[Nazi Earth, Day 1] (We're in jail!) [You got yourselves arrested. Woot. And sent to New York Maximum Security Prison. Behind the giant wall surrounding Manhattan is an enormous facility. It's not a city, but it does look vaguely city-like with buildings stacked on top of other buildings. It's divided into roughly 30 blocks, each cleverly named "Block 1", "Block 2", etc.] (I thought we were going to the station? or are we just skipping that part?) ( You're skipping that part. :P ) [Unless you really want to roleplay the longass processing, um, process.] (stations are boring, kissing is awesome) (skipping it is) (er.. kissing. ?) (It's a ref, dear.) (I'm good with the skipping.) ( We'll skip the kissing process too. ) (Man, I really need to go read about what you guys did in the other channel...) [By the time you're fully processed and wearing brand new ugly orange jumpsuits with no belts, it's already 6:10 p.m. You're lead by guards to your new prison cells, all in the same block but in different locations.] ( Which makes me wonder if I should have people be in different channels. ) (Are the men and women separated?) ( Yah ) ( Actually I will. ) ( Let's have Yoshiko and Chess in #Prison2 , Billie in #Prison3 and Raxa in #Prison4 ) (And now Brett's head asplodes.) [Meanwhile I'll describe the guards, who really just look like the Imperial troopers in black from Star Wars.] [Except they have Nazi armbands and the swastika on their uniforms and helmets.] (Ha!) (So... They look like Darth Helmet from Space Balls?) (So Josh and I are in the same cell/area? Hey Josh, you hear that? We're default!) (So the storm troopers look like stormtroopers, go figure.) (ow) [You're lead through a courtyard, then split off in four directions. Josh and Logan are hearded westward, to an area where all the prisoners seem to be men.] [Start] ( Oh and mind rolls for you two. ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Josh (2d6) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 7. (Are we cuffed or bound in any way? Have they said anything about why we should try to escape, and what awful machines will shoot our spines out if we do?) 2d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Logan (2d6+7) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 13. (Add 4 to that as I remember what game I'm playing!) (some day Dicey will roll higher than a 6 for me. Someday.) [You both figure out the obvious, all the men are white.] (...ah) 2 d2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Brett (2 d2) and gets a natural 1 for a result of 2 1. [The lead guard unlocks a cell at the end of the hall and opens it, gesturing inside. "Get in and make yourselves comfortable."] Still putting on the drunk act. To Josh: "So, man, like, do you think they'll let us out early 'cuz we gave them some fireworks?" * Logan obediently gets in and makes himself comfortable. (Are we cuffed or bound in any way? Have they said anything about why we should try to escape, and what awful machines will shoot our spines out if we do? Also, do we have any cell mates?) * Josh ambles in. "I hope so, It'd be terrible to be stuck here because of a horrible mistake of some sort." [You were cuffed! But they take the cuffs off now.] ( And no, they haven't. And you're both cell mates. ) ( As in, in the same cell. ) (With each other. In the same place. At the same time. Which is now.) * Logan flops onto the bed. "So, when's dinner? Do we get recess? Can we meet the rest of the class now, or do we have to wait for a field-trip?" * Josh sits down and waits, and tries not to think about killing Nazis with the power of his mind, because he could, and that would technically be bad right now. [The guards slam the door shut. "Read the damn schedule." They walk off.] * Logan looks around for a schedule. [Logan finds he's sitting on a pamphlet! Josh's bunk also has one.] * Josh starts to leaf through it. [Incidentally, you're cell also has the same features as Yoshiko's and Chess's, which are C&P'd as follows!] [It seems decent enough, as cells go. Slabs of rock for beds, but at least there's mattresses and blankets. A sink, a mirror, a toilet, even a desk and a chair, though both are nailed down.] ( Oi, 4 channels is a bit much. D: ) (Yeah, yeah it is.) "Ooh, a pamphlet!" *reads* * Josh will wait a bit longer to check his matress for creepycrawlies. [Josh is fortunate to see there aren't any.] (As far as he can see~) * Logan experiments with how fast he can create and un-create objects, with an ace of spades that he "pulled" out of his sleeve. (Brett: that's a question to you, for the record) ( ? ) ( What question? ) (how fast can we create objects, and how fast can we un-create objects that we've created?) (like say, if we create a contraband cup of coffee and then we hear a guard coming down the hallway) squid Squid? (Sorry, my shoulder dragon absconded with my keyboard for a second) ( It takes a few seconds for both. ) [The phamphlet is bright and colorful! It says right on the first page, "WELCOME!!! To New York Maximum Security Prison! We hope you enjoy your stay! Here are some rules you need to follow:"] ( ... Somehow I can't see German Efficiency and multiple exclimation marks mixing.) * Logan reads it aloud in an awful british accent. ["#1: Always follow your assigned schedule! Failure to report on time for your assigned activities will result in a level 1 punishment.] ["#2: Always listen to the security guards! Failure to do so will result in a level 2 punishment."] ["3: Do not communicate, harm, or otherwise interact with the tourists! Failure to adhere will result in a level 4 punishment and/or possible death penalty."] * Logan interrupts himself while reading aloud: "Ooh, tourists. This aught to be good." ["#4: Participation in tourist attractions is mandatory. If you are scheduled to partake in an attraction, you must do so. Failure to comply will result in a level 4 punishment and/or possible death penalty."] Tourists. It's too bad we don't have any fireworks to give them. * Josh lies down on one of the bunks to make it easier to resist thumping his head into the wall. "Participation in... Oh, that doesn't sound good." * Logan sits down in the chair and leans back, putting his feet up on the desk. "Now if only I had my hat back, this would be just like back home. Oh, and the creaky ceiling fan, need that too." (The chair's nailed down remember.) (oh yeah.) [There's also a bit in there about Prison Credits. They're basically like money for the prison. You can buy priveleges. With no money you're entitled to basic accomidations, and for meals you get water and something called gloo, whatever that means.] * Logan tries to lean the chair back, fails, and sighs. "This is going to be a long... period of time." ( You can blame WD for that :P She gave me the idea ) (So it -is- Deadman Wonderland.) (Hah!) * Logan gets to the bit about "gloo" and squinches his nose. "Man, I'm glad we don't have to worry about that." [There's also a schedule in the back of the pamphlet. It reads "Block 4 schedule:" and goes on to list events. Dinner is at 6:30, and there's some night time tourist attraction at 8:30.] ( Phamphlet over :P ) (Do we all have the same schedule?) (Just with different block #s?) ( Yeah ) * Logan takes a careful look around the cell (and whatever is visible outside the cell) looking for cameras, microphones, or any other observational devices. ( Sight roll! ) 2d6+11 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Logan (2d6+11) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 16. [Logan discovers.....!] [Nothing. Inside the cell, anyhow.] * Logan shrugs. He pokes the bars experimentally, half expecting some sort of shock. [He gets one!] "Hah, right again." Shakes his hand. "Ok, maybe I shouldn't be so proud of myself for that one." [Suddenly there's a loud buzzing, then the cell door opens!] "Ooh hey, dinner time! And I didn't even have time to get spiffed up. I hope they have a casual dress-code down at Le Cafe." * Logan 's French accent is even worse than his British accent. * Josh stands up. "Oh I think everybody will be in uniform. It's in style this season, you see." [People pass your cell, heading down the hallway.] "Prison jumpers are the new black." He says as he heads out into the hallway with the others. * Josh goes out, and stops to look up find the number of his cell,... and the remembers that he's supposed to be acting absent minded and looks at a few of the other cells too before following the crowd. * Logan puts on a gruff sort of voice and starts walking with one of the friendlier looking inmates. "So, we're new here. Seems to me that letting us all get together like this without any guards is asking for trouble. What do they know that I don't?" 2d6+4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Raxa (2d6+4) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 14. [Before long you meet up with Yoshiko and Chess!] * Logan wolf-whistles. "Hey ladies!" (Raxa does not approve.) I think it's more like money buys you people looking the other way. * Chess looks uncertain. "Um... hi?" Really must you be so rude? "I didn't know they would let us mingle with you gals. No offense meant." He sticks out his hand. "Hi, I'm Logan, and this tall silent type here is Josh." * Yoshiko glares at Josh and Logan. * Logan is grinning cheekily the entire time. (What a cheeky monkey) (I can't help it, incarceration makes me snarky.) Yes, thank you for reminding me of my name, I'm sure I'd lose my own head if people didn't keep reminding me. (Did Logan just wolf-whistle at quite possible jailbait?) (Erm... no? Damn. I keep forgetting about that.) (Yes he did.) [Billie meets up with you, along with some teenager, just as you're herded into a large cafeteria. Prisoners of all races and genders are gathering here, grabbing trays and forming up a line at the counters.] * Chess stands between Yoshiko and the guys. "Chess. ...Peace and awesomeness." * Yoshiko stays behind Chess. It isn't hard at all, given she's amazingly short. "Marisa." * Billie nods to Chess as she approaches the area with the Asian teenager. "So, how does this work, exactly? We don't have any of those credits, so we just get that glue stuff?" I expect it's dreadful. * Chess waves to Billie, then grabs a tray. "I guess. Do you usually whistle at underage girls?" * Logan keeps an eye out for Raxa. * Billie looks over at the girl next to her. "So Sun, how does this whole... uh, food thing work? Do we just grab a tray and get whatever?" * Logan rolls his eyes at Chess. To Billie: "You're asking the wrong people. I figure we follow the lead of everyone else. I want to know what the rest of you have found out about this tourist attraction thing. Are we going to be gladiators?" * Chess tries to hide a smile. "Just saying." I hope not. I'm not a fighter. (SHE LIES.) I'm only in here because I believe in peace and awesomeness. And graffiti, I guess. [The teenager with Billie shakes her head. "You have to buy food. With points. If you don't have points they just give you the most basic things."] The basics it is then. Oh. ... How do we get points? 2d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Raxa (2d6+7) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 15. * Logan half-grins. "I meant it as a compliment?" He pauses, then sighs. "Don't worry, I just tend to get a little carried away when I'm playing a part." Awesomeness is good. I like awesomeness. Uhuh. Anyone seen Raxa? * Logan gestures towards Josh: We're only in here 'cuz we were shooting fireworks. I don't think they'll give us those back for fighting. Although they would make good tourist attractions." To chess, voice low: Not yet, and I've been looking. It's got me a bit worried. She can hold her own, but we won't know if something happens to her until too late, and that's a bit unsettling." * Billie shakes her head at Chess. Maybe she's in line. C'mon, Sun, let's get some food. And you can tell me how to pick up these points or whatever. * Billie makes for the trays and the line. * Yoshiko heads for the line! * Logan (and everyone else, presumably) trek over and get some food, and sit down at an empty table. That sounds like an good idea young lady. (just to speed things along) * Chess gets food, then introduces herself to Sun before eating. [You get food! Sorta. You get a glass of water and a bowl of greyish gruel. Frankly, it does taste like glue.] (What does Sun get?) [Sun, however, gets a glass of orange juice and a ham sandwich.] * Logan completely ignores his bowl of gruel and nurses his glass of water. (ham ;_;) * Billie spoons her gruel and lets it drip into the bowl. "Ew." She looks at Sun. "So how'd you get points?" * Chess tastes the gruel, then spits it out and gulps down her water. "Ugh. I think I miss my protein bars." ( See these blood stains on the bear? XD) (Hey, I don't know that yet!) (Also, I'm a deva. I don't have to eat, ha ha ha.) (That, and you can create food from thin air. Or at least, some of us can.) * Yoshiko looks down at the gruel and tastes it. She makes an icky face. "That's NASTY." [Sun explains! "When they have the activities... If you do well, you get points. Then you can buy food or... or Cody." She looks at the bear.] * Josh looks between his bowl and the sandwich. "I am seeing the advantage of having points." He tries the gloo. "Why is it that I can't remember where I live, but I can clearly remember eating things that this reminds me of?" (erm... which bear are we talking about?) * Billie smiles a little at Cody. "What are the, uh, activities?" (her stuffed bear) (Cody. The bear.) [You see Raxa enter the cafeteria with another woman, a very tall woman with huge muscles.] * Billie looks up at Raxa and waves. (I just don't believe the bear was mentioned before just then, at least in this channel) ["It changes. Sometimes it's a race or a maze." She frowns. "But the arena is really popular too."] ( Oops. ) Like... fights? * Billie looks a little uncomfortable at that. ( Well she has a bear. A bear there is. Here there be bear.] ) * Raxa walks in! She catches Billie's wave and waves back slightly, before saying quietly to her gigantic partner in crime, "My gangmate. Although it was not a very long lived gang." [She shivers a bit and nods. "They say it goes on until one person can no longer fight. But sometimes they let it go on til they die."] * Yoshiko frowns. "Fighting? I don't like that..." That's... that's really awful. Did you...? "What... what kind of fighting? Like, with swords?" [The huge woman looks you all over, then looks at Raxa. "Who are they?"] That's no good at all. [She nods.] I'm sorry, Sun. [She starts crying. "I didn't want to! I didn't!"] * Billie sighs and hugs the teenager. She's probably done this before. * Logan looks uncomfortable. * Raxa continues walking to foodland, so they can get their food and join the party. "More people looking for Zrho. Would you believe I've only known them for a day and a half?" Had a rough time of it? [The line is short, since most people got their food while Raxa and the woman weren't there. She gets some spicy chicken, rice, and beer, then turns to Raxa. "What do you want? And who the hell's Zrho? That's an even weirder name than yours."] Um... is she gonna be okay? To Chess, very quietly: "You ever killed anyone before?" * Billie looks at Chess. "It's rough, you know? Fighting just because people tell you to do it. That's why we're *against* this whole stupid thing in the first place." * Raxa looks at what Fatima gets and says, "That all looks fine. And you're right, it is weird. We're actually looking for someone who knows Zrho." [Fatima gets the same thing for Raxa. "Good luck with that."] ( /directs Chess to /msg omgwtfbbq' ) * Raxa chuckles lowly and says, "You are telling me the truth, Fatima. How many people are actually here, would you say?" She heads to rejoin the group, with Fatima! * Chess whispers to Logan, "No," then tells Billie, "We'll make it through. You too, Sun. Keep holding on." (Brett: Say what?) ["Hell if I know."] 2d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chess (2d6+6) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 16. "Well, hopefully we will keep it that way." [Sun keeps crying.] * Yoshiko sighs. "I, uh, um..." * Josh drinks his water. "I don't supose there's anything more you can do for her?" * Logan creates and hands her a handkerchief. * Chess stands up and looks around, then back down at her friends. "Do you guys hear that?" (Do we hear that?) ( Hear what? ) * Billie rubs Sun's back. "It'll be okay," she murmurs, not really paying attention to Chess (though she probably should). She grabs her water and gives it to Sun. "Here." Hear what? 2d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chess (2d6+6) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 16. to chess: "Hear what?" Hear what? * Raxa sits down at the table with the others, glancing to the crying girl and then looking over at Billie. "Did something happen?" (in unison! And then we all look at each other awkwardly and giggle) I thought I heard... * Billie looks up at Raxa. "They made her fight." Quietly to Raxa: "I think she accidentally killed someone in the arena recently." (How old does the girl look?) (She's about 16.) To Chess: "Wait, what did you think you heard?" * Chess points. "There's an old guy who might be getting attacked by some people... crap, I'm gonna go possibly get in trouble. Excuse me." Hey, you're not goin' by yourself. Let's go. * Chess hurries over to the old guy and cat. "Are you okay, sir?" * Logan grins, 'accidentally' flips his full bowl of glue over on the table, and follows. * Raxa is silent a moment, looks over at Fatima, then back at the others as she says, "This is Fatima. She's a nazi killer. She also doesn't know the name Zrho." She looks over at Chess standing and presses her lips together. * Josh says softly. "I've always wanted to see a prision riot, just not this close..." * Josh then stands up and ambles over. [Across the room is an old man sitting on the floor, his tray and food fallen beside him. Two men and a woman are standing over him, and there's a cat on his table, meowing plaintively. Some prisoners are watching, but none of them move to help.] * Billie frowns and stands, too, though she doesn't move; one hand stays on Sun's shoulder. She looks over at Fatima. "Hey. You sound pretty damn awesome, so double plus from me." * Chess holds out a hand to the old man. "May I help you up?" ( Oi, one thing at a time :X ) (Sorry!) * Yoshiko looks around, seeing if anyone messes with Chess trying to get the man up. * Logan steps up behind Chess, keeping an eye on the cat, the crowd, and generally providing support by numbers. [As you approach, one of the men kicks the old man, saying again, "Come on, grandpa, give up the points." He eyes Chess as she intrudes. "Who the fuck are you?"] [The man in question is Asian in appearance, with spikey red hair and a ring on every finger except his thumb.] * Logan sizes up the three people threatening the old guy. Someone who doesn't need to beat up on old men for points. Can't earn them yourself? (Brett, Judge Opponent: allows me to estimate how tough they are in combat) (On a scale of 1 to punks.) (no, on a scale of punks to tanks.) [The woman and the other man are both white. The woman has her shirt half-way unbuttoned, and wears an undecorated wristband. The other man has long black hair, braided twice.] [The old man is black, incidentally.] [The red haired man laughs, along with his comrades. The black haired man says, "You must be new here." The woman smiles. "Else you'd have heard of the Ravens."] * Logan puts a hand on Chess's shoulder and mentions, very quietly: "This not coming to blows would be most ideal, that guy looks dangerous." * Billie comments to the others, "Looks like Chess found a prison gang." Continuing: "That said, we're behind you 110%." Um... hey, we're not looking for a fight. Really. (These jumpers long-sleeved?) I am new. What are the Ravens? [Fatima, the large woman with Raxa, shakes her head at Billie. "Kind of. But a bit different. A lot of people here form teams. They participate together in events, they team up on the weak..."] * Chess is hoping really hard that the old man will -go away- while they're talking. * Josh ambles closer. "It'd be a shame if anybody got hurt." [The dark haired man laughs. "Listen up. We're the strongest group in block four."] [The woman says, "You want something? You go through us."] * Logan rolls his eyes at Josh, and throws a glance back at the others at the table. [The red-haired man says, "We do what we want. We take what we want."] * Raxa eats her chicken, mms. "At least it has spice. Well, groups make sense, certainly..." * Billie asks Fatima: "Are you part of a team?" [Fatima frowns. "No. But your friends better be careful. The Ravens talk big, but they have the chops to back it up with."] (assuming the answer to the sleeves question is "yes") Logan makes a pair of rudimentary shivs, one up each sleeve. ...From old people? (Is the old dude moving?) ( They are, yes ) * Billie nods. "Still, beating up some old dude for his points is so NOT peace and awesomeness it's not even funny. I wish I were better at fighting... instead, all I got is medical training." [The old man is moving. He says, "Please, It took me forever to save up these points! All I want is a hot meal and food for my cat..."] [The dark-haired man grins and snatches the black cat up. "This cat?"] * Raxa elbows Fatima and grins at Billie. "She's on my team." She then looks over at Logan and adds, to Billie, "Putting people together is of worth too, Billie." Billie, fighting is not in line with peace and awesomeness. Not the peace part, anyway. * Josh nods to himself. "An absolute crying shame that shouldn't be allowed to happen, at all I think." He nods again. (Blackbeard's finest, Billie, Chess... and the old dude and his cat can all have +1 body stat XD) (Not me? I hate you!) (You're still back at the table!) (So's Billie!) (Oh, damnit, then she's out.) * Raxa scowls a touch as she looks on. "How many fools will I have to pummel today?" (what about meee.) (Oh, retcon my line then.) (I thought she'd walked over with Chess. >.< Everybody who's over her and not a raven or me gets the buff.) [Fatima frowns. "Don't. You don't want to get involved."] [Sun stops crying long enough to look over that way.] I'll give you the next points I earn if you leave the guy and his cat alone. * Billie edges forward even as Fatima says that, trying to get a good look at the old guy and see how bad his injuries are. (Man, I knew I should have grabbed the cat when I had the chance) [They laugh. "Really? Maybe we'll just take his points and yours too."] [He doesn't seem to be too injured, just bruised a bit. For now, anyhow.] * Yoshiko looks nervous as things escalate. "Uh, um... Don't fight, please?" * Chess smiles. "I don't get very hungry. There's no reason for me to earn points unless I try." * Logan snerks in spite of himself. Under his breath. "Oh, that's a good one." [The old man kneels up. "Please! Don't hurt Blackie! I'll give you my points!" He holds out a bunch of credit-card-sized.... cards.] * Raxa looks over at Fatima and says, "They should have more respect for their elders." She frowns. "A lesson I would be glad to teach, but I only have so much blood." [The red-haired man looks from him to Chess, then takes the cards. He holds them up to Chess. "5000 points. Match that in a week, or else."] Hey, don't start with that! They'll just ask for more when you get more. It's like training a dog. The cat, please. [He glances at Yoshiko when she says that. Then smiles at his dark-haired ally. "Or we can just take the cat. Could have a lot of fun with that."] * Logan laughs at the red-haired man. "Seriously, that's your best line? 'I got some money, you should also give me this much money or I'll threaten you'? I wouldn't hold your breath about that." * Billie looks very carefully at the three Ravens, detailing their appearances into her memory. She may or may not assassinate them in the night later. I really don't want to know what kind of fun you get up to with cats. I'll give you nothing if you harm it. (Sorry, retcon his last line. I thought they had already handed over the cat.) [The red haired man nods to the black-haired, who throws the cat at Chess.] ( Chess, gimme a melee defense (grabs) roll! ) * Yoshiko looks angrily at the three. She's... not very threatening. (Oh, I am gonna have to light some fools up tonight!) (And that's no mean feat, cats are really hard to throw.) (They are.) ( It's his gene-mod power ) (That was certainly a random thing to pay for.) 2d6+5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chess (2d6+5) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 10. [Chess catches the cat! The red-haired man nods to her. "5000 points. One week." Then the three of them head away.] * Chess looks down at the cat. "Cat. I need a favor." [The cat meows.] * Billie lets Chess deal with the old dude and the cat (he seems to not be dying to her) and edges back to the others. "He'll be okay, he's just a little bruised. Really terrible about the points, though... do the Ravens always do this?" To Josh: "You'll notice that she didn't say she would neccesarily give them the points if they gave the cat back. Not that I'm worried about going back on our word in here, or anything." [Fatima nods. "Yeah. There's a few teams in other cells that can stand up to them, but..."] If you find a white rabbit, please don't attack it. And if you hear someone mention 'Zhro' or 'deva', I'd appreciate it if you let me know who said it. * Josh shrugs. [The old man gets to his feet. "Thank you. Thank you.... Can I have Blackie back?"] (Hey chess, do you get a bonus to catching cats?) (Zrho!) [The cat meows.] (Yeah, that guy.) Right. * Logan makes the shivs go away. * Chess nods to the cat. "Thank you." She hands him back to the guy. "Here you go." * Billie frowns. "I want to burn this place to the ground. After I cover it in pink glitter." She holds her hand out to Fatima. "I'm Billie, by the way." [He pets the cat. "Thank you."] [The cat meows.] I hope you're all right. That was quite a scary situation... You're welcome. Please stay safe. [Fatima shakes Billie's hand, damn near crushing it. "Fatima."] * Chess looks to the cat. "Yeah, sorry they got taken. I tried to help out." On the way back to the table, to Chess: "You know, we should totally form a team. We could be... the Zomegars." [He nods. "It's okay. At least they didn't hurt Blackie."] * Billie hisses. "You've got a hell of a grip, Fatima." ["Damn straight."] I'm just glad that's been resolved. * Chess heads back to the table with Logan! "It might be a good idea, actually. The guy we're looking for might hear and come find us." "Josh, Yoshiko, you in?" So... I can apparently understand cats. * Raxa grins and elbows her again, looking at Billie. "I got a good cellmate, yes?" Hey, that's pretty cool. * Logan grins. "I got that." Given the food if I don't? Yes. * Yoshiko sighs at Logan's proposal. "I guess." Yeah, you did well in the cellmate lottery. I think I did, too. * Billie glances at Sun. How's she doing? [The bell rings. Sun gets to her feet. Fatima sighs and follows suit. "And that's dinner."] ( Morbidly! ) Aw, and I missed out on most of the DELICIOUS gruel. * Billie stands, in any event. * Logan gets back to the table. "Raxa, Marissa, we're starting our own team. We're going to be called Team Zomegar." To Sun and Fatima. "You can join too, if you want." * Raxa starts, and downs the rest of her beer quickly. At least she had decent food! "Pah." [Sun doesn't respond. Fatima says, "Let me think about it."] "Do you gals have an event tonight? Josh and I are up at 8:30. * Chess gets back to the table when the bell rings. "I vote just the Zomegars, by the way. Team Zomegar sounds grade school." I think we're all up at 8:30. * Billie glances at Sun. "Also, I'm going to stick by Sun as much as I can, if it's cool with you guys. Not that I won't help, but." "We're right behind you on that." Sure. [People file out of the cafeteria!] * Raxa stands and nods slightly, looking over at Billie. "We have time to teach you fighting, too. There is no reason a healer cannot fight." * Raxa then starts filing out. ( But they don't get strength bonuses! ) "All right, so we'll see you gals at 8:30 for the first outing of The Zomegars..." he glances at Sun and FAtima "... and friends." (Raxa will strength bonus you in the face!) Sounds like a bad TV show. * Billie moves, in any event. [Then suddenly! The session ended.]
