[Day: Sunday, June 22nd. Time: 1:00 p.m.] [You've just had a confrontation with Cyra, who boasted about knowing all about you and demanded you kill Oscar Jung if you wanted to save the hostages. You ignored her and headed to the west dome while Oscar went north to meet up with Leo Mayer.] [You juuuuse entered the second dome. Immediately in front of you is a brightly lit, bare corridor that ends in a T-section.] [There's a few doors lining the walls on the way there, too.] * Roseli is holding her gun in both hands. "Jamie, can you track her from here?" [Also, MacGuyver is the coolest show ever.] [I should probably remind you that Togo is somewher injured, and Jamie and Roseli are very injured.] I... * Heinrick heads out quietly, Keiko bodily carrying. Unfortunately it leaves him a bit full if it comes to combat. [I should also probably say Session Start before you go on without me.] * Jamie closes her eyes and tries to find the evil hostige taking ladies. ( Screw that! We don't have time to exposit! ) 2d8-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-6) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 6. [You approach the T-section. Gimme hearring checks.] (Herring checks!) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d6) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 9. (Er.) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 6. * Jamie blinks a few times. "I found Keiko, but not what she's fighting." (Wow, I am with it. Made by three.) 2d8-10 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-10) and gets a natural 14 for a result of 4. (Made by ... 2.) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 13. 2d6-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d6-6) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 2. ( Made by 5 ) (Herring checks? Are they red?) [When you reach the T-section, you see that in both directions it branches off multiple ways. There are five paths you can take, not counting the one you came from: two to the south, three to the north The last one curves around the outside of the doom, with a full windo giving a view of the outside.] 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-4) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 3. (Also Togo might want to use the right die size) 2d8-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-5) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 1. * Roseli glances at the options. "Keiko's in combat?" she asks Jamie, incredulously. This is followed almost immediately by, "Lead us to her." [Most of you (except Luana) hear something to the north.] ( Whoops ) 2d8-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-6) and gets a natural 5 for a result of -1. ( Okay, made by 8 ) * Heinrick frowns just slightly. "It doesn't sound like it is going well. We should hurry." * Jamie goes farther North, twords the noise. [It's getting louder. Hard to say what it is. It sounds like a rattling or clattering.] What are those? Jamie? * Togo pivots to the north, leveling his machine gun. "Company." I... don't know. I'm sorry. * Luana aims her pistol to the north, following Togo's lead. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-3) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 6. Prepare to shut it down. * Jamie nods. * Roseli reaches into her jacket, readying explosives with her off hand, and faces north. [Around the farthest corner comes bots! A lot of them. Tiny ones no bigger than a few square inches. They look like little metallic bugs. And they're heading your way!] * Heinrick takes out a dagger with his free hand but it's going to be rather awkward. * Keiko suddenly bolts awake in Heinrick's arms, and Heinrick can feel the forcefield slam into existance, pushing him away. "Get away!" (Wonders if he should body roll due to surprise state) * Jamie tries to shut down the swarm, or at least ten of them as she was ordered to! 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 9. 10 2d8-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (10 2d8-6) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 8 8 -1 0 -1 3 3 0 6 -1. [10 of the bots stop working! Only several hundred more to go, and they're coming your way, fast.] * Heinrick appears totally unprepared for that and gets shoved back due to the forcefield, losing Keiko from his grip. "What the...? Keiko?" * Heinrick actually looks shocked for once. It's the last thing he was expecting. * Togo pulls out a grenade and moves back a bit. "Everyone back off! Gimme some room!" * Keiko floats upright, and there's tears already leaking from her eyes She yells and telepaths, "Come here, Eileen! See if you can kill me too!" And she sweeps her hand in front of her to try to smash as many of the robots into the wall as she can. * Luana raises a fireball, then extinguishes it in favor of moving back and letting Togo blow shit up. * Roseli pulls a bomb out of her coat and sets it on the floor. "Back off! GO!" she yells, running back and readying the remote detonator even as Togo preps a grenade. (Hehehe, C4. This will end badly.) (...we're blowing up an underwater tunnel?) (There's no way that can't end well!) (You can't be in a tunnel anymore.) (This can only end well!) (There's other doors.) (You've definitely made it to the other dome.) (We've made it into dome, yes.) (But just the implications is funny.) * Togo stows his machine gun, and holds out a bandolier of grenades. "Everyone grab some! Wait until they get away from whatever that plastic stuff they're crawling on is, then throw!" (Dude, Togo, I already backed off!) (And... readied C4.) ( Okay, retcon that ) (Should I roll for the TK before I move?) * Togo stows his machine gun, and holds out a bandolier of grenades as he throws the first one at the leading edge of the swarm. ( Sure. ) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 4. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-3) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 5. * Jamie follows orders and backs away from the swarm. (Make by 2.) * Heinrick heads quickly away from the point of the explosion. He's leaving the dagger that skittered out of his hands behind but what is a dagger when life is at stake? (Let me know when the swarm gets over the C4, 'cause I'ma kill some bots.) [Keiko sends several bots into the wall. Some of the bots apparently turn on each other. And some just blow up, thanks to Togo's grenades. But an endless supply seems to be pouring from the north corridor.] ( You can set it off whenever. I'm not going to do init for this. ) * Roseli waits for the majority of the swarm to get over her bomb, glances at the others to make sure they're out of range of the explosion (and it's a big range, so they'd better have MOVED THEIR ASSES), and then presses the button. * Keiko is dropping back, still yelling, "Come here, damn you, Eileen!" [And there's another explosion. Between all of this damage, parts of the corridor collapse! But the tiny bugbots are able to squeeze through the cracks between the rubble.] * Roseli readies her gun and starts firing at bots as they squeeze through. "Jamie! Is there a source? Find what's sending them and turn it off!" * Togo chucks grenades at the rubble as bots get through. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 10. * Heinrick hisses. "Meanwhile, is there another route we can go?" He looks for branching paths to take. * Luana curses and throws fireballs at the bugbots. * Jamie blinks, and then nods searching for it instead of slowly creating an army of canibal bugs. ( I missed the rubble? ) 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-4) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 6. 2d8-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-6) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 1. * Keiko hisses, after the explosion, then growls lowly, "Someone grab me again. I'm going to kill the dolls." * Luana leaps forward to grab Keiko before she falls. "Can't you just sit down first!?" [Togo's grenade falls short! And Luana's fire doesn't seem to do much to them.] * Keiko yells back, broken by a choked sob, "She--she doesn't get any more time to live!" And then she passes out again. * Togo tosses another grenade! 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 7. ( Made. ) [There are two paths you can take: The first goes south and along the outside of the dome, and the second heads inward.] (Any luck on the Jamie front?) * Luana lifts Keiko and continues backing up. [Togo causes more structural damage, blowing up more bots. But they keep coming like a silvery swarm.] * Heinrick curses. "That *likely* means Eileen's wrecking havok right now." He notes the split in paths and makes his way towards the inward path unless there's any objections. ... are any of the doors out of here watertight? ( Gimme architectural rolls. ) * Jamie shakes her head. "No source, no controller, I. I need an antena." Likely. But that risks being placed in lockdown. 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 5. (Made by five.) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 12. (I missed. ;_;) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 8. [Anyone who made it realizes that the doors are watertight. And also notices that the base is designed so that if any area is breached, shutters will automatically seal off the rest of the base.] (Make exactly, somehow) (Woot. Heinrick succeeds the architecture roll just by stating common sense.) So we can't blow this room and flood it? Not unless we want to deal with shutdown. * Roseli fires at more bots. "Need to move. Hope Keiko gets the dolls." [You head down the inward path. Laboratories line the corridor. Towards the end is a heavy looking door with an electronic lock.] * Roseli keeps her attention behind them, firing at any bot that gets too close. "Jamie!" she calls, indicating the lock. * Togo throws a grenade as the group retreats to slow the advance of the swarm. [The bots skitter quickly. They're faster than you, apparently.] 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 7. * Jamie stops looking for a repeater and gets on the lock. * Heinrick glances over the lock to see if there's a manual override just in case the Hotarus have it tied up. 2d8-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-6) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 6. [Togo blows up a bunch of bots and creates another pile of rubble, but they easily skitter over it.] * Togo keeps throwing grenades. Good thing he's got a bunch! 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 7. [The door opens. Beyond, you can see a large room with a number of monitors. You also see some crying Hotarus, crushed Tens lying by their feet. There's also a body in the center. And somewhere off to the side, out of sight, you hear screaming and crying.] ( Geez. Three sevens in a row. Odd, that. ) (... @_@) (What would that body be?) [Oh yeah, you see Keiko, too.] * Roseli waves everyone in. Once they are... "Shut the door, Jamie!" * Luana keeps looking around, trying make sure something else isn't going to pop out. * Keiko seems to be involved in this, ghostly and apparently violently angry as another Ten meets a grisly fate against a wall. In! Close it behind us! *heads in, shoving the grenades back into his coat and pulling his machine gun back out* * Jamie shuts and locks the door. (...We can see Keiko astral now?) (How many more Tens aren't destroyed?) [The door slams shut. You can't hear anything on the other side, though, because of the fire in one of the two cells within the room. A number of people are rolling around outside the cells, trying to put themselves out.] * Keiko , astral, turns to face towards the out of sight, of the group, and yells, "Bitch!" [They're all destroyed by now.] * Jamie blinks in confusion. [Then the sprinklers turn on.] * Roseli turns her attention to the scene. She moves forward carefully, gun ready and looking for whatever it is Keiko's fighting. * Heinrick looks at the scene as well and then readies himself for whatever's around the corner. * Keiko then disappears, her body starting violently again in Luana's arms this time. She chokes out a quick, "Eileen fled," before she shudders in a sob against Luana. * Luana holds Keiko tightly. "Where to?" * Jamie gets damp, this doesn't improve her confusion over what's happening in this room, her frustration at not being able to deal with Crya, the flood of bots behind her, and the vauge feeling she should hate Keiko for something. * Roseli gets soaked. She looks at the Hotarus, and then to the prisoners. And, possibly, the dead. ( Anyone remember how many hostages there were? ) (No? I don't think the majority of us ever found out.) ( K. There were 50 then. XD ) * Heinrick looks about, making certain all the threats in the room are neutralized before deciding what else to do. (30.) (Awesome! Dead bodies everywhere!) (Roughly.) * Keiko replies weakly, "Don't know. Dead woman walking." * Keiko doesn't care that she's getting soaked either. [The dead body in the middle of the room is a Japanese woman. One you might remember from Russia. It's been badly mutilated, with various body parts missing. No more detail than that.]] * Jamie turns back to the door to check on the progress of the bots trying to disassemble it, and presumably the walls of the base. (I'm very unclear as to the layout of this place, how many dead vs. how many live, how many Hotarus, and who exactly is dead. So yeah, more descrip. :D) * Luana strokes Keiko's hair as Keiko cries. [It's some kinda security room. There's a desk at one end with monitors in front. That's where you came from. Then there's two cells, one of which was on fire.] (Someone should be working on the people!) (The sprinklers turned on. They'll be fine!) [The cells are open. Looks like about 30 of the 50 hostages are alive.] d2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Brett (d2) and gets a natural 1 for a result of 1. * Keiko then suddenly pushes herself away from Luana, stumbling back, hissing, "Stop," conveniently just when the brackets describing her dead mother come up. [Including Robert Johnson.] d2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Brett (d2) and gets a natural 2 for a result of 2. [Though he's been badly burned.] d2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Brett (d2) and gets a natural 2 for a result of 2. * Keiko starts drifting towards the body. "I--don't--don't want... comfort..." * Luana looks up and suddenly realizes there are problems other than Keiko. She makes a hand motion and calls all the fire away from whatever it's burning, and lets it dissipate. * Roseli looks over the hostages, then points Jamie to the security system. Get to it, that point says. * Heinrick looks in the center of the room and curses. "It would figure that she would be the first victim." He looks over the other hostages to see if there's anyone else important among them. * Togo keeps an !eye on the room entrances while the others figure out what's going on. * Roseli , having done that, heads into the cells, stepping by Johnson without so much as a hello. Hopefully someone else will talk to him. * Jamie picks her way across the floor, trying not to step on anything body shaped or messy. [There is a second entrence, beyond the desk.] [Many of the hostages, though alive, are suffering from serious burns or stab wounds.] * Jamie checks security for a way to turn off the bugs, the sprinkers that are threatening to short it out, and the locations of the other living people in this dome. (And in that order!) [Rose goes to a particular body. One you might remember as the man Luana set on fire in Ulm.] * Luana stands up and walks across the room. She pauses to look uncertainly at Keiko, then continues on to Robert. "Mr. Johnson?" * Keiko looks down at the body, shuddering, and whispers at the body, [Robert is curled up on the ground, clutching at himself. The right side of his body, including his face, have been badly burned.] * Roseli sinks down to her knees, looking at the body she reached. "Osmar." One hand goes over his chest, covering the hole where his heart should be. * Heinrick continues to look through the prisoners while Jamie is working on tampering with security. Surveying the damage and looking for who else they might know among them. * Keiko pulls out a coffin, with effort, dragging it along the ground, as she continues, [Nobody else you know is there! 'Cause I couldn't think of anyone.] * Luana calls out to the others, "Is there anything we can do for these people?" [Oh! Kreutz! Kreutz is there!] ( Woo hoo! ._. ) (Who was that again?) ( The President's chief of security. ) (Ah yes.) We can end this and get help down here for them. [Robert pulls himself to his feet. "Yeah.... get me a gun."] * Roseli closes Osmar's eyes, then looks to Robert from her position. (Can I tell if he's in any condition to fight?) ( He's sooooo not. ) ( He's just suffered serious burns.] ) * Jamie steps away from the security console as the chewing noises and the rain die off. No. You need to rest. [Kreutz gets up. "Give me a gun, then. I can keep these people safe."] * Keiko pops open the coffin with her mind, leaning against it as she picks up her mother's body, also with her mind, putting it in the coffin. She reaches down to grasp her hand a moment, then whispers quietly, through quiet sobs, And then she closes the coffin and pushes it back into her coat. Please sit back down, Mr. Johnson. [Sprinklers go off.] [He grits his teeth, either in anger or in pain, hard to tell which. "Dammit! After what they did to us...!"] He's right. We can't protect all these prisoners. And we cannot tarry here much longer. This needs to end *now*. [None of the other people are people you recognize, oddly enough.] * Roseli stands, addressing Robert. "Not going to do Karin or your child any good if you get yourself killed. Live. That's revenge enough." * Jamie makes her way to Rose and tugs on her sleave. Togo, get Kreutz a gun. * Roseli looks to Jamie, questioning. There's a place hidden from me at the bottom of the dome. I think. I think they're there. Good work. [Robert blinks at Rose. "Child?.... Karin's PREGNANT?!"] * Roseli smiles slightly at Robert. "Congratulations." * Heinrick checks his supplies. "Are we prepared?" He then looks over at Robert, a bit irritated. Priorities, priorities. * Roseli moves out. "A gun, Togo!" * Keiko finishes pushing the coffin away, then just floats there, staring forward, hand covered in blood, crying as she floats. * Togo pulls his DEagle from his coat, and hands it to Kreutz with a few extra clips. [Robert sits back down. "Well holy crap." Then he looks at Heinrick. "Yeah... Dammit, I wish I could do something.] Can you shut off the rest of security from here, Jamie? [Kreutz accepts the gun. "Thanks. I promise you no one will hurt them while I'm alive."] Good. We're gonna go kill some people now. Be back soon. * Jamie nods and tries to do so. I believe Ms. Tavares told you exactly what you could do. Living, in this situation, takes more effort than throwing your life away. [Robert nods. "Kick their asses, man."] * Luana hesitates, then looks back to Robert. "Um, please stay seated. Karin will be very upset if you die from aggravating your injuries. Or, um, at all." * Luana hurries back to Keiko's side. * Togo heads for the far door. "Let's go." [Robert nods to Luana. "Alright."] * Keiko doesn't look to Luana as she floats there. Her shield's back up, too. * Heinrick nods and then looks at Keiko for a moment. "We finish this, Keiko. If you are ready." * Jamie unlocks all the doors she can between the room they're in and the hidden one, while she's at it. [The doors in the room click.] * Roseli closes her eyes. "Ready, Jamie?" * Jamie nods. * Roseli opens them. "Lead the way." * Jamie leads the way out the other door and down to the final confrontation, or possibly an empty submarine dock. Who knows. [You get to an empty submarine dock!] * Roseli glances at Kruetz before they leave. "Watch the Hotarus. If they cause no trouble, hopefully can be cared for later." And she goes, following Jamie. (Oh, that was fast!) [Just kidding. You follow the cooridor out and eventually reach an elevator.] * Keiko murmurs, weakly, "No. But since when have I had a choice." She looks over at Luana, and doesn't even manage a smile as she starts to drift after the group. * Jamie pushes the down button. * Roseli is on the elevator. Schway. * Luana follows along. I'm afraid none of us do in this case. It *needs* to end. * Keiko replies, quietly, but not flatly, "Nothing ends." * Heinrick follows after. [The elevator goes down a few floors, then opens into a balcony facing a large room. There's two stairways leading down to a large area, with several doors on the sides of that room. Above is some sort of control room; through the glass, you can see Doctor Doctor Schuhmacher. "I've been waiting for you, friends," he says over the PA system.] * Roseli rubs at her eyes, muttering something in Portuguese. * Keiko looks up at him, and says quietly, "Give up." * Jamie looks up at the controll room and at her former creator. ["You're too late to stop the satellite (in case you forgot what you came here for). It's already almost complete. Enough so that I've had time to move onto other interests."] * Luana lifts her gun and fires off several rounds at the glass, just in case they forgot to make it bullet-proof. * Roseli aims at the body behind the glass and fires off a shot of her own. * Togo raises up his machine gun and proceeds to hose down the control room, just in case some AP rounds work better than Luana's. (It would be so awesome if he just died.) ( And Roseli's! ) [They apparently didn't. Luana's bullets make cracks in the glass, but don't penetrate. Meanwhile, the doc flicks a switch, and the side doors open. Six Hotarus run out, each armed with a Naginata. "Behold, Hotaru 3.0!"] (A naginata? Seriously?) (He IS crazy.) ( Yep! Gimmie init rolls! ) (Without Tens?) 2d8+14 [Togo's AP rounds still don't seem to penetrate. The Doc chuckles.] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8+14) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 22. (They are powered by NAGINATA!) I believe this goes rather beyond an obsession of yours now, dear Doctor. Even *I* was never *this* bad. ( No Tens ) 2d8+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8+8) and gets a natural 14 for a result of 22. 2d8+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8+8) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 17. 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 10 for a result of 18. (Finaly, a use for all those 14s I've been rolling tonight!) 2d8+12 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8+12) and gets a natural 15 for a result of 27. ( Jeez. What am I doing? D: ) (I don't know.) (You decided this was a good idea!) (Starting combat!) (Stalling for time so you can get the satilite to launch!) [Luana, Togo, Jamie, Heinrick, Hotaru 1 - 3, Roseli, Keiko, Hotaru 4 - 6] [Luana!] (Kill them fast so we can get back to the important stuff. Stupid doctor. >_<) * Luana boggles at the Hotarus with giant sharp things. Luckily she is a multi-tasker and fires off a fireball at Hotaru 1 while she boggles. 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-4) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 6. [Luana sets fire to the Hotaru! She doesn't seem to be in pain, though, even though she's burning.] [Togo!] * Togo pulls out a grenade from his coat and lobs it down at the Hotarii. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 6. ( made ) [Togo sends a bunch flying! They all look seriously injured. Except the one Luana set on fire. She looks better.] [Heinrick!] (You mean Jamie? ) ( I mean the Hotaru Luana set on fire.] ) (No. I mean Jamie's before Heinrick in order. :P) (Jamie goes after Togo) ( Oh ) [Jamie!] * Jamie ignores the knockoffs and tries to find the missile and launch system they were sent here to stop, as her former high priest has so kindly reminded her that she has orders to do! (Man, they got Jamie's damage absorbtion? I didn't know Schumaucher was cribbing off of Rose's notes.) (Going to call my turn over there.) [Heinrick!] * Heinrick readies a vial of explosive agents and makes his way quickly forward, chucking it. It looks like it's aimed more to get Hotarus out of the way so there's a straight path to the door than to do maximum damage, but it's still intended to at least take a good number out that are in the way. 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-4) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 9. [Heinrick damages the two closest to the center.] [Then Hotaru 1 slices Hotaru 2 in the back. Hotaru 2 attacks Hotaru 4, and Hotaru 3 attacks Hotaru 1] [Doctor Schuhmacher screams. "God damn it! I thought I fixed that!"] (Okay, now I'm laughing.) [Rose!] (Is there a way out that isn't where the Hotarus came from?) ( A door on the opposite end of the room, that Heinrick's heading to.] ) ( AFK for a few. Gonna cut up an apple for myself. ) [Meh. At this point the Hotarus just hack at each other, not doing any real damage.] (This is what happens when you clone godless sociopaths! They need Ten to function!) (What?) (Why do they need Ten? Believe in the Naginata) (Their belief is just insufficient.) (The way of the Naginata is the way is chaos and ineffiency!) * Roseli runs down the stairs and for the door opposite. Time to ignore the Hotarus. Because honestly... yeah, ignore them. * Jamie follows Rose! * Heinrick keeps on the track that he was at because that's what he was doing anyway! [You head to the door, leaving the carnage behind. Pretty soon the room is splattered with blood, and still none of them are seriously hurt. The door opens into a very small corridor with another door immediately across from it, and a path that presumably leads up to the control room.] * Keiko floats forward, teeth gritted. She thinks at Schumacher, ~You are disgusting.~ And then when she gets close enough to him, she just tries to choke him to death through the glass. (Why go inside when I don't have to!) ( back ) [Keiko kills him off!] * Togo runs with the rest of the group. * Luana runs along with everyone else. * Jamie tries for the rocket again now that the Hotaru v3.0s are distracted and in serious need of revision to 3.1. (Does Keiko rejoin us?) (Keiko wins with a force choke.) * Keiko tosses his body aside, her own body trembling as she glances to the Hotarus, then flies after the group. She thinks at Luana, ~Schumacher's dead,~ as she tries to catch up. * Roseli looks to Keiko when she returns. "Dead?" (She just thought it to Luana, Rose) (No outloudy) (I know.) (That's WHY I'M ASKING. :P) * Keiko replies, "Dead." * Roseli places a hand on Jamie's shoulder. "About time. Thanks." She keeps moving. * Heinrick glances at Keiko. "Good work." He considers the next move then goes after Rose. * Keiko looks back at Heinrick oddly, then murmurs, "Just as empty as he was before," as she floats after. Her fists are balled besides her, and she still shakes. ( Annnnnd here's a decent place to end. ) [So end!]
