[Day: Sunday, June 22nd. Time: 3:00 p.m.] [You're in a battle! You've finally found the sattelite, protected by Tavin von Haupt. He's standing on a catwalk several feet above you, and he's got a sword and a rail gun. And it's his turn.] [Start] * Roseli has quit IRC (Ping timeout) (* Rose drops dead!) (* Jamie goes insane...er) * Brett has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer) (I KILLED THE GM WITH THE POWER OF KEIKO'S MIND!) * Brett has joined #MC4 * ChanServ sets mode: +o Brett (WE WIN!) (SWEET) ( There is not an ard ) (Ping got her, we're all going to die!) ( Where is ARD ) * Syzix has joined #mc4 * Syzix is now known as Roseli (She pinged out. Also I have food.) (So I'll just switch places with her.) (Welcome back from the land of ping) ( Where was I? ) [Oh yeah, fight and stuff.] * Dicesuke has joined #mc4 d7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Brett (d7) and gets a natural 4 for a result of 4. [Tavin apparently decides to take a shot at Luana next.] 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-4) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 5. (Yeah, I might be pinging out a bit... my laptop seems busted.) ( orzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ) ( Should we run or not? ) (Hi!) (Should be okay! I hope!) [Well, either way Luana avoids getting shot.] (I'm using someone else's laptop!) [And it's her turn.] * Luana returns the favor. (Fire Bullet) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-3) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 6. [Luana fires! But Tavin ducks, and a streak of fire flies over his head.] [Keiko!] * Keiko continues flying for the controls, her passenger's whining aside. She puts her shield down for a moment so it can recharge, too. [Rose!] * Roseli mashes a series of buttons on her bracelet - apparently fighting half-vampires calls for more drugs - and dashes for a closer pillar as she fires for Tavin's gun hand again. Once there, whether she hit him or not, she ducks behind it. (+10 on init, etc.) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-2) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 11. (Miss, awesome!) [Rose is teh miss.] [Heinrick] (Back!) * Heinrick does the same, heading for a different direction as Rose is going. But instead of shooting at his gun hand, goes for lobbing a vial of incidiary at Tavin's shoulder, hoping to catch him offguard with the resulting explosion. 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-4) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 4. [Heinrick hits! There is a small explosion, and Tavin's aim wavers, but he maintains his hold on the gun.] [Akira waves his arms. "Good God, you're going to get me killed!"] [Jamie] * Jamie gives up on her attempt to hack the satilite itself and looks for weaknesses in the launch system instead. * Keiko snaps, as she flies, "Like you matter!" She doesn't even look down at him, before muttering, "You know what you have to do." 2 2d8+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2 2d8+6) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 21 17. (That would be "At least I didn't accidentally launch it. Frigging 15) [Togo] * Togo swaps out for his machine gun and hoses down the area around the half-vamp with AP rounds. "Any time you want to surrender, we can discuss terms." 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 3. (Made. And +2 penalty to defense!) [Tavin attempts to dive out of the way, but Togo clips him in the shoulder. He grimaces. "I'll never surrendur. I fight for a brave new world. What do you fight for? Do you even have a reason?" Then he shoots at Togo.] 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 8. ( Tonight will probably be pretty short. I'm falling asleep in my chair here. ) (nope) (Oh no!) (Aiee!) [Ouch. Togo takes a nasty hit to his left arm. Even though the blast just grazes, it's enough that it takes a sizable chunk of flesh along with it. Togo's not looking too good here.] * Heinrick has quit IRC (Ping timeout) * Togo reels back, grabbing at his arm. "I'm an old man. I don't like change. And I want you off my fucking lawn." [Tavin quickly reloads his railgun. "I'm older than you."] [Rose!] Give me a minute, and I'll start closing the gap. * Roseli pops out from behind the pillar and takes a pot shot at Tavin's hand (AGAIN) before ducking back. Not one for banter today, for sure. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d6-2) and gets a natural 4 for a result of 2. (Er.) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-2) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 4. (Okay!) ( The railgun hand? ) (Yes!) [Rose hits Tavin's hand. He drops the gun, scowling.] * Heinrick has joined #mc4 [Luana.] (SOMEONE GET THE GUN OMG) * Luana switches guns smoothly and fires at Tavin again. (Homing Bullet) 2d8-7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-7) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 4. [The bullet doesn't need to home in to hit, apparently. Tavin's not looking so hot now. Yet he starts grinning.] [Keiko] * Heinrick hisses. "The gun! Keiko!" * Keiko turns her head to look back, saying loudly, "What?" THE FUCKING GUN! Keep his weapon away from him while we deal with this! * Keiko squints over to actually see where the hell the gun is, and then her shield comes up as both she and Akira whatshisface drop out of the sky as she grabs the gun and tries to wrench it away, spiraling in the air as she falls. (I have 775 KG of lift. Is that enough?) ( Uh... How many pounds is that? ) (1700 or so.) LOTS (Er,that was meant for the parens.) ( easily enough. ) (Hooray!) [Keiko moves the gun away as she and Akira fall. Meanwhile, Rose shouts "LOTS!" for no apparent reason.] [Heinrick.] (Funny. :P) * Keiko bounces off the ground as the gun spins towards her a moment, then she's got it gripped firmly as it comes her way. * Heinrick readies a vial of acid and sets his eyes on Tavin, ready to react if he either makes a move towards Keiko or Jamie. "This situation looks bad for you. Though I doubt you wish to reconsider your position." (Readied to react with a throw on either of those triggers.) (Actually, just making hostile motions in general) (But those are what he's checking for) [Akira screams as he plummets to the ground with Keiko (both of you gimme body rolls, by the way. - acro (tumbling)] ( Adn by both of you, I was referring to Akira too, yes. ) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8) and gets a natural 4 for a result of 4. (Make by 0.) [He lands with a crunch. "Aagh! My arm!"] [Keiko, remarkably, lands properly and does not suffer any serious injuries.] [Jamie] * Rose has joined #mc4 (Sigh.) * Roseli has quit IRC (Ping timeout) * Keiko doesn't bounce, then! Instead she lands normally and says, flatly, "So sorry. I'm sure it will get better." ( Rorzeli ) * Jamie takes aim, and shoots Tavin, because absolutly nothing else is working today. 2d8-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-5) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 4. (I don't know what's going on!) (Hey, that might hit!) * Rose is now known as Roseli (WOO) [In fact it does hit! Tavin is stuck in the shoulder.] [Togo!] (Did you skip Luana at some point?) ( Nope ) * Togo circles to move himself between Tavin and Keiko/the railgun, and keeps on spraying bullets in his general area with his machine gun. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 4 for a result of 1. [Togo clips Tavin again. He looks on the verge of toppling, but still he's grinning, his fangs visible. "I told you before: I read your files. I know all about you. When you got past everyone, of course I knew I'd never be able to stop you myself. That's why..." he raises the sword. "I brought some insurance."]] ( Gimme sight rolls ) (Oh hell.) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 12. 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8) and gets a natural 3 for a result of 3. 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-2) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 5. (Made! By 4!) (By 5.) 2s8-2 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8) and gets a natural 4 for a result of 4. 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-2) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 6. 2d8-8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-8) and gets a natural 14 for a result of 6. (Is he raising that sword with his bad hand? o_o) ( No :P ) (Ah, his offhand then.) ( I said from the start he was using the railgun with one hand. Which should be impossible for any normal person, given its size and weight. ) (Right, I was just asking which hand he was using.) (because I shot up the one holding the railgun.) [Those of you who made it recognize the sword! Which is a moot point, since he tells you anyhow. "It wasn't easy to get Tyrfing back from the Pols. Fortunately the HESO commander in charge of that operation turned out to be a greedy bastard. It cost Germany 2.4 million Euros, but I managed to recover both the railgun and the sword."] ["So, here we are, my final gambit. The sword is already drawn; at least one person is going to die. You leave now, and I'll use it to kill someone who deserves death. Or, you can kill me, knowing that one of you shall die as well."] ( We done with init, for now ) Are you taking suggestions> (-> +?) ["I'm giving you one last chance."] So what you're really saying is, we should knock you out, take the sword, and kill you with it? That's what I'm hearing. ["Heh. If only it worked like that. But I'm the one who drew it. I can't be killed by it. I can, however, control it. For a little while. If I'm alive, that is."] I'm willing to take the chance that you're lying about the part where it doesn't work on you. * Keiko gathers up the railgun and puts it into her coat. [It doesn't fit. :x] * Roseli switches clips, crouches behind the pillar, and aims for Tavin's head. So I'm rather uncertain what this last chance is, considering you've already drawn it. (Togo could fit the Ace of Winchseters in his, I think the railgun fits. :|) * Jamie bleeds, this is nothing new. (What's the penalty for kneecapping?) (That sucker was huge.) [He shrugs. "Go ahead. Take that chance. And then maybe it'll kill Keiko, or Mr. Goronov."] ( +4 ) ( Yeah, it's bigger than a bazooka. ) (+8 for shooting him right in the head?) (Sigh. Fine.) Or maybe you'll kill Shibamura and break my heart. ( Just +4 for the head. But head shots aren't instant kill, either. ) * Luana still has her gun raised, and fires toward his knees. (Homing Bullet) [Shibamura glares at Togo. "You gave me your word."] (Oh, I'm not out to kill him. Knock out bullets.) * Keiko does not put it in her coat. She does float it and Shibamura along as she walks towards the control panel. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-3) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 7. * Roseli fires at the same time, for his head. Knock out, go go go - plus, aiming bonus! 2d8-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-6) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 2. * Togo grins back at Akira. "A guy can dream, can't he?" [Luana shoots Tavin in the knee. At the same time, Rose shoots him in the head. Down he goes.] [Then his body shudders, and dives off the catwalk, sword first.] d7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Brett (d7) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 7. * Keiko looks over at it, and licks her lips before saying, a little more quietly than normal, "Now what?" (... oh man. Did it seriously just roll Akira?) [And strikes the helplessly floating Shibamura through the throat. He gurgles and spits out blood.] ( Yes. >.> ) (Aw fuck.) (...) (Aaaaahahahahahahahaha.) (XD) ( You guys should be glad. Talk about luck >.> ) (Oh man) ( 'Course, there's another problem now.... ) * Roseli rushes for Akira and grabs the sword, trying to yank it out. * Togo tilts his head, grins widely, and starts singing softly. "Luck be a lady tonight..." o/~ [Rose yanks it out without difficulty.] * Heinrick turns his head. "...apparently that's what." * Luana looks pleased with herself. * Keiko hisses as her head whiplashes slightly, then she drops the gun and uses her telekinesis to try to hold his throat together. "Why didn't you just tell me, you damned secretive scientist!" * Jamie blinks uncertainly. "What should we do next?" [Too late for that. He died in seconds.] (So how's his spirit empath to me?) See? When you live your life right, good things happen to you. Now I don't have to feel bad when I broke my word and shot him in the face repeatedly. * Roseli looks down at Akira and says in Portuguese, with a small amount of snarl in her voice, "" * Roseli walks over to Tavin's corpse and kicks it over so she can unfasten the scabbard - which she does, and sheathes the sword. * Keiko snorts and says, 'He's angry about dying. He should have told us. Then he wouldn't be here." ( Man.... I seriously can't believe how lucky you got there. ) Yes, but that probably used up a lot of our stored good karma. (We're awesome!) * Keiko points at him. "I told you, you moron. Suffer that as your soul sits here." (Also, he did read our files. He should know how suicidal we are.) (Most of the cast is young girls. Dicy has this thing about young girls...) * Keiko then stalks off, hand going to her stomach. (Off... towards the mind control device!) * Roseli buckles the scabbard and sword to her own bad self and checks Tavin over for anything remotely useful. He was in charge, after all. * Heinrick sighs and rubs his head. "Well now we're rather at a conundrum with any information he *held*..." [Upon further inspection, now that you're not fighting for your lives, there's a control room off to one side. It's basically a box with a window and... well, controls.] * Heinrick goes over to the controls to inspect them. Rose, do me a favor and cut off Tavin's head? Just to be safe. * Jamie lurks behind Rose. * Roseli nods, draws the sword, and cuts off Tavin's head. There, she drew it. No problem. ( Hopefully he wasn't dead, or now you've got to kill someone ELSE ) * Keiko looks at the controls, letting out a slight sigh as she murmurs, "They look awful pretty. It'd be nice if they were useful." * Roseli sheathes it immediately afterwards and... er, wobbles. A little. (I was trying to knock him out, so he probably wasn't!) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-3) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 3. (What kinda roll is to figure out how to use it?) * Togo walks over to Akira, pulls out his pistol, and empties a clip into him. "Rot, you evil fuck." * Luana heads over to the control room and looks around. [Togo wastes ammo shooting up a corpse.] * Heinrick frowns. "We still require a launch code." * Keiko smiles slightly at Luana, body starting to shake a little, and she says weakly, "Only Cyra and Eileen left. And maybe the people who took Cyra." Jamie... control room. And then Section 2. And Zunkuft. And... * Luana glances over at Keiko, then turns to her. "Hey, sit down before you fall down, okay?" * Jamie nods and limps off to the controll room to see if physicall access actually does mean root. (Are there chairs to sit on?) ( Yep ) Slightly less than 3 minutes. * Roseli stumbles to the control room and falls into a chair if there's one available. "Blow it up?" is her helpful suggestion. * Keiko starts to say, "I--I don't..." she looks back to the chair, then to Heinrick, floating over. "We have to stop it. Can we..." * Keiko smiles weakly and looks to Rose. "Broken things don't work." I've got a rocket launcher. 10 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (10 2d8) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 8 6 5 6 13 8 8 11 10 9. 10 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (10 2d8) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 12 6 9 16 7 6 6 9 14 7. 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-4) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 6. * Heinrick keeps perusing the controls and running simulations in his head. * Jamie tries to bruteforce her way in, but... NOTHING WORKS. * Roseli is just about falling asleep. Go figure. I may be able to adjust the trajectory...but the controls are, sadly, very temperamental. Rose, do you have any C4 left? One. In my... here... * Roseli reaches into her coat and pulls out another bomb of C4, along with a couple of things that might be used as detonators. * Keiko puts the railgun at her feet as she sits on a chair. "I feel like... I should be doing something. " ( I should remind you that the sattelite is in a submerged chamber on the other side of some thick glass. ) * Heinrick frowns a little. * Luana sits down and watches. "Rest." It...would appear I could adjust it. Someone be my eyes. If we blew the dome in here, would that stop the rocket? * Keiko looks over at Luana and says quietly, "I--I don't wanna sleep. I know what I'll see." But...it would be a risk. I cannot guarentee my success. [Less than 2 minutes left] (A submerged chamber seperate from the current one completely, so there's no way to get there?) * Roseli hits some buttons on her bracelet, becomes far more focused, and looks around. Is Togo's assessment about correct? * Jamie rubs her head. "This security doesn't make any sense." [It's VISTA 198] * Togo turns to Heinrick. "Is something like Greenland a big enough target? Antarctica? Slam it into the ground somewhere?" We could do it. Drown in the process, but we could probably do it. * Keiko looks over at Luana, then smiles at her and puts her hand on Lu's shoulder. "Heinrick, if I went over there in my spirit, what would I be looking for to destroy?" Whatever we do, do it *fast*. [1 minute left!] 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-3) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 2. * Heinrick nods slightly and gives Keiko the quick signal by adjusting his collar and immediately projecting the image of a foot long cylinder with 5 wires connected to it. "That should be the device. Hurry!" * Heinrick begins readjusting the controls. "Meanwhile, I'll adjust the launch as Plan "B"." * Keiko looks, nods, and then leans sideways against Luana as she passes out, coming out of her body as a glowing form of a blue-dressed girl, duck in hand, that dives straight towards the object. 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 6. * Luana puts an arm over Keiko's shoulder to make sure her body doesn't fall over. 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 8. I don't.. I can't... I can hear it, I even think I know what it's saying, but I can't make it listen! * Keiko telepaths at Luana, loudly, ~THERE ARE THREE OF THEM.~ * Togo lacks anything better to do, so he turns back to the door to cover their backs. 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-2) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 8. * Heinrick keeps tampering with the controls, his brow furrowing every once and a while with concentration. Stakes are high with both of them. Just help Heinrick, Jamie. However you can. There are three of them. Says Keiko. * Roseli draws her gun again and changes clips, her fingers shaking slightly. [30 seconds!] * Jamie shuffles over to the control panel, maybe she can do this manualy then. * Heinrick doesn't look up. "Then we should leave none of them intact. If possible." (And aim the other two at the sun too!) * Heinrick keeps working on his fiddling. ~Destroy them all if possible.~ (Wait, three satellites or 3 control boxes?) (Control boxes.) ~No--no. It's volatile.~ (That's what I thought.) * Luana looks calm as she holds Keiko. "It's volatile, she says." ~It might explode, I--I can't--not...~ (How long would it take us to get out of the room and down the hall, to the other dome over?) She's worried it'll explode. (If Heinrick's done?) * Heinrick sighs. "Well that seems an interesting failsafe if the charge is enough to destroy the device." He locks in the trajectory he set and lets out a breath. "That is all I can do." ( Longer than 30 seconds ) Good. Start running. * Luana quickly stands, scoops Keiko up, and bursts into a sprint. * Roseli picks up Keiko's body. "Tell Keiko to destroy them all in twenty seconds. We'll get as far as we can." And probably die, she doesn't add, before she dashes off. (Oh, Luana has it! Good, nix that first part of my pose.) ~Twenty seconds, we're running for it!~ * Jamie follows Rose's new orders as fast as she can. * Togo runs. * Heinrick nods and makes sure it's locked before checking. "Destination set." He makes his way out quickly with the group. ( Hoo boy. ) ( Gimme body rolls ) ( Everyone but Keiko ) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 6. (Made by 3) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 8. (Acro count?) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 8. ( Hmm. ) (I failed!) (Miss by 2.) ( Sure, Acro can count. No spec though. ) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-2) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 8. (Heh, fail by one. If I only had that spec!) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-3) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 6. (Make by 2) [You race down the hall! But Rose, Heinrick and Jamie lag behind. There's another problem, too: The bot room is just ahead, and those bots are still active.] Luana! More fire! * Luana yells, "Dammit!" and throws up another firewall. * Roseli just keeps running. Better bots than deadly death, right? She shoots at the big bot's sensor - again. 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-2) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 11. (Good lord, dice.) [Rose misses. And the military bot beeps. "Targets acquired."] 2 2d8-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2 2d8-5) and gets a natural 15 for a result of -3 10. * Heinrick keeps running as well, throwing acid at the sensors that Rose misses. No time to spare. (One critical!) [The bot fires rockets! At the other bots. They explode spectacularly.] (It's a child of extremes.) (FUCK YEAH JAMIE) 2d8+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8+2) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 14. Good work, Jamie! * Roseli keeps running. Oh god, the running. [And Heinrick misses. The elevator is just ahead!] * Jamie grins to herself, but has to keep running. Jamie, when this is over, I'm buying you a fucking cookie the size of your head! 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-3) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 8. We can celebrate once we get out of this in one piece. Alright! * Roseli mashes the button for the elevator to open NOW DAMMIT. [Just as you reach the elevator, BOOM! There's a huge explosion behind you. Maybe you're expecting to die in a firey death, but all it did was destroy the locks on the doors behind you. And the dome in the same room. Water comes rushing down the hall.] (Is the door opening? omg) ( Meanwhile, the GM can't open the MC4 website ) (Yep, main sandwich is down.) ( ORZ ) (IT SAYS THE ELEVATOR DOOR OPENS) (Did you need a log? I have all the logs.) ( I'll just wing it. ) (MAINBAY DOORS OPEN) (GET IN THE CHOPPA!) [The elevator doors do not open. Shortly, you're all underwater.] (... at the bottom of the ocean?) (Pressure kills us. gg guys.) (Also temp.) (Also Cthulhu) ( Glub!) [Or it would, if a giant whale didn't just burst through the hanger door in the bot room and eat you all.] (Yay!) [You're not actually eaten! Just.... soggy.] (That's not the chopper, but I'll take it!) * Keiko wakes up in Luana's arms just long enough to exclaim, "Luan--" and then the waves of water and whale interrupt her! (It's like the underwater chopper!) [Also, Rose has kelp in her hair.] * Jamie blinks, and then states rather matter of factly. "Not dead." * Roseli tumbles into the whale's mouth, kelp in her hair, and ends up spawled on her back. She blinks a few times, apparently in shock. * Heinrick looks, for the first time in a long while, surprised. "It would appear not." * Togo finds himself on the tongue of a whale. He looks around. He pauses for a moment, laying on his back. "... just like I planned it!" * Luana drops Keiko in the process of falling to her knees. "Holy... shit." * Roseli sits up and points her gun at Togo. "Dare you to say that again." [You're laying on your backs on a whale's tongue, you know.] * Luana hugs herself and starts taking deep, gasping breaths. * Keiko oofs slightly, saysing, "Ughn..." and floating herself off the ground. "I... waited as long as possible. It was taking off when I did it..." * Togo starts laughing. "Shibamura's dead, satellite's blown up, we're alive. Someone likes us." It's much appreciated, Keiko. * Heinrick doesn't move. It's not worth it. * Roseli shakes her head, flips her safety on her gun, and holsters it. She looks around in her last few seconds of lucidity before the drugs wear off. * Togo pulls a bottle of good vodka from his coat. "I dunno about the rest of you, but I think this calls for a fucking drink." * Luana 's breaths start sounding sharper, and she starts hyperventilating. Luana! * Keiko looks over at Heinrick and then to Luana, before falling down to her knees to join her and hugging her tightly. "He--hey, calm down... I didn't kill you on accident, see....?" * Jamie looks at Togo. "Cookie." ( And not one of those crappy peanut-butter things either!) * Luana clutches at Keiko, but it doesn't help. ( I want the good stuff.) * Roseli rushes to the two wards and starts looking for any reason Luana might be spazzing beyond stress. (Just stress.) * Togo looks over at Luana, sees Keiko has it, then turns back to Jamie. "Soon as we get out of the whale. Your choice. Big as you want." He then notices Luana's not calming down, and crawls over. [Some time later, the whale opens it's mouth on a beach front. And there to greet you are two Atlantean warriors flanking Roman, the Sub-Marinator. He stands with his arms folded, looking stern. Frankly, it's doubtful he's capable of any appearance but stern. Or angry.]] * Keiko looks at Luana with concern and puts her hand to Luana's stomach to help her recover. Also, she's crying with a weak smile on her face. * Jamie nods and goes back in time to before the GM post so she can wait for it. * Luana latches onto Togo next and her breathing finally starts returning to normal. * Roseli has since passed out completely, came to, and is now leaving a whale. She still has the sword on her and looks calm. Experience with Rose has taught that she is capable of other expressions, however. ["Well. I believe now King Arty's debt has been repaid to you twicefold."] (Yeah, we need to reorder all that.) * Heinrick is leaving as well. He also looks notably calmer, but somewhat pensive. * Togo ruffles Lu's wet hair, and whispers. "Weclome to the family business, kid. You did great." *to Roman* "Tell him I owe him one now." * Jamie follows Rose out out, and keeps looking back at Togo. * Keiko is hanging onto Luana, floating them both along as she wraps her arm around her somehow, probably from the side, and she ain't letting go. ["That, I shall."] * Luana wraps her arms around Keiko as they float and buries her head in Keiko's shoulder. * Togo salutes crisply as he wades out of the whale into the surf and onto the beach. "And thank you." * Heinrick nods slightly. * Keiko hasn't stopped crying either, but she does think at Luana, as an invisible hand brushes her hair back, ~I... didn't end up leaving after all, Lu. I didn't think I'd make it...~ * Heinrick then takes a breath. "I do wish we had time to relax though." [He nods. "It's a shame about Atlantis's policies. To be perfectly honest, I would have liked to come. It sounds like there was a glorious battle today."] ~I was so scared, so fucking scared...~ Was bloody, at least. * Togo pulls out his PDA once he's on the beach and tries to figure out where they are. And where the nearest bakery is. He looks back at Roman with a grin. "Top ten, definitely." * Roseli leans on Jamie, a bit.
