[It is the DARK of NIGHT. It is the TIME of AMBUSH. You guys are in *another* Mexican standoff, and once again, none other than Jan is to blame. At least partially, anyway. She and her buddies Greebo and Ellie are surrounded by about ten guys plus one Draco Malf- Jennings, big ol' sword and all. Two more guys are on the floor: one clutches a bleeding arm, and the other is passed out at Greebo The Strong Man's feet.] [Greebo's got his rifle out, the guys have their pistols out, Ellie looks ready to work some magic mojo, Millie and Jinx are both being aimed at by Draco's grunts, and Jan also has one pistol pointed at Draco and one at Jinx.] [Her attention snapped to Jinx at his last words, and though her guns don't waver, her complexion pales, and she licks her lips. "You... I killed you!"] [There you have it. Session Start.] [Oh, refreshing on the room: high ceiling, chandeliers, plush carpeting, a number of tables and chairs. Looks like a dining hall.] (Oh, and roll init.) [Draco takes the opportunity of Jan's distraction to rush down the stairs, a crazed look in his eyes. All at once, he draws his blade, slicing at Jan, who seems to have forgotten him at the moment, but manages to block the sword with her pistol.] ( And yeah, roll init ) d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Millie (d6+7) and gets 8. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jinx (d6+7) and gets 10. [Order: Jan, Jinx, Draco, Greebo, Ellie, Millie, Goon x 10] ( Prolly should wait. Else it'll get awfully confusing. ) [Jan blocks Draco's sword with her pistol! Really, it's more of a deflection, and she looks to Draco, wild-eyed. She shoves the sword away with her pistol, bringing her other gun forward and firing at Draco's hand. The first aims downward, for his leg.] (Going to describe out comes or should I go?) [Draco spins with the shove, bringing the flat of his blade around to Jan's other gun, pushing it slightly just before she fires, causing her to hit the floor. God knows how he got so skillful with a Shomuran weapon in a racist place like Hellspoint, but his ability seems to show.] [Jinx] * Jinx aims his shotgun at the biggest clump of Draco's goons available and fires. "My luck turned around. I hope you aren't disappointed." * RowynSleepyn has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jinx (2d6-4) and gets 5. (Make by 2) (So two barrels) * RowynSleepyn has joined #rsp [Aren't they? Jinx catches two of them in the buckshot spread, wounding their sides, though they still stand.] * Millie has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) ( @_@ ) [Draco] d2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ardweden (d2) and gets 2. [Draco pulls back his blade ever so slightly and thrusts at Jan's throat. She brings her pistols up, barrels crossed, and pushes the blade high above her head. Undaunted, Draco lifts the blade up and spins fully, slashing sideways. Jan hops back, but not fast enough to avoid the tip of the long sword, and suffers a small cut across her chest.] ( Werdz >.> ) [Greebo] [Greebo grunts and raises his shotgun. He calmly aims at a thug and fires the thing.] [The goon is hit directly in the chest and falls over. He's apparently still conscious, but in a whole lot of pain.] * Dreol has joined #RSP * Millie has joined #rsp [Ellie] * RowynSleepyn has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [Ellie very quickly moves to Jan's side, looking like she's ready to claw Draco's eyes out. But instead she turns her attention to the goons on her side and chants a spell. One of them is entwined in thorny roots.] [Millie's turn] ( HATE that spell. ) * RowynSleepyn has joined #rsp * Millie has quit IRC (SVSKilled: GHOST command used by RowynSleepyn ) * RowynSleepyn is now known as Millie * Millie glances lazily from Jan to Jinx then back, one eye and full rifle still trained on the remaining goons aiming at them. "Well, now that introductions are out of the way..." She fires a shot at the one who dares to point at her. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Millie (2d6-4) and gets 2. [Millie durn near blows his arm off.] (And reminder, it's the new rifle) ( New rifle? O.o ) (Lightning!) (Yeah, that one. :P) (The one she got from the tomb that shoots light and stuff!) ( Oh <.< ) [In that case, Millie does blow his arm off. Or more like burns. Y'know.] [Goons turns] (As a note, Millie, that's a repeating rifle she's using. It's a -3 for you to hit, not -4.) (Yeah, just was talking to Brett about that) ( *rubs his head as he makes 9 rolls >.< ) (Brett: If you don't mind using Dicey, I always make a stealth rolling channel just to make it easier for things like that) ( Nahh, there'll be less goons soon :P ) [The four injured not bound goons try their best, but fail to hit anything. The uninjured ones, however, do a bit better. Ellie takes a shot in the arm. Greebo avoids one bullet, but gets hit by another. And Jinx and Millie maybe get hit if they don't make defense rolls.] 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jinx (2d6) and gets 9. (dr1) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jinx (2d6) and gets 8. (get hit) [Jinx takes a bullet in the arm.] 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Millie (2d6-2) and gets 3. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Tairan (d6+7) and gets 8. ( x_x ) (I maketh ze defense) d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for John (d6+7) and gets 12. * Jinx falters for a moment, but keeps his grin for now. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Fanfan (d6+7) and gets 9. (...uncool.) [Millie, on the other hand, ducks behind the door and avoids getting shot.] (Fanfan: I rolled a 1...think how I feel. :P) (Like Tairan?) (Yes, about like that.) [Meanwhile, everyone else arrives, as well as three more goons from a door on the opposite end of the hall.] [New order is Jan, John, Jinx, Draco, Fanfan, Greebo, Ellie, Millie, Tairan, bunch more goons.] [Jan] [Jan gets cut across her chest, in in the midst of the chaos and insanity and absolute craziness, she starts to laugh. Softly at first, and then it grows. "Think you can take me?" she yells at Draco over the gunfire, raising her right pistol to aim at him from her prone position and firing. She uses her other hand to push herself to her feet, circling away to behind a chair and firing again, this time with her other gun.] * RowynSleepyn has joined #rsp * Millie has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [Draco takes a bullet in the shoulder and another in the leg. But he doesn't cry out or show any signs of pain at all. In fact, he's grinning wildly.] [John's turn] * RowynSleepyn is now known as Millie ( My god. It's DRACO that's Nasira. ) * John draws his pistols as he busts in, looking around at goon-goon-goon-goon- goon-Jan-Draco-goon-goon-goon-goon... ( That all you're doing? :P ) (No, I'm talking to Ard too. :P) * John picks his target, the one that shot at Jinx and was good enough to hit, and lets lose a pair of bullets. (loose) (Quite, thanks.) 2 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for John (2 2d6-4) and gets 3 2. (Make and make.) (Nah he loses them. Then he has to spend a round finding them! ^^ and on that note. 'night guys. thanks for the show!) (Night Dre.) [John hits him in the left shoulder. He turns that way, but then is hit in the right shoulder with the other one, causing him to spin and fall to the ground. He's twitching, but still has his gun.] [Jinx's turn] * Jinx murmurs an impressed "Damn..." as he focuses his attention on Jan's battle. As he does this he casually lets go of his shotgun with his right hand and pulls out his pistol. Not waiting to make any attempt at aiming he fires at a chandelier hoping to smash some goons. 2d6+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jinx (2d6+1) and gets 13, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "I hate being random." (dr2) 2d6+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jinx (2d6+1) and gets 8. (Hmm) (dr3) 2d6+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jinx (2d6+1) and gets 5. (Good, I'd hate to think t he chandelier was in league with the awnings.) (Hit) [Jinx's bullet ricochets around the room, but does manage to hit the chain holding the chandelier before it finishes. The light fixture falls, crushing the three guys who just ran into the room.] [Draco's turn] * RowynSleepyn has joined #rsp * Dreol has left #RSP (... Jawsome.) * Fanfan can't help whistling in appreciation. * John grins. *ting!* * Millie has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) ( Millie pings out and misses it. ) [Draco runs at Jan, laughing. "Yes! I love this feeling! The adrenaline! More blood must be shed!" He dashes around the chair and swings at her. She ducks, and the sword cuts the hapless chair in half. But then he brings his sword over head. The blade glows blue and leaves a glittering trail behind as he slashes downwards, cutting her leg. "Freezebite!" The weapon leaves a chunk of ice around the wound it creates.] ( That get through? ) [Fanfan] (Yup!) * Fanfan dashes forward, unsheathing her swords, and slashes out at the nearest two goons she encounters. (damn it...) (There we go. ) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Fanfan (2d6-2) and gets 8. (Whiff by one) ( You get two rolls :P ) (Right, I knew that. <.<) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Fanfan (2d6-2) and gets 6. (Make by one. ^^;) [One of the goons backs away in time to avoid the attack, but the other was priorly injured, and a cut across his belly takes him down for good.] ( How many goons are left? ) [Greebo] ( 8 ) (Shit, man.) ( That's how many of you guys there are, if you count Jan's crew. >.> ) (Huh, point) (If.) ( That and you guys don't seem to like it when I just have one big powerful baddie, so there's a buncha goons too :P ) * Tairan has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer ) (Goons. Hired goons) * RowynSleepyn is now known as Millie (Oh, great, now we have both. ;-;) [Greebo... frowns. He looks down at his shotgun, then just charges the nearest goon, swinging the thing at his head.] * Tairan has joined #RSP ( re ) ( If this were MC, it would just be Draco with about 2000 hp ^^ ) ( Last I saw was Brett explaining the large number of goons ) (I like goons. ^^) [Greebo clubs the guy. and down he goes!] [Ellie] (Correction for the log: Greebo uses a rifle.) (Not a shotgun?) (Goons enable us to make the distinction between the badassian and the non-badassian) (Not a shotgun.) (Though I'll note that shotgun should be reloaded after every use.) (Anyway.)\ [Ellie starts chanting as she points a palm towards a goon. But the injury in her shoulder causes her to grimace, which causes her to mispronounce a sylable. As a result, an electric flash dances around her hand briefly. She screams and clutches it.] [Millie's turn] ( Ooh, critfail ) (Ouch.) (Zat's why Fanfan sticks to swords. Worst that happens, she cuts her own head off.) (Wait, that's not really much of a plus, is it? ^^) ( Tairan shot himself in the foot once. Literally ) * Jinx gasps to see Ellie hurt... wait, no, doesn't care. (Yeah, but it didn't fall off.) * Millie glances at John and company as they come in. "Glad y'all decided to join us.." She eyes Crazy and cocks her rifle, swiveling it towards Draco and sighting a shot down the barrel. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Millie (2d6-3) and gets 0. [A beam of light grazes Draco's back. He turns towards Millie and grins widely.] Welcome. They still wanted to stay. *shrug* [Tairan's turn] ( Can I get at Draco, or is he blocked by a wall o' Goons? ) Buncha goons ( () ) ( Gotcha. ) * Tairan charges into the group of goons, blasting at one of the injured ones to cover his advance and then slashing at him with his katana. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Tairan (2d6-3) and gets 7. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Tairan (2d6-2) and gets 8. ( ... made the shot, not the slash ) [Tairan shoots the guy, causing him to stagger too far back to slash.] ( Figured. I wait all that time to roll, and I roll two 10s. My dicehate is MIGHTY! ) [Buncha goons] ( Aww, the shot didn't finish off one of the injured ones? Shucks. ) ( Well, SOMEONE's getting hit <.< ) d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Brett (d8) and gets 1. ( Oh no! It's gonna hit Ard! ) (OH NOES!) ( But I'm the GM! That's what Dicey rolled. Take 50 damage. Ow. ;_; Now I only have infinity left! ) * RowynSleepyn has joined #rsp (Fortunatly Ard is a GM and has an infinite number of HP... unless it takes a called shot to her head and then crits.) (Infinity MINUS 50.) ( Which equals infinity ) (But somehow a lesser infinity) [The goons fire! A bullet ricochets on the ground by Ellie in a near miss, and the goon Fanfan slashed at takes a wild shot at her, also missing. Greebo takes a bullet in the leg, and one of the goons gets lucky and shoots John in the gut. Millie and Tairan need defense rolls] * Millie has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Tairan (2d6-2) and gets 2. ( Made ) [The goon Tairan shot tries to return the favor, thinking Tairan is too close to dodge. But Tairan deflects the bullet with his sword.] [Another goon fires at Millie, and things begin to happen in slow motion.] 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for RowynSleepyn (2d6-2) and gets 4. * RowynSleepyn is now known as Millie [Sloooooooooooooooow..... mmmmmoooooooooooot ohnevermindherewego (zomg! He shot a magic Matrix bullet!) (ZOMG!) [Millie dodges, Matrix style.] [Jan's turn] (He had to wait for the next Haya...er Millie to be delivered) ( We're gonna need another Millie! o/~ ) ( Sorry man! We're all out of Millies! ) (We are?) ( Extra ones, y eah. ) [Jan turns her grimace to a grin as Draco gets distracted by Millie. She moves her left gun, looking down and aiming with a careful shot, shattering enough of the ice that she tears her bloody leg free, backing even further away and around a table. She aims her right gun carefully, getting Draco in her sights.] ["You're takin' yer eye off the prize," she smirks as she pulls the trigger. The room shakes, and a somehow loud yet muffled rumbling is heard.] [Draco takes the bullet in the hand.] [John's turn] ( Hail to the queen, baby. ) * John winces and staggers back from his wound. He takes his sights to the goon that shot him and fires a pair of bullets at him, one from each gun. 2 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for John (2 2d6-2) and gets 8 6. (Made 1.) [John blasts the goon in the leg. He staggers a bit but is still up.] [Jinx's turn] * Jinx drops his pistol and reloads his shotgun while concentrating on Jan's fight. (That's all) [Draco smiles to Jan. "All I'm interested in is seeing blood. Yours," He slashes at Jan, who manages to roll out of the way. Draco brings his blade up and thrusts it into the ground, staring at Millie. "And hers!"] 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Millie (2d6-2) and gets 7. (Actually it'd be -1. So more miss) [Millie feels a biting pain in her calf. Looking down, she spots the blade of Draco's sword coming from the ground. It retreats back into the floor as he pulls the sword up.] [Fanfan's turn] (Dude. Badass sword.) (How...gruesomely phallic.) ( Mine's cooler. ) * Fanfan slashes at the next nearest two goons. 2 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Fanfan (2 2d6-2) and gets 2 1. (Makey makey!) * Millie winces and staggers back, scowling at Draco, the barrel of her rifle dipping a bit. "Nice trick." [Fanfan seriously injures one goon, and defeats the other.] (GEEFEATED! XD) [Greebo's turn] ( How many goons yet? ) ( er, left? ) [Greebo keeps frowning. He looks put out, and he wades through the combat, bringing his rifle down for another uninjured goon's head.] ( 6 counting the tangled one ) [Greebo clocks him upside the head.] (All injured or tangled except for the one t hat Greebo's about to injure?) [Ellie] ( One other uninjured ) ('k.) [Jan rolls away from Draco's sword. "Fuck," she says quietly before raising her voice. "Ellie! Get going!"] [Ellie stares at Jan, but she doesn't hesitate to run for a door on the far end of the dining hall.] [Millie's turn] * RowynSleepyn has joined #rsp [Millie's turn] * Millie has quit IRC (SVSKilled: GHOST command used by RowynSleepyn ) * RowynSleepyn glares at Draco. "You want blood huh?" She raises the rifle barrel again straight at his face. "Fry, boy." (Called shot) (And...uh...Millie does that) 2d6+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for RowynSleepyn (2d6+1) and gets 12. (Hah. Even DE wouldn't have saved me there. :/) * RowynSleepyn is now known as Millie [Millie aims a bit too high, and only manages to hit a poor window.] [Tairan's turn] ( Still blocked from Draco? ) ( Not now ) ( And is there an isolated-enough group of 3 goons for me to use my special attack? ) ( Hmm.... Not really at this point ^^; ) ( Okie. ) * Tairan charges through the goons, slashing at Draco as he runs by, then turning and firing at him as he leaps out of melee. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Tairan (2d6-2) and gets 5. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Tairan (2d6-3) and gets 7. ( Made both ) [Tairan steals Jan's thunder by taking out her opponent for her. Draco falls to the ground, bleeding and laughing. "So much blood. It's.... beautiful..."] ( Yay, Tairan! :D) (This is almost becoming a running gag in RSP. Everyone dies to someone who isn't in the duel.) [But since this isn't a cheesy videogame, the goons don't vanish when the boss dies.] [And the tangled goon is, with Ellie's departure, no longer tangled] (Or with the grudge. Akira to Fanfan, Sakura by being punked (but not by Eri), Draco by Tairan...) [The goons fire! One shoots at John, and misses. Greebo picks up a small table and uses it to deflect a bullet aimed for him. Tairan, Millie, Jinx, and Fanfan need defense rolls.] 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jinx (2d6) and gets 7. (Jinx gets hits again) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Millie (2d6-2) and gets 10, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "Don't blame me. Blame yourself, or God." (...ow) (That might hurt. I want deflect bullets with furnniture, though.) (I forgot how deadly RSP combat is. ... For everybody!) (Time for a new Millie, this one's got a hole in her.) (waitajer;oiht) (This is ranged?) (Yes.) ( Yes ) 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Fanfan (2d6-1) and gets 4. (make>) (By one.) ( Waitin' on Tairan ) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Tairan (2d6-2) and gets 3. ( Made ) ( Sorry, bathroom ) (That was me too. ^^) ( ... what, were you hiding behind the sink? You sicko! ) (:P) [Tairan dives out of the way as a goon opens fire on him. Fanfan also avoids getting shot with a skillful backflip. Jinx is less fortunate, though, taking a bullet in the arm. And Millie is so dumbfounded at how she missed after tossing out a witty line that she totally doesn't notice the guy firing at her until it's too late, and takes a bullet in the stomach.] (Damn witty remarks.) [Jan] ( Dicey has no sense of dramatic timing. ) (I <3 acro.) (Even though that didn't factor into the roll. XD) ( acro lets you look cool :D ) (Yesh! 8D) [Jan gets back to her feet and winces slightly, but she raises both guns and fires, aiming at the gunhands of two goons.] [Said goons suddenly find themselves unable to hold their guns.] [John's turn] * John takes aim and shoots to disable the one goon that hit him before. Depending on the outcome, he'll probably fire at the one he worked on before to disable him, too. (Both called.) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for John (2d6-2) and gets 0, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "That was close. One cycle later and you'd have fit nicely into a sandwich." 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for John (2d6-2) and gets 1. [Uh... consider him disabled.] (Snerk.) [John blows a hole in the other guy, too.] (What's the remaining goon count?) [Jinx's turn] ( 4, one uninjured ) (John just removed the goons spine with a bullet, shined it up like his teeth and handed it back. @_@) (XD) * Jinx levels his shotgun in the general direction of the remaining goons. He scowls with pain from the second shot he tooks but keeps an even tone as he says "Yield or die." No real sign he cares which they pick. (Readied action, they do anything hostile, he shoots) (And want an intimidate check?) ( Sure ) 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jinx (2d6-3) and gets 6. (Hmm...) (dr4) 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jinx (2d6-3) and gets 2. (Make) (XD) (Jinx, you're absolutely no fun at all. ):) [Fanfan's turn] (Do they show signs of yielding?) (He's trying to impress the woman that's not killing people. ;P) ( They look like they're thinking about it. ) (Aww, how sweet!) (...you mean Ellie? :P ) (HA.) (Well, not killing goons) (Hahaha.) (Jinx puts value on human life. It might just help him in bed with Jan. And if that's not valuable he doesn't know what is.) (I'm sure Jinx wouldn't turn down the chance to sleep with Ellie. :P) (He just might. He does not like that girl.) * Fanfan swings her swords around into an intimidating pose and eyes the goons threateningly. "We will not give you another chance." ( Anyone going to attack? ) (I'm sure he wouldn't turn down a chance to sleep with any girl... ore sometimese even man, depeneding. :P) (Do I roll an intimidation too? <.<_) ( Only if you want to ^^ ) ( I will! I've never rolled intimidation before! :D) (Hey, he has some standards.) (Does this count under duel, then? >.>) ( No, it's not a duel :P ) (Anyways Ellie would probably turn out to be needy and then go whining to daddy and get a bounty put on his head.) (Oh well. ^^) ( If they don't surrender, I'll attack. I hold human life at very low value! ) (She could be his sugar mommy too!) 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Fanfan (2d6-1) and gets 7. ( Ok, anyone going to attack? ) (That's under, what, soul?) ( Yes ) (Not unless they attack first) ( Nah. Held action until they respond. ) (Then whiff by two, and what Millie said. ) (Fanfan's soul is inferior!) ( Just like my boobies! *sniff* ) [Two of the goons throw down their weapons and limp off. The others prepare to fire, yelling, "Idiots! If you run away, the boss will have you killed!"] * Jinx fires at the remaining two. Go readied actions! 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jinx (2d6-4) and gets 2. (hit) [Jinx hits! They're hurt but still up.] [Fanfan, go!] * Fanfan dashes and slashes at the non-cowards. 2 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Fanfan (2 2d6-2) and gets 1 8. (Hit one, miss the other by 1.) [Fanfan drives a sword into one, bringing him down. But the other steps back out of range.] [Greebo!] [Greebo lumbers up to the guy, and with a total lack of fanfare, clocks him over the head with a big, meaty fist.] ( *sigh* Some muthafsckers are always trying to iceskate uphill... [/3 pts] ) [The FF victory music plays as he goes down.] (Yaaaaay!) (Do we get exp?) (or AP?) ( You get 196 exp! ) (Whoo) (Woot! Level 5!) ( Too bad you can't use it for anything in this game. ) * Tairan looks around, then down at the fallen Draco. "Want a new sword, Fanfan?" A what? * Tairan points down at Draco's sword with his own. "New sword. It's magic." [Jan smiles a little, and she holsters her pistols before making her way around the table. Slowly. There's a slight limp to her walk.] A--sword? Oh. That sword. [There's a loud cry from the front door.] * Fanfan is very articulate! XD * Millie keeps her rifle up until she's sure he's down then lowers it. She tries to look cool about it, but ends up wincing and clutching the wound in her stomach. "...ow." * Jinx sighs and lets his arms hang low. "So, wanna get dinner some time? Damn..." Jinx looks to the door. [Greebo watches the sword talk, then shrugs to himself and reloads his rifle. He looks up in the direction of the cry. "Huh."] * Fanfan glances in the direction of the yell. "Ahh...perhaps later." [There's a goon at the door! He's aiming a rifle at you all, but... strangely, doesn't seem to be moving, and has this horrid expression on his face.] ( Okay, who farted! ) * Fanfan backs away from weird guy slowly. * Millie glances at the yell. "Great..that's probably Ell--" She then looks at the goon steadily. * Jinx reloads his shotgun with an annoyed look. * John spins around to look at the door, pistols in his hands. * Tairan brings his pistol around, and eyes the rifle-toting guy waring. "The hell?" [Kojiro steps out from behind the goon, slipping his sword back into its sheathe. No sooner does he do so, than the goon falls to the ground, blood spraying everywhere except, oddly enough, in Kojiro's direction.] Well, damn. It's a reunion. ...Kojiro-san! [Jan draws her pistol and aims it at the guy, limp or not. Then Kojiro steps around, and she relaxes slightly. "What *took* you so long?"] * John neatly steps back, the blood spraying just where he was a moment ago. * Tairan lowers his pistol. * Fanfan , having backed away, was m ost likely not in range of teh blood, unless it was SUPER JET BLOOD. [Kojiro steps into the room. "I came as quickly as I could. Are you alright?" He stops and looks around, glaincing you over. "Ahh. It's you again." ] * Jinx finishes reloading his shotgun and keeps it low. "He knew you were coming. Laid a trap. We were going to warn you but you magicked your way past us." * John gets to avoid the blood because he's just that badass. Well, actually, not really. He just looks that badass. Yeah. It's a damned party and everyone's invited. What the hell. * Tairan walks over to Draco's corpse, takes his sword, and stuffs it into his pack for later examination/distribution. He then glances over at Jinx, then back at Draco, and commences with the corpse looting. (Smart man.) [Kojiro looks apologetically at Jan. "There was some resistance outside as well. It seems we are not the only ones here tonight." He glances around. "Where is Eleanor?"] Got me. What's the story? [Jan snerks, and she lowers her gun, too. "Yeah, I'm fine, except for people rising from the dead, explosions everywhere, and some psychopath screaming about blood and slicing me up something nasty. Same as usual." Greebo shrugs.] * Jinx gives Kojiro a seriously aggrevated look. * Tairan calls out as he loots. "You shot him in the head. Missed anything vital." [Jan shakes her head. "Sent her to check out the explosion. We were busy here." She looks to the others. "Thanks, by the way." Her gaze fixes on Jinx. "And nice shot."] [Kojiro glances at you lot, and back at Jan. "You... know each other?"] We've met. [Jan *laughs*. She points at Jinx. "Know? I fucking killed him."] * Millie eyes Jan steadily without making a word. Not a word. [Kojiro glances at Jinx, and gives Jan a perplexed look.] * Tairan loots very slowly, apparently. Or is it carefully? Or is he just taking 20 on his search roll? Indeed, not many can make that claim. As far as I know, at any rate. ["Shot him in the head," Jan continues. "Was aimin' for his gun, but it sorta bounced off. Crazy stuff. No idea why he's standing, but hell, if he's decided to be my guardian angel or whatever, I've gotta go kill more Injuns."] d500+100 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Tairan (d500+100) and gets 569. ( w00t ) (Ooh, nice!) * Jinx looks to Jan with a smile. "Well.. That sort of thing happens in our profession. Wouldn't hold it against someone as attractive as you are." [Kojiro frowns. "I'd love to hear the story, but there isn't much time right now."] * John rolls his eyes and walks down to check the area for loot. Always a good idea. ( Oooh, Jinx is layin' on the SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTH. ) * Tairan pulls a wad of bills from Draco's pocket. "Guy was loaded. Maybe now I we can afford a few healing potions, even at Crazy prices." [Jan winks. "Thanks." And she nods to Kojiro, making her way for the far door with her slight limp. She ignores the looting. Some bandit.] Oh, good. (Is Jinx gonna, y'know, follow Jan?) Really now. * Millie glances at Jan. "Y'know, I don't think we're quite done with you." [Kojiro walks swiftly to catch up with Jan, saying to you as he goes, "Though I know not why you are here, rest assured I appreciate the assistance. Perhaps we'll meet again sometime." * Fanfan narrows her eyes. [Greebo stretches, then lumbers after Jan. He doesn't respond to Millie. Maybe because it wasn't addressed at him!] * John nudges Tairan. "We should see about the tablet." * Jinx heads towards the to the door. "Any chance we could talk you into telling us what's going on?" He then grins. "Or maybe dinner. I hear I can afford somewhere nice now." * Tairan nods, and follows Jinx, Jan et al out. [Kojiro sideglances at Jinx. He doesn't say anything, he just glances.] * Millie sighs and follows like a lemming. People these days. [Jan doesn't seem put out, limping along. "Can ya now? I might take ya up on it, but I hear dealin' with the dead brings about trouble." She looks to Jinx, curiously. "Why *did* y'all come to help, anyway?"] * Fanfan looks around, then slinks along after. [Kojiro leans next to Jan. "Please, use my shoulder."] ( I'll show him! I'll make him jealous by going on a date with... *eyes Tairan; then John; then Fanfan; sighs* Hey, Greebo. You doin' anything later? ... ) * John twirls his pistols and holsters them. "He ain't dead anymore." He takes the sword up, if nobody's taken it yet, and follows. A good weapon's always handy if you can't re-load. AND it's magical. * Fanfan twitches an eyebrow at that and pouts a very, very tiny pout. <.< [Jan laughs. "Crazy Shomurans," she says, and it's fairly affectionate. She accepts Kojiro's help, walking a little more smoothly.] Well for one, we saw Izu and what he did there. Second, I'm actually alive, pulse and everything. ::He gestures to one of his arm wounds:: Undead don't tend to bleed. ( Amusingly enough, "It's Raining Men" just came on.) (I have Chemical Plant music going on. ^^) ["Yeah?" Jan says. "Neat trick. Maybe you can show me how it works sometime."] * Millie finishes limping forward. She lets Jinx do the talking. But her expression definitely shows an effort of will to keep from interrupting/complaining/being snide. * Tairan has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [End Here!]
