Session Ident: #TAW-Session378
* Now talking in #TAW-Session378
<DeathStar> *sets an item of glory down or something*
<Seraphna> **pokes Jackie**
* Jackieness pads over to the item and claims for self
<ChadWinters> Someday she'll learn to share
* Jackieness hisses
<DeathStar> Anyway
<DeathStar> Lets do this
<DeathStar> 3
<DeathStar> 2
<DeathStar> 1
* Xanatos has joined #TAW-Session378
<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> Date: Same as last
<DeathStar> Location: Moon Base
<DeathStar> 6* Warren kicks back in his seat to read the police files, letting the others have fun with the Ninth Circle member. Vesta joins him surprisingly
<Seraphna> *Angela reads files while Tabetha reads the circle member*
<DeathStar> <Warren> You all have fun talking to the prisoner - if there's any brain cells left
<Seraphna> Angela> Surely at least one more than Dias.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Warren. When do I get to punch something? All this talking with my mouth punches has been....6He eyes Angela. 1"What's that supposed to mean?"
<Xanatos> <Kane> I'm just catching up. Who is our prisoner?
* ChadWinters pinches the bridge of his nose as he stands up to move for the interogation. 1"Senator that's a member of the Nince Circle.
<ChadWinters> *Ninth*
<Seraphna> *Angela sighs softly and eyes another file* It’s no fun when he can’t follow my sarcasm.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Ah yes, I wasn't sure if we had acquired another.
<ChadWinters> Not yet. I think that'll be our next move probably.
<DeathStar> <Darien> It is Dias.
<DeathStar> <Darien> It's amazing he can pass a thought
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Hey! I pass all sorts of thoughts.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus eats a sandwich, watching them all.
<Seraphna> Angela> Gas isn’t thoughts.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *is sitting to the side* "Meh..."
<DeathStar> *Darien opens the door to the room, passing a drooling Spirit*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> I thought that was just words that came out of your mouth! 6He ha's at Angela and moves off
* ChadWinters moves along with Darien.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane follows them as Marcus turns to look at some files with Warren, chewing loudly.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "This is going no where in a hurry." *hops on to her feet*
<Seraphna> **Angela flicks a paper at the back of Dias’ head**
<DeathStar> <Warren> I will shoot you in the head. *he tells Marcus simply* Leader or not
<ChadWinters> 6Dias sneezes, his head ducking under it. He rubs his nose with the back of his hand
<DeathStar> *flicking to another file on the computer to read up on someone8
<Seraphna> *Tabetha tries to see if there’s anything left in the man**
<DeathStar> *in the other room, they find the Senator leaning back in his seat, tied up still and ears bleeding and drooling, looking as if X has been torturing him for hours*
<DeathStar> *X perers at Dias, then at the man, then back*
<DeathStar> <X> Impressive
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hm? Oh sorry, I get distracted.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> What is? All I did was talk to him.
<DeathStar> <X> Sure you did
<DeathStar> *X winks*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> I did...I had to prove to you all that all you needed to do was ask him!
<Xanatos> <Kane> Dias did this?
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Nothing so far. Dias, I think your talking actually gave him brain damage.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *leaves the main room* "Don't feel like paperwork or torturing anyone..."
<DeathStar> <X> Yes, he claims he talked the man to death
<ChadWinters> Yes. 6He glances at Kane. 1"Non-stop talking.
<DeathStar> <Darien> *glances at the fake Spirit next door*
<DeathStar> *X seems to be teasing since she still has her ear plugs on hand*
<Xanatos> <Kane> ... 6* He moves to get a cup of water for the man.
<DeathStar> *the man soon rouses due to the water and the team staring over him, sputtering and weakly eyeing them*
<Xanatos> 6* Kane offer him a drink, holding the cup up to his mouth.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias looks more confused at X then insulted.
<DeathStar> *the man warily sips the water, coughing*
<DeathStar> <Darien> Should we really let Dias near a microphone again?
<Seraphna> **Tabetha keeps reading his mind**
<DeathStar> *Darien asks. Wyrd mumbles to Truth about reaping Dias' soul*
* ChadWinters moves to the side of the room. 1"So, care to start talking then?"
<Seraphna> **Truth nods sagely**
<ChadWinters> 6Dias has grown bored and is doing hand stand push-ups now.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> If Not Dias has a whole story of when he and Marcus went on vacation.
<DeathStar> *Warren begins to try to find some secure files on the police servers - high levels of security*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hrm
<DeathStar> *Warren makes a note of them, then sees if the police have anything where the remaining two Circle members are hiding*
<DeathStar> <Man> ... *he eyes them all* What do you want. Just keep that fool away from me.
<DeathStar> <X> He called you a fool
<ChadWinters> 6Dias flips onto his feet. 1"Fool?! That's not very nice. I should tell him how he's wrong."
<DeathStar> *the man pales*
<DeathStar> *Zephyr enters the base from somewhere, pulling down her hoodie*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> I think you should tell us everything.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> If you do he won't get a word in edgewise.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'll be right back. I'll let you guys question him. *He moves off to talk to Zephyr*
<DeathStar> *the man eyes Tabetha, then begins*
<DeathStar> <Man> When I was a child. I dreamed of something bigger. Being something bigger
<DeathStar> <Man> Being part of something bigger
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances at the monitor and notes Zephyr returning(unless she would be more stealthy) and then goes back to looking at files.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Skip to the Ninth Circle parts
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Otherwise we'll get bored then it's Story Times with Dias.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias slowly reaches his hand towards X's ear.
<DeathStar> *the man pauses, then glares again*
* ChadWinters eyes Tabetha then the man. 1"Please continue."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Nothing on the police files. If there is anything relevant it is locked down with encryption. But we can at least read the files of police officers and other public files. *he brings up criminal files and other people*
<DeathStar> *the man shrugs* The Ninth Circle is a massive organization made of many people and many goals.
<DeathStar> <Man> Working to direct Earth to a better destiny.
<DeathStar> *He sips his water*
<ChadWinters> We know that already.
<ChadWinters> We want names, current plans you have in motion. Why you're working with the Shapeshifters.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane quietly watches the man, looking for non-verbal ticks that would relay whether he's lying or not.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Shame we have to play it safe or else I would have the hacker types go to town to try and get us more info...even if it even exists.
<Seraphna> *Tabetha listens to his surface thoughts to get a better idea too*
<DeathStar> *the man eyes Chad, then just smiles sickly* Current plans in motion? You sure you don't want me to go back decades
<ChadWinters> I'll humor you then. Go back decades. 6He crosses his arms, his expression stoic.
<DeathStar> <Man> The Ninth Circle is not an organization I can just give you. We work in small circles - hence the name. With one person knowing the bigger picture and one in the circle knowing someone of another circle in case something happens and the main person can't be reached.
<DeathStar> <Man> I can only tell you our plans
<DeathStar> <Man> There are suppose to be higher members. Maybe there's higher level circles which see bigger pictures
<DeathStar> <Warren> Kane should be good enough. You all brag about him.
<DeathStar> *Man slurps on the water*
<Seraphna> **Angela sighs a bit and shifts to another file**
<ChadWinters> That's it? You don't want to go back decades?
<DeathStar> <Man> Nah.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> He might be, I just don't want to alert anyone to our prescence since we're not really ready for a fight.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Alright for now I'm going to leave the cop network on - see what calls come in. Those files might be important
<DeathStar> *Warren steps off from the computer*
<Xanatos> <Kane> So you are but an underling to far more powerful members?
<DeathStar> <Warren> I might try to crack it if he won't
* ChadWinters glances to the others. 1"Anyone else want to ask him any questions? Otherwise we should dispose of him."
<DeathStar> *the man eyes Chad* Your creation was a mistake by the older members. All you Weapons
<DeathStar> *X turns to eye the man*
<Seraphna> Angela> I'm sure he'll take a crack at it. Right now he's playing good cop.
* ChadWinters glances back at the man now. 1"I'd probably agree at times."
<Seraphna> *Tabetha tilts her head* So General Cartwright was involved in this group? He made the originals didn't he?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Huh?
<Seraphna> **Tabetha shrugs** Thought it was something like Cran made the Dragoons and Venerator made the Weapons. I've only ever read some stuff about those conflicts.
<ChadWinters> The Weapons Project was mostly Cran's doing. 6He notes to Tabetha
<Seraphna> **Tabetha blinks** Oh, okay. **the entire time she goes with this distracting line of thinking, she digs a bit more mentally**
<DeathStar> <Darien> Venerator aided Cran in a lot of things.
<ChadWinters> He has his hands in places, yes.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Until they went their own ways
<DeathStar> *the man seems to be thinkin about Kane, then answers*
<DeathStar> <Man> I am not an underling but I am not high up in the eccelons of the organization either
<DeathStar> <Man> I do not see the bigger picture
<ChadWinters> So a middle man, if that.
<DeathStar> *the man makes a face*
<ChadWinters> The other two senators on this Colony. 1"Are they your handlers?"
<DeathStar> <Man> You do not seem to understand what a circle is
<DeathStar> <Man> Perhaps you are not smart at all
<DeathStar> <Man> Would you like me to speak slowly for your stupid little brain
<ChadWinters> Oh I do. I'm just trying to see if keeping you alive is worth it.
<Xanatos> <Kane> As ignorant as he is, we would like to find the leader of your circle. You could comply with that request.
<DeathStar> <Man> The Ninth Circle is made of many, many circles, some higher in the scale than others. I could not begin to tell you which ones are more important, you little monkey. *he eyes Chad* One in my circle is one who knows a member of another circle, in case something happens to us and needs to pass on information like you hunting us. And there is a circle that stands above all of us - at least I believe it is just one - that coordinates all the circles and gives orders.
<DeathStar> <Man> Did I spell it out slowly enough for you
<DeathStar> <Man> And my circle's missions lately have been to deal with you idiots on the moon and this fucking psycho Sunny and her army
<DeathStar> <Man> And the annoying Cobalts
<ChadWinters> And which members knows another circle.
<DeathStar> *The man rolls his eyes, as if exasperated*
<DeathStar> <Man> You are a fucking MORON
<Seraphna> Tabetha> I could always go deep to make sure he's telling the truth or knows more but... mostly they wind up mush after.
<DeathStar> <Man> If I knew THAT, that would put the member in DANGER
<DeathStar> <Man> Why don't you guess which of the two left in my circle
* kalonZombie has joined #TAW-Session378
* ChadWinters looks at Kane. 1"So there's 3 part of his circle, triangle, whatever it is if he's being honest.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Hmm, well he hasn't been lying so far... but he did hold something back.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> He strangely knows more about the Weapons than he let on.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Oh? 6* He glances to Tabetha.
<DeathStar> *the man seems to be trying to bang his own head against himself during this conversation*
<Xanatos> <Kane> Fascinating, that project would've been well before your time. 6* He peers at the man curiously.
<Seraphna> * Tabetha nods, "His mind did that thing where he made an effort to move around a thought."
<DeathStar> <Man> I'm a Ninth Circle Member .. I have access to older Ninth projects if they interest me
<DeathStar> <Man> And we made the moron over there President
<DeathStar> <Man> And the shifter there a Weapon look alike
<ChadWinters> Well you have three weapons in front of you right now. Care to elaborate on what you know?
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *moves listlessly around the base* "...are they done yet?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You know Chad, he's slow.
<DeathStar> <Man> Well, the Ninth Circle was interested in future weapons of mass destruction we might could control.
<DeathStar> <Man> So we helped fund Cran
<DeathStar> <Man> And got out of him the Weapons and Dragoons.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Annoying.
<DeathStar> <Man> The first Weapon was Chad with Cran's DNA. He loved doing that.
<DeathStar> <Man> But it was not really viable to raise weapons from a young age like that and have them ready
<DeathStar> <Man> So we secured children and had the Weapon powers grafted onto them. Ripple, Dias, X, and so many more. Took many years but not as long as if you had to just go from a test tube baby
<DeathStar> <Man> I'm sure somewhere in our files we had your real families
<DeathStar> *he eyes Dias* You were the most uncontrollable after a bit and had to be wiped and sealed.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias punches the air
<Seraphna> Angela> **ughs, remembering that she literally had a hand in unsealing Dias**
<DeathStar> *X seems to be blank*
<DeathStar> <Man> The Dragoons were a blessing.
<DeathStar> <Man> But there you go.
<DeathStar> <Man> Fascinating what you can find
* Ariel has joined #TAW-Session378
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> Congratulations Dias, you were too stupid to manipulate.
<DeathStar> *X storms out*
<Seraphna> **Tabetha rubs her head a little**
<ChadWinters> 6Dias yawns. 1"Too strong you mean.
<Seraphna> Angela> I remember when he couldn't read.
<ChadWinters> Interesting. You did miss the precursor weapon but. That about tracks with what I found.
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's what happens if you wipe someone clean
<DeathStar> <Man> I just read what was in the files
<DeathStar> *Darien and Zephyr have joined the group*
<Xanatos> <Kane> So your group has had a hand in earthly affairs for generations now. We knew as much but to hear it so plainly explained is...troublesome.
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> ...Right. Strong.
<DeathStar> <Man> And there will be members after me
<DeathStar> <Wyrd> Are we done with this person? We know we need to find another member now
<ChadWinters> <Dias> I think he offered himself up as bait!
<DeathStar> *she holds up her scythe*
<DeathStar> <Man> Wait? What?
<ChadWinters> I agree with Wyrd. He's useless to us now.
<DeathStar> *He eyes them all, paling gain*
<Seraphna> Truth> Yes... we can use him as bait.
<DeathStar> <Man> ....
<Seraphna> Truth> Or do we just wipe him clean and leave him on a road somewhere?
<Stretch`cell> *Damian settles in to a seat* I could turn him into a vegetable for the foreseeable future to make sure he doesn't pose a risk.
<Xanatos> <Kane> He was forthright about much of his information. He will hold him until we can right the wrongs and then he will be imprisoned.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane eyes them all.
* ChadWinters pushes off the wall he was on and moves out. 1"They'll either rescue him and kill him, or just kill him outright in fear that he's told us information."
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Vegetables are boring, what if I made him into a puppy?
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *from outside* "Are you done in there yet?! Do I have to get the mop?!"
<Stretch`cell> Damian> Yet my way leaves him with no permanent psychological damage.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Awww...
<Xanatos> <Kane> ...I believe that's enough. Everyone out.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I have decided this group is more blood thirsty then me or Warren ever were
<DeathStar> *the man has passed out*
<Seraphna> Angela> Pfft, Tabetha's just fucking with him.
* ChadWinters glance at Darien as he walks out. 1"I prefer calculating."
<Seraphna> *Tabetha smiles sweetly and moves out.*
<DeathStar> *Spirit sits up and is eying them. The shapeshifter peers at them, pouting and tugging at her collar, looking like she no longer trusts this insane group*
<DeathStar> *especially after hearing Dias for 5 hours*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Aww he passed out. 6He sighs and bounces towards Spirit, holding a hand up. 1"High Five of justice?!"
<Seraphna> *Truth moves over to check on Spirit.*
<DeathStar> *The shapeshifter Spirit eyes Dias, deadpanned*
<Seraphna> **Truth blinks and looks to Dias. "Perhaps not. You."
<Stretch`cell> *Damian shrugs and moves back towards where medical has been set up* Wait...I'm being classified as bloodthirsty?
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "So you didn't kill him? Because seriously, you guys were starting to worry me..."
<ChadWinters> <Dias> It was superheros do!"
<ChadWinters> *It's what*
<DeathStar> <Spirit> They ... do?
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Of course. I've spent 30 years perfecting being a superhero.
<DeathStar> *Darien eyes the shapeshifter* What are we going to do with her? The real Spirit is not going to be happy when she learns about this
<DeathStar> <Spirit> ... do I get my dog if I high five?
* ZI1` has joined #TAW-Session378
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Ah we have duplicate people all the time. We've had worse people end up on the side of good.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias reaches behind his back and pulls out a collar, moving to put it around Truth's neck
<Xanatos> 6* Kane moves the man to his proper cell and leaves food before returning back to the main room.
<DeathStar> *Spirit beams at the idea and high fives if Truth is going to be her dog*
<Seraphna> **Truth forms a blade that's tip forms pointing directly at his throat.**
<DeathStar> <Wyrd> ... I am do going to kill her
* ChadWinters glances at Kane. 1"Atleast we confirmed there's only two other members."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Have we? He only knows two other members in his circle
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Need to get out of this place..." *heads back to the bunk rooms*
<DeathStar> <Darien> What is there are 100 Circls on the Moon
<ChadWinters> <Dias> So quick to violence. 6He tosses the collar behind his back and looks at Spirit. 1"I'll find you a puppy.
<DeathStar> *Spirit nods - completely believing Dias.*
<Seraphna> **Truth retracts the blade** Do not fail her. And next time it won't be at your neck.
<ChadWinters> Have to start somewhere Darien. We go for the remaining two.
* Ariel has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 190 seconds)
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<ChadWinters> 6Dias eyes Truth oddly then looks at Spirit. 1"That one is always so violent."
<DeathStar> Date: 10-639.5.19
<DeathStar> Location: Moon Base
<DeathStar> 6* Warren works at the computer with the files, trying to get into the main system not only for the encrypted files but to see if he can find the two Circle Members hiding. Spirit peers over the computer as far as she can with her chain and collar
<DeathStar> *Lemon sips her coffee with Zephyr and Vesta with her.* <Lemon> Maybe I should have had Adeline stay. She will not let us live this down you know
<DeathStar> *X so far has no returned to the base since learning the Weapon's parents are somewhere on the Ninth Circle computers*
<Seraphna> **Truth sits down with Spirit and lays out snacks**
<Xanatos> 6* Kane glances to Lemon and nods knowingly, continuing to hack as much information as he can. If it's just one hack he has an ability to auto succeed.
<DeathStar> *Spirit nibbles*
<DeathStar> *the files finally open up*
* ChadWinters seems to work with Kane, his skills not nearly as good as they used to be but should be enough to help
<ChadWinters> 6Dias scoots along the base floor, a rag in his hands as he runs from one end to the other end of the room.
<DeathStar> *Vesta watches Dias*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *watches Dias for a few laps before finally asking* "...ok... what are you doing?"
<DeathStar> *John runs past Dias*
<DeathStar> *with a mop*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Okay we're in
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Training. I challenged John's flabby belly that he couldn't out clean me.
<DeathStar> *he begins to bring up the files*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> **secretly aids John**
<DeathStar> <John> I told Dias his monkey cleaning style is nothing compared to my Janior style
<DeathStar> *he spins the mop and runs by*
<Xanatos> <Kane> I'm looking for any information on members.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias does a circle around Reikana then zooms off again
<DeathStar> <Warren> Okay, there seems to be an audio file on the police chief's server to someone. Not sure why it wasn't deleted and was encrypted
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *covers her mouth and snickers*
<DeathStar> *John washes Reikana's boots and runs past*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Encrypted? I Guess that means we can't just play it?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Not anymore
<DeathStar> <Warren> *hits play*
<DeathStar> *Warren listens a bit* I think Christina should listen to this. She here?
<Sara> * Chris leans in curiously
<ChadWinters> If they followed Senator protocol, we should know where they're being held.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...geeee... thanks."
<DeathStar> *John thumbs up*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias pops up behind John and wipes his face then drops and zooms off again, darting past Mi'Na
<Xanatos> <Marcus> She's looming over your shoulder, so I'd say she's a little interested.
<DeathStar> *The recording begins and the chief is talking to someone* <Chief> Listen, I will put you up in a police safhouse. <Voice> One of the people hunting me is Christina Alder. <Chief> .... I'll deal with her when the time comes. Try not to hurt her with your people. OR I'll quit helping you people. <Voice> We own you. We have enough dirt on you to baury you. <Chief> .... *the call seems to end*
* ChadWinters glances back at Chris. 1"Seem's you need to pay the chief a visit.
<Sara> <Chris> Conspiracy sure sucks, huh.
<ChadWinters> Also, looks like your sister was right.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Weird that he didn't want them to hurt you...but he also wanted to deal with you himself.
<Stretch`cell> *Rea stands behind Chris calmly* Sounds like the Police Chief is trying to cover his ass and secure material against the circle.
* ChadWinters glances at Marcus. 1"I think our next move should be going after the police chief. Through him, is our next member
<Xanatos> <Kane> I will continue to search for information on the other members while you go speak with the chief.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah I agree with you both. Chris, you ready to face this guy head on?
<DeathStar> <Warren> *thrns to them* You know last time we only got into the station due to Asarar
<DeathStar> <Warren> How do you plan to get in this time?
<ChadWinters> I think she makes a call to meet her.
<Sara> <Chris> I get the feeling that "deal with her myself" is more of a way of avoiding actually hurting me. They probably feel that I "need" to be dealt with, so that's the way around it.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Still the Chief seems compliant in a lot of things
<Stretch`cell> Rea> Why go to the station when we could talk with him at his home?
<ChadWinters> He also seem's to have regret in his voice.
<DeathStar> *Warren meanwhile seems to be checking out safehouses that are in use*
<Sara> <Chris> I mean, I'm not disagreeing. I hate that the cops are conspiring with anyone to begin with. The force was more upstanding, once.
<ChadWinters> Apparently it wasn't. You just never knew.
<ChadWinters> But that's not not important right now.
<ChadWinters> *-not*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Well you all go have a chat. I'll have the safehouse location ready soon
<DeathStar> <Warren> There can't be that many in use
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "If you have a safehouse, I'll let you to Noire along."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Can you make the call, Chris, and set up a meeting spot? Out in the open in a park or something. We'll hang around the outskirts like I assume his undercover officers will do.
<ChadWinters> Kane can hook you up with a secure line
<Sara> * Chris rubs her temples
<Sara> <Chris> I mean, I can try, but what are you guys expecting to come from it that we didn't already learn from this?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> We need a name. Someone to track down.
<ChadWinters> More answers. 6He stands up. 1"But if you want to drag your feet about it, that's your choice then."
* ChadWinters moves off to get his stuff ready
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Shut up Chad. Ignore him, he sucks.
<Sara> <Chris> Typical Winters.
<DeathStar> *Lemon watches them*
<Sara> <Chris> But yeah, I guess I'll go try to set something up.
<Sara> * She shrugs. She's been rather indifferent lately
<DeathStar> *Darien hands her a comm*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Everyone else, get ready for a fight. But like, wear street clothes so we can blend in as park going people.
<Sara> * Chris accepts the comm, nodding quietly to Marcus as she makes the call
<DeathStar> <Warren> I am shocked you didn't just go with your instinct to ambush him at home.
<DeathStar> *he works as the call goes through* <Chief> Hello?
<Sara> <Chris> Chief.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Home would've been better. 6* He agrees absentmindedly and quietly to himself.
<DeathStar> *There's a long pause* <Chief> Christina. Are you okay?
<Sara> <Chris> I've been better. But I'd like to talk. Just not over this. These things are never secure -- you know as well as I do.
<DeathStar> <Chief> ... *He can be heard shuffling* You need to come in. Where do you want to meet?
<Stretch`cell> *Rea shakes his head absently as he heads out to get his gear ready*
<Sara> * Chris specifies an open park where families sometimes go
<DeathStar> <Chief> I will meet you there within the hour. *he hangs up*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Just enough time to set stuff up
<DeathStar> <Warren> I hope you all are ready
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I hope I don't have to re-iterate that we're doing this nonlethal.
<DeathStar> *Wyrd eyes her scythe, then Marcus, then her scythe*
<Sara> <Chris> It sounded like something was wrong on his end. Maybe he's already under some pressure, to put it nicely.
<Sara> <Chris> Maybe even had one of them right there with him.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I can do that. But I'll still hurt them in a fight. Bustah and all. *she notes.* <Darien> We're down X. She's still MIA
* ChadWinters steps up, flicking his gun to stun. 1"That or he's setting up a trap. Either way, I assumed we planned for a trap anyways.
<DeathStar> *John hops over*
<DeathStar> <John> John reporting for ass kicking
<ChadWinters> 6Dias leaps past John. 1"I can finally punch something!"
<DeathStar> *John pulls Chad close in a hug*
<DeathStar> <John> Chad
<DeathStar> <John> You are a sad sad man
<ChadWinters> That's what I keep being told. 6He eyes John
<DeathStar> <John> "I am going to go see my daughter. Wait no. It might be a trap. She is plotting against me"
<DeathStar> *he holds out his hand*
<DeathStar> <John> I will go down the street for the mail. Wait no. The mail box might be a trap
<DeathStar> <John> I think I will breathe in fresh air. Wait no. It might be a trap
<Sara> * Chris smirks
<Seraphna> Tabetha> It sounds like a scary life.
<Sara> <Chris> I mean, in his defense, this may actually be a trap, though.
<ChadWinters> It's how I remained hidden for so long. 6He shrugs, holstering his gun after checking the clip
<Sara> <Chris> But that does sound a lot like him.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Someone just come up with a plan and go..."
<DeathStar> <John> *he rests his hands behind his head* True. Even Chad is right twice a year.
<DeathStar> *John heads on out*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Ha, burn. Let's go. 6* He moves to leave.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well. John is definitely acting his old self. *he leaves*
<ChadWinters> Considering the source, about a 3 out of 10.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias punches the air as he walks with them.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Lemon will wait on stand by to do the dragon thing with Kane if things get dicy. I will monitor things here and police signals
<ChadWinters> Sounds good, Warren.
* ChadWinters moves out with the others
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> *the park seems clear except couples and kids*
<DeathStar> *The chief is waiting near a fountain, peering about*
<DeathStar> *Vesta and Zephyr walk the parameter, blending in, while Darien is on the other side with John*
* ChadWinters has taken a distant position, but one that gives him the best vantage point of his surroundings.
<Sara> * When Chris moves in, she takes a seat behind the chief, not looking directly at him. "Hey."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus is sitting under a tree with a cap over his face as he's leaned back 'napping'.
<DeathStar> *a man jogs by and two girls are playing in the park, a couple is kissing, and another man is reading a newspaper, one man is on the sidewalk, eyeing his watch and another man is talking to another about sports*
<DeathStar> <Chief> Christina. You need to let me bring you in - this bounty on you is getting high and the moon is not a big place
<ChadWinters> 6Dias seems to be distracted, eyeing something
<Seraphna> **Angela is keeping an eye out while in disguise, being a couple with Mi'Na.**
* ChadWinters glances at the man eyeing his watch, seeing if he's talking at all
<Sara> <Chris> Normally I'd be more than happy to oblige you, but I've still got stuff I need to do. I'm sure you know too well. Sun's got a goddamn army now, even.
<Stretch`cell> *Rea walks along a small trail looking around for any possible undercover police*
<kalonZombie> 6*Mi'Na wears her standard dark hair and hat disguise, also wearing sunglasses this time
<DeathStar> *the man with the watch seems to be just staring at intently, head cocked a bit*
<DeathStar> <Chief> I know. But there are people who will find her.
* ChadWinters glances over at the two talking, studying them a bit, having made a note on the watch one
<Sara> <Chris> They don't even know what they're up against, Chief. No matter who solves it, the truth's gonna come to light soon. Please be on the right side when it does. All I really need is info. A name, even. Anything.
<DeathStar> *they seem to be talking about the game and shifting place, even if it looks uncomfortable*
<Sara> <Chris> Hell, we can protect you, if you're being coerced...
<ChadWinters> 6Dias plops onto the grass, looking more bored as he closes his eyes.
<DeathStar> *The man rubs his eyes* Goddammit Chris. *The man paces* These people dig into your lives and find out stuff you don't want found out or threaten things if they can't. Your father though he was the type of man who wouldn't back down and they silenced him. I put you on that other team thinking maybe they could help move up a bit but I'm beginning to think that's not possibl
<DeathStar> <Chief> But if you want to risk it the man who threatend me is that the safehouse on this street. *he holds out a paperslip*
<Sara> * Chris takes it slowly. "So it *is* coercion. Damn. Blink twice if we're in danger right now."
<DeathStar> *the Chief shakes his head* I don't think so. But if I let you go, they'll know. The cameras in the area will show that. I picked cops I think are clean but you never know
<DeathStar> <Chief> They're more paranoid than ever
<Sara> <Chris> Then I'll go with you, but as I do, I'm going to pass this note off, okay?
<Sara> * She glances over at whoever's closest out of the team
<DeathStar> *He nods and takes out his gun without aiming it, keeping it at his side, moving to escort Chris. The two cops talking stop and begin to move into position and watch boy stops looking*
<DeathStar> *the Chief begins to walk toward a van*
<DeathStar> *Warren on comms* Looks like she got a paper and is not being taken to the police van
<Sara> * Chris puts her hands behind her back and keeps herself in a typical unthreatening criminal-being-escorted position. If one of the others comes close she'll subtly pass the note to them
* ChadWinters watches this, his hand slowly reaching for his pocket, but stops, eyeing her body language. 1"I think she's letting herself get taken."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus slowly pulls his hat upward, giving a big yawn.
<DeathStar> <Wyrd> One moment
<DeathStar> *she dives into the shdows*
<DeathStar> *and rises up behind Chris and grabs the notes and dives back in*
<Stretch`cell> *Rea crinks his neck to the side, watching from the trail near the park entrance*
<Seraphna> **Angela watches quietly, Truth smiling at Wyrd**
<Sara> * Chris, satisfied, tries not to give any signs that anything happened as she's escorted away
<kalonZombie> 6*Mi'Na sips at a mug nonchalantly, using the bond to watch through Angela's eyes
<DeathStar> *The Chief pauses, glancing behind thinking he saw something then gets her into the van. He pauses and tells theo ther cops to esort the van*
<DeathStar> <Officer 1> You .. sure, Chief? One of us should.... <Chief> I know what I'm doing
<Stretch`cell> *Rea continues down the trail, letting them go*
<DeathStar> *he makes a show of handcuffing Chris inside and begins to pull out*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus gets to his feet now and crosses his arms.
<DeathStar> <Darien> So you think we'll see ther again
<DeathStar> *He steps out*
<DeathStar> *Wyrd hands Marcus the note*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> We'll go bust her out. 6* He takes the note and peers at it.
<Seraphna> <Angela> Dunno, how many trackers did you slip into her food Chad?
* ChadWinters taps his ear. 1"None. My supply ran out awhile ago."
<DeathStar> *Wyrd and Vesta make a face at Chad*
<DeathStar> *John peers at a rooftop*
<DeathStar> <John> ...
<ChadWinters> 6Dias flips on to his feet, glancing over at John then where he's looking.
<DeathStar> *there seems to be possiblely a small girlish figure peering down at them, staring at the note. The figure then poofs away*
<DeathStar> *the Chief drives the van some ways into an alley and stops the van* Okay. Hit me as hard as you can. *he uncuffs her* Maybe it look good
<ChadWinters> 6Dias moves to the others, nudging Marcus. 1"Someone was watching us."
* Ariel has joined #TAW-Session378
<ChadWinters> What's the note say? 6He moves to join the others.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh yeah? Probably a shapeshifter so they may be on alert. This looks like an address, hopefully a location of the next person. So let's start heading that way.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> I don't know if it was a shapeshifter. This one poofed.
* ChadWinters glances at Dias then Marcus. 1"We should move quick then."
<Sara> <Chris> Heh, so we're doing this, huh? Fine. I'm so sorry, Chief. It's gonna suck for both of us. *she goes for a gut punch rather than a face punch, but she uses her Dealbreaker as part of it.* [Chris releases excess kinetic energy from her body, pushing a target away forcefully.]
<DeathStar> *the chief falls over, groaning*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *walks over, in disguise while stifling a yawn* "We doing something finally?"
* ZI1` has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 198 seconds)
<DeathStar> <John> Yes. We're taking on poofing enemies and the next Circler
<Xanatos> <Marcus> And don't forget breaking Chris out of jail. * He turns to move for the new location.
<Sara> * Chris unlocks the car doors. "I know this isn't easy. I promise to help you as soon as I can. Just please don't go dying on me." She gets out and books it.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Wait, what poofing enemies?"
<DeathStar> <John> A girlish figure stared at my body and then pofed
<DeathStar> <John> The enemies want me
<DeathStar> *is he slipping again - or is this just peak John?*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> That's weird. That's not what I sensed from her.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Could it have been Sunny's new BFF?"
<Seraphna> Tabetha> <You are double claimed.>
<DeathStar> <John> You ruin a man's dreams, luv
<DeathStar> <Darien> IF that's the case let us hurry
<DeathStar> -Final Scene-
<DeathStar> *Zayne poofs before Sunny, then recites the address to her* The next target. Also I been observing them lately and I might know where their base is at
<DeathStar> *referring to the hero's team*
<Sara> <Sunny> Their base? Now THAT is interesting. *she smiles with closed lips*
<DeathStar> <Zayne> Yes. They are not subtle
<DeathStar> <Zayne> They are heading to the target's address not but I think I am a bit faster.
<DeathStar> *now
<Sara> <Sunny> They never had a way for it. I think they like the spotlight. That's how villains are. *she looks over her shoulder as she ponders* I don't think they will have a good time, then, do you? *she beams*
<DeathStar> <Zayne> No. *she smiles a bit like Sunny, though in her own fashion* I do not think they will. *she uses her maka wand to bring her and Sunny before all the convicts they rescued - a huge amount of them, around 50 at least*
<DeathStar> <Zayne> Not at all
<DeathStar> -END-
* Sara has left #TAW-Session378
