[Lupin]

[20:00:05] * Cat nods.
[20:00:08] <Ralith> "Lupin, you'll be looking like some kind of dog lover with the both of us."
[20:00:13] * Ralith gives him a grin and shifts.
[20:01:06] <Lupin> "Wouldn't be the first time."
[20:01:16] * Cat shifts.
[20:01:29] <Lupin> (Heh, I finished shifting, then I shifed the car.)
[20:01:41] <Ralith> (good time to pause and/or cut the game, I think, as you've got noone left to talk to.)
[20:01:41] <Lupin> (shifted*)
[20:02:16] <Ralith> (k?)
[20:02:37] <Lupin> (Great, as I'm eating now.)
[20:02:54] <Cat> (hah..good point..that will be one boing car ride)
[20:04:38] * Ralith sticks his head out the convinently open window, squinting against the wind and enjoying the feel of it through his fur.
[20:05:34] * Cat grins and sticks her head out the other window.
[20:05:35] <A627> (gah phone)
[20:06:00] <Lupin> "I'm going to have to try that sometime.
[20:06:53] <Lupin> "
[20:07:38] <Ralith> (A627, are you going to let us get away with an uneventful trip?)
[20:08:12] <Lupin> (I think Baph's sill on the phone.)
[20:08:39] <Ralith> (bah.)
[20:08:46] <A627> New Town comes.
[20:08:49] <A627> New Town Goes.

[20:12:21] <A627> lol
[20:12:26] * A627 is off the phone.
[20:12:35] * A627 estimates about where you run out of gas.
[20:13:44] <A627> You drive for about an hour, and State 23 turns into a T intersection.
[20:13:45] <A627> <<< >>>
[20:13:45] * Ralith noses the map compartment

[20:13:51] <A627> (hehe)
[20:13:52] * Ralith continues looking at Lupin
[20:13:59] <Ralith> (paws, genius )
[20:14:12] * A627 curls up in the back.
[20:14:31] <Lupin> (Controling a vehicle trumps paws.)
[20:14:48] <Ralith> (we stopped at an intersection, remember?)
[20:14:53] <Ralith> (what form is A627 in?)
[20:15:01] <A627> (Yeah... you can't exactly go forward.
[20:15:04] <A627> ))
[20:15:11] <Lupin> (Human, I think.)
[20:15:21] <A627> (Wolf)
[20:15:25] <Ralith> (:/)
[20:15:30] <Ralith> (oh well)
[20:15:32] <Lupin> (:/)
[20:15:34] <Ralith> (it'll do.)
[20:15:42] <Ralith> (you're one hell of a dog lover, Lupin)
[20:15:43] <A627> You. Are. Stopped.
[20:15:58] <Cat> (bbl dinner with the family)
[20:16:07] <A627> (cya)
[20:16:07] * Ralith grips the map of north dakota in his mouth gently and drops it in Lupin's lap
[20:16:09] * Lupin pulls out the map and looks at it.
[20:16:19] <A627> Roll mapreading
[20:16:35] <Lupin> !d20+9 mapreading
[20:16:35] <Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 + 9 for a total of 13 mapreading
[20:16:39] <Lupin> (:/)
[20:16:47] <A627> Lake Stevens is South.
[20:16:51] <A627> Chicago is South.
[20:16:57] <A627> South is Good(tm)
[20:17:02] <A627> Good Southern Hospitality.
[20:17:13] * Lupin turns toward Lake Stevens.
[20:17:35] * Lupin checks the fuel gauge.
[20:17:38] <A627> You see a sign, I94 70 miles
[20:17:49] <A627> The fuel guage is at 7/8 or so
[20:17:58] <Ralith> (full or empty?)
[20:18:07] <A627> (don't ask that... Full)
[20:18:27] <A627> You pass over Lake Stevens, and drive through a handful of small towns.
[20:18:40] <A627> You're about 3/4 tank when you reach I94
[20:19:04] <Lupin> "This is going to be a very boring trip, with no-one to talk to."
[20:19:22] <A627> I94 East to "Fargo"
[20:19:29] <A627> (just had to throw that in there)
[20:19:34] * Ralith gives a lupine shrug and sticks his head out the window again
[20:19:38] <A627> Traffic is light.
[20:20:00] <A627> Speed limit 70;
[20:20:09] <A627> Time flies. Cars roll. Wind blows in Ralith's hair.
[20:20:14] <Lupin> (Fur.)
[20:20:15] * A627 sleeps.
[20:20:17] <Ralith> (fur)
[20:20:18] <A627> (ack)
[20:20:48] <A627> (Dog = hair / / Wolf = fur. Gah)
[20:21:09] * Ralith is enjoying sampling smells at 55mph
[20:21:14] * Lupin adjsts his clothing.
[20:21:28] <A627> The freeway is flat. Straight. Boring.
[20:21:34] <A627> An hour passes, you pass through Fargo.
[20:21:46] <A627> Other drivers occasionally look into your car and all the dogs in int.
[20:21:49] <A627> *it
[20:22:08] * Ralith occasionally looks into other cars and all the humans in them
[20:22:27] * Lupin tries sticking his head out the window like Ralith and Cat.
[20:22:28] <A627> You pass a sign. Minneapolis 245
[20:22:41] <Ralith> (* Lupin is whapped hard by the sign)
[20:22:55] <A627> (lol)
[20:23:05] <A627> (Lupin Dodge Sign!)
[20:23:05] <A627> (;p)
[20:23:11] <Lupin> (Heh. But it would be you geting whapped )
[20:23:21] <Ralith> (bah.)
[20:23:32] <Ralith> (I've had my head out this time and was watching for a sign
[20:23:35] <A627> You smell exhaust. You smell other cars. You smell road. You smell cows.
[20:23:38] <Lupin> (My head is sticking out in the middle of the road.)
[20:23:51] <Ralith> (* Lupin's head is whapped by another car)
[20:24:17] <A627> Dairy land goes from here to oHio
[20:24:23] <A627> *oHIo
[20:24:46] <A627> Hours pass.
[20:25:01] * Lupin checks the fuel gauge.
[20:25:12] * Cat sleeps.
[20:25:20] <A627> You pass another sign. Minneapolis (well there were really a lot more signs... but I'm not playing with them). 3/8 of a tank are left. 96 miles to Minneapolis.
[20:25:28] <A627> Welcome to Minnesota
[20:25:41] <A627> (you crossed into MN awhile ago...)
[20:25:51] * Lupin looks for a place to refill.
[20:25:52] <Cat> (yay! my home state!)
[20:26:41] <Ralith> (Are you into sports, Cat?)
[20:26:42] <A627> there is a little town you're passing...
[20:27:06] <A627> Monticello, MN
[20:27:41] <A627> Monticello 1 Mile
[20:27:41] <Cat> (depends on the sport)
[20:27:41] <Ralith> (football?)
[20:27:41] <Ralith> (I'm thinking you might be at our game )
[20:27:52] <Lupin> (Oh yes, logs. I got distracted closing firefox.)
[20:28:33] <Cat> (huh?)
[20:30:15] <Ralith> (Cat, would you be at this game we're revealing ourselves at?)
[20:30:32] <Cat> (haha)
[20:31:06] <A627> (hehe)
[20:31:26] <A627> Monticello Exit 1/4 mile. An exit lane appears to the right.
[20:31:32] <Ralith> (Seriously, would you be?)
[20:31:57] * Lupin switches to the exit lane, and pulls off the freeway
[20:32:23] <A627> There is a gas station. BP.
[20:32:34] * A627 assumes that you get gas and get stuff.
[20:32:37] <Lupin> (Yay, BP!)
[20:32:48] <A627> (anything special you need to do?)
[20:32:55] <Ralith> (come on, no detail?)
[20:33:00] <A627> (The gas station has kibble in stock)
[20:33:09] <Ralith> (can't we get some odd looks and questioning of Lupin about the dogs?)
[20:33:16] <A627> (Sure.)
[20:33:57] <Cat> . (yah..actually. the Vikings Packers game is huge there.)
[20:33:58] <A627> As you pull into the station, A62seven wakes up and wuffs softly, trying to get access to a window. Other drivers gawk at the carfull of 'dogs'
[20:34:28] * Lupin ignores the other drivers.
[20:34:50] <A627> A balding man at the pump ahead of you exlaims "You've got a lot of dogs! Go hunting much?"
[20:35:07] * Ralith nods, just to screw with him
[20:35:10] * Lupin selects "premium" and starts fueling.
[20:35:21] <Lupin> "A fair bit, actually."
[20:35:52] <A627> (how truthful you are)
[20:36:17] <A627> The pump kicks into motion. A stupid 'welcome to BP' message plays over a little speaker by your head.
[20:36:21] <Lupin> (No reason to lie yet )
[20:36:42] <A627> (if he only knew the half of it.... too bad Aki isn't here.)
[20:37:09] <Ralith> (hehe)
[20:37:12] <A627> The pump finishes it's work, reading 12.612 gallons for a grand total of $30.71
[20:37:17] <Ralith> (that /was/ fun)
[20:37:28] <Lupin> (That wasn't hunting, that was scrwing with him.)
[20:37:51] * Lupin takes $40 from the car, and goes inside to pay.
[20:37:58] <Ralith> (tht ws scrwng wth hm.)
[20:38:01] <A627> Inside the gas station, it's about the norm.
[20:38:19] <A627> Kibbles n Bits bags are next to the Candy Bars which are next to the Beer and the Cashier register.
[20:38:31] <A627> There is a small line at the cashier register.
[20:38:36] <A627> !% Something Stupid
[20:38:36] <Lycaon> A627 rolled 72%: Something Stupid
[20:38:42] <A627> ://
[20:38:59] * Lupin grins a bit as he grabs a coke and notices the kibble.
[20:39:36] <Lupin> "Nah, I'd never hear the end of it from them."
[20:39:38] <A627> The first person in line, a real scraggly lookin feller, stamps his foot. "You call this change?"
[20:40:17] <A627> "Yes." The older cashier says pointedly. I gave you correct change."
[20:40:35] <Lupin> ("no, I call that money. I call this change." *shifts to gestalt*)
[20:40:38] <A627> The scraggely man looks so because he hasn't shaved in several days.
[20:40:50] <A627> (do it! do it! j/k)
[20:41:00] <Ralith> (bwahahaha)
[20:41:17] <Ralith> (I'd love to see the chaos that'd cause, but we'll have plenty of that at the game.)
[20:41:53] <A627> The scraggely man shouts "I'll give ya some change you fscker!" He pulls out a pistol, aiming it at the cashier. "Everybody down! Gimmie yer money motherfsckers!"
[20:42:13] <A627> The other customers get down obediently.
[20:42:31] <A627> The scraggely man looks at Lupin, who is holding a coke. "Get down or I'll shoot!"
[20:42:41] * Lupin drops.
[20:43:16] <Lupin> (sorry, I'm in the middle of posting logs.)
[20:43:20] <A627> The cashier backs up, arms up. "You know the register only has $50 or less right?"
[20:43:21] <Ralith> (you'd better not lose our $400.)
[20:43:31] <Lupin> (I only have $40.)
[20:43:33] <A627> "Yeah! Now gimmie the money!"
[20:43:49] <Ralith> (even so, are you gonna let him get away with this? )
[20:43:50] <A627> The robber puts down a $20 on the counter. "This stuff!"
[20:43:50] <Lupin> (Rest is in the car, so you better not lose the $360.)
[20:44:04] <Ralith> (*shows teeth* don't worry )
[20:44:18] <A627> The cashier opens the drawer and pulls out a wad of bills and hurridly hands it to the robber.
[20:44:42] <A627> The robber grabs the money, leaving the $20 on the counter, and runs out of the store, tucking his gun in his pants on his way out.
[20:45:00] <A627> The cashier hits the button.
[20:45:14] <A627> The robber hops into a car and speeds off.
[20:45:27] <A627> The customers start to stand up.
[20:45:45] <A627> The cashier looks at the $20 and laughs.
[20:45:53] * Cat looks curiously off in the direction of the departing vehicle.
[20:45:56] * Lupin stands up "Maybe we're just a chaos magnet."
[20:46:33] <Ralith> (you said that out loud in the middle of the store )
[20:46:39] <A627> The cashier answers. "If so, then it's my lucky day. That rat bastard took $12 but left a $20." You can hear the sirens of the Monticello PD.
[20:47:14] <A627> "Some people are just too stupid. What pump were you on?"
[20:47:20] * Lupin laughs wealkly "$8 profit."
[20:47:36] * Lupin points "Uh that one, the car with all the dogs."
[20:47:59] <A627> "Ok. $30.71 please."
[20:48:10] <Lupin> "And with the soda?"
[20:48:21] <A627> $31.80
[20:48:39] <A627> Nevermind... you can have the soda on the house.
[20:48:51] <Lupin> "Thanks."
[20:48:52] <A627> "We just got $8 from a robber."
[20:49:02] <A627> "30.71"
[20:49:02] <Ralith> (hehe)
[20:49:04] <Lupin> (What were the bills from the pawn shop in?)
[20:49:14] <A627> (20s I think)
[20:49:38] * Lupin hands the cashier the two $20's.
[20:49:57] <Lupin> (We're going to have a problem here...)
[20:50:13] <A627> The cashier grabs a roll of quarters, takes three, and hands you the rest.
[20:50:18] <A627> "Go gambling or something."
[20:50:34] * Lupin takes the rolls of quarters. "Thanks."
[20:50:36] <A627> "Unless your dogs need food or something."
[20:50:44] <Lupin> "Why?"
[20:51:01] * Lupin stops.
[20:51:48] <A627> The cashier looks askance... "Those are Montana plates on your car. You're obviouly on a long trip."
[20:52:04] <A627> The man leans forward. "Have you been feeding them? No wonder they're so quiet."
[20:52:37] <Lupin> "Actually they tend to complain more when I don't feed them."
[20:52:52] <A627> "Ah. Well, have a safe trip."
[20:53:30] <Lupin> "Eh, I better get a bag anyway. Who knows where we'll have to stop next."
[20:54:05] <A627> "Sure thing. I'll just take a few of them quarters back."
[20:54:34] * Lupin grabs a bag "Sure, how many."
[20:54:59] <A627> "20. The bag is $4.99 You won't miss a penny will ya?"
[20:55:19] <Lupin> "Nah"
[20:55:22] <A627> The Monticello PD drives by lights flaring.
[20:55:34] * Ralith 's ears flatten
[20:55:35] * Lupin counts out $5 in quarters before leaving the store.
[20:55:59] <A627> The door closes behind you, a cop cruiser with lights on pulls up, and runs into the store.
[20:56:18] <Lupin> (Wow. I gout out of there just in time!)
[20:56:35] <Lupin> (First a robbery, and then a car running into the store.)
[20:56:40] <Ralith> (a cop cruiser runs into the store?)
[20:56:42] <Ralith> (heheh)
[20:56:56] <A627> (lol)
[20:57:11] <A627> (that's not what that was meant for... ok. Cop car parks. Cop gets out... etc etc)
[20:57:45] <A627> >.<
[20:57:50] * Lupin gets into the car, "Yeah, I know, this isn't real food."
[20:58:08] * A627 looks at the food, ears going ^-<
[20:58:15] <A627> *^->
[20:59:39] * Lupin starts the car up, puts it into gear, and drives out of the gas station.
[20:59:52] * Lupin looks at his watch.
[20:59:55] * A627 sniffs at the bag

[Lupin]

[21:00:08] <A627> It is now 1:42 pm
[21:00:25] * Ralith gives the bag a disgusted look
[21:00:31] * Ralith gives Lupin an accusatory look.
[21:00:37] * Cat yawns and blinks lazily.
[21:00:44] <Lupin> "What. They were asking questions."
[21:00:59] * A627 looks at Ralith and paws at the bag, making a small hole and sniffing a lot.
[21:01:14] <Lupin> "And the only way we're taking down food you like is if I hit something with the car."
[21:01:33] * Ralith sighs.
[21:01:55] * Cat has quit (Connection reset by peer)
[21:02:00] * A627 paws out a single kibble, and pops it in his mouth... crunching experimentally.
[21:02:25] <A627> A look of bonefied horror crosses A627's face as he tries to keep eating it.
[21:02:26] <A627> !phone
[21:02:26] * Lycaon shouts to get everyone's attention, "A627's phone is ringing!"
[21:02:31] <Ralith> (grr)
[21:02:33] <Lupin> "Just wait until I get to a stoplight, and I'll open the bag properly."
[21:04:03] * Cat (~chatzilla@*.dsl.sntc01.pacbell.net) has joined #paradice2
[21:04:16] <Ralith> (wb)
[21:04:24] <Cat> (heh..death)
[21:04:27] <Ralith> (A robber just donated $8 to a store, and Lupin got us dog food)
[21:04:34] <Lupin> (Hehe)
[21:06:17] <Cat> (yah..smart move)
[21:09:09] * Lupin opens the bag of kibble while waiting at a stop light.
[21:09:20] * Ralith grimaces as the smell fills the car.
[21:09:34] * Ralith sticks his head out the window and inhales deeply
[21:09:42] * Lupin does too, and opens his window.

[21:11:23] <Sam> (lol)
[21:11:27] <Ralith> (wb )
[21:11:30] <Sam> (I need to catch up)
[21:11:42] <Ralith> (you're human and sitting in the front seat, with me, Cat, and A627 wolves in the back."
[21:11:44] <Ralith> )
[21:11:50] <Ralith> (Lupin's human too.)
[21:12:17] * Cat sighs and sticks her head into the bag, taking a mouthful. She is very hungry.
[21:12:29] * Sam turns to Lupin
[21:12:35] * Ralith won't be /that/ hungry for another day or two.
[21:12:37] <Sam> "We've gotta make good time."
[21:13:20] <Lupin> "Yeah, but I can't exactly speed."
[21:13:30] * Ralith nods
[21:14:01] <Sam> "Yeah, don't wanna get stopped."
[21:14:35] <Lupin> "Plus, this isn't my car, I don't really want to damage it."
[21:15:04] <Sam> "Heh."
[21:15:19] * Cat has quit (Connection reset by peer)
[21:15:54] <Ralith> (:|)
[21:15:58] <Sam> (:/)
[21:16:17] <Sam> "So we got enough gas for a while at least."
[21:16:37] * Sam looks out the back to the others
[21:16:53] <Sam> "I hope we don't hit any large ruts and send any of them flying."
[21:17:25] <Lupin> "Well, I don't know about you, but I plan to be driving on pavement."
[21:17:54] <Sam> "And our plans always work do they?"
[21:18:08] <Ralith> (brb)
[21:19:20] <Lupin> "Well that was the first time I've ever had to buy diesel for a car."
[21:20:02] <Ralith> (back)
[21:20:11] <Lupin> (wb)
[21:20:13] <Sam> (wb)
[21:21:24] <Sam> "You put gasoline in a diesel?"
[21:21:50] <Lupin> "What."
[21:22:27] <Sam> "You said it was a diesel, and you put gas in it? Or some sort of "premium" diesel, like biodiesel?"
[21:23:48] <Sam> "I couldn't see what you were pumping, I just heard something about premium something-or-rather before."
[21:23:52] <Lupin> "Well it certainly wasn't cheap enough to be gas."
[21:24:16] * LoneWolf (~LoneWolf@*.midco.net) has joined #paradice2
[21:24:22] <Sam> "Ah okay. Saving the environment with biodiesel."
[21:24:23] <Ralith> (:D)
[21:24:28] <Sam> (umm...)
[21:24:34] <Ralith> (er
[21:24:35] <Ralith> )
[21:24:35] <Lupin> (?)
[21:24:38] <Ralith> (clones?)
[21:24:40] <Sam> (that's not me)
[21:25:08] <Ralith> (not even in your IP range.)
[21:25:11] <Lupin> "Normally it only takes about $20 for me to put that much gas in my car."
[21:25:12] <Sam> (nope)
[21:25:17] <Ralith> (Cainsie?)
[21:25:21] <Lupin> (Nope.)
[21:25:26] <Sam> (no he's AOL)
[21:25:30] <Ralith> (
[21:25:30] <Ralith> [19:25] --- [LoneWolf] +#psion_guild #paradice2)
[21:26:18] <Sam> "Well, I guess it's good to save the earth if we're gonna be saving the world."
[21:26:20] * Sam winks
[21:26:54] <Lupin> "So any thoughs on what to say when we gatecrash the game?"
[21:27:00] <Ralith> (if you're planning on living feral, then you'd probably do well to keep the wilderness happy )
[21:27:47] * Lupin continues to drive.
[21:27:52] <Sam> "I'm not sure how to get their attention, but I'm sure I can say something about what happened to me once we have their attention."
[21:28:09] * LoneWolf (~LoneWolf@*.midco.net) has left #paradice2
[21:28:14] <Ralith> (o.O)
[21:28:18] <Sam> (poser!)
[21:28:34] <Sam> (There is only one original (tm))
[21:28:47] <Lupin> "Oh we'll be geting their atention just by running onto the field."
[21:29:02] <Lupin> "Shifting is just icing on the cake."
[21:29:36] <Sam> "I just don't know how they'll handle it."
[21:30:32] <Lupin> "Well, I'm sure they're going to be very shocked."
[21:31:41] <Lupin> "Hopfully shocked long enough that you'll be able to talk about this."
[21:31:53] <Sam> "I'm worried about anarchy that will result from a loss of confidence in the government."
[21:32:09] <Sam> "Yeah, we have plenty to talk about."
[21:33:11] <Sam> You know, I'm not sure if I want to tell them my birthname; if I have any surviving family I might endanger them by giving names."
[21:33:49] <Lupin> "Good point."
[21:34:10] * Ralith nods
[21:34:12] <Lupin> "You could always just give them your designation, and say you can't remember your name."
[21:34:34] <Sam> "This is true. A white lie to protect them."
[21:35:27] <Lupin> "You're not technically supposed to be able to remember your name anyway."
[21:35:55] <Sam> "Right."
[21:36:40] <Sam> "I wonder if our being committed to such a program was voluntary."
[21:37:14] <Lupin> "Well, if it was, why would they wipe your memory?"
[21:37:32] <Sam> "That may have been a side effect."
[21:37:54] <Lupin> "That all of you suffered?"
[21:38:01] <Sam> "I don't know the answers, I just really don't like to think that there are people that would do such a thing."
[21:38:05] <Lupin> "And doesn't happen when you get bitten?"
[21:38:16] <Sam> "True."
[21:39:06] <Sam> "For all we know, it could be someone obsessed with replacing the human race with werewolves, and we were his test subjects."
[21:39:49] <Lupin> "That wouldn't be hard."
[21:40:11] <Lupin> "He would just have to infect himself, and become a real generous blood donor."
[21:40:36] <Sam> "Your right. No need to infiltrate the government for that."
[21:40:50] <Sam> "I guess then that leaves something more sinister."
[21:41:43] <Ralith> (dinner)
[21:42:04] <Lupin> (k)
[21:42:19] * A627 (Is a marriage counselor)
[21:42:34] <Lupin> "Sorry, I don't mean to be such a pessimist."
[21:43:57] <Sam> (c ya)
[21:44:13] <Sam> "No, you're probably right."
[21:44:20] <Sam> "Unfortunately."
[21:44:42] <Lupin> "Well in any case, one thing stands: They need to be stopped."
[21:45:49] <Sam> "Yes indeed. I'm not ready for the brave new world they seem to have in store, if there actions so far are any indication."
[21:46:53] <Lupin> "Well, we might just be doing the same thing."
[21:47:29] <Sam> "I suppose time will tell."
[21:48:45] <Lupin> "So, figure out what you're going to say?"
[21:49:06] <Sam> "Sorta."
[21:49:30] <Sam> "I'm sure it'll come together when I'm up there."
[21:50:41] <Sam> "They're gonna know that I was just like them before, and what they did to me."
[21:51:49] <Sam> "The people watching will know that it was their government that did it."
[21:51:52] <Lupin> "Sounds good. Should we spring the secret of the ICBM on them?"
[21:52:09] <Sam> "I don't know. That might cause even more panic."
[21:53:04] <Sam> "Plus, that might accelerate things."
[21:53:08] <Lupin> "Yeah, but we're going to have to do something about that eventually."
[21:54:43] <Sam> "I know... I'm just not sure what to do."
[21:55:06] * Sam 's face has almost a sad look to it.
[21:55:09] <Lupin> "Well, we're all in that boat."
[21:55:20] <Sam> "Yeah, we are."
[21:56:00] * Sam pats Lupin on the shoulder, and then looks out the side window.
[21:56:24] <Ralith> (back)
[21:56:45] <Sam> (wb)
[21:57:03] <Sam> "Mind if I open the rear window to let some air circulate?"
[21:57:16] <Ralith> (it's open, and my head is out it)
[21:57:27] <Sam> (scratch that)
[21:57:30] <Sam> (lol)
[21:58:52] <Lupin> (Heh)
[21:59:13] <Sam> "It is sobering though, knowing on how much is riding on us."
[22:00:28] <Lupin> "I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to say to my parents."
[22:01:25] <Ralith> (well, their lives /did/ depend on it.)
[22:01:33] <Sam> "Well, with the world resting on your shoulders like this, I think they'd be proud."
[22:02:37] <Lupin> "Yeah, but the thing is, they taught me never ever ever to do what we're about to do."
[22:02:59] * Ralith grins
[22:03:07] <Lupin> (In fact, they always used to use bold like that, too.)
[22:03:14] <Sam> "They only wanted you to be safe."
[22:03:17] <Sam> (heh)
[22:03:53] <Lupin> "It's not like we have any other options in this case anyway."
[22:04:08] <Ralith> (Baph on the phone or something?)
[22:04:23] <A627> (sad but true... yes)
[22:04:23] <Lupin> [21:42:19] * A627 (Is a marriage counselor)
[22:05:00] <Sam> "Well, we could sit back and enjoy the fireworks show."
[22:05:20] <Sam> "But, that's not our style apparently. We are part of the fireworks now."
[22:05:37] <Ralith> (if we did that we'd get killed )
[22:05:58] <Lupin> "As if the universe would let us."
[22:06:20] <Lupin> "I walk into a gas station, and someone tries to rob it!"
[22:06:20] <Ralith> (* You hear a pitterpattering noise)
[22:06:26] <Lupin> (Haha)
[22:06:33] <Ralith> (* The universe pies you)
[22:06:33] <Sam> "Ah, its almost as if this were our meaning in life."
[22:06:45] <Sam> (lol)
[22:07:24] <Lupin> "If that indian is any indication, someone sowhere is intrested in us."
[22:07:41] <Sam> "I still don't know what the heck is up with him."
[22:08:01] * Ralith shrugs
[22:08:04] <Sam> "And that pie thing is getting old."
[22:08:25] <Lupin> "Well there's a chance we might never understand."
[22:08:53] * Lupin looks at Ralith in the rear-view mirror.
[22:09:00] <Sam> "I suppose not."
[22:09:08] * Ralith looks at Lupin in the rear-view mirror.
[22:09:16] * Sam turns to look at the others
[22:09:33] <Sam> "How are we all doing back there?"
[22:09:41] <Lupin> (brb)
[22:09:45] <Sam> (k)
[22:10:02] * Ralith sighs and and makes a quiet yerp
[22:10:16] <Sam> (and and...and)
[22:10:18] <Sam> (:P)
[22:10:24] <Ralith> (whoops.)
[22:10:38] * Ralith is a bit annoyed at not being in on the conversation
[22:10:55] <Sam> "Ralith, your life is looking better to me all the time!"
[22:11:05] * Ralith grins widely
[22:12:15] <Sam> "You called Lupin's room a 'cleanroom'...well, I was in those in the literal sense. When this is over we're gonna go somewhere far away from this madness."
[22:12:25] <Sam> "Care to be my roommate?"
[22:12:56] * Ralith nods happily
[22:13:10] <Sam> "Alrighty then. Consider it a done deal."
[22:13:25] * Ralith looks satisfied
[22:13:42] <Lupin> (back)
[22:13:45] <Sam> (wb)
[22:13:48] <Ralith> (wb)
[22:13:57] <Ralith> (*beep A627 beep*)
[22:14:22] * Lupin continues to drive over what seems to be endless, featueless highway.
[22:14:29] <Sam> (heh)
[22:14:33] <Ralith> (driver's hypnosis)
[22:16:17] <Lupin> (Heh)
[22:16:20] <Sam> "How about you Lupin, you gonna go back to your old life when this is said and done?"
[22:17:04] <Ralith> (assuming the US hasn't fallen apart)
[22:17:12] <Ralith> (remember the discussion we had in the copter?)
[22:18:10] <Sam> (I know I'm rehashing... I'm just out of things to discuss )
[22:18:15] <Lupin> "Well, I'm going to try. I'd prefer to have some normalcy."
[22:18:45] <Lupin> "I'll be hanging out with you guys a lot more though."
[22:18:59] * Ralith grins
[22:19:37] <Sam> "Sounds like a plan then."
[22:19:57] <Lupin> "Hopefully these two will go better than our others."
[22:20:24] <Sam> "Yeah. Me too."
[22:20:35] * Ralith looks amused and nods
[22:21:11] <Sam> "Someday, we'll all have such stories to tell the grandpups."
[22:21:18] * Sam winks
[22:21:37] <Ralith> (not with the M:F ratio around here )
[22:21:45] <Lupin> "Hahah..."
[22:22:15] <Lupin> (Well, my parents seemed to find each other, and so did yours )
[22:22:50] <Ralith> (true 'nuff. Just seems like our little corner of the world is a bit selective.)
[22:23:09] <Sam> (this may change)
[22:25:48] <Lupin> "I hope I can get a recording of this after it's all over."
[22:26:21] <A627> (almost done)
[22:26:33] <Ralith> (:D)
[22:27:01] <Sam> "I'm sure you'll have your opportunity."
[22:27:04] <Ralith> (with the kind of news this is, it'll be on TV for months and on the net for decades)
[22:28:45] <Sam> (heh)
[22:29:33] <Lupin> (Oh of course, but I need something to make small talk.)
[22:29:53] <Sam> (yeah)
[22:30:10] * Ralith looks impatiently back out the window
[22:30:11] <Sam> "Remember to ham it up for the cameras."
[22:30:40] * Ralith nods, grinning
[22:30:44] <Sam> "Oh, how I hate long car rides."
[22:30:47] <Lupin> "Oh of course."
[22:30:56] <Ralith> (when baph gets back we should get clothes)
[22:31:06] <Ralith> (and then I'll go human and join in the talk)
[22:31:08] <Lupin> "You remember any?"
[22:31:15] <Sam> (when we eventually find the next town)
[22:31:34] <Sam> "Not specificly of course. I just recall that same feeling."
[22:31:45] <Lupin> "Ahh."
[22:31:56] <A627> In the back seat, you find a travel set of checkers.
[22:31:56] <Ralith> (we've hit a wormhole'd section of highway! D:)
[22:32:20] * Sam picks up the checkers set
[22:32:29] <Sam> "Chess, anyone?"
[22:32:34] <Sam> (err)
[22:32:35] * Ralith gives him an annoyed look
[22:32:43] <Sam> "Checkers I mean."
[22:32:43] * Ralith paws Sam in the face
[22:32:48] <Lupin> "Uh... You don't have anyone to play with."
[22:33:02] <Sam> "Sure, Ralith here can play."
[22:33:16] * Lupin looks at Ralith in the rear view mirror.
[22:33:16] * Vilkacis-busy is now known as Aaron
[22:33:25] <Ralith> (that was a 'look you idiot, I've got paws' paw.)
[22:33:33] <Sam> (so what?)
[22:33:42] <A627> You've made it past Minnapolis and now are WI.
[22:33:45] <Sam> "Ralith, you could slide the pieces."
[22:33:50] <Ralith> (so low dexterity + mini checkers = no)
[22:33:56] <Sam> (:()
[22:34:00] <Sam> "Fine then."
[22:34:00] <A627> Lupin, how fast are you drivnig?
[22:34:12] * Sam throws the checkers back down
[22:34:16] * Ralith sighs and shrugs
[22:34:17] <Lupin> (The speed that all the other traffic is driving)
[22:34:22] <Aaron> (I assume I'm in human or wolf form now...?)
[22:34:25] <Ralith> (translation: If I must.)
[22:34:32] <Sam> (there's other traffic O_o)
[22:34:34] <Sam> (?)
[22:34:50] <Lupin> (Failing that, the speed limit.)
[22:34:56] * Ralith noses Sam and the checkers
[22:35:04] <A627> The set of flashing blue and red lights in your mirrors tells you that maybe, you're going a little too fast.
[22:35:14] <Aaron> (haha)
[22:35:48] <Lupin> (Don't laugh, if I go down, you're all coming with me.)
[22:35:55] <Lupin> "Crap."
[22:36:10] <Aaron> (/me steps into the Aether )
[22:36:36] <Sam> "Oh, now you want to play?"
[22:36:40] <A627> The cop is still in your lane, letting faster traffic pass to the left.
[22:36:41] * Ralith rolls his eyes
[22:36:42] * Sam sighs
[22:36:45] <Aaron> (Let's say I'm in wolf form, elsewise there probably wouldn't be enough room in the car.)
[22:37:05] <Sam> "Damnit Lupin."
[22:37:06] <Ralith> (this is an unavoidable oppertunity to put Lupin on the spot )
[22:37:30] <Ralith> (and/or you ;) )
[22:37:31] * Lupin slows down, and pulls over.
[22:37:41] <Sam> "Be calm, be calm."
[22:37:42] * Aaron is lying down.
[22:37:53] * Sam whispers "Do you have a license on you?"
[22:38:00] <A627> The cop pulls up behind, and gets out, to approach the window.
[22:38:08] <Lupin> (quietly) "You do remember what I looked like when we met, right?"
[22:38:09] * Ralith shrugs and noses the checkers again, looking mischevious
[22:38:15] <Sam> "Oh... right."
[22:38:19] <Lupin> (quietly) "Where would I have it?"
[22:38:21] <Sam> "Great."
[22:38:45] * Sam puts his head in his hands
[22:38:54] <A627> The cop approaches the window, and motions for it to be rolled down.
[22:39:02] * Sam looks at the cop
[22:39:14] * Lupin rolls the window down. "Is there a problem, officer?"
[22:39:15] * Ralith looks at the checkers
[22:39:22] * Aaron doesn't pay any attention to him, after all, he's just a dog
[22:39:22] <A627> His hand is on his pistol.
[22:39:39] * Ralith looks at the pistol apperhensively
[22:39:47] <Sam> "Oh, these pups won't harm anybody officer."
[22:39:50] * Ralith gives the cop puppy eyes
[22:39:53] <A627> "Yes." Notes the officer. "Liscence and registration please." The officer is young, and looks like a rookie.
[22:40:01] <Ralith> (apprehensively*)
[22:40:03] <A627> "Those aren't pups."
[22:40:09] * Sam opens the glove box
[22:40:22] <Sam> "Dogs. Sorry, sir."
[22:40:49] * Sam begins fiddling in the glovebox, looking for papers.
[22:41:00] <Sam> (hey the registration might be in there)
[22:41:07] <A627> (it is)
[22:41:21] * Sam pulls out the registration and insurance cards and passes them over.
[22:41:36] <A627> "If you would please step out of the vehicle Sir and bring liscnece and registration with you."
[22:41:40] <A627> The officer backs up.
[22:41:45] <Sam> "What the..."
[22:41:50] * Ralith looks very apprehensive.
[22:41:51] <Sam> "Sir, is there a problem?"
[22:41:53] <Lupin> "Uh, I don't have my licence. We were camping, and Ralith here, the one giving you the eyes, decided it would be a good chew toy."
[22:42:03] <Ralith> (>.<)
[22:42:11] <Ralith> (he got the license, Lupin)
[22:42:12] <A627> "Yes. You're still in the car with several wolves in it."
[22:42:21] <Ralith> (hahahah)
[22:42:21] <Aaron> (no he didn't)
[22:42:31] <Sam> "Wolves? No no no. These ain't wolves.."
[22:42:40] <Ralith> (Aaron, baph said he did :/)
[22:42:59] <Aaron> (Where?)
[22:43:03] <Sam> "These're prize winner dogs."
[22:43:08] <A627> "Yeah, your dog ate your liscence. I hear it more often than highschool teachers and student's homework. You and your friend get out of the car and come with me."
[22:43:12] <Sam> "Fine examples."
[22:43:25] <Lupin> "Uh, if these are wolves, then wouldn't it be a bigger problem if I opened the door?"
[22:43:31] <A627> The cop gets on the radio, and says "Dispatch, have animal control meet me code 20 with backup."
[22:43:43] <Sam> "Animal control? what...?"
[22:43:59] * Sam gets out of the car and acts to comply (sorta)
[22:44:02] * Ralith looks around on the floor for a scrap of paper
[22:44:06] <Sam> "Officer..."
[22:44:07] <A627> "If you open the door one at a time and get out quickly, it shouldn't be aproblem."
[22:44:22] * Lupin starts to slowly unbuckle his seatbelt.
[22:44:29] <Sam> "What is going on here?"
[22:44:30] <A627> The officer backs up safely.
[22:44:43] <Aaron> (How many doors? Two or four?)
[22:44:44] <Sam> "Why are you calling animal control? These are my dogs."
[22:44:49] <A627> (four door)
[22:45:19] * Ralith looks for /anything/ on the floor
[22:45:36] <A627> "Five dogs don't wind up in a Mercedes. Dogs or Illegal Pets."
[22:45:42] <Sam> "If we were back home I could get my papers for you."
[22:45:48] * Lupin whispers very quietly "Ralith, now would be a very good time to do something."
[22:45:50] <Sam> "They're completely legal."
[22:46:13] <Ralith> (what kind of doors are these?)
[22:46:17] <A627> "I am not going to ask you again. Get out of the vehicle/"
[22:46:21] <Ralith> (more importantly, what kind of handles?)
[22:46:29] <Aaron> (and locks)
[22:46:30] <Sam> (I am out of the vehicle)
[22:46:42] <Sam> "Officer, I'm afraid there must be a mistake..."
[22:46:43] <A627> (lupin, did you get out?_
[22:46:52] * Lupin steps out of the vehicle, leving the door ajar.
[22:47:18] * Ralith climbs into the front and slips out the door.
[22:47:21] <A627> "Please close the door."
[22:47:33] * Ralith walks up to the cop and gives his leg a good licking
[22:47:34] <Aaron> While the officer's attention is elsewhere, Aaron unlocks the back passenger-side door with his back foot.
[22:47:44] <A627> He pulls his gun "Get that wolf back in the car!!"
[22:47:51] * Ralith gives him puppy eyes again
[22:47:57] <Sam> "Don't pull that gun at my dog!"
[22:47:57] * Ralith sits obediently
[22:47:57] <Lupin> "He's not a wolf."
[22:48:02] <Aaron> (He'd have shot you before you got close.)
[22:48:21] <Aaron> ( )
[22:48:26] <Ralith> (well, he didn't )
[22:48:31] <Lupin> "And honestly, I told you this would happen if you made us get out."
[22:48:35] <A627> "I would you to understand. Wolves are dangerous. Get that wolf back in the car."
[22:48:36] <Aaron> (atomic action ftw...)
[22:48:45] <Lupin> "They're very smart."
[22:49:00] <Sam> "Why are you so sure they're wolves? Sir, have you ever seen a wolf in person?"
[22:49:10] <A627> "I can see that." He twitches his gun. "Passenger, go put your hands on the hood of my car."
[22:49:12] <Lupin> "If they're so dangeous, then why can I sit in a care with five of them?"
[22:49:14] * Ralith lies down and looks hurt
[22:49:21] <Lupin> (car*)
[22:49:22] * Ralith wags hopefully
[22:49:41] <A627> "I've been bitten by them."
[22:49:46] * Sam sighs and walks over to the cop car and puts his hands on the hood
[22:49:58] <Sam> "You have, have you?"
[22:50:10] <Lupin> "Oh?"
[22:50:20] * Ralith stands up and nudges the cop again.
[22:50:24] * Sam grins "You believe in werewolves?"
[22:50:34] <Ralith> (if he's got a thing against wolves, he's going to be pretty damn distracted )
[22:50:53] <Sam> "You know, wolves would rather run away from a human than bite him."
[22:51:14] * Aaron sits up in the car and faces the door he unlocked.
[22:51:26] <Lupin> "Now does he look like he's going to bite you?"
[22:51:46] * Ralith gives the cop some more puppy eyes
[22:51:57] <Sam> "So that... bite... how did it... heal?"
[22:51:57] <A627> "No, I don't believe in werewolves. I do believe that wolves are dangerous." He shows his left wrist, where the flesh is heavily scarred. "I nearly lost my hand to one."
[22:52:16] * Ralith 's ears lay back as he sits again
[22:52:17] <A627> "Get it back in the car. Now."
[22:52:17] <Sam> "Well officer, that sure is a nasty scar."
[22:52:24] * Sam sighs.
[22:52:41] <Sam> "I can't while like this."
[22:53:01] <A627> His radio blips. "This is Animal Control, we'll be there in a few minutes with backup."
[22:53:02] <Sam> "So whatcha do to make it bite ya, anyway?"
[22:53:05] <Lupin> "I think he was talking to Ralith."
[22:53:40] * Ralith looks as cute as he possibly can
[22:53:51] <A627> "I was trying to get it off of one of my dad's colts."
[22:54:19] <A627> "Now stop asking questions and get this wolf in the vehicle."
[22:54:19] * Aaron tries to slowly open the door as carefully as possible.
[22:54:34] <A627> He flicks his gun, indicating this is his last warning.
[22:54:44] <Sam> "I tol you I can't do that while you're making me keep my hands here!"
[22:54:48] <Lupin> "I told you already, it's not a wolf."
[22:55:07] <Lupin> (Funny thing is, I'm not lying either.)
[22:55:11] <Ralith> (hehe)
[22:55:14] <Sam> (heehee)
[22:55:15] <A627> "Ok."
[22:55:30] <A627> "I want the driver to place the animal back in the car. The passenger can stay where he is."
[22:55:55] <A627> "I haven't even gotten to the point of advising you that a tail light is out."
[22:56:15] <A627> "But with your current behavior, you're telling me that there is something else wrong, and I'm going to find out what it is."
[22:56:21] <Sam> "Well maybe you should be less worried with my registered animals and more worried about the taillight."
[22:56:26] * Lupin moves very slowly back to his door "Okay."
[22:56:34] * Aaron is now known as Vilkacis
[22:56:41] <Sam> "My behavior?!? You're calling the animal unit!"
[22:56:43] <Lupin> "Oh, you want to know what our problem is?"
[22:56:56] <Lupin> "Sam, sush."
[22:57:03] <Sam> "MY dogs are gonna be taken from me for no reason. All because of some rookie cop!"
[22:57:24] * Sam tears up
[22:57:25] <Lupin> "Sam, shut up now."
[22:57:27] <A627> "I said nothing about taking the animals away."
[22:57:38] <Sam> "Then why would you call animal control?"
[22:58:05] <Sam> "My dogs are everything to me, officer."
[22:58:06] <Lupin> "Honestly, officer, I don't think you could handle our current problem now.
[22:58:09] <Lupin> "
[22:58:34] <Ralith> (o.O was that a good idea?)
[22:58:45] <Sam> (err... uh oh)
[22:58:45] * Lupin gets a mischevious glint in his eye.
[22:58:54] * Ralith stands again
[22:58:55] * Sam looks over to Lupin, worried
[22:58:58] <A627> "Full wolves cannot be kept as pets. This is illegal. Half-wolves are ok however. If you have the registration for the animals, I can call off Animal Control."
[22:59:01] <Lupin> (I'm out of good ideas, so I'm using the WTF ideas.)
[22:59:14] <Sam> "And why are you calling them wolves still?"
[22:59:19] * Ralith wanders around to the other side of the cop's car
[22:59:23] <Lupin> "Once again, they're not wolves."
[22:59:24] <Sam> "They are my dogs."
[22:59:38] <Sam> "And I told you the registration papers are back home."
[22:59:57] <Sam> "So then, who isn't being straight with whom, officer?"
[22:59:59] <A627> "Driver, put your hands in the air then behind your head. Get on the ground." The other cop gets out of the vehicle and points her gun at Sam.

[Lupin]

[23:00:07] <A627> She says "Stay where you are."
[23:00:08] <Sam> "What the?"
[23:00:14] <Sam> "What's going on here?"
[23:00:18] <A627> "Where is the shotgun y'all are keeping?"
[23:00:26] <Sam> "The what?"
[23:00:49] <Sam> "What gun?"
[23:00:56] * Ralith sniffs around the cop car
[23:01:01] * Lupin puts his hands on his head.
[23:01:05] <A627> (Ralith didn't go back into the car?)
[23:01:09] <Lupin> "I don't think we ever had a shotgun."
[23:01:14] <Ralith> (er, no.)
[23:01:18] <Lupin> (We never got around to that.)
[23:01:27] <Sam> "I don't understand, officers."
[23:01:34] <Ralith> (
[23:01:34] <Ralith> [20:59] * Ralith wanders around to the other side of the cop's car)
[23:01:52] <Lupin> "What shotgun?"
[23:01:57] <A627> Animal control pulls over and another cruiser pulls in front of your car, and backs up right to the bumper.
[23:02:22] <A627> The passenger of the other car gets out with an AR-15 as Animal Control gets out.
[23:02:24] <Sam> "Hopefully these guys are a bit more logical."
[23:02:27] * Ralith is wandering further and further
[23:02:40] <Ralith> (a rifle?!)
[23:02:57] <A627> The officer takes aim at Ralith. "Stop that wolf now!"
[23:03:10] <Sam> "Rex, come here!"
[23:03:20] <Ralith> (Lupin was using my name >.<)
[23:03:20] <Sam> "He's not a f***ing wolf!"
[23:03:23] <Lupin> (Uhh, I already called him Ralith.)
[23:03:31] <Sam> (ermm)
[23:03:33] <Lupin> "Would you plese stop calling him a wolf."
[23:03:34] * Ralith gives Sam a confused look
[23:03:47] <Sam> "Wait, that's not Rex. Ralith!"
[23:03:50] <A627> The new officer says "That's for Animal Control to decide!"
[23:04:01] <Sam> "You can't do this!"
[23:04:01] <Lupin> "Who's Rex?"
[23:04:05] * Ralith obediently lopes up to Sam and looks expectant
[23:04:16] <Lupin> "No, they can do this, but they really shouldn't."
[23:04:23] <Sam> "See, he answers to me and all. Wolves wouldn't do that."
[23:04:34] <A627> The female cop watching Sam asks the cop watching Lupin "Patrol Chief, this is getting hairy."
[23:05:01] * Lupin snickers invountary.
[23:05:06] <A627> He says "Cuff him and put him in the cruiser, and Animal Control will identify what kind of wolves these are, and confiscate them if they're illegal."
[23:05:08] <Ralith> (o.O talk about overreaction)
[23:05:17] <Sam> "They aren't wolves!"
[23:05:27] <Lupin> "That was a very bad pun ma'am."
[23:05:28] <Sam> "Why are you doing this?"
[23:05:34] <A627> "Now, I'm going to cuff you, driver, and put you in my car. If you are cooperative, this will go much easier."
[23:05:37] * Ralith continues giving Sam an expectant look
[23:05:50] <Sam> "What the f*** is the meaning of this?"
[23:06:04] <A627> "Officer Donald, if that animal makes it more than 75 feet from here, shoot it."
[23:06:28] <Sam> "Ya'll are way overreacting. Never seen these breeds before or something?"
[23:06:30] <Lupin> "Sam for the last time, calm the f*** down, before you do something you'll regret!"
[23:06:33] * Ralith gives the cops a confused look.
[23:06:57] * Ralith moves closer to Sam
[23:07:16] <Sam> "Like what? What could possibly go wrong? My dogs are being taken from me for no reason."
[23:07:17] <A627> "Driver, will you cooperate?"
[23:08:05] <Sam> "What am I supposed to do? Let some hotshot officers take them?"
[23:08:08] <Lupin> "You know that thing that happens when you lose your temper? That."
[23:08:18] <A627> The driver of the cop cruiser in front of you pops his head out of the window, "Patrol Chief, that car came up stolen."
[23:08:28] <Sam> "What's the matter boys, didn't meet your quota for the month?"
[23:08:33] <Sam> "That's a rental!"
[23:08:39] * Ralith walks over to the cop with the rifle and sniffs him/her curiously.
[23:09:00] <A627> "Yeah, right, a rental with stolen plates. Shut your mouth before you get in more trouble."
[23:09:13] * Lupin mutters under his breat "I wonder if they mentioned that it was stolen by a bunch of werewolves."
[23:09:14] <A627> The animal control guys walk up to the car, and... DUN DUN DUN
[23:09:20] <A627> Look inside.
[23:09:28] * Ralith yelps
[23:09:35] <Sam> "Alright. That's it. I'm done here. NOW!"
[23:09:48] * Sam pushes one of the officers to the ground
[23:10:08] <A627> Sam, you just got shot.
[23:10:10] <Sam> "NOW!"
[23:10:11] <Ralith> (bad idea bad idea bad idea.)
[23:10:19] <Sam> (wtf NOW means do something)
[23:10:20] <A627> The driver of the other vehicle gets out.
[23:10:24] <Lupin> "Oh, f***."
[23:10:27] <A627> Guns are out.
[23:10:32] <A627> "Freeze or get shot!"
[23:10:34] <Sam> "My... dogs..."
[23:10:43] * Ralith looks very agitated.
[23:10:51] <Ralith> (:| I have NFC what to do.)
[23:11:00] <Sam> "This... isn't ... right..."
[23:11:15] <Sam> (no one's doing anything damnit)
[23:11:16] <A627> "Let's see what we have here...."
[23:11:38] <Lupin> (Becase pissing of a police officer is exactly the wrong thing to do.)
[23:11:41] <Sam> "Ralith, be nice to the off...icer..."
[23:11:51] * Ralith growls at the officer.
[23:11:59] <Sam> (oh, so let them separate everybody?)
[23:12:03] <Sam> (end game)
[23:12:14] <Ralith> (no, just start noticefest )
[23:12:20] <Lupin> (Same thing happens if we all get shot.)
[23:12:22] <A627> "First, assualting an officer, driving a stolen vehicle, having illegal pets in your possession, and a moving violation for a busted tail light."
[23:12:33] * Sam bleeds on the ground
[23:12:47] <Sam> "I..."
[23:12:51] <Sam> "Help me..."
[23:12:51] <A627> "Julie, take care of the passenger, he's not going to do anything to you at this point, are you?"
[23:12:55] <Ralith> (oh, wait, sam actually DID get shot. Whoops.)
[23:13:04] * Ralith runs over to Sam
[23:13:10] * Ralith licks the wound, looking worried
[23:13:14] <Sam> "No Ralith, be good."
[23:13:36] <A627> (egads)
[23:13:38] <Ralith> (I /can't/ do anything without getting us killed.)
[23:13:59] * Sam winks a bit at Ralith just enough for him to see.
[23:14:16] * Sam does not move otherwise
[23:14:19] <A627> The officer stops a few feet away, not to get too close to the wolf.
[23:14:28] <A627> She painfully watches Sam bleed.
[23:14:28] * Ralith backs away from the officer
[23:15:00] * Sam plays dead
[23:15:07] <Ralith> (ooo.)
[23:15:12] <Sam> (hehehe)
[23:15:14] <A627> She also puts Sam in cuffs while before she starts.
[23:15:23] <Lupin> "Oh this is just getting better and better."
[23:15:36] <Lupin> (I can't parse that.)
[23:15:43] <Ralith> (remove while)
[23:15:53] <A627> "Driver, let's get you in the car, so I can think straight. I need to radio an ambulance now."
[23:16:12] <Lupin> "Fine."
[23:16:27] * Ralith walks up to the cop ordering Lupin about and grabs his pant leg.
[23:16:47] <A627> The cop puts Lupin into his car.
[23:16:59] <Ralith> (noone to order the wolves about now )
[23:17:09] <A627> The radio crackles up... "Yeah, and a partridge in a pear tree motherfscker. What ELSE do you want?!"
[23:17:31] <Lupin> (so are they paying attention to me any more?)
[23:17:44] <Ralith> (is the cop I'm attached to paying any attention to /me/?)
[23:17:56] <A627> Yes. He opens the door, and tries to coerce the wolf into the car.
[23:17:59] * Sam continues playing dead
[23:18:06] <A627> The cop your biting is about to shoot.
[23:18:17] * Ralith releases the pant leg and backs away
[23:18:20] <A627> He gets on the radio. "Shots fired Code 3."
[23:18:36] <A627> "Suspect injured, chest wound."
[23:18:52] * Lupin mutters to himself "Why the hell does everyone else have to antagonize the police."
[23:19:21] <A627> "If you'd get your 'dog' in the car now.
[23:19:28] <Ralith> (that wound will do wonders for our presentation if we make it in time)
[23:19:35] <A627> The animal control guys go back to their van.
[23:19:48] <Sam> (which means we don't have time for all of this)
[23:19:49] <A627> "Crap, I need a dart gun."
[23:20:34] <Ralith> (is the car he's trying to get me in the car Lupin's in?)
[23:20:38] <Lupin> "Oh, and how am I supposed to do that from inside a police car?"
[23:20:57] <A627> "Listen buddy, this woulda gone smooth as my girlfriend if you'd have just gotten out of your vehicle, and explained yourself."
[23:21:05] <A627> (yes)
[23:21:08] <Sam> (we did)
[23:21:17] <Sam> (asshole officer!)
[23:21:19] <Sam> (:P)
[23:21:38] <Lupin> "I did do that, and you decided to call animal control on us."
[23:22:14] <A627> "We wouldn't have someone shot. Your friend went from misdemenaerville to felon not to mention Grand Theft Auto."
[23:22:59] <Sam> (I think someone wants a big name for himself)
[23:23:04] <A627> (There is an easy way out of this...)
[23:23:13] <Ralith> (there is?)
[23:23:14] <Sam> (Your friend went to DEAD!)
[23:23:28] <Sam> (yeah but no one else wants to do it apparently)
[23:23:37] <Ralith> (or knows it )
[23:23:41] <Lupin> (Not while I'm handcuffed there isn't )
[23:23:46] <Ralith> (but we can't let you on that ambulance.)
[23:23:48] <A627> (Sam knows what I'm talking about)
[23:24:03] <Sam> (unfortunately I can't tell them what)
[23:24:03] <A627> (I am now officially helping you OOC.)
[23:24:09] <A627> (Before this kills game)
[23:24:12] <Ralith> (I'm not about to get myself shot. Far too many guns pointed at me.)
[23:24:28] <Lupin> "Honestly officer, I don't think you'd believe me if I were to explain myself."
[23:24:57] * A627 starts to nose the door handle in the car.
[23:25:24] <Ralith> (I'm tempted to just shift.)
[23:25:32] <A627> "You didn't even give me a chance. Hey. I sound like my girlfriend now."
[23:25:54] <Lupin> "So you really want to know?"
[23:26:05] <A627> "This sucks!"
[23:26:18] <A627> "Yes! I want you to explain yourself before the ambulance gets here!"
[23:26:26] <Lupin> "Okay. Fine."
[23:26:28] * Ralith walks to the car with Lupin and turns to face the officer, grinning a bit.
[23:26:31] <A627> "Before you start,"
[23:26:38] * Sam again winks to Ralith
[23:26:39] <A627> "I need to read you yoru rights."
[23:26:51] <Lupin> "Hmm, yes."
[23:27:01] <Ralith> (can't rush things.)
[23:27:12] <Lupin> "You might be a bit too shocked after I finished to speak properly."
[23:27:14] <A627> "You have the right to remanin silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have the right to an attourney, if none cane be afforded, we will provied you with one.
[23:27:29] <Sam> (typo-city! )
[23:27:39] <A627> (thanks)
[23:27:48] <A627> "Ok. Why don't you get started?"
[23:28:09] <Ralith> (Are you doing what I think you're doing?)
[23:28:25] <Lupin> "Here you go:"
[23:28:27] <Lupin> (Yes.)
[23:28:29] <Lupin> "We're a bunch of werewolves, on our way Chciago, to uncover a governmnet conspiracy surrounding our creation, and a plot to launch an ICBM containg a bioweaopn that would destroy Humanity."
[23:28:37] <Ralith> (Make that no.)
[23:28:46] <Ralith> (well, potentially yes.)
[23:29:00] <A627> "Ooo...kay. Is there anyway that you can prove this?"
[23:29:02] <Lupin> "I told you, you're not going to believe it."
[23:29:04] * Ralith looks at Lupin, his eyes breifly becoming that much lesss yellow.
[23:29:05] <Lupin> "Sure."
[23:29:14] <Ralith> (less*)
[23:29:16] <Lupin> "Ralith, shift please."
[23:29:29] * Ralith shifts smoothly to human (yes, naked.)
[23:29:31] <A627> "How can you prove it Which part? The ICBM? The governement?"
[23:29:41] <Ralith> "Excuse me, does anyone have a blanket or something?"
[23:29:46] <A627> "The uhh... uhh]
[23:29:50] * Ralith leans against the car nonchalantly.
[23:30:02] <Ralith> "It's a little cold out here."
[23:30:03] * Sam gets up from his pool of blood.
[23:30:04] <A627> "Julie get him a blanket NOW!"
[23:30:12] <Ralith> (bwahahah!)
[23:30:19] <Sam> "Thanks Ralith. I should've thought of that."
[23:30:25] <Lupin> "I told you he wasn't a wolf."
[23:30:29] <A627> "Umm..."
[23:30:29] * Sam brushes himself off.
[23:30:33] <Ralith> (I was waiting for a cue from someone )
[23:30:39] <A627> "Hmm. Hmm."
[23:30:39] <Sam> "Damnit, this hurts!"
[23:30:51] <A627> (you're being treated w/ first aid)
[23:31:05] <Sam> (yeah, and I got up)
[23:31:13] <Sam> (all of a sudden)
[23:31:47] <Sam> "I was trying to spare ya'll the truth."
[23:31:48] <A627> He gets on the radio... "Umm... Have that ambulance, the partridge in a pear tree, and a lot of straight jackets."
[23:31:53] <Lupin> "Now if you'll look at Sam's arm, you'll notice that there's a nice little serial number tatooed on his arm."
[23:32:06] <A627> The radio blips back "Lottery numbers too?"
[23:32:08] <Lupin> "Oh get off of it."
[23:32:12] <Lupin> "You're not insane."
[23:32:23] <Ralith> "Well, we could have a hallucinogen or something."
[23:32:24] * Sam peels back one sleeve to reveal the number
[23:32:52] <Lupin> "In fact, if you call the couple that had the car stolen, I'm sure they can tell you the same thing."
[23:32:55] * Sam appears a bit drowsy.
[23:32:56] <A627> "No. No. Straight jackets for all of us. We need handcuffs, blankets for five, and the department psychologist."
[23:33:14] <Ralith> "We really should be going. We mustn't be late."
[23:33:19] <Sam> "Oye, I lost a lot of blood, eh?"
[23:33:24] <Ralith> "You won't mind if we borrow your car?"
[23:33:33] <A627> Sam is patched up and is no longer losing any blood.
[23:33:39] <Lupin> "Uh, a police car?"
[23:33:46] <Ralith> "We can move faster."
[23:33:49] <Lupin> "That would attract WAY too much attention."
[23:34:04] <Sam> "Police escort?"
[23:34:07] <A627> "Ok. Shut up. Shut Up! QUIET!!"
[23:34:11] <Lupin> "Though, we're going to be doing that soon enough."
[23:34:23] <Sam> "What?"
[23:34:26] * Lupin shuts up.
[23:34:30] <A627> "Everyone get down on your knees. We have blankets coming for the rest of the wolves."
[23:34:31] * Ralith looks annoyed at the interruption
[23:34:44] <Sam> "What the...?"
[23:34:45] <Ralith> "We've got more important stuff to do."
[23:34:54] <Sam> "We don't have time for this."
[23:34:58] * Ralith checks if the key's in the cop car.
[23:35:04] <Lupin> "Oh for the last time. They're not wolves!"
[23:35:20] <Sam> "Damn, you boys are thick, aren't ya?"
[23:35:28] <Lupin> "Jeez. We look like wolves, and we smell like them, but we're not!"
[23:35:41] <A627> "Ok. Animal control is done."
[23:35:53] <A627> "I'm going to get drunk tonight."
[23:36:03] <Lupin> "I mean, really, when was the last time you saw one turn into a person!"
[23:36:05] <A627> "We should have them take you to Chicago for research."
[23:36:06] <Ralith> (so are the keys there or not?)
[23:36:13] <A627> "Aaand some questioning."
[23:36:15] <Ralith> (heeey...)
[23:36:25] <A627> (no)
[23:36:28] <Sam> "OH no, not more laboratories!"
[23:36:35] <Ralith> "Actually..."
[23:36:49] <Ralith> "We'd get helicopter'd there, right?"
[23:36:51] <Lupin> "There's already a bunch of research done on us."
[23:36:59] <Sam> "Indeed."
[23:37:10] <Ralith> "This might be just what we needed."
[23:37:10] <Lupin> "What part of 'secret government consparicy' do you not understand?"
[23:37:43] * Ralith waits for the officer to respond
[23:37:56] <Sam> "We are trying to get to Chicago though."
[23:38:11] <Lupin> "Yeah."
[23:38:22] <A627> "My head hurts. Five criminal charges at least, but I might have to let you all go for reserach...."
[23:38:49] <Sam> "I ain't goin' back to a research lab."
[23:39:07] <A627> "Depending on the recommendations of our dpartment psychiatrist."
[23:39:30] <Lupin> "Well if it helps, we weren't technically human when we stole the car."
[23:39:34] <A627> An ambulance show up, with EMTs jumping out the back.
[23:39:47] <Ralith> "Laws don't apply to animals, correct?"
[23:39:49] <Sam> "Oh God. More people."
[23:39:49] <A627> "Try that one in court. I am not a judge."
[23:40:06] <Lupin> "Actually more people isn't that bad."
[23:40:12] <A627> "You were human when we found you in possession of said car."
[23:40:17] <Sam> "We don't have the time for this. In less than two days, the world is history if we don't get going."
[23:40:29] <A627> "So technically, your S.O.L."
[23:40:31] <Ralith> "Not really, officer. Try taking a DNA sample."
[23:40:45] <Sam> "The DNA is a constant."
[23:41:06] <A627> (the others haven't shapeshifted yet?_
[23:41:07] <Lupin> "Oh, and what if I shift into a wolf before they try me?"
[23:41:13] <A627> "Can the other 'wolves' shapeshift too?
[23:41:25] <Ralith> "If they want to."
[23:41:34] <A627> The department psychologist gets out of the ambulance. She is an older, slim woman with thin glasses.
[23:41:50] * Sam winces at the pain from his wound, patched up or not.
[23:41:52] <A627> She looks like Cici from the Sopranos.
[23:41:54] <Lupin> "Well yes, you did hear me say we were 'a car full of werewolves', right?"
[23:42:15] <Ralith> "For the sake of the new people, someone should shift."
[23:42:27] <A627> She says "What in hell did I get called out here for?!"
[23:42:38] * Lupin turns to the psychologist "Hi, I think your officer here has a comprehension problem."
[23:42:47] <Sam> "The officer is a moron."
[23:42:58] <A627> The patrol cheif "You might want to watch the dash camera. You won't believe me. After you're done with the suspects, we need to talk."
[23:43:03] * Ralith is still blatantly not wearing anything.
[23:43:20] <A627> An EMT hands Ralith a blanket.
[23:43:25] <Lupin> "Oh for the last time. You're not going insane!"
[23:43:27] * Ralith wraps it around himself.
[23:43:30] <Ralith> "Thank you."
[23:43:41] <Sam> "At this rate, humanity is doomed."
[23:43:51] <A627> The EMT says "We have more blankets for the others... where are they?"
[23:43:57] <Lupin> "Jeez, you see a wolf turn into a person once and you think you've gone insane."
[23:44:00] <Ralith> "In the car."
[23:44:03] <Lupin> "What a fragile mind."
[23:44:18] <A627> The patrol chief says "It's physically impossible!!"
[23:44:28] <Lupin> "And yet you saw it."
[23:44:38] <Lupin> "All of you."
[23:44:39] <Ralith> "So perhaps you just have little idea of what's possible."
[23:45:00] <Lupin> "Could someone get these handcuffs off me so I can show the new people?"
[23:45:22] <Sam> "All we want to do is stop the bioweapon from being released."
[23:45:29] * Sam shakes his head
[23:45:44] <A627> The department psy speaks up "Ok. You need me to see you 'shapeshift' or you're all going to the insane asylum. You too, chief."
[23:45:59] * Lupin looks at Sam, I don't think they've finished processing the first part of my sentence.
[23:46:13] <Sam> "Apparently not."
[23:46:14] <Lupin> "Sure, just get the stupid handcuffs off."
[23:46:18] <Ralith> "Someone uncuff him for f***'s sake!"
[23:46:47] <A627> The cop opens the door, "You'll stay cuffed, and I'll open the door."
[23:47:03] <Lupin> "I'm not injuring myself for you, and I would like to speak."
[23:47:05] <Ralith> "You want him to break something?"
[23:47:05] <A627> "Oh, you want to shift."
[23:47:30] <Lupin> (who said that.)
[23:47:44] <A627> "Why do you want to shift? You could be considered resisting and escaping arrest if you do that."
[23:47:53] <A627> (the Patrol Chief says this)
[23:47:59] <Ralith> "The psychologist asked for it, didn't she?"
[23:48:02] <Sam> "Umm... what the..."
[23:48:06] <Lupin> "That's why I'm asking you very nicely to take these off."
[23:48:15] <Sam> "I think his brain is shorting out."
[23:48:16] <A627> "Yes. There are more friends of yours in that car, like the grey one."
[23:48:30] <A627> (the psychologist)
[23:48:57] <Sam> (this won't work, nobody else from the rpg is here atm)
[23:49:09] <Ralith> (A627 himself can shift.)
[23:49:17] <Sam> (ah)
[23:49:22] <Lupin> (Yes, but then baph starts talking to himself.)
[23:49:24] * A627 noses the window.
[23:49:31] <Lupin> (And this is already confusing.)
[23:49:35] <Sam> (lol)
[23:49:36] <A627> The patrol chief walks up to the car.
[23:50:06] <A627> He looks at A627, and they look at one another.
[23:50:18] <A627> The patrol cheif slowly opens the door.
[23:50:31] <Ralith> !boom A627
[23:50:31] <Lycaon> * A627 blows up horrendously! BOOM!
[23:50:33] * A627 climbs out, and stays between the cruiser and the stolen car.
[23:51:05] <A627> He acts like a wolf.
[23:51:35] <Sam> (I gotta go soon)
[23:51:40] <Lupin> "Give it up already, we told them!"
[23:51:40] * Ralith gives A627 an expectant look
[23:52:01] <A627> His form slowly begins to grow - he's controlling the speed of the shift very careful not to alarm anyone.
[23:52:47] <A627> He begins to get bigger, taller, and meaner looking.
[23:53:08] * Lupin taps his foot on the car floor, bored.
[23:53:14] <A627> He allows himself to grow to his full height, a glare coming from his face that perhaps the workers in the silo saw, shortly before they died.
[23:53:32] <Lupin> "What did I say about acting nice!"
[23:53:32] <Sam> "Okay?"
[23:53:32] <A627> !% wig out
[23:53:32] <Lycaon> A627 rolled 87%: wig out
[23:53:34] * Ralith sighs and prepares to, if necessary, block someone again
[23:53:55] <Ralith> (this is gonna hurt.)
[23:54:59] <Lupin> (I almost want to pull a Lupin III here.)
[23:55:02] <A627> "Holy Fsck!" The cop with the AR 15 freaks out and opens fire on A627!
[23:55:04] <Sam> "Any questions?"
[23:55:07] <A627> ka ka ka kak
[23:55:12] <Ralith> >.<
[23:55:17] <Sam> "Oh my..."
[23:55:18] * Ralith jumps at the rifleman
[23:55:20] <A627> Bullets fly through A627.
[23:55:22] <Sam> "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
[23:55:24] <Lupin> "Motherfucking s***."
[23:55:26] <A627> The Rifleman turns on Ralith
[23:55:31] <Sam> "You f***!"
[23:55:35] <Ralith> "f***!"
[23:55:39] <A627> The psychiatrist leaps at the rifleman, now a wolf herself.

[23:56:30] <A627> The rifleman backs up, the other cops and EMTs run the fsck away.
[23:56:46] <Sam> "She's a...wow."
[23:56:46] * A627 falls to the ground bleeding.
[23:56:48] <A627> !bleed
[23:56:48] <Lycaon> * A627 bleeds... and bleeds.
[23:56:59] * Sam runs to A627's aid
[23:57:14] * Sam tries to apply pressure to the wounds

[23:58:55] <Ralith> (

[Lupin]

[00:00:10] <Lupin> "Oh this is just great. And here I am stuck in a damn car."
[00:00:36] * Sam looks at A627 and shakes his head
[00:00:42] <A627> The psychologist rakes the rifleman down the chest and puts him in a clawed headlock like professional wrestler. lean muscles breaking the seams of her nice clothes.
[00:00:53] * Sam is tryingto apply pressure to many many wounds
[00:01:02] <Ralith> (Where's cat when we need her?)

[00:03:09] <Sam> (I really gotta go too, maybe a spot to stop?)
[00:03:16] <A627> The psychologist runs into the woodline, after the other cops.
[00:03:20] <Lupin> (Seems like it.)
[00:03:25] <A627> (I guess.)
[00:03:31] <Sam> (heh)
[00:03:35] <A627> (We'll be left with only 2 players)

[00:04:24] <A627> Now that the whole situation is all fscked up,
[00:04:42] <A627> I thought that now is a good time to let you know that wisefighter has been directing the cops the whole time.
[00:05:10] <Sam> (who?)
[00:05:17] <Lupin> (Who?)
[00:05:21] <Vilkacis> (Someone from Paradice.net)

[17:23:58] <@Lupin> "Damnit, Dana! If you keep doing this, it isn't going to look good for any of us!"

[17:24:14] <Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 8.5 + 7 for a total of 29.5.
[17:24:46] <@Sam> "Stay awake now."
[17:24:55] <@Baphnedia> Dana has a hold of your leg, and despite her claws, starts punching your leg, giving you a nasty charlie horse.
[17:25:09] <Ralith> "A627, try shifting to human."
[17:25:18] <@Baphnedia> He stops loosing blood, barely. He shakes his head 'no'.
[17:25:24] <@Lupin> !d20+10 kick Dana.
[17:25:24] <Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 + 10 for a total of 11 kick Dana.

[17:26:10] <@Lupin> !d20+10 grab gun
[17:26:10] <Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 + 10 for a total of 22 grab gun
[17:26:10] <Ralith> "You're going to die!"
[17:26:17] <@Baphnedia> He says weakly, "I... might.. die..."
[17:26:25] <@Sam> "No, you're not!"
[17:26:29] <@Baphnedia> Lupin grabs the gun as he gets kicked.
[17:26:30] <Ralith> "Just shift!"
[17:26:30] <@Sam> "You're gonna LIVE!"
[17:26:37] <@Baphnedia> A627 tries to shift to human.

[17:26:52] <Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d20 - 2 for a total of -1 live
[17:26:54] <Ralith> (can he roll above 10 just once?!)
[17:26:57] <Ralith> (>.<)
[17:27:01] <Ralith> (crap.)
[17:27:06] <@Sam> (oh... no)
[17:27:12] * Lupin twists and points the gun at Dana. "Stop it. Now."
[17:27:15] <@Baphnedia> A627's eyes close, and his breathing shallows.
[17:27:16] <@Lupin> (s***.)
[17:27:17] <Ralith> (of course he rolls 1 on the most important roll.)
[17:27:25] <Ralith> "Give him CPR or something!"
[17:27:27] <@Baphnedia> Dana is still yelling incoherently.
[17:27:31] * Sam tries to bring him back
[17:27:35] * Sam begins CPR
[17:27:40] <@Baphnedia> (roll collective medical again)

[17:27:49] <Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 8.5 + 7 for a total of 31.5 medical
[17:27:51] <@Baphnedia> She might not be aware of the gun.
[17:27:56] <@Baphnedia> (HS Good roll!)
[17:28:00] <Ralith> (for once.)
[17:28:01] <@Sam> (heh)
[17:28:06] <@Baphnedia> !d20 -1 Live
[17:28:06] <Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d20 - 1 for a total of 15 Live
[17:28:10] <Ralith> (:D)
[17:28:17] * Lupin pounts the gun away from everyone and fires.
[17:28:23] <@Lupin> (points)
[17:28:38] <@Baphnedia> After a lot of work, you manage to stabilize A627, but he's not awake.
[17:28:39] <@Sam> "Can you two PLEASE STOP FIGHTING?!?"
[17:28:43] <@Baphnedia> He is breathing with a heartbeat.
[17:28:51] <@Baphnedia> Dana is startled.
[17:28:52] * Lupin trains the gun back on Dana "I've had enough of your s*** for one day."
[17:28:54] * Ralith sighs in relief.
[17:29:03] <Ralith> "I think he'll be all right."
[17:29:13] <@Sam> "We won't know for some time."
[17:29:21] <Ralith> "But at least we have that time, now."
[17:29:23] <@Baphnedia> Clearheaded now, she says, "I've had enough of yours!"
[17:29:30] <Ralith> "If he can recover enough to shift..."
[17:29:35] <@Baphnedia> She walks back to the police car, and rips the camera out of it.
[17:29:39] * Ralith gradually becomes aware of the situation again.
[17:29:49] <@Lupin> "If you handn't pulled that s***, I could have comptley glossed over the existance of us naturals."
[17:29:50] * Baphnedia is now known as Dana
[17:29:57] <@Dana> (I get to play a chick! Yay!)
[17:29:59] <@Sam> "Alright! We got ourselves a conversation now!"
[17:30:10] <Ralith> "Now what the f*** was that about, Dana?!"
[17:30:18] <@Dana> "He was killing your friend!"
[17:30:27] <@Dana> "And a wolf to boot!"
[17:30:40] <@Sam> "Lupin? Killing him?"
[17:30:41] <Ralith> "I appreciate your help for that. Not for attacking Lupin."
[17:30:43] * Dana throws the camera into the grass.
[17:30:47] <@Sam> "What're you talking about?"
[17:30:49] <@Lupin> "And this is why I wanted to be the one to shift."
[17:30:54] <@Sam> "The cop was."
[17:30:54] <Ralith> (she was talking about the rifleman.)
[17:31:09] <@Dana> "You have collectively ended my career, my cover, everything that I've been working towards my whole life.. gone."
[17:31:11] <@Sam> (I know, but my character is confused)
[17:31:20] <Ralith> (right.)
[17:31:22] <@Sam> "We really didn't mean..."
[17:31:25] <@Lupin> "Once again."
[17:31:28] <@Dana> "Oh shut up."
[17:31:34] <Ralith> "Look, you think that really matters right now?"
[17:31:42] <@Lupin> "If you didn't shift, you wouldn't have had any problem with cover."
[17:31:44] <Ralith> "This is a lot more important than your career!"
[17:31:51] <@Sam> "We've gotta stop that bioweapon!"
[17:32:03] <@Dana> "I have a husband and two sons that'll understand things about the moon in the coming years, and I won't be there to guide them because of you."
[17:32:35] <Ralith> "If you cause trouble for us, chances are there won't BE any coming years."
[17:32:35] <@Dana> "I wouldn't have been able to stop Officer Donald from killing your friend, or the lot of us in a hysterical panic if I hadn't.
[17:32:56] <@Lupin> "Oh give it up. Those three over there are a prime example that our secret is out already."
[17:32:58] <Ralith> "If you'd paid any attention you'd have noticed that I had him!"
[17:33:02] <@Lupin> "This is just damage control."
[17:33:06] <@Sam> "What would you rather the entire human civilization go extinct?"
[17:33:14] <Ralith> "Not just human."
[17:33:19] <@Dana> "Sure. Fine. I don't care."
[17:33:22] <Ralith> "We'll be killed off to."
[17:33:33] <@Lupin> "Our government has been preforming expirements with them."
[17:33:36] <Ralith> "And who knows what else is vulnerable, if it can affect us."
[17:33:43] <@Sam> "True."
[17:33:46] <@Dana> "You're trying to be doing something for the 'greater good'?"
[17:33:59] <Ralith> "If that involves not dying, yes we are!"
[17:33:59] <@Lupin> "No. I was doing something to save my a**."
[17:34:18] <@Dana> "Feh."
[17:34:20] <@Lupin> "The fact that it helps the rest of humanity, is just a convineent side effect."
[17:34:35] <@Dana> "I'm going to take my car home, and I'm going to try to pick up the peices of my life."
[17:34:56] <@Sam> "We appreciate everything you've done for us."
[17:34:57] * Ralith , half-sincerely, says "Good luck with that."
[17:35:05] <@Lupin> "Great, whatever."
[17:35:07] <@Dana> "I buy into the 'greater good' concept as much FEMA did with New Orleans."
[17:35:08] <@Sam> "I know you didn't need to do that."
[17:35:25] <@Dana> "For what it's worth, I suppose you're welcome."
[17:35:27] <@Sam> "You obviously care about others."
[17:35:50] <@Dana> "Yes. I make a difference in people's lives... a positive one, mind you."
[17:36:09] * Sam nods
[17:36:16] <Ralith> "We really need to be going. We've lost enough time as it is."
[17:36:16] * Lupin looks at the dead officer.
[17:36:21] <@Lupin> "You call that positive?"
[17:36:38] <@Sam> "She did what she thought she needed to do, Lupin."
[17:37:03] <@Dana> "Fine. I'll see you some other day."
[17:37:17] <@Sam> "Maybe some day you'll need our help."
[17:37:22] <@Lupin> "I hope that day never comes."
[17:37:28] <@Dana> She walks over to her blue sedan, and backs it a ways away from the ambulance, and drives away.
[17:37:42] <@Sam> (her time of month?)
[17:37:45] <@Sam> (:)
[17:37:48] <@Sam> (:p)
[17:37:58] <Ralith> "We need to get going, but how?"
[17:38:08] <Ralith> "They'll be on the lookout for the mercedes."
[17:38:11] <@Lupin> "We're stealing one of their cars."
[17:38:20] <Ralith> "Sounds good."
[17:38:25] <@Sam> "Okay then."
[17:38:29] <Ralith> "If there're any keys left, that is."
[17:38:37] <@Lupin> "We're going to drive it for a while, then run it off a cliffo or something."
[17:38:47] <Ralith> "Then what?"
[17:38:57] <@Lupin> "We either find a car, or book it."
[17:39:15] <Ralith> "Let's get going, then."
[17:39:16] <@Lupin> !echo $nick
[17:39:16] <Lycaon> Lycaon
[17:39:18] <@Lupin> !echo $nick
[17:39:18] <Lycaon> Sam
[17:39:18] <@Dana> The one in front was driven away, during the run-away. The mercedes has bullet holes in it. The cop car behind has bullet holes and A627's blood all over it.
[17:39:34] * Lupin hands the rifle to Sam.
[17:39:56] <@Lupin> "If you'll excuse me, I need to take care of these handcuffs."
[17:39:58] * Sam hesistantly takes it
[17:40:14] * Ralith checks if the key's in the ambulance
[17:40:16] * Lupin drops to all fours and shifts to wolf.
[17:40:17] <@Dana> The ambulance is annoying, with it's lights flashing everywhere.
[17:40:36] * Lupin backs out of the handcuffs.
[17:40:47] * Ralith takes a moment to grab his blanket from where it fell.
[17:40:57] <Ralith> "Keys're in this thing."
[17:41:11] * Lupin rests a bit, then shifs back to human again.
[17:41:13] * Ralith checks the back for clothing.
[17:41:32] <@Lupin> (Maybe now that I'm at +8, I'll get a decent roll.)
[17:41:38] <Ralith> (heh)
[17:41:43] <@Sam> (heehee)
[17:41:55] <@Lupin> (The higher I go, the crappier they become.)
[17:42:00] <@Dana> (maybe if you don't steal a billboard vehicle, you might get a little further away...)
[17:42:10] <Ralith> (billboard vehicle?)
[17:42:36] <@Sam> (something with high visibility, advertising something is fishy)
[17:42:40] <@Lupin> (I want an obvious car, so they can find it burning by the side of the road.)
[17:42:50] <Ralith> (heh)
[17:43:20] <Ralith> (so is there any clothing in the back of the ambulance? It's a remote chance, but worth checking.)
[17:43:36] <@Dana> !% clothing
[17:43:36] <Lycaon> Dana rolled 72%: clothing
[17:43:40] <@Dana> Sure
[17:43:48] * Ralith dons $CLOTHING
[17:44:10] <@Lupin> "So Sam, what have you learned about listening today?"
[17:44:20] * Sam sighs
[17:44:23] * Ralith sighs and climbs back out.
[17:44:43] <@Sam> "Don't be so f***ing stubborn, I guess."
[17:44:49] * Sam is in a somber mood
[17:45:12] <@Lupin> "Okay, we need to get our butts out of here."
[17:45:19] <@Sam> "Could get somebody killed."
[17:45:21] <Ralith> "It's all right. Mistakes happen. Let's just get going."
[17:45:31] <@Sam> "We really do need to go."
[17:45:51] <@Lupin> "Yeah, as long as you learned something from this."
[17:46:05] <Ralith> (Baph, I think your nick's out of date.)
[17:46:09] * Dana is now known as A627
[17:46:14] <@A627> (thx)
[17:46:19] <@A627> !bleed ?
[17:46:19] <Lycaon> * A627 bleeds all over ?.
[17:46:27] <Ralith> "There's a reason I defer to Lupin, ya know."
[17:47:02] <Ralith> "So we're taking the ambulance?"
[17:47:04] <@Lupin> "I don't pretend to be an expert on everything, but I do spend a great deal of time around people."
[17:47:08] <@A627> You begin to hear the faint sounds of rotor blades.
[17:47:25] <@Sam> "I'm /so/ sorry."
[17:47:34] * Ralith 's ears fail to turn to focus on the sound.
[17:47:43] * Sam looks down
[17:47:43] * Lupin looks in the direction of the helicopter.
[17:48:10] * Ralith stands by Sam.
[17:48:14] * Sam hears the noise and looks for a chopper
[17:48:27] <@Lupin> "Flashy might not be a good idea right now."
[17:48:41] <@Lupin> "I'm a good driver, but I can't outrun a helicopter."
[17:48:46] <Ralith> "Look, it's all right. You made a mistake, but that's all it was."
[17:48:50] * Ralith nods to Lupin.
[17:48:55] <@Sam> "Mistakes cost lives."
[17:48:58] <Ralith> "We don't have many other choices right now, though."
[17:49:15] <@A627> The helicopter is coming from over the other side of the freeway, but you can't see it yet.
[17:49:15] <Ralith> "You can't blame yourself for everything."
[17:49:39] * Lupin gets into the ambulance "I suppose."
[17:49:42] <@A627> Somebody roll Identify Helicopters?
[17:49:46] * Ralith climbs in after
[17:49:51] <Ralith> !d20+8.5 ident
[17:49:51] <Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 8.5 for a total of 15.5 ident
[17:50:03] * Ralith becons Sam
[17:50:08] <Ralith> (beckons?)
[17:50:11] <@Lupin> !d20+8 helicopter thingy.
[17:50:11] <Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 + 8 for a total of 19 helicopter thingy.
[17:50:38] <Ralith> "Ocrap. It's our friends from the military again."
[17:50:38] -A627- It's an AH-64 Apache Longbow
[17:50:46] <Ralith> "Sam, get in here!"
[17:50:46] <@Lupin> "Wonderfull."
[17:51:16] <@A627> The helicopter tops the trees across the free way.
[17:51:33] * Lupin (pokes Sam)
[17:51:39] <Ralith> (*beep Sam beep*)
[17:51:57] * VOICE :Unknown command
[17:51:58] <@Sam> (sorry)
[17:52:07] * Sam climbs in
[17:52:22] <Ralith> (time to floor it.)
[17:52:27] <Ralith> (*puts on chase music*)
[17:52:32] * Lupin puts the ambulance into gear, and floors it.
[17:52:40] <@A627> >.<
[17:52:48] <@A627> >.<
[17:52:49] <Ralith> (Baph, what'm I wearing, btw?)
[17:53:03] <@A627> (rescue worker's outfit)
[17:53:16] <Ralith> (I have no idea what that translates to.)
[17:53:34] <Ralith> (but it's not important now.)
[17:53:34] <@A627> (big red/orange affiar)
[17:53:40] <Ralith> (heh)
[17:53:44] <@A627> You speed off in the abulance.
[17:53:56] <@A627> Do you turn on the sirens?
[17:53:59] <Ralith> "Sam, you can't take responsibility for other's mistakes."
[17:54:06] <@Lupin> (They were already on?)
[17:54:16] <@A627> Lights are on, sirens are off.
[17:54:21] <@Lupin> (Oh.)
[17:54:23] <@Sam> "This was MY mistake. I got too carried away with acting."
[17:54:44] <Ralith> "But it would have been fine if A627 hadn't freaked out."
[17:54:44] <@Sam> "And others died because of it."
[17:54:48] <@Lupin> "Someoen find me the switch that activates the sirens."
[17:54:54] <Ralith> (oh, by the way, A627's in the back, right?)
[17:54:58] <@Sam> (lol)
[17:55:00] <@A627> (uhh)
[17:55:03] <@Lupin> (Someone)
[17:55:12] * A627 is napping.
[17:55:14] * Sam checks in back
[17:55:19] <@Sam> "He's asleep."
[17:55:32] <Ralith> "That's good, I guess."
[17:55:39] <Ralith> "He'll heal faster."
[17:55:55] <@Lupin> "Well, I'm not sure how long that will last after we turn on the sirens."
[17:56:06] <@A627> (I still can't find any place anyone picked him up and put him in the ambulance)
[17:56:14] <@A627> (if you can't find it, he's not there)
[17:56:19] <Ralith> (f***.)
[17:56:28] <Ralith> "Erm, did we forget something?"
[17:56:47] <Ralith> "Lupin, how fast can you turn around?"
[17:56:49] <@A627> The cars on the freeway get out f your way.
[17:57:01] <@A627> Turning around might be risky business.
[17:57:09] <@A627> The helicopter fades away in the background.
[17:57:14] * Lupin breaks hard "Let's see."
[17:57:17] <@A627> You can't seee what's going on over there,
[17:57:22] <@A627> Roll drive
[17:57:30] <@Lupin> !d20+8 drive
[17:57:30] <Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 + 8 for a total of 16 drive
[17:57:41] <@Sam> "Forget what?"
[17:57:47] <@A627> Is anyone looking out the back of the ambulance?
[17:58:08] <Ralith> "We left A627 back there."
[17:58:08] <@Sam> (I was looking back)
[17:58:21] * Ralith has a *headdesk* expression.
[17:58:25] <@Sam> (errm)
[17:58:57] <@A627> !%
[17:58:57] <Lycaon> A627 rolled 3%.

[17:59:44] <@Sam> "Hurry!"

[Lupin]

[18:00:05] <@A627> The soldiers have guns.

[18:00:19] <Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 + 8 for a total of 25 drive again
[18:00:48] <Ralith> (what soldiers?)
[18:01:06] <@A627> The first time you tried to turn around, oncommming traffic was a pain. Now, however, another half mile down the road, you find an opening to turn around without fliippping over
[18:01:13] <@A627> Army.
[18:01:28] <@Sam> "They're gonna take him!"
[18:01:40] <@Sam> "s***!"
[18:01:42] <@A627> Lupin is driving into oncoming traffic.
[18:01:47] <Ralith> "Just run the f*** over!"
[18:01:57] <@A627> There is an Apache Attack Helicopter hovering above.
[18:02:19] * Lupin flips on the sirens.
[18:02:27] <@A627> !% traffic dodges ambulance
[18:02:27] <Lycaon> A627 rolled 30%: traffic dodges ambulance
[18:02:47] <@A627> Someone needs to roll high driving...
[18:02:50] <@Lupin> "Obviously that mind wipe worked prett well."
[18:03:01] <@Lupin> (pretty*)
[18:03:15] <@Lupin> !d20+8 still more driving
[18:03:15] <Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 + 8 for a total of 12 still more driving
[18:03:16] <@Sam> "Gee, thanks."
[18:03:28] <Ralith> "You two, there's no time for this."
[18:03:31] <@Sam> "Everything is my fault."
[18:03:39] <@Sam> "Right. Let's get him."
[18:03:55] <@A627> A driver of a sports car looks up, not realizing that you were driving against traffic. Lupin roll dodge, or get hit in a head on collision.
[18:03:55] <Ralith> "Stop blaming yourself!"
[18:04:04] <@Lupin> !d20+8 dodge sports car

[18:04:16] <@A627> >.<
[18:04:39] <@A627> you swerve madly getting around the sports car who manages to spin out of control behind you.
[18:05:06] <@A627> You are still driving towards a helicopter with lots of guns on it.
[18:05:13] * Lupin pulls over and starts driving on the shoulder.
[18:05:27] <@A627> The helicopter isn't facing towards you.
[18:05:44] <@A627> !d20+9 solder dodge ambulance
[18:05:45] <Lycaon> A627 rolled d20 + 9 for a total of 16 solder dodge ambulance
[18:06:03] <@Lupin> !d20+8 break for soldier.
[18:06:03] <Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 + 8 for a total of 21 break for soldier.
[18:06:06] <@A627> The soldier administering aid to your friend goes 'thump'
[18:06:12] <@A627> ()nm)
[18:06:21] <@Sam> (heh)
[18:06:43] <@A627> Soldier looks up, very startled, squatted next to A627.
[18:06:45] * Ralith jumps out the ambulance and runs for A627.
[18:07:00] * Sam follows Ralith, running
[18:07:10] <@A627> The soldiers gawk with a wtf expression on thier faces.
[18:07:17] <@A627> "Forget something mister?"
[18:07:27] * Ralith ignores the soldiers, grabs A627, and runs to the back of the ambulance.
[18:07:33] <@Sam> "Possibly."
[18:07:42] <@A627> !d20 ouch for 627
[18:07:42] <Lycaon> A627 rolled d20 for a total of 6 ouch for 627
[18:07:48] * Sam runs back
[18:07:54] <@Sam> (I was gonna help)
[18:08:01] <Ralith> (you're helping if you say you are.)
[18:08:10] * Sam helps
[18:08:12] <@Sam> (:P)
[18:08:14] * Lupin yells from the car "There was a crazy lady that went berserk, and attacking the police!"
[18:08:31] <@Lupin> (Sorry Dana )
[18:08:39] * Ralith climbs into the back with Sam and pulls the doors shut, locking them.
[18:08:43] <Ralith> "Go!"
[18:08:45] <@A627> The soldiers look back blankly.
[18:08:53] <Ralith> (element of wtf for the win)
[18:09:00] * Lupin turns around, and drives the right way again.
[18:09:04] <Ralith> (like element of surprise, except more so.)
[18:09:30] * Ralith finds somewhere flat and stable to put A627 down
[18:09:41] <@A627> The cars get out of your way.
[18:10:01] <@Lupin> "What the hell was that helicopter doing there!"
[18:10:06] <@Sam> "That was close!"
[18:10:31] <Ralith> "The management probably got wind of all the odd radiod requests"
[18:10:36] <@A627> The helicopter is following you.
[18:10:53] <Ralith> "Erm. They've stopped staring blankly."
[18:11:07] <@A627> There is an exit, Hospital Next Right.
[18:11:13] * Lupin takes the exit.
[18:11:29] <@A627> The hospital is another right, and then on the right hand side.
[18:11:43] <@A627> "Mercy Medical Center" is what name it goes by.
[18:12:10] <@Lupin> "Great, I don't actually want to stop at the hospital, but if I don't they're going to know something is up."
[18:12:26] <Ralith> "We're being followed by a gunship."
[18:12:36] <@Sam> "Perfect!"
[18:12:38] <Ralith> "Caution is a bit irrelevant now."
[18:12:56] <Ralith> (the game is today or tomorrow?)
[18:13:23] <@A627> (game tomorrow)
[18:13:35] <@A627> The turn for the hospital is coming up fast on the right.
[18:13:43] <@A627> There is a clear EMERGENCY lane.
[18:13:55] * Lupin gets into the emergency lane, and signals for a turn.
[18:14:16] <Ralith> "Wait. You think there's a chance they don't realize what just happened?"
[18:14:54] <@Lupin> "I'm trying to plant the seeds of doubt."
[18:14:55] <@A627> You make the turn, and am speeding through towards the ER.
[18:15:07] <Ralith> (are*)
[18:15:13] <@Lupin> (brb)
[18:15:50] <@A627> (bah)
[18:16:02] <@A627> The ER driveway is closing with alarming speed.
[18:16:16] <Ralith> "We'll have to get into another vehicle without their notice."
[18:16:37] <Ralith> "It's a good thing we're human."
[18:17:09] <Ralith> (Lupin, are you wearing anything?)
[18:18:15] <@Lupin> (I'm still in the same clothes I was in when we were pulled over (not back))
[18:18:27] <Ralith> (good.)
[18:18:54] <@A627> The garage door opens, there are several EMTs awaiting the Ambulance.
[18:19:01] <@A627> To take the injured to ER/Trauma
[18:19:22] <Ralith> "So how far are we going to follow up this play?"
[18:19:58] <@Sam> "I'll keep out of this one. My plans tend to blow up."
[18:20:14] <@A627> As you slow down, one of the EMTs motions for you to roll down the window.
[18:21:16] <Ralith> "Sam, don't go be so hard on yourself."
[18:21:25] <@A627> He shouts, Transfer or ER?
[18:21:29] <Ralith> "Lupin, we need to know what to do."
[18:21:35] <@Sam> "I just don't want anything more to go wrong."
[18:21:52] <Ralith> "Nothing ever comes off perfectly."
[18:22:02] <Ralith> "Lupin! What're your plans?"
[18:22:15] <@A627> (he's still not back)
[18:22:29] <@Sam> (brb)
[18:23:14] <Ralith> (well, he said something a short while after his brb. I thought that meant he got back.)
[18:23:50] <@Lupin> (I'm cooking)
[18:23:55] <@Sam> (back)
[18:24:09] <@Sam> (were our lights/siren on?)
[18:24:17] <@Sam> (I have an idea)
[18:24:21] <Ralith> (we never got around to pressing anything)
[18:24:25] <@A627> (brb)
[18:24:28] <@Lupin> (I did.)
[18:24:28] <Ralith> (so the lights are on, but the siren's off)
[18:24:32] <Ralith> (oh.)
[18:24:38] <@Lupin> (Turned the sirens on.)
[18:24:43] <@Sam> (gah... okay nm)
[18:25:14] <@Sam> (sometimes people call an ambulance to "freeride" them in the city)
[18:25:42] <@Sam> (aka trick them into driving when the person's okay)
[18:26:19] <@Sam> (then, the ambulance corps people drop them off at the hospital to avoid writing a report)
[18:26:19] <@A627> (hehe)
[18:26:22] <@A627> (back)
[18:26:44] <@Sam> (the EMTs play along)
[18:27:00] <@Sam> "We've got a freerider."
[18:27:23] <Ralith> (what happened to not wanting to try anything of your own? )
[18:27:25] <@Sam> "Damn folk. Call a damn taxi and let us alone."
[18:27:37] <@A627> "Oh ok. Take the next boat to the left on your way out. You're on your way to get an old lady with a broken arm." *wink wink*
[18:28:06] * Ralith looks relieved, then turns to Sam.
[18:28:11] <Ralith> "See? You're not so bad."
[18:28:13] * Sam whispers "I suppose my background comes in handy a bit now and again. Nice leaky memory wipe helps too."
[18:28:18] <@A627> The garage door closes.
[18:28:26] * Lupin whispers to Sam "boat?"
[18:28:32] * Sam shrugs
[18:28:36] <@Sam> "I have no idea
[18:28:38] <@Sam> "
[18:28:51] <Ralith> "How're we going to get him out, though? If they see him it'll be pretty obvious he's not ok."
[18:28:57] <@A627> The EMT resumes his game of poker.
[18:29:02] <@Sam> "Maybe a different ambulance?"
[18:29:27] <@Sam> "I don't know, Ralith, stand him up?"
[18:29:29] * Lupin looks around.
[18:29:31] <@A627> You're parked forward, the other ambulances are parked backward.
[18:29:53] <Ralith> "He's not paying much attention. Worth a try."
[18:29:55] <@A627> There are a line of ambulances. The EMTs are playing cards.
[18:30:07] <Ralith> "Let's just try to keep him out of line of sight."
[18:30:20] * Lupin looks around for some more appropriate clothing.
[18:30:26] <Ralith> (brb)
[18:30:29] <@A627> (did anyone rolll up a window?)
[18:30:49] <@Sam> (I was whispering)
[18:30:50] <@Lupin> (I never rolled mine down.)
[18:31:00] <@A627> (kk)
[18:31:10] <Ralith> (back)
[18:31:14] <@Sam> (wb)
[18:31:18] <@Lupin> (great, I need to go stir.)
[18:31:20] -A627- where are you looking?
[18:31:24] <Ralith> (>.<)
[18:31:41] <@Sam> "This is gonna be tricky."
[18:31:46] <Ralith> (is there a way to the back of the ambulance without getting out?)
[18:32:07] -A627- Ralith is wearing the spare set of clothing. There might be another set in the next ambulance.
[18:32:08] <Ralith> "I think we'll be all right. The ambulance is between them and where we'll be."
[18:32:23] <@Sam> "I hope you're right."
[18:32:46] <Ralith> (I'm /really/ thankful for the Aether right now )
[18:33:06] <@A627> (for the other four players?)
[18:33:11] <Ralith> (yup)
[18:33:37] <@A627> (there really are seven of you piling into this other ambulance... but... yeah)
[18:33:46] <@A627> (three rolls are better than seven)
[18:33:51] <@Sam> (heehee)
[18:33:54] <@Sam> (yeah)
[18:34:07] <Ralith> (is there a way to the back of the ambulance without getting out?)
[18:34:13] <@A627> Roll Move Normally (for getting A627 without making a bunch of useless noise)
[18:34:24] <@A627> (yes. within the ambulance)
[18:34:37] <Ralith> (we haven't gotten to that bit yet )
[18:34:43] <@A627> (but, you'll have to go in view of the EMTs to get to the back of the next ambulance, if you don't go through the cab)
[18:34:52] * Ralith climbs into the back, checking on A627
[18:34:58] <Ralith> (how closely are theyparked?)
[18:34:59] <@A627> Roll medical
[18:35:06] <@A627> A few feet apart
[18:35:09] <Ralith> !d20+8.5 medical
[18:35:09] <Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 8.5 for a total of 13.5 medical
[18:35:20] <Ralith> (we won't be in their view long, though, if we exit and enter via the back.)
[18:35:50] <Ralith> "I think he's still getting along all right."
[18:36:46] * Lupin exits the ambulance, turning everyhing off and goes to the one on the left.
[18:37:04] * Ralith motions for Sam to help him pick A627 up.
[18:37:07] <@A627> The one to the left is unlocked, keys are in the ignition.
[18:37:23] * Sam goes to one end of A627 and awaits Ralith
[18:37:26] * Lupin goes around to the back and opens it up.
[18:37:30] * Ralith lifts

[18:38:08] <Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 8.5 + 7 for a total of 17.5 move A627

[18:39:03] <@Sam> (roomy's sister is in here :/)
[18:39:48] * Ralith pushes the back open and moves towards the other ambulance.
[18:40:15] * Lupin looks around the back of the the new ambulance.
[18:40:29] <Ralith> (the back of the new ambulance, that is)
[18:40:31] <@A627> there is a bit of noise as A627's claws screetch against metal on his way out of the ambulance.
[18:40:47] * Ralith winces but keeps going
[18:40:55] <@A627> !% reaction
[18:40:55] <Lycaon> A627 rolled 24%: reaction
[18:41:30] -A627- there is another EMT outfit in this ambulance. You see it shortly before Sam and Ralith get in.
[18:41:52] * Lupin grabs the extra EMT outfit, and puts it on.
[18:41:55] <@A627> All this moving about disturbs A627's bandages.
[18:42:07] <@Sam> (5 min or less till I can play again)
[18:42:14] <Ralith> (k)
[18:42:23] <Ralith> (Lupin, did you open the back doors?)
[18:42:33] <@Lupin> (Yes.)
[18:42:43] <@A627> You move A627 into the back of the Ambulance.
[18:42:47] <@Lupin> ([18:37] * Lupin goes around to the back and opens it up.)
[18:43:03] * Ralith carefully puts him down, trying not to disturb the bandages or make any more noise
[18:43:44] * Ralith pulls the back doors shut and locks them once Sam is inside.
[18:44:04] * Ralith does his best to fix A627's bandages
[18:44:18] * Lupin climbs into the drivers seat.
[18:44:30] <Ralith> (should I roll?)
[18:44:40] <@Sam> (back)
[18:45:03] <@A627> (yep)
[18:45:20] <Ralith> "Can I get a hand, Sam?"
[18:45:23] <@A627> The EMTs are still playing poker.
[18:45:27] <Ralith> (two bonuses are better than one.)
[18:45:54] * Lupin starts the ambulance up.
[18:46:04] <@Sam> "Sure."
[18:46:07] <Ralith> !d20+8.5+7 medical
[18:46:07] <Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 8.5 + 7 for a total of 19.5 medical
[18:46:09] <@A627> The radio clicks on. "Ambulance 247, what's your destination?"

[18:46:19] <@A627> !bleed
[18:46:19] <Lycaon> * A627 bleeds... and bleeds.
[18:46:22] <@Sam> (:P)
[18:46:33] <@Sam> "What do you want me to do?"
[18:46:36] * Ralith looks worried and keeps trying
[18:46:46] <Ralith> "Let's get his bandages fixed; they've came loose."
[18:46:49] * Sam fixes the bandages
[18:46:56] <Ralith> (roll)

[18:47:16] <Ralith> (this is embarassing.)
[18:47:17] <@A627> (two bonuses?)
[18:47:27] <Ralith> (er, right, you'll have to reroll that *innocent look*)
[18:47:32] <@Sam> (oops)
[18:47:39] <@Sam> !d20+8.5+7 bandages
[18:47:39] <Lycaon> Sam rolled d20 + 8.5 + 7 for a total of 34.5 bandages
[18:47:41] <@Sam> (:P)
[18:47:43] <Ralith> (:D)
[18:47:55] * A627 is still sleeping, but the bleeding has stopped.

[18:48:09] <Ralith> (gah)
[18:48:16] <@Lupin> (:/)
[18:48:22] * A627 is still alive.
[18:48:22] <Ralith> (from 15 to 2? that was a lot of bleeding.)
[18:48:30] <Ralith> (they'll notice the blood trail )
[18:48:30] * Lupin looks, and drives off.
[18:48:31] <@Sam> (DAMN!)
[18:48:49] <Ralith> (we must've jostled something sensitive.)
[18:48:51] <@A627> The ambulance crashes through the garage door.
[18:48:57] <@A627> On it's way out.
[18:48:57] <Ralith> (>.<)
[18:49:05] <@Lupin> (Hey. I looked!)
[18:49:06] <@A627> The radio blips "Umm, what are you doing?"
[18:49:17] * Sam looks in the ambulance for saline or some sort of fluids
[18:49:26] <Ralith> (That's simply not fair, baph )
[18:49:52] <@Sam> (Baph is being mean lately )
[18:49:54] <Ralith> (he explicitly stated that he checked.)
[18:49:57] <@A627> (sec:[18:19] <@A627> The garage door opens, there are several EMTs awaiting the Ambulance.)
[18:50:12] <@A627> (ahh)
[18:50:24] <@A627> (I'll take Lupin's thing - I missed 'looks')
[18:50:29] <Ralith> (whew.)
[18:50:40] <@A627> (BUT, had that word not been in there...)
[18:50:46] * A627 would have no sympathy.
[18:50:48] * Ralith climbs into the passenger seat.
[18:50:57] <@Lupin> (This is why I said that )
[18:51:13] <@A627> The garage door is closed behind you. The radio blips on. "247 this is control What is your destination?"
[18:51:31] * Ralith whispers "The old lady, remember?"
[18:51:48] * Sam takes a bag of saline and prepares an IV drip
[18:51:54] <@Sam> (roll?)
[18:52:00] <@A627> (yep)
[18:52:04] <@Lupin> "Yes, we were told to go pick up an elderly woman with a broken arm."
[18:52:10] <Ralith> (do try not to stab him through something vital.)
[18:52:16] <@Sam> (just my bonus this time?)
[18:52:19] <@A627> "247 this is control. Ok. Opening door."

[18:52:33] <Lycaon> Sam rolled d20 + 7 for a total of 15 IV

[18:52:50] <@Sam> (thank god for bonuses)
[18:52:57] <@Sam> (IVs go on the arm)
[18:53:00] <@Sam> (:P)
[18:53:18] <@Sam> (adrenaline goes into the heart)
[18:53:19] <@Lupin> "Could repeat the address on that?"
[18:53:20] <@A627> The IV is on the arm, but you didn't get a good flash. But, the drip has started.
[18:53:41] <@A627> "6614 Milwaukee St."
[18:53:50] <@Lupin> "Thanks."
[18:53:51] <@A627> It's an ok drip, too.
[18:54:02] <@A627> (the GM is a dip too)
[18:54:27] <@A627> !d20 live
[18:54:27] <Lycaon> A627 rolled d20 for a total of 10 live
[18:54:35] <Ralith> (whew)
[18:54:56] <@A627> The garage door opens.
[18:54:59] <@Sam> "Okay A627, hang in there."
[18:55:26] * A627 quietly, doesn't offer a reply.
[18:55:36] <@Sam> (heh)
[18:55:40] <Ralith> "Let's try to avoid anything fancy. I'm worried about A627, and we don't want to attract more attention."
[18:56:32] * Lupin continues to drive like he knows where he's going "Yeah."
[18:56:42] <@Sam> "We definitely do not."
[18:57:28] <Ralith> "On to chicago, then. That should've thrown them."
[18:57:37] * Ralith looks out the window, searching for the heli.
[18:58:08] <@A627> The helicopter is hovering over the hospital parking lot.
[18:58:11] <@A627> It doesn't follow.
[18:58:20] * Ralith looks relieved.
[18:58:26] -A627- You are now Free(tm) to move about the country.
[18:58:31] <Ralith> "Whew. This worked out a lot better than I expected."
[18:59:07] <@Lupin> "We should still ditch this as soon as we can."
[18:59:14] <Ralith> "But not too soon."
[18:59:41] * Lupin tries to figure out where they are
[18:59:47] * Ralith digs around for a map
[18:59:55] <@Sam> "So anybody have any clue where in the country we are?"
[18:59:56] <@A627> Approaching I94
[18:59:58] <@A627> Again.

[19:00:16] <@A627> Twin Cities<<
[19:00:29] <@Sam> "Take the right! Take the right!"
[19:00:58] <Ralith> (hey, I'm the one with the map)
[19:01:08] <Ralith> "Right it is."
[19:01:09] * A627 waits.
[19:01:16] <@A627> !% really trippy dreams.
[19:01:17] <Lycaon> A627 rolled 16%: really trippy dreams.
[19:01:19] <Ralith> (*pokes Lupin*)
[19:01:34] <Ralith> (can we try to stop the spontaneous afks?)
[19:01:42] <@A627> (I hope so)
[19:01:47] <@Sam> (/me was looking over Ralith's shoulder )
[19:01:53] <Ralith> (fine)
[19:01:59] <@A627> (The game is getting braked into submission)
[19:02:01] <@Lupin> (When I finish cooking.)
[19:02:07] <@A627> (hehe)
[19:02:34] * Lupin takes the right.
[19:03:08] * Sam checks the IV drip again, almost obsessively
[19:03:25] <@A627> The IV drip is doing it's thinkg. Drip drip drip
[19:03:40] <@A627> You're back on I94.
[19:03:41] <@Sam> (it's thinking?!? Oh my...)
[19:03:46] <@Sam> (;))
[19:03:53] <@A627> (lol)
[19:04:12] <Ralith> (it's an iV ;) )
[19:04:21] * Sam hovers over A627 religiously
[19:04:36] <@A627> !% Godhood?
[19:04:36] <Lycaon> A627 rolled 63%: Godhood?
[19:04:41] <@A627> :/
[19:05:02] <Ralith> (hehe)
[19:05:23] * Sam lets out a loud sigh of relief
[19:05:25] <@A627> There is a radio in this ambulance, along with the radio to the hospital. Two 'EMT's in the front and another two (plus four more) in the back.
[19:05:52] <@A627> You drive through madison, WI. The signs talk about Milwaukee, WI and Chicago, IL.
[19:06:02] * Ralith looks happy.
[19:06:18] <Ralith> "Now we just need to find another car, then find somewhere to hide out until the game."
[19:06:42] <@A627> It is getting towards the evening, now that you're nearing Milwaukee. The gas tank is down to 1/2
[19:06:53] <@Sam> "Preferably one that won't be reported stolen for a while."
[19:07:34] <@A627> You start passing through Milwaukee. The evening traffic is heavy, as the sun goes down.
[19:07:46] <Ralith> "Perhaps we should do it here?"
[19:08:04] <@Lupin> "Yeah."
[19:08:11] <@Lupin> "We should do it pretty soon.
[19:08:53] <@A627> The moon rises, the sun is now down.
[19:09:56] <Ralith> "Does this place have any sort of slums?"
[19:10:19] <@Lupin> "You're asking me?"
[19:10:43] <@A627> You pass an exit for North Ave.
[19:10:56] <@Sam> "I wish one of use knew the area. Ah well, we'll have to do our best."
[19:11:29] * Lupin gets into the right lane, preparing to exit.
[19:11:38] <@A627> You pass by the downtown (as close as I94 gets) and see that you are approaching a river.
[19:11:48] <@A627> Of course, there is a bridge across it.
[19:12:02] * Lupin looks at the river. "Nah, that'd be mean."
[19:12:04] <@A627> On the other side of the river, the city lights are half as bright as downtown, if that.
[19:12:30] <@A627> Ext xxx for US 41, Next Right
[19:12:35] <@A627> You cross the river.
[19:12:49] <@A627> There is an exit ramp ahead of you, leading into a darker part of town.
[19:12:58] <Ralith> "Promising."
[19:13:07] <@Sam> "I think we're headed the right way."
[19:13:21] * Lupin takes the exit.
[19:13:44] <@A627> The exit ramp leads down to a simple stop sign and a cross road. You can't read what road this is, because there isn't one.
[19:13:48] <@A627> The sign is broken off.
[19:14:07] <@A627> (trust me, if they haven't fixed that sign when I go back there I'm gonna be Pissed)
[19:14:14] <@Sam> (lol)
[19:14:20] <@A627> You can go left or right, or get back on the free way.
[19:14:27] <Ralith> > l
[19:14:31] <Ralith> (;))
[19:14:46] <@A627> There are worn down houses and apartment buildings to the left, beyond the freeway. To the right is industry.
[19:14:54] <@A627> (I got lost down here)
[19:14:59] <@Sam> (heehee)
[19:15:02] <Ralith> "Left seems promising."
[19:15:08] * Sam nods
[19:15:30] * Lupin turns left
[19:15:37] <@Lupin> (Haha)
[19:16:14] <@A627> The street lights are on, but they don't shed a whole lot of light. The houses are run down, there is trash in the street, and cars parked alongside the road.
[19:16:56] <@A627> There is enough room to maneuver the ambulance one way down this road. It's not wide enough for passing traffic to get by.
[19:17:02] <Ralith> "Well, I don't know how to hotwire a car, but I could probably work it out if igition systems are anything like I think they are."
[19:17:03] <@A627> There is no other traffic out right now though.
[19:17:46] <@Sam> "Ralith and technology? Who woulda thunk it?"
[19:17:51] * Sam cackles
[19:17:59] <Ralith> "It was a hobby before I abandoned society."
[19:18:04] <@A627> You are passing old cars anywhere from the rusted 70's to the sad 90's.
[19:18:27] <@A627> Sad 90's being clunkers.
[19:18:31] <Ralith> "Or we could wait for someone to drive by and risk lots of noise and a quicker report."
[19:18:50] <@Lupin> "I think it's best if you just try to hotwire it."
[19:19:16] <@A627> You're driving slowly down the street.
[19:20:35] <Ralith> "Does it matter which we choose?"
[19:20:42] <Ralith> "None of them are anything special as far as I can tell."
[19:21:13] <@Lupin> "I don't really think so."
[19:21:26] <@Lupin> "I'm just giving A627 time."
[19:21:54] <Ralith> "Well, we might as well get started. I don't know how long this'll take me."
[19:22:47] <@Sam> "Hopefully not long."
[19:23:04] * Sam checks how much saline is left in the bag.
[19:23:10] <@A627> Half
[19:23:35] <@Lupin> "Well, pick one, and I'll stop."
[19:23:57] <Ralith> "That one."
[19:24:00] * Ralith points.
[19:24:06] <@A627> A 76 muscle car
[19:24:19] <@A627> It's green.
[19:24:24] <@A627> 76 T
[19:24:27] <@A627> (ack)
[19:24:30] <@A627> T-bird
[19:24:30] * Lupin stops in front of it. "Ooh, my favorit color."
[19:24:43] <Ralith> (one sec, cleaning glasses)
[19:25:35] <Ralith> (done)
[19:25:43] * Ralith gets out and tries the door.
[19:26:02] <@Sam> (Ralith you need to get contacts ;))
[19:26:11] <Ralith> (too much bother )
[19:26:27] <@Sam> (/me has 20:600 vision... his glasses would be Coke bottles)
[19:26:32] <Ralith> (I'm just waiting until I'm eligible for that eye surgery and it's reliable enough to get me 20/20)
[19:26:45] <@Sam> (I'm afraid of surgery)
[19:26:56] <Ralith> (bah.)
[19:27:02] <@Sam> (back on topic )
[19:27:03] <@A627> The door is locked
[19:27:04] <@A627> (ack)
[19:27:15] <@Lupin> (Hehe, you're going to hate me, my vison dropped to 20/20 and I got bothered.)
[19:27:15] * You are no longer marked as being away
[19:27:22] <Ralith> (what?)
[19:27:27] <Ralith> (you got bothered?)
[19:27:41] <@Lupin> (I had 20/15 vision.)
[19:27:51] <Ralith> (*snarl*)
[19:28:34] <Ralith> (anyway)
[19:28:41] <@A627> ...
[19:28:52] <Ralith> "I suppose noone can pick a lock?"
[19:29:13] <@Lupin> "I've never had a reason to."
[19:29:16] <@Sam> "We could try a needle."
[19:29:37] * Sam scours the ambulance for a needle
[19:29:47] <@Sam> (though the ground would work too, here)
[19:29:48] <Ralith> "Try /what/ with a needle, though? Just stick it in and wiggle it?"
[19:29:58] <@Sam> "Sure, why not?"
[19:30:09] <@Sam> "Unless you wanna smash the window."
[19:30:23] <@Lupin> "Not an option."
[19:30:37] <@Lupin> "We're trying not to attract attention, remember?
[19:30:39] <@Lupin> "
[19:30:46] <@Sam> "Exactly my point."
[19:31:00] <Ralith> "Well, it's not likely to have an alarm, is it?"
[19:31:02] * Sam takes a needle and hands it to Ralith
[19:31:07] <Ralith> "I suppose it's worth a try."
[19:31:10] <@Sam> "There ya go."
[19:31:11] * Ralith sticks it in the lock and jiggles it
[19:31:36] <Ralith> !d20+8.5 lockpoke
[19:31:36] <Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 8.5 for a total of 18.5 lockpoke
[19:32:42] * Ralith keeps up the jiggling
[19:32:51] <@A627> This scene looks funny.
[19:32:59] <@A627> The door unlocks.
[19:33:11] * Ralith looks satisfied.
[19:33:23] * Ralith climbs in and examines the keyhole
[19:34:58] <@A627> The keyhole is simple. The column has some damage around the keyhole, like this isn't the first time this car was stolen.
[19:35:30] <@Sam> "It got gas?"
[19:35:49] * Ralith is halfway through trying to lever it out with a claw, then remembers he doesn't have one.
[19:35:54] * Ralith checks for gas
[19:36:33] * Lupin checks on A627 in the ambulance.
[19:38:06] <@A627> the gas guage is at 3/4
[19:38:15] -A627- Roll medical
[19:38:38] <@Lupin> !d20+8 medical
[19:38:39] <Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 + 8 for a total of 13 medical
[19:38:53] <Ralith> "Enough."
[19:39:07] <Ralith> "Do we have anything thin and strong I can pry this out with?"
[19:39:21] -A627- Hmm... he looks ok.
[19:40:33] <Ralith> (hello?)
[19:41:28] * Ralith gives an exasperated sigh and returns to the ambulance, digging around for somethign appropriate
[19:41:29] * A627 clicks
[19:41:33] * Sam goes back into the ambulance to look for something resembling a flathead screwdriver
[19:41:43] <@A627> You both bump into each other.
[19:41:53] <@A627> You find a flathead screwdriver.
[19:41:58] <@Sam> "Perfect!"
[19:42:03] <Ralith> "Great!"
[19:42:10] * Ralith grabs it before Sam can
[19:42:14] <@Lupin> "Sssh!"
[19:42:23] * Ralith looks sheepish and returns to the car
[19:42:25] <@Sam> (I woulda just given it to you anyhow )
[19:42:31] <Ralith> (yeah)
[19:42:55] * Ralith attempts to pry the keyhole containing thing out.
[19:43:19] <@A627> The column cover breaks out around.
[19:43:56] <Ralith> (er, what?)
[19:44:09] <Ralith> (did it get hives or something?)
[19:44:18] <@A627> (lol)
[19:44:20] <@Lupin> (:P)
[19:44:34] <@A627> There are two exposed wires leading to the keyhole.
[19:44:57] <Ralith> "This is depressingly easy."
[19:45:11] * Ralith yanks them out and puts the exposed tips together.
[19:45:19] <@A627> The engine cranks.
[19:45:53] * Ralith returns to the ambulance.
[19:45:58] <@A627> A light in the house turns on.
[19:46:08] <Ralith> "Do we have anythign resembling electrical--s***."
[19:46:13] * Sam whispers "Uh oh"
[19:46:15] <@Lupin> "Crap, time to haul a**."
[19:46:18] <Ralith> "I can wrap them, let's go!"
[19:46:33] <@Sam> "Lupin, care to help me get A627?"
[19:46:47] <@A627> The engine is humming nicely.
[19:46:48] * Lupin grabs an end of A627
[19:46:56] * Sam gets the other end
[19:47:00] <Ralith> (it is? I thought I had to maintain the contact.)
[19:47:01] <@Sam> "And... lift"
[19:47:12] * Ralith climbs back into the passenger seat of the car.
[19:47:13] <@A627> (ack grr)
[19:47:15] * Sam lifts
[19:47:16] * Lupin lifts
[19:47:17] * Ralith opens the back door.
[19:47:25] <Ralith> (the one near them, that is.)
[19:47:27] * Sam carries A627 into the back seat
[19:47:34] * A627 thought Ralith was holding the cnotacts together.
[19:47:52] <Ralith> (how could I do that from the ambulance?)
[19:47:59] <@Sam> (lol)
[19:48:06] <@A627> (hehe gettin tired)
[19:48:08] <@Sam> (hurry!)
[19:48:13] * Lupin helps him, then gumps into the drivers seat.
[19:48:20] <@Sam> "Okay, sardine time!"
[19:48:23] <@A627> The driver's seat gets gumped.
[19:48:34] <Ralith> (gonna close the back door, Sam?)
[19:48:36] <@Lupin> (jumps*)
[19:48:39] * Sam closes the door.
[19:48:48] * Lupin closes his door.
[19:48:48] <@A627> The front door of the house is getting unlocked hurridly from the inside.
[19:48:50] * Sam opens the door on the other side and slides in
[19:48:56] <Ralith> "Go!"
[19:48:58] * Lupin peels out.
[19:49:04] <Ralith> (peels?)
[19:49:07] * Sam closes the door
[19:49:10] <@Lupin> (Yes.)
[19:49:10] <@A627> The tires screetch as you barrel down the little street.
[19:49:22] <Ralith> "Back to the highway now."
[19:49:29] <@A627> Some big white guy runs out of his hosue with a baseball bat hollering.
[19:49:32] <Ralith> "Er. Do we know the way back?"
[19:49:49] * Ralith digs around for a map
[19:49:52] <@Sam> "Trace our route back to the highway."
[19:50:11] <Ralith> "We can't go the same way back; the ambulance's blocking it."
[19:50:13] <@Lupin> "Shouldn't be too hard to find. It's a highway."
[19:50:24] <Ralith> "But an onramp to itis another matter."
[19:50:39] <@A627> The street ends ahead, right only.
[19:50:54] * Lupin turns right
[19:50:56] <@Lupin> (er, I parallel parked.)
[19:51:10] <@Lupin> (Which is why the ambulance was in fron of the car.)
[19:51:16] <Ralith> (oh.)
[19:51:29] <Ralith> (still not a good idea to go back where that guy is.)
[19:51:32] <@A627> The street goes straight for a little bit.
[19:51:45] <@A627> The street isn't blocked. Lupin Parallel Parked.
[19:52:38] <@Lupin> (Werewolves are very good at that.)
[19:52:49] <Ralith> "Well, we could go back. But do we risk the pissed off carowner?"
[19:52:50] * Sam holds A627's IV drip in the air by hand
[19:52:58] <@Sam> "Not really."
[19:53:17] * Ralith leaves it to Lupin to decide
[19:53:38] <@Lupin> "I doubt that's a good idea. Even though we did leave him a car."
[19:53:54] <@A627> There is a spot to turn around, but otherwise, you think the exit was mainly for the industrial area.
[19:55:22] * Sam looks out the window at the scenery
[19:55:24] * Ralith continues digging around for a map
[19:55:57] <@Sam> "Wow, we're really packed in here... heehee."
[19:56:25] <@Sam> "We must be quite a sight."
[19:56:28] * Sam winks
[19:56:46] <@A627> (hehe)
[19:56:56] <Ralith> "Eh, noone'll notice 'round here."
[19:57:02] <@A627> You finally wind up in a series of dead ends, as this is asmall hood
[19:57:08] <Ralith> (do I find a map or not??)
[19:57:22] * Lupin takes one and turns around
[19:57:38] * Ralith doesn't find a map.
[19:57:39] -A627- are you working your way back the way you came?
[19:57:46] <@Sam> (we shoulda been in Bridgeport, CT. Few dead ends and lots of hoods )
[19:57:46] <@A627> (/noticing like crazy)
[19:58:03] <Ralith> "Should've brought the map from the ambulance. Ah well; once we're on the highway we should be fine."
[19:58:09] <@A627> The hood is small.
[19:58:15] <@Sam> "We shoulda got some more saline too."
[19:58:20] * Sam grimaces
[19:58:28] * Lupin tooks for some other exit other than the one where they came
[19:58:31] <@Sam> "We'll give him the rest of this at least."
[19:59:05] <Ralith> "That guy may have gone inside by now. Besides, if we go by fast enough, we should be fine."
[19:59:28] -A627- Roll Navigation
[19:59:36] <@Lupin> !d20+8 navigation
[19:59:36] <Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 + 8 for a total of 27 navigation
[19:59:48] <@A627>
[19:59:55] -A627- you find another exit.

[Lupin]

[20:00:09] * Lupin takes the other exit.
[20:00:10] <Ralith> (woot.)
[20:00:15] * Ralith looks happy.
[20:00:26] <@A627> Weaving through little streets, you come up on the exit.
[20:00:42] <Ralith> "Well, I think we're finally safely on our way."
[20:00:42] <@A627> You are now on I94 once again, in a much nicer looking (stolen) car.
[20:00:55] <@Lupin> "Somehow I doubt this."
[20:01:22] <@Lupin> "When I get home, I'm not coming out of my 'cleanroom' for a week."
[20:01:52] <@A627> The lights of Milwaukee fade away as you are enroute to Chicago.
[20:01:52] <Ralith> "Nor am I leaving the forest."
[20:02:11] <Ralith> "It'll be a long time before you convince me to make another excursion into society..."
[20:02:29] <@Sam> "Heehee..."
[20:02:46] <@A627> !d20 live
[20:02:47] <Lycaon> A627 rolled d20 for a total of 15 live
[20:02:56] <@A627> !d20 awake
[20:02:56] <Lycaon> A627 rolled d20 for a total of 18 awake
[20:03:05] <Ralith> (yay)
[20:03:26] * A627 sleeps soundly.
[20:03:30] * A627 snorts softly.
[20:05:25] * Sam yawns
[20:05:30] <@A627> (ok... you're on the road to Chicago.)
[20:05:32] <@Sam> "Too much excitement."
[20:05:36] <@A627> (I'm going to sleep)
[20:05:39] <@A627>
[20:05:44] <@Sam> (heehee)
[20:05:49] <@A627> (someone kick the bot before ye leave)
[20:05:49] <@Sam> (life imitates art)
[20:06:01] <@A627> (that's deep)
[20:06:05] <Ralith> (grr.)
[20:06:17] <@Lupin> (.rrg)
[20:06:18] * A627 (Baphnedia@*.dhcp.mdsn.wi.charter.com) has left #paradice2
[20:06:20] <@Sam> (c ya)
[20:06:26] <Ralith> (I was hoping to get to the stadium tonight )
[20:06:41] <@Sam> (yeah... he kinda made everything longer )

[Lupin]

21:46:24 -!- Baphnedia changed the topic of #paradice to: Silo 17 || We have two rules: Treat everyone here with respect, and don't eat sentient beings no matter how tasty they may be with tobasco sauce.
21:46:27 <@Ralith> Lone_Wolf, come on
21:46:31 <@Ralith> take advantage of someone for once
21:46:35 <@Lupin> Hehe
21:46:35 <@Lone_Wolf> lol
21:46:41 <@Lupin> I was about to suggest the same thing.
21:47:02 <@Lone_Wolf> I take advantage of your guys... that isn't enough?
21:47:05 -!- Lone_Wolf is now known as Sam
21:47:12 <@Ralith> you do?
21:47:13 <@Lupin> Oh okay
21:47:14 * Ralith didn't notice
21:47:17 <@Lupin> I am logging this on disk.
21:47:21 <@Ralith> anyway
21:47:26 <@Ralith> just do it at least once
21:47:27 <@Lupin> You all are getting irssi logs today.
21:47:28 <@Ralith> this is an important game
21:47:29 <@Ralith> heh
21:47:31 <@Lupin> Sorry
21:47:32 <@Lupin>
21:47:34 <@Sam> (err you guys)
21:48:06 <@Ralith> heh
21:48:10 <@Ralith> so
21:48:15 <@Ralith> we gaming in #paradice2?
21:48:16 -!- Baphnedia is now known as A627
21:48:17 <@Sam> no
21:48:18 <@Lupin> No
21:48:22 <@A627> .
21:48:24 <@A627> ...
21:48:25 <@A627> .
21:48:27 <@A627> ..
21:48:28 <@A627> .
21:48:40 <@Sam> (heh)
21:49:01 * A627 is couting in periods
21:49:04 <@A627> kinda
21:49:20 <@Aki> ?
21:49:36 <@A627> (The Devil is on the phone, btw)
21:49:47 <@Sam> (EEP!)
21:50:08 <@A627> (He likes 40k)
21:50:08 <@Akela> Monkeys go eep.
21:50:13 <@Akela> Cool
21:50:18 <@Sam> (/me gets rid of all Baph's phones)
21:50:33 <@A627> !d20+1 live
21:50:33 <+Lycaon> A627 rolled d20 + 1 for a total of 3 live
21:50:33 * Akela is in the process of reading the 40K Mega novel - Eisenhorn
21:50:40 <@Sam> (O_o)
21:52:08 <@Sam> (/me wonders why the human is lugging such a huge book around with him)
21:52:29 <@A627> The streets of Chicago are busy.
21:53:09 <@A627> They're multi-laned and snake around...like my dinner.
21:53:13 <@A627> (Spaghetti)
21:53:38 <@A627> The trip from Milwaukee to Chicago only took a couple of hours - the football game isn't until tomorrow.
21:53:47 <@A627> Plus, it's rather late at night now.
21:54:14 <@A627> Clouds hide the stars and the moon as A627 breaths shallowly.
21:54:44 <@Ralith> (Lupin, has baph seen those photos?)
21:55:20 * Sam yawns quietly
21:55:36 <@A627> (photos?)
21:55:39 <@Lupin> (Sorry, I seem to be managing to touch my laptop in just the right way to make it reoboot)
21:56:02 <@A627> Lupin is still behind the steering wheel.
21:56:19 <@Lupin> "We need to ditch the care now."
21:56:26 <@Lupin> (-e)
21:56:38 <@Ralith> "Yeah."
21:56:46 <@Ralith> "We need somewhere to hide out."
21:57:11 <@Sam> "Agreed. Anyone know where we could hide away here?"
21:57:15 <@A627> (roll medical)
21:57:20 <@Sam> (me?)
21:57:32 <@Sam> (gotta check my bonus)
21:57:41 <@A627> (yep)
21:58:15 <@Ralith> "Let's not forget that I need different clothes."
21:58:27 <@Sam> !d20+8 medical
21:58:27 <+Lycaon> Sam rolled d20 + 8 for a total of 28 medical
21:58:31 <@Lupin> "Yeah"
21:58:33 <@Sam> (nice!)
21:58:38 <@Lupin> (Wow)
21:58:46 <@Akela> Not too shabby
21:58:56 <@Sam> (Akela, () plz )
21:59:37 * A627 is still breathing slowly.
21:59:38 <@Akela> Relax, the invasion of Normandy has begun so when I return I cannot say.
21:59:42 * Sam looks at A627
21:59:46 -!- Akela is now known as Akela|Busy
21:59:49 <@Sam> "Sleeping like a baby."
22:00:03 <@Ralith> "That's good."
22:00:08 <@Lupin> "He's going to have to shift eventually."
22:00:09 <@Sam> (Akela needs to learn to () when ooc)
22:00:18 <@Ralith> (yes)
22:00:32 * Akela|Busy was never in character
22:00:32 <@Sam> "Well, yeah, once he has enough energy."
22:00:34 <@Ralith> "He'll be alright for now."
22:00:52 <@Sam> (When we play a game Akela, everyone is supposed to do that )
22:01:10 <@A627> (yes, that is true)
22:01:18 <@Sam> (no matter though)
22:01:21 * Akela|Busy is a nobody, and is off for good this time.
22:01:29 <@Ralith> ( )
22:01:32 <@A627> You see many stores, hotels, and places of business as you enter the business district.
22:01:37 <@Sam> (:/)
22:01:54 <@Ralith> "This won't do. Isn't there any sort of slum in this place?"
22:02:26 <@Lupin> "Probably. I'm not from around here."
22:02:30 <@Sam> "Don't ask me. I don't remember crap."
22:02:42 -!- Veruth [~Pyromonkey09@*.ipt.aol.com] has joined #paradice
22:02:44 -!- mode/#paradice [+v Veruth] by Veruth
22:02:48 <@Lupin> (Just in time.)
22:03:16 <@Sam> (wb)
22:03:33 * A627 takes a break to sleep on something...
22:03:51 <@A627> (Veruth, welcome!)
22:03:56 <@Aki> (hiyas)
22:04:11 <@Ralith> "Well, let's try to find something appropriate."
22:04:18 <@Ralith> "At worst there's always a dark alley somewhere."
22:04:28 <+Veruth> (I'm not sure how long I can be on, my connection still dosen't work and I'll have to get off this one after a while. Plus I'm still quite nervous about the RP thing)
22:04:31 <@Ralith> "I need to get out of these clothes."
22:04:43 <@Ralith> (you're too worried, Veruth )
22:04:45 <@Lupin> "We should find something near the stadium."
22:04:51 <@Ralith> "Yeah, that'd be best."
22:04:58 <@Ralith> "But easy to get to and from without notice."
22:05:01 <@Lupin> (Yeah, this is the first time I've ever done this.)
22:05:15 <@Ralith> (and mine, too.)
22:05:17 <@Lupin> "Yeah, not too close."
22:05:19 <@Sam> (You'll do fine)
22:05:38 <@A627> The stadium is surrounded by a ring of hotels with dark alleys in between.
22:05:57 <@Sam> "Hmm..."
22:06:45 <@Ralith> "Well, one of those alleys is worth a try."
22:06:48 * Ralith points.
22:06:52 <@A627> The chicago skyline is in stark contrast to the sky.
22:06:52 <+Veruth> (Well, I guess I could try If it's alright, if I screw up too bad I could always quit I guess)
22:07:04 <@Ralith> (again, don't worry about it)
22:07:15 <@Ralith> (In fact--)
22:07:22 <@Lupin> (Hm?)
22:07:32 <@Ralith> (baph, can you try to work him in during/after the climactic point?)
22:07:36 <@Ralith> (that might be interesting.)
22:07:42 <@Sam> (That could be cool)
22:07:49 <+Veruth> (I have no idea how to do this sort of thing though, other than what I've picked up from the logs)
22:07:57 <@Sam> (maybe even earlier)
22:07:57 <@A627> (I can work him in before, sicne there'll be a little downtime)
22:08:00 <@Ralith> (that's all you need to know)
22:08:10 <@Ralith> (well, if an oppertunity presents itself)
22:08:15 <@Sam> (Veruth: I started cold, without aid of logs )
22:08:17 <@Ralith> (I just think then might be agreat time for it)
22:08:33 <@Ralith> (Hehe, I was in the first game, having absolutely no previous experience.)
22:08:50 * Sam looks for the darkest, dreariest alley.
22:09:02 <+Veruth> (I'd be a little more comfortable after, but whatever seems best is fine with me)
22:09:22 <+Veruth> (I will now leave you alone to continue)
22:09:43 <@Lupin> "If you guys find some place that looks good, point it out."
22:09:43 <@A627> You pass a billboard sign on the way to the stadium "Bears vs Packers tomorrow at 6pm!"
22:09:43 <@Ralith> (ooc messages/comments are fine)
22:09:49 * Ralith scans the area
22:10:05 * Aki looks around
22:10:08 * Lupin checks his watch.
22:10:18 <@A627> !d9999
22:10:18 <+Lycaon> A627 rolled d9999 for a total of 2353.
22:10:20 <@Ralith> "They all look about the same to me."
22:10:24 <@A627> It's almost midnight.
22:10:31 <@Sam> "Hmm... well that alley over there is pretty dreary... some nice crackheads and everything."
22:10:33 * Sam points
22:10:46 <@Ralith> "I'd prefer one unoccupied."
22:10:47 <@Sam> "We need somewhere less populated though... hmmm..."
22:10:50 <@Lupin> "Same here."
22:10:50 <@Sam> "Yeah."
22:10:55 <+Veruth> (like I said though, I might have to leave. If that happens I'll try to get on the bad connection but chances are it won't work)
22:11:08 <@A627> A couple blocks down the street, you find an unpopulated alley.
22:11:21 * Lupin pulls into the alley.
22:11:28 <@Sam> (Veruth: no worries)
22:11:37 <@A627> The Sitters Bakery is to the left.
22:11:42 <@Sam> "This is more like it."
22:11:56 * Ralith nods
22:11:56 <@A627> The side of the Quality Inn is to the right.
22:12:17 <@Ralith> (so... gonna stop the car? )
22:12:26 <@A627> (you drive by!)
22:12:29 <@A627> (j/k)
22:12:43 * Lupin stops the care in the alley.
22:12:58 <@Ralith> (interesting typo)
22:12:59 <@A627> The alley is dark, you're driving over some discarded trash.
22:13:10 * Ralith opens the door and climbs out, looking around.
22:13:12 <@A627> The walls press close to the car, but there's barely enough clearance to get through.
22:13:19 <@Lupin> "So how is he doing?"
22:13:30 <+Veruth> (either one is fine with me)
22:13:49 <@A627> There is a squaking noise ahead and to the right.
22:14:17 <@A627> (roll awareness)
22:14:28 <@Ralith> !d20+9.5 awareness
22:14:28 <+Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 9.5 for a total of 14.5 awareness
22:14:31 <@Sam> !d20+8 awareness
22:14:31 <+Lycaon> Sam rolled d20 + 8 for a total of 15 awareness
22:14:35 <@Aki> !d20+9 Awereness
22:14:35 <+Lycaon> Aki rolled d20 + 9 for a total of 10 Awereness
22:14:37 <@Lupin> !d20+11
22:14:37 <+Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 + 11 for a total of 13.
22:14:38 <@Aki> (:D)
22:14:41 <@Ralith> (hehe, nice you two)
22:14:54 <@Sam> (lol)
22:14:57 <@Ralith> (*sighs at the pun*)
22:15:05 <@Ralith> (Lycaon hates that pun, he always rolls it low.)
22:15:08 <@Lupin> (Yeah.)
22:15:31 <@A627> (/me is waiting on his own set of dice that rolled under his desk, just a sec)
22:16:17 <@Aki> (lol)
22:16:30 <@Sam> (gah... 45 minutes )
22:16:45 * Ralith looks towards the sound.
22:16:55 <@Ralith> (until what, Sam? Roomy stop being so polite? )
22:17:10 <@Sam> (no, until Baph says he has to go)
22:17:14 <@Sam> (silly)
22:17:17 <@Lupin> (:P)
22:17:17 <@Ralith> (oh, whew.)
22:17:23 <@Ralith> (but baph'll be back after that.)
22:17:38 <@Sam> (and I may not)
22:17:55 * Sam 's head turns towards the sound
22:17:56 <@Lupin> "Is that a bird?"
22:18:13 <@Sam> "I think so... it's coming from that window over there."
22:18:17 * Sam points
22:18:17 <@Aki> "Whuff."
22:18:39 <@Sam> (cue corny joke from Lupin)
22:19:00 <@Lupin> "Bah, I've used all my material on Aki."
22:19:02 * Ralith walks over, taking a closer look.
22:19:24 <@Lupin> (:P)
22:19:31 <@Sam> (lol)
22:19:58 <@A627> The sound sounds like matress springs squaking protest to abuse.
22:19:59 <@Lupin> (grr, I've misplaced my 98 licence key.)
22:20:13 <@A627> It's probably coming from a back service room of the hotel.
22:20:15 * Lupin rolls his eyes.
22:20:20 <@Sam> (oh my )
22:20:24 * Ralith sighs, having hoped for a snack.
22:20:50 <@Ralith> "Someone should go grab some clothing for me. I'll attract too much attention too early dressed like this."
22:20:53 <@Sam> "I don't think we'll have too many tourists here."
22:20:54 * Ralith indicates his bright orange clothing.
22:21:07 <@Sam> "Well, I'm no better off."
22:21:09 <@Ralith> "Might have trouble finding someplace open this late."
22:21:13 <@Ralith> (you aren't?)
22:21:15 * Lupin catches Ralith's sigh "You're human, right now you know."
22:21:26 <@Sam> (I'm in hunting gear, no?)
22:21:26 <@A627> The alley is very dark. No lights permeate it at all.
22:21:28 <@Ralith> "Meh."
22:21:33 <@A627> Trash is everywhere.
22:21:42 * Lupin takes off the jacket he put on in the ambulance.
22:21:43 <@Ralith> "Only by necessity."
22:21:49 <+Veruth> (I've got to go, I'll try to get back on, but It's probably not going to happen)
22:22:07 <@Sam> (ok... c ya then)
22:22:07 <@Ralith> "Good point, Sam, you could do with something better too."
22:22:07 <@A627> (take care)
22:22:10 <@Lupin> "Sill, no eating house pets."
22:22:10 * Sam nods
22:22:10 <@Ralith> "Though at least you don't reflect."
22:22:17 -!- Veruth [~Pyromonkey09@*.ipt.aol.com] has quit []
22:22:19 <@Sam> "Yeah."
22:22:21 * Ralith sighs exaggeratedly.
22:22:23 * Sam chuckles
22:22:27 <@Lupin> (brb, moving laptop.)
22:22:42 <@A627> (Is everyone still naked?)
22:22:51 <@A627> (nm I remember now)
22:22:55 <@Ralith> (...good)
22:22:58 <@Aki> (lol)
22:23:06 <@Sam> (ha)
22:23:09 <@Ralith> "Not with what they feed them these days."
22:23:16 <@Ralith> "Probably taste horrid."
22:23:45 <@Sam> "I reckon we should be able to find everything we need pretty cheap here. Do we have any money left?"
22:24:15 <@Ralith> "Four hundred, I think."
22:24:23 <@Ralith> "But will any place still be open?"
22:24:27 <@Lupin> "$360, after the gas stop."
22:24:29 <@Sam> (yay for second hand stores and pawn shops)
22:24:31 <@Ralith> (*beeps Vilkacis-school*)
22:24:42 <@Ralith> (that's one late running school)
22:24:45 <@A627> The bakery is closed.
22:24:57 <@A627> The hotels or bars will be open...
22:25:06 <@Ralith> "Plenty for the nondescript stuff we need."
22:25:17 <@A627> There are a bunch of cardboard boxes further ahead. Another 100 feet to the next street.
22:25:33 * Ralith sits down, leaning against the wall
22:25:53 <@Lupin> "What should we do about A627?"
22:26:11 <@Ralith> "We'll try to get him to shift while you're off shopping."
22:26:50 * Ralith stands and opens a back door, beckoning Sam over to help."
22:27:24 <@Lupin> "I doubt it's the best idea for us to split up."
22:27:28 <@A627> !Boom
22:27:28 <+Lycaon> * A627 blows up horrendously! BOOM!
22:27:57 <@A627> You hear a huge metallic boom as a dumpster somewhere is struck by something hard.
22:28:10 <@Ralith> "Normally I agr--"
22:28:16 * Aki turns towards the sound, snarling.
22:28:24 * Ralith looks around suddenly, searching for a source
22:28:34 <@Lupin> (brb)
22:28:37 <@A627> A car horn goes off on the street you came from.
22:28:56 * Ralith looks around the car.
22:29:16 <@A627> The dumpster might be at the other end of the alley.

22:29:37 <@A627> The car is pretty well boxed in, a jeep is parked behind.
22:29:57 <@Sam> (back sorry)
22:30:02 <@A627> (ack)
22:30:08 <@Ralith> "Ohcrap."
22:30:16 <@A627> (the Jeep is parked at the mouth of the alley, just the front end)
22:30:17 * Ralith slams the back door shut again
22:30:18 * Sam goes over to offer Ralith help.
22:30:23 <@Ralith> (a little late.)
22:30:24 <@A627> A blue jeep Wrangler.
22:30:29 <@Sam> (bah)
22:30:43 <@Lupin> "Damnit."
22:30:46 * Ralith looks over at Lupin.
22:31:06 <@Sam> "Never a dull moment, eh?"
22:31:10 <@Ralith> "Never."
22:31:37 * Ralith tries to see what the driver of the jeep's doing
22:31:39 <@Sam> "What do you think we should do?"
22:31:52 <@Ralith> "If we're lucky, he'll just pull out."
22:32:01 <@Lupin> "Normally I'd say run and hide."
22:32:03 <@Ralith> "Of course, we won't be lucky."
22:32:10 <@Ralith> "And we've got A627 to take care of."
22:32:19 * Sam nods
22:32:31 <@Lupin> "Yeah."
22:32:43 <@A627> All you see is the front bumper and hood of jeep with a winch on it.
22:32:46 <@A627> The engine is running.
22:33:03 <@Ralith> (I can't see the windshield?)
22:33:15 <@Sam> "I owe him a lot. If I hadn't freaked in front of the police, he wouldn't be so helpless right now."
22:33:20 <@A627> Nope, it's parked outside the alley, at the mouth
22:33:33 <@Sam> "Oh... heehee... I think they're gonna take the car?"
22:33:38 <@Ralith> "Then again, if he hadn't freaked in front of the police, we'd have gotten out fine too."
22:33:48 <@Ralith> "Crap! Help me get him out of there!"
22:33:53 * Ralith tears the door open again
22:33:59 * Ralith starts pulling A627 out
22:34:02 * Lupin gets out of the car.
22:34:03 * Sam helps
22:34:11 * Lupin helps Ralith and Sam
22:34:16 <+Veruth> (This is really unstable, but I'm still going to try to stay. It kicked me off 3 times before IRC could connect :/)

22:36:12 <@A627> (where are you going to take A627?)
22:36:13 <+Veruth> (I think I might be able to get started better as a human, but I'm fine with either one)
22:36:30 <@A627> (there are boxes further in the alley, there is a backdoor to the bakery and a backdoor to the hotel.
22:36:36 * Ralith starts taking A627 back behind the boxes

22:39:53 <@Ralith> (yay, for once our rolls are only mediocre instead of utterly terrible)
22:39:57 <+Figarou> (I'll be back later)
22:39:59 -!- Figarou [Figarou@*.satx.res.rr.com] has quit []
22:40:01 <@Lupin> (Heh)
22:40:14 <@A627> drat
22:40:19 <@Aki> (Worst rolls = that damn cliff!)
22:40:32 <@Ralith> (hehehehe)
22:40:39 <@Ralith> (we were tired?)
22:40:42 <@Sam> (lol)
22:40:57 <@Lupin> (Oh yeah)
22:41:08 <@Sam> (/me needs another tea)
22:41:41 * Sam looks to either end of the alley
22:41:47 * Sam 's ears perk up
22:41:54 * Ralith follows Sam's line of sight
22:41:58 * Lupin wonders what's going on with the traffic.
22:42:00 <@Ralith> (eh? aren't you human?)
22:42:09 <@Sam> "That sounds like... traffic?"
22:42:14 * Lupin wonders how Sam got his human ears to do that.
22:42:28 <@Lupin> "Yeah, it's speeding up for some reason."
22:42:36 <@Sam> (Well, err... that's uhh. yeahh... continuity error)
22:42:37 * Ralith nods
22:42:42 <@Ralith> (heh)
22:43:01 * Ralith 's ears are perked, but you can't tell because of the hideously small range of motion human ears have.
22:43:44 <+Veruth> (Thanks, I was having a little trouble with that)
22:44:06 <@Sam> (lol)
22:44:13 <@Lupin> (Haha)
22:44:38 * Ralith sets A627 down behind some boxes and looks back down the alley towards the car.
22:44:39 <+Veruth> (how do I PM again?)
22:44:49 <@Ralith> (in here, we use /notice <nick> <message>
22:44:51 <@Ralith> )
22:44:51 <@A627> (/notice)
22:44:58 <@A627> (/notice username message)
22:44:59 <@Ralith> (but normally it's /msg <nick> <message>)
22:45:08 <@Lupin> (Oh wich reminds me.)
22:45:10 <@Ralith> (we use notice because it doesn't open a new window)
22:45:19 <@Lupin> (You can notice multiple people at once)
22:45:43 <@Lupin> (/notice nick1,nick2,nick3,...,nick18 )
22:45:47 <@Ralith> (oo, cool)
22:45:54 <@Sam> (GodNotes (TM))
22:46:10 <@A627> The engine is still running.
22:46:35 <@A627> The jeep is still parked.
22:46:41 <@A627> Illegally on the sidewalk.
22:46:54 <@Sam> "I still wonder what they're up to..."
22:46:56 <@A627> The lights are off.
22:47:03 <@Lupin> "Not sure."
22:47:22 <@Sam> "I really don't want a conflict now.
22:47:27 <@Ralith> "Yeah."
22:47:29 * Ralith grimaces.
22:47:44 <@A627> A627 is heavy, and is sleeping.
22:47:46 * Ralith crouches back down behind the boxes, out of sight.
22:48:01 <@Ralith> "Should we wake him and try to get him to shift?"
22:48:18 <@Sam> "I dunno... maybe at least wake him..."
22:48:33 <@Sam> "Shift... depends on what goes on and how much energy he has."
22:48:42 <@Ralith> "I think it might be best if he slept if he can."
22:48:50 <@Ralith> "Conserves energy."
22:49:08 <@Lupin> "Yeah, but for now it would be really bad if anyone saw him like this."
22:49:41 <@Sam> "Yup..."
22:49:42 <@Ralith> "Which is why I want to get him shifted."
22:50:00 <+Veruth> Veruth attempts to peer around the officer to see what's going on in the alley
22:50:40 <@Sam> "Why is nothing easy?"
22:50:59 <@Ralith> (Veruth, /me, remember?)
22:51:01 <@Lupin> "Because that wouldn't be fun."
22:51:06 * Ralith grins.
22:51:10 <@Ralith> "'course."
22:51:17 <+Veruth> (sorry, I'll remember that)
22:51:57 <@Ralith> (don't worry about it)
22:52:06 * Sam looks over to the Jeep to see if he can tell what's going on over there.
22:52:26 <@Sam> (Wheee... argument with the roomy)
22:54:02 <@Ralith> (you need to win )
22:54:10 <@Lupin> (Heh)
22:54:18 * Ralith peeks around a box
22:54:28 * Sam squints
22:54:32 <@A627> (roll hearing)
22:54:39 <@Aki> !d20+9 Hear stuff
22:54:39 <+Lycaon> Aki rolled d20 + 9 for a total of 26 Hear stuff
22:54:43 <@Aki> (woo)
22:54:47 <@Lupin> !d20+11 what did you say?
22:54:47 <+Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 + 11 for a total of 26 what did you say?
22:54:55 <@Aki> (double woo)
22:56:04 <@Ralith> !d20+9.5 hearing
22:56:04 <+Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 9.5 for a total of 11.5 hearing
22:56:07 <@Ralith> (crap.)
22:56:19 <@Sam> !d20+8 hearing
22:56:19 <+Lycaon> Sam rolled d20 + 8 for a total of 12 hearing
22:56:23 * Ralith grumbles about human ears
22:56:29 * Sam nods
22:56:51 <@Lupin> "That was a woman..."
22:57:11 <@Sam> "It's still getting louder... the traffic."
22:57:14 <@Ralith> "Doesn't tell us much."
22:57:17 * Ralith looks surprised.
22:57:18 <@Sam> (/me is losing the battle)
22:57:18 <@A627> There is still a bed squeaking near the alley behind some wall.
22:57:29 <@Ralith> "Hm."
22:57:31 * Veruth ignores the officer and walks toward the opening of the alley alley
22:57:39 <@Ralith> "Probably just usual traffic fluctuations."
22:57:53 <@A627> A human enters the alley.
22:58:05 * Sam turns to look at the human.
22:58:08 <@Ralith> "s***. They're coming down here."
22:58:11 * Aki keeps behind the boxes.
22:58:13 * Ralith drop to the ground
22:58:16 <@Sam> "Stay calm."
22:58:18 <@Ralith> (drops*)
22:58:35 * Ralith whispers, "More importantly, stay quiet."
22:58:40 <@Ralith> "And hidden."
22:59:03 * Sam stares at the human figure.
22:59:20 <@A627> (the human is Veruth)
22:59:31 <@Sam> (uh huh)
22:59:40 <@A627> (for his knowledge)
22:59:40 * Lupin whispers "Great, just what we need, more people."
22:59:46 * Sam watches his every move.
22:59:50 * Veruth looks around for the source of the noise
22:59:50 * Ralith does the same
23:00:35 <@A627> (what noise?)
23:00:44 * Sam remains mostly still.
23:01:28 * Ralith does his best to be completely still, breathing shallowly
23:02:48 * Sam eyeballs the human some more, waiting for him to do something.
23:03:20 * Veruth steps further into the alley, still searching for anything unusual
23:03:22 * Ralith observes the human as best he can from where he is.
23:03:37 * A627 lurches awake in a bout of coughing, blood coming from his lips.
23:03:51 * Ralith sighs.
23:03:59 * Lupin mutters, "Great."
23:04:00 * Aki would curse if he could
23:04:09 * Sam listens to A627 but does not move his eyes from the human figure.
23:04:17 * Veruth jumps at the sudden noise and turns toward it's source
23:04:30 <@Sam> (gotta go soon, final answer :/)
23:04:30 * Ralith slowly and carefully moves over to A627
23:04:35 <@Ralith> (crap!)
23:04:42 <@Ralith> (I was hoping we'd finally do the stadium thing tonight)
23:04:47 * Veruth slowly advances in the direction of the noise
23:04:49 <@A627> (aye)
23:04:52 <@Sam> (:|)
23:05:00 <@Lupin> (:/)
23:05:06 <+Veruth> (sorry If I slowed you down too much)
23:05:13 <@Sam> (no not at all)
23:05:24 * A627 wipes his blood from his mouth and wheezes.
23:05:27 <@Sam> (this game takes a while)
23:05:59 * Sam watches the human come into better view.
23:06:12 * A627 lays back down, eyes open.
23:06:44 <@Sam> (2 minutes)
23:07:05 * Ralith whispers "s***, he's not breathing."
23:07:26 * Ralith does his best to perform some variant of CPR
23:07:33 * Sam turns to Ralith, concerned.
23:07:43 <@A627> (roll medical Ralith)
23:07:51 <@Ralith> !d20+9.5 medic!
23:07:51 <+Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 9.5 for a total of 29.5 medic!
23:07:53 <@Sam> (gotta vanish into the Aether now)
23:07:54 <@Ralith> (:D)
23:07:55 <@Lupin> (whispered) "Oh crap."
23:07:59 <@Ralith> (damn)
23:08:00 <@A627> (later Sam)
23:08:03 <@Sam> (c ya'll)
23:08:08 <@Ralith> (be here tomorrow )
23:08:17 <@Aki> (bye)
23:08:21 <@Sam> (you guys need to start earlier wink wink )
23:08:23 <@Sam> (:P)
23:08:56 <@Ralith> (we were here for hours )
23:09:11 <+Veruth> "is someone back there?"
23:09:11 <+Veruth> (bye)
23:09:11 <+Veruth> (uh oh, reconnecting)
23:09:57 * Lupin remains silent.
23:10:15 * Ralith whispers, "If we remain silent he'll just come back here to investigate. Lupin, can you go tell him something?"
23:10:43 * Lupin whispers back to Ralith "Like what?"
23:10:54 <+Veruth> (what does that mean for tonight's game?)
23:11:23 <@Lupin> (still whispered) "What does he look like?"
23:11:26 <@Ralith> (we won't get as far as we hoped to, but we can go on as long)
23:11:35 <@Ralith> (can I see him from here, baph?)
23:11:40 <@A627> (it keeps going until we reach 3 players or until I go to sleep)
23:11:50 <@Ralith> (below three*)
23:11:55 <@A627> (is anyone keeping eyes down the alley)
23:12:06 * Ralith whispers, "I don't know. Say we're checking on some meter or cleaning up trash or something."
23:12:12 <+Veruth> (I'm lagging upwards of thirty seconds, I only just now saw all that)
23:12:17 * Ralith looks back towards the car.
23:12:34 <@Ralith> (
23:12:35 <@Ralith> [21:12] --- Ping reply from Veruth : 1.60 second(s))
23:13:03 <+Veruth> (what? it just said +30 )
23:13:15 * Lupin peeks out from their hiding place and looks around.
23:13:29 <@Ralith> (don't trust the lagmeter)
23:13:38 <@Ralith> ([21:13] --- Ping reply from Veruth : 6.60 second(s))
23:13:43 <@Ralith> (you're fast enough for this)
23:14:07 <@Lupin> ([23:13] * Ping reply from Veruth: 7.56 second(s) Not so bad)
23:15:09 <@Ralith> (baph, am I going to see anything?)
23:15:36 <@A627> (sry)
23:16:00 <@A627> You notice, with the sound of traffic over everything, that the jeep engine is no longer running.
23:16:17 * Ralith whispers, "If you're going to say anything, now's the time."
23:16:39 * Veruth steps toward the pile of crates where he last heard to sound
23:17:14 <+Veruth> (sorry, I keep rejecting everything I start to type. I'll just leave it as is from now on)
23:17:39 <@A627> (?? just type man.)
23:17:42 <@Ralith> (you're way too worried )
23:19:03 <@A627> The human is getting closer...
23:19:15 <@Ralith> (am I having any success with my natural 20 and A627?)
23:20:19 <@A627> The alley is reallydark.
23:20:25 * Ralith looks a bit desperate. "This isn't doing any good."
23:20:25 <@A627> The human is a few feet from the crates.
23:20:52 <@Ralith> "f***, do what you can, Lupin."
23:20:55 * Lupin whispers. "I don't know I don't think there is anything I could tell him that would make him go away."
23:21:06 * Ralith wipes his mouth just in case and stands.
23:21:10 <@Ralith> "Hello?"
23:21:57 <@Ralith> (cue Veruth)
23:21:58 * Veruth jumps in surprise
23:22:10 <@Ralith> (I'm wearing emergency worker clothing, btw.)
23:22:26 <+Veruth> "is everything all right back there?"
23:22:47 <@A627> You two are standing a few feet apart.
23:23:17 * Veruth tries to see around Ralith
23:23:18 <@Ralith> "Er, yes, thanks."
23:23:35 * Ralith tries not to look like he's blocking Veruth's field of view.
23:23:41 <@Ralith> (while doing exactly that, that is.)
23:25:10 <+Veruth> "are you sure?, it sounded like somebody's not doing too well. I think I should take a look"
23:25:23 * Veruth tries to walk around Ralith
23:25:45 * Ralith gestures at his clothing, then hurridley stops Veruth. "We're handling it alright, thanks, don't want to take any of your time."
23:26:27 * Ralith realises something.
23:27:02 <@Ralith> "Er... do you have medical experience?"
23:27:11 * Lupin looks at Ralith, impaitently.
23:27:31 <+Veruth> (am I waiting for you?)
23:27:32 <+Veruth> (or should I continue?)
23:27:41 <@Ralith> (respond)
23:27:53 <@A627> (Veruth what is your occupation? If it fits medically, then yes, you have experience)
23:28:14 <@Ralith> (He did imply that he could help.)
23:28:28 <@A627> (yeah How does Registered Nurse sound?)
23:28:45 <@Ralith> (just say yes )
23:29:04 <+Veruth> (ok)
23:29:41 <+Veruth> "I'm a registered nurse downtown"
23:29:42 <@A627> (go fer it you're an RN)
23:30:11 <+Veruth> "Let me see what the problem is"
23:30:11 <@Ralith> "Um, this is a longshot, but do you happen to have any equipment onhand?"
23:30:18 * Ralith continues to be in Veruth's way.
23:31:11 <@Ralith> (f***, parents are going psycho. Can we pause for twenty minutes?)
23:31:33 <+Veruth> "Not with me, all that stays at the clinic"
23:31:59 <+Veruth> (I'm fine with it, it'll help me get my thoughts in order)
23:32:08 <@Ralith> (great, bbsish)
23:33:58 <+Veruth> (Odd, I didn't think I'd be that nervous about this. my hands are actually shaking. I don't know what my deal is)
23:34:14 <+Veruth> (I even feel better about it now
23:34:29 -!- Vilkacis-school is now known as Vilkacis
23:35:00 <@Aki> (hehe. Hiyas Vilk)
23:35:06 <@Vilkacis> (Hiya')
23:35:14 <@A627> (Hiya Vilk)
23:35:19 <+Veruth> (hey)
23:35:22 <@Vilkacis> (I have some things to do before joining in, including reading whatever it is you've done so far.)
23:35:30 <@Lupin> (Hey Vilkacis )
23:35:31 <@A627> (sounds good)
23:35:45 <@Lupin> (We were in a bit of a break, I thought.)

23:45:54 <@Vilkacis> (I have to start a CVS repository for my group and upload some code, send some e-mail, then read the logs and I'm in)

23:50:50 <+Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 9.5 for a total of 23.5 hearing
23:51:26 * Ralith 's eyes stay focused on Veruth. "Lupin, we've got two choices here--"
23:51:38 * Ralith 's attention returns properly to Veruth.
23:51:49 <@Ralith> "That was a shotgun. Why did somebody just cock a shotgun?"
23:52:23 <@Ralith> (*beeps Veruth*)
23:53:04 * Veruth looks around in alarm
23:53:10 <+Veruth> "shotgun!"
23:53:17 <+Veruth> (?*)
23:53:18 <@Ralith> "Oh, it's not with you."
23:53:27 <@Ralith> "Well. That's not good."
23:53:37 <@Ralith> (*beeps Lupin*)
23:53:48 <@Lupin> (*beeps Ralith*)
23:53 #paradice2: < Ralith> Lupin, beep.
23:54:17 <@Ralith> "Well, Lupin, I'm about to take the risky choice that's good for A627. Shall I go ahead?"
23:54:48 <@Lupin> "Yeah, he has no pulse, and not much else to lose."
23:55:20 <@A627> A slight breeze whips through the alley.
23:55:22 <@Ralith> (er, wait, do you get what I mean?)
23:55:33 * Ralith sniffs, and looks annoyed.
23:55:41 <@Ralith> (As in, let Veruth see A627.)
23:55:48 <@Lupin> (Yeah,)
23:55:54 <@A627> A light pops out by the jeep, a woman holding long things and a light on the end of one of them looks really menacing.
23:55:58 <@Lupin> (That's what I figured.)
23:56:22 <@Ralith> "Alright. Sorry for the shock, whatever your name is, but I do believe we've put you in danger, and we could use your help."
23:56:42 <@Ralith> "If I were you I'd get back here /now/."
23:57:04 * Ralith swiftly moves back behind the boxes, crouching, and trying to get a look at the woman
23:57:07 <+Veruth> " I'll do what I can, but I'm no doctor"
23:57:24 <@Ralith> "You don't understand quite yet. Just get back here."
23:57:30 <@Ralith> "Do I have to drag you?"
23:57:41 <@A627> !d20+10 Fire rifle at Ralith.
23:57:41 <+Lycaon> A627 rolled d20 + 10 for a total of 11 Fire rifle at Ralith.
23:57:56 * Veruth moves behind the boxes
23:58:09 <@A627> A bang is heard from the mouth of the alley.
23:58:17 <@Lupin> "s***."
23:58:18 <@Ralith> "s***! We're in deeper than I thought!"
23:58:22 <@A627> Ralith roll dodge

23:58:43 * Ralith flattens himself to the ground.
23:58:43 <@A627> Next action.
23:58:58 * Lupin drops to the ground.
23:59:16 <@Ralith> "Person, A627. A627, person."
23:59:16 * Aki growls in frustration, getting as low to the ground as he can.
23:59:16 * Ralith gestures from the ground.
23:59:16 <@A627> Veruth, what are you doing?
23:59:16 <@Ralith> "Now GET DOWN!"
23:59:23 <@A627> This person is moving forward, firing .
23:59:30 <@A627> She turns her sights on Veruth.
23:59:36 <@Ralith> "f***!"
23:59:49 * Veruth drops to the ground and tries to get behind the crates
23:59:50 <@A627> !d20+10 Fire at Veruth
23:59:50 <+Lycaon> A627 rolled d20 + 10 for a total of 24 Fire at Veruth
23:59:57 <@Aki> (Eeep.. O.o)
00:00:06 <+Veruth> (not good)
00:00:18 <@A627> Veruth, roll dodge
00:00:30 <+Veruth> !d20 dodge
00:00:30 <+Lycaon> Veruth rolled d20 for a total of 2 dodge
00:00:32 <@A627> (roll really high)
00:00:41 <@Aki> (Yikes...)
00:00:41 <@Ralith> (oh fsck)
00:00:49 <@Lupin> (Ouch)
00:00:52 <@A627> As you drop, a rifle round goes through your abdomen.
00:00:55 <+Veruth> (the bot is out to get me or something)
00:00:57 <@Ralith> (OW)
00:01:02 <@A627> Blood spatters on Ralith
00:01:05 <@Ralith> (yeah, the bot's always against us.)
00:01:10 * Ralith jumps up into a crouch, grabs Veruth, and starts dashing toward the other end of the alley.
00:01:13 <@A627> (you'll be doing better than A627)
00:01:16 <@Ralith> "Let's get out of here!"
00:01:17 <@Lupin> (Thats normal)
00:01:33 * Veruth screams in pain
00:01:55 <@Ralith> (now THIS is escalation)
00:01:56 <@A627> The woman is still advancing, lookinjg more deadly then menacing.
00:02:06 * Lupin starts running with Ralith
00:02:14 * Ralith searches frantically for cover
00:02:20 * Aki follows
00:02:44 <@A627> Cover is the buildings to the far end of the alley, and around the corner.
00:02:48 <@A627> On the next street.
00:03:26 <@Ralith> (is A627 himself in the aether?)
00:03:40 <@Ralith> (if not, this is the second time we've forgotten him.)
00:03:54 <@A627> (in a way. his body is still there, his eyes are open, but nobody's home)
00:04:14 <@Ralith> (wait, he's /dead/ now? crap.)
00:04:20 <@A627> You reach the end of the alley.
00:04:23 <@Ralith> (or is he just all but it?)
00:04:31 <@Lupin> (He's had no pulse for several minutes.)
00:04:38 <@Ralith> (ah.)
00:04:48 <@Ralith> (Can we assume Veruth didn't see A627 in the chaos?)
00:04:53 -!- Figarou [Figarou@*.satx.res.rr.com] has quit []
00:05:16 <@A627> At the end of the alley, do you split left, right or go into the street?
00:05:25 * Ralith dashes right
00:05:29 * Aki follows
00:05:30 * Lupin follows
00:05:50 <@Ralith> (should Veruth roll sight for having noticed A627 or something?)
00:06:02 <@A627> (nah... he's human, it's dark)
00:06:07 <@Ralith> (cool.)
00:06:14 <@Ralith> (btw, your nick is now permanently out of date)
00:06:28 <@Aki> (haha)
00:06:35 <@Lupin> (Heh)
00:06:36 <@A627> You're running down a crowded street carrying a bleeding person.
00:06:42 * Ralith looks back
00:06:49 <@Aki> (What should he change it to? Scary Lady with rifle?)
00:06:57 <@Ralith> (hehe)
00:06:57 <@Aki> (:P)
00:07:03 <@Lupin> "Who the hell was that?"
00:07:08 * Veruth clutches his stomach and screams in agony
00:07:13 <@Ralith> "Maybe related to those hunters."
00:07:31 <@Lupin> "And they tracked us all the way over here?"
00:07:33 * Ralith does his best to quiet Veruth
00:07:47 <@Ralith> "Well, people don't just start shooting at random people."
00:07:55 <@Lupin> "We need to call him an ambulance."
00:08:02 * Aki sighs
00:08:06 -!- A627 is now known as Baph
00:08:18 <@Ralith> "Phone. Right. Where's a phone?"
00:08:27 * Lupin looks around for a phone
00:08:30 <@Baph> The sidewalk has pedestrians freaking out
00:08:32 <@Ralith> (did I see anything significant when I looked back?)
00:08:38 <@Baph> they pull out there cell phones
00:09:07 <@Baph> calling friends, relatives, 911, friends relatives news, 911, 411 and 011491607523
00:09:18 * Ralith looks a bit relieved. "We may not need to phone anyone after all."
00:10:12 * Veruth tries to quiet, but is still in extreme pain
00:10:34 <@Ralith> (*pokes Baph* did I see anything?)
00:10:50 <@Baph> ack yes
00:11:13 <@Lupin> (brb)
00:11:34 <@Baph> You can hear the jeep start up at theendof the alley
00:11:43 <@Baph> Do you set Veruth down?
00:11:47 <@Baph> Medical rolls?
00:11:50 * Ralith sighs and slows to a halt.
00:11:57 <@Ralith> !d20+9.5 medic!
00:11:57 <+Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 9.5 for a total of 10.5 medic!
00:12:03 <@Ralith> (:P)
00:12:14 <@Baph> (wow 1)
00:12:20 <@Baph> (>_<)
00:12:21 <@Ralith> "If A627 wasn't dead already, he is now."
00:12:59 <@Lupin> "Yeah, what are we going to do about the body."
00:13:17 <@Vilkacis> (yummy)
00:13:49 <@Ralith> "Nothing we can do. If the hunter didn't take care of it, that is."
00:13:53 <@Baph> A blue jeep makes a right turn onto the street you're on a block away.
00:14:01 <@Ralith> "Ohshit."
00:14:05 * Ralith looks for cover.
00:14:30 <@Baph> There are some businesses that are open.
00:14:33 <@Baph> Bars, etc
00:14:42 * Veruth moans in pain, keeping quiet as best he can
00:14:47 * Ralith looks for the nearest open establishment.
00:15:11 <@Baph> The blue jeep turns left to park across the sreet.
00:15:22 <@Baph> There is a bar you're almost in front of.
00:15:43 <@Ralith> "In here!"
00:16:14 * Lupin ducks into the bar
00:16:19 * Ralith pulls Veruth up again, supporting most of his weight, and enters.
00:16:43 * Aki follows after, hoping noone in the bar will recognize a wolf...
00:17:15 * Ralith looks around inside
00:17:42 <@Baph> The music is loud
00:17:57 <@Baph> The bartender stares at your group in shock.
00:18:15 <@Ralith> (customer density, illumination, layout?)
00:18:31 <@Baph> The bar is kinda thin tonight
00:18:34 <@Baph> there are a few at the bar
00:18:42 * Veruth fights to remain conscious as he loses blood
00:18:59 <@Baph> the customers are backing up and away
00:19:12 * Lupin looks at the bartender "He's been shot! We need you to call the police!"
00:19:12 <@Baph> you can hear sirens
00:19:22 <@Ralith> "An ambulance would be choice, too."
00:19:37 <@Ralith> "Looks like another phone call may not be necessary, though."
00:19:53 <@Baph> You start to see emergency lights flickering through the windows
00:19:57 <@Baph> the bar is a dark sort of place.
00:20:06 <@Lupin> "Oh good."
00:20:10 * Ralith looks out a window, looking for the woman and the official vehicles
00:21:03 <@Baph> An ambulance pulls up in front of the bar
00:21:10 <@Baph> The blue jeep is no longer across the street.
00:21:10 <@Ralith> "Great, let's go."
00:21:26 * Ralith pushes back out the door and moves to the ambulance as fast as he can.
00:21:30 <@Lupin> "Yeah."
00:21:50 <@Baph> The EMTs get out, kinda surprised to see an EMT with no ambulance carrying a GSW around.
00:23:24 <@Ralith> (GSW?)
00:23:25 * Lupin ignores the EMT's
00:23:29 * Veruth looks relieved as he spots the emergency vehicles, then continues grimacing and moaning in pain
00:23:30 <@Lupin> (Gunshot Wound)
00:23:33 <@Baph> (Gun Shot Wound)
00:23:36 <@Ralith> (ah)
00:23:47 * Ralith pauses, looking to Lupin.
00:25:53 <@Baph> The EMT's help Ralith load Veruth into the ambulance
00:25:55 <@Ralith> (err... I didn't do that (yet))
00:26:17 <@Ralith> (I was waiting for some hint from Lupin, who was ignoring them for reasons uknown)
00:26:25 <@Baph> (ahh)
00:26:30 <@Ralith> (Lupin, mind being a little more present? )
00:26:46 <@Lupin> (No, I was ignoring them as we loaded him into the ambulance.)
00:26:54 <@Ralith> (oh )
00:26:58 <@Ralith> (nevermind then)
00:27:05 <@Baph> (so, you're just holding the ...nm)
00:27:14 * Ralith climbs in after Veruth)
00:27:19 <@Ralith> (minus the ))
00:27:40 * Veruth bleeds
00:27:53 <@Lupin> !bleed Veruth
00:27:54 <+Lycaon> * Lupin bleeds all over Veruth.
00:27:56 <@Baph> The EMTs ask, Mind if you go in the police car? This'll require a police report.
00:28:03 <@Lupin> (Bah)
00:28:16 <+Veruth> (I'm running out of ways to say "ouch, I've been shot" )
00:28:21 <@Baph> Two police cruisers pull up behind the ambulance. Traffic clears.
00:28:33 * Ralith again looks to Lupin.
00:28:34 <@Vilkacis> (Okay, I'm going to start reading what's happened so far, gimme' a few minutes)
00:28:38 <@Ralith> (great)
00:28:49 <@Ralith> (Veruth, baph'll give you an oppertunity to do something soon enough, I suspect)
00:29:02 * Lupin looks worriedly at Ralith.
00:29:10 * Ralith looks uncertain.
00:29:11 <+Veruth> (I'm not complaining, I'm just explaining my inactivity)
00:29:16 <@Lupin> "Sure, we'll go."
00:29:20 <@Ralith> (understood.)
00:29:24 * Ralith nods and climbs down
00:29:54 <@Baph> A chicago city policeman loads you into his car.
00:29:59 <@Baph> "Downtown we go."
00:30:14 <@Aki> (er, what about me...? O.o)
00:30:39 * Ralith pauses, not yet in the car.
00:30:45 <@Baph> Another police man asks, "What about that dog?"
00:30:49 * Ralith gives Lupin a worried look and glances at Aki
00:31:06 <@Ralith> "He's mine."
00:31:31 <@Baph> "Well, get that husky into the car!"
00:31:42 <@Baph> Another cop asks "Is that an albino husky?"
00:31:49 <@Ralith> "Er, yeah."
00:32:05 * Ralith makes embarassing noises and beckons Aki
00:32:07 <@Baph> "See? I told you so!"
00:32:29 * Aki walks over to Ralith.
00:32:29 <@Baph> "Oh, and he needs a leash. That'll be a $40 ticket when we get to it."
00:33:06 * Lupin mumbles to himself "$320"
00:33:08 <@Ralith> "Sorry, he jumped out of the car during the shooting."
00:33:43 <@Baph> "sure sure, I'm sure it happens all the time."
00:34:00 * Ralith climbs into the car and beckons Aki
00:34:14 <@Baph> The cop tries to beckon Aki into the car
00:34:16 * Aki climbs into the car after Ralith.
00:34:28 * Ralith pulls the door shut.
00:35:36 <@Baph> The cop gets into the drivers seat and takes you to Precinct 17, and he tells you this as he does so.
00:36:27 <@Baph> Veruth, the ambulance is driving you to the hosptial and they're taking you to the hospital
00:37:18 * Ralith whispers to Lupin, "I have no idea what we're going to tell them."
00:37:31 <@Ralith> "And we need to get out of here within a few hours."
00:37:43 <@Baph> The buildings go by as you drive down the street, make a turn, and drive down another street.
00:38:38 <@Baph> The cops start talking about the game tomorrow.
00:38:57 <@Baph> "So, Joe, you going to tomorrow's football game?" He says into the radio.
00:39:09 <@Baph> The radio responds "Eh, no. I've gotta work. You?"
00:39:16 <@Baph> "Yeah. It's gonna be great."
00:39:44 <@Baph> "Hey man, remember to bring some protection. I don't want to see you wind up like Dave without at least a vest."
00:40:04 <@Baph> "Joe, it's ok. I'll be packing. Just like everyone else in that stadium."
00:40:04 <+Veruth> (It looks like the focus is more on them. Am I just out of the picture for a while?)
00:40:14 * Ralith looks curious.
00:40:31 * Ralith doesn't ask anything for fear of drawing attention
00:40:34 <@Baph> (ack yeah - problem with split groups - they wrap your body up in bandages and stick you on an IV)
00:40:48 <@Ralith> (do football games /normally/ involve that much weaponry?)
00:40:55 <@Lupin> (Heh)
00:40:57 <+Veruth> (ok, got it)
00:41:05 <@Baph> "Man, they really need to revoke the second amendment."
00:41:09 <@Baph> "Why's that?"
00:41:21 * Lupin makes a note of the large amount of weaponry, and thinks about changing their plans.
00:41:36 <@Baph> "Too many guns. That place needs a metal detector and be run like an airport."
00:41:57 * Ralith looks a bit worried.
00:42:08 <@Baph> The radio blips in. "Flash flash flash, we have a body in the alley near Smokey's Bar."
00:42:18 <@Lupin> "Interesting, lots of excited fans with guns."
00:42:25 * Ralith whispers, "Still our best bet. We won't get shot if we portray ourselves humanly enough."
00:42:32 <@Baph> A sarcastic cop, somewhere answers, "What kind of body? Female? Male?"
00:42:47 * Ralith nods, speaking in a normal volume "Yeah. I can see why you're worried."
00:43:02 * Lupin gets this odd, closed expression.
00:43:04 <@Baph> "Hell if I know. It's grey... and bloody, it's got fur, one second, I just need to take a look at the face."
00:43:15 <@Baph> "..."
00:43:38 -!- Vilkacis is now known as Aaron
00:43:47 <@Baph> The cop up front ignores the radio "Yeah, can't have any peaceful fun around here. In Chicago, you get shot for wearing the wrong color clothes. How gay is that?"
00:44:00 <@Baph> The radio blips back on.
00:44:07 <@Baph> Aaron is now riding with you in the cop car
00:44:21 <@Baph> "Oh. My. God. It's a f*** werewolf.
00:44:23 <@Ralith> (hehe)
00:44:32 * Ralith speaks loudly. "Wow, didn't realize it was that bad around here."
00:44:40 <@Aaron> (Is that in reaction to A627 or me )
00:44:45 <@Baph> "This is control. Would you stop with the prank bull crap?"
00:44:57 <@Baph> (Aaron, you're either in wolf or human form, clothed)
00:45:07 <@Ralith> "I hope you all will be out in force for the game."
00:45:09 <@Aaron> (Human, I would think)
00:45:15 <@Lupin> "So that's what that was."
00:45:52 <@Baph> "Control, I'm serious. There ain't no mask on this puppy. The ears were cut off, that spot is bloody. The body is riddled with.. bandages... covering... wow."
00:46:29 <@Baph> "Control, it took a lot more than one bullet to kill this thing. It didn't die in the alley, I don't think. But, it was given medical support.. the body is still warm."
00:46:33 * Ralith gives up and stops talking.
00:47:06 <@Baph> The driver responds (because I like being four people at once) "We tend to. High security is a must at them things."
00:47:52 <@Lupin> "But he had ears when we were looking at him..."
00:48:09 <@Ralith> "It sounds like you have trouble keeping the games safe despite that."
00:48:15 <@Baph> The driver responds "You saw what that cop is talking about?"
00:48:34 * Ralith looks a bit worried.
00:48:38 <@Baph> "Oh, Dave was mugged years ago. We have long memories."
00:48:45 <@Lupin> "Yeah, we were walking by when we heard something in the alley."
00:48:56 <@Baph> "Oh."
00:48:56 <@Ralith> "Oh, ok, so the games are pretty safe these days?"
00:49:22 <@Lupin> "We go in, find that, then the guy comes by, then some crazyass chick starts shooting everything."
00:49:28 <@Baph> "Yeah, nobody gets stupid at games usually."
00:49:59 <@Baph> "Did the crazy chick shoot that guy in the ambulance or the that?"
00:50:03 <@Ralith> "That's relieving."
00:50:20 <@Ralith> "It was hard to tell what she meant to shoot. She didn't seem to be very discriminating."
00:50:36 <@Baph> "Hmm."
00:50:49 <@Ralith> "She drove a blue jeep, if it helps."
00:51:02 <@Baph> "Thanks. It does. Ok. We're here."
00:51:13 <@Baph> He pulls into a parkinglot next to a concrete building.
00:51:17 <@Baph> Precinct 17.
00:51:35 <@Lupin> "Well he wasn't doing very good when we found him."
00:51:37 <@Baph> He gets out and opens a door of the car for you.
00:51:48 <@Baph> "He was still alive when you found him?"
00:52:01 * Aki hops out of the car.
00:52:13 * Lupin gets up out of the car after Ralith
00:52:13 <@Baph> "Ahh, yes, leash."
00:52:29 <@Baph> The cop goes to the trunk, opens it up, and pulls out a K-9 leash.
00:52:31 * Aaron exits the car, after the others.
00:52:44 <@Lupin> "Kinda, he had a pulse, then it disappeared."
00:52:45 <@Baph> He hands it to Ralith
00:52:58 <@Baph> "I'm sorry to hear that."
00:53:08 <@Baph> "Could you leash your husky?"
00:53:13 <@Lupin> (Hehe, I love how I'm not liying about that.)
00:53:26 <@Baph> (that's a pretty tragic thing to lie about)
00:53:34 <@Lupin> (lying)
00:53:39 * Ralith latches the leash to itself in a noose, then drops it around Aki's neck, doing his best to hide the apologetic look from the officer.
00:54:20 <@Lupin> (Technically he had a pulse when we met him, and it did disappear, just much much later.)
00:54:33 <@Baph> "Ok. We're going to have you come inside. You're going to fill out a police report before you can go, and give us a way to reach you. if we need more information."
00:54:45 <@Baph> (lol)
00:54:56 <@Ralith> "Alright."
00:54:57 <+Veruth> (heh, true)
00:55:16 <@Baph> The cop beckons for you to follow him into the police precinct.
00:55:25 <@Baph> Other cops are entering and leaving, sparsely.
00:55:25 <@Ralith> (*wonders how Veruth is going to get back into the game, as we have no interest in him any longer.*)
00:55:35 * Ralith follows.
00:55:39 * Aki follows
00:55:47 <@Baph> The cop leads you through a busy office.
00:55:51 <+Veruth> (I was wondering about that too)
00:55:52 <@Baph> (I have my wily ways)
00:55:58 <@Baph> (Veruth, you're in good hands)
00:55:59 * Aaron is following, too, of course.
00:56:28 <+Veruth> (I don't doubt you, It does seem kinda tricky though)
00:56:40 <@Baph> He goes into a room with small cubicles (like a library) around the walls and a chair at each one.
00:56:54 <@Baph> (Tricky it is, but doable too)
00:57:29 <@Lupin> "Okay."
00:57:54 <@Baph> "Have a seat, and don't talk in here. Otherwise you might have to re-do your police reports."
00:58:01 <@Baph> "This is faster tahn doing it one at a time."
00:58:18 * Aaron chooses a seat and sits down in it.
00:58:19 <@Baph> He passes out blank statements.
00:58:40 <@Baph> He doesn't pass one out to the husky.
00:58:51 <@Lupin> (Hehe)
00:58:54 <@Aki> (:P)
00:58:59 * Ralith looks worried.
00:59:03 * Ralith decides to be sparse.
00:59:04 <@Aaron> (* Aki is pouting )
00:59:18 <@Baph> (Ok. I'm done. You now have a Sworn Statement sheet in front of you.)
00:59:22 * Lupin puts down what he said in the car.
00:59:30 * Ralith puts down what Lupin said in the car, paraphrased.
00:59:35 * Aaron reads through it carefully.
00:59:43 <@Ralith> (o.O(
00:59:44 <@Ralith> )
00:59:50 <@Baph> (fill your statements out on the forum.... I'll read em later. )
00:59:53 <@Ralith> (read through a blank sheet?)
00:59:54 * Baph needs sleep
00:59:57 <@Ralith> ( )
01:00:02 <@Baph> (read whatever you write)
01:00:05 <@Lupin> (Aww)
01:00:10 <@Aaron> (He said it was a Sworn Statement sheet, so not blank.)
01:00:17 <@Baph> (lol)
01:00:25 <@Ralith> (
01:00:25 <@Ralith> [22:58] <Baph> He passes out blank statements.)
01:00:30 <@Aaron> (Exactly)
01:00:37 <@Ralith> (ok, so what's on it?)
01:00:46 <@Baph> Sworn Statement
01:00:48 <@Aaron> (Something telling us what to fill out.)
01:01:09 <@Aaron> (Probably a place to sign, too)

[Lupin]

22:48:42 -!- Baphnedia changed the topic of #paradice to: Silo 17 in progress. Lobby in #paradice2. || We have two rules: Treat everyone here with respect, and don't eat sentient beings no matter how tasty they may be with tobasco sauce.
22:48:53 * Baphnedia wonders who's here.
22:49:07 * Veruth is here
22:49:09 * Lone_Wolf will not be
22:49:13 * Vilkacis will not be playing immediately.
22:49:54 <@Lupin> :/
22:50:12 <@Baphnedia> Well, that's two for the moment.
22:50:20 <@Baphnedia> Aki?
22:50:34 * Lone_Wolf hands Baphnedia the poking stick
22:50:48 * Baphnedia smiles and pokes Aki with it.
22:50:59 <@Aki> Ow
22:51:01 <@Aki> !Aki
22:51:02 * Lycaon stabs Vilkacis
22:51:10 <@Aki> :p
22:51:13 * Vilkacis cries T_T
22:51:14 <@Vilkacis> So mean...
22:51:25 * Veruth takes another ibuprofen
22:51:35 <@Baphnedia> hehe
22:51:43 <@Baphnedia> Veruth, you need meds for that GSW.
22:51:44 <@Baphnedia> .
22:51:49 <@Lupin> Heh
22:51:50 <@Baphnedia> _
22:51:54 <@Baphnedia> _..
22:51:57 <@Baphnedia> .._
22:52:00 <@Baphnedia> ._
22:52:04 <@Baphnedia> __.
22:52:14 * Baphnedia can't spell anyting with Morse Code.
22:52:41 <@Baphnedia> You find yoruself staring at a blank Sworn Statement sheet.
22:53:00 <@Baphnedia> The cop left the room and closed the door behind him with an audible click.
22:53:15 <@Baphnedia> There is a clock ticking on the wall.
22:54:15 <@Baphnedia> After a few moments, the cop returns, and looks around the room. Sighing, "We'll have to do paperwork later. The patient has to identify which of you shot him. So, we're going to take all of you to the hospital first.
22:54:33 <@Baphnedia> "Follow me."
22:54:37 -!- Baphnedia is now known as Joe
22:55:23 * Lupin gets up "Er, none of us shot him..."
22:56:06 <@Joe> The cop moves back through the door, beckoning you to follow. "That's what everyone says. The patient will tell us for sure."
22:57:47 <@Joe> (at the moment, only the players that are on are 'in the room', we need not wait on Vilkacis or Ralith_, and Veruth is in the hospital.
22:58:27 <@Ralith_> (wow, talk about timing)
22:58:54 <@Joe> (yeah, now... is everyone waiting for me?)
22:59:03 * Lupin starts following the officer.
22:59:28 * Aki follows after
22:59:40 -!- Ralith_ is now known as Ralith
22:59:57 * Ralith looks a bit annoyed and follows
22:59:59 <@Joe> The officer is headed towards the front of the precinct, where he leads you out through the glass doors. "Say, does your dog need to go before we go back in the car?"

[Lupin]

23:00:16 * Ralith glances at Aki
23:00:52 * Aki looks at Ralith
23:01:08 <@Joe> The officer looks at his car.
23:01:17 <@Ralith> "Probably not."
23:01:36 <@Joe> "I like your choice of words. If he makes a mess, you can clean it up."
23:01:48 * Joe opens the rear doors of the car for you to get in.
23:02:35 <@Lone_Wolf> (okay, night all)
23:02:39 <@Aki> (bye)
23:02:42 <@Joe> (Night Lone_Wolf)
23:02:45 <@Ralith> (cya.)
23:02:47 * Aki hops in the car
23:02:51 <@Lupin> (Good night)
23:02:58 * Ralith gets in.
23:03:18 <+Veruth> (night)
23:03:41 <@Joe> He waits for everyone to pile in the car, and gets in himself. The radio cackles to life with a short hiss.
23:03:43 * Lupin gest in as wll
23:04:02 <@Joe> "Control this is unit 354 moving to the hospital over,"
23:04:10 <@Lupin> (Grrr, windows is bluescreening on startup again.)
23:04:16 <@Joe> "Unit 354 what's your status?"
23:04:27 <@Ralith> (hehe)
23:04:34 <@Ralith> (*settles down in bed*)
23:04:34 <@Joe> (that sucks) "Alive, breathing, and hungry? You?"
23:04:56 -!- Vilkacis is now known as Vilkacis-busy
23:05:22 <@Joe> "OK. Can the smartass act and tell us your status."
23:05:40 <@Joe> In a toned down voice, Joe replies "Nominal, control."
23:05:56 <@Joe> He clicks off the radio. "I wonder what crawled up his..."
23:06:51 * Ralith doesn't look particularily amused, still annoyed by the accusation of having something to do with the shooting.
23:06:52 <@Joe> "anyway"
23:08:00 <@Joe> "This is part of the process. The docs didn't think that the guy that got shot would stay concious, but he did. Investigators have been harrassing him for a description, one that none of you fit. But, since you were there, and bloody, and the rest of it, we have to make sure that he doesn't recognize you as the shooter."
23:08:20 <@Ralith> "I suppose it makes sense."
23:08:59 <@Joe> "It does, but it's still stupid. I was never one for beaurocracy and now I'm in the middle of it."
23:09:21 <@Ralith> (oo. We have a cop we can manipulate...)
23:09:23 <@Joe> (Correction, you wrote your police report in the intervening time)
23:09:31 * Ralith looks a bit more relaxed.
23:10:01 <@Joe> "So, this is so funny. We haven't even checked your ID or gotten your names. Who are all of you?"
23:10:38 * Ralith hides a apprehensive look.
23:11:00 <@Ralith> (I probably would have a fake name worked out beforehand, at least from the time Lupin tried to get me to socialize with humans.)
23:11:05 <@Joe> The cop turns his attention to Lupin through the rearview.
23:11:30 <@Lupin> "Yeah, like I said, some crazy chick just came around the corner, and started shooting at us."
23:11:32 <@Joe> (use it then)
23:11:40 <@Ralith> (>.<)
23:12:09 <@Joe> "Yeah. She was using a helluva rifle too."
23:12:24 <@Ralith> "You could tell from the wound?"
23:13:02 <@Joe> "Partly that and the bullet got stuck in the wall of the bar."
23:13:16 <@Ralith> "Ah."
23:13:33 <@Joe> "Well, you can call me Joe. What's your name?"
23:13:45 <@Ralith> (he's talking to me?)
23:14:01 <@Joe> (yep)
23:14:05 <@Ralith> (crap.)
23:14:36 * Ralith pauses, then speaks hesitantly. "I'm Elliot."
23:15:26 <@Joe> "No wonder why you don't want to share your name. Almost as bad as Herbert."
23:15:39 <@Lupin> "I'm Nicholas."
23:16:09 * Ralith gives a resigned grin. "It gets me by."
23:16:18 <@Joe> (haha)
23:16:19 <@Ralith> "Too much trouble to change it, y'know?"
23:16:25 <@Joe> (lol)
23:17:10 <@Joe> "When we get there, one of you will have to stay with the dog. Speaking of, does he have a name? I won a bet tonight about albino huskies, and I intend to rub the loser's face in it."
23:17:49 <@Ralith> "Heh. What was it?"
23:17:52 <@Joe> You pass Smokey's Bar. There are still several squad cars on the scene, and it's now a cordoned-off crimescene.
23:18:10 <@Joe> "You're dogs name?"
23:18:18 <@Ralith> "The bet."
23:18:37 <@Lupin> "The dog's name is Ryan."
23:19:03 <@Lupin> (Why does windows have to be so difficult.)
23:19:06 <@Joe> "That's an interesting name. The bet was whether albino huskies exist at all. They're, kinda a myth y'see."
23:19:35 <@Joe> (If it were easy, tech support wouldn't have a job)
23:19:52 <@Ralith> "Ah. Well, Ryan's no myth, I can tell you that much."
23:20:18 <@Ralith> "As far as I know, in theory at least, it's possible for just about anything to turn out albino."
23:20:22 <@Joe> "Exactly. I won, he lost, and he owes me a case of beer."
23:20:54 * Lupin laughs.
23:21:00 <@Ralith> "Not bad at all."
23:21:38 <@Joe> You're driving up a short hill, where lawns replace businesses. You're on hospital grounds again, approaching a huge building, perhaps 20 stories tall.
23:22:11 <@Joe> "Ryan, what do we do with you?"
23:22:40 <@Joe> "When we get to the hospital, we can't just take you upstairs."
23:23:17 <@Ralith> "Didn't you say one of us should stay in the car with 'im?"
23:23:46 <@Joe> "Yeah, but you both have to go up to get ID'd by the patient.
23:24:33 <@Lupin> "Hm, that could be a problem."
23:24:35 <@Ralith> "He can behave himself if necessary; he's quite well trained."
23:24:48 <@Ralith> "I'm a bit of dog person, you see."
23:25:06 <@Lupin> (Ignore my line.)
23:25:10 <@Joe> "That's good. I'll see if the docs can bring him into a conference room with all of us in it."
23:25:29 <@Lupin> "Sounds good."
23:25:50 * Joe parks the car and turns off the engine, gets out and opens a rear door.
23:25:56 <@Joe> (Baphnedia is barely awake)
23:26:03 <@Joe> "Alright, git."
23:26:15 * Lupin gets out.
23:26:15 * Aki hops out of the car quickly
23:26:34 <@Joe> (Veruth, are you still here?)
23:26:47 <@Ralith> (*fires caffine dart*)
23:26:59 * Ralith gets out.
23:27:00 <+Veruth> (yep, I've been reading the whole time)
23:27:20 <@Joe> After watching the car doors close, Joe starts walking up to the hospital from the parking lot.
23:27:21 <+Veruth> (and I've got plenty of caffeine already)
23:27:35 <@Ralith> (I fired at baph )
23:27:46 <+Veruth> (oh)
23:28:09 * Lupin follows Joe
23:28:09 <@Joe> (good good - you're on a stretcher, and concious, and have had anesthetics for your abdomen)
23:28:27 <@Joe> Joe leads you through the hospital, and you arrive in a conference room, as he calls a doctor.
23:28:38 <@Joe> (I'm rushing a little :/ )
23:29:29 <@Joe> The conference room has a table with a few chairs. While Joe is on the phone in a short conversation with the doctor, he motions for you to sit down.
23:29:38 * Ralith takes a seat
23:29:50 * Lupin , having nothing better to do, sits.
23:30:32 * Aki sits on the floor
23:30:33 <@Joe> Joe takes a seat himself. "Should be any minute now."
23:30:45 * Ralith nudges Lupin and tilts his head slightly towards the camera
23:30:46 <@Joe> "Don't you ever pet your dog?"
23:31:21 <@Joe> There is a camera hanging from the ceiling in front of Ralith.
23:31:54 <@Ralith> "My mind's a bit scattered since that shooting."
23:32:00 * Ralith scratches Aki behind the ears
23:32:19 <@Joe> "I suppose so." he says to himself.
23:32:31 * Joe has the conversational skills of a desk.
23:32:48 * Lupin adjusts his seating so he's facing as far away from the camera as possible, without looking weird.
23:32:58 <@Joe> The conference room door opens once again as a doctor pushes the patient into the conference room.
23:33:22 * Ralith notes Lupin's movement and does the same.
23:33:44 <@Joe> "Don't like cameras? Just wait till the press gets word of tonight."
23:33:58 * Ralith looks a bit amused.
23:34:04 <@Lupin> "Tonight?"
23:34:30 <@Joe> The patient is wheeled and the stretcher stops, the doctor says "He's all yours," and walks out.
23:34:34 <@Ralith> "They'll probably forget it soon enough."
23:34:38 <@Joe> ..closing the door behind him.
23:34:45 * Veruth a flash of recognition passes veruth's face as he notices Lupin and Ralith
23:34:45 * Ralith stands and approaches Veruth.
23:34:51 <@Joe> "I hope so. I'd hate to be a hero for carting y'al around."
23:34:51 <@Ralith> "You all right?"
23:34:58 <@Joe> "stand back."
23:35:06 * Ralith looks a bit surprised but backs away.
23:35:09 * Joe gets between Ralith and Veruth.
23:35:10 * Lupin remains seated.
23:35:12 <+Veruth> "as well as I can be I suppose"
23:35:14 <@Ralith> "What?"
23:35:21 * Veruth also looks suprised
23:35:26 <@Ralith> "Do you think I'm going to attack him or something?"
23:35:39 <@Joe> "No offense, but the patient hasn't let me know that you're good company. Exactly.
23:35:49 * Ralith sighs and sits again.
23:36:00 <@Joe> "Uh, guy with the blown up stomach, did anyone in this room shoot you tonight?"
23:36:28 <@Joe> With a slight whrr, the camera pans back and fourth.
23:36:33 <@Ralith> (forth*)
23:36:40 <@Joe> (fifth)
23:36:48 <@Ralith> (continueth)
23:36:52 <+Veruth> "Shoot me? They saved me. It was that crazy b*tch with the machine gun that shot me."
23:37:13 * Lupin laughs again. "Yeah, what the hell was up with her?"
23:37:18 <+Veruth> (not sure about profanity rules here)
23:37:18 * Ralith gives Joe an I-told-you-so look.
23:37:27 <@Ralith> (just don't go overboard.)
23:37:46 <@Joe> "Ok ok. Just checking. I'll just stand in a corner." The camera whrrs as the officer moves to a corner and stops when he does.
23:37:56 <+Veruth> (gotcha, I was planning on using *s anyway)
23:38:04 <@Joe> (good good)
23:38:15 <@Joe> !d20+6 notice camera
23:38:15 <+Lycaon> Joe rolled d20 + 6 for a total of 21 notice camera
23:38:32 <@Joe> "What the hell?" He crosses the room, and the camera follows him.
23:38:38 <+Veruth> " I was hoping you could tell me that"
23:38:46 <@Ralith> "Is surveillance not standard?"
23:38:49 * Ralith looks worried.
23:38:59 <@Joe> He ducks, the camera lowers. Then he jumps, and the camera raises. "Somebody's just screwing with me."
23:39:05 <@Lupin> "This is still and odd place for a camera."
23:39:25 <@Joe> "Surveillance is standard, but they're supposed to be paying attention to you."
23:39:37 <@Joe> Suddenly, you notice that the room has no windows.
23:40:33 * Ralith takes little note of it, being equally uncomfotable in most rooms.
23:40:33 <@Joe> "It's part of standard procedure... etc, ya know. Y'all were on camera in the precinct."
23:40:45 * Veruth watches the camera in confusion also
23:41:19 <@Joe> "Oh, don't let me interrupt anything."
23:41:27 * Joe sits and watches the camera.
23:41:30 * Aki watches the camera, getting a bit suspicious..
23:41:42 <@Ralith> "Thought so."
23:42:25 <@Lupin> "Since we're not the once that shot him, you mind opening the door? I'm a bit claustrophobic."
23:42:34 <@Joe> The conference room door clicks.
23:42:37 <@Joe> "Sure."
23:42:40 <@Ralith> "Thanks."
23:42:49 * Joe walks over to the door, and he tries the handle.
23:43:03 <@Joe> The door doesn't budge. He yanks on the handle a couple of times and nothing happens.
23:43:31 <@Lupin> "Uhh, what's with the door. Are we locked in?"
23:43:36 <@Joe> "What the fu-" The flourescent light above you goes out. It's now pitch black. You sense another in the room with you.
23:43:53 <@Ralith> "What the f***?!"
23:44:01 * Ralith stands and feels around.
23:44:04 <+Veruth> "What the hell"
23:44:08 <@Joe> A red eye from the camera provides a little illumination. A pair of red eyes below the camera provide even more illumination.
23:44:15 * Ralith stares.
23:44:15 * Lupin quielty stands up and backs against a wall.
23:44:19 * Ralith backs away
23:44:23 * Aki backs away from the red eyes
23:44:44 -!- Joe is now known as Marty
23:44:53 <@Marty> "What? Not so glad to see me?"
23:44:59 <@Marty> The red eyes blink.
23:45:09 * Aki growls
23:45:14 <@Lupin> "Should we be?"
23:45:16 <@Ralith> "Wha... how... how did you get in here?"
23:45:28 <@Ralith> "What the hell are you?"
23:45:54 <@Marty> "The same way you're going to get out of here. Officer Meldon, you weren't going to let them leave the hospital without so much as a blood sample now were you?"
23:46:08 <@Marty> (Joe) "Uh, no, I mean, yes. I...uh..."
23:46:23 <@Marty> Joe fumbles for words and fails.
23:46:29 * Veruth is at a loss for words also
23:46:37 <@Ralith> "What do you want with us?"
23:46:44 <@Ralith> "
23:47:28 <@Marty> "You, Ralith, have work to do. Thanks for not being in Chicago when the stuff you're looking for left. You've given me a hard task, one that I had to convince my boss was worthy of my undertaking."
23:47:50 <@Ralith> "What are you talking about? We got here as fast as we could!"
23:48:16 <@Lupin> "What, you think that we really care about the blood test Marty? The little secret is getting out eventually anway."
23:48:22 <@Marty> "Oh, and Officer Meldon, I'll give your regards to your wife and daughter." You hear the sound of bones breaking and a fwump as Joe crumples to the floor.
23:48:39 <@Ralith> "...What the f*** did you do that for?!"
23:48:49 <@Marty> "The secret is already out. Someone got a shot of our good friend, A627 and went to the tabloids."
23:48:53 * Ralith looks pretty much shocked.
23:49:10 <@Ralith> (not at that last statement, at the killing.)
23:49:13 <@Marty> "Because the rest of his kind will be dead by this time next week."
23:49:14 <@Lupin> "Pfft. Tabloids."
23:49:41 * Ralith is at a loss for words.
23:49:51 <@Ralith> (Veruth, why don't you talk more? )
23:49:58 <@Marty> "Yeah, when a Forbes photographer, getting a shot of the Chicago skyline gets a photo op of a dead werewolf, it's definitely just 'tabloid' material."
23:50:14 <+Veruth> (I'm having a bit of trouble here)
23:50:23 <@Ralith> "Why do you even care?"
23:50:24 <+Veruth> (I'm not sure what to say)
23:50:36 <@Marty> "So, should I also put the guy on the stretcher to rest in a better place too?"
23:50:45 <@Ralith> "What?! NO!"
23:50:52 <@Ralith> "Why would you do that?"
23:50:52 <@Lupin> "Bah, that's nowhere near what we were going for."
23:51:04 <@Ralith> (I might not like humans, but I'm not uncompassionate.)
23:51:08 <@Marty> "Because I don't know him."
23:51:20 * Veruth gives up staying silent in hope that he would be overlooked
23:51:21 <@Marty> "I don't want him knowing too much."
23:51:31 <@Ralith> "Why does that even matter at this point?"
23:51:47 <@Lupin> "Well then you probably shouldn't have mentioned the dead werewolf, or our relationship to him."
23:51:50 <@Marty> "Because, regardless of the outcome, there will still be secrets."
23:52:04 <+Veruth> "holy sh*t,holy sh*t,holy sh*t"
23:52:22 <@Marty> "Ralith, you asked why I care. I care because my boss has a vested interest in the continuation of Humanity as we know it."
23:52:25 <@Ralith> (look, there's no point in the astresks, we all know what letter goes there )
23:52:34 <+Veruth> (oh, ok)
23:52:41 <+Veruth> (profanity on!)
23:52:46 <@Marty> (he's fine, the asterisks will let you swear more hehe)
23:53:00 <@Marty> (I was expecting omgomgomgomgomgomgomg)
23:53:18 <@Ralith> "You seem to be capable enough. What do you want with us if you can manage a stunt like this?"
23:53:22 <@Marty> "What's your problem over there anyway? If Aki takes a dump, it sure ain't holy."
23:53:26 <@Lupin> "So do we, but it whould help a lot more if people weren't trying to kill us all of the time."
23:53:33 <+Veruth> (that would have worked better, I just didn't think of it)
23:54:15 <@Marty> "Simple. I'm still spending my time preventing Washington DC from ending up like Malta."
23:54:28 * Veruth tries to move but is overwhelmed by pain
23:54:28 <@Ralith> (do we know what he's talking about?)
23:54:44 <@Ralith> (Veruth, you've got painkillers )
23:55:03 <+Veruth> (they only work to a certain extent don't they?)
23:55:09 <@Ralith> (true.)
23:55:14 <@Marty> "How long has it been since you listened to the news?"
23:55:34 <@Ralith> "We've haven't had much oppertunity."
23:55:42 <@Lupin> "About a day or so, refresh my memory."
23:55:56 <@Marty> "Sure. Any of you know what the country of Malta is?"
23:56:14 <@Ralith> "No..."
23:56:34 * Veruth listens to the exchange with growing dread as he anticipates his own death
23:56:49 <@Lupin> "The Republic of Malta (usually shortened to Malta) is a small and densely populated island nation consisting of an archipelago in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea."
23:57:16 <@Marty> "Only one correction to your statement."
23:57:34 <@Lupin> "It's not densely populated?"
23:57:47 <@Marty> "It is an island nation, and if we'd heard a peep out of it in the last 27 hours, we'd be sure there were still living people there."
23:58:26 * Ralith is again speechless.
23:58:55 <@Ralith> "This still doesn't explain what you want with us when you're so evidently powerful."
23:59:17 <@Marty> "In nine hours, rescuers are going to be landing. In eight hours, they are going to be landing on the island. It is your job to make sure they never survive and make it to the shore."
23:59:36 <@Ralith> "Why?"
23:59:43 * Veruth watches the twin points of red light and desperately tries to think of some way to escape
23:59:53 <@Marty> "Quite simple. If I am not in Washington DC in five hours, the United States Capitol will have the same population density as Malta."

[Lupin]

00:00:10 <@Marty> The twin points of light blink.
00:00:21 <@Ralith> "But why obstruct the rescue operation?"
00:00:50 <@Lupin> "Wouldn't it just be easier to send a guy with a rocket launcher or something?"
00:00:56 <@Marty> "They can't be allowed to know about it, or they'll find a way to 'contain' it and 'study it' resulting in the death of the Center for Diseas Control if they screw up."
00:01:44 <@Marty> "Yeah. We have rocket launchers. However, only my boss and I know what is truly at steak, and we're pretty sure that even we can't convince our own men to impede a humanitarian mission."
00:02:04 <@Ralith> "What makes you think we're any better a choice?"
00:02:15 <@Lupin> "Why convince them? Fear is a very nice motivator."
00:02:33 <@Marty> "You know what will happen if any rescuer sets foot on those islands."
00:02:57 <@Ralith> "They'd just die, wouldn't they?"
00:03:05 <@Marty> "Yes."
00:03:24 <@Lupin> "And we're vaccinated..."
00:03:48 * Ralith 's face is crossed by a look of fearful understanding.
00:03:54 <@Marty> "And only very stupid bounty hunters will try to get you in Malta."
00:04:02 <@Ralith> "But how are we supposed to get there?"
00:04:07 <@Lupin> "Why the hell are they trying to get us to begin with?"
00:04:28 <@Marty> "By air."
00:04:29 * Veruth once again tries to move from his position but exhales sharply and drops back down as he is overcome by pain once again
00:04:40 <@Ralith> "How did you get in here?"
00:04:55 <@Marty> The red points close. The light comes back on. You are looking at the face of Veruth's doctor.
00:05:03 * Ralith gapes.
00:05:05 <@Marty> He looks distracted.
00:05:19 * Aki blinks, staring..
00:05:21 * Lupin looks around.
00:05:22 * Veruth out of options, softly resumes his chant
00:05:43 * Ralith falls down abruptly into a sitting position against the wall, and doesn't even seem to notice.
00:05:46 <@Marty> "Huh? Oh, I need your help. We need to keep this patient alive all the way to the airport. He's on an emergency air lift to the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington D.C."
00:06:12 * Ralith regains his breath.
00:06:21 <@Lupin> "Don't we have to talk to the police or something?"
00:06:22 <@Ralith> "Can't you treat him here? Is the wound that bad?"
00:06:31 <@Marty> The doctor walks over to the door and opens it. He starts pulling Veruth out and says "come with me"
00:06:42 <@Ralith> "Don't you have personell for this sort of thing?"
00:06:47 <@Marty> "He's an Army veteran, he needs to go to a military hospital now that he's.... stable."
00:06:56 <@Ralith> "I don't have any medical experience, and there are people expecting me back home."
00:07:00 <@Marty> "Yes and no, if you catch my drift."
00:07:07 <@Ralith> "I'm afraid I don't."
00:07:16 <@Marty> >.<
00:07:39 <@Lupin> "We better get transportation back."
00:08:19 <@Marty> The doctor wheels Veruth around to the staff elevator. "Of course, your from this area aren't you?"
00:08:20 * Ralith sighs.
00:08:36 <@Marty> He wheels Veruth in.
00:08:48 <@Lupin> "We're from out of town."
00:08:55 <@Marty> "How are you feeling.... what's your name?"
00:08:57 <@Ralith> (wait, so the doctor IS marty?)
00:09:21 <@Marty> (^_^ I thought you never would've guessed)
00:09:43 -!- Ralith [Ralith@*.drizzle.com] has quit [Connection reset by peer]
00:09:44 <+Veruth> "I'm uh Veruth"
00:09:50 -!- Ralith [Ralith@*.drizzle.com] has joined #paradice
00:09:53 -!- mode/#paradice [+o Ralith] by Ralith
00:09:58 <@Ralith> (gah, what'd I miss?)
00:10:02 <@Marty> "I suppose that means 'fine' in some language. Good to meetcha Veruth."
00:10:07 <@Marty> The elavator is going up.
00:10:09 <@Lupin> (00:09:44 <+Veruth> "I'm uh Veruth")
00:10:44 <+Veruth> "what the hell just happened?!"
00:11:08 <@Marty> "Kid you just answered your own question." the doctor answers with a wry grin.
00:11:17 <@Marty> 14th floor...
00:11:18 * Ralith looks at Marty's scalp.
00:11:20 <@Marty> 15th floor.
00:11:32 <@Ralith> (I'm lost. Is this marty or the doctor or both?)
00:12:11 <@Lupin> "Honestly. You'd do best if you just forgot that this ever happened, or that we ever met."
00:12:12 <@Marty> (You'll figure it out)
00:12:30 <@Lupin> "That's what I'm trying to do."
00:12:50 * Ralith looks at the doctor's scalp, then.
00:12:51 <+Veruth> (is that to me?)
00:12:59 <@Lupin> (Yes)
00:13:13 <@Marty> "Well, Veruth, you have two choices as I see it. Get vaccinated, and enjoy a warm beach for a couple of weeks, or die on the way to Washington. Which would you prefer?"
00:13:24 <@Ralith> (so it's marty. great.)
00:13:29 <@Marty> The doctor's scalp has a huge scar.
00:13:40 <@Ralith> "I see your scalp finally healed."
00:13:42 <@Marty> (yes, I was typing stuff sry)
00:13:45 <+Veruth> "that's not much of a choice"
00:14:15 <@Lupin> "Actually, it's beter that some of the onese we've been given lately."
00:14:19 <@Marty> The doctor looks at Ralith kind of distracted, with a 'wtf' expression. "Did I just say something odd?"
00:14:33 * Ralith nods in agreement with Lupin
00:14:36 * Ralith looks confused.
00:14:44 <@Ralith> "Er, maybe?"
00:14:52 <+Veruth> "I think I'll take the first one"
00:15:02 * Ralith watches the doctor closely
00:15:16 <@Marty> The doctor asks "The first one what?" completely confused.
00:15:34 <@Ralith> (is the scar still there?)
00:15:47 <@Ralith> "Doctor, where are we going right now?"
00:15:49 <@Marty> You reach the top floor. The elevator doors open into a small room, with a door at the far end. Aviation helmets are in closets up here.
00:15:53 <@Marty> (yes)
00:16:38 <@Marty> The doctor looks at his notes on a clipboard, "Uhh, we're going to Washington D.C. for this Army vet. Odd, I don't remember requesting the Walter Reed Army Medical Center..."
00:17:09 <@Ralith> "This sounds like an odd question, but where's that scar on your head from?"
00:17:19 <@Marty> There is a rescue/medical chopper warming up on the helopad.
00:17:31 * Ralith takes an aviation helmet.
00:17:40 <@Marty> He feels his head, "Oh, car accident, I think..."
00:17:40 * Lupin takes one as well.
00:17:47 <@Ralith> "You think?"
00:17:48 <@Marty> The doctor puts a helmet on Veruth.
00:17:50 <@Lupin> "You think?"
00:18:04 <@Marty> "Yeah. I think. I don't remember, I was a little kid."
00:18:10 <@Ralith> "...ah."
00:18:18 <@Ralith> "Might I ask why we're necessary on this trip?"
00:18:20 * Lupin nods.
00:18:30 * Veruth looks at the doctor strangely
00:18:45 <@Ralith> "I might be fired if I don't show up at the buisiness meeting I came here for."
00:18:57 <@Ralith> "My boss doesn't take excuses."
00:19:16 <@Marty> "Prior medical experience with treating gunshot wounds. It says here that a... Torrent Darkmoon is especially talented. What an odd name. Are you him?"
00:19:34 <@Ralith> "No. I have no medical experience whatsoever."
00:20:00 <@Ralith> "I just got taken in by the police for questioning."
00:20:00 * Lupin clears this throat and looks at the clothes Ralith is wearing.
00:20:24 <@Marty> "Hmm. Well, you're here. I don't have time to get anyone else." He dons the helmet himself, and seeing that everyone has a helmet, he opens the door and heads out onto the helopad.
00:20:27 <@Ralith> "Er... not with gunshot qounds, that is."
00:20:30 <@Lupin> "Nasty cough, can you take a look at that?"
00:21:06 * Ralith follows the doctor out.
00:21:10 <@Marty> "The patient will be fine. Heck, a cough might help him."
00:21:12 * Aki follows after
00:21:34 <@Marty> "Oh, and I love your sense of humor, ' I have no medical experience' but you're an EMT. Haha!"
00:21:46 * Lupin follows the doctor.
00:21:57 <@Ralith> "With gunshot wounds, I said. I'm a bit of a specialist."
00:22:33 <@Marty> He heads into the helicopter, wheeling Veruth ahead of him. He gets into the chopper and grabs onto the litter itself. "Get your end."
00:22:43 * Ralith grabs it.
00:22:48 <@Marty> 1..
00:22:49 <@Marty> 2..
00:22:50 <@Marty> 3..
00:22:54 <@Marty> "Lift"
00:22:55 * Ralith lifts
00:23:32 <@Marty> He slides the litter into the helicopter off of the wheeled frame. A crew member wheels the frame off the helipad as the docter ties the litter down.
00:23:44 <@Marty> "Ok, let's git in and go!"
00:23:53 * Lupin climbs into the helicopter.
00:24:02 * Ralith follows.
00:24:17 * Aki climbs in
00:24:22 <+Veruth> (I'm kinda at a loss here)
00:24:32 <@Marty> (say anything you want)
00:24:37 <@Ralith> (just behave as you would behave.)
00:24:38 -!- Aki [Aki@*.bos.east.verizon.net] has left #paradice []
00:24:38 <@Marty> (did you catch up in the logs?)
00:24:48 -!- Aki [Aki@*.bos.east.verizon.net] has joined #paradice
00:24:51 < Aki> woops
00:24:54 <@Ralith> (hehe)
00:25:06 < Aki> (I think something and the window kerploded!)
00:25:06 <@Marty> (hehe you didn't miss nothing)
00:25:10 < Aki> (er, hit*)
00:25:23 * Ralith sighs and sits down by Veruth.
00:25:24 <@Marty> (wb)
00:25:38 <@Marty> The doctor gets in, and shuts the doors, giving the pilots a thumbs up.
00:25:51 * Veruth stays silent as he contemplates all that has just happened
00:26:00 <@Ralith> "I'm sorry about all this. We're not exactly the safest of company."
00:26:01 -!- mode/#paradice [+o Aki] by Lupin
00:26:06 * Ralith speaks quietly.
00:26:33 * Lupin looks at Veruth, "It's best if you don't think about this too much."
00:26:45 <@Marty> The pilots haul balls towards DC. As soon as you've lifted off, the doctor reaches into an innner pocket and grabs a peice of paper.
00:26:53 <@Ralith> "But at this point even we don't have much idea what's going on."
00:27:03 <@Marty> It's folded up several times over, and he hands it to Lupin.
00:27:21 * Lupin unfolds it and reads.
00:27:32 <@Marty> The doctor's eyes glisten red for a moment.
00:27:36 * Ralith gives the paper a curious glance, but returns his focus to Veruth.
00:27:53 <@Ralith> "Do you mind my asking what brought you to the alley mouth?"
00:28:38 <+Veruth> "I was on my way home from work and I heard something in the alley"
00:28:51 * Ralith frowns, and shrugs.
00:28:59 * Ralith sighs.
00:29:18 <+Veruth> "That woman was there, she warned me not to go in, and I guess I should have taken her advice"
00:29:27 <@Marty> (kk I gotta go - work in four hours.... if ya need to talk, now's a good chance... though I know vehicles are gettin old)
00:29:34 * Ralith looks resigned. "Well, one can never know where the smallest actions might take them."
00:29:42 -!- Marty is now known as Baph-sleep
00:29:46 <@Baph-sleep> (gn!)
00:29:47 * Lupin pockets the paper.
00:29:49 <@Ralith> (hehe, but there's some good oppertunity for dialog here)
00:29:53 <@Lupin> (Good night.)
00:29:57 <@Ralith> (night.)
00:30:03 <@Baph-sleep> (keep playing if ya want!)
00:30:04 <+Veruth> (night)
00:30:12 <@Baph-sleep> (zzzz)
00:30:16 <@Ralith> "Lupin, what does the paper say?"
00:30:21 <@Lupin> "So did the lady say anything else?"
00:30:29 <@Aki> (night baph!)
00:30:44 <@Lupin> "Oh, just a bit of information on the Arobor Creek Flight School."
00:30:50 * Ralith blinks.
00:30:56 <@Ralith> "What's that got to do with anything?"
00:31:05 * Lupin takes the paper out of his pocket and hands it to Ralith.
00:31:10 * Ralith examines it.
00:31:35 <@Ralith> "Ah."
00:31:37 * Ralith hands it back.
00:31:41 <+Veruth> "not that I can remember, just to stay away and I wouldn't get hurt"
00:32:14 <@Ralith> "Well, I've got to commend you for coming in anyway."
00:32:19 <@Ralith> "It seems odd that she'd let you."
00:32:22 * Lupin puts it back in his pocket.
00:32:31 <@Ralith> "Tell me, where there any defining features about her?"
00:33:17 <+Veruth> "it was dark, and I only saw her for a little while"
00:34:11 <@Ralith> "Oh."
00:34:27 * Ralith remains quiet for a while, in thought.
00:35:08 <@Ralith> "We should have brought Joe to the doctor's attention. That would've pulled things to a halt; gotten Marty back to question, at least."
00:35:45 <@Lupin> "Yeah, I really would like to know what's up with the bounty hunters."
00:35:51 <@Ralith> "Oh yeah. I suppose the least we can do is give you some idea of what's going on; you're in deep enough that there's no point keeping anything from you anymore."
00:36:23 <@Ralith> "I'm no good at this sort of thing. Maybe you could just start asking questions?"
00:36:51 <+Veruth> "bounty hunters? is that what she was?"
00:37:01 <@Ralith> "We don't know. Probably."
00:37:18 <@Ralith> "She could be after us for any number of reasons."
00:37:26 <@Ralith> "I wish I knew how she found us, though."
00:37:34 <@Lupin> "Yeah, it's weird that she took the ears, too."
00:37:48 <+Veruth> "why would she be after you, especially armed like that?"
00:37:51 <@Ralith> "Like she needed proof of a kill or something."
00:37:56 <@Ralith> "I wish I knew."
00:38:15 <@Ralith> "Maybe she held some strong religious beliefs, or maybe someone was paying her."
00:38:28 * Ralith stops talking, awaiting the next question.
00:38:36 <@Lupin> "Weird that she did it that way, though."
00:38:58 <@Ralith> "The sort of person it takes to do that sort of thing is always screwed up in some way."
00:39:19 <@Lupin> "Anyway, I don't think she was with the government."
00:39:34 <@Ralith> "Or in their payroll."
00:39:43 * Aki lays down, listening to a conversation, slightly frustrated he can't participate.
00:39:53 <@Ralith> "They tend to go about things a bit differently."
00:40:10 <@Lupin> "Yeah, entirely too noisy."
00:40:12 <@Ralith> (expecting a question about what I meant about 'religious beliefs' any moment now )
00:40:38 <+Veruth> (sorry, totally missed that)
00:40:39 <@Lupin> "Until we figure out who she is, can't really say why she's after us."
00:40:45 <@Ralith> (but just ask whatever seems natural.)
00:41:04 <@Ralith> "I must say I'm looking forward to some time in relative safety."
00:41:17 <@Ralith> "Although this has pretty much destroyed our plans."
00:41:23 <+Veruth> "What do you mean by religious beliefs?, is she part of some cult or something?"
00:41:41 <@Ralith> "Judging by what Marty just did, maybe we didn't need to take such drastic measures after all."
00:41:45 <@Ralith> "What? Oh, no."
00:42:01 <@Ralith> "Probably not, although I suppose it could be possible."
00:42:12 <+Veruth> (I've got to go)
00:42:20 <@Lupin> "Which drastic measure?"
00:42:25 <@Ralith> "Even a christian fundementalist who saw the wrong thing could do that."
00:42:26 <+Veruth> (I might be in a bit of trouble)
00:42:43 <@Ralith> "Our plan for the game,Lupin."
00:42:43 <@Lupin> (Bleh. See ya.)
00:42:46 <@Ralith> (alright.)
00:42:51 <@Lupin> "Ah yeah."
00:42:51 -!- Veruth [~Owner@*.ipt.aol.com] has quit [Quit: Leaving]
00:43:09 -!- Ralith changed the topic of #paradice to: No game in progress. || We have two rules: Treat everyone here with respect, and don't eat sentient beings no matter how tasty they may be with tobasco sauce.

[Lupin]

Since we didn't get to finish that conversation above:




[20:38] <@Ralith> (so ask a question.)
[20:38] * Ralith leans back a bit, giving Veruth an expectant look.
[20:38] <@Veruth> (ok, typing now)
[20:39] <@Veruth> "So who are you anyway? you've got bounty hunters after you, not to mention what just happened in the hospital"
[20:40] * Ralith sighs. "Just some guys who were in the wrong place at the wrong time."
[20:41] <@Lupin> "I wonder if that was because of the little incident we had driving to Chicago."
[20:41] <@Veruth> "Incident?"
[20:42] * Ralith lets Lupin field this one.
[20:43] <@Lupin> "Well, let's just say it's how our friend in the alley got that way."
[20:44] <@Ralith> (you didn't see him, remeber)
[20:44] <@Veruth> (yeah)
[20:44] <@Lupin> "You don't really want to hear all the details, I'm sure."
[20:44] <@Lupin> (Right, but Marty decided to bring him up.)
[20:44] <@Ralith> (but he probably won't take that at face value)
[20:45] <@Ralith> (or at least want confirmation.)
[20:45] <@Veruth> "What happened to him, you acted like it was pretty bad?"
[20:45] <@Ralith> "He got shot up pretty badly."
[20:46] <@Ralith> "Let's just say that we're no strangers to having guns pointed at us."
[20:46] <@Lupin> "Pretty badly? He's dead now."
[20:46] * Veruth winces
[20:46] <@Ralith> "Well, yeah. Did you think we'd abandon him if he was alright?"
[20:47] <@Lupin> "Well, if he was alright, we wouldnt't have had to abandon him."
[20:47] <@Ralith> (I was talking to Veruth )
[20:48] <@Veruth> "No, I guess not""
[20:48] <@Lupin> (Oh, it looked like you were talking to me.)
[20:48] <@Veruth> "I was a little busy at the time, so I guess I overlooked it"
[20:49] * Veruth gestures toward his stomach
[20:49] * Ralith nods, grimacing.
[20:49] * Ralith looks expectant, and a bit apprehensive, at that.
[20:50] <@Lupin> "Anything else? I'm sure they're more you want to know."
[20:51] <@Ralith> "Certain, in fact."
[20:51] <@Veruth> "yeah, I'd like to know what just happened back at the hospital, what was that thing?"
[20:52] <@Veruth> "it sounded like you've met before"
[20:52] <@Lupin> "We're not sure about your doctor. He wasn't at all like this the last time we saw him."
[20:52] <@Ralith> "For one thing, he was missing a large piece of scalp."
[20:53] <@Ralith> "And he looked a bit different."
[20:53] <@Lupin> "Not to mention he looked... different"
[20:53] <@Veruth> "different? How so?"
[20:54] <@Lupin> "As in he looked like a different person."
[20:55] <@Veruth> "A different person? How is that possible"
[20:56] * Ralith pauses, and sighs again. "There're a lot of things that you wouldn't think possible."
[20:56] <@Lupin> "We're not sure, nothing we did could have caused it."
[20:57] * Veruth looks confused
[20:58] <@Ralith> "Look, I know there's something you want to ask. Ask it."
[20:59] <@Ralith> "You overheard something you don't understand."
[21:00] <@Veruth> (I can't figure out how I want to phrase this one)
[21:00] <@Veruth> (sorry I'm taking forever)
[21:01] <@Ralith> (then ask it in that manner. Lots of 'er...' and 'I mean...' and such)
[21:01] <@Ralith> (phrase it as you would; it doesn't have to be eloquent, it should be realistic.)
[21:02] <@Veruth> (I'm not even sure if it's the same question you're pointing me towards, but ok)
[21:02] <@Ralith> (well, you could check ooc)
[21:03] <@Veruth> (ok, I feel really stupid now. I was about to ask about the whole incident in the confrence room)
[21:03] <@Ralith> (heh)
[21:03] <@Ralith> (for the sake of story, check what you're going to ask ooc)
[21:03] <@Lupin> (Well, there are several things that we were talking about that you don't understand there.)
[21:04] <@Ralith> (but theoretically there's one major thing, about us inparticular, you want to know about)
[21:05] <@Ralith> (specifically, about what marty indicated we were.)
[21:05] <@Veruth> (you mean the part about a photo of a werewolf in the tabloids?)
[21:05] <@Veruth> (I just loaded up the logs again since I'm so clueless)
[21:06] <@Ralith> (well, that may have been part of what implied it.)
[21:08] <@Lupin> "I'm hungry."
[21:08] <@Ralith> "Time for that later."
[21:09] <@Ralith> (Veruth, I hinted about as obviously as I can without saying it outright >.<)
[21:09] <@Lupin> "I think we'll stop for some food before we head over to the flight school."
[21:09] <@Ralith> "I don't think we'll have much say in that."
[21:09] <@Ralith> "Hopefully we'll be able to get something there."
[21:09] <@Veruth> (I know, I'm sorry I'm being so stupid.)
[21:09] <@Lupin> "Or maybe in the hospital."
[21:10] <@Ralith> (Veruth, see "(specifically, about what marty indicated we were.)")
[21:10] <@Ralith> (Mary alluded to that. You can ask.)
[21:10] <@Lupin> (Or my line about you knowing too much.)
[21:11] <@Ralith> (or all the stuff about "the secret")
[21:11] <@Veruth> (ok)
[21:12] <@Veruth> "back in the hospital, the.. he.. said your secret was out."
[21:12] <@Ralith> "Well, it's not really. People will pass it off as a hoax."
[21:12] <@Lupin> "That's a statement."
[21:13] * Ralith avoids the real question.
[21:14] <@Lupin> "You didn't actually ask us anything."
[21:14] <@Veruth> "what was he talking about, what secret?"
[21:15] * Ralith sighs. "There you go."
[21:15] <@Ralith> "Lupin, think it's safe to demonstrate?"
[21:15] <@Lupin> "I thought it was pretty obvious what he was talking about, it got mentioned a couple of times."
[21:16] <@Ralith> "No need to run him around in circles about it."
[21:16] <@Lupin> "What about the pilots?"
[21:16] * Veruth looks from Lupin to Ralith in confusion
[21:16] <@Ralith> "Good point, we don't know if they're safe."
[21:16] * Lupin looks at Ralith "Bah, I never get to have any fun with that."
[21:16] <@Ralith> "Look, we owe it to him."
[21:16] * Ralith turns back to Veruth.
[21:16] <@Ralith> "Well..."
[21:17] <@Lupin> "I know you want to get out of the 'moneky suit' though."
[21:17] <@Ralith> "You're not going to believe this, and we can't prove it as yet."
[21:17] * Ralith nods breifly at Lupin, grinnig.
[21:17] <@Ralith> (grinning*)
[21:17] <@Ralith> "But, put simply, we're werewolves."
[21:17] <@Veruth> "What?"
[21:18] <@Ralith> "No, that means exactly what it sounds like."
[21:18] <@Lupin> "No, werewolves."
[21:18] <@Ralith> "Forget all the hollywood stuff about the full moon and mindless murder."
[21:18] <@Ralith> "But once that's gone, you've pretty much got it."
[21:18] <@Veruth> "Werewolves...?"
[21:18] * Veruth trails off
[21:19] <@Lupin> "Except that we look better than the CGI they've come up with so far."
[21:19] <@Ralith> (so you're going to take us at our word? )
[21:19] <@Veruth> "but that's impossible?"
[21:19] <@Ralith> "Maybe it is."
[21:19] <@Veruth> (damn ? mark)
[21:19] <@Ralith> "Doesn't change what I am."
[21:19] <@Ralith> "What we are."
[21:20] <@Ralith> (grr, we need Aki here.)
[21:20] <@Veruth> " But how?"
[21:20] <@Lupin> "Personally, I don't feel like runing it by finding out it's impossible."
[21:20] <@Ralith> "Don't ask me. I'm no science major."
[21:22] <@Veruth> "I guess it would exlpain a lot..."
[21:22] <@Ralith> "So you're taking us at our word? I'm impressed."
[21:22] <@Lupin> "Wait."
[21:22] <@Lupin> "What would it explain?"
[21:22] * Ralith looks a bit curious
[21:23] <@Veruth> "The bounty hunter for one"
[21:23] * Ralith nods.
[21:24] <@Veruth> "and that,umm..conversation back at the hospital"
[21:24] <@Lupin> "Well, it might, but a bunch of stuff we've done lately would explain that too."
[21:24] <@Ralith> "It's all connected, though."
[21:26] <@Veruth> "and it looks like I've put myself right in the middle of it"
[21:26] <@Ralith> "Well, there's no getting out now. Marty or his friends would probably kill you for knowing too much."
[21:27] <@Veruth> "What's going to happen to me now?"
[21:27] <@Ralith> "I'm sorry to say, we simply don't know."
[21:28] <@Ralith> "As far as I can tell, Marty is just using you as an excuse to airlift us."
[21:28] <@Lupin> If you're lucky
[21:28] <@Ralith> "And judging by the cop, he's not very compassionate to those who know too much."
[21:28] <@Lupin> "If you're lucky you'll just get a free trip to see Malta."
[21:29] <@Lupin> "But I wouln't count on it."
[21:29] <@Veruth> "and If I'm not?"
[21:29] <@Ralith> "Marty won't want you out unguarded with what you know."
[21:29] <@Lupin> "You end up like our firend in the alley."
[21:30] * Veruth shudders
[21:30] <@Ralith> "We'll do our best to keep you safe."
[21:31] <@Ralith> "But there's only so much we can do, and Marty is clearly much more powerful than we thought."
[21:31] <@Lupin> "Of course, he's the only one of use that have ended up like that so far."
[21:31] <@Lupin> "But I don't want to sugar-coat things."
[21:31] * Veruth looks shaken.
[21:32] <@Lupin> (us*)
[21:32] <@Ralith> "I'm sorry you got dragged in to all this."
[21:33] <@Veruth> "I am too, but I'm the one who decided to go into that alley "
[21:34] <@Ralith> "You had no way of knowing what you'd find."
[21:35] <@Lupin> "This is so improbable nobody in their right might would consider it."
[21:35] <@Lupin> (mind)
[21:36] * Ralith tries to change the topic, and gestures at Aki. "By the way, as you may have guessed, this is no dog. Meet Aki."
[21:37] * Veruth looks at Aki closely
[21:37] <@Veruth> "I, um.. hello?"
[21:38] * Lupin looks at Ralith "What is this habit we have of picking up people that know too much?"
[21:38] <@Ralith> * Aki nods at Veruth. (apologies to Aki)
[21:39] <@Ralith> "Well, generally, if they don't already know too much our picking them up tends to make it that way."
[21:39] <@Ralith> "I suppose it's to be expected given the amount of caution we've had to throw to the winds of late."
[21:42] <@Lupin> "I am kind of hoping that thinks reutrn to normal, but I doubt it."
[21:42] <@Veruth> "What do you mean, what happened?
[21:42] <@Lupin> (brb)
[21:44] <@Ralith> (err, where did we say 'what happened'?)
[21:44] <@Veruth> (you didn't, I'm asking what you meant in your last comment)
[21:45] * Ralith gestures vaugely around him, apparently indicating the aircraft. "All this isn't exactly normal life for us."
[21:45] <@Ralith> "It's a long story."
[21:51] <@Lupin> "Yeah, we aren't exactly a werewolf version of the A-team."
[22:13] * Veruth lets out a strained laugh
[22:13] <@Veruth> "I guess not"
[22:15] * Vilkacis (Vilkacis@*.hsd1.wa.comcast.net) has joined #paradice2
[22:16] <Vilkacis> /access #paradice2 add host Vilkacis!*@* ?
[22:17] <@Ralith> (parenthesis, please)
[22:17] <@Ralith> (and noone has any access )
[22:17] <Vilkacis> (Ah, in a game?)
[22:18] <Vilkacis> (or rp'ing out of the game?)
[22:18] * Ralith gives channel operator status to Vilkacis
[22:18] <@Lupin> (That one conversation we couldn't finish.)
[22:18] <@Ralith> "Previous to this we lived relatively peaceful lives."
[22:19] <@Ralith> "Although you wouldn't be able to rightly call them normal."
[22:19] <@Lupin> "Well some of us did."
[22:19] <@Ralith> "Some of us, myself included, opt to have as few dealings with human society as possible."
[22:19] <@Veruth> "I can understand that"
[22:20] <@Ralith> "But I've never heard of anyone completely supressing themselves."
[22:20] <@Ralith> "There are quite a few, Lupin, for example, who live at least partially in society."
[22:20] <@Lupin> "No, that wouldn't be normal."
[22:21] <@Lupin> "But I wasn't talking about you, me or Aki."
[22:21] <@Ralith> (er, what?)
[22:21] <@Lupin> "I wouldn't call being a test subject either normal or peaceful."
[22:22] <@Ralith> "Ah, yes."
[22:22] <@Veruth> "test subject? is that how you got this way?"
[22:22] <@Ralith> "Then there's what started this whole thing."
[22:22] <@Ralith> "Oh no."
[22:22] <@Ralith> "Me and Lupin are completely natural, and Aki was simply bitten."
[22:23] <@Lupin> "No. Ralith and I were born like this."
[22:23] <@Lupin> "And yeah, Aki found himself in a position where he knew too much."
[22:23] <@Ralith> "But... how long ago was it all this started?"
[22:23] <@Ralith> "A week? Two?"
[22:24] <@Ralith> "Feels like much longer."
[22:24] <@Lupin> "Feels like several months, yeah."
[22:24] <@Ralith> "Anyway, we've got some time, so we might as well explain this."
[22:25] <@Ralith> "We were on a regular vacation, initially."
[22:25] <@Ralith> "More accurately, Lupin and Aki were, and I joined them."
[22:25] * Veruth shifts in his strecher and listens intently
[22:25] * Ralith hands the torch to Lupin
[22:26] <@Lupin> "We were running around in the woods, when this damn annoying siren goes off."
[22:27] <@Lupin> "We go to investigate it and we end up in a missile silo."
[22:27] <@Veruth> "in the middle of the woods?"
[22:27] <@Ralith> "Yup."
[22:27] <@Ralith> "More secret that way, yanno?"
[22:27] <@Ralith> "Harder to come upon by accident."
[22:27] <@Veruth> "I guess that does make sense"
[22:27] <@Ralith> "We wouldn't have even heard the sirens were our hearing normal."
[22:28] <@Lupin> "Plus, it's harder to make a target."
[22:28] <@Ralith> "No convenient heat sources."
[22:28] <@Lupin> "Anyway, for some reason we get the bright idea to go into the silo."
[22:29] <@Ralith> "Curiosity, as always, was insatiable."
[22:29] <@Veruth> "heh, I can relate"
[22:30] <@Ralith> "I mean, the road to the thing had clearly been untraveled of late."
[22:30] <@Ralith> "The entire surface area was in disrepair. Like it was abandoned."
[22:30] <@Ralith> "But there were those sirens, and some floodlights, too."
[22:30] <@Lupin> "Once we're in there we find the last thing we expected."
[22:31] <@Ralith> "Other werewolves."
[22:31] <@Veruth> "other werewolves?"
[22:31] <@Veruth> "wow, just how common are ... your kind?"
[22:32] <@Lupin> "Yes, evidently the government has been fooling with all sorts of interesting things."
[22:32] <@Ralith> "We're rare."
[22:32] <@Lupin> "Outside of my famly, Ralith and Aki were the second and third werewolves I met."
[22:32] <@Lupin> (family)
[22:33] <@Lupin> "And Aki wasn't one to begin with."
[22:33] <@Ralith> "But it seems that the local government got ahold of one of us, somehow."
[22:33] <@Lupin> "Which is fairly distrubing, in and of itself."
[22:34] * Ralith nods.
[22:34] <@Veruth> "let me guess, super-soldier program?"
[22:34] <@Ralith> "Not as far as we could tell."
[22:35] <@Lupin> "Something like that, yeah. We have a fairly high resistance to ionizing radiation."
[22:35] <@Ralith> "Well, ok, if you look at it that way."
[22:35] <@Ralith> "But it was more research than actual implementation."
[22:35] <@Ralith> "As was evidenced by their treatment of the... test subjects."
[22:37] <@Veruth> "that dosen't sound good"
[22:37] <@Lupin> "It was horrifying."
[22:38] * Ralith grimaces.
[22:38] <@Ralith> "The lycanthropy wasn't the only thing being tested there."
[22:38] <@Lupin> "You know, with out increased physical abilities, and resistance to damage, I wonder why they didn't start a 'supersoldier' program with them."
[22:39] <@Ralith> "Maybe they did."
[22:39] <@Ralith> "This could just be an offshoot of it."
[22:39] <@Lupin> "Possibly."
[22:39] <@Ralith> (I think you meant our, not out)
[22:39] <@Veruth> (yeah, that took me a second)
[22:39] <@Lupin> (Yeah)
[22:40] <@Lupin> (I'm typing at a weird angle.)
[22:41] <@Ralith> (heh)
[22:41] <@Ralith> (Continue, Lupin.)
[22:42] <@Lupin> "They had been working on a nice biological weapon and had plans to releas it; the sirens we had heard earlier were the launch warning sirens for the silo."
[22:45] <@Ralith> "Nice in the sence of effectivity."
[22:45] <@Ralith> "What it does is /not/ pretty."
[22:45] <@Ralith> "One of us was almost killed by it."
[22:46] * #paradice2 :No such nick/channel
[22:46] * You've invited Aki to #paradice2 (psionics.net.proxy)
[22:46] <@Veruth> "almost? it can be countered then?"
[22:47] <@Ralith> "There is a vaccine."
[22:47] <@Ralith> "Or something like one."
[22:47] <@Ralith> "Hopefully, Marty's managed to acquire some somehow."
[22:47] <@Lupin> "Oddly enough, it affects the transmission of lycantropy too."
[22:48] <@Ralith> "Accelerates the initial shift."
[22:48] <@Ralith> "Which is hard enough as it is, I think."
[22:48] <@Veruth> "I can't imagine it being easy"
[22:49] <@Lupin> "Personally I've had no expierence in that matter."
[22:49] <@Ralith> "Having your body redesigned from scratch isn't."
[22:49] <@Ralith> "Judging by what I've seen, that is."
[22:49] <@Lupin> "It's different when you're born."
[22:49] * Ralith nods
[22:49] <@Lupin> "But it doesn't look pretty."
[22:50] <@Ralith> "Accelerating it is at best unhealthy."
[22:53] <@Lupin> "So where were we... Oh, we get dispatched to find another exit."
[22:54] <@Lupin> "We get trapped in a sci-fi movie for a bit, and come out in this little shed built into a hill."
[22:54] <@Veruth> (parents are home, I may have to go soon. I'll see in a second)
[22:55] <@Ralith> (alright)
[22:56] <@Veruth> "trapped in a sci-fi movie?"
[22:57] <@Veruth> (looks like I have to go )
[22:58] <@Ralith> "Yeah. Green glowy radioactive areas, improperly shut down nuclear reactors, gore-covered control rooms..."
[22:58] <@Ralith> (damn.)
[22:58] <@Ralith> (well, see ya tomorrow.)
[22:58] <@Veruth> (I was enjoying this too)
[22:58] <@Ralith> (yeah)
[22:58] <@Ralith> (Lupin, log post?)
[22:59] <@Veruth> (wait, I can staty on after all)
[22:59] * You have been marked as being away
[22:59] <@Veruth> (stay*)
[22:59] <@Ralith> (good)
[23:00] <@Lupin> (I was switching computers, back)
[23:01] <@Ralith> "Lots of guns and explosives, too."
[23:01] <@Ralith> "A chase scene later on, even."
[23:01] <@Lupin> "Yeah, though this wasn't your normal car chase."
[23:02] <@Ralith> "Heh. Nope."
[23:02] <@Veruth> "how so?"
[23:02] <@Ralith> "For one thing, there was only one car."
[23:02] <@Ralith> "Though we can get going pretty fast on all fours."
[23:03] <@Lupin> "Like I said, we have much nicer physical abilities."
[23:03] <@Ralith> "And better traction than a car to boot."
[23:03] <@Lupin> "We can put a hundered miles behind us in a couple of hours if we need to."
[23:03] <@Ralith> "There are a few other things in our favor, too: Have you ever seen a car jump a fence?"
[23:04] <@Ralith> "Taking shortcuts helped us catch up a lot."
[23:05] <@Veruth> "Why were you after it in the first place?"
[23:05] <@Ralith> "We thought they had the bioweapon with them."
[23:06] <@Lupin> "Which would be really really bad."
[23:06] <@Ralith> "See, the 'test subjects' had managed to disable the ICBM."
[23:08] <@Ralith> "So the humans were trying to move the ICBM elsewhere."
[23:08] <@Lupin> "And at the end of that car chase is where we end up meeting ther person that's currently playing your doctor."
[23:09] <@Ralith> "He was a bit less scary then."
[23:09] <@Lupin> "We have an incident involving the local law enforcement, and he gets bitten."
[23:09] * Veruth glances up at the doctor then looks back at Lupin
[23:10] <@Veruth> "So he's one of you too?"
[23:10] <@Ralith> "At this point, we don't know."
[23:10] <@Lupin> "More happens after this."
[23:11] <@Ralith> "We returned to the silo."
[23:11] <@Ralith> "Only to find that they'd lost power when the reactor blew."
[23:12] <@Ralith> "And realise, too late, that the morgue(sp) lost its seal, and the bioweapon was free in the area."
[23:12] <@Lupin> "A reactor blew. It didn't seem to be the first."
[23:12] <@Ralith> "Luckily, a store of the vaccine had been found."
[23:12] <@Ralith> "However, it's slow-acting."
[23:13] <@Lupin> "All of us disappear into isolation (Canada) for a bit less than a week."
[23:13] <@Ralith> "Almost too slow for one of us."
[23:13] <@Veruth> "I see"
[23:13] <@Ralith> "Somehow, some hunters were there, waiting for us."
[23:13] <@Lupin> "Half way through, someone comes and picks Marty up."
[23:14] <@Ralith> "We again have no idea how they found us."
[23:14] <@Ralith> "With all these encounters, I'm starting to think we're being tracked somehow."
[23:14] <@Lupin> "Yeah, I wonder if the others have tracking devices implanted or something."
[23:15] <@Ralith> "I wouldn't be surprised."
[23:15] <@Lupin> "Me neither."
[23:16] <@Lupin> "We need to get to an x-ray machine."
[23:16] <@Veruth> "It makes sense if the government's involvedI guess "
[23:17] <@Ralith> "It might be best to see if we can take care of this before we get to that island."
[23:17] <@Lupin> "Yeah."
[23:18] <@Veruth> "Take care of what?"
[23:18] <@Ralith> "Maybe there's some medical facilities at the point of departure, and a surgeon we can trust enough."
[23:18] <@Ralith> "Take care of the theoretical tracking beacon."
[23:18] <@Veruth> "oh"
[23:22] <@Veruth> "So how'd you get back from Canada?"
[23:22] * Ralith sighs.
[23:22] <@Ralith> "Our ride came back, as planned."
[23:22] <@Ralith> "Or so we thought."
[23:22] * You have been marked as being away
[23:22] <@Ralith> "Turned out it was a trap; our pickup had been interrogated, then killed."
[23:23] <@Ralith> "We were flown to a city and put on a train, all under the illusion that we were with friends."
[23:23] <@Ralith> "If we hadn't been forced by caution to remain human, we would've known."
[23:23] <@Ralith> "But then, on the train, we worked things out."
[23:24] <@Ralith> "The pilots had dissapeared, and there was something on TV that mentioned the death of our intended pilots in an apparent helicopter crash."
[23:24] <@Ralith> "We triggered an alarm and booked it for chicago."
[23:25] <@Ralith> "By the way, I'm sure you've heard about the whole martial law thing."
[23:25] <@Ralith> "People from that area were in the last car."
[23:25] <@Ralith> "They were /kept/ there by the police, not even allowed to talk to anyone."
[23:25] <@Ralith> "Who knows where they were being taken. Maybe the same place as us."
[23:26] <@Ralith> "Anyway, we were going to chicago since it was the last place we had any chance of picking up on that bioweapon."
[23:26] <@Ralith> "A627- that's how they named the test subjects, by the way; they were brainwashed and couldn't remember their own- got shot by police on the way."
[23:27] <@Lupin> "When you met us, he had no pulse and was almost dead."
[23:27] <@Lupin> "We were hoping that you could do something to help him."
[23:28] <@Ralith> "He was also in gestalt- halfway form- so we had to be careful."
[23:28] <@Ralith> "It takes a lot of energy to shift, and he hadn't been able to since he was shot."
[23:28] <@Veruth> "Which would be the resaon why you were so reluctant to let me see him"
[23:28] <@Veruth> (reason*)
[23:29] <@Veruth> "correct?"
[23:29] <@Lupin> "Yes."
[23:29] <@Ralith> "But let's not dwell on this. We were just about to take drastic measures by way of revealing the whole thing, using ourselves as proof, when Marty intervened."
[23:29] <@Ralith> "You know the rest."
[23:32] <@Veruth> "I guess I do, now what?"
[23:33] <@Ralith> "Well, it seems that Marty and friends did a better job tracking the bioweapon than we did, and they appear to be on our side, largely."
[23:33] <@Lupin> "Now we go and try to ask Marty more questions."
[23:33] <@Ralith> "Though I doubt we'll get anywhere with that."
[23:33] <@Lupin> "He won't answer them, though."
[23:34] <@Ralith> "Most importantly, we need to see if there's any tracking device implanted in anyone."
[23:34] <@Ralith> "From there, assuming we stick by the decision that Marty's relatively good, we should probably cooperate with him."
[23:36] <@Veruth> "He didn't seem very "good" back there"
[23:36] <@Lupin> "Well, 'good' is relative."
[23:36] <@Ralith> "He's trying to keep the bioweapon from being released; he's just not very compassionate."
[23:37] <@Lupin> "He has an ulterior motive, I'm sure."
[23:38] <@Lupin> "What it is, I'm not entirely sure I want to know."
[23:38] <@Ralith> "Hopefully it doesn't conflict with our goals."
[23:38] <@Ralith> "I really don't want to find out the full extent of his power."
[23:38] <@Lupin> "Me neither."
[23:39] <@Veruth> "Where is the bioweapon's target? What makes it that imporatant?"
[23:40] <@Ralith> "We think it didn't have a specific target."
[23:40] <@Ralith> "As far as the test subjects could tell, the intention was to release it in the upper atmosphere, allowing it to spread."
[23:40] <@Ralith> "Leaving, eventually, only a select few alive."
[23:41] <@Veruth> "those with the vaccine..."
[23:41] <@Lupin> "Right."
[23:41] * Veruth is stunned into silence
[23:43] <@Veruth> "but why kill the entire human race? What is there to gain from something like that? "
[23:44] * Lupin looks at Ralith, "I'll let you handle that."
[23:44] <@Ralith> "Alright."
[23:44] * Ralith pauses, in thought
[23:45] <@Ralith> "Well, let's look at me."
[23:45] <@Ralith> "I have as little to do with humanity as possible."
[23:45] <@Ralith> "I live largely under my own power, and like it that way."
[23:46] * You have been marked as being away
[23:47] <@Ralith> "Judging by the experimentation with the bioweapon, the vaccine, lycanthropy, and the relations between them all, I might theorize that there are some people in power who would agree, and are doing their best to make it so there's no other way."
[23:47] <@Ralith> "While I try to avoid society, and humanity in general, they seem interested in making that unnecessary."
[23:49] <@Ralith> "Of course, I doubt they'd be happy to live as I do."
[23:49] <@Ralith> "I would expect them to have some self-powered paradice they plan on retiring to when their plans come to fruition."
[23:50] <@Ralith> "Note that this is all just speculation; while I can't think of any, there're probably at least a few other potential reasons."
[23:50] <@Ralith> (done.)
[23:50] * Vilkacis is now known as Vilkacis-away
[23:53] <@Veruth> " the end result might be nice, but killing billions to achieve it?"
[23:53] <@Veruth> "I see why this is so important now"
[23:54] <@Ralith> "Yeah. For anything less, I'd just move to a slightly more remote stretch of forest."
[23:55] <@Lupin> "Even though we're now vaccinated, we can't just run away from something like this."
[23:56] <@Ralith> "The loss would be far, far greater than any gain."
[23:57] * Veruth mutters to himself
[23:57] <@Veruth> "So that's what he meant by that question"
[23:58] <@Lupin> "Which question?"
[23:59] <@Veruth> "Before we left the hospital, I was asked if I'd rather be vaccinated or die "
[23:59] <@Ralith> "Yeah."
[23:59] <@Ralith> "Actually, that implies that he doesn't intend to kill you."
[23:59] <@Ralith> "I wonder why..."
[00:00] <@Lupin> "Yeah."
[00:00] <@Lupin> "I also wonder where he came up with more vaccine."
[00:00] <@Veruth> "I'd rather not question it, in case he decides to change his mind"
[00:00] <@Lupin> "We had to use all of our supply in an emergency on the helicopter."
[00:00] <@Ralith> "This boss of his is a truly mysterious figure."
[00:01] <@Ralith> "The close call."
[00:02] <@Veruth> "I see"
[00:05] <@Veruth> (wow, have we really been doing this for four hours? o_O)
[00:05] <@Lupin> (Yes)
[00:05] <@Ralith> (yup)
[00:05] <@Ralith> ('tis a long flight )
[00:05] <@Veruth> (I guess so)
[00:06] <@Ralith> (anyone have anything else to say and/or ask?)
[00:07] <@Veruth> (Not that I can think of)
[00:07] <@Ralith> (Lupin?)
[00:07] <@Veruth> (I'm pretty well up to speed now )
[00:07] <@Lupin> (Nope)
[00:07] <@Ralith> (alright then, what say we call a halt and post the logs?
[00:08] <@Veruth> (sounds good)
[00:08] <@Lupin> (Sure, I was hoping Aki would appear.)
[00:08] <@Ralith> (well, if/when he does we can resume)
[00:08] <@Veruth> (He couldn't have done a whole lot as a wolf though)
[00:09] <@Ralith> (he could've provided some proof as to our honesty)

[20:18] <@Ralith> (we haven't really started yet; baph's reading the logs)

[20:21] <@Baphnedia> (lol)
[20:24] <@Baphnedia> ((I've read the logs - rather - skimmed them)
[20:24] <@Ralith> (cool.)
[20:25] <@Baphnedia> The helicopter flies low over plains and rolling hills equally low.
[20:25] <@Baphnedia> You feel like you're always in a turn.
[20:26] <@Baphnedia> The doctor checks every now and then on Veruth, who is awake.
[20:27] <@Ralith> (parents left! woot!)
[20:27] <@Baphnedia> The scalp of the doctor is still fubar, but he's just doing his job at the moment.
[20:27] * Lupin turns to the doctor. "So, I never got your name."
[20:28] <@Baphnedia> "I'm doctor Hobart, and come to think of it, what's your name?" he looks genuinely curious.
[20:28] <@Lupin> "Nicholas, but you can call me Nick."
[20:29] <@Lupin> (*snickers again*)
[20:29] <@Baphnedia> "Sounds good, nice to meetcha. I haven't seen you at the hospital before. Big place."
[20:30] <@Lupin> "Ah, I'm not from around here. Just came to visit."
[20:30] <@Baphnedia> "Well, I guess that is obvious. Had a long call from Monticello?" He looks towards Ralith.
[20:30] <@Lupin> "So, how is that hosptial? It's big."
[20:31] <@Ralith> "Yeah."
[20:31] * Ralith nods.

[20:35] <@Baphnedia> "You?"
[20:36] <@Lupin> "I've only been at this for a short while."
[20:36] <@Lupin> "We came into Chicago for the game."
[20:37] <@Baphnedia> "Ahh!"
[20:37] <@Baphnedia> "I'm looking forward to it! Packers Fans?"
[20:39] <@Baphnedia> The pilots come over the intercom.
[20:40] * Ralith looks up at the speaker
[20:40] <@Lupin> "We were taking in the local culture, and somehow Veruth got involved."
[20:40] <@Baphnedia> "ETA 5 minutes.:
[20:40] <@Lupin> "I hope someone finds that crazy chick."
[20:41] * Ralith nods, grimacing.

[20:43] <@Lupin> (wb)
[20:43] <@Darkmoon> (grrrrrr)
[20:43] <@Aki> (What'd I miss?)
[20:44] <@Ralith> (well, half an hour ago, but not too much)
[20:44] <@Ralith> "The lady that shot Veruth."

[20:44] <@Ralith> (o.O)

[20:47] <@Lupin> "Yeah."
[20:48] <@Baphnedia> "Well, that's somebody."
[20:48] <@Lupin> "We have no idea who the lady is."
[20:49] <@Lupin> "All we know is she drives a blue jeep."

[20:50] <@Baphnedia> "Oh. I don't know anything about women," He turns to Darkmoon, "No offense."
[20:50] * Darkmoon looks over at him and shrugs.

[20:53] <@Baphnedia>
[20:56] <@Ralith> (?)
[20:57] <@Lupin> (If I stop responding, that's because I've fallen asleep)
[20:57] <@Baphnedia> Wake up, Lupin
[20:58] <@Baphnedia> The helicopto lands on the top of a larger hospital, arranged in a large octagon shape.
[20:58] <@Baphnedia> The doctor again looks like he knows what he is doing, and gets out.
[20:59] <@Baphnedia> He asks for one end of Veruth's litter.
[20:59] * Ralith moves it to him.
[20:59] * Ralith takes the other

[Lupin]

[21:00] <@Baphnedia> The doctor slowly guides the litter off the helicopter.
[21:00] * Baphnedia is now known as Marty
[21:00] <@Marty> the red eyes return.
[21:00] <@Marty> I don't know what to do guys.
[21:00] <@Marty> "You know where to go."
[21:00] <@Marty> "How do we get the patient there?"
[21:00] <@Marty> He backs up the litter and starts for the door.
[21:01] <@Ralith> (er, what?)
[21:01] <@Lupin> "Yeah, but we do need a bit more instruction."
[21:01] <@Ralith> "Some clarifaction on a few matters would be helpful."
[21:01] * Lone_Wolf (Lone_Wolf@69.182.4.*) has joined #paradice
[21:01] * Lone_Wolf gives channel operator status to Lone_Wolf
[21:01] <@Lupin> (wb Lone_Wolf)
[21:01] <@Marty> "Clairfy then."
[21:01] <@Ralith> "You do realize that it's impossible for us to prevent them from landing?"
[21:01] <@Lone_Wolf> (hi)
[21:01] <@Akela> (Hey Lone_Wolf)
[21:01] * Lone_Wolf is now known as Sam
[21:01] <@Ralith> "We can keep them from leaving, but there's no way to keep them off."
[21:01] <@Lupin> "Unless we have some sort of weaponry."
[21:01] <@Ralith> "Heavy weaponry."
[21:01] <@Sam> (gimme a few minutes)
[21:02] <@Ralith> "They'll start bringing in aircraft, even if they don't begin with them."
[21:03] <@Marty> "Ok. Think on this."
[21:03] <@Marty> After he's out of range of the helicopter, he takes off his helmet, and hopes to god the pilots weren't listening.
[21:03] <@Marty> "Malta has it's own military."
[21:03] <@Ralith> "Had."
[21:04] <@Marty> "Exactly. Need more clarificatoin?
[21:04] <@Marty> *clarification
[21:04] <@Ralith> "Even should we find the necessary equipment, we can't cover the entire island."
[21:04] <@Lupin> "And just why would it be a better idea to blow them out of the sky before they land?"
[21:05] <@Lupin> "Why can't we just hjack their means of escape and let nature take its course?"
[21:06] <@Marty> "My question to you is how do we get this young... human down to the place you need to go?"
[21:07] <@Ralith> "As much as I fear the answer to this question, why do we need him?"
[21:07] * Marty is ordering pizza
[21:07] <@Ralith> (heh)
[21:07] <@Marty> "Simple - I need to know if Malta is habitable again."
[21:07] <@Marty> "How did he get shot anyway?"
[21:08] <@Ralith> "Hunter of some sort. Which reminds me; I get the feeling we're being tracked somehow."
[21:08] <@Lupin> "Is anyone coming to meet us up here?"
[21:08] <@Ralith> "Time after time we've been snuck up on."
[21:08] <@Marty> "Yeah. They will be here, or they will be dead tomorrow."
[21:09] * Marty starts tapping his foot.
[21:09] <@Marty> "Could one of you take care of the human please?"
[21:09] <@Ralith> (take care of him?)
[21:09] <@Marty> (roll medical)
[21:09] <@Marty> (*cough* Darkmoon()
[21:10] * Lupin pokes Darkmoon and Sam. "That's your deparment."
[21:10] <@Darkmoon> !d20+7 med
[21:10] <+Lycaon> Darkmoon rolled d20 + 7 for a total of 16 med
[21:10] <@Marty> (Sam what's your bonus?)
[21:10] <@Ralith> (shouldn't she get a bonus or something? :/)
[21:10] <@Sam> (bvack)
[21:10] <@Darkmoon> (ugg i don't have any idea how to reintegrate myself into this plot)
[21:10] <@Marty> (she added 7)
[21:11] <@Sam> (8)
[21:11] <@Marty> (you're there alerady Darkmoon)
[21:11] <@Darkmoon> (I know)
[21:11] <@Marty> Darkmoon steps out from the Aether and is suddenly on top of a hospital.
[21:11] <@Marty> You are just there. You were there for everything you 'missed'.
[21:11] * Marty wonders where Veruth is?
[21:12] <@Sam> (I have no idea what's going on )
[21:12] <@Lupin> (Socializing.)
[21:12] <@Lupin> (We're standing on top of a hospital, waiting for people.)
[21:12] <@Sam> (waiting? what happened to the chopper?)
[21:12] <@Marty> "Four of the five islands shouldn't be affected, but they're living conditions are so low tech that they have no way of reaching the outside world."
[21:13] <@Marty> The chopper is idling, the pilots are on the radio.
[21:13] * Darkmoon walks over to check on Veruth.
[21:13] <@Marty> (Since Veruth isn't here... gah. There goes reality for ya)
[21:13] <@Sam> (heh)
[21:13] <@Marty> Veruth fell asleep.
[21:14] <@Marty> His bandages need changing and he needs a new IV. The good doctor carried a medical pack with him.
[21:14] <@Sam> (good doctor = one of us?)
[21:15] <@Ralith> (no, Marty)
[21:15] <@Sam> (ah)
[21:15] <@Ralith> "By the way, if I may ask... what's with the eyes?"
[21:15] <@Marty> (lol)
[21:15] <@Lupin> "They... red."
[21:15] <@Sam> "...Yeah..."
[21:15] * Aki nods
[21:15] <@Ralith> "Periodically. When you're you."
[21:16] <@Marty> "Oh, I have my moments."
[21:16] <@Ralith> (oh, Aki, didn't notice you )
[21:16] <@Marty> (hiya Aki!)
[21:16] <@Ralith> "A bit longer than a moment."
[21:16] <@Marty> (The Unseen City will be getting started shortly, everyone remember our... 'treat' we have for them?)
[21:16] <@Sam> (?)
[21:16] <@Lupin> (Yep)
[21:16] <@Ralith> (yup)
[21:16] * Darkmoon gets to work making sure Veruth is comfortable...ignoring Marty, who makes her feel strange.
[21:17] <@Lupin> "One last thing, how the hell are we supposed to get back?"
[21:17] <@Marty> "Yes. A simple explanation will do best I suppose." he says matter-of-factly.
[21:17] <@Lupin> "Swimming isn't an option."
[21:17] * Sam assists Darkmoon
[21:17] <@Ralith> (gah, can we give him one question at a time?)
[21:17] <@Marty> Veruth is in good hands.
[21:17] <@Ralith> (I want to know what's up with the MPD.)
[21:18] <@Lupin> "But finish what you were going to say first."
[21:18] <@Marty> (that's for The Unseen City - we'll all be playing the same character and all of his personalities)
[21:18] * Marty nods.
[21:19] <@Marty> "Fate has twisted my role in so many ways that not even God can tell me where to go anymore."
[21:19] <@Marty> "I disobey the rule of law, the laws of nature and the laws of science."
[21:19] <@Marty> "And I love it."
[21:19] <@Sam> (gah... family... bbs)
[21:20] <@Ralith> "I'd just like to know what's up with the multiple personalities."
[21:20] <@Marty> "Does this middle aged balding doctor look anything like the gun-toting Marty you remember?"
[21:20] <@Marty> "I'll put it into four words for you."
[21:20] <@Ralith> "No. But you've got that scar."
[21:21] <@Marty> "I haven't left Chicago." The scar fades away in front of your eyes.
[21:21] * Ralith stares.
[21:21] <@Marty> His eyes are still reddish though.
[21:21] * Aki blinks...
[21:21] * Darkmoon growls low under her breath. If Marty really does disrupt the balance of the world, than that would explain the wrongness she feels around him.
[21:21] * Lupin looks sideways.
[21:22] <@Ralith> "How...?"
[21:22] <@Marty> "Right now, like it or not, I'm about the only thing in the way between your race and oblivion. How did I do it? I had to give my life away."
[21:22] <@Lupin> "You've been very busy in the past 3 days."
[21:24] <@Marty> "Yes. I have. Things... got mixed up within me. It took some help, but I got things... sorted out."
[21:24] <@Marty> Another helicopter lands on the helo pad adjacent to the helicopter from Chicago.
[21:24] <@Darkmoon> "Help from wha-.. whom?"
[21:24] * Lupin looks at the other helicopter.
[21:26] <@Marty> It is a slightly smaller chopper, with a big dome of glass for the pilots and a slightly smaller area in the back.
[21:28] <@Marty> "A good, old friend of mine."
[21:28] <@Ralith> "As curious as I am, there are more important things at hand. How and when are we going to get off this island?"
[21:28] <@Marty> "We'll figure that out quite soon. I'll find a way to get you off the island. You won't shoot me down, I trust."
[21:28] * Marty walks towards the other helicopter, after getting a thumbs up from the pilots that it is safe to do so, and stops at the cabin of the helo to strike up a short conversation with the pilots.
[21:29] <@Marty> He walks back to you. "These two pilots aren't mine, so don't say anything...just be discreet."
[21:29] <@Lupin> "I would like to point out, that we're not exactly human. Biting isn't the only way to get lycanthropy."
[21:30] <@Lupin> "So it isn't exactly 'our race' we're saving when as we save humanity."
[21:30] <@Marty> "If that's the case, then ask your self, here, now - just how badly do you want to save the world? If it's not that bad, they can get you back in time for the football game."

[21:32] <@Marty> (/me mixed up info again)
[21:32] <@Ralith> (well, he could still say that)
[21:32] <@Lupin> (Heh.)
[21:32] <@Ralith> (as a metaphor for going back to normal)
[21:32] <@Marty> (yeah, I guess so) It's about 1100 now.
[21:33] <@Darkmoon> (ugg parents...bbl)
[21:33] <@Ralith> (:/ cya)
[21:33] <@Lupin> "They're pretty quick, and while we had plans for the game, they were a last resort."
[21:33] <@Marty> "So, clocks are ticking. What'll it be? Chopper and beaches, or Bears and Packers?"
[21:33] <@Lupin> "Oddly enough this a bit more... acceptable."
[21:33] * Ralith nods.
[21:33] <@Ralith> "And more likely to succeed, at that."
[21:33] <@Ralith> "Not to mention that I'd appreciate a while not being shot at."
[21:34] <@Marty> "Besides, if you want to see more football, the Superbowl will be taking place in Detriot this year."
[21:34] <@Lupin> (My last sentence needs a comma.)
[21:34] <@Marty> (study English some more)
[21:34] <@Ralith> "Which reminds me-- we suspect that we're being tracked remotely somehow."
[21:34] <@Ralith> "Twice now hunters have appeard out of nowhere."
[21:34] <@Marty> "Oh good. Competition."
[21:34] <@Marty> "Any ideas?"
[21:35] <@Ralith> "The only thing we can think of is some sort of implant in those from the silo."
[21:35] * Aki nods.
[21:35] <@Sam> (this isn't working... parents getting angry :/)
[21:35] <@Lupin> "We need access to a x-ray machine of some sort."

[21:37] <@Marty> "Well, I have some things left to do here in Washington. Expect to see this mug on the news."
[21:37] <@Marty> (rofl)
[21:37] * Marty stands by a small shack that doubtlessly leads to an elevator.
[21:38] <@Marty> The new, expanded, Hewey-like chopper is idling. The old helo takes off back for Chicago.
[21:39] <@Ralith> (did he not hear the bit about the xray?)
[21:39] * Lupin walks over to the new chopper and gets in.
[21:39] <@Marty> (what about huh?)
[21:39] <@Ralith> (xray!)
[21:39] <@Ralith> (
[21:39] <@Ralith> [19:35] <Lupin> "We need access to a x-ray machine of some sort.")
[21:39] <@Ralith> (am I the only one that saw that?)
[21:39] <@Lupin> (I saw it.)
[21:40] <@Marty> (lol you wrote it)
[21:40] <@Ralith> (so what're you doing in the heli? )
[21:40] <@Marty> door
[21:40] <@Lupin> (I just figured he was ignoring me.)
[21:40] <@Ralith> (gah)
[21:41] <@Lupin> (Not like he hasn't done it befor.)
[21:41] <@Lupin> (Not like he hasn't done it before.)
[21:41] <@Ralith> (yeah, but this is kind of important )
[21:42] <@Ralith> (he clearly wants noone on the island.)
[21:42] <@Marty> (huh?)
[21:42] <@Marty> "What are you waiting for?"
[21:42] <@Ralith> (so it's in his interest that any tracking device gets removed.)
[21:43] <@Ralith> (so, er, is he ignoring Lupin or not?)
[21:43] <@Marty> (he's not)
[21:43] <@Marty> (PM me or SOMETHING if you think you're being ignored)
[21:43] <@Marty> (it's one typist vs... five?)
[21:43] <@Ralith> (I'm still confused. Shouldn't he have responded?)
[21:44] <@Ralith> (Lupin said everything but "Can we please borrow your X-ray machine?")
[21:44] <@Marty> (yes, but I missed the quistion)
[21:44] <@Ralith> (what?)
[21:44] <@Marty> (Last game, you guys took off in a helicopter. This game, it landed at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.)
[21:45] <@Ralith> (...yeah, we know.)
[21:45] <@Ralith> (I think there's a disconnect somewhere around here.)
[21:45] <@Marty> (so, I'm giving you a chance to ask again now)
[21:45] <@Ralith> (Lupin just asked.)
[21:45] <@Marty> (yes - I missed the question earlier, and it was brought... no - I see it at 19:35, two hours ago)
[21:46] <@Marty> (nm... I see it now)
[21:46] <@Lupin> ([21:35] <Lupin> "We need access to a x-ray machine of some sort.")
[21:46] <@Ralith> (ok, good.)
[21:46] * Marty disconnects by unplugging his brain)
[21:46] <@Ralith> (I already quoted it once )
[21:46] <@Lupin> (It's not exactly a question, but it means the same thing.)
[21:46] * Marty rewinds.
[21:46] <@Lupin> (I was adding something to it.)
[21:46] <@Lupin> (:P)
[21:47] <@Marty> He's standing with you once again. The other helicopter has landed.
[21:47] <@Marty> "Someone said something about an X-ray?"
[21:47] <@Lupin> "Yeah, we need to figure out if we're bugged."
[21:47] <@Marty> "Crap."
[21:48] <@Marty> "I might've been able to do that in Chicago."
[21:48] <@Lupin> "This isn't going to work if people keep dropping in on us."
[21:48] <@Ralith> "Well, you didn't exactly give us much oppertunity to speak with you."
[21:49] <@Marty> "If the people tracking you had control of a silo, would you think satellites would be too much?"
[21:49] <@Marty> "Let's do this."
[21:49] * Marty 's eyes shine red with glee.
[21:50] <@Lupin> "Last time I checked, they don't have any greater resolution than a meter. And that's because of physics."
[21:50] <@Marty> "than a meter?"
[21:51] <@Ralith> "And thus tracking us even across a single trip in a single vehicle would be all but impossible."
[21:51] * Marty holds out his hands to indicate about the length of a yard. "A meter?"
[21:51] <@Marty> "Oh, the satellites, not the x-rays."
[21:51] <@Lupin> "Yeah."
[21:51] <@Marty> "Then riddle me this, how can they read the liscence plates off of cars?"
[21:53] <@Marty> "Anyhow, you still may be bugged."
[21:53] <@Ralith> "...They can do that?"
[21:53] <@Ralith> "Yeah."
[21:54] <@Ralith> "It's possible, and depending on how they're set up perhaps even easy, to lose tracking by satellite or something. A beacon, passive or active, is another matter."
[21:54] <@Marty> "Yes it is."
[21:55] <@Marty> "Which is why I'm waiting for security to get up here when they detect it."
[21:55] <@Marty> "Cell phones are downright wrong. But tracking devices in a military hospital are even worse."
[21:56] * Marty taps his feet inpatiently.
[21:56] <@Marty> Oddly, he does this at the same time.
[21:56] <@Marty> He looks really funny doing it.
[21:56] <@Ralith> "You're assuming it's detectable by whatever equipment they have."
[21:56] <@Ralith> (at the same time as what?)
[21:57] <@Marty> "Yes."
[21:57] <@Marty> (try tapping both feet while standing on them and see what happens. I am NOT liable for any injuries incurred.)
[21:58] <@Ralith> (ah)
[21:58] <@Marty> "So, you'd rather the X-ray?"
[21:59] * Marty starts walking towards the door and sighs.
[21:59] <@Marty> The noise up here is loud and the wind great, from the helicopters.
[21:59] <@Ralith> "Well, I'd rather not take unecessary risks."
[21:59] * Ralith follows.

[Lupin]

[22:01] * Akela has quit (Quit: Leaving)
[22:01] <Marty> The doctor walks up to the door, and presses the 'call' button, looking behind to ensure that everyone is with him.
[22:01] <Marty> (bye?)
[22:01] * Lupin follows Ralith and Marty
[22:01] <Marty> (do we have any other players actually playing at the moment?)
[22:02] * Aki follows
[22:02] <Marty> The door clicks, and Marty opens it, revealing a service elevator.
[22:02] <Marty> 'Emergency 1st Floor' reads a big sign.
[22:03] * Marty rushes in as if he was in a hurry, and presses the 'up' button, then starts tapping a foot.
[22:03] <Ralith> (up? from the roof?)
[22:03] <Marty> (gah...for the stairway to heaven?)
[22:03] <Marty> >.<
[22:04] <Marty> *down button
[22:04] <Lupin> (Heh)
[22:04] <Aki> (You'd need to buy that stairway first. )
[22:04] <Marty> "Any of you actually from the Chicago area?"
[22:04] <Marty> (lol)
[22:04] <Ralith> "Not that I'm aware of. It's anyone's guess with those from the silo, though."
[22:05] <Marty> "None of you?"
[22:05] * Aki shakes his head.
[22:05] <Marty> !d20 intelligence
[22:05] <Lycaon> Marty rolled d20 for a total of 20 intelligence
[22:05] <Aki> (O.o)
[22:06] <Marty> The elevator door opens.
[22:06] <Lupin> !google 1.22*(3*10^-7)*(1.5*10^5)/(1.5*10^-2)
[22:06] <Lycaon> Lupin: (1.22 * (3 * (10^-7)) * (1.5 * (10^5))) / (1.5 * (10^-2)) = 3.66
[22:06] <Marty> He walks in, helping lead the stretcher in.
[22:06] <Marty> (cheating on homework?)
[22:07] * Marty presses the door open button.
[22:07] * Lupin follows Ralith and the stretcher in.
[22:07] <Marty> He presses the 'close door' button once everyone's in.
[22:07] <Lupin> (To read licence plate letters, one would need a 3.66 m diameter mirror, before atmosphereic distortion.)
[22:08] <Marty> (ahh)
[22:08] <Lupin> !google 3.66m in feet
[22:08] <Lycaon> Lupin: 3.66 meters = 12.007874 feet
[22:08] <Marty> (thanks)
[22:08] <Marty> *cough*
[22:09] <Lupin> (Wow, I didn't realize it would be that large.)
[22:09] <Marty> "When you were at the scene, tending to the wounded, somebody set off a pipe bomb. You all may have shrapnel, eventhough we've removed what we could on the way.
[22:10] <Marty> "So, this will take a second..."
[22:10] <Lupin> "Huh?.. oh okay."
[22:10] <Marty> (how big is Hubble's mirror?)
[22:10] <Marty> "and it won't hurt a bit." He winks.
[22:10] <Ralith> (is it even possible to aim hubble at the planet?)
[22:11] <Marty> The whites of Marty's eyes turn a blood red, and he stares directly at Ralith.
[22:11] <Marty> (yes, though I'm not speaking about Hubble itself)
[22:11] * Ralith looks back, perplexed.
[22:12] <Vilkacis> (Hubble's mirror is 2.4m in diameter, and that's relatively small)
[22:12] <Lupin> (2.4m)
[22:12] <Marty> (2/3 of the required size)
[22:12] * Ralith winces, holding his side.
[22:13] <Marty> Blood begins to stain Ralith's clothing on his left side from many spots.
[22:13] <Lupin> (For telescope mirrors, yes, but it has the advantage that it's not on the planet.)
[22:13] <Marty> Though the stains spread very slowly. Marty closes his eyes and shakes his head.
[22:13] * Aki stares at Ralith, surprised.
[22:13] <Ralith> "What... the.."
[22:13] * Marty stares at Aki, with his eyes wide open.
[22:13] * Lupin turns to look at Ralith "What the hell?"
[22:13] * Ralith grits his teeth, glaring at Marty
[22:14] <Ralith> "I think... he's... trying to... back up his... story."
[22:14] * Ralith leans against the wall.
[22:14] <Marty> Aki begins to bleed on his back.
[22:15] <Lupin> "Oh lovely..."
[22:15] * Marty closes his eyes, he looks very tired.
[22:15] * Aki grits his teeth, restraining a snarl.
[22:15] <Ralith> (Aki, you there?)
[22:15] <Ralith> (ok)
[22:15] <Marty> He opens them once again and stares at Lupin.
[22:15] <Marty> "You... were.... on...the.... other... side..."
[22:16] -Marty- Your right side, out side of your right arm from about the butt to the shoulder starts to feel like three thousand toothpicks were inserted and retracked.
[22:16] * Marty sighs visibly as Lupin starts to bleed on the right side, from butt to shoulder.
[22:17] * Marty slumps to the floor, looking like he's asleep.
[22:17] * Lupin sways a bit and grabs his right side, grimacing.
[22:18] <Marty> He eecks out a short sentence. "s***. I'm dying."
[22:18] * Aki blinks in disbelief...
[22:18] <Ralith> "Was this... entirely... necessary?"
[22:18] <Marty> The doctor is slumped.
[22:19] * Ralith moves over to him, wincing as his wound is agitated, and nudges him with his foot.
[22:19] <Marty> The elevator starts it's descent.
[22:19] <Marty> The doctor doesn't respond.
[22:20] <Marty> His head is slumped.
[22:20] <Ralith> "f***... what now?"
[22:20] <Ralith> "What... are we... going to... say?"
[22:20] * Lupin inches his way over to the doctor, and slowly lifts his head up.
[22:21] <Marty> There is blood by the corners of his eyes, and he is quite dead.
[22:21] <Lupin> "Well... "
[22:22] * Ralith leans against the wall again.
[22:22] <Lupin> "We could tell them... that he started clutching his chest."
[22:22] <Marty> 5th floor
[22:22] * Lupin gasps "And pass it off as a heart attack or something."
[22:23] <Ralith> "I'm in no... condition to... do much talking. Just... take care of it."
[22:23] <Marty> 4th floor
[22:23] * Aki huffs dismissively at Ralith's comment, as if to say 'At least you could talk'.
[22:23] <Marty> (sorry, slow elevator)
[22:24] <Marty> (I'll speed up)
[22:24] * Ralith slides down the wall, falling into a sort of slumped sitting position.
[22:24] <Marty> 3rd floor
[22:25] <Marty> 2nd floor
[22:25] <Marty> 1st floor
[22:26] <Marty> The elevator stops the door opens into a large room with four exits you can see.
[22:27] <Marty> In front of you, there is a desk with Triage Nurse sign above it, a fat lady in nurse clothes with blond hair sitting at a computer.
[22:27] * Lupin stumbles to the door, and at the nurse.
[22:27] <Marty> She doesn't look up from it as the doors open, but several soldiers sitting in chairs do, eyebrows raised.
[22:27] * Ralith hauls himself to his feet
[22:27] * Lupin gives a painful groan "Hey! We need some help in here."
[22:28] <Marty> Several soldiers move up to help you move and move the stretcher, one of them yelling "hey Hey HEY NURSE!"
[22:28] <Marty> "Wake the hell up and fix these people!"
[22:28] <Marty> The nurse looks up "We don't use that kind of language here grunt."
[22:29] <Marty> She looks up, sees the emergency and calls in several other nurses.
[22:29] <Marty> "We need a room, and you know what to do."
[22:30] <Marty> She leads the soldiers helping you to a room with four beds in it, and has you all moved in there.
[22:30] <Marty> (Veruth is now in the Aether)
[22:30] <Marty> They begin working on you immediately.
[22:30] <Marty> "What happened?"
[22:31] <Marty> (the nurse asks generally)
[22:31] <Ralith> "Pipe... bomb."
[22:31] <Marty> The soldiers are shoved out of the room.
[22:31] <Lupin> "We were invstigating a scene... and yeah"
[22:31] <Marty> "Hang in there guys."
[22:32] * Aki whimpers.
[22:32] <Marty> The docs are on their way. And the dead doctor?
[22:33] <Marty> She moves over to Aki.
[22:33] <Marty> "We're not a veterinary clnic..."
[22:33] <Marty> "But I'll do my best."
[22:33] <Lupin> "He started clutching his chest.... I think it was a heart attack..."
[22:34] <Marty> "Well, he doesn't seem to be looking very good."
[22:34] * Lupin inales sharply.
[22:34] <Marty> She goes first to Aki and bandages him as best she can.
[22:34] <Marty> !d20+5 medical
[22:34] <Lycaon> Marty rolled d20 + 5 for a total of 14 medical
[22:34] * Aki mentally curses Marty's lack of fore-thought in regards to his condition.
[22:35] <Marty> She moves to Lupin, in the next bed, and patches him up.
[22:35] <Marty> !d20+9 medical
[22:35] <Lycaon> Marty rolled d20 + 9 for a total of 29 medical
[22:35] <Marty> "You'll be fine."
[22:36] <Ralith> (your nick's outdated again, btw)
[22:36] <Marty> (hehe)
[22:36] * Marty is now known as Nurse
[22:36] <Lupin> "But... We're not sure if there is any more shrapnel left."
[22:36] <Lupin> "We came to get x-rays."
[22:36] * Nurse moves to Ralith and patches him up.
[22:36] <Nurse> !d20+9 medical
[22:36] <Lycaon> Nurse rolled d20 + 9 for a total of 27 medical
[22:36] <Ralith> (whew)
[22:37] <Nurse> (the other members of the group are here)
[22:37] <Nurse> "X-rays will come in a minute."
[22:38] <Nurse> "Let's get you all there now."
[22:39] <Nurse> "Was this all from a pipe-bomb?"
[22:40] <Nurse> "Well, rest for a minute, I'll be back with documents for X-rays. Names please?"
[22:40] <Lupin> "We were just in the wrong place at the wrong time."
[22:41] <Nurse> "Sounds like it."
[22:41] <Lupin> "Nicholas."
[22:41] <Aki> "Woof."
[22:42] <Nurse> "Nick, woof, um, does this dog have a name?"
[22:42] <Nurse> "What breed is hee?"
[22:42] <Nurse> *he
[22:43] <Lupin> "Ryan. He's a Husky."
[22:43] <Nurse> !d20+5 knowledge caninies.
[22:43] <Lycaon> Nurse rolled d20 + 5 for a total of 12 knowledge caninies.
[22:43] <Nurse> "Oh, ok. And whose this other guy?"
[22:44] <Ralith> "Name's... Elliot Johnson."
[22:44] <Nurse> "Ok."
[22:44] * Nurse leaves, and an eternity passes.
[22:44] <Nurse> She opens the door and returns with some papers in hand.
[22:44] * Ralith waves at eternity
[22:44] <Aki> (* Eternity pouts)
[22:45] <Aki> (:P)
[22:45] <Nurse> (lol)
[22:45] <Nurse> She asks, "Can any of you walk?"
[22:45] <Ralith> "A bit."
[22:46] <Lupin> "Yeah."
[22:46] <Nurse> "Ok. Since there are a lot of you (seven or eight), we're all going to the MRI room.
[22:47] <Nurse> "Are any of you claustrophobic?"
[22:48] <Ralith> "No."
[22:48] * Veruth (~Owner@*.ipt.aol.com) has joined #paradice
[22:48] <Nurse> (wb)
[22:48] <Aki> (wb)
[22:49] <Ralith> (wb)
[22:49] <Nurse> Very well. Follow me. I'll move the stretcher.
[22:49] <Lupin> (wb)
[22:49] <Nurse> The nurse gets behind Veruth and starts leading you down the hallway.
[22:50] <Nurse> You pass a few more rooms, and turn into one labeled 'radiology'
[22:50] <Veruth> (What've I missed?)
[22:51] <Ralith> (typing summary)
[22:51] <Lupin> (Marty did some weird s***, and now we're all bleeding.)
[22:51] <Lupin> (He's also 'dead' now.)
[22:51] <Nurse> The nurse pulls the stretcher in first. "We're looking for a bullet," she says to the techs.
[22:52] <Nurse> She lines the stretcher with the MRI machine thing. It does it's thing.
[22:52] <Nurse> (you all know what an MRI does?"
[22:52] <Ralith> (we've landed the chopper, gotten out, decided to get xrays in case anyone was bugged, marty (who apparently isn't technically alive, and was also posessing the doctor) somehow gave us all nasty injuries to cover the story, killing the doctor in the process, and now we're about to be treated.)
[22:53] <Aki> (No, Nurse. )
[22:53] <Ralith> (oh, and we're supposed to use the malta military's weaponry, and someone'll pick us up eventually)
[22:53] * Nurse skips this part...
[22:53] <Ralith> (there's also a chopper waiting for us on the roof)
[22:54] <Nurse> Each of you go through individually, and the MRI does it's thing (when I went through one, I was knocked out... so they probably saw my fantasies or something)
[22:55] <Veruth> (okay, where am I?)
[22:55] <Nurse> The nurse gets a doctor to come in. An elederly man with a white moustache and a ring of white hair.
[22:55] <Ralith> (with us)
[22:55] <Nurse> He goes into the control room and looks at the results.
[22:55] <Nurse> The nurse tells you to go back to your room.
[22:55] <Nurse> (which now has another bed, fancy that)
[22:56] * Ralith goes back in a slightly stumbly manner
[22:56] <Nurse> The bleeding has stopped.
[22:57] <Nurse> The sheets were changed while you were gone.
[22:57] <Nurse> The stains you made in them are gone with the sheets.
[22:57] <Nurse> It smells... sterile here.
[22:57] <Nurse> The doctor comes in about ten minutes later.
[22:58] * Lupin watches the doctor as he enters.
[22:58] <Nurse> "Do any of you have any business in an Army hospital?"
[22:58] * Ralith stares at the ceiling
[22:59] * Nurse is now known as Doctor

[Lupin]

[23:00] * Lupin motions to Veruth. "He did, evidently."
[23:00] <@Doctor> "First of all, you are all fine, except that we need to remove some metal from (Torrent)."
[23:00] <@Doctor> "How so...Nick?"
[23:01] <@Doctor> The doctor shuffles over. He's a real old-looking Colonel.
[23:01] <@Doctor> He hovers over Veruth.
[23:01] <@Lupin> "Don't ask me. The doctor we came with said it."
[23:02] <@Doctor> "No dog tags, do you have an ID card?"
[23:02] <Veruth> (I don't do I?)
[23:03] <@Doctor> (nope)
[23:03] <Veruth> "Well, we were kinda rushed over here, I didn't bring anything"
[23:03] <@Doctor> "I see."
[23:04] <@Ralith> (So do I! Not much, though. Just this boring ceiling.)
[23:04] <@Doctor> (lol)
[23:05] <@Ralith> (btw, did they take blood samples?)
[23:05] <@Doctor> (no)
[23:05] <@Ralith> (whew)
[23:05] * Ralith shifts slightly, looking at the doctor.
[23:05] <@Ralith> (shifts position, that is )
[23:06] <@Doctor> "Well, here's your progrnosis. (Torrent) will go into surgery, while we pull some metal out of him. The rest of you will stay here while that happens, then we'll let you out with a note not to do anything strenuous for three days."
[23:06] <@Doctor> (lol pun)
[23:06] <@Aki> (lol)
[23:06] <@Ralith> (?)
[23:06] <@Doctor> The doc goes to Torrent and helps him stand up, and they leave the room."
[23:06] * Ralith looks a bit relieved.
[23:06] <@Doctor> 'Ralith shifts slightly'
[23:07] <@Ralith> (ah)
[23:07] <@Lupin> (Hehe)
[23:07] <@Ralith> "So, how are we... getting back... to the roof?"
[23:07] <@Lupin> "Elevator."
[23:08] <@Doctor> (anything you need to talk about?)
[23:08] <@Ralith> "They'll be expecting... us to use the... front door."
[23:09] <@Doctor> After a couple hours, the doctor returns, an abdominal bandage on Torrent.
[23:09] <@Doctor> (Torrent now steps back into the Aether)
[23:10] <@Ralith> (I was waiting for Lupin to respond )
[23:11] <@Doctor> "Ok. I need to go see to other patients. You can see yourselves out."
[23:11] <@Ralith> "Thanks."
[23:11] <@Ralith> (convenient.)
[23:11] <@Doctor> "Take a left just outside this door, and sign out of the hospital"
[23:11] <@Doctor> The doc sighs, and leaves.
[23:11] * Ralith pulls himself up, wincing a little.
[23:11] <@Ralith> "Great. Let's be off."
[23:12] * Lupin sits up, slowly. "Yeah."
[23:12] <@Doctor> (/me yawns a lot now)
[23:12] <@Ralith> (*injects Baph with caffine*)
[23:13] <@Ralith> (It's only 11!)
[23:13] <@Doctor> You leave the room, and see the triage nurses' desk.
[23:14] <Veruth> (There's no way I can read what's already happened is there?)
[23:14] <@Ralith> (is she at all alert?)
[23:14] <@Lupin> (Not right now, I'm about to split and post logs though.)
[23:14] <@Ralith> (well, you don't need to that badly.)
[23:14] <@Doctor> (yes, she's looking at you)
[23:14] <@Ralith> (are you going to stay in the room, Veruth? ;) )
[23:14] <Veruth> (Am I able to walk now?)
[23:15] <@Ralith> (baph?)
[23:15] <@Doctor> (you'll need help to hobble, so that they'll let you out....)
[23:16] * Ralith goes back to help out Veruth.
[23:16] <Veruth> "Thanks"
[23:16] * Ralith speaks quietly once they've rejoined Lupin. "Any ideas how to get past her?"
[23:17] <@Doctor> "Could you please sign out on this roster?"
[23:17] * Doctor is now known as Triage_nurse
[23:17] * Ralith gives channel operator status to Veruth
[23:17] * Lupin speaks softly "Well most of these places have multiple elevators. We'll just have to find one she's not watching."
[23:18] <@Ralith> "Right."
[23:18] * Lupin walks over to the nurse and sings out. "Sure."
[23:18] * Ralith and Veruth do the same.
[23:18] <@Triage_nurse> The roster has name, address phone number and time out
[23:19] * Aki is glad for one thing about being stuck like this: No paperwork.
[23:19] * Ralith fills in "Elliot Johnson" for name, and looks around for a clock.
[23:20] <@Triage_nurse> It's 1325
[23:20] * Ralith puts that in time.
[23:20] <@Triage_nurse> (ok gotta break for a bit)
[23:20] <@Triage_nurse> (bbiab)
[23:20] <@Ralith> (k)
[23:20] * Lupin fills out the paper using "Nicholas Suan" and makes up some plausable sounding address
[23:20] <@Aki> (k)
[23:20] <@Lupin> (okay)
[23:20] <@Veruth> (I guess I can get a little more caught up then)
[23:21] * Ralith copies the form of Lupin's address, replacing the specific names with stuff from the top of his head.
[23:22] <@Veruth> (I'm guessing I don't need an alias yet since I'm supposed to be here correct?)
[23:22] <@Lupin> (Makes sense.)
[23:22] <@Ralith> (well, most of the alias's are just excuses to get a more plausable name.)
[23:22] <@Ralith> (Mine is because I don't really have a proper name.)
[23:22] <@Ralith> (Or at least, one that won't draw stares.)
[23:23] <@Lupin> (Mine is because I exist, and don't really want to be associated with anything here.)
[23:23] <@Lupin> (Also I wanted to use my real name.)
[23:24] * Akela (~Mr_@*.hsd1.mi.comcast.net) has joined #paradice
[23:24] * Akela gives channel operator status to Akela
[23:24] Akela Aki
[23:24] Akela Aki
[23:24] <@Lupin> (wb Akela )
[23:25] <@Veruth> (alright, then as far as plausibility goes. I need another name other than Veruth don't I?)
[23:25] <@Veruth> (wb Akela)
[23:25] <@Ralith> (that would be nice, yes.)
[23:25] <@Ralith> (though you could do interesting things with backstory)
[23:26] <@Ralith> (I, for example, have an excuse for a screwey name )
[23:27] <@Lupin> (My explination is that my parents had an odd sense of humor.)
[23:27] <@Triage_nurse> (lol)
[23:27] <@Triage_nurse> (I've returned)
[23:27] <@Lupin> (wb)
[23:27] <@Ralith> (well, that's just a middle name, though)
[23:27] <@Ralith> (middle names are allowed to be weird.)
[23:27] <@Veruth> (I do need some backstory)
[23:28] <@Triage_nurse> Being done with the sign out roster, the doors to that elevator and the doors into the main hospital are in front of you.
[23:28] * Veruth glances back at the nurse
[23:28] * Lupin starts to walk out the door to the elevator.
[23:29] * Ralith follows Lupin, also glancing back at the nurse.
[23:29] * Aki follows, not glancing back.
[23:29] * Veruth using Ralith for support follows Lupin
[23:30] <@Triage_nurse> The hallway leads to the front doors to the hospital
[23:30] <@Triage_nurse> (my god I can't keep my eyes open)
[23:30] <@Ralith> (er...)
[23:30] <@Ralith> (
[23:30] <@Ralith> [21:29] * Lupin starts to walk out the door to the elevator.)
[23:31] <@Lupin> (wormhole!)
[23:31] <@Triage_nurse> (ack yes, the elevator is available)
[23:31] <@Triage_nurse> (lol)
[23:33] <@Lupin> (brb)
[23:33] <@Triage_nurse> The elevator is in front of you.
[23:33] <@Ralith> (Lupin, are you going to just sit there staring at the elevator? )
[23:35] <@Lupin> (I was away.)
[23:35] <@Ralith> (yeh )
[23:35] * Lupin presses the 'Up' arrow on the elevator.
[23:35] <@Triage_nurse> (not the 'down' arrow?)
[23:35] <@Ralith> (to heaven!)
[23:35] <@Triage_nurse> The elevator door opens.
[23:35] <@Ralith> (or the roof.)
[23:36] * Ralith walks in, supporting Veruth.
[23:36] * Lupin walks in
[23:36] * Veruth winces slightly, then shuffles along with Ralith
[23:36] * Aki walks in
[23:36] <@Triage_nurse> Everyone is in the elevator.
[23:36] * Lupin hits the button going to the roof, then the "Door Close" button.
[23:37] <@Triage_nurse> The elevator starts going up.
[23:37] <@Triage_nurse> (because I assume you also hit the R button)
[23:38] <@Lupin> (If that's the 'button going to the roof', yes.)
[23:38] <@Triage_nurse> 2nd floor
[23:38] <@Triage_nurse> 3rd floor
[23:38] <@Triage_nurse> 4th floor
[23:38] <@Triage_nurse> (it's faster this time)
[23:38] <@Triage_nurse> 5th floor
[23:38] <@Triage_nurse> 6th floor
[23:38] <@Triage_nurse> 7th floor
[23:38] <@Triage_nurse> 8th floor
[23:38] <@Triage_nurse> Roof
[23:38] <@Triage_nurse> The elevator stops.
[23:39] <@Triage_nurse> The door opens, and yoiu see the other door to the 'shed'
[23:39] * Ralith opens it.
[23:39] Veruth Vilkacis-busy
[23:39] * Lupin helps Ralith and Veruth out
[23:39] <@Triage_nurse> There is an empty roof in front of you.
[23:40] <@Ralith> "Crap."
[23:40] <@Lupin> "I suppose they got tired of waiting."
[23:40] * Ralith exits and looks around the sky and the ground that he can see.
[23:40] <@Triage_nurse> Roll awareness
[23:40] * Veruth looks around then sighs
[23:40] <@Ralith> !d20+9.5 awareness
[23:40] <+Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 9.5 for a total of 14.5 awareness
[23:40] <@Ralith> (I never roll high awareness. Never.)
[23:41] <@Triage_nurse> (hehe)
[23:41] <@Aki> !d20+9 Awereness
[23:41] <+Lycaon> Aki rolled d20 + 9 for a total of 27 Awereness
[23:41] * Lupin looks around with Ralith
[23:41] <@Lupin> !d20+11 awareness
[23:41] <+Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 + 11 for a total of 12 awareness
[23:41] <@Lupin> (Hahahaha)
[23:41] <@Aki> (hah, the pun rolled high!)
[23:41] <@Veruth> !d20
[23:41] <+Lycaon> Veruth rolled d20 for a total of 8.
[23:41] <@Ralith> (funny, lycaon normally hates puns)
[23:41] * Aki looks off into the distance...
[23:42] -Triage_nurse- you see clouds and sky
[23:42] * Ralith follows Aki's line of sight.
[23:42] <@Triage_nurse> There is a little helicopter way out in the distance.
[23:42] Akela Aki
[23:42] <@Triage_nurse> They are following an interstate.
[23:43] * Triage_nurse is now known as Baphnedia
[23:43] <@Lupin> "Great."
[23:43] <@Ralith> "Gah. What now?"
[23:43] <@Lupin> "We go back downstairs and hail a cab?"
[23:43] <@Ralith> "Where to?"
[23:44] <@Lupin> "A resturant."
[23:44] <@Lupin> "I'm still hungry."
[23:44] <@Ralith> "Not a bad idea. But we still should get to Malta."
[23:45] <@Veruth> "Come to think of it I haven't eaten in a while either"
[23:45] * Lupin turns around to go back to the elevator "Yeah, but I'm not sure how to get to the flight school."
[23:46] <@Veruth> "Where's it at?"
[23:46] <@Veruth> (I don't think I ever saw that paper)
[23:47] <@Baphnedia> (/me ducks out and sleeps... yes, you can go out the front door of the hospital....sry but I worked 82 hours this week)
[23:47] <@Lupin> (You didn't.)
[23:47] <@Lupin> (Let me go find it.)
[23:47] <@Ralith> (gah)
[23:47] <@Ralith> (Baph, get enough sleep, and we /will/ game tomorrow, right?)
[23:48] <@Lupin> (Wow.)
[23:50] <@Ralith> (so are we going to do anything more?)
[23:50] <@Lupin> (Still looking.)
[23:50] <@Lupin> (I'm rummaging through a bunch of different files.)
[23:50] <@Veruth> (/me wishes he'd been here from the start)
[23:51] <@Lupin> (Gaah, I can't seem to find it.)
[23:51] <@Veruth> (I don't think there's anything preventing me from being here tomorrow though)
[23:51] <@Lupin> (Ralith: do you have it?)
[23:52] <@Ralith> (theoretically)
[23:52] <@Veruth> (you could just show me and then send me what it says when you do find it)
[23:52] <@Ralith> (there, glasses cleaned)
[23:52] <@Ralith> (sec)
[23:52] Veruth Vilkacis-busy
[23:53] * Lupin hands the note to Veruth "Here, this is what the doctor handed me in the chopper."
[23:53] * Veruth uses his free hand to take the note from Lupin
[23:53] <@Ralith> It says "Arobor Creek Flight School has the AO00N Experimental 22 Aircraft. Someone will meet you there to fly you to Malta. They know all they need to know to do a beach landing."
[23:54] * Veruth hands it back after a quick examination
[23:54] * Lupin goes back to the elevator.
[23:55] <@Ralith> "So we need to get to the flight school, and ask around about that aircraft."
[23:55] <@Lupin> "Anyway, I'm sure Marty will find us again, and he'll be just as scary as ever.
[23:55] <@Ralith> "Yeah, though that doesn't mean we should just sit about waiting for him."
[23:56] <@Lupin> "Yes, but it's not like we have an address, or any means to get there right now."
[23:56] <@Lupin> "If we were getting choppered over there, I doubt it's very close."
[23:57] <@Ralith> "We should be able to drive, though."
[23:57] <@Ralith> "I guess we'll need to steal Yet Another Car."
[23:57] <@Veruth> "But we can't do anything until we know where it's at"
[23:57] <@Lupin> "Let's just go eat first."
[23:58] <@Veruth> "Steal another car? the fun never stops with you two does it?"
[23:58] * Lupin motions to the elevator buttons, "Someone want to do the honors?"
[23:58] * Ralith rolls his eyes at Lupin. "You should learn to tolerate hunger longer."
[23:58] * Ralith hits the button.
[23:58] <@Ralith> "How would you suggest we get a car, then, Veruth? We can't exactly afford a rental."
[23:58] -PsionicBlast- our network radio is broacasting until around 2pm sunday afternoon (US Central time) drop by and listen in @ http://radio.psionics.net:8000/
[23:58] <@Ralith> (gah)
[23:59] <@Lupin> "You can't expect me to just save the world on an empty stomach."
[23:59] <@Akela> (That guy is annoying )
[23:59] <@Lupin> (grrr...)
[23:59] <@Ralith> "But must it be full?"
[23:59] <@Ralith> The elevator doors open.
[23:59] * Ralith walks in.
[23:59] * Lupin walks in and hits the button for the first floor.

[Lupin]

[00:00] <@Ralith> (*poke Veruth*)
[00:00] <@Lupin> "I think better when full."
[00:00] * Veruth walks in leaning on Ralith
[00:01] <@Ralith> "I sleep better when full. A bit of hunger puts an edge on things."
[00:02] <@Ralith> (Veruth, you going to respond to what I said to you?)
[00:02] <@Lupin> "Plus, going to a resturant will give us an excuse to use their phone, and we can call information for the address."
[00:03] <@Veruth> (It's a little late now isn't it?)
[00:03] <@Lupin> (Not really.)
[00:03] <@Veruth> (things kinda moved faster than I could type)
[00:03] <@Ralith> (that's how IRC is; just respond )
[00:03] <@Ralith> "Point taken."
[00:03] <@Veruth> "I'm not against stealing a car to save the world, it's just not something I do every day"
[00:04] <@Ralith> "But /do/ you have a better idea? We're open to alternatives."
[00:05] <@Veruth> "I guess that is the only way to do it"
[00:05] <@Lupin> "If we're doing this, somone else can drive this time."
[00:05] <@Lupin> The elevator reaches the first floor, and the doors open.
[00:06] <@Ralith> "That'll be you, Veruth."
[00:06] <@Ralith> "I don't know about you, but I don't want to see how well I can drive these days."
[00:06] <@Veruth> "I'm alright with that, sitting will do me some good anyway"
[00:07] <@Veruth> "Walking around like this can't be helping any"
[00:07] <@Lupin> "I don't have my licence with me, and that caused an incident last time."
[00:07] <@Veruth> (I'm going to assume I've got a wallet on me)
[00:07] <@Lupin> "So I'll just sit in the back and hang my head out the window."
[00:07] <@Lupin> (Sounds good.)
[00:07] <@Veruth> "I've got mine"
[00:08] <@Ralith> "Now, where shall we go to eat?"
[00:09] * Lupin walks out of the elevator, and turns towards the exit. "Railth was doing that earlier, and it looked like fun."
[00:09] <@Lupin> (I half expect a comment from Veruth about this.)
[00:09] * Ralith grins. "Quite."
[00:10] <@Veruth> (I'm trying to phrase one)
[00:10] <@Ralith> "You'll have to stay human, though; we'd have trouble getting a dog served."
[00:11] <@Ralith> (so are we just standing here in the elevator, chatting?)
[00:11] <@Lupin> "Well I'd have to find a quiet place to do it anyway."
[00:11] <@Lupin> (I walked out about four lines up.)
[00:11] <@Ralith> (oh, right)
[00:11] * Ralith follows Lupin, supporting Veruth.
[00:11] <@Veruth> (So me and Ralith are still in the elevator?)
[00:11] <@Veruth> (not anymore)
[00:12] <@Ralith> "You'll get an opportunity to do it properly soon enough, I expect."
[00:13] * Veruth looks from Lupin to Ralith and shakes his head ruefully
[00:13] <@Lupin> "Yeah, I'm sure we can find a place."
[00:13] Veruth Vilkacis-busy
[00:13] * Lupin looks at Veruth after reaching the doors leading out of the hospital. "Something wrong?"
[00:13] * Ralith grins at Veruth.
[00:14] <@Veruth> "I don't think I'll ever get used to you two"
[00:14] <@Ralith> "Give it time."
[00:15] <@Ralith> "I'm sure you will eventually."
[00:15] * Vilkacis-busy is now known as Vilkacis-sleep
[00:15] * Lupin walks out "Yeah, we're not that weird."
[00:15] <@Vilkacis-sleep> (good night)
[00:15] <@Ralith> (g'night)
[00:15] <@Lupin> (Good night.)
[00:15] <@Aki> (g'night)
[00:15] <@Veruth> (night)
[00:15] * Ralith continues to follow Lupin.
[00:16] <@Veruth> "Not that wierd?"
[00:16] * Veruth laughs
[00:16] <@Ralith> "Although I suspect the process will be delayed slightly when we get to the island and shift."
[00:17] * Ralith pinches his clothing. "I'm going to enjoy getting out of these clothes."
[00:17] <@Lupin> "Well, he's going to see at least two sifts before that."
[00:17] <@Aki> "Whuff."
[00:18] <@Ralith> (Veruth, you should probably be the one to point out that what I'm wearing isn't at all appropriate for a restraunt.)
[00:18] <@Ralith> "Huh?"
[00:18] <@Veruth> (I totally forgot )
[00:18] <@Lupin> "Uh, I think so, Aki, but we'll never get a monkey to use dental floss."
[00:18] <@Ralith> (So did I, but that's because I see all clothing as pretty much the same.)
[00:19] <@Veruth> "Are you sure you should go into a restuarant looking like that?"
[00:19] <@Ralith> "Like what? I'm human, aren't I?"
[00:19] * Veruth gestures toward Ralith's Emt gear"
[00:19] <@Ralith> "Oh."
[00:19] <@Ralith> "Er. We probably should do something about this."
[00:19] <@Lupin> "Yeah, not exactly a good idea to go around like this."
[00:19] * Lupin whispers "Especially since it's stolen."
[00:20] <@Veruth> "I'm surprised you've gotten away with it this far"
[00:20] <@Ralith> "Well, let's find somewhere quiet for me to hang about while one or both of you go find something more appropriate."
[00:20] <@Lupin> "We should also find something for Aki."
[00:21] <@Ralith> "Yeah, good point."
[00:21] <@Lupin> "He looks like he wants to join in the conversation."
[00:21] <@Veruth> "but Aki's a.."
[00:21] * Aki nods
[00:21] <@Veruth> "oh yeah"
[00:21] * Ralith turns to Aki breifly. "I expect you're getting hungry by now too?"
[00:21] <@Lupin> "Aki is one of us, yes."
[00:21] <@Ralith> "Thought we explained that."
[00:22] <@Veruth> "It's still kind of a new concept"
[00:22] * Lupin wanders down the street. looking for someplace quiet.
[00:22] * Ralith , of course, follows.
[00:22] * Veruth does too
[00:23] * Aki follows.
[00:23] <@Ralith> "As I said, you'll get used to it."
[00:24] <@Lupin> "It's certainly less wierd than Marty."
[00:24] * Ralith nods.
[00:25] Veruth Vilkacis-sleep
[00:25] Akela Aki
[00:25] <@Lupin> "Too bad we don't have a pair of sunglasses, we could make Veruth and Aki out as a blind guy and his seeing-eye dog."
[00:25] <@Ralith> "We'll get by. Just need to find some dark alley somewhere."
[00:26] <@Veruth> "And some clothes"
[00:26] <@Lupin> "Yeah, the alley is easy. The clothes aren't."
[00:27] * Lupin stops and points at an alley between the hospital and another building "Here's one right now."
[00:27] <@Ralith> "Me and Aki, and potentially one of you, though I'd be wary of going off alone, can stay back there while the other(s) go shopping."
[00:28] <@Lupin> "Come to think of it, we should have stolen some scrubs from the hospital. Oh well."
[00:29] <@Veruth> "I should have some cash on me"
[00:30] <@Ralith> "We've got enough."
[00:30] <@Lupin> "Since Veruth and I are the only ones with cash, we should probably go and get some clothes while you stay here."
[00:30] * Ralith nods and sits down, leaning against the wall.
[00:30] <@Lupin> "Any prefrence in color?"
[00:31] <@Ralith> "Whatever doesn't look suspicious, though I suppose grays are always nice."
[00:31] <@Veruth> "I'm still kinda in bad shape, It would take a while"
[00:31] <@Ralith> (er, what?)
[00:32] <@Lupin> "Well they discharged you, so you can't be all that injured."
[00:32] <@Veruth> (So I can walk without help now?)
[00:32] <@Ralith> (er, good point)
[00:33] <@Ralith> "Point. You leaning on Lupin the whole time would draw almost as many stares as my clothing."
[00:33] <@Ralith> "But then, it's not that good an idea for Lupin to go off alone."
[00:33] <@Lupin> "Yeah."
[00:33] <@Veruth> (come to think of it, you were supporting me before you sat down)
[00:33] <@Veruth> (I guess I'm using the wall now)
[00:34] <@Ralith> (yeah)
[00:34] <@Ralith> "Though now that whatever that was is out of Sam, I think we're a bit safer."
[00:35] <@Ralith> "So either you risk it, Lupin, or me and Veruth trade clothes."
[00:35] <@Lupin> "It would be interesting to see the blood work they did on him."
[00:35] <@Ralith> "Heh, yeah."
[00:36] <@Lupin> (What would switching clothes do?)
[00:36] <@Veruth> "I'm more qualified to wear that anyway, I don't mind. Aki could protect both of us if the need arises"
[00:37] <@Ralith> (it would mean that I could more safely go shopping with you while Veruth stays here)
[00:37] <@Ralith> (thus attracting no attention and not leaving anyone alone)
[00:37] <@Lupin> (Ah.)
[00:38] <@Lupin> "Well, with our recent stroke of luck, it would probably be best if you trade."
[00:38] <@Ralith> "Alright then."
[00:38] * Ralith undresses, clearly having no issues with modesty.
[00:39] * Veruth takes off his clothes and hands them to Ralith
[00:39] * Ralith dons them.
[00:39] * Veruth gets into Ralith's EMT clothes
[00:41] * Ralith walks out of the alle
[00:41] <@Ralith> y
[00:41] * Veruth slowly works his way down the wall to a sitting position
[00:41] * Lupin walks out with Ralith
[00:41] * Aki lays down
[00:42] <@Lupin> "Hmm, I'm not sure where to get anything around here."
[00:42] <@Ralith> (well, I don't think me and Lupin can do anything else without baph, but I'd like to see some interaction between Aki and Veruth)
[00:44] <@Veruth> (That would probably be a good idea)
[00:45] <@Aki> (Such interaction would be limited to yes/no questions at best. )
[00:45] <@Veruth> (Yeah, that's what I'm having trouble with)
[00:45] <@Ralith> (at the most obvious level, yes)
[00:45] <@Ralith> (but there's a lot of good stuff for Veruth to work with)
[00:46] <@Ralith> (like having trouble treating you as a 'person')
[00:46] <@Veruth> (True)
[00:46] <@Ralith> (but at the same time feeling sort of stupid and/or bored just sitting there)
[00:46] <@Ralith> (so let's see what you two can pull off! )
[00:47] <@Ralith> A few minutes of uncomfortable silence pass.
[00:47] * Veruth looks over at Aki
[00:47] * Aki yawns.
[00:48] <@Veruth> "uhhh, hi?"
[00:48] <@Lupin> (*finds a store and picks out a lovely live-green shirt for Aki.* )
[00:48] <@Lupin> (*lime)
[00:49] <@Ralith> (Aki, you ignoring him? )
[00:49] * Aki looks at Veruth.
[00:49] <@Aki> "Woof."
[00:50] <@Ralith> (any expression information?)
[00:51] <@Aki> (Bored? )
[00:51] <@Veruth> (I'm just not good at this sort of thing)
[00:51] <@Lupin> (Well this is a good chance to pracitce.)
[00:52] <@Ralith> (Veruth, we can only help you so much; it's your character )
[00:52] <@Veruth> (You've got me )
[00:52] <@Veruth> (I'll do what I can)
[00:52] <@Lupin> (Well you could start with the obvious )
[00:53] <@Veruth> "umm. How ..are you?"
[00:53] <@Ralith> (Just put yourself in this situation. You're talking to a dog, and feeling a bit silly, but have reason to believe that the dog isn't a dog.)
[00:54] <@Ralith> (Basically, you get to make a fool of yourself for our (well, technically Aki's) entertainment ^_^)
[00:54] * Aki sticks his tongue out at Veruth.
[00:56] <@Veruth> "heh, yeah thanks"
[00:58] <@Veruth> "Why don't you go find a stick or something for me to throw?"
[00:59] * Aki flattens his ears against his head and gives Veruth a annoyed look.
[01:00] <@Veruth> "Sorry"
[01:00] * Aki nods
[01:00] * Veruth looks a little embarrassed
[01:01] * Aki grins wolfishly.
[01:02] <@Veruth> "at least nobody's around, I probably look like an idiot sitting here in an alley talking to a dog"
[01:02] * Aki nods.
[01:03] <@Ralith> (or like a drunk ;) )
[01:03] <@Veruth> (That too )
[01:04] <@Veruth> (I'm running out of conversation topics, it is a bit one sided)
[01:04] <@Lupin> (Well you still haven't asked him the obvious question)
[01:05] <@Ralith> (ok, even I can't guess that )
[01:06] <@Veruth> (Either I'm stupid or it's not so obvious)
[01:06] <@Lupin> ("So are you really a werewolf?")
[01:06] <@Veruth> (or a little of both )
[01:06] <@Lupin> (Blindingly obviously.)
[01:06] <@Lupin> (er... Blindingly obvious.)
[01:08] <@Veruth> "So, you're um.. a werewolf too, aren't you"
[01:08] * Aki grins and nods.
[01:10] <@Ralith> (whee...)
[01:10] <@Akela> (:P)
[01:11] <@Ralith> (any reaction, Veruth?)
[01:11] <@Veruth> (what did I say, I'm horrible :/)
[01:11] <@Lupin> (I'd suggest going from there.)
[01:11] <@Ralith> (It was just effectively proved that we weren't lying/insane/both, however unlikely it was at first)
[01:12] <@Veruth> (/me wonders how he overlooks things like this)
[01:14] <@Akela> (/me waits... sloooowly)
[01:14] <@Ralith> (so now that you're done overlooking it, are you going to do anything?)
[01:14] <@Akela> (174 MB download a 9KBS and it's almost done )
[01:15] <@Ralith> (what're you grabbing?)
[01:15] <@Veruth> (sorry, like I said...)
[01:15] <@Ralith> (Veruth, just think how you'd react in that situation!)
[01:16] <@Akela> (That wouldn't work for me, /me would be overjoyed )
[01:16] <@Veruth> (I've been trying this whole time, but nothing comes to me)
[01:16] <@Veruth> (that's why I was so mad at myself yesterday)
[01:16] <@Veruth> (and right now for that matter)
[01:16] <@Ralith> (:P)
[01:16] <@Lupin> (Well, you can ask about Ralith and myself)
[01:17] <@Lupin> (Or ask if he was bitten.)
[01:17] <@Lupin> (Stuff like that.)
[01:17] <@Ralith> (I'd expect some surprise, followed by feeling stupid about the surprise since we did tell you, then going on as Lupin suggests)
[01:17] <@Ralith> (but remember, it's your char)
[01:17] <@Veruth> (Sorry I'm making you do all this for me :/)
[01:18] <@Lupin> (Eh, I'm doing several things at the same time. It's no big deal.)
[01:18] <@Ralith> (ideally once you get the idea you can take off on your own more easily.)
[01:18] <@Ralith> (yeah)
[01:18] <@Ralith> (don't be so hard on yourself )
[01:18] <@Veruth> (I think I have good reason to right now)
[01:19] <@Ralith> (To put it bluntly, no, you don't )
[01:19] <@Akela> (This sort of reminds me of something else )
[01:19] <@Ralith> (hehe, that it does.)
[01:20] * Veruth recoils slightly
[01:20] <@Ralith> (*is glad that that's largely over*)
[01:20] <@Veruth> "Well I guess I can't doubt them anymore"
[01:20] * Aki watches Veruth curiously.
[01:20] <@Akela> (Speaking of which, my father finally gave the reason he didn't like my even slightly odd behaviour )
[01:21] <@Lupin> (Oh?)
[01:21] <@Ralith> (cool!)
[01:21] * Veruth mutters
[01:21] <@Veruth> "Now it's my own sanity I have to worry about"
[01:21] <@Ralith> (What was it?)
[01:21] <@Akela> (Because "It reflects poorly on me")
[01:21] <@Lupin> (:/)
[01:21] <@Ralith> (er, what's he mean by that?)
[01:21] <@Ralith> (makes you look bad?)
[01:21] <@Lupin> (He has some ego.)
[01:21] <@Akela> (He means it makes him look bad)
[01:21] <@Ralith> (rofl)
[01:22] <@Ralith> (your parents are worse than I thought )
[01:22] <@Akela> (:P)
[01:22] <@Ralith> (and I thought they were bad in no small way)
[01:22] <@Veruth> "How'd you get this way?. Were you born with it too?"
[01:23] <@Veruth> (yeah, that is a little much)
[01:24] <@Ralith> (well, at least they're giving in.)
[01:24] <@Ralith> (*prods Aki*)
[01:25] * Aki shakes his head, then mimes biting.
[01:25] <@Veruth> (he probably fell asleep waiting for me :/ )
[01:25] <@Ralith> (heh)
[01:25] <@Lupin> (Haha)
[01:25] <@Akela> (Get on with the game, we can always talk later )
[01:26] <@Lupin> (Or just use the other server.)
[01:26] <@Ralith> (get on there, Akela.)
[01:26] <@Veruth> "bitten, how did that happen?"
[01:26] <@Akela> (/me is about to play the Blitzkrieg 2.5 mod that he waited six hours to download now)
[01:26] <@Ralith> ( )
[01:27] <@Ralith> (come on Akela, have a little prioritization.)
[01:27] * Aki pauses a moment, unsure on how to answer, then motions the way Lupin and Ralith went.
[01:28] <@Veruth> "Them?"
[01:28] * Aki nods
[01:29] <@Veruth> "Why did they do that?"
[01:31] <@Ralith> (Aki, you're being slower than Veruth )
[01:31] <@Aki> (*stab*)
[01:31] <@Veruth> (/me dosen't think that's possible
[01:31] <@Lupin> (Well, I'd have a hard time answeing that too.)
[01:31] <@Veruth> (bah, sorry)
[01:31] * Aki thinks for a moment, then makes a angry-snarly face.
[01:31] <@Lupin> (+r)
[01:32] <@Ralith> (then RP having a hard time answering it )
[01:32] <@Ralith> (look indecisive, etc)
[01:32] <@Lupin> (Nah, it's okay. It'll keep Aki on his toes.)
[01:32] <@Ralith> (he'd have a hard time standing on anything else in that form ;) )
[01:33] <@Lupin> (He could stay on his side. Or sit.)
[01:33] <@Lupin> (:P)
[01:33] <@Ralith> (but that's not standing.)
[01:33] <@Lupin> (You said standing, not me.)
[01:33] <@Veruth> "They were mad at you?"
[01:34] * Aki nods
[01:34] <@Ralith> (yeah, being maced does tend to make one mad, especially with the senses of a werewolf)
[01:34] <@Akela> (/me hits a werewolf with a big, spiked mace)
[01:35] <@Veruth> (/me actually knows what you're talking about
[01:35] <@Ralith> (* werewolf dodges)
[01:35] <@Ralith> (glad to hear you've read the backstory)
[01:35] <@Veruth> "They were mad, so they made you a werewolf?"
[01:36] <@Veruth> "but wouldn't that make you more dangerous to them?"
[01:36] <@Ralith> (not to mention that we consider it more a gift than a curse.)
[01:36] <@Lupin> (Not too much of a gift though.)
[01:36] * Aki shrugs as best as his current form allows.
[01:36] <@Lupin> (Or I'd start donating blood.)
[01:36] <@Veruth> (Aki: I'm sorry If I'm nearly impossible to answer)
[01:36] <@Ralith> (hm?)
[01:37] <@Ralith> (heh)
[01:37] <@Ralith> (well, one of the things that makes it nice is that it's rare )
[01:37] <@Aki> (Nah, its okay)
[01:37] <@Lupin> (Heh)
[01:37] * Darkmoon has quit (Quit: Chatzilla 0.9.68.5.1 [Firefox 1.0.6/20050716])
[01:38] <@Veruth> "Well, you're with them now, so I guess they weren't too mad"
[01:39] * Aki nods
[01:40] <@Veruth> "What did you do to make them bite you?"
[01:41] <@Akela> ("Technical diffculties... you have just experienced a serious error" six hours for nothing >.<)
[01:41] <@Veruth> (Wow, sorry to hear that)
[01:42] <@Lupin> (That sucks bigtime.)
[01:42] * Aki looks indecisive, trying to figure out a way to reply, and makes the angry face again before sticking out his tongue at Veruth.
[01:42] <@Aki> (O.o)
[01:42] <@Ralith> (yeh, but at least you can hang out here now )
[01:42] <@Akela> (/me is restalling the game from scratch to install the mod again)
[01:42] <@Ralith> (Aki, here's a word to think on: sight, as in seeing too much.)
[01:43] <@Veruth> "too complicated for wolf charades?"
[01:43] <@Aki> (I can't gesture to my eyes that well. )
[01:43] * Aki nods.
[01:43] <@Ralith> (try eyelids.)
[01:44] <@Ralith> (and/or eyebrows)
[01:45] <@Aki> (:P)
[01:46] <@Ralith> (actually...)
[01:46] <@Ralith> (evil idea)
[01:46] <@Ralith> (how dark is the alley, Lupin?)
[01:46] <@Veruth> "I wish they'd get back, you'd be much easier to talk to as a human"
[01:47] <@Veruth> (/me is worried)
[01:47] <@Lupin> (As dark as you can get between two buildings at 3PM.)
[01:47] <@Ralith> (what time of year is this, anyway?)
[01:47] <@Ralith> (and we don't know how close the buildings are.)
[01:47] <@Lupin> (Winter.)
[01:48] <@Lupin> (Judging by all of the snow.)
[01:48] * Aki nods, laying down again
[01:48] <@Ralith> (anything obstructing the line of sight from the alley to the street?)
[01:48] <@Lupin> (A couple of dumpsters.)
[01:49] <@Ralith> (I think that's enough cover. Aki, why don't you make yourself a little more speech-capable? )
[01:49] <@Lupin> (One with a biohazard symbol.)
[01:49] <@Veruth> (heh, that is evil)
[01:49] <@Ralith> (should scare your character quite a lot )
[01:49] <@Ralith> (or at least surprise him)
[01:49] * Lupin (has several bags with that symbol on it.)
[01:50] <@Ralith> (hehe, neat)
[01:50] <@Ralith> (*pokes Aki*)
[01:50] <@Lupin> (I like putting food in them and eating it in public places.)
[01:50] <@Ralith> (hehehe)
[01:51] <@Lupin> (<--- Has a parent who works in a hospital.)
[01:51] <@Veruth> (/me Does too. I'm going to have to see about getting some of those)
[01:51] <@Ralith> (*beep Aki beep*)
[01:52] <@Akela> (I think he's conking out, this game has been going on for nearly six hours after all )
[01:52] <@Ralith> (he returns!)
[01:52] <@Aki> (:P))
[01:52] <@Ralith> (Aki, what say you get behind a dumpster and go gestalt?)
[01:52] <@Ralith> (smooth out that conversation a bit once Veruth gets over that he's talking to a monster ;) )
[01:52] <@Lupin> (Haha)
[01:53] <@Aki> (Nah, last time there was a werewwolf in a alleyway, we got shot at. )
[01:53] <@Ralith> (come on, baph's not here ^_^)
[01:54] <@Lupin> Aki and Veruth are alone.
[01:54] <@Ralith> A few more minutes off silence pass, both of you sitting in thought.
[01:54] <@Ralith> of*
[01:55] <@Ralith> (Aki, well?)
[01:55] <@Aki> (Nah. )
[01:55] <@Ralith> (Come on, it'll be fun!)
[01:56] <@Ralith> (The hunter last time knew who we were already.)
[01:56] <@Ralith> (Wouldn't you rather be prepared to fight effectively without risking a bite?)
[01:56] <@Lupin> (A627 only got shot because he was looking threatening to begin with.)
[01:57] <@Veruth> (I'm going to have to go before too long, it's almost 2 Am here)
[01:57] <@Ralith> (*beeps Aki due to a suspicion that Aki is distracted by something*)
[02:00] <@Akela> (/me starts of COD2 and attempts to complete the last few missions)
[02:01] <@Ralith> (Gah. I don't think Aki is going to shift )
[02:01] <@Lupin> (Aww.)
[02:01] <@Ralith> (my thoughts exactly)
[02:02] <@Ralith> (he's distracted and doesn't want to dedicate the energy to a conversation, I think )
[02:02] <@Akela> (He's down for the count )
[02:02] <@Veruth> as interesting as that would be, I need to get to sleep anyway
[02:02] <@Veruth> (damn, forgot parenthesis)
[02:02] * Ralith has changed the topic to: We have two rules: Treat everyone here with respect, and don't eat sentient beings no matter how tasty they may be with tobasco sauce.

[Lupin]

[00:28] * Baphnedia has changed the topic to: Silo 17 in progress. We have two rules: Treat everyone here with respect, and don't eat sentient beings no matter how tasty they may be with tobasco sauce.
[00:28] <@Lupin>
[00:29] <@Baphnedia> Lobby is #paradice2 for out of character stuff (because this chat room is a destination for many)
[00:29] <@Baphnedia> However, I won't be over there - so if you have a question for me /notice it to me.
[00:29] <@Lone_Wolf> (bah right on my way out )
[00:30] * Lone_Wolf sighs
[00:30] <@Baphnedia> (haha.... Lone_Wolf, did ya get your shirts yet?)
[00:30] <@Baphnedia> .
[00:30] <@Baphnedia> ..
[00:30] <@Lone_Wolf> you folks enjoy yourselves
[00:30] <@Baphnedia> ...
[00:30] * Vilkacis is now known as Aaron
[00:30] <@Baphnedia> (will do, and you too)
[00:30] <@Lone_Wolf> (not yet but we don't get deliveries weekends)
[00:30] <@Baphnedia> ,...
[00:30] <@Baphnedia> ,,...
[00:30] <@Lone_Wolf> (ZZZzzZZZZzz)
[00:30] <@Baphnedia> ,.,..
[00:30] <@Baphnedia> .,.,.
[00:31] <@Baphnedia> (then the pile of commas and periods had a baby)
[00:31] <@Baphnedia> ;
[00:31] <@Aaron> (only one?)
[00:31] <@Baphnedia> (yeah. an accident.)
[00:32] * Baphnedia has gone too far with the periods and the commas, period.
[00:32] <@Ralith> (hehe)
[00:32] <@Ralith> (commas, period. I like that.)
[00:32] <@Baphnedia> (lol)
[00:32] <@Baphnedia> (go to www.slash-dot.com)
[00:33] <@Baphnedia> (ack dash-dot.com
[00:33] <@Baphnedia> The late afternoon air is quite crisp, with it being winter and all.
[00:33] <@Baphnedia> You make it out the front of the hospital, in more or less good shape.
[00:33] <+Figarou> ;) http://www.figarou.com/avatars/dragon_wink.gif
[00:34] <+Figarou> (I'm gone)
[00:34] <@Aaron> (later)
[00:35] * Figarou is tired
[00:35] <@Baphnedia> (later fig!)
[00:35] * Figarou has quit ()
[00:35] <@Baphnedia> Or at least, one of two likely shapes
[00:35] * Baphnedia pokes the channel (who is playing tonight?)
[00:35] <@Lupin> (I am.)
[00:35] <@Ralith> (me, Lupin, Aaron, and Veruth)
[00:35] <@Ralith> (Aki?)
[00:35] <+Veruth> (I am)
[00:35] <@Aaron> (I'm here, but I'm a bad boy. I haven't read the logs for the past couple games.)
[00:36] <@Ralith> (they're kinda important :/)
[00:36] <@Ralith> (anyone want to summarise?)
[00:36] <@Baphnedia> There was a large decision on what the group wanted to do next.
[00:36] <@Baphnedia> Chinese or Pizza.
[00:36] <@Lupin> (Hamburgers!)
[00:36] <@Aaron> (Pizza. Always.)
[00:37] <@Ralith> (I'm meh about human food. Whatever.)
[00:37] <@Aaron> (Pizza > Hamburgers > Chinese)
[00:37] <@Baphnedia> Passers-by look, almost staring at the group
[00:37] <@Ralith> (wait, baph, have YOU read the logs?)
[00:37] <@Ralith> ("the group" is split up)
[00:37] <@Baphnedia> Yes. Wait.
[00:37] <@Baphnedia> (huh?)
[00:37] <@Baphnedia> (Summarize please)
[00:38] <@Lupin> (Aki and Veruth are in an alley, and Ralith and myself went to go get clothes)
[00:38] <@Ralith> (Veruth and Aki are in the ally, me and Lupin are heading out to find clothes (I'm wearing Veruth's old clothes, and he mine) and the others are wherever they want)
[00:38] <@Baphnedia> (oh)
[00:38] <@Ralith> (*beek Aki beep*)
[00:38] <@Baphnedia> >.<
[00:38] <+Veruth> (can't type as fast as Lupin or Ralith)
[00:38] <@Ralith> (hehe)
[00:38] <@Ralith> (give it time)
[00:38] <@Ralith> (took me a linux terminal to finally speed up)
[00:39] <@Baphnedia> So, you left the hospital, went to a kinda downtown area and found an alley to wait for the rest to get clothes?
[00:39] <@Ralith> (when your entire interface is keyboard based, you start to type /fast/)
[00:39] <+Veruth> (plus I'm trying not to let the noisy keyboard get me kicked off)
[00:39] <@Ralith> (Just about. We didn't go too far.)
[00:39] <@Ralith> (heh)
[00:39] <@Baphnedia> (sounds good to me)
[00:39] <@Baphnedia> (alleys...alleys)
[00:40] <@Lupin> (Yeah.)
[00:40] <@Ralith> (hehe, me and the rest of my familiy are all sitting on our couch, each of us with our own laptop)
[00:40] <@Lupin> (I just kinda picked a place to have an alley.)
[00:40] <@Ralith> (we wanted to do as much as possible; we're game-starved )
[00:41] <@Akela> (Obviosly :PPP)
[00:41] <@Baphnedia> The alley your group finds is infested with cats, who hiss but back off.
[00:41] <@Ralith> (especially with Aki )
[00:41] <@Lupin> (heh)
[00:41] <@Ralith> (*growl* where's Aki?!)
[00:41] <@Baphnedia> Ralith and Lupin find a few stores in this downtown area.
[00:41] <@Aaron> (=^..^= Meow! ^_^)
[00:42] <@Baphnedia> sec door
[00:42] <@Ralith> (we need him.)
[00:42] * Lupin (pokes Aki)
[00:42] <@Ralith> (*notices Aki*)
[00:42] <@Aki> (*stabs Ralith*)
[00:42] <@Ralith> (:D)
[00:42] <+Veruth> (so my "conversation" with Aki never happened?)
[00:42] <@Ralith> (notice ftw)
[00:42] <@Ralith> (Veruth, it happened)
[00:42] <@Lupin> (Yeah.)
[00:42] <@Ralith> (Aki, you going to join us?)
[00:43] <@Ralith> (gaming, I mean)
[00:43] <@Baphnedia> (MEAT!!)
[00:43] <@Lupin> (We're just straighthing things out.)
[00:43] <+Veruth> (ok)
[00:43] <@Ralith> (Aki, are you going to be playing?)
[00:44] <@Akela> (He's slow, give him time )
[00:44] <@Aki> (Yeah )
[00:44] <@Ralith> (:D)
[00:44] <@Lupin> (Yay!)
[00:44] <+Veruth> (woo!)
[00:44] * Ralith looks around, searching for something that looks clothes-store-ish-y.
[00:44] <@Baphnedia> You find a mom and pop consignment store, a G store, and a K Mart
[00:44] <@Ralith> (consignment?)
[00:44] <@Ralith> (G?)
[00:44] <@Ralith> (*looks naive*)
[00:44] <@Lupin> (What are the other two?)
[00:45] <@Baphnedia> (G is for Gangsta, consignemt is like a thrift store)(
[00:45] <@Aki> (lol)
[00:45] * Ralith gives Lupin a bit of a helpless look.
[00:46] <@Baphnedia> The gangsta joint has a lot of hooded coats and otherstuff to look fashionably dangerous
[00:46] * Lupin looks at Ralith, "Let's just try the K-mart"
[00:46] <@Ralith> "Alright."
[00:46] <@Ralith> "Good as any, from my perspective."
[00:46] <@Baphnedia> The K-mart is a couple blocks down the street.
[00:46] <@Ralith> "Or bad, for that matter."
[00:47] * Ralith starts walking.
[00:47] <@Lupin> "Yeah."
[00:47] * Lupin heads to the K-mart.
[00:47] <@Baphnedia> The parking lot is half full, oddly enough
[00:47] <@Baphnedia> There are families and normal denizens going about their own mindless business
[00:48] * Ralith looks a little nervous, but does his best to hide it.
[00:48] * Lupin acts as if there isn't anything wrong.
[00:48] <@Ralith> (Is there? I just don't like large concentrations of people )
[00:49] * Akela is now known as Akela|ROTR
[00:49] <@Baphnedia> As you walk in the automatic doors, you notice a TV above and infront of you as you come in, as well as the condition of the clothes that you're in.
[00:49] <@Lupin> (Well, there's a whole bunch of 'wrong' stuff, but nothing immidate.)
[00:49] <@Baphnedia> (what's happening in the alley?)
[00:49] <@Ralith> (Veruth and Aki's logged conversation)
[00:49] <@Ralith> (though we can pretend that's done and let them start playing )
[00:49] <@Baphnedia> (ahh, Aki finally speaks)
[00:50] <@Lupin> (Nope)
[00:50] <@Baphnedia> (exactly)
[00:50] <@Lupin> (charades)
[00:50] <@Aki> (hehe)
[00:50] <@Baphnedia> (lol Aki is good at pretending to be man's best friend)
[00:50] <@Baphnedia> (I am mog. Part man, part dog. I am my own best friend!)
[00:51] <@Aki> (haha. spaceballs ftw!)
[00:51] <@Ralith> (whee)
[00:51] <@Lupin> (hehe)
[00:52] <@Baphnedia> A rent-a-cop approaches from the side as you walk into K-mart. He's an aging man with a bald head "Hey guys," and waves you over.
[00:52] * Ralith looks over quickly, then looks back at Lupin.
[00:52] * Lupin walks a bit toward the security guard "Something wrong?"
[00:53] * Ralith follows.
[00:53] * Ralith does his best to look bored.
[00:53] <@Baphnedia> "Yeah man," he leads you to some side offices "You've got blood on your clothes. I can't have you shopping yourself if some of that gets on the merchandise"
[00:54] <@Lupin> "Yeah, I know, that's why we came here, we need a change of clothes."
[00:54] <@Baphnedia> "But, I know a guy in a shafted situation when I see one. You just need a change of clothes then? Hmm."
[00:54] <@Ralith> "Yeah."
[00:55] <@Ralith> "And some spares. Don't want to wear the same set of clothes for the next few weeks."
[00:55] <@Baphnedia> The small office he leads you two into is the employee break area. There's vending machines, a coffee maker and a microwave.
[00:55] <@Baphnedia> "I don't wanna know man."
[00:56] <@Baphnedia> "All I need is that you're word that the law ain't lookin for ya."
[00:56] <@Lupin> "It's not that bad. We're paramedics."
[00:56] <@Baphnedia> "True. Messy job."
[00:57] <@Lupin> "Yeah."
[00:57] <@Baphnedia> "Accidents happen often?"
[00:57] <@Ralith> "Often enough. The more significant factor is the suddenness."
[00:57] <@Baphnedia> (meanwhile in the alley game of scrabble)
[00:57] <@Lupin> "If they didn't, we'd be out of a job."
[00:58] <@Baphnedia> "Cool, I understand." He nods as if he just came to a conclusion.
[00:58] <@Baphnedia> "You guys have money for a couple dusters? I could come back with those, which should prevent anyone from seeing the blood."
[00:58] <+Veruth> (triple word score!)
[00:59] <@Ralith> "Some proper clothing would be nice."
[00:59] <@Baphnedia> (that only counts if you can spell it with letters on pop and beer cansthere in the alley)

[Lupin]

[01:00] <@Baphnedia> "Well, I can't shop on the job, so the dusters are the only way that I can go."
[01:00] <@Baphnedia> "I can grab the canvas ones, they're a lot cheaper than leather.
[01:00] <@Ralith> (what exactly is a duster? )
[01:00] <@Baphnedia> (trenchcoat kinda thing)
[01:00] <@Lupin> (Ah.)
[01:01] <@Ralith> (is it apparent if nothing's underneath it?)
[01:01] <@Baphnedia> (not immediately, except for socks and shoes)
[01:01] <@Lupin> "How much?"
[01:01] <@Baphnedia> (one sec)
[01:01] <@Baphnedia> (we have a wannabe flasher in our midst)
[01:02] <@Ralith> (hehe)
[01:02] <@Baphnedia> (I have to get my mind out of the gutter)
[01:02] <@Ralith> (:P)
[01:02] <@Lupin> (Haha)
[01:02] <@Ralith> (we're short on normal clothing, is all.)
[01:02] <@Baphnedia> "I'll check, but they're like $80 a peice."
[01:02] <@Ralith> (eek!)
[01:02] <+Veruth> (don't worry, I was thinking the same thing )
[01:03] <@Baphnedia> (which is for the cheap ones)
[01:03] <+Veruth> (how much did you have again?)
[01:03] <@Ralith> ($340?)
[01:03] <@Lupin> (Yeah)
[01:03] <@Baphnedia> (I owned one for several years, and it was a quaint canvase one $200 by itself)
[01:03] <@Ralith> ( Aaron , whatchya up to?)

[01:03] <@Aaron> (Writing a message at the Pack)
[01:04] <@Baphnedia> (It might be that the alley guys need to do something for money)
[01:04] <@Ralith> (in the aether, then )
[01:04] <@Ralith> (we only need two or three.)
[01:04] <@Baphnedia> (what's ROTR? Return of the Recyclotron?)
[01:04] <+Veruth> (wouldn't I have some on me?)
[01:04] <@Ralith> (Aaron grabbed that, I think)
[01:04] <@Baphnedia> (yep Aaron has that money)
[01:05] <@Lupin> (Which money?))
[01:05] <@Aaron> (I have very little money. Victor has the big wad.)
[01:05] <@Baphnedia> (Veruth's money from his wallet)
[01:05] <@Ralith> (hey Veruth, didn't you get a normal name?)
[01:05] <@Baphnedia> (ack.. . Cainsie was Victor right?)
[01:05] <@Lupin> (Akela)
[01:05] <@Ralith> (no, that was Akela)
[01:05] <@Baphnedia> (ahh that's right)
[01:06] <+Veruth> (no, I never did)
[01:06] <@Baphnedia> "So, you want me to get them dusters for ya?"
[01:06] <@Aaron> (I took Akela's wallet. He sold the camera and got more money. I never took any of Veruth's money.)
[01:06] <@Lupin> "Couldn't you just grab a regular employee to get us some clothes?"
[01:06] <@Ralith> (oh, right, Veruth should still have his money.)
[01:06] <@Lupin> (I took the camera money at least once to pay for gas.)
[01:06] <@Baphnedia> "That's what I'm gonna do. But, it'll get complicated if the employee sees you like this."
[01:07] <@Baphnedia> !d.99
[01:07] <+Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d.99 for a total of 0.
[01:07] <+Veruth> (I guess I can be coming up with a name as long as I'm in the alley)
[01:07] <@Ralith> (we agreed that he has his wallet)

[01:08] <+Veruth> (I like Vidones)
[01:08] <@Baphnedia> "So, y'all are up for this?"
[01:08] <+Veruth> (Something about the Vs I guess)
[01:08] * Lupin looks at Ralith
[01:08] * Ralith looks at Lupin
[01:09] * Baphnedia looks at Lycaon
[01:09] * Lycaon looks at Baphnedia
[01:09] <@Aki> (haha)
[01:09] <@Ralith> (heh)
[01:09] <@Aaron> (ha)
[01:09] <@Lupin> "Well, I don't see any other way."
[01:09] <@Ralith> ('this' being real clothes or dusters?)
[01:09] <@Akela|ROTR> (Hey someone had me mistaken again ><)
[01:09] <@Baphnedia> "Alright. Wait here and I'll get ya some coats."
[01:09] <@Ralith> (nope, Akela)
[01:09] <@Ralith> (we said your name on purpose )
[01:10] <@Baphnedia> The security guy leaves for a few minutes.
[01:10] <@Aaron> (Akela's right)
[01:11] <@Baphnedia> There is muzak playing in the office.
[01:11] * Ralith 's ears try to flatten.
[01:11] <@Akela|ROTR> (Someone had me mistaken for Cainsie? That's practically insulting )
[01:11] <@Ralith> (hehehe)
[01:11] <@Akela|ROTR> (First Aki, now him jeez)
[01:12] <@Baphnedia> (lol)
[01:12] <@Ralith> (on with the show!)
[01:12] <@Lupin> (haha)
[01:12] <@Aaron> (Beware the day we mistake you for greatimp <_< >_>)
[01:12] <@Ralith> (hehe)
[01:13] <@Baphnedia> (hehe)
[01:13] <@Baphnedia> (I'm tired and that's when I mix people up)
[01:13] <@Ralith> (already? :/)
[01:14] <@Ralith> (on with the show!)
[01:14] * Ralith looks like he rather wants to be somewhere else.
[01:15] <@Baphnedia> The coffee machine beeps
[01:15] <@Ralith> !beep
[01:15] <+Lycaon> BEEEEEEP!
[01:15] * Lupin takes some money out of his pocket, and starts counting it.
[01:15] <@Aaron> ('tis a droid!)
[01:15] <@Lupin> !beep
[01:15] <+Lycaon> BEEEEEEP!
[01:15] <@Aaron> ("This is not the droid you're looking for. *waves hand*)
[01:15] <+Veruth> !beep
[01:16] <+Lycaon> BEEEEEEP!
[01:16] <+Veruth> (I like the beeping noise )
[01:16] * Akela|ROTR has quit (Quit: Leaving)
[01:16] <@Baphnedia> (lol)
[01:18] * Ralith looks impatient.
[01:18] <@Baphnedia> A few minutes pass by.
[01:19] <@Baphnedia> The security guard returns, empty handed.
[01:20] <@Baphnedia> He takes a sit at the table in the break room.
[01:20] * Ralith watches him.
[01:21] <@Baphnedia> "I've gotta make sure of a few things."
[01:21] * Baphnedia is now known as Guard
[01:21] <@Lupin> "Hm?"
[01:22] <@Guard> "I can't help but notice that you're from the Monticello Fire Department. There is no Monticello Maryland."
[01:22] <@Ralith> (where'd he get that bit of information?)
[01:22] <+Veruth> (huh, how's he know that? I switched clothes with Ralith )
[01:22] <@Ralith> (we're wearing normal, if bloodied clothing)
[01:23] <@Guard> (...?)
[01:23] <@Ralith> (I explained that in the summary, baph >.<)
[01:23] <@Lupin> (In the alley.)
[01:23] <@Guard> (the hunter clothing ack)
[01:24] <@Guard> (correct?)
[01:24] <@Lupin> (I'm not sure what Veruth was wearing when we met him.)
[01:25] <+Veruth> (well, I was on my way home so street clothes)
[01:25] <@Guard> (oh crap. those street clothes. eww)
[01:26] <@Ralith> (so they're a bit bloody )
[01:26] <+Veruth> (yeah)
[01:26] <@Guard> (ok you are creeping. You are switching clohes that are bloody as hell)
[01:26] <+Veruth> (Wouldn't the shirt have been cut to get at my wound too?)
[01:27] <@Guard> (yeah)
[01:27] <@Guard> (what's the other one of ya wearing?)
[01:27] <@Guard> The guard asks, "So, where'd ya get all that blood from?"
[01:28] <@Lupin> (The clothes I've been wearing since we stole the car.)
[01:28] <@Guard> Roll awareness
[01:28] <@Lupin> !d20+11 awareness
[01:28] <+Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 + 11 for a total of 22 awareness
[01:28] <@Ralith> !d20+10.5 awereness
[01:28] <+Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 10.5 for a total of 27.5 awereness
[01:28] <@Ralith> (woo, the pun rolled decently for once)
[01:29] <@Guard> You notice that the guard has a hand over his radio.
[01:29] <@Guard> (lol)
[01:29] <@Lupin> (awereness? There's two of us.)
[01:29] <@Guard> "Ok guys, I'll give it to ya straight."
[01:30] <@Ralith> (hehe)
[01:31] <@Guard> "Either you let me know what's going on, or there's gonna be trouble."
[01:32] <@Lupin> "There was an accident, a guy got shot, there was some other stuff, he had to be airlefted from Chicago to here, and we came along with him."
[01:32] * Ralith is again doing his best not to look nervous, and remains silent.
[01:32] <@Ralith> (airlefted. hehe.)
[01:33] <@Lupin> (airlifted*)
[01:33] <@Guard> "So, that's why the blood is hardened... and you never changed out of your clothes?"
[01:33] <@Lupin> "The doctor had a heart attack in the hospital, he appears to be dead, and all we really want to do is get a change of clothes and find a way home."
[01:34] <@Guard> "In Chicago?! What about your hole in your shirt? Explain that."
[01:35] * Ralith waits for Lupin to say something.
[01:36] <@Lupin> "Pipe bomb. That's why we're all bandaged."
[01:37] <@Guard> "Uh huh." He doesn't believe you.
[01:37] <@Guard> "Go on. So, the fact that you're not wearing a dead man's shirt (you can see your stomach through the hole) has to do with a pipe bomb and not an exit wound?"
[01:38] <@Lupin> (Was there an exit wound?)
[01:39] <+Veruth> (heh, the exit wound hole is in the back)
[01:39] <@Guard> (alley guys roll awareness)
[01:39] <+Veruth> (yeah, they found the bullet in the wall)
[01:39] -Guard- you hear footsteps in the hallway outside the break room.
[01:39] <+Veruth> !d20+1 awareness
[01:39] <+Lycaon> Veruth rolled d20 + 1 for a total of 20 awareness
[01:40] * Ralith glances at the entrance to the room aprehensively
[01:40] <@Guard> "You gonna give me an answer?"
[01:41] <@Ralith> "Er, yes?"
[01:41] <@Lupin> "Well, why else would we be all torn up like this?"
[01:42] <@Guard> "Where was this pipe bomb, and was there another?"
[01:42] <@Guard> "Who made it?"
[01:43] <@Ralith> "It's not our job to know that."
[01:43] <@Lupin> "Chicago, I don't know, what do I look like, the Department of Homeland Security?"
[01:44] <@Guard> "Well, what is your job then? I'm really interested in knowing your occupation now that it requires the use of pipe bombs."
[01:44] <@Ralith> "Wait, what?"
[01:44] <@Lupin> "We weren't even in Chicago on business, we were there for the game."
[01:45] <@Ralith> "Requires the use of pipe bombs?"
[01:45] <@Lupin> (Actually wait, I took the paramedic's jacket from the ambulance.)
[01:45] <@Ralith> (I thought you were already wearing normal clothes)
[01:45] <@Guard> "Uh huh."
[01:46] <@Guard> "What's your job?"
[01:46] <@Lupin> (I was wearing normal clothes, and took the jacket from the second ambulance.)
[01:47] <@Lupin> (Let me find it...)
[01:47] * Guard taps his fingers
[01:48] <@Ralith> "We're paramedics, like we said."
[01:48] <+Veruth> (bah, I can't remember what the hyphenated messages mean)
[01:48] <+Veruth> (like -Guard-)
[01:48] <@Ralith> "We were off-duty when the bomb went off, but we had to help."
[01:49] <@Guard> "Uh huh. Paramedics don't require bomb-squad tactics."
[01:49] <@Ralith> "What, you think we had something to do with the bomb?"
[01:49] <@Guard> (Veruth, that means it's a private message)
[01:49] <@Ralith> "Someone set it off for who knows what reason, and we were just in the area."
[01:50] <@Lupin> ([18:41:52] * Lupin grabs the extra EMT outfit, and puts it on.
[01:50] <@Lupin> )
[01:50] <+Veruth> (oh, then yes. I'm wearing Ralith's EMT clothes)
[01:50] <@Aaron> (Well, I'm off to bed. Good night.)
[01:50] * Aaron is now known as Vilkacis-sleep
[01:50] <@Guard> "Ok. Who was it?"
[01:50] <@Ralith> "Good thing, too; there'd be some people a lot worse off had someone qualified like us not been there."
[01:50] <@Lupin> (Good night.)
[01:50] <@Ralith> "As I told you, we have no way of knowing!"
[01:50] <@Ralith> "The bomb might even have been on a slow fuse."
[01:50] <@Ralith> "That's a job for the police, not us."
[01:51] <@Guard> "Hmm. And you left Chicago for Washington DC?"
[01:51] <@Ralith> (Your turn, Lupin )
[01:51] <@Lupin> "Yeah jeez, I just wanted to see the Bears/Packers game."
[01:51] <@Lupin> "Yeah, somehow the doctor of they guy who got shot guilted us into going with him."
[01:51] <@Guard> "Yeah, that game is one I'm gonna miss today."
[01:52] <@Guard> "So, is this the doctor that died?"
[01:53] <@Guard> "Oh, I apologize, you can call me Jim."
[01:53] <@Lupin> "Yeah, Acute Coronary Thrombosis."
[01:53] <@Guard> !d20 intel
[01:53] <+Lycaon> Guard rolled d20 for a total of 4 intel
[01:53] <@Guard> "What the hell is that?"
[01:53] <@Ralith> (owned )
[01:54] <@Lupin> "Heart attack."
[01:54] <@Guard> "Ok. I need to figure something out to tell my manager so I can get you these trenchcoats.
[01:55] <+Veruth> (what happened to the police?)
[01:56] <@Guard> (/notice Veruth... )
[01:56] <@Guard> (/notice)
[01:57] <@Ralith> (of course, nothing can ever go smoothly for some of us )
[01:58] <@Ralith> (are you waiting for us to suggest something to the guard?)
[01:58] <@Lupin> "Leads to a myocardial infarction, tachycardia/fibrillation, unconsiousness and possibly death."
[01:59] <@Guard> "Thanks for the education."

[Lupin]

[02:00] <Guard> [01:49] <Guard> (Veruth, that means it's a private message)
[02:00] <Lupin> "Sure, anything else you need to know?"
[02:01] <Guard> "I need your names. I'm just gonna be blunt."
[02:01] <Lupin> "Nicholas"
[02:02] <Guard> "Ok, and you?" he looks at Ralith.
[02:03] <Ralith> "Elliot Johnson."
[02:03] <Guard> "Alrighty then. I'll go and see what I can do to get you some trench coats."
[02:04] <Guard> The guard gets up and walks out of the break room.
[02:04] * Ralith looks a bit relieved, then looks back at the entrance.
[02:04] * Ralith speaks quietly. "I could've sworn I heard someone coming..."
[02:04] <Guard> You hear more than two sets of footsteps in the hallway.
[02:04] <Guard> Lupin and Ralith, roll awareness.
[02:04] * Lupin looks at the enterace. "Yeah."
[02:05] <Ralith> !d20+10.5 twoweresness
[02:05] <Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 10.5 for a total of 22.5 twoweresness
[02:05] <Lupin> !d20+11 awareness.
[02:05] <Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 + 11 for a total of 23 awareness.
[02:06] <Guard> A Washington police officer enters the room and asks sarcastically, "How's it goin?" with his hand on his gun. Behind him, you see a familiar lady with a mauled face.
[02:06] <Guard> If she wasn't so scarred she might look really good.
[02:07] <Ralith> (er... who?)
[02:07] <Ralith> (We mauled a someone?)
[02:07] <Ralith> (or took note of a female other than DM at all, for that matter? )
[02:08] <Guard> "Hello gentlemen. I'm a bounty hunter contracted with the Chicago PD under specifc orders to bring you to talk with a special internal affairs unit in Chicago. Don't let these dorks from DC boss ya around."
[02:08] <Lupin> (The lady with the shot gun?)
[02:08] <Aki> (The crazy b****!)
[02:09] <Ralith> (ohfuck)
[02:09] <Ralith> (when did her face get mauled?)
[02:09] <Guard> "Where are your buddies?"
[02:09] <Ralith> (I don't recall you mentioning that.)
[02:09] <Ralith> "What? What are you talking about?"
[02:09] <Guard> (too detailed to mention last time)
[02:09] <Ralith> "Do you have an arrest warrant?"
[02:09] <Ralith> "What are we charged with?"
[02:09] <Lupin> "Who are you?"
[02:10] <Guard> It looks like a part of her face was torn away, but it looks like there was reconstructive surgery to make her face look passable. There is a white scar in the center in left eye's iris.
[02:10] <Guard> "Yes. Right here, and another in the fax machine on even more charges."
[02:11] <Ralith> "Well, let's see it!"
[02:11] <Lupin> "Oh please, anone can forge a fax."
[02:11] <Lupin> (anyone*)
[02:11] <Ralith> (a noone can, too.)
[02:12] <Guard> "Attempted inciting of a public panic, felony assault on several police officers resulting in the death of an ooficer outside of Chicago, as well as suspected terrorist action."
[02:12] <Ralith> "I'm waiting for this warrant of yours."
[02:13] <Guard> "My contract is a legal warrant."
[02:13] <Guard> "Here." She hands it to you.
[02:13] * Lupin reads
[02:13] * Ralith takes it and examines it.
[02:14] <Guard> The contract has all the names of those involved in Chicago for pickup.
[02:14] <Guard> (I'm not writing a bounty contract on the fly here)
[02:14] <Ralith> (pickup?)
[02:14] <Guard> (arest)
[02:14] <Ralith> (and I just want to know how it looks in general, not the content )
[02:14] <Guard> (capture)
[02:14] <Guard> It says
[02:15] <Guard> (ack enter key)
[02:15] <Guard> It has a Chicago Special Terrorist unit header on the contract.
[02:17] <Ralith> (I mean, does it look like something you could put together in a layout program and print?)
[02:17] <Guard> (no)
[02:17] <Lupin> (The statements were never actually filled out.)
[02:17] <Guard> (it has the shadows of a raised seal going through a fax machine)
[02:17] <Lupin> (22:52:41 <Baphnedia> You find yoruself staring at a blank Sworn Statement sheet.
[02:17] <Lupin> 22:53:00 <Baphnedia> The cop left the room and closed the door behind him with an audible click.
[02:17] <Lupin> 22:53:15 <Baphnedia> There is a clock ticking on the wall.
[02:17] <Lupin> 22:54:15 <Baphnedia> After a few moments, the cop returns, and looks around the room. Sighing, "We'll have to do paperwork later. The patient has to identify which of you shot him. So, we're going to take all of you to the hospital first. )
[02:18] <Guard> (yes, but you did give him your names in chicago)
[02:18] <Lupin> (And then he died, remember?)
[02:18] <Ralith> (yeah)
[02:18] <Ralith> (and baph, that's easy to fake )
[02:19] <Guard> (that's fine that it's easy to fake. Chicago got your names and they need to talk with you.)
[02:20] <Lupin> (23:48:22 <Marty> "Oh, and Officer Meldon, I'll give your regards to your wife and daughter." You hear the sound of bones breaking and a fwump as Joe crumples to the floor. )
[02:20] <Ralith> (so how'd they discovere where we went?)
[02:20] <Ralith> (there's no record of it )
[02:21] <Guard> (I know I killled him. There is a record of a helicopter transferring a patient to WA DC which would stick out like a sore thumb)
[02:21] <Guard> (your names were given when you signed into the hospital)
[02:21] <Ralith> (ah.)
[02:21] <Guard> (Everything Marty did for you ain't working like he intended it to)
[02:22] <Ralith> "What the hell? We're witness to a shooting, dragged along here by a doctor with a bad heart, and then a bounty hunter's sent after us?"
[02:23] <Guard> "That's pretty much the gist of it. Now stand up against the wall, put your hands up, and if you go along quietly, I promise I won't hurt you."
[02:23] <Ralith> "And now we're being threatened."
[02:23] * Guard is now known as Iliana
[02:24] <Iliana> "I don't see you cooperating."
[02:24] <Iliana> The cop is still in the room.
[02:24] * Ralith turns to the officer. "Surely you can see how outrageous this is."
[02:25] <Iliana> "Yeah. It isn't at all. We called the Chicaog PD just to make sure. We have to cooperate with this woman too."
[02:25] <Lupin> "And who dialed that number?"
[02:26] <Iliana> "As well as the fact that you're talking about a pipebomb, we want you the hell off of our streets." (the cop)
[02:26] <Ralith> (how'd he know about the pipebomb?)
[02:26] <Ralith> (for that matter, how'd he find us?)
[02:26] <Iliana> The cop taps his radio.
[02:26] <Lupin> (The guard.)
[02:26] <Ralith> (ah)
[02:27] <Iliana> "Ok. This is my third and final warning, Either you cooperate, or somebody is gonna get hurt."
[02:27] <Ralith> (I have no idea what to tell someone who knows what actually happened and has heard our cover story :/ )
[02:27] <Iliana> (that was the woman)
[02:28] <Iliana> (dude, you got caught in a helluva lie)
[02:28] <Ralith> "This can't be legal. She's allowed to use force like this without any reasoning?"
[02:28] <Lupin> (A lie with the physical evidence that supports it.)
[02:28] <Iliana> (cop) "She's a bounty hunter. She can legally kill you and there's nothing we can do about it. That contract says dead or alive."
[02:28] <Ralith> (I still have a nasty injury, even if I am coping reasonably.)
[02:29] <Ralith> "That's seriously f*** up."
[02:29] <Lupin> "Agreed."
[02:29] <Ralith> "Who authorized a contract like that?"
[02:29] <Lupin> (We both do.)
[02:29] <Iliana> (cop) "Agreed."
[02:29] <Ralith> "If you don't believe that we were victims of a bombing, then where do you think this came from?"
[02:29] * Ralith displays the bandaged wound.
[02:29] <Iliana> (read it! Chicago Special Terrorism Unit is the approving authority)
[02:30] <Ralith> (Hey, can't I stall without getting ooc nagging? )
[02:30] <Lupin> (Hahaha)
[02:31] <Aki> (No. You can't. )
[02:31] <Ralith> (what's funny is we can probably rely on marty getting us out of this, and thus the only real reason for resisting is because we're hungry)
[02:31] <Iliana> (cop) The cop interjects "Ok. Lemme give it to ya straight. If this woman kills you right now, she won't get in any trouble. If paying for the removal of bullets from the walls of this store comes out of the bounty, I think she'll make your afterlife worse. As far as the wounds go, that's your problem. I cannot litigate."
[02:32] <Ralith> "Don't they need a court order or something for stuff like this?"
[02:32] <Iliana> "I'm just here to make sure the Chicago PD gets what they want."
[02:33] <Iliana> "No. All it takes is suspicion with the Patriot Act."
[02:33] <Iliana> "And it's good for another six months. We'll figure something out in that time frame."
[02:33] <Iliana> "That's enough talk guys." She takes the gun out and levels it on Lupin. "Either you get up with hands up on the far wall now, or I'll shoot you where you sit."
[02:34] * Lupin stands up slowly. "Not that shooting me would do you any good."
[02:34] <Iliana> (don't you remember that Marty is busy atm....)
[02:34] * Owner_ (~Veruth@*.ipt.aol.com) has joined #paradice
[02:35] <Ralith> (busy? :/)
[02:35] <Ralith> (with what?)
[02:35] * Ralith gives channel operator status to Owner_
[02:35] <Lupin> (Being 'dead')
[02:35] <Ralith> (That hasn't stopped him in the past.)
[02:35] * Veruth has quit (Nickname ghosted by Owner_)
[02:35] <Ralith> (That wasn't even technically his body, remember?)
[02:36] <Owner_> (Dial-up:/)
[02:36] <Ralith> (meh.)
[02:36] <Lupin> (Yeah, but it might delay him coming for us for a bit.)
[02:36] <Ralith> (a bit, but it's pretty much inevitable )
[02:37] * Owner_ is now known as Veruth
[02:37] * Iliana pulls the hammer back on the semi auto pistol. "Last. This is absolutely my last warning. I've given you more than a fair chance to come willingly."
[02:37] <Iliana> "If you say anythhing other than 'Yes Ma'am, I'm going to blow your head off."
[02:37] * Ralith slowly stands and backs to the wall, hands raised.
[02:37] * Lupin backs agains the wall as well.
[02:38] * Veruth is now known as Guest45
[02:38] <Ralith> (hehe)
[02:38] <Iliana> She cuffs the both of you, the cop levels his gun, in case he eneds it.
[02:38] * Guest45 has quit (Connection reset by peer)
[02:39] <Iliana> *needs
[02:39] * Ralith gives the cop a hurt look.
[02:39] <Ralith> ( >:) )
[02:39] <Iliana> Ralith, Lupin your characters just became unplayable from this point onward. The rest of the group - do you fully understand just how actively you were benig hunted?
[02:39] * Iliana is now known as Baphnedia
[02:40] <Ralith> (wait a fscking moment, we have absolutely no chance of escape?)
[02:40] <Baphnedia> Ralith, Lupin, you'll have the chance to make new characters, but before we do, we're going to take a look at how this happened.
[02:40] <Lupin> (What?)
[02:41] <Baphnedia> (you want to play that out? Ok...)
[02:41] <Lupin> (We've been in several situations a lot worse than this.)
[02:41] <Ralith> (agreed)
[02:41] <Ralith> (we're going to force you to manage two groups for as long as we must )
[02:41] <Baphnedia> You are escorted by cops and Iliana alike.
[02:41] <Ralith> (when did the cop become plural?)
[02:42] <Baphnedia> There are four cop cruisers sitting outside the Kmart.
[02:42] <Ralith> (eek.)
[02:42] <Baphnedia> The cops in DC don't play when they suspect a terrorist post 9/11
[02:42] <Baphnedia> You're lucky SWAT didn't stop by.
[02:42] <Ralith> (damn me for saying "present day" when you asked what time period we'd like the game to be in)
[02:42] <Lupin> (Hehe)
[02:42] <Baphnedia> (hehe)
[02:43] <Baphnedia> (another unhealthy dose of reality?)
[02:43] <Ralith> (yup.)
[02:43] * Veruth (Veruth@*.ipt.aol.com) has joined #paradice
[02:43] * Veruth gives voice to Veruth
[02:43] <Ralith> (then again, I wouldn't enjoy this game if s*** didn't hit the fan every now and then.)
[02:43] <Baphnedia> (wb)
[02:44] <Baphnedia> She leads you to a dodge stratus, fucia colored.
[02:44] <Baphnedia> She opens up the trunk.
[02:44] * Ralith looks very, very apprehensive.
[02:44] <Baphnedia> Indicating to Ralith, she says "get in the trunk."
[02:44] <Veruth> (Dial-up, I got disconnected three times then did a total restart :/)
[02:44] * Ralith restrains a whimper and complies.
[02:45] <Baphnedia> Indicating Lupin, you'll be riding up front with me.
[02:45] <Baphnedia> She closes the trunk.
[02:45] <Lupin> "No."
[02:45] <Lupin> "I'm going with the police."
[02:45] <Lupin> "They can transport me back to chicago on their own."
[02:45] <Veruth> (What've I missed?)
[02:46] <Baphnedia> "Move!" She tries to force you into the back seat of the car.
[02:46] <Ralith> (me and Lupin being declared effectively dead then getting baph to reluctantly allow us to keep playing)
[02:46] <Baphnedia> She still has her gun on Lupin.
[02:46] * Lupin doesn't move making sure there are several police officers behind him.
[02:46] * Ralith wiggles his hands around a bit in their cuffs.
[02:46] <Lupin> "I would warn you that the police officers behind me aren't covered""
[02:46] <Lupin> "So it's not a good idea to shoot me."
[02:47] <Lupin> "At this distance, you'd end up hitting them too.
[02:47] <Baphnedia> She takes it the Major Payne by sticking the barrel of the gun under your arse and point it upwards. "If it goes up through the top of the skull, it ain't gonna hit anybody now is it? Get in the car or get an arsectomy."
[02:48] * Baphnedia is now known as Iliana
[02:48] <Ralith> (how am I cuffed, are the cuffs tight, where are my hands?)
[02:49] <Iliana> (hands were cuffed behind your back, while she had you facing the wall, at that point I considered you to be unplayable)
[02:49] <Ralith> (wait, facing the wall?)
[02:49] <Iliana> (ok... ooc delay tactics will get Lupin killed in les than a minute)
[02:49] <Ralith> (I backed up against the wall.)
[02:49] <Lupin> (I wasn't facing the wall.)
[02:49] <Iliana> (ahh... ok. cuffs are tight and in front of you then)
[02:49] <Iliana> (I'll give ya that much)
[02:50] * Ralith feels around the inside of the trunk.
[02:50] <Iliana> 30 seconds gone
[02:50] * Lupin slowly starts to get in the car. "I wouldn't be so sure about that. Bullets have been known to bounce off of all sort of things in a body. Personally, I wouldn't take that chance."
[02:50] <Ralith> (I'm waiting for description here...)
[02:51] <Ralith> (*scrabbles madly*)
[02:51] <Iliana> (the trunk is empty that you can feel.... except for the uncomfortable spare tire underneath your ribs)
[02:51] * Ralith pointedly feels around the latch.
[02:51] <Iliana> (double word score!)
[02:52] <Ralith> (and no pretending I can't do that.)
[02:52] <Ralith> (Trunks have inside opening mechanisms, don't they?)
[02:52] <Lupin> (Yeah, to prevent people from being trapped in the,)
[02:52] <Veruth> (a lot of them do to prevent that type of thing)
[02:52] * Iliana waits for Lupin to finish getting into the car.
[02:52] <Ralith> (just in case someone went and did something stupid like getting stuck on one.)
[02:52] <Lupin> (them)
[02:52] <Ralith> (or, say, being threatened into one by a bounty hunter)
[02:53] <Ralith> (that's kinda stupid too)
[02:53] <Iliana> (like a bounty hunter is going to leave a device like that on a car?!)
[02:53] <Ralith> (Or be able to remove it without f*** up the latch?)
[02:54] <Aki> (hehe)
[02:54] <Ralith> (if she did that it'd probably be irreversibly /open/)
[02:54] <Ralith> (I like me. I'm not going to go let myself die.)
[02:54] <Lupin> (Same here.)
[02:54] <Iliana> (ok you two are delaying too much with ooc. Your characters are hereby unplayable.
[02:55] <Lupin> (I'm not delaying.)
[02:55] <Ralith> (I'm waiting for description, baph.)
[02:55] <Ralith> (you never told me what I felt.)
[02:55] <Iliana> (I warned Ralith earlier that too much ooc tactics would get you killed Lupin
[02:55] <Ralith> (You're not giving us anything to do! Do you want us to say '/me hums a tune' every 15 seconds?!)
[02:56] * Ralith inhales
[02:56] * Ralith exhales
[02:56] * Ralith inhales some more
[02:56] <Iliana> [02:51] <Iliana> (the trunk is empty that you can feel.... except for the uncomfortable spare tire underneath your ribs)
[02:56] <Ralith> (I proceeded to ffeel around the latch.)
[02:56] * Lupin finishes getting into the car.
[02:56] <Ralith> (besides, shouldn't you not be doing description ooc?)
[02:56] * Ralith thinks about how crappy air in a trunk is
[02:56] * Ralith muses on the concept of claustraphobia
[02:57] * Ralith continues trying to feel around the latch mechanism
[02:57] <Iliana> You cannot feel the latch, as it's not accessbile from inside the trunk.
[02:57] <Ralith> (THank you.)
[02:57] * Ralith inhales deeply.
[02:58] <Ralith> "Help! I can't take this any more! I'm f*** claustraphobic! Get me out of here!"
[02:58] <Iliana> That's as far as it goes.
[02:58] * Ralith continues in that vein.
[02:58] * Ralith flails against the trunk, thumping random things
[02:58] * Ralith hyperventilates
[02:59] <Iliana> I'm not going to play out your deaths. You surrenedered to the very organzition that you were trying to fight.
[02:59] * Iliana has changed the topic to: We have two rules: Treat everyone here with respect, and don't eat sentient beings no matter how tasty they may be with tobasco sauce.
[02:59] <Ralith> (no, we appeared to surrender to a lady with a gun.)
[02:59] <Iliana> Yes. you did.

[Lupin]

[03:00] <@Ralith> I didn't see any conspiritational leaders walking about.
[03:00] <@Iliana> She's contracted by the same people who destroyed Silo 17, and who have a couple of weapons that you're lookikng for.
[03:00] <@Iliana> lol
[03:00] <@Iliana> Ok
[03:00] <@Ralith> but she's not /them/
[03:01] <@Iliana> That's what pawns are for.
[03:01] <@Ralith> and even they aren't perfect.
[03:01] <@Iliana> Ok. How did this whole thing happen tonight?
[03:01] <@Iliana> the palyers in the alley are still fine.
[03:01] <@Iliana> btw
[03:01] <@Aki> Ralith. She's like Boba Fett. She's not the Empire. But she works for them.
[03:01] <@Ralith> Aki, and she's also escapable.
[03:01] <@Iliana> I gave you three choices for a store to get clothes
[03:01] <@Lupin> Not to mention, even if she got us in the car, that doesn't mean she's going to get very far with us.
[03:02] <@Iliana> She might just go a block away from the store and execute you both.
[03:02] <@Ralith> Or that if she even got to the destination that we'd stick around there long
[03:02] <@Ralith> She might, but she might not pull it off.
[03:02] <@Iliana> A gansta store, a mom and pop shop and a kmart.
[03:02] <@Aki> Well, theres always the chance of Ralith shifting and ripping out the back of the car...
[03:02] <@Ralith> I can't rip through a car very well
[03:02] <@Lupin> And and soon as she drives out of sight on of the police, I might grab the wheel and slam the car into something.
[03:02] <@Ralith> however, I can leap out as soon as the trunk is opened
[03:03] <@Ralith> and a wolf can RUN
[03:03] <@Lupin> Ralith: The padding of the back seat.
[03:03] <@Ralith> good point.
[03:03] <@Ralith> that's assuming I don't get out with my whole claustraphobia thing
[03:03] <@Lupin> I can still take a lot mor damage as a human than she can.
[03:03] <@Lupin> more*
[03:03] <@Ralith> and I have several paths open to me, as we've demonstrated
[03:03] <@Ralith> she probably doesn't know about the werewolf thing
[03:03] <@Iliana> Ok. Let's play it out then.
[03:04] <@Ralith> I have this nasty feeling that you won't let us survive this no matter what happens/
[03:04] <@Ralith> .
[03:04] <@Iliana> Before the door of the car closes, she hog ties Lupin
[03:04] <@Lupin> Then I wouldn't fit in the car.
[03:04] * Ralith continues his freaking-out-ness.
[03:04] <@Iliana> Securing him to the back seat of the car by the seatbelt.
[03:04] <@Lupin> I'm in the passengers seat, remeber?
[03:05] <@Iliana> 'up front' is in the passenger cab of the car, not the passenger seat. I should've clarified that.
[03:05] * Ralith kicks the side of the car some, screaming some more.
[03:05] <@Lupin> [02:44] <Baphnedia> Indicating Lupin, you'll be riding up front with me.
[03:05] <@Ralith> The cops are still nearby, aren't they? Are all cops so emotionless that they'd let a claustraphobe get trunked?
[03:06] <@Lupin> Hey, I don't get any breaks when I do something like that.
[03:06] <@Lupin> You shouldn't either.
[03:06] <@Iliana> The cops can't do s*** about it. If they're saying anything at all about it, you can't hear them over your own screaming.
[03:06] <@Ralith> Well, that clarifies that
[03:07] <@Ralith> How's the car designed?
[03:07] <@Iliana> 4 door sedan
[03:07] <@Iliana> there's not enough trunk space
[03:07] <@Ralith> So she trusts her bounty to be sitting behind or next to her while she's driving?
[03:07] <@Ralith> not enough in what sense?
[03:07] <@Lupin> To put both of us in there.
[03:07] <@Iliana> for both of you and a spare tire
[03:07] <@Iliana> heaven forbid she gets a flat
[03:08] <@Ralith> so she trusts Lupin not to try something, or she's just stupid?
[03:09] <@Iliana> she closes the door to the car, she goes around to the back and opens the trunk "Lemme help you sleep." and thwacks you with her pistol.
[03:09] * Ralith tries to jerk out of the way
[03:09] <@Ralith> !d20+10.5 dodge
[03:09] <+Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 10.5 for a total of 15.5 dodge
[03:09] <@Iliana> You think that she might have a kinky side in her thought processes.
[03:10] <@Ralith> That implies that I'm in a state to think
[03:10] <@Iliana> !d20+10 thwack
[03:10] <+Lycaon> Iliana rolled d20 + 10 for a total of 19 thwack
[03:11] <@Ralith> Well, at least you rolled
[03:11] <@Iliana> (instinct dodging?)
[03:11] <@Iliana> (I haven't instituted a system to work unconciousness quite yet)
[03:11] <@Ralith> (:P)
[03:11] <@Iliana> You will have a nasty headache.
[03:11] * Iliana closes the trunk.
[03:11] <@Ralith> (and THAT implies that I'll survive.)
[03:11] <@Ralith> (rather directly.)
[03:12] <@Ralith> (not to mention that as a werewolf I'm significantly tougher than she expects)
[03:12] <@Iliana> (the implications of this are distrubing, indeed)
[03:12] <@Ralith> (that's a topic for the pack- how do werewolves in human form hold up to pistol-thwacking?)
[03:12] <@Aki> (haha)
[03:12] <@Lupin> (Heh)
[03:13] * Iliana gets in the driver's seat and gets on her cell phone
[03:13] <@Ralith> (I'll stand by my opinion of 'significantly better than a human')
[03:13] <@Iliana> (just as well as a human, you're in human form)
[03:14] * Lupin starts shifting to gestalt.
[03:14] <@Ralith> (we've agreed that werewovles have superior healing in any form)
[03:14] <@Iliana> "I got the two in the department store picked up. You want me to drop them to a local safehouse, or do you want me to just kill them?"
[03:14] <@Ralith> (recovering from a blow falls under 'healing')
[03:15] <@Iliana> Lupin, your bindings are very constricting, and your wrists and ankles hurt a lot.
[03:15] <@Ralith> (What did she use to bind him, kevlar rope?)
[03:15] <@Aki> (Even normal rope would hurt..)
[03:15] <@Aki> (:P)
[03:15] <@Ralith> (true.)
[03:16] <@Ralith> (however, the forces of expansion at work here are a lot more than those that could be applied by muscle normally)
[03:16] <@Iliana> "Nevermind on one, there'll be only one alive." She sets the phone down, and takes out her pistol, firing at Lupin's head.
[03:16] * Lupin pulls on the rope.
[03:16] <@Iliana> Cuffs, heavy zip ties.
[03:16] <@Iliana> !d20+10 headshot
[03:16] <+Lycaon> Iliana rolled d20 + 10 for a total of 25 headshot
[03:16] <@Ralith> (it'll hurt like hell and might make a nasty injury, but it's still going to have to be something like diamond to not break)
[03:16] <@Lupin> !d20+11 dodge
[03:16] <+Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 + 11 for a total of 21 dodge
[03:17] <@Iliana> Roll life.
[03:17] <@Lupin> !d20+11 life
[03:17] <+Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 + 11 for a total of 23 life
[03:17] <@Ralith> !d20+10.5 prayer after hearing gunshot
[03:17] <+Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 10.5 for a total of 16.5 prayer after hearing gunshot
[03:17] <@Aki> (lol)
[03:17] <@Iliana> There is blood all over the back of the car. Lupin, you're unconcious.
[03:17] <@Ralith> (now what about a werewolf's increased ability to heal affecting blunt trauma recovery?)
[03:18] <@Iliana> !d60
[03:18] <+Lycaon> Iliana rolled d60 for a total of 14.
[03:18] <@Iliana> Ralith, you can hear her end of the conversation.
[03:18] <@Ralith> (that's either very good or very bad, and I'm not sure I want to know which)
[03:18] <@Iliana> "Sorry you had to hear that.
[03:18] <@Ralith> (:D)
[03:18] <@Iliana> "I think I just killed one of them."
[03:18] <@Iliana> "So, where do you want the other one?"
[03:18] * Ralith shifts directly to wolf.
[03:18] <@Iliana> There is a slight pause.
[03:18] <@Iliana> "Done."
[03:19] * Ralith tears through the back of the seat
[03:19] <@Iliana> The car is driving. It idles for a moment, and starts going down hill
[03:19] <@Iliana> ack
[03:19] <@Ralith> (roll attack against seat?)
[03:19] <@Aki> (lol, seat blocks!)
[03:19] <@Iliana> As you start tearing through the seat, you can hear her stop the car. She is right on the other side, with lupin's body.
[03:20] * Ralith keeps tearing through the seat, judgement a bit clouded by consideration of Lupin being probably dead.
[03:20] <@Iliana> She cuts lupin's ears off.
[03:20] <@Aki> (O_O....)
[03:20] * Ralith prepares to move quickly.
[03:20] <@Iliana> The trunk opens.

[03:21] <@Ralith> (what?)
[03:21] <@Ralith> (when did that happen?)
[03:21] <@Lupin> No he isn't.
[03:21] <@Lupin> He shifted to wolf
[03:21] <@Ralith> (I was cuffed, and cuffs don't work on paws.)
[03:21] <@Iliana> (good point)
[03:21] <@Ralith> (:D)
[03:21] <@Ralith> (-1 evil point to you, baph)
[03:22] <@Iliana> (go for her throat)
[03:22] <@Ralith> (I did.)
[03:22] <@Ralith> [01:21] * Ralith goes for her throat
[03:22] <@Iliana> (roll. The dex check was to make sure you made it out of the trunk before she slammes it shut, seeing a wolf
[03:22] <@Iliana> you make it out of the trunk perfectly
[03:22] <@Ralith> (I assumed as much. But she's not going to be very prepared for me )

[03:23] <@Iliana> You tackle trying for a knockdown, right?
[03:24] <@Iliana> You bite her in the neck.
[03:24] * Ralith tears.
[03:24] <@Ralith> (long canine teath + tearing = major plastic surgery at best)
[03:24] <@Iliana> !d20+10 wrestling
[03:24] <+Lycaon> Iliana rolled d20 + 10 for a total of 14 wrestling
[03:24] <@Ralith> (should I roll?)
[03:24] <@Lupin> (If he doesn't collapse her windpipe and kill her.)
[03:24] <@Iliana> She gets very enraged

[03:24] <+Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 10.5 for a total of 20.5 grapple
[03:25] <@Ralith> (owning.)
[03:25] <@Iliana> Her eyes turn a saphire blue.
[03:25] <@Aki> (Lycaon's making up for all the bad rolls he's given to Ralith before..)
[03:25] <@Iliana> You realize that the wound on her face wasn't claw maarks
[03:25] <@Ralith> (ok, that's not f*** fair.)
[03:25] <@Iliana> but a bite mark
[03:25] <@Ralith> (haven't I torn out her throat or crushed it at least yet?)
[03:26] <@Ralith> (I've had more than enough time)
[03:26] <@Iliana> You got her neck, you didn't get her windpipe or anything critical. You did tear a chunk out of her neck and sh'es pissed

[03:26] * Ralith tries again.
[03:26] <@Ralith> !d20+10.5 attack
[03:26] <+Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 10.5 for a total of 12.5 attack
[03:26] <@Ralith> (f***.)
[03:26] <@Iliana> With only a few points above the defensive roll, youdon't get arteries or windpipes
[03:26] <@Ralith> (6 is a few?)
[03:27] <@Ralith> (it's more than a quarter of the maximum)
[03:27] <@Lupin> (The artery is pretty much on the surface in the neck.)
[03:27] <@Iliana> !d20+10 wrestle
[03:27] <+Lycaon> Iliana rolled d20 + 10 for a total of 18 wrestle
[03:27] <@Ralith> (it's hard not to get anything critical.)
[03:27] <@Lupin> (As is the windpipe.)
[03:27] <@Iliana> She manages to get your mouth away from her neck.
[03:27] <@Ralith> !d20+10.5 wrestle back.
[03:27] <+Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 10.5 for a total of 15.5 wrestle back.
[03:27] * Veruth has quit (Connection reset by peer)
[03:27] <@Iliana> Hair is starting to grow over her skin.
[03:27] * Ralith isn't giving up on this one.
[03:28] <@Iliana> (she gets an attack now)
[03:28] <@Ralith> (ok, fighting /while/ shifting is going to disadvantage her.)
[03:28] <@Ralith> (saying otherwise is just BS.)

[03:28] <@Iliana> !d20+5 knife Ralith

[03:29] <+Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 10.5 for a total of 23.5 attack
[03:29] <@Ralith> (the excitement of dicerolling!)
[03:29] <@Iliana> She's getting through the change rather quickly
[03:29] <@Ralith> (but she's not through yet.)
[03:29] <@Iliana> !d20+5 attack (her turn)
[03:29] <+Lycaon> Iliana rolled d20 + 5 for a total of 9 attack (her turn)
[03:29] <@Ralith> (bwahahah)
[03:29] <@Iliana> (exactly why her full bonus aint back)
[03:30] <@Ralith> (so I got a huge advantage there. Does nothign happen?)
[03:30] <@Iliana> She snarls at you (you attacked out of turn). Her face contorts in the change, her face skeleton almost changing with her expression.
[03:30] <@Iliana> (your turn)
[03:31] <@Ralith> (oh ffs.)
[03:31] <@Ralith> !d20+10.5 attack

[03:31] <+Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 10.5 for a total of 22.5 dodge
[03:32] <@Iliana> She's a full evile were, a knife in one hand. She stands much taller than you.
[03:32] <@Ralith> (no, she lies much longer than me)

[03:33] <+Lycaon> Iliana rolled d20 + 10 for a total of 21 defend
[03:33] <@Ralith> (remember that she's bleeding a lot. A neck wound, even if it miraculously was nonfatal, is a nasty thing)
[03:33] <@Iliana> You bite her again
[03:33] * Ralith clamps down and tears again.
[03:33] <@Iliana> (yes, but so far I didn't give you a penalty for rolls whiile you had metal in your side)
[03:33] <@Ralith> (metal? what?)
[03:33] <@Iliana> You have her shoulder)
[03:33] <@Iliana> (shrapnel from the RPG)
[03:33] <@Ralith> (oh. Point taken.)
[03:34] <@Ralith> (but then, there wasn't any need for dexterity)
[03:34] <@Ralith> (no rolled running etc.)

[03:35] <@Iliana> She clamps on to your neck.
[03:35] <@Ralith> (well, that's a smaller difference than I've gotten on her)
[03:35] <@Iliana> And takes a piece of your neck.
[03:35] <@Ralith> (and you labeled mine nonfatal)
[03:35] <@Iliana> (don't jump to concusoins)
[03:35] <@Lupin> (You also have fur.)

[03:36] <+Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 10.5 for a total of 15.5 dodge bite
[03:37] <@Iliana> (not much time for description, you're in a park, with a boat launch, that the car is parked at the top of.)
[03:37] <@Iliana> She gets a second hold on your neck.
[03:37] <@Ralith> (it's deserted, I take it?)

[03:39] <@Ralith> (so, define bearhug.)
[03:39] <@Ralith> (I have this sneaking suspicion it's not a greeting.)
[03:39] <@Ralith> (Is she trying to crush my ribs or what?)

[03:41] <@Ralith> (that I can't breathe, that is)
[03:41] <@Iliana> She's got you immobilizied.
[03:41] <@Ralith> (the bearhug itself registered somewhere.)
[03:41] <@Ralith> (she only has two arms.)
[03:41] <@Ralith> (how does she immobilize all of me?)
[03:41] <@Lupin> (And a nasty bite in one shoulder.)

[03:41] <@Ralith> (muscle-relaxant packets in the neck?)
[03:41] <@Iliana> Yes, and she only is about seven feet tall, to your perhaps, 3 ft long.
[03:41] <@Ralith> (still only two arms.)
[03:42] <@Ralith> (and small things can be damned hard to entrap. Ever tried to hold a cat that doesn't want to be held?)
[03:42] <@Iliana> Your neck doesn't stretch far enouth. You're too small. Yes, and I've had few problems out of cats.

[23:25] * Zen is away

[23:26] <@Baphnedia> :/
[23:26] <@Baphnedia> Lupin, you're groggy, you wake up as Ralith is messing with your head.
[23:26] <@Baphnedia> You feel very, very groggy, and your ears tingle
[23:26] <@Ralith> "Lupin, you there?"
[23:27] * Ralith sounds strained.
[23:27] <@Lupin> "...sasdfjhsdhuh?"
[23:27] * You are no longer marked as being away
[23:27] <@Baphnedia> (3 minutes realtime)
[23:27] <@Ralith> "Shift. Just shift. I can explain what happened later."
[23:27] <@Ralith> !d20+11.6 medical on self again
[23:27] <+Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 11.6 for a total of 27.6 medical on self again
[23:27] <@Ralith> (theeere we go)
[23:27] * Lupin tries to shift back to human.
[23:27] <@Baphnedia> The papertowels stop the bleeding.
[23:28] <@Baphnedia> (roll shift Lupin)
[23:28] <@Aki> (*slips Lycaon a bribe..*)

[23:28] <+Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 + 13 for a total of 14 shift to human.
[23:28] <@Aki> (O.o..)
[23:28] <@Lupin> (:/)
[23:28] <@Vilkacis> (What kind of bribe was that?)
[23:28] <@Baphnedia> It's difficult to concentrate.
[23:28] <@Ralith> (eek. unlucku bonus)
[23:28] <@Aki> (*stabs Lycaon* Bastard. I want my money back!)
[23:28] * Ralith , having fixed himself up, returns to Lupin.
[23:28] <@Baphnedia> You're still halfway.
[23:28] <@Baphnedia> (less than 2 min)
[23:28] <@Ralith> "You need to shift! I don't know how to do anything as it is!"
[23:28] <@Vilkacis> (Yeah, yeah... Are you sure you're on our side Aki? )
[23:28] <@Baphnedia> (Ralith is safe)
[23:29] <@Ralith> "Try just going the rest of the way to gestalt."
[23:29] <@Baphnedia> (1 min)
[23:29] <@Aki> (*shoots Vilk* )
[23:29] * Lupin wakes a bit and tries to go to gestalt.
[23:29] <@Lupin> !d20+13 shift to gestalt.
[23:29] <+Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 + 13 for a total of 21 shift to gestalt.
[23:29] <@Baphnedia> The shift starts to happen slowly
[23:29] <@Baphnedia> (how the hell do you pull that crap off now?!)
[23:29] <@Ralith> "Go on, you can do this!"
[23:29] <@Aki> (See? A bit of pointy persuasion never hurt...)
[23:29] <@Lupin> (s/makes/wakes/)
[23:29] <@Ralith> "Keep it up!"
[23:29] * Lupin focuses on the sound of Ralith's voice and contiues to shift.
[23:30] <@Baphnedia> The ears don't return, but the scabs and a nasty spot on the head kind of...stop up a little.
[23:30] * Ralith looks very worried.
[23:30] <@Ralith> (did we make it?)
[23:30] <@Ralith> "How do you feel?"
[23:30] -Baphnedia- This took it all out of you.
[23:30] <@Baphnedia> (yes)
[23:30] <@Ralith> (:D)
[23:30] -Baphnedia- You really want to go back to sleep.
[23:30] <@Ralith> (*cheers wildly*)
[23:30] <@Aki> !cheer
[23:30] <+Lycaon> * Aki cheers riotously!
[23:30] * Lupin collapes panting slowly.
[23:31] * Ralith sighs and relaxes a little

[Lupin]

[20:36] * Ralith sighs, and leans back against the car, sliding down into a sittng position.
[20:36] * Lupin rests inside.
[20:37] * Ralith rubs his eyes and looks stressed/streched/tired.
[20:37] <Lupin> "We're... going to have to clean... this up."
[20:37] * Ralith speaks quietly to himself, "Right. One thing at a time."
[20:37] * Ralith looks up. "Yeah."
[20:37] * Ralith 's voice is noticably weak.
[20:38] * Ralith slowly climbs back to his feet, and goes around to the trunk.
[20:38] * Ralith dons Veruth's clothes.
[20:39] * Lupin slowly moves to a sitting position in the open car door.
[20:39] <Ralith> "I'm going to see what I can get off the hunter."
[20:39] * Ralith walks over to her body and starts going through the remenants of clothes.
[20:40] * Ralith looks specifically for a wallet and cell phone.
[20:41] <Ralith> (*pokes Baphnedia*)
[20:41] * Lupin gets up slowly and starts looking around in the car
[20:41] <Baphnedia> (one sec)
[20:41] <Ralith> (You should probably invite Lycaon too, btw)
[20:41] <Baphnedia> You find one of each
[20:41] * Lycaon (Lycaon@*.hsd1.wa.comcast.net) has joined #paradice2
[20:41] <Lycaon> I'm a bot. Baphnedia invited me to #paradice2. An op can tell me to leave with '!part'. Use '!help' to see what I can do.
[20:42] <Baphnedia> !d99
[20:42] <Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d99 for a total of 86.
[20:42] <Baphnedia> you find 86 cents in her pockets
[20:42] * Ralith shrugs and puts the coins into the wallet.
[20:42] * Ralith looks around for something to write on and with.
[20:43] <Ralith> "Lupin, anything to write on in there?"
[20:43] * Lupin looks for paper in the car.
[20:44] <Ralith> (*pokes Baphnedia again*)
[20:44] * Baphnedia is poked
[20:44] <Baphnedia> There is paper in the car
[20:45] * Lupin grabs the paper in the car, and looks at it.
[20:45] <Baphnedia> You find a class 3 liscence for carrying firearms
[20:45] * Ralith pokes his head in. "Got anything?"
[20:46] * Lupin hads Ralith the paper "This."
[20:46] <Baphnedia> There is an anonymous phone number with a 703 area code.
[20:46] <Baphnedia> It's written on a peice of a napkin
[20:46] * Lupin continues searching for something to write with.
[20:46] <Ralith> "It'll do. There must be a pen, pencil, or something."
[20:46] <Baphnedia> there's a small pad in the car, the maintenance log for Enterprise Rent-A-Car.
[20:46] <Ralith> "I say we note down the call history of this thing then leave it on her body."
[20:47] <Lupin> "Sounds good..."
[20:47] <Ralith> "Could cause quite a stir when she's found."
[20:47] * Ralith checks for a writing implement attached to the pad
[20:47] <Baphnedia> Call history:
[20:48] <Baphnedia> 815-555-
[20:48] <Baphnedia> !d9999
[20:48] <Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d9999 for a total of 1062.
[20:48] <Lupin> "Speaking of which... I wonder if she was part of the expierements."

[20:49] <Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d9999 for a total of 4335.
[20:49] * Ralith continues looking for a pen or pencil.
[20:50] <Ralith> "I suppose you could always claw it into the paper.
[20:50] <Ralith> "
[20:50] <Baphnedia> Gah.. she has a pen
[20:50] * Ralith grabs it. "Here we go."
[20:51] * Ralith carefully writes down the call history, with a look of not having practiced writing in quite a while.
[20:51] * Lupin walks away from the car, and slowly over to the body
[20:52] * Ralith also copies the number from the napkin.
[20:52] * Ralith has an idea.
[20:52] * Ralith takes the napking, scrawls "There were no terrorists at the silo." on it, and drops it on the hunter's body.
[20:52] <Ralith> (napkin* )
[20:53] * Lupin examines Iliana's left arm.
[20:54] <Baphnedia> There is nothing on her left arm.
[20:54] * Lupin examines the right.
[20:54] <Ralith> "Nothing?"
[20:55] <Lupin> "Noting on the left."
[20:57] <Lupin> (*pokes Baphnedia*)
[20:57] <Ralith> "Hm."
[20:57] * Ralith shrugs, not wanting to bother thinking about it at the moment.
[20:58] * Lupin gets up. "I suppose we should get going."
[20:58] <Ralith> "Right."
[20:58] * Ralith looks around.
[20:59] <Baphnedia> The park is mostly empty... it is devoid of people. There is a rusted jungle gym about fifty feet away
[20:59] <Ralith> "You really shouldn't be wandering about like that."
[21:00] <Ralith> "But do we even have any clothes...?"
[21:00] * Lupin starts walking away from the body "No, but I'm not sure I have much of a choice."
[21:01] * Ralith sighs. "I know this much-- walking around unclothed will draw almost as much attention, if not more, than in gestalt."
[21:01] * Lupin looks at the tattered remains of his clothes, "Maybe I should see if I can shift to wolf."
[21:02] * You have been marked as being away
[21:02] <Ralith> "Point. I keep forgetting that that won't attract attention."
[21:02] * You are no longer marked as being away
[21:02] * You are no longer marked as being away
[21:03] <Ralith> "It'll do your wound and ears good, anyway."
[21:03] <Lupin> "Yeah."
[21:03] * Lupin starts shifting to wolf, slowly.
[21:05] <Ralith> !d20+11.6 nav
[21:05] <Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 11.6 for a total of 29.6 nav
[21:05] <Baphnedia> (roll shift to wolf)

[21:05] <Lupin> !d20+13 shift to wolf
[21:05] <Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 + 13 for a total of 15 shift to wolf
[21:05] <Ralith> (:P)
[21:05] <Lupin> (Wow, I suck at that.)
[21:06] <Ralith> (you must have a nasty headache)
[21:06] <Baphnedia> it's tough, but you pull it off eventually
[21:07] <Lupin> (Excedrine headache #e: GSW to the head)
[21:08] <Baphnedia> (you people need to stop rolling so high on survival rolls)
[21:09] <Ralith> (heh)
[21:09] * Ralith cautiously starts heading back the way the car came.
[21:10] * Lupin follows, sniffing.
[21:10] <Baphnedia> running?
[21:11] <Ralith> (no, moving cautiously)
[21:11] * Ralith looks around, a bit nervous.
[21:12] <Baphnedia> The industrial park ends in chain link fences.
[21:12] <Ralith> (how'd the car get in?)
[21:12] <Ralith> (I did roll 29.6 on nav )
[21:13] <Baphnedia> (there is an opening for vehicles)
[21:13] <Ralith> (is it guarded?)
[21:13] * You have been marked as being away
[21:14] <Baphnedia> (no)
[21:15] <Baphnedia> long story short you guys get back
[21:15] * Baphnedia has kicked Lycaon from #paradice2 (Kick!)
[21:15] <Ralith> (heh)
[21:15] * Baphnedia (Baphnedia@*.dhcp.mdsn.wi.charter.com) has left #paradice2
[21:15] * Ralith (Ralith@66.150.12.*) has left #paradice2

[20:20] <@Sam> (Yes.)
[20:20] <@Baphnedia> (will someone please do a quick review of the last session pls?)

[20:22] <@Lupin> (Sessionsaver supports POST now? :/)
[20:22] <@Ralith> (*shrug*)
[20:22] <@Baphnedia> Lupin is knocked out in the back seat of a sedan
[20:22] <@Ralith> (I thought he was concious? He shifted, after all.)
[20:22] <@Lupin> (I'm awake.)
[20:22] <@Lupin> (Barely.)
[20:22] <@Ralith> (yeah)
[20:23] <@Baphnedia> (review pls?)
[20:24] <@Ralith> (I'm either in or around the car, Lupin's just shifted to gestalt minus the ears and is barely concious, I'm naked with Veruth's clothes in the trunk, the BH is dead gorily on the ground.)
[20:25] <@Baphnedia> Pretty much
[20:25] <@Ralith> (done?)
[20:26] <@Baphnedia> The blood of the dead were is running down the slope of the

[20:28] <@Lupin> (Gah, I have to find my password, brb)
[20:28] <@Baphnedia> Iliana's blood is running into the water.
[20:29] <@Baphnedia> (kk)
[20:29] * Baphnedia switches to the group in the Alley
[20:29] <@Baphnedia> The cops have left Kmart in their cruisers.
[20:29] <@Ralith> (:D)
[20:30] <@Baphnedia> Not in a big hurry, but one of them pulls into the Krispy Kreme across the street. Another one pulls into a Dunkin Doghnuts further down the street.
[20:30] <@Ralith> (:|)
[20:30] * Aki watches, amused
[20:31] <@Baphnedia> There is no sign of Lupin or Ralith.
[20:31] <@Ralith> (*plasters up a sign*)
[20:31] -Baphnedia- You can start making your way back to the alley... to do so, roll navigation and let me know how you're going to go about it... if that's what you do.
[20:31] <@Baphnedia> (a sign?)
[20:32] <@Ralith> (yeah. now there's a sign of me )
[20:32] * Sam glances at Aki briefly before letting out a silent yawn
[20:32] <@Baphnedia> (:D)
[20:33] <@Baphnedia> (what are those in the alley wearing right now?)
[20:33] <@Aki> (well...being a wolf... )
[20:33] <@Baphnedia> The afternoon is going towards evening.. you are still wearing your birhtday suits (if I recall correctly)
[20:33] <@Baphnedia> (that works)
[20:33] <@Baphnedia> It's going to get cold this evening.
[20:34] <@Baphnedia> The sun will be setting in about an hour.
[20:34] <@Ralith> (perhaps we should split into two rooms until we rejoin?)
[20:34] <@Sam> (heh... I don't remember... I've missed the last 3-4 games )
[20:34] <@Lupin> (Sam: You're human and wearing clothes.)
[20:34] <@Sam> (thought so)
[20:35] <@Lupin> (Sam: Which I'm not sure, since you underwent a bit of minor surgery.)
[20:35] <@Baphnedia> (Ralith and Lupin, meet up in #paradice2 until we get you back with the main group
[20:36] <@Sam> (I don't think Aki and I are going to be doing a lot in the meantime anyway )
[20:36] <@Baphnedia> (hehe)
[20:36] <@Ralith> (wish Veruth was here)
[20:36] <@Lupin> (Yeah)
[20:37] <@Sam> (uh huh)
[20:37] * Sam looks down at Aki again...
[20:37] <@Baphnedia> (roll alley - Awareness)
[20:37] <@Sam> "I hope everything is going okay with them"

[20:40] * Aki watches as well
[20:41] <@Baphnedia> she's wearing jeans and a jacket

[20:43] <@Sam> (I'm blissfully ignorant on that one )
[20:43] <@Aki> (hehe)
[20:44] <@Baphnedia> There is another woman walking her poodle behind the girl you're watching.
[20:44] <@Baphnedia> The poodle sniffs the air.
[20:44] <@Baphnedia> The lady is wearing some kind of business coat and skrit.
[20:44] <+ZenOfSeven> (SKRIT!)
[20:45] <@Ralith> (sounds like an insect)
[20:45] * Sam continues eyeing the passerbys.
[20:45] <@Baphnedia> The poodle loses her mind and stops at the mouth of the alley, straining against her leash.
[20:45] <@Baphnedia> She barks very loudly.
[20:46] * ZenOfSeven turns around to look at the poodle
[20:46] * ZenOfSeven frowns
[20:46] <@Ralith> (wouldn't a dog logically gtfo?)
[20:46] <@Ralith> (then again, dogs aren't logical)
[20:46] * Aki tries to look nonchalant.
[20:46] <@Sam> (dumbass poodle ;) )
[20:46] * ZenOfSeven turns around again and continues walking
[20:47] <@Baphnedia> The poodle ignores ZenOfSeven and the dog owner yells HEEL! at the top of her lungs.
[20:48] * ZenOfSeven mumbles "damn, lady!" o_O
[20:49] * Aki watches in amusement.
[20:49] <@Baphnedia> She yanks at her dog, who is trying to pull her into the alley.
[20:49] <@Baphnedia> The gold plated fine chain leash breaks and the poodle runs into the alley!

[20:51] <@Sam> (clothes!)
[20:52] <@Lupin> (:P)
[20:52] <@Baphnedia> The poodle, not to be discouraged, tries to jump on Aki again. The lady hollars at Sam, "Don't let your dogs touch mine!"
[20:52] <@Lupin> (Poodle no hentai!)
[20:52] * ZenOfSeven stops again and turns around
[20:52] <+ZenOfSeven> (dirty)
[20:52] <@Sam> "Hey! Who's attacking who, lady!"
[20:53] <@Baphnedia> "You're dogs are attacking mine! I'll see to it that is what the case is if you don't give me my dog back!"

[20:55] <@Baphnedia> "Give me my dog back!"
[20:55] <@Baphnedia> A few heads are turned on the street, looking into the alleyway. A blue jeep drives by.
[20:55] <@Sam> "I didn't take it. Please feel free to get it."
[20:56] <@Sam> "My dog will stand down."
[20:56] <@Baphnedia> "Your dogs better not bite mine!" She holds a hand up to her mouth to cover her expression.

[20:59] <@Sam> "See, no problem."
