Emily still on her shoulder. "You gonna let me do this?" Keiko. [He nods.] * Roseli gestures. "Give me the girl. Don't need you dropping her." * Keiko 's eyes widen, then she grits her teeth and replies, "I--I'm no--nnh--" her body shakes a moment before the girl starts to float over to her. She whispers, "Damn you." * Roseli takes the girl out of the air and puts her over her own shoulder. This time, she doesn't apologize. [The President grumbles. "Because we wouldn't want to hurt a little terrorist, would we?"] (We need witnesses!) We were ordered to take them alive if possible, Mr. President. * Jamie looks at the President wordlessly. * Keiko reaches out to grab Raidou by the coat and glares at him, eyes flaring as she says, lowly, and thinks at him, commanding, ~Let me in.~ * Keiko lets out a small sigh as her grip relaxes. ~Speak of your evidence. Think of it as you do.~ Rather, I believe the orders were "detain him and find out what he knows." Which we are currently doing. * Keiko tilts her head, then thinks, ~That has nothing to do with the president.~ * Keiko nods slightly, then thinks, ~Keep going.~ * Keiko frowns slightly. ~Continue.~ * Keiko nods slowly, then mutters, "How long is it gonna take to get to the point?" * Keiko is silent a moment, then smirks thinly and says, "Anything else?" * Keiko lets go of him and steps back, wrapping her hands around herself. She glances to Heinrick and rubs her nose. [Raidou coems out of a trance-like state. ""] * Keiko murmurs, "" * Roseli speaks up in English: "" * Heinrick looks at Keiko for a moment and then gives her a brief nod. But she's immediately flushed with a wave of nausea, unsteadiness, and blurriness as well. Fun stuff! * Keiko wobbles on her feet, hugs herself tighter, then thinks at Heinrick, ~He's telling the truth. Traced people from the mind control device to someone who believes Harcourt's death left open a spot on the Council's Council, and the president was going for it by killing us.~ ~Far as he knows, anyway.~ * Keiko adds, mentally, ~Your move, guardian.~ * Jamie waits for orders, or something that can be delt with by standing orders, or somethign. * Keiko then steps away, turning and nodding at Rose slightly as she walks away from things. * Roseli nods back to Keiko, then turns to Jamie and says, "If you haven't, move your choppers and tank here. Put choppers on surveillance." * Heinrick nods slightly. He's apparently fighting it better off than he appears, but his thoughts seem a little muddled. ~Understood. That would make some of the evidence difficult.~ He turns to the president and shakes his head slightly. "You are fortunate you'll at least probably get a trial for all this." He turns away from the President. "It's all very unjust. But such is the country we work in I suppose." * Jamie nods and calls in the remaining choppers. * Togo looks back from his conversation with the minotaur. "Are we good?" * Keiko 's shield comes back up, and she thinks at Luana and Jamie, ~Two assassins still out there, and they're theoretically gunning for us.~ [The President growls. "You'll be lucky if YOU get a trial for this insubordination!"] [The minotaur grins. ""] * Jamie nods. Togo. I believe there's more than enough suspicion for the president to be taken in on charges of treason and conspiring with the known terrorist group The Society. I'm sure you know your rights in these matters? You do know the law, correct? * Heinrick then turns to the President and smiles slightly. "Perhaps you do not know well enough the people that you hired. I was already a dead man from the start." [He glares. "I did nothing."] * Togo grins back at the minotaur, then nods to Heinrick. * Heinrick looks at their hostage for a moment. "Will he say the same?" * Roseli lets out a short, hard laugh at the president's assertion, and she flicks the safety off of her gun. ( Which hostage? ) (The Arabian guy we knocked out earlier.) (We have two terrorist hostages! Is awesome.) (Yup!) We ready to call clean up, or does Raidou have something to do? ["I've never met that man before in my life! How dare you accuse me of any wrong doing. Everyone knows I only want what's best for this country!"] [Raidou nods. ""] * Roseli nods. "" * Keiko laughs quietly to herself, and thinks to Luana, ~I explained pink elephant to you, yes, Lu?" * Heinrick woozes slightly. "There are still some assassins at large. Why they have not attacked at this point is anyone's guess. But I'm in no condition for a prolonged inquiry." He smiles slightly. "Although, I suppose not everyone would be too displeased." He glances at Keiko and then winces slightly and clutches his stomach. "I believe access to medical supplies and antidotes would be in order." [He nods. The spider climbs up the side of the building Emily was on, and the minotaur goes to scout in a different direction. Sati remains still.] ~Is that the one where you try not to think about something?~ ~Yeah. Poor president. Not very good at that game.~ * Luana giggles out loud. [Raidou steps up to the President. " He glances over his shoulder at Sati, who releases a gout of flame into the air from her palm.>"] ( ->" at the end there ) * Keiko then says, towards the president, "You should try not to think of your schemes so loudly, Mr. President." [The President glares at Keiko. "You have no right to be in my head! I'm going to have Section 2 disbanded and make them give your brain to Section 3 for their studies!">] * Jamie continues to look for the assasins but softly asks Rose. "Am I not supposed to protect the president anymore?" (... Crap, I fail at editing that for out loud voice) * Luana blinks. "Iris studies brains?" [He turns to Raidou. " He screams as Sati releases a jet of flames inches from his face.] * Keiko replies, flatly, "I'm not in your head. You're thinking too loud." If you still have the power to do so after all this is through, I would expect it. * Roseli murmurs (so the president can't hear), "If the president is physically hurt, act." * Jamie nods. * Togo tugs hard at the President's wrist via the handcuffs. "Be nice to the young lady." *pauses* "And the lady that breathes fire, too, actually." * Heinrick sighs slightly. "Your kind always do." [Raidou smiles. ""] [The President glares at Raidou. But when he doesn't answer, Raidou nods over his shoulder, and Sati raises a hand towards him.] [The President shrieks. ""] * Jamie raises her gun and aims at Raidou. * Jamie lowers it again. * Roseli smiles slightly. [Gouto pads forward. ""] * Heinrick smirks slightly and pushes up his glasses. "" * Roseli rolls her eyes. "Heinrick," she hisses. [The President sweats. ""] * Heinrick quiets himself, watching the situation. He looks like he's in more pain than he's letting on though. [Raidou nods. ""] * Togo pulls out an audio recorder and starts recording. * Togo does that discreetly. [The President nods, then shakes his head. ""] ( gimme a Sleight of Hand roll, Togo! ) ( -2 bonus ) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-2) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 10. * Heinrick finally gives up on holding it in and goes to a nearby alley way to lose his lunch. Fortunately for Keiko, he's since disconnected. ( HA ) [Togo manages to do it! Just barely, but he does. ( Wow, I suck less than he does. ) [<"So you transferred funds from Zukunft to the Society. In particular, the Head Scientist.>"] [""] [Gouto snorts. ""] * Keiko thinks at Luana, ~Sorry, Lu.~ ~For what?~ [The President rounds on him. ""] [""] ~For having the country you liked be lead by a jerk.~ ( Only ten easy payments of $99,999,999.95 ) (Jamie sees nothing wrong with this plan!) (Rose sees something wrong with this plan.
