The Duality Wars: The Alien Wars 6

Session 8

<DeathStar> Date: 4.8.5990 CE
<DeathStar> Location: Club (intro to follow)
<DeathStar> 6* Business has been down in the club due to the body being dragged in and word spreading, and people looking at Otto funny whenever he shows up like he is the killer. Asarar so far has not been sleeping, running scans and hoping to locate the "Candy" dealer while keeping an eye out on the police situation, but apparantly something sneaks by because Posco enters the club smugly during the mid-day, despite the fact it's always dark, when there's less business, looking around. A few of the patrons move to leave, another hit against their business no doubt. The singer on stage does her best to keep going. Barry taps something under the counter to alert Asarar and those up top
<DeathStar> <Pisco> Is there someone matching this description here? *he holds up a 3d image of Otto as he looked when the body was found* We have some..questions for him and you all about a killing
<DeathStar> 6* He grins smugly, like he wants to go after them
<kalonZombe> 6*Max looks over, having been drinking less the last couple of days
<AquaKoala> *Otto looks over down the bar, wearing a new skin by now
<Tabetha> * Luci peers up at the signal and moves over to Asarar, sighing a little.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar leans back, tapping her fingers down. "He doesn't look happy."
<DeathStar> 6* She brings up the other case, seeing that Kyle has brought in the evidence and taken the case from Rosco
<Tabetha> Luci> You kiddin? He looks like a cat with a rat.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I have a few leads on the jewlery Otto found and maybe a lead on where the boyfriend is, but we can't get out with Rosco down there.
<DeathStar> 6* Barry takes a look. "He is a patron here, yes."
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "He's no fool. He put two and two together, and came up with payback." *leans over Asarar's shoulder and eyes the security screen*
<DeathStar> <Posco> Is he here now? <Barry> I do not think so. <Posco> Well, some good citizens say he brought a body into your establishment. I have a warrant to search the premise. 6* He shows something to Barry with his data-reader, then closes it down. He waves in a few other men. "Spread out. Everyone, the place is shut down for now."
<AquaKoala> Otto> I've seen him spraying that truth shit about
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar leans back. "This keeps up we're going to get a reputation." 6* Posco moves over to Barry, getting a drink. "That so? And does he hang out with Wolfe?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> What the fuck is Otto doing
<Tabetha> Luci> "...He's ordering a search on the club."
<Tabetha> Luci> "Well he's in a different face right now."
<kalonZombe> 6*Max makes a face, at the bar but there's nothing he can really do.
<kalonZombe> 6*So he gets up. Slowly. And walks to the door. Slowly.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Yeah, but he's been seen here a lot and was seen coming into the building with that body. Now he's tying us to the truth
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *rubs her gloves together*
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Where did he stick that dead hooker?"
<AquaKoala> *The dead hooker has been long since disposed of by Otto, having had 2 days (if the dates are right)
<DeathStar> 6* Note quite 2.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> The question is blood splatter and other things their sophisicated scanners can detect
<Tabetha> Luci> "All they can prove is someone bled a lot, and that was in the street outside."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> He took the body to the basement level for dissection
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Lets hope the phiglets are good at clean u
<DeathStar> 6* The police move around, tearing up things on purpose in their search. Rosco moves to Wolfe's room to "Check up" on him
<kalonZombe> 6*Max hangs out just outside the perimiter, tapping his foot
<Tabetha> * Luci grumbles. "These assholes are really costing us business. We need to get them off our backs."
<DeathStar> 6* Of course since the top 5 floors do not exist on the thing, he goes to his fake room in the hotel
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "The problem is that they are going to look around until they find something suspicious. If this guy is as butthurt as I think, that could mean planting evidence."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> If they find nothing, they will go. We moved the other case to Kyle.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Question is if Kyle will show up to ask us more questions
<Tabetha> Luci> "We could see if anyone is outside and to try and cut him off if he gets close."
<AquaKoala> *Otto stays at the bar, drinking a soda
<DeathStar> 6* A few police officers approach the medical room setu p, where Ricci is trying to get out, bored. She is climbing around
<Tabetha> Luci> "Erm... what about Riki?"
<DeathStar> 6* One police officer jots notes about the Truth group, Enlightenment, and the killer being tied it to in his report
<DeathStar> <Asarar> REmind me to hack that report later.
<Tabetha> Luci> "Okay." *she frowns*
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *with a flat expression, puts up a post-it note about the report on Asarar's console*
<DeathStar> 6* The officer pokes his head into the doctor officer, and Posco takes out a pouch, trying to break into Wolfe's room, finding the lock more difficult than he thought; in his pocket is something
<DeathStar> <Asarar> He's trying to break into Wolfe'ssecondary room
<Tabetha> * Luci nods to one screen. "He's also going to plant something in it."
<Tabetha> * Luci points to the pocket.
<kalonZombe> 6*Max basically says screw it and tries to head back in
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Of course, not knowing how the killing happened, can't imagine what. 6* She zooms in, seeing a knife
<Tabetha> Luci> "Unless he has something he can claim is the weapon. Like that."
<DeathStar> 6* A police officer eyes Max. "Can I help you?"
<Tabetha> * Luci peers at the external monitors. "Max... don't do anything stupid..."
<DeathStar> 6* Rosio huffs and tries to slide the knife under the door
<kalonZombe> <Max> ... No. I suppose not. 6*He huffs and heads back to where he was standing before
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Now that's just sad."
<Tabetha> * Luci looks back. "...We're recording this right?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Yeah. But this is sophiscated stuff and they will want to know where out computer banks are.
<Myaomi> <Ylva> Master... why is the place closed?
<Tabetha> Luci> "Make a secondary bank."
<Tabetha> Luci> "With routing only for the cameras on the lower floors."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar shows Ylva on the screen, then sends a cleaning maid to where Rosio is struggling to interrupt him
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Mmmm... have a home address for this guy?" *taps the screen with Rosio*
<DeathStar> 6* The officer in the doctor's office chats with Riki, Riki gesturing wildly
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar brings it up on a second screen
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Got it when we did the report on him.
<Tabetha> Luci> "Erm... what's Riki telling them?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I do not have it set up to listen in yet
<Tabetha> Luci> "Let's hope she knows better than to tell them something inconvenient."
<DeathStar> 6* After an hour of harrassment, and Rusco getting run off, the cops leave - with damages around 200 coins
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar calls everyone up to the top floor, tappnig her chin with her gloved right hand
<Tabetha> * Luci rubs her forehead. "These guys are going to cost us even more in lost business than the damages..."
<kalonZombe> 6*Max moves back in, eyeing the cops and heads up
<AquaKoala> *Otto wanders in
<Myaomi> 6Ylva goes to talk to Riki
<AquaKoala> Otto> The person I was pretending to be was involved with the Truth before anyone asks, they'd find out anyways.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So you're saying we were seen with someone with you?
<DeathStar> *like that
<kalonZombe> <Max> Well that hour sucked.
<Tabetha> Luci> "Luckily Kyle didn't show up."
<AquaKoala> Otto> He was wannabe at best, it shouldn't come back on us.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Still, I should look into the Truth more - since so many Tech-Runnersl ive by it and whatnot. Enlightenment and Seekers. Hrm
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "These guys will make it come back on us if they want it bad enough. They tried to plant something in Wolfe's not-room."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Anyway, I got leads. We should get moving while we have daylight hours - Quad 2 is where that void jewlery came from
<kalonZombe> 6*Max nods
<Tabetha> * Luci nods and adjusts her coat, having gotten ready in case something went bad.
<Tabetha> Luci> "Do we know what Riki told them, anyway?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Also, Quad 7 I think is where our boy is living.
<kalonZombe> 6*Max moves for his room to get ready
<AquaKoala> Otto> It seems to be a fanatic, boid jewelry and void symbols carved inside of the body
<DeathStar> 6* Riki looks at Ylva, waving
<DeathStar> <Riki> Hiii
<DeathStar> 6* She is dressed in her waitress outfit
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar adjusts her clothing, preparing to go to the Nue Age quad first
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Know anything else about our guy?"
<Myaomi> <Ylva> Are you okay, Riki?
<kalonZombe> 6*Max moves back
<AquaKoala> Otto> Knows some surgery, is smart enough to remove a heart at least
<DeathStar> <Riki> Yes!
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Not yet. I hope to learn more
<Myaomi> <Ylva> What was that man asking you of?
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar nods to Otto, moving for the elevator, going out the normal way due to the cops
<Tabetha> * Luci follows her, adjusting her long coat, hood up.
<AquaKoala> *Otto moves to the elevator as well
<DeathStar> <Riki> If I was hurt by Wolfe, I said killer wanted heart and people here in club saved me before he killed me. You all nice. Even got doctor. Riki bad fauna and wandered too far from club without anyone to protect her
<kalonZombe> 6*Max follows, wearing a trench coat
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *pulls a coat on over her catsuit and then heads to the elevator*
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar hits the bottom floor once people are on, riding down in style
<Tabetha> * LUci is saddened by the loss of view of Kira Li's rear in a cat suit but strides onwards.
<Myaomi> <Ylva> You are not bad, Riki... we would be really sad if something happened to you..
<DeathStar> 6* Riki smiles and hugs
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar steps out and moves along for the monorails
<AquaKoala> *Otto follows, carrying his breifcase
<DeathStar> 6* she spots a cop car spying on them, and waves down a hover car taxi van and climbs in
<DeathStar> 6* She taps her datareader. "Ylva, you are about to be left behind."
<Tabetha> * Luci gets in as well, scowling a bit once she's inside.
<Myaomi> 6Ylva lets Asarar know what was talked about with Riki
<kalonZombe> 6*Max gets in and sits next to Luci
<AquaKoala> *Otto climbs in
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar hands the taxi driver coins for them all to take them to the monorail and lose any tails, telling them they are worried after the death the other day
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *climbs into the cab*
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar acknowledges Ylva as she leans back, musing, telling the others
<Tabetha> Luci> *shakes her head and sighs*
<DeathStar> 6* The cab takes off
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar leans back as they rise up higher and the cop car seems to debate following then stays, waiting on Wolfe no doubt
<kalonZombe> <Max> Looks like they gave up.
<kalonZombe> <Max> We should keep going another couple blocks just in case.
<DeathStar> 6* Soon they arrive at the monorail, a massive system that travels around the quads for free. Asarar gets out, glad they don't have to walk up the huge steps from the ground level, since the monorail system is up high
<kalonZombe> 6*Max gets out
<Tabetha> * Luci gets out and stretches.
<DeathStar> 6* Climbing inside, the seats look worn out, being the slums monorail and graffiti everywhere. There are people all over it, obviously from other quads - some look to be from the Asian quadrant and some others.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar sits down in a seat and crosses her legs; the announcement saying they are leaving in a few minutes
<kalonZombe> 6*Max gets in and stands, letting others sit, despite the fact he has to bend over a little to fit
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *sits down as well* "Wonder if anyone is going to be stupid enough to surf the monorail today..."
<AquaKoala> *Otto sita crosslegged
<Tabetha> * Luci stands, holding onto one of the hanging straps to keep steady.
<kalonZombe> <Max> When are they going to make trains for the 6' 9" man in mind?
<Tabetha> Luci> "When Giant Space Mutants take over."
<kalonZombe> <Max> I welcome their hostile, yet tall-person friendly, tyranny with open arms.
<DeathStar> 6* The doors close and begin moving, speeding at high speeds, moving across the great terrain of the quad
<DeathStar> 6* They slow down after 2 minutes and an announcement of the energy checkpoint for a new quad is heard. They begin to cross a barrier and everyone's datareaders are scanned to make sure they are legit and who they say they are.
<DeathStar> 6* One person's flashes red and the monorail when it stops at the next station in Quad 6, is hauled out by Corporate Security and handcuffed, never to be seen again likely. Other passengers get out since it's their stop, then the Monorail begins again, speeding along
<Tabetha> Luci> *shakes her head* "Who tries that?"
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar glances at her's, then ahead.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *reaches into her coat and pulls out mirrored shade and slips them on* "Plenty of people."
<kalonZombe> <Max> You'd be surprised.
<DeathStar> 6* After a few more stops, they reach Quad 2. As they step off, one thing immensely different is the fact they can see the blue sky overhead, and there are tons of billboards with clothes, and hovercars are flying freely up to the middle class level, after they are cleared through the checkpoint barrier between middle and slums between levels
<Tabetha> Luci> "It just amazes me to this day."
<DeathStar> 6* People move around, mixed ethinicity here, with stylish clothes, and there are lots of shops selling jewelery and goods
<kalonZombe> 6*Max squints
<Tabetha> * Luci doesn't seem to find the setting new, almost ignoring her surroundings.
<AquaKoala> *Otto is silent, following Asarar
<DeathStar> 6* There are pictures of a Fox Fauna, with the words, "Together we can make our Quad the best. - Shiki Nueage of the Nue Age Corporation."
<kalonZombe> <Max> Actual sunlight. Gah.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar walks with her hands in her jacket, looking around - the clubbing here seems to be more joyful and partying like, and people in the slums chip together to pool coins to see if they can afford to go to the middle district to enter certain clubs, something not seen in Quad 5
<DeathStar> 6* Of course, prostituion is not here either, hence 5's draw
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Quad 6, you can see the sky too in some spots..."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar studies Skini's face. "Unusual for a fox fauna to run a corporation."
<kalonZombe> <Max> Not used to seeing it anymore. Not since my stint as living as a full tiger for a year.
<Tabetha> Luci> "It's possible it's a figurehead position..."
<kalonZombe> <Max> Maybe things work different here.
<DeathStar> 6* She studies the reading of the jewelry, moving along the slums, looking for any street shops that sell it - there are a lot of booths along the streets selling goods. Unlike the food and prostitutes on the roads of 5, it seems here people have set up road side booths with goods, encouraging people. A lot of it is clothing
<DeathStar> 6* Faunas walk around, showing off clothing and posing for pictures, telling people to come to their stores. Up ahead there is a clothing lottery to see if people can win a chance to shop big in a big store up in the middle district. People are gathered around, grabbing ticket numbers. Asarar smiles in memory
<Tabetha> Luci> "Remind me to pick up some new dresses.. I actually got most of mine from here."
<kalonZombe> <Max> Including that one from the other night? You looked really good in it
<Tabetha> Luci> "Yep."
<AquaKoala> Otto> This is where I buy my clothes as well
<kalonZombe> 6*Max grins
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I got my private clothing from the middle district for free.
<DeathStar> 6* She points at the lottery
<kalonZombe> <Max> Maybe you should get something else here...
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "I had the winning ticket."
<Tabetha> Luci> "I remember, Asa." *she grins*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Of course it is likely out of style now here in the Nue Age rush. 6* She stops at a booth selling Geyze jewelry, each spirit having their own little jewlery
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Here we go
<AquaKoala> *Otto eyes the void one
<DeathStar> 6* It looks pretty much like the one found in the body.
<Tabetha> * Luci peers it over.
<kalonZombe> 6*Max looks at it
<DeathStar> 6* Each jewlery piece looks hand-made. The old woman there looks forward. "I see you all have a good eye."
<AquaKoala> *Otto nods to Asarar
<DeathStar> <Woman> Would you like to buy my pieces?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> They are well made - you did them yourself? <Woman> Yes, they are designed after the Spirits' symbols on Geyze. I merely turned them into these pieces.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar muses - if this woman is right and only she makes them then the killer had to buy from her
<Tabetha> Luci> "Oh? You make them yourself?" *she puts on her excited teenage girl persona*
<DeathStar> <Woman> Yes, dear.
<DeathStar> 6* She pats Luci like she is slow
<kalonZombe> <Max> ...Do you want one Luci?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Do they sell well?
<DeathStar> <Woman> So-so. I got a big order a week ago
<Tabetha> * Luci muses, taking a close look at one. "A bracelet."
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *glances over when the lady says that, though her eyes are still covered*
<kalonZombe> 6*Max hands the credits over for the one Luci's looking at
<DeathStar> 6* The woman gives her a Wind Spirit bracelet, the bracelet showing the wind blowing symbol
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar nods, buying the light pendant. "So one person bought a lot, that must have been nice." <Woman> Yes. Lovely dear. Wanted one of each to guide them
<DeathStar> 6* She nods, handing them each what they wanted
<Tabetha> * Luci grins and puts it on. "Cewl."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar moves to go on, hands in her pockets as she debates that
<DeathStar> 6* Looking around - someone up ahead has won the clothing lottery, a small little Aurit who dances, tails waving
<Tabetha> * Luci looks over curiously.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "...question. Are there that many Geyze spirit types in Kumen?"
<DeathStar> <Woman> I'm not sure I understand, dear.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar scans for cameras, not spotting any
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar moves for the monorail, letting the others catch up when they are done with the vendor
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Most people who would buy these charms probably think they are cute, right? No appreciation for the symbolism. The person with the bulk order specifically wnated guidance, right?"
<DeathStar> <Woman> Yes, many are like your friends there. This deary wanted it because of the symbolism
<DeathStar> 6* She nods
<DeathStar> <Woman> I liked that
<DeathStar> 6* She waves her robotic arm. "More people today should respect Geyze."
<Tabetha> * Luci walks along with Asarar, musing a bit too. She looks to Asa. "She mentioned the person wanted them due to symolism."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Yes. I hoped there was a camera to get a look at their face.
<Tabetha> Luci> "Lady probably keeps records."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> A vendor like that? Doubtful
<kalonZombe> 6*Max follows them
<Tabetha> Luci> "For big orders, at least."
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "So does this person host spiritual studies or belong to a group?"
<AquaKoala> *Otto continues along with Asarar, watching the crowd
<DeathStar> <Woman> I would not know, dearie. They did not speak much. Why the interest?
<Tabetha> Luci> "We could try and leave something so that if the person comes back, we get a lead?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Maybe... But if Otto is right they might be good with their hands and can make their own now. They definitely have a hate for prostitution
<DeathStar> 6* She stands on the platform, arms crossed.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Soemtimes I kind of wonder..." *slips off her glasses* "...what does life even mean?"
<Tabetha> Luci> "Seems like a religious fanatic to me."
* Chain has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 186 seconds)
<kalonZombe> <Max> Sounds about right.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Religious... does religion still exist?
<DeathStar> 6* She muses
<DeathStar> <Woman> Oh, dearie, only the spirits and your heart can tell you that
<Tabetha> Luci> "When you have people, you have religion. It sometimes just takes on new forms."
<DeathStar> 6* She pats Kira's hand
<Tabetha> Luci> "Take the Seekers, they drool at the prospect of finding the Truth. Yet no one really knows what that is. That's religion, in a way."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar thinks on that. "I suppose I am like them in a way then."
* Chain has joined #Duality
<AquaKoala> Otto> There's is certainly religious overtones with the incident and the spirits
<Tabetha> Luci> "Perhaps. There are old stories about religious folks who searched for some sort of truth... being a seeker of something isn't bad in itself, after all."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar turns as the monorail arrives
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Lets hit the boyfriend.
* Jackieness` has joined #Duality
* Jackieness has quit IRC (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Jackieness`)))
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar enters the monorail
* Jackieness` is now known as Jackieness
<AquaKoala> *Otto walks on
<Tabetha> * Luci gets on and takes another standing position.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "So what was this person like? What did the spirits tell them?" *rp*
<DeathStar> <Woman> I do not know what the spirits told them, that is private between each person. But they seemed to be looking for something, enlightment, and in pain
<kalonZombe> 6*Max gets in, standing as well
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Pain? What sort of pain?"
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar eyes the monorail door timer flashing down toward 0
<DeathStar> <Woman> I am not a mind reader, dearie
<Myaomi> 6Ylva bounds, rolling inside.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Hello, Ylva. Caught up?
<Myaomi> 6Ylva climbs to her feet, panting, peering over widly.
<Myaomi> <Ylva> M-- Asarar!
<Myaomi> 
<AquaKoala> *Otto eyes Ylva rolling in
<DeathStar> 6* The doors close as they begin to head for Quad 2
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Well, maybe something a little less out there." *points at a charm* "What do these symbols... spirits represent?"
<Myaomi> 6She straghtens her mantle and cap. 1"I f-found you finally."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Have you been riding monorails all this time?
<Myaomi> <Ylva> No.. I got left behind taking care of Riki.
<DeathStar> <Woman> Well, they each have different meanings. Is there one in particular you wanted to know, or you want to know them all? *her hasnds make the money motion*
<Tabetha> * Luci peers away, watching the scenery pass out the windows.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *pats her ears. A few of the people on the monorail seem to be eyeing Ylva's ass*
<kalonZombe> 6*Max grumbles and makes a note to start an online petition for taller monorail cars
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *points at the Void symbol, then rolls a coin along her knuckles*
<Myaomi> 6Ylva flusters a bit, having her ears under her cap and her tail hidden as she usually does when she's out on business.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You know the monorail is about 6'5, Max.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> And in certain cars taller
<DeathStar> 6* She motions him to just move to a new car
<kalonZombe> <Max> Still makes my neck uncomfortable.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Then sit.
<Chain> *Wolfe can be seen running
<kalonZombe> <Max> ...That would be rude for elders and women for me to take a seat.
<DeathStar> 6* As Wolfe runs along the moving monorail, he falls and slides along comically
<Tabetha> * Lisa snerks.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Or you can pull a Wolfe
<kalonZombe> <Max> Huh?
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar offers a hand
<kalonZombe> 6*He looks and grins, waving
<AquaKoala> *Otto deadpans at Wolfe
<DeathStar> <Woman> The void means blankness, no emotions. Or it can also mean the end of things. Taking away, a place of nothingness
<DeathStar> 6* They go through the checkpoints on the monorail, the sensors scanning their datareaders to make sure they are who they say they are before resuming
<DeathStar> 6* A few crooks are yanked off at the checkpoints into custody
<Chain> *Wolfe rights himself
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Sound like its right up the alley of someone who is in pain."
<Myaomi> 6Ylva sits calmly by Asarar, listening to headphones.
<kalonZombe> <Max> So is it like a car thing and you just had to chase it?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Hem ight have been in another cart and saw us - but the speed of these things and disrepair, running is dangerous
<DeathStar> 6* They finally stop in Quad 7
<Tabetha> * Luci smiles a bit.
<Chain> 6*Wolfe cracks his neck a bit and settles in
<Myaomi> <Ylva> H-Hi, Sheriff.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "...and if I were so compelled to seek out this person in pain?" *pulls out another coin*
<DeathStar> 6* As they step out, the beautiful lights of the city hit them - the slums, despite being rough, all have tall buildings with a beautiful city feel and 30% of it is opened up to the middle and top class levels, letting one see up and up, all the way, hover cars flying all the way up to the sky in areas
<kalonZombe> <Max> So Wolfe, was it like a car thing or...? 6*He jokes about the dog thing. Since... y'know... weretiger
<DeathStar> 6* the ground level, where they walk down to, looks wrecked, some broken down hovercars laying about and ground cars moving about still, and the smog down here thicker, with street lights still in use, but it seems to be a place where experimentation into Biotects, Spirit Fossils, and magik is at play
<Tabetha> Luci> "Down kitty.":
<Chain> <Wolfe> I'll let you know when youre done coughing hair balls after a round of shots
<AquaKoala> *Otto is deadpanned
<Tabetha> Luci> "And down puppy." *she smiles*
<kalonZombe> <Max> We're just joking, Luci.
<Myaomi> 6Ylva tugs on Wolfe's coat worriedly.
<DeathStar> <Woman> They didn't give an address, I am afraid, they bought my goods and left. You might try looking in Quad 5 though, they said something about going there
<DeathStar> <Woman> Poor dearie
<Tabetha> Luci> "Place seems awfully nice considering how Net-Ron is doing."
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Well...if I were to run into them, what would they look like? Just so I would know, of course..."
<DeathStar> 6* As they move along, a group of menancing men seem to be tracking someone; there device beeps once and they glance in their direction, the men wearing hi-tech Corporate outfits point at the readings, looking them over. Asarar studies them, then the leader slaps the man and shakes the device, pointing out as a female dashes and they taze her and throw a net around her
<Chain> <Wolfe> yes red?
<Chain> 6*Wolfe look looks down at Ylva
<AquaKoala> *Otto raises an eyebrow
<Tabetha> Luci> "...Oookay..."
<kalonZombe> <Max> Just ignore it Luci.
<Tabetha> Luci> *she frowns a little*
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar frowns as they walk along - building seem to be conencted high up and people walk along - the vendors seem to be selling stuff and no doubt the black market thrives here for those like Ylva who use spirit fossils for their guns and magik
<DeathStar> 6* The men carry the unconscious looking 15 year old off, nodding to each other and radioing in that they got another escapee.
<Myaomi> 6Ylva is looking over the parts subconsciously.
<AquaKoala> *Otto walks along "Biotect?"
<DeathStar> 6* The one man who eyed them turns back, eyeing his scanner once and chewing something, spitting it out
<Tabetha> Luci> "...Its slavery all the same." *she mumbles*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Maybe... But I thought they weren't hunted anymore
<Chain> 6*Wolfe keeps Ylva close
<Tabetha> Luci> "Net-Ron has been trying to make Biotects who can use magic."
<AquaKoala> Otto> Escaped from somewhere
<kalonZombe> <Max> It sucks. We can't do anything about it right now.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar is quiet, moving to a more Japanese area - modeled after the old Homeworld it claims with the styled buildings, though they look ru ndown
<Chain> 6*Wolfe seems a bit more relaxed by the sights
<DeathStar> 6* The old woman muses at Kira. "The dearie's blonde hair is cut to shoulder length, and they have green eyes that are sad. Other than that they wore clothes to cover themselves up. They weren't very tall."
<Tabetha> * Luci takes a breath and walks along.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar stops at a complex with many compounds inside and looks at the names, nodding at one and pages to get into the building, motioning at Otto to mimic a voice recording she has to trick someone to let them in
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *nods* "Its a start." *puts the coins down in front of the lady* "Take care of yourself, ok?"
<DeathStar> <Woman> No problem, dearie
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *walks away toward the monorail station and then pulls out her comm, calling Asarar*
<AquaKoala> *Otto listens to the recording
<DeathStar> 6* The complex, despite styled in the Japanese style, definitely has a tech-noir feel, and a screen shows a japanese woman with some sort of perfume
<DeathStar> 6* A tired voice. "Yeah, who is it?" 6* Asarar hit a random person, hoping they will buzz them in
<kalonZombe> <Max> Might want to ready your nose, dog. 6*He whispers to Wolfe
<Tabetha> * Luci considers continuing the joke of getting them to behave with telling them to get a room, then just starts fantasizing.
<kalonZombe> <Max> Down girl.
<Tabetha> Luci> "Mmm?"
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar pets Ylva's tail region
<DeathStar> 6* through her clothing
<kalonZombe> <Max> I see that look in your eyes.
<Myaomi> 6Ylva jumps, startled a little, blinking at her
<DeathStar> 6* The voice strains. "What is that? Down girl?"
<Tabetha> Luci> "What look?"
<DeathStar> 6* It sounds like he is barely heairng the others
<AquaKoala> *Otto mimics the recording "Inspectors, we're here to look at the safety devices"
<Tabetha> * Luci speaks quieter.
<DeathStar> <Voice> What safety device? What inspectors?
<AquaKoala> (Master Manipulator 1)
<AquaKoala> Otto> The sprinkler system, we're from the department of health and safety
<kalonZombe> 6*Max just eyes Luci
<Tabetha> * Luci does her innocent little girl routine.
<DeathStar> 6* The man buzzes them in, just mumbling. Asarar walks in
<AquaKoala> *Otto moves in
<Tabetha> * Luci hops up and moves after Asarar.
<DeathStar> 6* She moves down the hallway and stops at the boyfriend's door, motioning them to either kick it in or do it the gentle way, hands in pocket
<kalonZombe> 6*Max follows, still eyeing Luci
<Chain> 6*Wolfe sniffs a bit as he follows
<Tabetha> * Luci changes the rythmn of her step to distract Max.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *texts Asarar from the train: shoudler-lenght blonde hair, green eyes, not tall*
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar thinks a moment, then texts Kira
<AquaKoala> *Otto eyes the handle and attempts to push his hand into the lock for the door to open it
<kalonZombe> 6*Max is successfully distracted
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *texts back: they covered themselves up. Lady didn't mention gender*
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens after a bit anbd they enter; the boyfriend jerks his head up, eyes still red from crying, or drugs, plants all around him, likely from Geyze. He dives for a gun blaster, recognizing Ylva and Asarar as Riki friends
<Chain> 6*Wolfe lunches for him
<Myaomi> <Ylva> Ah!
<AquaKoala> *Otto snakes out a hand for the blaster quickly
<kalonZombe> 6*Max lets Wolfe handle this for now
<Tabetha> * Lisa frowns a bit, readying her shield
<Myaomi> 6Ylva draws her pistol and fires into the ground, creating a wall of crystal between him and his blaster-- normally it's a barrier!
<Chain> <Wolfe> I'm really NOT in the mood for this
<DeathStar> 6* The man squeals as he's grabbed and the gun cut off
<DeathStar> <Boyfriend> I-If you plan to kill me g-go ahead, I have nothing to live for without her
<Tabetha> Lisa> "Let's not do anything moronic please."
<DeathStar> 6* He bawls pathetically, snot running down his nose
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar shuts the door behind her quietly
<kalonZombe> <Max> We're not gonna kill you.
<AquaKoala> *Otto searches the room silently, taking apart the blaster quickly
<Chain> 6*Wolfe sighs, using Shaggy dog to get him to settle down
<DeathStar> 6* There seems be three types of plants in here from Geyze, that all smell potent in their own way, but not dangerously so
<DeathStar> 6* As well as a vat of chemicals to make sweet
<DeathStar> <Man> W-What do you want....
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar sits down. "We want to know if you know anything about the killer, and why your girlfriend was killed, and what you were up to."
<DeathStar> 6* The man nods, calming down as he sits down, rubbing his grubby suit
<DeathStar> <Man> Yeah.... okay....sure.. 6* He grabs an injector with drugs to calm down, his hand shaking
<Tabetha> * Luci grumbles and turns away.
<kalonZombe> 6*Max just leans against a wall, looking bored
<DeathStar> 6* The man gives himself a shot. "We were just...trying to introduce a new thing on the market that was harmless...get out of the old life... So my baby didn't have to do tricks anymore for them pimps."
<DeathStar> <Man> Living in this area, I managed...to get some of the plant samples they brought back and on accident found that combining a few make you feel good, but tasted retched, so I thought of making it a candy. No bad effects, all the relaxation. But needed to hand it out to make sure it was good
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *steps off the train in Quad 7, slipping her shades back on*
<Tabetha> Luci> "Were you aware it puts Fauna into heat?"
<Myaomi> <Ylva> Th-This is the man..?
<Myaomi> 6Ylve tenses and grits her teeth, her tail coming out from being hidden under her skirt, puffed and standing on end, reaching for her pistol again
<DeathStar> 6* He looks shakey as he talks. "I began...to get an idea...after the one in your place got really...rubby.... and a few others...but it didn't seem to hurt them." 6* He notes. "Things were...going good except a few weeks ago a few pimps began to get in our operation and well..there was a shoot out. They used a few prostitutes as shield and I had to defend my girl. And well..." 6* He eyes Ylva and panics, then suddenly groans, grabbing at his chjest
<Chain> 6*Wolfe puts his hand on Ylva's shoulder
<DeathStar> <Man> W-What is wrong with.... 6* He foams at the mouth, clinging at his heart area and falls over, spazzing
<Chain> <Wolfe> Red. thats enough
<Myaomi> <Ylva> But Riki...
<Myaomi> <Ylva> Ah!
<Myaomi> 6She startles, peering at the man foaming
<Tabetha> * Lisa blinks and moves over, frowning. "Did he OD?"
<Chain> 6*Wolfe crams a belt into his mouth
<Chain> 6*and rolls him onto his side
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar jerks up and moves over, quickly checking for a pulse. "It's no good Wolfe. This man's heart is exploding in his chest."
<Tabetha> Luci> "H-How do we stop it?"
<kalonZombe> <Max> We don't.
<Myaomi> 6Ylva pauses, then aims her pistol at him
<Chain> <Wolfe> you need to flush it out
<Myaomi> <Ylva> Move!
<Tabetha> Luci> *blinks and shifts out of the way* "What're you..."
<DeathStar> 6* She eyes the injector, popping it open and sniffs it. She shakes her head, then nods to Ylva
<DeathStar> <Asarar> She's a healer
<Chain> 6*Wolfe moves aside
<Myaomi> 6Ylva fires one of her bullets, creating a field around the man-- Esoteric Aspect; Stasis.
<Myaomi> <Ylva> Buying time!
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar tries to scan the contents of the container, while Wolfe would notice as he moved her, the man is wearing the fire symbol
<Chain> 6*Wolfe studies it
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I don't know what poison was used. I can't even begin to detect it.
<AquaKoala> *Otto eyes this and starts to wipe away fingerprints carefully
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I think we should get it back to our doctor
<Tabetha> Luci> "How long does he have like this?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> IF we carry him like this to our place, we'll get nailed for sure
<Myaomi> <Ylva> I-It depends on me.
<Myaomi> <Ylva> But quick..
<DeathStar> <Asarar> And we have nothing here to heal him or flush him with an unknown poison
<Chain> <Wolfe> I'll handle taking him back
<Chain> <Wolfe> with someone like me they'll think he's drunk or I'm taking him in
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You go onto the monorail with him, you will get recorded and be arrested
<DeathStar> <Asarar> His heart has to be outrageous
<Tabetha> Luci> "THey're already watching you."
<Tabetha> * Luci frowns. "Why was there poison here...? Did he... on purpose?"
<Myaomi> 6Ylva clings to Wolfe, focusing on keeping her effect in place.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar shakes her head. "I think his stuff was laced."
<kalonZombe> <Max> He did say he can't live without her.
<kalonZombe> <Max> Or maybe it was laced.
<Chain> <Wolfe> if he was going to kill himself we would have found him dead already
<Chain> <Wolfe> and we dont have a lot of options before he dies
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar paces. "I'll bring the doctor here. You hold onto him, Ylva."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar contacts their doctor, hoping he can arrive before time runs out
<Tabetha> Luci> "I'm not sure my trauma kit will help with this, it's normally for more mortal wounds."
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* After many hours, the doctor moves the man to his clinic in Quad 5 to watch, and when they arrive back at the club, the officers still there watching for Wolfe, jerking at him coming back without them noticing, they hear on their datapads another prostitute is dead, heart removed and this time the water symbol; the age of the prostitute being 13.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar walks into the bar, in a bad mood, business still declined from this morning. She moves for the elevator to see where the location of the second one was at.
<Tabetha> * Luci grumbles. She moves for the elevator as well.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *rejoined the others when they went back to the station; she steps on to the elevator*
<kalonZombe> 6*Max moves for the elevator as well
<DeathStar> <Asarar> What he was saying before the laced thing. Something about prostitutes as shields due to a group of pimps, something about a drug deal gone wrong
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Since nothing minor gets recorded doubt we'll learn when or what that was
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Unless he pulls through
<Chain> 6*Wolfe changes to thicker outdoor clothes, intending to stay out it seems for the night
<DeathStar> 6* She refers to the man being in a coma
<Tabetha> Luci> "Seems like someone meant him to be out of the way then."
<kalonZombe> <Max> Sounds like it.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Could ask about the slums. Rumors could have spread."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Lets assume that was the ground zero for the killing. His girl gets hit, then him, then another woman. If we can find a link between the two women, and him, we might can figure out what the incident was. 6* She moves and inputs the name she heard and where. It's a dirty, corrupt club a few doors down. It's already marked surprisingly on her computer due to supposed ties to Tiger
<DeathStar> 6* Not founded yet
<Tabetha> Luci> "Who was her pimp?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So a few blocks down another one
<DeathStar> <Asarar> The club itself I would assume - she was a sex worker
<DeathStar> <Asarar> It was one of those. For the time being, our VIP girls do not go out
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar makes a mental note
<kalonZombe> <Max> Not even with protection?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> The killer may be going after a certain group but we saw them hit Riki too
<Myaomi> 6Ylva dozes on Asarar's couch after prolonging her spell effect beyond normal.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "With her in heat, hthe kille rmay have mistaken her for a prostitute too."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> No, our bouncers might not be able to handle this.
<Tabetha> Luci> "Better not take the risk."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Lets assume that a certain group of prostitutes are being hit, any may do too
<Chain> 6*Wolfe pats Ylva's head before moving to head out
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'll run checks tosee if I can tie these women while I wait on our boy to wake. For now, business as usual. And keep an eye on Rosio while Kyle closes Wolfe's case in our favor
<DeathStar> -End-
<DeathStar> Hate to end it so abruptly but stomach
