[Nazi Earth, Day 12] [Y'all are in a glass room attached to a pillar attached to a large metal room attached to a secret lab attached to a Nazi Prison attached to Manhattan. Except Billie.] [You just rescued some naked old guy from being strapped to and plugged into said pillar. He's a bleedin'. So's Josh, though by some miracle he's not dead yet.] [The alarm is sounding and you'll probably be swarmed by more guards any second.] [And Start] * Josh burns that DP he just got back on healing himself. "Hokay, this is the part where we run the fuck away." * Raxa crouches and lays her hands on the man, before saying, "We might not want to be here much longer, yes." A low chuckle, then she adds, "But it would be fun." Yeah, uh... how do we get out? Well, I know how WE get out, how do we get HIM out? * Yoshiko motions at the bleedin'dude. (I'm a healin'!) [He gets healed. Enough to groan.] * Josh evedently turned back to a normal human between sessions and his player totally didn't forget the pirate accent. "S'was just going to be a smash'ngrab. Find him teleport out with him." * Raxa looks up at people and says, "If we can get him to respond, we will be fine." She looks down at him. "You need to teleport out of here to Zhro, and then meet us with Zomegar." (Uh, can another deva even ENTER our sanctuary?) (I was under the impression that the answer was no, since it is a sanctuary.) (Hell if I know!) (But there's got to be some communication method or something, says Raxa.) [He blinks wearily a couple of times, mumbles... "Arlington. Tomorrow." Then vanishes.] (Yeah, is there some sort of communication thing?) (Oh, that works!) (I guess we're going to Arlington!) * Raxa grins and looks up at people. "See?" She stretches as she stands, grinning still. "I'm very good." ... Oh goody, a new entire city to search. Just kill me now. * Yoshiko sighs. "Yeah, you are." She smiles at the others. "Let's get out of here." * Raxa nods slightly and says, "I... believe we have to find Billie as well, if she hasn't left this world already." * Raxa looks over at Josh and pats him on the shoulder. "But you might want to go home, boy, mmm?" * Josh winces. "Ow. Least the company's good, and I've got no clue on reaching Billie." I don't have much left in me, I could probably teleport once, maybe twice more. So if we're gonna find Billie, we're gonna have to find her fast. * Raxa chuckles, then says, "I'm fine, myself. It's just blood." We should return if we must. (Hey Brett? I forget does teleporting back to the sanctuary cost DP?) (DP? It shouldn't cost DP. @_@) (It costs EP, doesn't it?) (I don't remember!) * Raxa half-waves her hand, then thinks herself towards Billie. Hopefully this doesn't get her killed! ( EP ) But you can still make the jump if you're out, you just collapse instantly :P (Oh, okay. XD) ( That is, you can jump back to the sanctuary ) ( You can't jump elsewhere if you're out. ) * Josh looks at the remaining magical girls and rabbit. "I'll be back as soon as I'm not nearly dead. Beat some Nazi's up for me k?" * Josh thinks about the sanctuary because single digit hps are bad! (Uh, I really doubt she's going to stay there, Josh. ;P) (They way our lives go she'll totally teleport into Nazi spies in Germany.) [Josh vanishes] Hey, you're not goin' without me! ( Oh right ) * Yoshiko teleports after Raxa! [Y'all end up in a burnt out apartment building, where Billie and Sun are. Sun's now wearing a generic shirt and pants rather than prison garb.] [Also, from the shadows come squeaks.] * Billie is there, too, and she and Sun are both huddled by a battery-powered lamp. She's wearing bikerish clothes, including a bandanna covering her hair, and is half dozing off. * Raxa flicks blood from her fingers and looks around, shaking her head to clear it. "Easy enough. They say it's far easier to get into places than to get out." [Sun is not. She's obviously alert and tracking the shadows carefully. When you pop in, she elbows Billie slightly.] * Billie jerks awake and the shadows close in- then they stop. "Raxa? Yoshiko?" * Yoshiko pops in right after Raxa, Yuki poofing into existance on her shoulder. "I'll say." * Yoshiko glances over at Billie and smiles. "There you are. Need some light?" * Billie blinks at them. "Sure?" * Raxa crouches down to look at the two sitting women. "We rescued the man beneath the jail." Oh, that's great. Zhro's guy, right. * Yoshiko walks over to them and snaps her fingers, a globe of light appearing and giving a 'bit better view of the area. "Yeah, he was in really bad shape. It was all we could do to just keep him from dying on the spot." Right. So what's the deal? ( brb ) We will meet him tomorrow at a place. Arlington, right? * Raxa nods slightly. "Arlington, yes, whatever that means." She rolls her eyes and smiles slightly, then adds, "What about you?" * Billie closes her eyes. "Think there's an Arlington New York. That'd probably be it." ( Back ) Me and Sun escaped, got her some new clothes, picked up some vending machine food for her. But we're stuck in this city until we can get her past the police blockades. 'm hopin' the deva you saved could get her to Germany once we have to go. * Raxa nods slightly and mms. After a moment, she says, "My cellmate was a warrior against the Nazis. If she could be freed, maybe she would be of help." So we've gotta go back in and free Fatima? I dunno if I can. I'm kinda running on fumes now... * Billie looks at Sun, checking on how she's doing. * Raxa shakes her head, and says, "I... do not think there is a rush." * Yoshiko mmms and nods. "Me as well." She looks at Sun as well, mentally gauging how much Sun could run for it if things got that far. [Sun is doin' fine! She just looks totally lost.] * Billie turns her attention back to Raxa. "Look, no offense, but there kind of is. If we're meeting this deva tomorrow, then I basically have until tomorrow to make sure Sun's taken care of. Because you can *bet* we're going to have to leave once we get the info we need out of him." * Raxa lets out a small sigh and looks up at the ceiling a moment. "Yes, but Josh and Chess are resting, and with Logan gone... that leaves us few resources for the next day." So what should we do then? How are we going to get Sun out of here? * Raxa continues looking up, then says, "I managed to pull that man from the pillar. Do... you think I could change Sun's face?" ... Wouldn't that hurt? * Raxa looks back to Billie. "I... imagine so." But then she wouldn't be recognized, and that would give her... freedom here? Yes? Yeah, I think it would. Facemelting, ugh. * Raxa smiles weakly and glances to her. "We could always change it back in the future, child." [Sun blinks. "Change... my face?" She absently fingers said face.] * Billie looks at Sun. "If Raxa can do it, you'd be a lot safer." [She nods reluctantly. "I guess...."] * Raxa looks between the two of them and says, "This is new to me too, but it is all the flows of life, so not truly new at all." * Yoshiko snickers, and keeps her comment to herself. (:|) * Raxa stands up slightly and moves over near to Sun, before crouching back down and reaching her hands over to Sun's face, touching it lightly with her fingertips. "Any suggestions?" ["Just... Don't give me big lips."] Make her Caucasian. Blonde hair, blue eyes, fair skin. Maybe some freckles. Means she'll move around the city easier. * Billie looks at Sun, then smiles a little. "And get some food, right? Just pretend you're deaf and can't speak." * Raxa looks over at Billie and nods, then back to Sun with a slight smile. "Here I go, then, child. Be brave." [Sun nods and takes a deep breath.] * Raxa then tries to apply her divine power to modify Sun's looks! And hopefully minimizing the pain. (If any!) [Raxa maneuvers Sun's face like jelly, so she looks like Hannah Montanna.] (Damn, I'm good! Now, to Hollywood!) * Yoshiko blinks. Then blinks again. "Wow. I didn't know you had that in you." * Raxa nods and chuckles. "Life is putty under the hands of a master. Whether metal or flesh, I do have the spark." What's metal have to do with it? * Raxa looks over at Yoshiko. "Oh, I made metal live back before. Like those robots." [Sun feels her new face.] * Billie blinks. "Wow. Nice work, Raxa." She creates a mirror and hands it over to Sun. * Raxa grins and adds, "And, of course, when it comes to flesh on flesh, there are few my equal." [Sun stares at her reflection. "This is me?"] Oh. Cool. * Yoshiko raises an eyebrow. "Flesh to flesh too, huh?" It is now. I'm sure Raxa can change you back. * Billie reaches over and pulls the band from Sun's arm, and lets it dissolve in her hand. * Raxa chuckles. "It does seem easy." She looks over at Yoshiko, and glances her over, then looks back to Billie and Sun. "Well, if that is all..." What about food'n'stuff? Can't make food. Not that'll work, anyway. [Sun nods. "We found that out the hard way."] She'll have to go buy some. But Sun's got some money... * Billie thinks, then says, "I can drive you to a cheap hotel or something. Could get a room and some food." And then tomorrow, can try to convince the deva to help you? If it comes to that, and we're fully rested, we can probably get you out of the city at that point. [Sun nods. "Alright."] Okay. * Billie stands and stretches with a yawn. "Let's get on that. I'll meet you guys at the sanctuary, 'kay?" [Sun stands up, and unexpectedly hugs Billie. "Thank you. For everything."] * Raxa nods and tilts her head. "If you need help, I haven't lost much blood..." she trails off at the hug and smiles to herself. * Billie starts a little, then hugs Sun back. "You're welcome. It's not over yet." (Want to skip over the finding a hotel stuff and stuff?) ( Yes @_@ ) (Hehe, okay. ^^ Just desc it. I think we're all spending the night at the sanctuary before we head out again.) [Poof! You're back at the sanctuary. With Jack Frost. "Hee ho!"] ( Assuming you're going there :P Please say yes. ) (Yes!) * Raxa shows up back at the sanctuary, sure! * Yoshiko poofs back to the sanctuary! That's a good idea! And changes out of guard clothes, 'cuz pants are weird. * Josh is already there, and mostly asleep on a large plush couch that didn't exist last time. "Huzzlwah?" * Billie appears last by far, still wearing biker clothes and a band over her arm. "That was a pain in the ass, but Sun's okay for now." * Josh blinks blearlily at the girls. "I sleep through you getting the sinthing?" Nah, just rearranging Sun's face and finding her a place to sleep and eat. * Billie looks at Jack Frost. "We got anything pressing right now?" * Raxa stretches and mms, smiling. "These new powers suit me very well." Ho? I don't think so... ( Says Frost ) Man, that was wacky. It was like making a putty monster. But without the monster. And the putty was her FACE. ( you got me used to not using brackets anymore :X ) (Ahahahaha!) 'kay. I'ma go fall asleep until I don't want to sleep no more. Kay. Remind me to invent painkillers that don't make me sleepy after I wake up. * Josh yawns deeply and falls back over onto the couch. ["Hee ho! Make sure you wake up in time to find the deva, ho!"] * Billie shuffles off to one of the doors, her clothes shifting to pajamas with butterflies all over them. Also comfy looking slipper socks. "Ha. I could make those." * Raxa looks after Billie with a slight grin, but shakes her head, glances at Josh, and then stretches her hands above her head again as she heads towards her room. [You go to sleep!] * Yoshiko stretches. "I'm gonna get some sleep." Yuki hops off. "Yup! Sweet dreams." [Some time later, you wake to an incredibly loud "HEE HO!!"] [Somehow a little stand with a little Jack Frost alarm clock appeared next to wherever you were sleeping, and it's now going "HEE HO!! HEE HO!! HEE HO!!" Over and over.] * Billie mrbles and throws a large number of shadowy shuriken through the clock. Still, she wakes up. Grumpily. * Josh rolls off the couch, falls to the floor, and madly scrambles for his feet. "Aaaaah!" * Yoshiko jumps up out of her bed, and Yuki does similar. They both look at the alarm clock and Yoshiko smashes it with a broom. ( That's some broom ) * Raxa sits up, in the tattooed nude, and looks over at the odd clock, before turning it off and standing, clothes appearing on her as she walks out of her door. "Mmm... is it time to go to Arlington?" * Josh summons a hammer and smashes the clock. "Gah, never do that again!" * Raxa puts a hand on her hip and looks over at Josh. "But it worked, yes?" * Yoshiko gets out of bed and runs her fingers through her hair, ribbons following them as the rest of her clothes changes to her normal dress. She brushes her hair as she addresses Raxa after stepping out of her room. "Maybe?" (Remind me: How's our EP/HP recovery?) [Jack waves his hands. "Yes, hee! You have an appointment to keep, ho!"] ( Full! ) (Sweet!) (I think it's full if we rest at home base.) (DP full as well?) Effective yes. Pleasant? No. ( No ) * Billie creates a shower stall in the corner of her room and goes about cleaning herself for a few minutes. Seriously, prison is a nasty place. (Yeah, the DP only fully restores between missions.) (... What defines a mission?) (When Brett says!) * Raxa laughs faintly and says, "Not alone, no." She eyes her fingernails a moment, then says, "I guess we will leave when everyone is here." ( When I say :P ) (WHEN HE SAY) (When you say?) * Josh nods and then picks at his bloodstained uniform. "My next clever plan is going to involve a lot less of me getting shot full of holes." (You have no chance to survive) * Raxa clucks her tongue. "Perhaps a clever plan would not get you shot at all. Why are you still wearing those clothes here?" * Yoshiko cleans herself off with a few cantrips, and fixes up the holes and tears as well. "Maybe he LIKES his holey fatigues." Because I summoned up some pills, the couch and then fell asleep. Why don't you change then? * Billie appears with the others in a swirl of smoke and shadow. She's wearing khakis and a white t-shirt with a big yellow smiley on it, and she's blowdrying her hair. "I so very needed that shower." * Josh streaches. "Because I haven't gotten around to it yet. Sheesh." * Josh snaps his fingers and dresses himself in boots, slacks, and a well worn brown tshirt that may have once had a logo on it. [You can see the faint worn outline of a logo that once read "Da man" on Josh's shirt.] * Raxa mms as she smiles at both the arrivers, then looks to Jack. "So where is Arlington? That's where we need to be." ["There's a couple places named Arlington, ho, but if I had to guess...."] (And it has a piece of white paper with a 'TH' written in orange marker tapped over it.) [Jack summons up the map and points at a spot in Virginia. "Here. Hee ho! There's a huge cemheetary here dedicated to fallen Nazi soldiers. It's quiet and a great place for a meeting, ho."] Great. * Billie creates a band for Japanese, then, and slaps it on her arm. * Raxa nods and says, "Then that is where we will go." And she goes! Poof! * Josh lables himself as caucasian. "Gotta put them somewhere." * Yoshiko makes a new band for herself and slaps it on. She picks up Yuki and looks at the others, then poofs! * Josh goes poof as well! ( caucasians don't get labels :P ) (Then I didn't have to do anything! XD) * Billie takes a deep breath, then poofs! [You arrive at a cemetary! It is a huge place, as Frosty described, built across hills. There's uniform tombstones in uniform rows and columns, each looking identical except for the names: They're all white, with a big iron cross emblem on the top.] * Raxa changes her clothes to match this place's style, with the band on as well. She sighs slightly and starts walking. "Ah... buried dead. Interesting." [There's a few people milling about here and there, but mostly it's pretty quiet. It's not hard to find the old guy, who looks a lot better than he did the last time you saw him. His beard and mustache have been trimmed, his hair combed back. He's wearing a grey trnchcoat, slacks and a vest.] Why would you do that? Seriously. * Josh looks around. "So, yeah. Pretty much like the end of every army movie ever. Oh, hey, there he is." How depressing. The earth is what people were made of. To return is no bad thing, Yoshiko. Yes, but they're all dead Nazis so I wouldn't feel too sorry for them. * Raxa walks over to the guy! WOO. * Josh starts walking to the guy. * Billie walks around with them, looking at the graves. "If you're born into a fucked up world, you're bound to be fucked up." She looks up. "Oh, is that the guy?" * Yoshiko glances at Raxa. "At least have the courtesy to cremate the body so it doesn't get reanimated." Maybe this world doesn't have a problem with zombies, yeah? * Billie follows the others to the guy! * Raxa makes a face. "It isn't one where I come from either." Yep. Only zombies I know of are in movies. [You get to the guy. He harumphs as you near. "It's you."] * Yoshiko idly comments as they walk to the other guy. "Well, it's not exactly common, but it can happen. I mean if you leave the physical corpses around you could have anything happen to them. We have enough trouble with brooms and umbrellas and even pots animating. Can you imagine how bad it'd be if ghosts could find their old bodies and haunt where they were\?" (How are you gentleman?) Oh, hi! Yeah, us. You look better. * Yoshiko smiles and bows to the man. * Raxa frowns a moment at Yoshiko's statement, then nods slightly and says, "You are well, I hope?" [He nods. "I suppose I should thank you for the rescue yesterday."] (Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut) It'd be apreciated, but we're actually after some information. ["Of course you are. There's no other reason for you to be on this world. I also know what you want to ask me."] * Josh nods. "That'll save me the trouble of asking." * Billie holds up her hand. "Before we go too much further, what's your name?" ["Raymond. Raymond Harley."] * Billie holds her hand out to him. "Billie Tochikura." (AFK feeding cats) [He doesn't shake. He just looks at Billie's hand then says, "I have to ask... why? Why would you want to find those hellish things?"] * Raxa squints a moment, then says, "Zomegar has made us his deva to find them." * Billie looks down at her hand, briefly confused. Maybe tattoos offend him? Then she shoves it in her pocket and says, "We're trying to help our god, Zomegar. Zhro's brother. He's trapped or sealed away or something." * Josh shrugs helplessly. "That's how it is." There ya go. [He grumbles under his breath. "Then Zomegar is a fool. Why does he think they were seperated and hidden in the first place? Items of power so great, even gods seek them out... Foolish."] He's kinda stuck. ["He's not the only one."] And something's trying to burn our links to him. One of us is already gone. Actually, you have any idea what happened to them? ["No. In fact, Zrho is in much the same position. Hence my previous dilemma at the prison."] * Billie sighs. "So you can't help us?" That's so uncool. [He looks to the horizon. "I can tell you where to find the Record. That will lead you to the sinseals. I only hope you come to realize the power you're seeking is too great for any being to control, and do not persue them."] * Raxa nods slowly and smiles. "Thank you." * Billie shrugs. It's not entirely her choice, really. "One more thing... I mean, if you're willing to do a favor." If you come up with a way to let Zrho and Zomegar out that doesn't involve them, let us know. [He raises an eyebrow.] I helped get this girl out of that prison, Sun. She's really- she's a good person. Could you get her to Germany, somehow, or a place where she'll be safe? * Billie glanced at Raxa. "We changed her face, at least temporarily, but." [He nods. "I'll take care of it."] * Billie smiles. "Thanks. I mean that." She creates pictures, both of Sun's current appearance and her past appearance, and hands them to Raymond. "Tell her Billie sent you." And she relates her current address. [He nods.] * Billie thinks to Sun, ~The deva agreed to help you. His name's Raymond.~ * Billie glances at the others. Anything else? ["Well. You have what you need."] * Josh points at Raxa. "Roommate." (Wait, he didn't actually tell us where the record is, did he?) (No, he didn't.) (He hasn't) ( Oops. Nevermind that line :P ) * Raxa looks over at Josh, and then back to him. "Fatima was an anti-Nazi fighter, I believe... she may be of help in settling Sun in Germany, if you find time to free her." ["That may not be within my power."] * Raxa nods a little and half-smiles. "I somehow expected that. Hopefully I'll find time to help her later." I think that's everything but you telling us where the record is. Yup. [He closes his eyes. "Telanrem. It's in Telanrem."] * Billie nods. ( And I need to afk, soooo.... ) [Now you know! Session end!]
