Quote 7801
<Mary_jane`^> "No, I want to know, tell me. You're always silly."
<AlcarGM> Anne: "Oh, gee, thanks. And it was just things when I was younger. Odd dreams, nightmares, stuff like that. Nothing important, really. I just had an over active imagination. I even started seeing little people, like fairies, and auras. New age nonsense like that."
<Mary_jane`^> "Oh. And they gave you pills for that?"
<AlcarGM> Anne nods.
<Mary_jane`^> "Wow, sounds pretty serious. Nah, I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. What makes you think it's happening again?"
<AlcarGM> Anne: " I don't know. Just, for a moment, I looked at you and didn't reecognize you at all. There was a sword, and blood, and you were stabbing someone..." she shakes her head. 'Silly."
* Mary_jane`^ eats her ice cream and drops her shield "Really?"
<Mary_jane`^> (( You're evil MJ... ))
<AlcarGM> (( LOL! ))
Quote 7802
<alcar> Jar jar rocked!
<alcar> And I liked the ewoks.
* Eltanan shoots alcar
<alcar> You must have to look at it as a kid woiuld and let your inner child out.
<alcar> Stop starving it you meanie!
<Eltanan> My inner child was molested and killed when I was eleven.
<alcar> Excuses, excuses.
<alcar> mind you, I liked Jar jar causing the republic to fail .... darth binks would just be fun.
<alcar> things like that are why I can never run a star wars rpg :)
<Kantizuni> ew
<Eltanan> that is correct.
<Eltanan> that is exactly why you can't run a star wars rpg. :)
<alcar> but the ewoks as an order of dark jedi would be cool. Care bears, without the care.
Quote 7803
* Mary_jane`^ eats and goes outside to wait for nora
<AlcarGM> Hrm. Nora is probably having three way sex with the whore of babylon and and Jacob, remember?
<Mary_jane`^> ...
<Mary_jane`^> for 18 hours?'
* Mary_jane`^ walks to school
<AlcarGM> This IS Sara we're talking about :P
<Baliadoc> ((if you don't remember that... you've got some problems))
<Mary_jane`^> (( She's been doing it since about 6 last night... ))
<Baliadoc> ((and if your natural response to being reminded is to start walking to school, you've got some Problems. note the capitalized P.))
<AlcarGM> (( It's worse than you think Bali. MJ suggestted the three way :) ))
<Mary_jane`^> (( I didn't think she'd DO it! ))
<Mary_jane`^> (( I thought she'd laugh and say she's not gay ))
<AlcarGM> (( well she wasn't. At least not bi. After Sara, who knows? :p ))
<Baliadoc> ((... i can't capitalize enough letters to capture of the gravity of your situation.))
Quote 7804
<Baliadoc> y'know, i've been thinking about this, and i think what's weirder than you running only one game at the moment is that there's only one person in it.
<Baliadoc> that's, like, unheard of.
Quote 7805
<AlcarGM> You look behind you. and see people. It doesn't take to look to trecognize Ralph in a wig and trenchcoat, trying to be inconspicuous. He's trying so hard that a lot of people are staring at him.
<Mary_jane`^> lol
<AlcarGM> He follows you to Bio, still trying to be James Bond. You have ot fight the urge to laugh. He's actually ducking into shadows, changing wigs and once wearing underwear on his head, hopefully by mistake.
<Mary_jane`^> lol
Quote 7806
<AlcarGM> Mrs. Thompson has the class gets seated, and decides to inform you all that the human race really IS decended from monkeys. She includes diagrams. And slides. And by the end of the class half the class wll never procreate/.
<Mary_jane`^> uhg
<Mary_jane`^> she's insane
<Mary_jane`^> more than luna
<AlcarGM> oh, yes :p I think I'll tranfer her to uni, for the second campaign :)
<AlcarGM> (( would just need to give her different pet theories. ))
<Mary_jane`^> (( You can't do that... I'll pick a different uni I swear ))
Quote 7807
<Mary_jane`^> "Luna... what happened to babylon?"
<AlcarGM> Luna: "The king killed himself, or let someone Bad kill him. And poof." She snaps her fingers. "I'd been planning a shopping spree for ages, too! The only think left standing was the starbucks."
<AlcarGM> Luna: "AND they were out of lattes."
<Mary_jane`^> "Oh... I see. Hey, will you be at the final battle?"
<AlcarGM> Luna: "I'm invited?!"
<AlcarGM> Luna: "Is it BYOB?"
<AlcarGM> (( please say no to drinks :p ))
<Mary_jane`^> "Yeah, as long as you're on my side." With a grin
<Mary_jane`^> "But no drinks." for the gm
<AlcarGM> (( though the idea of Luna getting everyone shitfaced and the battle being called off by an urgent need for the porclain god is strangely tempting. ))
Quote 7808
<Mary_jane`^> "The world won't end, I'm seeing to that."
<AlcarGM> Luna: "But what if it does? What if someone forgets to pay the reality bill, or we lose? We could lose. You can't have victory unless you have failed."
<Mary_jane`^> "You just have to set that thought aside and hope that we win. We will win. Think of it this way, if the world ends then you probably won't have to worry about it."
<AlcarGM> Luna: "Good point!"
Quote 7809
<AlcarGM> Luna: "How do you use a soul? I was taught they are decoration. Like brains."
Quote 7810
<AlcarGM> that'd be one screwed up relationship.
* AlcarGM smiles evilly.
<Mary_jane`^> yes
<Mary_jane`^> it'll have to be in c2 though
<AlcarGM> Yeah.
<AlcarGM> .. hrm. Couldm involve his ghot. That would be fun.
<Mary_jane`^> if his ghost is what he sees himself as
<Mary_jane`^> he comes back as a girl
<AlcarGM> Kiesha: "I'm in a relationship with a paraplegic transsexual ghost. ....I need help."
<Mary_jane`^> rofl
<AlcarGM> actually, that passes "needs help" by several light years.
<Baliadoc> and involves a lot of my patented Capital Letters.
<AlcarGM> LOL. Yes :)
Quote 7811
* Mary_jane`^ looks up at Luna "it's just a waiting game now."
<AlcarGM> Luna: "I don't like waiting."
<AlcarGM> Luna: "I know! I could kill the other two seals."
<Mary_jane`^> "Yes, but that would be insane."
<AlcarGM> Luna: "No, no, no. If the die BEFORE Merlin planned, we have an edge."
* Mary_jane`^ frowns
<Mary_jane`^> "You... Have a point."
<AlcarGM> Luna: "Like, we can be waiting for them when they arrive."
* Mary_jane`^ shakes her head
<Mary_jane`^> "That's a first..."
<AlcarGM> Luna sighs and looks sad. "It's because I'm sane. I can't help it."
Quote 7812
<AlcarGM> and some SO for MJ does neeed to enter the second campaign .... any ideas?
<Mary_jane`^> SO?
<AlcarGM> signifigant other
<AlcarGM> like, boyfriend.
<Mary_jane`^> a witch or wizard... someone she knows won't be too freaked about her past
<Mary_jane`^> maybe victor
<AlcarGM> lol. That would be ... interesting.
<AlcarGM> "Well, the second time we met she almost turned me into ashes....."
<AlcarGM> The only problem is he's 600 years old. MJ is human. Attraction = nil :P
<Mary_jane`^> yeah
<Mary_jane`^> hmm
<Mary_jane`^> Then probably some random witch or wizard then
<AlcarGM> unlike certain tv shows where centuries old vampires routinely fell in love with proto-Saras :p
Quote 7813
<Mary_jane`^> "Alright... Tonight at sundown we're all meeting."
<Mary_jane`^> "The zoo."
<AlcarGM> Gabe just nods. "There's ... something else. About it."
<Mary_jane`^> "Hmm?"
<AlcarGM> Gabe: "I need to ask you to ... do something. During it."
<Mary_jane`^> "Yes?"
<AlcarGM> Gabe takes a deepbreath, meeting your gaze. "Kill me. Sword. Through the heart."
* Mary_jane`^ looks at him, and at Luna and back at him, then at luna
<Mary_jane`^> "I was joking when I said it was contageous. What did you do?"
<AlcarGM> Luna: "I didn't do anything!"
Quote 7814
<AlcarGM> Kiesha: "Yeah?"
<Mary_jane`^> "Tonight at sundown at the zoo, the final battle. YOu comming?"
<AlcarGM> Kiesha hesitates. "I don't know... I mean .... I don't want to die.. or - or see anyone else die..."
* Mary_jane`^ nods
<Mary_jane`^> "No one will blame you if you don't. You're young, and there will be plenty of other battles."
Quote 7815
<AlcarGM> Luna: "Wait. So what do we do this afternoon?"
<Mary_jane`^> "We could just do it, on the floor?"
<AlcarGM> Luna pauses.
<AlcarGM> Jeeves pauses.
<AlcarGM> Luna: "Do what?"
Quote 7816
* Mary_jane`^ walks for the seals trying not to get too close to the men
<AlcarGM> Boys. Definitely boys. And some men. THey're all just .. .standing arond ... drawn here, and serioiusly confused.
* Mary_jane`^ walks quickly
<AlcarGM> You manage to ignore a LOT of people taking out unnatural needs in ways involving other things. And probably animals. Fire hyrants. Random body parts...
<AlcarGM> Luna: "I feel like I just walked into the twilight zone. Only worse."
<Mary_jane`^> "Don't...talk..."
<AlcarGM> Luna just nods.
<AlcarGM> You reach the seal cage without problems. Largely because the GM reallyt doesn't WANT to rp what problems would be.
<AlcarGM> There are seals. And three people. One of the seals is dead. The other two seem to be sleeping.
* Mary_jane`^ looks in the cage
* Mary_jane`^ stares for a few minutes
* Mary_jane`^ clears her throat
<AlcarGM> The people are a) naked, b) not human, c) having sex, and d) all of the above. The only thing preventing a mass rushing of seriously confused teenagers is the power they're ..generating .. is keeping them away. A few tried to get close and from the loooks of things exploded. Or at least parts of their bodies did.
Quote 7817
<AlcarGM> The three of them turn, looking at the same time. Something ...crashes into you. Desire. Need. Wanting.... Belonging...
<AlcarGM> Sara waves. "HI!"
<Mary_jane`^> "See luna, I think she's crazier than you ever were."
* Mary_jane`^ waves
<AlcarGM> Jacob and Nora are, quite obviously, otherwise engaged.
<AlcarGM> Sara: "This is fun! DO you want to join? You'd ned to be breing toys. We only have one man, and I think he's getting tired."
<AlcarGM> Luna, wisely, does not reply.
<Mary_jane`^> "No, we're here to break up the fun."
<AlcarGM> Sara: "But we're making power. And the other two seals are alive. And well. And happy!"
<AlcarGM> Sara: "And for the past seven hours Merlin hasn't even attacked the ward. I think he's watching!"
<AlcarGM> (( ways to defeat Merlin never considered previously...... ))
* Mary_jane`^ leans on the pole and stares "Yeah... Probably..."
Quote 7818
* alcar shakes his head
<alcar> I hate it when players take the advice of npcs in a game :P
<alcar> NPC: "Wait! If we destroy the last of the seals before Merlin, we can choose when the final battle happens!"
<alcar> PC: "That's a good idea!"
<alcar> Me: "Uh...."
Quote 7819
<AlcarGM> Luna is eating a ham and green bean sandwich.
<Mary_jane`^> "Is that good?"
<AlcarGM> Luna nods. "I felt like having both. And there was bread."
<AlcarGM> (( which is pretty much verbatim what I said to a coworker when I did it.... :P ))
<Mary_jane`^> ((... You actually did that? ))
<AlcarGM> (( Yup. ))
Quote 7820
* Mary_jane`^ walks out and shuts the door
<Mary_jane`^> "Tyler's like... 14."
<AlcarGM> Luna nods. "And had sex with the whore of bablyon and a succubus." She considers that. "I'm trying to see a downside to that."
<Mary_jane`^> "He's 14! She is a totaly craddle robber."
<Mary_jane`^> (( I almost called her a grave robber, which would have been wierd ))
<AlcarGM> (( very :p ))
Quote 7821
<AlcarGM> Nora is making eggs. .... and nods when you arrive. "We ready?"
<Mary_jane`^> "yeah, I'm going to the zoo now."
* Mary_jane`^ saves the game
Quote 7822
<AlcarGM> Blaise appears beside the cage, frowning. "Too many people out there for me to be certain if the wards will hold. Are we all ready?"
* Mary_jane`^ stretches her back and breathes deeply "Where's Luna?"
<AlcarGM> Nora : "Watching from the moon, I think. She said something about planning her entrance. And a wardrobe."
<AlcarGM> (( Luna comes disguised as Merlin: "Surpr ---- ack...." ))
Quote 7823
<Mary_jane`^> "Almost. You want to drop the wards now?"
<AlcarGM> Sara snaps her fingers. "Done!
<AlcarGM> Everyone tenses.
<AlcarGM> Nothing happens.
* Mary_jane`^ looks at the seals
<Mary_jane`^> "So were your wards even doing... Anything?"
<AlcarGM> Sara: "They stopped Merlin from killing them!"
<AlcarGM> She regards the seals critically. "Maybe they need to have sex?!"
<Mary_jane`^> "They look kind of dead."
<AlcarGM> Nora hefts Thor's hammer thoughtfully.
<AlcarGM> A seal blinks owlishly.
<AlcarGM> Sara: "We could kill them and eat them!"
<Mary_jane`^> "Oh, maybe they're not."
<Mary_jane`^> "You can kill them, if you want."
Quote 7824
<AlcarGM> You never see Lancelot move, only Phil's blade in front of you a hairsbreath from your face and then the two of them are gone, moving too fast for you to follow. Rain and thunder ad lithing are filling the air, and you can hear magic and power and bodies are falling. But, somehow, around you and Arthur it's quiet, almost calm....
<Mary_jane`^> "Just a minute."
* Mary_jane`^ closes her eyes and calls for the staff
<AlcarGM> You can almost feel it, just outside your reach. Merlin's will is keeping it from coming. And it does NOT like that.
* Mary_jane`^ pulls harder, opening her eyes and looking unhappy herself
<AlcarGM> Arthur: "I once thought they were lovers, you know, but it was love instead. Equals. Lancelot could have been .... well. No matter. What's done is done. I am here for Excalibur, woman."
<Mary_jane`^> "Woman?"
<AlcarGM> The king walks towards you, ignoring the chaos and bedlam entirely. "That would be you, yes."
Quote 7825
<Mary_jane`^> "Who is watching hell right now?"
* Mary_jane`^ goes for arthur's heart
<AlcarGM> Arthur blocks, with a smile, returning it with a thrust aimed for yours. "Merlin, I imagine. He's quite powerful. I'm amazed your friend is stopping him at all."
* Mary_jane`^ assumes her power isn't working right now
<Mary_jane`^> "Yes, well..."
<Mary_jane`^> "Camelot had to fall. Nothing lasts forever."
* Mary_jane`^ tries the truth thing on Arthur =p
<AlcarGM> (( lol. To do what? ))
<Mary_jane`^> See what Gwenevere saw, hopefully
<AlcarGM> Arthur blinks ....... your gazes lock .. and, for a moment, he stops. "I ... loved ...we couldhave ... made the world live ... if she'd ... been true.........."
* Mary_jane`^ doesn't break the gaze, but thrusts for his heart
<AlcarGM> Your blade punches through his guard and into his heart. He blinks.. confused... and his sword falls to the ground. He reaches out a hand .. hesitantly... "Guinevere?"
<Mary_jane`^> "Arthur..."
<Mary_jane`^> "For what it's worth Arthur... I forgive you."
<AlcarGM> Arthur: ".... as I killed you ... I am ...... love does.. .terrible things......" he slides off your sword to the ground in the rain. "I .... can't ... forgive ... my.."
<Mary_jane`^> "Love is forever."
Quote 7826
<AlcarGM> Merlin: "You little bitch."
* Mary_jane`^ looks up, at Merlin
<AlcarGM> He is Not Happy. Seriously not happy.
<AlcarGM> Merlin: "DO you KNOW how long I planned this and you KILLED him?"
<Mary_jane`^> with cappital NH
Quote 7827
<AlcarGM> You are in your body, unharmed, untouched, and Merlin is above you. There is blood on your sword, and a hole where power should be inside you ..... but the sword is blue, and Truth speaks .....
<AlcarGM> Light fills the world around you, drawn to truth, and from it...... something ... a cage... you need to cage Merlin ......
<Mary_jane`^> right...
* Mary_jane`^ cages merlin =p
<Mary_jane`^> (( Isn't that what I was TRYING to do? ))
<Mary_jane`^> (( Thank you captain obvious =p ))
Quote 7828
<Mary_jane`^> "We should get everyone to a hospital..."
* Mary_jane`^ pulls out her phone, and calls the police chief, checking Gabe's pulse
<AlcarGM> Nora looks where Fenrir was, then just nods....
<AlcarGM> There is a pulse. very faint, and the air around him is static ... but a pulse.
<AlcarGM> Lance Christensen answers the phone with "What now?"
<Mary_jane`^> "Lance..."
<AlcarGM> Pause, then "Is your fireworks show finally over?"
Quote 7829
<AlcarGM> Ambulances ewnter the remains of a zoo, filled with bodies, blood, and craters.....
<AlcarGM> Nora: "I think .. after this ... I am going to sleep for a week...."
* Mary_jane`^ drops the phone and looks around for pulses, lives
<Mary_jane`^> "I think, after this, i'm going to cry for a week. Remind me next time, that I hate being the savior."
<AlcarGM> Tyler is alive. Nora and you are. Gabe is .... and no one else is here. Either gone, missing..... or perhaps dead.
<AlcarGM> Nora: "At least there was something to save."
* Mary_jane`^ hugs her best friend hard
<AlcarGM> Nora returns the hug hard.... then lets go.. "What the fuck fo you mean, NEXT TIME?!"
Quote 7830
<Chaos`^> that was fucking awsome
<alcar> lol! Glad you liked it :)
<Chaos`^> best campaign i've ever been in
<Chaos`^> Plus
<Chaos`^> it's the 1st i've actually ended on a good note
<Chaos`^> i've only ended 1 other
<alcar> LOL! That is true :)
<Chaos`^> which is the (now) 2nd best campaign
<Chaos`^> which was lolad =p
Quote 7831
<alcar> poor Merlin though ... all his dreams, toend up,being trapped by his anima in a giant penis shaped tower with Sara......
Quote 7832
<Chaos`^> Plus, in the end, no one died, except maybe luna and blaise but that's a maybe
<Chaos`^> you know how much I hate characters dieing =p
* alcar laughs. Yes :) Gabe WAS going to die, but he became too much fun :p
Quote 7833
* alcar tended to make 3/4 of the plots up as they went along .. .and figure it out later. Which was fun, but sometimes confusing :p
<Chaos`^> lol
* alcar 's original plot had Sara as God.
<alcar> in disguise :P
<alcar> because, what better disguise is there....
<Chaos`^> lol
<Chaos`^> no
<Chaos`^> just no
Quote 7834
<WarezBert> then how about the fridge is an incarnation of the dhali lama?
<WarezBert> :p
<alcar> "I have to go now. Tibet must be freed."
<alcar> "Dad, what?"
<alcar> "I have to fee tibet. my people are in danger."
<WarezBert> "bzzt" *dispenses ice*
<alcar> "Dad... what are you talking about?"
<alcar> "THe fridges need my aid! I can hear them, calling out over the radio waves, begging for new models!"
<alcar> Maybe not.
<WarezBert> yea lol
Quote 7835
<WarezBert> maybe a robot that got built originally for some mundane purpose, such as one routine task... got upgraded to have a little choice/decision making in order to do that job better, then got left alone for a LONG time to go crazy.... or in this case sentient.
<WarezBert> im not clear on the difference :p
<alcar> "I can put lids on bottles. I can put lids on bottles. I CAN PUT BOTTLES ON LIDS! I AM SENTIENT NOW!"
Quote 7836
<alcar> trying to justify sex with a clone of your sister is bound to be weird :P
<alcar> not that I speak from personal experience or anything.
Quote 7837
<Chaos`^> I need to enlist the aide of a black hole to fix Sol
<Chaos`^> it's like old star meets new star kind of thing =p
<Chaos`^> less fix him, more make him grow up
* alcar laughs.
<alcar> That would likely be a Bad Idea :p
<Chaos`^> I imagine I could get a grey to give me a ride...
<Chaos`^> no way, that'd kick ass
<alcar> And MJ is no longer a Power., so make it Really Bad Idea, in Baliadoc Caps :)
<Chaos`^> MJ didn't have good ideas when she had power
<Chaos`^> wha tmakes you think she'll have good ones now?
<alcar> Good point :p
Quote 7838
* WarezBert is advertising : Player Character available for rent/permanent home... toilet trained, won't make a mess of your campaign... :)
Quote 7839
<alcar> since exactly what Merlin was imprisoned in his vague so I had the whole "tree" and nimue being a fortelling of the future.
<Baliadoc> lol, nice!
* alcar thinks it was probably needlesss complex.
<Baliadoc> eh, complexity keeps you from having to explain things ;)
<Baliadoc> easy to confuse players.
<alcar> lol. True :)
<alcar> Tho that has backfired :P
<Aerdan> life's like that.
<Baliadoc> well... i suppose no plan is failproof ;)
<Baliadoc> but if ninjas teach us anything, it's that a smoke bomb and quick feet are always a solid backup plan.
Quote 7840
<Aerdan> then again, true witches follow the Celtic gods...
<alcar> Heh. Yeah. Right :)
<Aerdan> :P
<alcar> witchcraft as a magical system is full of "Do whatever you bloody well want" as far as I can tell. Like Zen magick. :p
<alcar> which would be a really strange idea.
<alcar> "I do magic by not doing magic at all. The magic that matters is the magic that is never cast. The real magicians knoews that magic is not real, nor unreal."
<alcar> or something like that.
<Baliadoc> lol
<Baliadoc> something like that. ;)
Quote 7841
<Chaos`GM^> Your mouth taste green and you are very thirsty. The smell of breakfast hits you like a bag of soccer balls that are made of brick. Your stomach disagrees with your legs and you fall out of bed. You don't recall letting anyone into your private kitchen, but because it is a part of the main building anyone with a key could get in.
<Rene> (( hrm, this setting have AIs? Like, to turn lights on and stuff?" ))
<Chaos`GM^> (( Absolutely! why wouldn't it!? ))
<Rene> (( Cuz you didn't want any? :p ))
* Rene attempts not to groan. "Lights." Coughs. "Lights on, please."
<Chaos`GM^> (( T'ch ))
Quote 7842
<Chaos`GM^> Jasmine comes out of her room in a skirt entirely too short and a shirt entirely too low. She has a pair of sunglasses entirely too big and her makeup is entirely too dark.
* Rene ,wisely, says nothing about any of that.
<Chaos`GM^> She smiles "Ready honey?"
<Chaos`GM^> She skips her way to the door, entirely too happy.
* Rene nods, ignoring the honey., and follows carefully, keeping an eye out for fans, mostly.
<Chaos`GM^> She goes out the door. The driver isn't there, no one called him. But that doesn't matter, because she walks. To the store.
* Rene squints at the sunlight and makes a note to compensate for that if anyone tries to kill them, though he doesn't expect any asssassin to actually bother getting up early. Which is why he's prepared for one, since if he was one he'd get up early.
<Rene> (( cyberpunk, where paranoia is an essential survival trait :p ))
Quote 7843
<Chaos`GM^> She looks up and down the street "You know Rene. This city is boring."
<Chaos`GM^> She walks over to a parked car on the side of the street and climbs up on its roof "LOS ANGELES! LISTEN UP! I AM JASMINE! WHO WANTS TO HEAR ME SING?"
<Chaos`GM^> She throws her hands in the air and a crowd begins to gather "Is that really her?" They ask "THE jasmine? It looks like her from the tv. Probably a look alike though."
<Rene> "Being alive is not boring," very carefully. "People DO have a tendancy to try and kill famous people? Especially the more... obsessive fans."
<Chaos`GM^> She looks down "Don't worry I know what I'm doing."
* Rene looks for the most probable areas for people to shoot her from while she's on the car and comes up with too many for his liking. "I very much doubt that. We have the water. Let's go insane."
<Rene> err, inside :P
<Chaos`GM^> She begins to dance on the car and sing one of her more signature songs "Fuck you asswipe"
<Chaos`GM^> Which doesn't get much air time
<Rene> (( .. hopes he's getting paid a LOT to body guard her :P ))
Quote 7844
* Rene blinks. "What's wrong?" sharply.
<Chaos`GM^> "Make it stop!" She yells from her knees
* Rene helps her up, assuming she isn't wounded, and looks around for . .whatever she is referring to
<Chaos`GM^> Besides the smoke coming from down the street and people running around like the world is about to end, nothing special.
<Rene> "Make what stop?"
<Chaos`GM^> "Take me home. Please."
* Rene helps her up. And does so.
<Rene> Assuming someone didn't, say, blow it up as part of a piece of performance art.
Quote 7845
<Chaos`GM^> "i don't know, don't you have a safehouse somewhere or something? You know the whole spy thing don't you?"
<Rene> "No, I don't. Know the spy thing, that is. And I do own a small place. Mostly for storage, and family if they visit."
<Chaos`GM^> "We need to go there. I need to hide. They can't find me..."
<Rene> "A former employer bought it for me. Under another name, because he was paranoid, but since someone did bomb his tooth brush and blow the side of his face off, not paranoid enough. It could be traced to me."
Quote 7846
<Chaos`GM^> She takes off the crossbow and drops it on the floor
* Rene winces.
<Chaos`GM^> She has tears in her eyes but doesn't cry audibly
<Rene> "A weapon isn't to be treated ...." *sighs* "Jasmine?" carefully, ignoring the small voice saying he shouldn't be familiar when on duty. "What is this place? Who is after you, and why?"
<Chaos`GM^> She looks up, and looks like a lost puppy. She doesn't say anything, she only looks at you.
* Rene just waits, trying for calm, reminding himself they were "just" weapons. It's not like they had names. Wait. They did. Tries for calm again and mostly succeeds.
Quote 7847
<Chaos`GM^> "I just KNOW i have to be here. I KNOW they're comming, I KNOW that they're inside of your appartment now. I KNOW there are five of them. I don't know how, or why."
* Rene almost says something possibly sarcastic ..... then blinks, calm vanishing behind a sudden stilliness. "Five of what?"
<Chaos`GM^> "People."
* Rene reminds himself it could be a coincidence. "Have you felt this ... instinct ... before?"
<Chaos`GM^> "No."
<Chaos`GM^> She rocks on the bucket. The metal ground clinks lightly.
* Rene is quietly relieved and relaxes a little. "So. We are runing from five ... people. Only, you don't know why. Or to where. Or if there are kin fact people."
<Chaos`GM^> "Right."
<Rene> "I had been hoping you'd contradict some of that."
Quote 7848
<Rene> "Such as a speculation as to why people want to dead?"
<Chaos`GM^> She nods
<Rene> (( They're music critics. I just know it. ))
<Chaos`GM^> "He'll be mad at me, because of what happened."
<Rene> "Who will be?"
<Chaos`GM^> "I don't know. SOmeone close to me... Old... I looked up to him... I don't know it's something important."
<Chaos`GM^> , after know =p
<Rene> (( lol. Okay. I was getting worried trying to parse that :p ))
Quote 7849
<Chaos`GM^> No, it's just a loose piece of floor
* Rene loosens it to see if anything is under it.
<Chaos`GM^> You lift it up slightly, Jasmine steps on it quickly nearly crushing your fingers "Wait!"
* Rene looks up. "Yes?"
<Chaos`GM^> She stares at the floor "SOmething important..."
* Rene looks at her, then at the floor. "Well?"
<Chaos`GM^> "A knife. Give me a knife."
* Rene givs her his eighth-best knife, in case she damanges it.
Quote 7850
<Chaos`GM^> She types in the year, the screen flashes error and goes back to counting down, 20 seconds
<Chaos`GM^> "The letters, something about them."
<Chaos`GM^> (( Where did you get 1 9 15 1? ))
<Rene> (( vowels in Arizona :p ))
<Rene> (( only thing I could think of. ))
<Chaos`GM^> (( So close... ))

<alcar> oh! LOL!
<alcar> Damn. I was making it way too complicated :P
<GeminiRai> :P
* alcar was removing vowels, cutting out vowels and letters that duplicated....
<alcar> it's why I really suck at riddles :)
Quote 7852
<Rene> it should have a singularity.
<Chaos`GM^> hmm?
<Rene> or a black hole, at the least.
<Rene> Give new meaning to a briefcase bomb
<Chaos`GM^> lol
Quote 7853
<Rene> actually, I think in a cyberpunk world meme bombs would make the most sense.
<Chaos`GM^> meme?
<Rene> sort of like idea.
<Rene> ideas that spread, via Dawkins book about selfish genes, iirc.
* Rene asks google for teh specifics.
<Rene> A unit of cultural information, such as a cultural practice or idea, that is transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another.
<Chaos`GM^> ..
<Rene> So, say, you could have meme bombs making people insane ,or going into cannibalistic orgies
<Rene> Or do alien invasions via memes.
<Chaos`GM^> ...
<Chaos`GM^> cannibalistic orgies?
<Rene> Well,orgies is perhaps not the best word for it :P
<Rene> feasts? Make people in a crowd devour each other and the like.
<Chaos`GM^> where is your mind?
<Chaos`GM^> cannibalistic orgies?
<Chaos`GM^> I can imagine it too, is the sad part
<Chaos`GM^> *nibble*
* Rene 's mind is .... special :P
* Chaos`GM^ shivers
Quote 7854
* Rene picks a random second hand store, and has Jasmine get something ... normal. Bland. But with lots of free movement for running away, if it becomes necessary.
<Rene> (( Victorian dress and high heels, baby! ))
Quote 7855
<Rene> "Do you know any meddocs who'd do a favour?"
<Chaos`GM^> "What? I don't know anyone... I mean there's some singers and stuff but I think everyone either wants me dead, or wants the money." She seems distracted from her pain to yell at you
<Rene> "You're famous. Of course you know people ... and what money?"
<Rene> (( Now that you're hurt, helpless, got my place blown up and are insane .. .no. I wouldn't sell you for money. Though the player is all for it ;P ))
<Chaos`GM^> "Nothing. We need a doctor. Don't you know any doctors? Something? An EMT? I'm hurt damnit!" She moves her foot to stamp it on the ground she's laying on, but it hurts and she screams
<Chaos`GM^> (( She's not very smart I'm affraid =( ))
<Rene> (( so I've noticed :P ))
Quote 7856
<Rene> The meddoc should call himself Dr. Who. And his lab the tardis :p
<Chaos`GM^> no
<Chaos`GM^> I refuse
<Rene> awwww :p
<Rene> Dr. Steve?
<Chaos`GM^> How about
<Chaos`GM^> The spin doctor?
Quote 7857
<Rene> "We do NOT have time for games here, Jasmine. What in the name of Saint Gibson is going on?"
<Chaos`GM^> She frowns and hands you a scotch "I suppose I have alot of questions, but you seem to know more of what's going on than I do. I would like to know my name, though."
<Chaos`GM^> "I doubt it's Yang. Though they did say I was married... Are you my husband?"
* Rene puts the scotch down. "No. I am Rene. Your bodyguard. Now quit being foolish."
<Chaos`GM^> "Rene? Sounds like a woman's name... Am I a lesbian?"
<Chaos`GM^> She looks you over "You don't look like a woman, but you never can tell with Lesbians."
* Rene doesn't shake her. .... yet. "I wouldn't know. Now stop acting like you lost your memory and give me some answers here."
<Chaos`GM^> "What do you want me to tell you?"
* Rene starts ticking things off on his fingers. "One, why we're here. Two, how you knew to come here. Three, who is after you. Four, why. And lastly, how much of a bonus am I getting for this?"
* Rene is assuming OOCly she's the kind of person would WOULD fake amnesia to get out of answering a question she didn't want to :p
<Chaos`GM^> LoL
Quote 7858
<Chaos`GM^> She looks through the rest of the bag, pulling out the pistol and ammo
<Chaos`GM^> She sets them lightly on the bed, holding them like a bottle of nitro
* Rene looks as well.
<Rene> "I hope this sparks memories. Perhaps of your last trip to a mall at Christmas time?"
Quote 7859
* Rene checks the name on the card
<Chaos`GM^> Yin Yang
* Rene looks at it. "Hah."
<Chaos`GM^> She looks at you "What?"
<Rene> "The name."
<Chaos`GM^> She looks at it "Is it funny?"
<Rene> "Somewhat. Old fashioned. Do you know how to use these weapons?"
<Chaos`GM^> "I suppose it's like riding a bike?"
<Rene> "I have no idea what a bike is, but I don't see why not. AI, is there a shooting range in the hotel?"
<Chaos`GM^> There's a silence as the AI contemplates your sanity, then "No."
<Rene> (( it's cyberpunk :p I don't see why there wouldn;'t be one :) ))
Quote 7860
<Rene> "Do you have a camera in the hallway?"
<Chaos`GM^> "No. I have a scanner."
<Rene> "Can you scan whoever is out there?" patiently.
<Chaos`GM^> "It's not Mrs. Yang."
* Rene pauses. "Could that be because Mrs. Yang is in the room right now?"
<Chaos`GM^> "Yes, also the scan does not register as Mrs. Yang."
Quote 7861
<Chaos`GM^> She cringes again, pulls the trigger and misses again.
<Rene> "Look. You left it for a reason. Don't think. Just do."
<Chaos`GM^> She looks at you oddly "Let's see YOU do it!"
<Rene> "I don't use guns."
<Rene> "They're unfair."
<Rene> "and not .... civilized. A sword is. A sword you can see, and respond to. Guns just murder. A sword is art."
<Rene> (( realizes belatedly that Rene would have made a fun jedi, and ponders jedi in cyberpunk :p ))
<Chaos`GM^> "What? You don't know how to use it and you're telling me to just do it?"
* Rene frowns. "I know *how* to. I merely choose not to."
<Rene> "It is a matter of honour in battle."
Quote 7862
<Chaos`GM^> You walk outside, into the light of midday. The streets are busy with people going to their lunch hour. A man runs through the crowd toward you. He is looking behind him, and you see two police officers chasing him.
<Chaos`GM^> You get the feeling you should be remembering something important right now...
<Rene> (( well that's a useless feeling :p ))
Quote 7863
<Chaos`GM^> "They didn't notice us. You ok?"
<Chaos`GM^> She nods "You get hurt?"
<Chaos`GM^> SHe walks toward the Hotel
* Rene shrugs. "Unless he cut me with some strange drug, yes."
* Rene also typed dog for drug the first time, by accident :p
<Rene> (( that would have been really strange :p "NO! Not a poodle!" ))
Quote 7864
<Chaos`GM^> There is none, except a few non perishables such as instant mashed tomatoes and a chocolate bar.
<Chaos`GM^> (( and no tomatoes was not a typo =p ))
<Rene> (( .. right. ))
Quote 7865
<Chaos`GM^> AI: "Excuse me, there seems to be..." Pausing "Five people outside that are not Mrs. Yang."
* Rene blinks. "Can you say anything else about them?"
<Chaos`GM^> "They haven't knocked. They seem to be standing. I don't have much more information."
Quote 7866
<Rene> "Jasmine, your AI has no name. Would you like to name it?"
<Chaos`GM^> Jasmine looks at you oddly "What? Uhm... Why?"
<Rene> "Because it's yours?"
<Chaos`GM^> "Oh ah... What's a good name for a computer?"
<Chaos`GM^> AI: "I rather like Gary."
<Rene> "Hal? Skynet? Chaos? .. or Gary."
Quote 7867
<Chaos`GM^> She blinks and goes to the briefcase and checks everything in it, and grabs her bag and puts it on the table.
<Chaos`GM^> She looks at you "Well?"
* Rene tapes a deep breath. "Find cover, and be careful."
* Rene gos over and knocks on the door.
<Chaos`GM^> LoL
* Rene gets out of the way of it after that, swords out :)
<Chaos`GM^> Jasmine hides under the table
<Chaos`GM^> Gary: "Someone seems to have knocked on the door."
<Rene> "Yes, if you don't mind.:"
<Chaos`GM^> You hear gary muffled through the door...
* Rene marvels that for an insanely expensive room they skimped on the ai
Quote 7868
<Chaos`GM^> She goes to bed, and after a good hour there is another knock on the door
* Rene opens the door.
<Chaos`GM^> Five men are standing outside in black suits looking around the hallway
* Rene closes the door :P
<Rene> "SOrry, we don't want any."
<Rene> (( <-- is dead :p ))
<Chaos`GM^> The door closes as they realize it was opened, they look at you and are gone behind the door
<Chaos`GM^> Gary: "Would you like me to send them away?"
<Rene> "Ah, if possible, or ask what their business is?"
Quote 7869
<Chaos`GM^> You get the feeling there is something important you should be remembering...
* Rene is getting used to this feeling :p
<Chaos`GM^> Your left arm goes numb and your blood feels cold comming from your shoulder.
* Rene doesn't plan to get used to this one :P
Quote 7870
* Rene shakes his head, dismissing it. "Where are we?"
<Chaos`GM^> "SOme country manner. Evidently there's a man here that's a natural enemy of Mr. Snow. He said we can stay for two days."
* Rene nbods. "Well. Shall we go meet him?"
<Chaos`GM^> "Uhm... I'd rather not."
* Rene blinks. "Why not?"
<Chaos`GM^> "Well, I overheard the agents talking to him. He doesn't seem to pleasant."
<Rene> "Most people aren't. And if this Mr. Snow is after you, we need to learn something about him."
* Rene grins. "Besides, you can generally judge a person by their enemies."
<Chaos`GM^> "He could be after you. Maybe that's why you fell unconsceous."
* Rene frowns, then nods. "Perhaps. BUt I have no idea why. You, on the other hand, are a mystery. People like to solve those."
<Chaos`GM^> "You want to solve me?"
<Rene> (( Rene's player wanders off to plot the Mystery Machine and gang in cyberpunk.... ))
Quote 7871
<Chaos`GM^> Jasmine leans back and flips the chanell
<Chaos`GM^> "Crappy news, nothing happy on those things."
<Rene> "Well, there is the secret of life."
<Rene> "Mind you, I wouldn't trusy anything coming from an academic. He probably discovered sex."
Quote 7872
<Rene> "The secret of life is the discovery of interlocking compo - ooh - components for . ..ahhh .... reproduction." "Professor hound?" "ooh... err .. yes?" "Is there a reason you are being serviced my a prostitute below the table during our interview?" "Secret of life, my good man." "You .. never had sex before." "Well, once. But I was busy taking notes."
<Chaos`GM^> ...
<Rene> so, that's not going to be his message? :p
<Chaos`GM^> no
Quote 7873
* Rene raises an eyebrow. "Who is Snow, anyway?"
<Chaos`GM^> "Terrible violent man. Would you like some tea?"
* Rene nods. "We'd love some. Do you know what he does, or why he might be after us?"
<Chaos`GM^> "No idea, i just know that we hate eachother. Snow isn't his real name, but thats how he signs his letters."
<Chaos`GM^> Your host walks toward the kitchen.
* Rene follows. "What do you hate him for?"
<Chaos`GM^> "Because he keeps trying to kill me. I don't take too lightly to that."
* Rene nods. "What did you do to him?"
<Chaos`GM^> "No idea."
<Rene> "Oh."
<Rene> "It would seem we have that in common, then."
<Chaos`GM^> "Good, I'm glad not to be alone." He says this sarcasticly. He leads you into the kitchen and begins some water for tea.
<Rene> (( Damn. Sometimes I wish Rene was more cyberpunk and'd just kill this fellow so Mr. Snow leaves them alone :) ))
Quote 7874
* Rene thanks him, and finds some healing stuff, and uses it on himself and Jasmine.
<Chaos`GM^> healing stuff?
<Chaos`GM^> You pull out some holy water and throw it on your head and say a prayer.
<Rene> nanoboobs, whatever else :P
<Rene> ... nanobots.
<Rene> damn weird typo :p
<Chaos`GM^> yes well now I know where your mind is...
<Rene> (( definitely not on boobs :p ))
<Chaos`GM^> (( Freudian slip ))
<Rene> (( gets a better belt. ))
<Chaos`GM^> (( I could say so many things to the belt comment, but I'll let it slide ))
<Rene> (( :p ))
Quote 7875
<Chaos`GM^> Jasmine is staring at the window "Is he supposed to be doing that?" As you enter. She doesn't turn to watch you walk in.
* Rene looks out the window
<Chaos`GM^> There seems to be what looks like a butler, on the green lawn, he is dancing with... A dead dog...
* Rene blinks.
<Rene> "I have no idea."
* Rene watches
<Chaos`GM^> "Should I shoot him?"
* Rene stares at Jasmine. "... Why?"
<Chaos`GM^> He's doing a waltz. There seems to be a stereo near him, but you can't hear anything
<Chaos`GM^> "Well he's insane and he might go postal and kill everyone."
<Rene> "That applies to most everyone you meet. We can ask our host."
<Chaos`GM^> "If I should shoot him?"
* Rene nods. "Exactly. I imagine he is short on butlers."
Quote 7876
<Chaos`GM^> He walks outside and to the edge of the patio and watches the butler tango with the dog
* Rene watches both him, and the butler.
<Chaos`GM^> The old man has an open mouth and the butler seems to have found a rose that he is biting and trying to get the dog to take from him
<Rene> "I take it this is not a normal occurence?"
<Chaos`GM^> The old man shakes his head "What the hell?"
<Chaos`GM^> The old man walks out to the lawn "Hey, what the hell are you doing?"
<Chaos`GM^> The butler looks at him "I'm ending the session!"
* Rene looks for atttackers! Because he is kind of paranoid.
<Rene> "No, you're not! SHOOT HIM, JASMINE!"
Quote 7877
<Chaos`GM^> Ok, we last left our heros watching a butler dance with a dead dog, and the master of the manor, who's bushy white hair and beard block the view is yelling at his butler, asking him what he's doing.
<Chaos`GM^> The butler stops and regards the White puffball with a look, and answers "I'm dancing, can't you see that?"
* Rene is looking for people with guns. Or darts. Since he thinks it is a Trap.
<Chaos`GM^> Erm... You are totally paranoid
<Chaos`GM^> No guns, no darts, no people.
* Rene has a client to protect. If he is not paranoid, he does not get paid :p
<Chaos`GM^> A nice tango song comes on, and the butler takes the rose from the dead dog's mouth and dances in a nice tango. The puffball of a man is staring in amazement, he fixes his hair and looks at you "I believe he's quite mad."
<Rene> (( pictures arguging with the estate of the deceased over payment of monies owed..... ))
Quote 7878
<Rene> "I trust you have a spare butler?"
<Chaos`GM^> Old man: "What? No! No, I don't keep spares in closets just in case."
<Chaos`GM^> Jasmine: "Should I shoot him now?"
<Chaos`GM^> The butler throws the rose at you from his teeth and keeps dancing
* Rene regards the rose as if it was a bomb.
<Chaos`GM^> Jasmine: "You were supposed to catch it, you know."
<Rene> "Oh. My last employer did. Then again, she was rather strange and did the same thing with lovers, and her parents. Clones and memory implantation, mostly. I never did want to know the details."
<Chaos`GM^> Jasmine: "Shall we dance as well? The music is rather captivating."
<Rene> "And be poisoned?" to Jasmine. "Obviously *something* went wrong with him. Tho I fail to see how Mr. Snow, or anyone, could benefit by driving a Butler insane ... perhaps it was a random effect nanite plague?"
<Chaos`GM^> The old man regards jasmine much like he did the butler, or perhaps how he would a piece of bread that has turned green.
<Chaos`GM^> Old Man: "I would call the dogs on him, but he trained them. Plus he's holding a dead one hostage."
<Rene> "... hostage?"
Quote 7879
<Rene> btw, the idea of a dead dog being a hostage is kinda stupid :p I mean, you don't kill a dogand say "Don't come near me!" to a pack of trained killers and expect it to work :)
<Chaos`GM^> ROFL
<Chaos`GM^> He isn't really a hostage
<Chaos`GM^> It was the old man being sarcastic =p
<Rene> Ah. That didn't come through well, then :)
<Chaos`GM^> I mean, how would you feel if you saw the man who serves your food was suddenly dancing with a dead dog?
<Rene> With luck I shall never have to find out.
Quote 7880
<Chaos`GM^> The old man watches the window to the world that is on the door
<Chaos`GM^> Jasmine finishes her meal and lays down "I think it's going to be a while." You hear gunshots "Yeah, I also think you need to invest in new dogs."
<Rene> "How many dogs are there?"
<Chaos`GM^> Old man: "About twenty... Maybe twenty five, i don't remember."
<Rene> "Do you have any cameras of the yard?"
<Chaos`GM^> He nods "But we can't see them from here. This is a safe room, you don't watch tv in a safe room. YOu sit and worry about your future and remember suddenly that you forgot to install an oxygen tank and that you have twenty minutes before the ari runs out."
<Aerdan> . o O (*snerk*)
<Rene> "......"
* Rene stares at him. "Then HOW IS THIS ROOM SAFE?!"
<Chaos`GM^> He shrugs "I suppose we'll have to ask whatever higher power you believe in when our air runs out."
<Rene> "... and that air comment was serious?" very slowly
Quote 7881
<Chaos`GM^> You hear more gunshots, and a guard hits the window with a scream, and is dragged downward with a few growls at knee level coming through the door
<Rene> "I hope you have weapons in here?"
<Chaos`GM^> Old man: "No, it's locked for a reason."
* Rene is calm. Almost happy, even, since something is happening, and he likes paranoia to be vindicated.
* Rene pauses. Stares at the old man. "Doors can be unlocked, you know."
* Rene is now seriously wondering how this person survived assassination attempts.
<Chaos`GM^> Well, they never got THIS FAR before... Snow wasn't after him that badly =p
<Chaos`GM^> but he REALLY wants you...
<Rene> (( Rene is ignoring the voice in his head saying "you know, this is all YOUR fault.". Becasuse it might not be, and doesn't matter if it is :) ))
