Session Start: Sat Mar 09 11:42:50 2002
* HappyLittleMoron sits with Brenna and Iris on the couch, reading to 'em
* Mondo leaps into the window
* ``Mitch stumbles out of the shower, limping heavily but feeling just a little more human
* ``Mitch towels off and hauls on some dingy cargo pants and a wifebeater <just for you Mondo>, flicking on his glasses and stretching very gingerly, many many aches clamouring to be noticed
* Cala is curled up on a bench at the park, writing in her notebook*
<``Mitch> Muttered. "...fucking hero... yeah. Fucking idiot."
* Mondo_Gecko heads into the shower, feeling all dirty
* ``Mitch exeunts stage left, locking up behind him as always, and limps downstairs
* HappyLittleMoron looks up at Mitch and blinks* Uhm...hi...you ok?
<``Mitch> "Rough... ROUGH night. Last night." Favoring both his left leg AND side, he moves into the kitchen, gesturing for her to continue reading to the kids.
* Lisa is driving around the city, trying to spot Mondo and the pulls her car to a hault, spotting something else: *w* Cala
<HappyLittleMoron> ...
<HappyLittleMoron> Uhmmmmmm...k...*looks back to the little ones and shrugs a little*
* Lisa pulls out her cellphone and calls up the lab, talking very excitedly*..no..no sign of Shawn! but something much better...I found Cala..get a team down here fast..tranqs..nets..the whole bit...ok..bye
* Cala looks up, feeling something, looking around
* ``Mitch shuffles out again, beer in hand, and eases himself down into a chair, just leaning his head back and closing his eyes
* HappyLittleMoron glances up, brows furrowed lightly in worry, letting Iris have her turn...helping her out with words she can't get..
* Cala looks around, spotting Lisa's car, eyes widening
<``Mitch> .oO(Note to self. Find out what faith that was. Start praying.)
* Lisa grins*
<Cala> .oO(Not good!)
* Mondo_Gecko finnishes showering and hops out, getting dressed and combing his long silken hair
* Cala backs toward the bushes, scanning her surroundings for a good escape
<HappyLittleMoron> Hey Mitch...? Once I get the girls to bed in about an hour...wanna tell me what happened...?
* Lisa jumps out of the car and takes off on foot, a syringe of tranqs in her labcoat
<``Mitch> He chuckles, a little wearily. "Mrs. Happy, I'd be delighted to tell you what I know, which should take about half a minute. I have no idea what happened... just what I did."
* Cala takes off running, knowing it's probably useless to call for help
* Mondo_Gecko brushes his teeth and finnishes toweldrying his hair and heads downstairs, going to grab some food*
* HappyLittleMoron nods a little* Heh...ok...might help ya ta talk about it is all...*grins kindly*
<``Mitch> "Oh, I'm, y'know, okay with it. Just hurting like a sumbitch. ROUGH night."
<HappyLittleMoron> Heh! Ok...feel free to help yourself to the ice packs if ya need 'em...take a soak in the hot tub, too...it'll do wonders
<``Mitch> "Does it? I've never tried a hot tub before." He blinks, and raises his head. "How's Aria doing?"
<HappyLittleMoron> Still out...
<``Mitch> "Yeah... doesn't surprise me."
<HappyLittleMoron> She over do it...?
<``Mitch> "Someone overdid it for her... I'll tell you later." He raises a free hand wearily and waves. "Hi, Brenna, Iris."
<HappyLittleMoron> K...
<``Mitch> .oO(If they EVER call me "Uncle Mitch", I'll... do SOMETHING.)
* Iris looks up and smiles* Hello, Mitch! *Brenna smiles widely and wavels back*
<``Mitch> "Whatcha reading?"
<Brenna> G'night, Moon. *smiles* 'Smy favorite...
<``Mitch> He nods, carefully taking a swig from the beer.
* ``Mitch , just out of curiosity, ducks his head and looks at them over the rims of his glasses, checking out their auras...
* Iris's is basically a glowing rainbow of swirling colors, while Brenna's is like HLM's except the blood red is replaced with electric blue*
<``Mitch> .oO(Runs in the family. What's up with her and rainbows, anyway? She got a pot of gold in her?)
* Mondo_Gecko grins
<Mondo_Gecko> Hey iris!
* Iris looks up and smiles* Hi, Mondo!! *excuses herself and runs over to hug him*
* ``Mitch glances over, and nods to Mondo before tipping his head back again.
* Mondo_Gecko goes down on his knees and hugs Iris!
<Mondo_Gecko> whacha upto?
* Iris smiles* Readin'!
<``Mitch> .oO(Auras... Diana. Books? There's- damn! Almost forgot.)
* Cala looks for a means of escape, ducking down an alley
* A Large white van with TGRI blocks the end of the ally and Lisa is comming up behind*
* ``Mitch hauls himself up, grimacing... leaving his beer on the end table, he shuffles up to his room, and digs in the bookbag until he finds the paperback he picked up on a whim yesternight
<Cala> .oO(Shit!)
* Cala looks up at the fire escape, grabbing on and climbing up as fast she can*
* several large men get out of the back of the van and advance on her with tranq guns*
<Lisa> Lets do this quietly Cala...
<Iris> You?
* ``Mitch takes it up to Diana's room, and leans against the wall, his head meeting the wallpaper... .oO(No more stairs. After this, no. More. Stairs.)
<Cala> Quietly? I think not! .oO(They want quiet?) *she screams as loud as she possibly can*
* ``Mitch raises one of his hands and knocks, still leaning
* Mondo_Gecko jerks up, hearing the screem
<Mondo_Gecko> ...hol sh-
* Iris blinkblinks and looks up, as does HLM, who mutters a few curses undeer her breath*
* ``Mitch just *groans*
* Mondo_Gecko gets up and takes off
* Iris goes over to HLM, who takes both heeer and Brennaa into her lap*
* ``Mitch limps back down the hall, down the stairs, retrieves the AK-47...
* Mondo_Gecko heads out the front door and up the rooftops, following in the direction of the screeming
<``Mitch> .oO(Stairs. Why'd it have to be stairs?)
* HappyLittleMoron guesses she coulda installed shoots 'n ladders instead...
* ``Mitch stumbles on his way downstairs, cracking a knee... he bites back a curse and hauls himself up by the railing
* Cala climbs up, trying not to stay still long enough for them to get good aim*
* one of the guys starts shooting tranqs at her and missing
* another of them start getting pissed off and grabs a peice of pipe laying on the ground and goes after her, trying to beat her over the head*
* Cala whacks at him with her tail, climbing up to the roof*
* Mondo_Gecko stops suddenly, seeing cala across teh roof from him
* ``Mitch collapses back into the chair, rifle leaned against one shoulder.
* one of the guys starts climbing the fire escape&
* Cala sees Mondo and blinks, forgetting about her attacker for a moment, stunned to see him
<``Mitch> "I wish these things would just give us a little time. I want to REST, dammit."
<HappyLittleMoron> ...then DO so...
<HappyLittleMoron> Gads...you'll end up like Diana if you're not careful...
* the gun fires, hitting her in the back of the thigh*
<``Mitch> He shrugs, a tad stiffly. "Too late. Know anything yet?"
* HappyLittleMoron shakes her head* No clue...Mondo took off...
* Calantha 's eyes widen a bit. She then reaches back to pull the dart out, feeling a bit woozy
<``Mitch> .oO(Stop thinking like that, schmuck. It's not a hospital, it's her room. You'd have seperate quarters.) *his mental self reaches out and smacks him upside the head*
* the guy reaches the top and snatches her, pulling her down the fire escape and yells back * There's another one!!
* Mondo_Gecko GROWLS
<Mondo_Gecko> .oO(what the hell are they doing to that girl?!)
* Cala uses what little energy she has to bite the heck out of the guy*
<``Mitch> "Okay. I guess... yeah, I'll just watch the door."
* He screems and drops her, letting her fall the rest of the way
* HappyLittleMoron nods a little
* OikawaNishimaru walks into the Asylum
<``Mitch> "From the very strategic position of this chair."
* Mondo_Gecko runs and jumps down, leaping between the buildings on the way down
<Mondo_Gecko> hey!!
* Calantha falls to the ground with a thud, her head swimming
* ``Mitch hauls up the AK-47, shouldering it and flicking off the catch
* they drag Calantha into the back of the van, pushing her into a cage*
* HappyLittleMoron smirks at Mitch then blinks and looks up at Oikawa, arching a brow
<HappyLittleMoron> .......can we help you?
* Mondo_Gecko yelps as something hits his sholder*
* OikawaNishimaru gives a little smile* May I have a room?
* ``Mitch blinks, then lowers the rifle.
<HappyLittleMoron> Heh...sure...*hauls herself to her feet, telling the girls to behave as she heads for the desk*
<``Mitch> .oO(Way to greet the customers, smoothie.)
* Mondo_Gecko watches as things start to fade to black..his body feeling like lead..thick and heavy, like the air...no...he's undewater...vaguley aware that something is being put on his head, fitted around his snout..handcuffed, feet tied*
* Kawa is followed by another man, he is dressed in a nice robe with 5 symbols embroided onto the chest*
<Calantha> .oO(That poor guy was trying to help me..)
<HappyLittleMoron> We got a few rules here...y'pull your own weight...which incluudes paying rent...y'clean up after yourself....keep the fighting down to a dull roar *smirks a little* applies ta fights with people who live here...an' y' respect the privacy of others...*blinks a little* Yer friend need a room, too?
* Calantha loses consciousness with that last thought, the walls of the cage seeming to close in around her
<OikawaNishimaru> We're together
* HappyLittleMoron gets out the book, and nods...* K...one room then?
* the man nods*
<OikawaNishimaru> Yes
* HappyLittleMoron nods a little and gets out a key* K...uhm...just need you two ta sign in...*smirks lightly* I'm HLM...
* OikawaNishimaru signs 'Oikawa' and hands the pen to his friend who signs 'Marcus'
* ``Mitch watches the door, rifle cradled in two arms - though his attention keeps being drawn to Brenna and Iris, watching them flipping through the children's book
* OikawaNishimaru has hanging from his belt a 3 claw lightsaber, and Marcus has a tai chi sword
<``Mitch> .oO(Could've just been a scream. This IS New York.)
<``Mitch> .oO(...so where's Mondo?)
* HappyLittleMoron takes note of the weaponry* Heh...the number on the door matches the one on the key...
* OikawaNishimaru nods* Thank you
* OikawaNishimaru heads up to find the room, Marcus following closely behind
<HappyLittleMoron> ...yep...
* HappyLittleMoron does the lil' bit of paperwork and glances out the window..
<``Mitch> Muttered. "How much of the rent goes towards paying off the cops to ignore criminal possession near the Asylum?"
* HappyLittleMoron smirks at Mitch* You're not doing anything wrong if you don't get caught.
* `Wing` comes home tiard and annoyed that he stil ahstn heard anything from hsi sister and SOMONE at work HAD to spill 4 cups worth of steamed milk on him
<``Mitch> "Ain't THAT the truth." *swig*
* HappyLittleMoron blinks and wavels a little to Wing* ....heeyo
* OikawaNishimaru comes down a short time later, minus Marcus who stayed in the room.
<``Mitch> "Hi, Wing - hey, did you see Mondo as you came in?"
<`Wing`> Konbanwa HLM-sama...
<`Wing`> iie..
<``Mitch> "Shit." He glances at HLM, rubbing his forehead.
* HappyLittleMoron rubs her belly a little and sighs
<``Mitch> "Guess I'll go out and have a look."
<HappyLittleMoron> Be careful...don't overdo it, k?
* HappyLittleMoron nods to Oikawa belatedly, going to sit back with the girls, brows furrowed
* ``Mitch pushes himself up painfully, leaning the AK against the end table and grabbing his jacket, shrugging into it and folding his lower arms up. "Believe me, Mrs. Happy, doing pretty much ANYTHING is the last thing on my mind."
<`Wing`> (im going to regret this).. woudl you like soem help Mitch?
<HappyLittleMoron> Ok..
<``Mitch> He glances at Wing. "I think I've got-" .oO(Why are you arguing?) "-well, yeah. We heard this scream down that way-" *gesturing* "-and Mondo went out to scope it... he hasn't come back, and it's been a while."
* OikawaNishimaru doesn't know what to think exactally, he turns and heads upstairs and finds his way to the roof
<`Wing`> then lets take a look..
<HappyLittleMoron> Ok...bed time for little girls...*heads up the stairs to put Iris and Brenna to bed*
* ``Mitch nods and walks out the door, moving stiffly and favoring one side
* `Wing` follows puttign his jacket back on
* ``Mitch heads down in the direction of the scream, taking his time and watching the streets
* HappyLittleMoron snags a jacket and slips it on before joining Oikawa on the roof* ...so...
<OikawaNishimaru> Hi....
<OikawaNishimaru> did we come at a bad time?
<HappyLittleMoron> Heh...nah...somethin's always goin' on here...*shrugs* Part o' why rent's so low...
<Wing> *trying to remember what he overherd when he followed shin all day yesterday*
<OikawaNishimaru> I see....
* ``Mitch pokes his head into the alleys he passes, and steps into one or two, shifting piles of garbage or glancing inside dumpsters
<HappyLittleMoron> What brings you here? Noticed yer friend carried a Chinese sword...
* `Wing` looks for any obvious signs of struggle
<OikawaNishimaru> Our ship crashed a while back and we've been looking for parts to repair it but it seems kind of impossible on this planet so we decided to find a place to live.
* HappyLittleMoron blinkblinks
<HappyLittleMoron> More aliens?
* ``Mitch frowns, and slowly sidesteps... smoglight glints off something hanging from a fire escape
<OikawaNishimaru> Indeed, and as for Marcus's sword, he uses it to cast spells...
<`Wing`> find anything?
<``Mitch> "What the... Wing, c'mere. Give me a boost." He pauses. "Shit. What's Japanese for 'please'?"
<HappyLittleMoron> Ohh...*shrugs* Works...I'd ask "where ya from" but I'm betting I've never heard of it...*smirks and rests against the ledge*
<`Wing`> kudasai...*gets up and goes over*
<OikawaNishimaru> I see
<``Mitch> "Kudasai. Kudasai..." Still muttering it, he steps up onto Wing's laced hands and stands, reaching and grabbing a hold of the fire escape from one hand... he tugs at something, twisting it free. "Okay, down-"
<OikawaNishimaru> I did notice your..... concern for your weapons as we signed in, I assure you that we mean no harm
<HappyLittleMoron> Oh...yeah...I know...y' didn't attack us on sight, so...*shrugs* Trust me, you're not the only ones sporting weapons...some of us have 'em built in..
<`Wing`> what is it?
* ``Mitch leans against the alley wall wearily, turning the tiny thing over in his hand. "It's... a dart, I guess. Weird. Dunno what it's doing here."
<`Wing`> may i see?
* OikawaNishimaru nods
<``Mitch> "Someone must have thrown it up into the fire escape hard enough to stab it into the rust. Yeah, sure." He hands it over.
* `Wing` takes a look at it
<`Wing`> hyprodermic.. high quality... probbaly soem kind of labratory work. I foudn soem tire tracks up the alley a ways.
<``Mitch> He shrugs, and walks to the mouth of the alley, folding his arms against the night chill and looking around.
<``Mitch> He glances back. "Hypo-what?"
<OikawaNishimaru> Your friend seemed awfully...... cauatious pointing that gun at us as we arrived
<`Wing`> liek when someon gives you a shot with a normal needle. its called a hyperdermic needle
<HappyLittleMoron> Uhm...yeah...that's Mitch...we jsut had another friend leave to investigate a scream we heard...we tend to have a lot of troubles...more as of late than usual...
* ``Mitch rubs his neck, coming over and taking a second look. "So what's a lab needle doing here? I mean, okay, if it was in the trash - but the fire escape?"
<OikawaNishimaru> really? I'm sorry to hear of that, if you need any help let me know.
<`Wing`> they missed their intended target
* HappyLittleMoron rubs her belly a little, a soft purr rising from the babies within, and grins a little1 Of course...it's probably just a matter of time...
* OikawaNishimaru raises an eyebrow* hmm?
<`Wing`> we should go back ot the asylum your wound wot heal well if your constantly on it... im sure my neechan knows soemthign or other about this
<HappyLittleMoron> Before another fight breaks out...
<OikawaNishimaru> I see
<``Mitch> "I'm not wounded-" .oO(Bullshit, your side's still leaking.) "-just totally shagged out. Go ahead - I'm going to look around for Mondo some more."
<`Wing`> i will carry you back if nessacery...dotn pull that go ahead il look around more ive aken plenty of that from Shinigami
* HappyLittleMoron shivers and blinks a little, closing her eyes for a few moments before sighing softly* Heh...I'm gonna head inside if you don't mind...these two are kinda rough on me...you're welcome to follow...
* OikawaNishimaru nods* I think I'll take you up on that offer. get to know some of the people
<``Mitch> He sighs wearily. "Wing, I just want to make sure he's not around here. I swear I'm not gonna pull any one-man-army bullshit."
* HappyLittleMoron nods..* Yeah...*heads for the door, counter-balancing her belly with her wings* We're not all that bad...just...strange.
<`Wing`> and as if you are nto tryign to do the same... look if i find anythign out ill take you with me.. not one of us does this alone
* OikawaNishimaru chuckles
<``Mitch> "Christ, man, hang with me if you want. Let's just make sure he's not somewhere nearby, okay?"
* `Wing` sighs leanign agaisnt the alley wall
<`Wing`> fine
* HappyLittleMoron holds the door for him with a smirk
* ``Mitch does a sweep two blocks around, poking and prying - he honestly is just making sure Mondo isn't nearby :P
* OikawaNishimaru follows
* HappyLittleMoron heads down the stairs starting a fire up in the fireplace and curling on the couch, her wings arched a little around herself
<``Mitch> Absent-mindedly. "Neechan?"
<`Wing`> Sister
<`Wing`> Oniichan is big brother.. shes younger then I by 8 hours
<``Mitch> .oO(Don't see much use for that one.)
<`Wing`> true.. its only hours but still.. she treets me sometimes like i am an older brother since i found her..otherwises shea pain in the ass
<``Mitch> He glances at him. "Found?"
<`Wing`> we were speerated a few months after we were born.. i foudn hr here a few years ago living on the streets with phnumonia and on the skidds.
<``Mitch> "You mean, six hundred years later?"
<`Wing`> No.. bout 6 years ago... we live the same normal life everyone does.. only we are reincarnated.. adn eventualy learn of our past when found by others like us
* ``Mitch nods, studying the ground... he shakes his head, and moves on. "Who found you? Or was it like, y'know, your eyes met across a crowded room and suddenly you were a god?"
<`Wing`> My mother died during child birth... and my father raised me untill i began to feel shin's mind when i slept... i idnt understand then untill one of my unckles told me of anancient stroy involving 5 guardians. i thought it was rubbish. but as the year went on i began to discover more and more of my abilities. i ran into another of my kind, Nataku.. and i remembered.. i spent the next 3 years serchign for my sister..
<`Wing`> when i foudn ehr she was livign off scraps in garbage cans behind restruants and slept on th roof of a bordello
<``Mitch> He rubs the back of his neck. "Another? How many are there?"
<`Wing`> five...
<`Wing`> as .. dorkey as it sounds each gains power from an element.. wind, water, earth, fire and the human spirit
<``Mitch> He shrugs, looking around. Muttered... "...I'm out of ideas." Aloud. "You'd be amazed what I'm taking seriously these days."
<`Wing`> i woudlnt be too suprised. the asylum changes a lot of people very fast.. heroisim seems a cominucable desease
* Calantha is still knocked out, wherever she is.. :P
<^Monisima^> hy
<``Mitch> He snorts. "I think the water heater gives people kung fu. Someone else claims it's making people pregnant, though, so maybe it's something else."
<`Wing`> .. you kow i jsut thought of soemthing.... i could attempt to find him telepathicaly... *mutters* she owudl ahve the right to call me baka at this point
<``Mitch> "Can you?" He blinks, then shrugs, taking a step back... grimacing, but straightening up.
<`Wing`> i can try....*closes his eyes*{{Mondo?}}
<Mondo_Gecko> *no answer*
<`Wing`> .. nada...but hes defiantly not anywhere close.. i brodcasted into jersey...and nothing but questioning minds
* ^Monisima^ wonders when she could possibly even think of joining this RP...>
<``Mitch> "You can reach JERSEY? Jesus Christ, you're like an FAA violation waiting to happen..."
<``Mitch> He shakes his head, rubbing his face. "He couldn't have left the island in that time, not without, y'know, one of those portal things. What does it mean if you can't reach him?"
<`Wing`> hes probably unconcious.. i cant get into an unconcious mind
<`Wing`> usualy shin jsut says scrw it and speaks though thier spirit... its annoyign when your atmeptign to make a doubble late and all of a sudden "ONIICHAN!''..........oi
<`Wing`> my co workers think im scitsophrenic
<``Mitch> "Fuck. Here we go again. Okay, let's get back before we get pulled into another world or something."
<`Wing`> *nods* adn you can get off your wound.
* ^Monisima^ sneaks into the asylum....
* HappyLittleMoron blinks, looking up when the ward is broken...
* ``Mitch starts back for the Asylum... "I'm not wounded, seriously. Just really, really fucking tired." He winces, and takes weight off the one leg. "And sore."
<`Wing`> right.. il meet you abck there
<``Mitch> "Oh? Where're you going?"
* `Wing` gets deeper into the llye way unfrling his wings and takign off into the air.. wil keep an eye on mitch from there
<`Wing`> up
<`Wing`> (OI my feet are killing me)
* ``Mitch just shakes his head, limping back to the place he's slowly beginning to call home
* ^Monisima^ looks around..walking quietly...
* HappyLittleMoron stands...unsheething her claws instinctively...heading to where she felt the ward broken...
* ^Monisima^ starts taking things and putting them in her pocket...
* Klork pushes the front door open..
* HappyLittleMoron spots Moni...unless she was sticking to shadows or something...? Clears her throat...
* ``Mitch waves to Klork, a little stiffly
* Klork blinks, looking over at Mitch
<Klork> Hey...how're you?
* ^Monisima^ blinks....looks up...stopping....
<``Mitch> "Sore. You didn't see Mondo around, did you?"
* HappyLittleMoron arches a brow* Hi.
* Klork shakes his head
<Klork> No..just got here .. *clears his throat, still a little sick*
* `Wing` circles the asylum before landing
<``Mitch> "Shit." He ruminates. "He's gone missing. Went to check out a scream... we can't find him. Wing tried, uh, telepath radar or something and got nowhere."
* ^Monisima^ quickly put the object she was holding behind her back...grinning nervously..sweatdropping
* Klork furrows his brow, then heads inside
<Klork> Great..
<HappyLittleMoron> Put itt down...
* Klork blinks, pausing...arching a brow at Moni..standing behind her..looking at HLM
<``Mitch> "Another day, another crisis..." He follows Klork inside, shrugging off his jacket with a hiss of some small pain.
* ``Mitch glances up, and freezes, jacket half-off.
* ^Monisima^ blinks...jumps around....and hops off to the side away from the new ppl
<Klork> What's goin on here ...? *has his hand on his hip, slowly tucking it into the waistline of his jeans*
<HappyLittleMoron> Lil' intruder here...*looks back to Moni*
* ^Monisima^ glances around..looking for an opening...
<Klork> Oh really .. DOn't take kindly to intruders ... Mitch, th' door?
* ``Mitch wearily shrugs the jacket on again, kicking the door closed and reaching behind him, shooting the bolt.
* ^Monisima^ narrows her eyes at them..
* Klork crosses his arms, brows arching as he looks pointedly at Moni* Care to explain yourself? You got a lot of nerve comin' in here -- stealin'.. put down what you picked up.
<HappyLittleMoron> So...who are you, what do you want...blahblahblah...I'd imagine you know the drill..
<``Mitch> .oO(Oh, thanks, Klork. Love ya too. "Intruders".)
* ``Mitch walks into the living room with a slight limp and picks up an AK-47 from where it's leaning against an end table... really... he cocks it, cradling it under one arm.
* ^Monisima^ sets the object back where she got it...but not talking
* HappyLittleMoron 's eyes glow slightly, waiting for her answere..
<Klork> We're waitin'. You better have a good explanation.
* ^Monisima^ crosses her arms..staying quiet
<``Mitch> .oO(Way to admit guilt, girl. You just blew it.)
* Klork sighs, shrugging a bit as he brings his arms up. Moments later a large electrical shield surrounds her, sparking now and then with blue electricity.* Two can play. You getta stay tl' you talk.
* HappyLittleMoron nods...
* ^Monisima^ blinks....taps her finger to the sheild
<Klork> *the shield laps electricity at her .. not enough to hurt, but enough to stun or lightly zap*
* ^Monisima^ pulls back quickly..holding her hand,,,glares at Klork...
* Klork glares back, his eyes sparking a blue tint
* HappyLittleMoron ...glares along with her hubby, eyes glowing a bright green, eyeing her energiesss
<Klork> *points to himself* No tolerance. *Points to Mitch w/ his gun* No tolerance. *points to HLM, eyes glowin'n' claws extended* No tolerance. Get the point yet?
* ^Monisima^ keeps glaring..her eyes turning from gold to fire red
<``Mitch> To HLM. "Well, this could take a while. Mondo's missing... Wing couldn't pick him up with the telepathy thing. Just vanished."
<HappyLittleMoron> ...aw man...
* Klork rubs at his upper arms, glancing over
<Klork> When'd he go missin'?
<``Mitch> "Christ, I dunno... twenty, thirty minutes? Something like that? Really recent."
<Klork> Wow .. no kiddin'? You sure he's not drunk somewhere?
<``Mitch> "No, not really. I don't suppose anyone here's got, y'know, a police scanner?"
* ^Monisima^ looks around the room...sees a handtowel....it soon bursts into flames
* Klork coughs into his hand, then arches a brow
<Klork> Oh so she wants to play...?
* ``Mitch blinks. "What the hell?"
* `Wing` comes down stairs in a clean shirt
<`Wing`> (least i dotn smell liek steamed milk anymore)
* HappyLittleMoron arches a brow, manafesting the flaming towel away..
* ``Mitch starts towards the kitchen to grab a fire extinguisher, then halts as it vanishes
* Klork forms a large ball of electricity between his hands* You seriously don't want to go down that road.
* ``Mitch touches his glasses, moving them down his nose and staring over them
<``Mitch> Aloud. "...bright red... yellow... strings..."
* HappyLittleMoron nods to Mitch
* Klork glances at Mitch
<Klork> Eh..?
<HappyLittleMoron> Her aura..
<Klork> Ah...*nods to HLM, ball of electricity still in hand*
<``Mitch> "Diana taught me a new trick."
<Klork> Really..?
* ^Monisima^ sighs...sits down on the floor w/ crossed legs...
<Klork> Do tell..
<``Mitch> "It's the water. I swear." He's still watching Moni over his glasses.
* Klork dissipates the electric ball, watching her
<Klork> You gonna talk yet?
* Rica comes down the stairs groggily..then blinks, shifting around the large sheild* Whoa, ok, what's going on ...?
* ^Monisima^ makes scorchmark drawing on the ground w/ her finger
<``Mitch> Muttered. "That's not coming out of my deposit."
* Klork kneels, pressing his fingers to the ground, electricity dancing across the floor towards her lightly* You gonna pay for the damage you cause, girl? Or are you gonna be civil and talk?
* HappyLittleMoron watches, standin' by her man
* Rica blinks, shaking her head* Great...I've walked in on another loonie breaking in, didn't I?
<``Mitch> To Rica. "Happens often, does it?"
<``Mitch> .oO(Would've thought the glamor thingy would've stopped it.)
* Rica nods* Yeah ... I can say a few names ... *muttered* I'd prefer not to though.
<``Mitch> "Well, this one's apparently a firebug. Probably dragged here by the Weird Shit Magnet in the basement, next to the Kung Fu Water Heater... christ..."
* ^Monisima^ crosses her arms...looking at you like she waiting for a specific question
* HappyLittleMoron smirks at that
* Rica arches a brow, then nods* Too bad Iye hasn't been around ...
* Klork watches her, crouched .. eyes narrowed* Why are you here.
* ^Monisima^ puts her hand in her pocket...holding up some small things she found around the room
* ``Mitch blinks, and lowers the AK-47 slightly.
<``Mitch> "Can you talk, girl?"
* Klork quirks a brow* Why'd you take what isn't yours.
* `Wing` goes over o the shield thingy kneeling by it
<`Wing`> whats your name little thief?
* VertigoFox walks down the street towards the asylum climbing the usual fire escape and entering through his usual window.
* ^Monisima^ ignores all the questions coming at once...
* VertigoFox hums along to the music playing on his headphones as he walks downstairs towards the kitchen
* ^Monisima^ puts the stuff back into her pocket
* Rica leans against the sheild .. it does seemingly nothing to those on the outside* You afraid?
* ^Monisima^ shakes her head
<`Wing`> Ne.. i asked what your name was*no tonnes of hostility towards the litle thief*
* Rica watches Wing casually, still leant against the sheild*
* Jaerlani comes out of her room with a yawn, headed for the kitchen for her usual early-night breakfast.
<VertigoFox> ::walks towards the kitchen humming and heads over to make himself a sandwitch::
* ^Monisima^ looks over at Wing...still has her red/orange eyes
* ^Monisima^ then looks at the sheild around her....
* `Wing` sits indian style really tryign not to act pissed though honestly he isnt
* Klork watches her, arms crossed
* `Wing` waves
* ^Monisima^ points at the shield...

* VertigoFox takes out the mayo some bread and some lettus and ham and begins putting it all together
* Klork arches a brow* Why?
* Rica pushes off the sheild oh, ya know, it's suck to fall if he did take the sheild down*
<`Wing`> shell talk then
<HappyLittleMoron> IF she doesn't run first.
<Klork> She hasnt talked before I put it up, why would she start now?
* VertigoFox takes his sandwitch and walks towards the neerest TV
<`Wing`> {{kindness is the greatest weapon}}
<`Wing`> {{if we are kind then maybe she will answer us}}
* Jaerlani notices the activity in the living room as she enters the kitchen, and she walks into the kitchen to see what is going on.
<Klork> {{Not always .. I find it hard to be kind with somebody who's stealin' what's not their own}}
* VertigoFox hops on to the floor infront of the TV and turns it on beginning to watch old cowboy and indian flicks
* ^Monisima^ ...waits..
<`Wing`> {[klork she is a child... trust me please?}}
<`Wing`> {{ive delt with a simmilar situation before.. onagai?}}
* Klork cross his arms, lowering it* She makes to run, it goes back up, got it? *eyes Moni*
<``Mitch> .oO(I really think she might be mute. Of course, who listens to the new guy?) He shrugs and reaches down, feeling more and more useless as the powers crop up, and snags his beer.
* Rica leans against the window, watching from a distance*
* ^Monisima^ sits there....looking up at all the ppl
* Rica sits, just watching quietly*
<Jaerlani> What is going on here?
* ^Monisima^ looks over at Jae...
* VertigoFox turns off the TV and walks back to the kitchen to wash his dishes
* ^Monisima^ wonders just how many ppl are IN this place...
<`Wing`> whats your name........can yu talk?
<``Mitch> To Jaerlani, hitching the AK up and leaning it on his shoulder as he eases himself into his chair, wincing a bit... "Burglar. Didn't burgle fast enough. All went downhill from there."
<Jaerlani> I see ...
<Jaerlani> What did she take?
* Jaerlani looks at the girl impassively.
<VertigoFox> ::comes out of the kitchen and into the conversation:: Yeah.. what DID she take. O_o
* ^Monisima^ ...nods..
<VertigoFox> ::scoules:: Better not have touched... my... my... oh yeah.. I don't have anything aside from my coat ^_^
* Rica watches, quiet*
<``Mitch> "Just some silverware from the kitchen." He shrugs. "Frankly, I'd let her go. But they keep wanting to interrogate her, and she keeps wanting to not be interrogated."
* ^Monisima^ shakes her head no
<VertigoFox> ::cocks his yead:: Waaait... i've GOT it!! O_O
* HappyLittleMoron bllnks at Vf...
* ``Mitch blinks at VF.
<`Wing`> can you tell me your name?
<VertigoFox> ::looks at ``Mitch and HappyLittleMoron:: She took... SILVERWARE.. right?
* Klork sighs...arching a brow at VF
<VertigoFox> ::smiles and raises his hand:: She's a MAGNET!! ^__^
* HappyLittleMoron blinks
<VertigoFox> ::looks back at the flesh being:: Oh.. wait... are you a magnet? O-o
<``Mitch> To Moron. "I take it he's the reason this place is called the Asylum."
* Rica groans* Good grief--silver isn't magnetic..is it?
* ^Monisima^ thinks....puts her finger back to the floor...starting to write...M...
<Jaerlani> .oO(Obviously she is a magnet for attention.)
* Klork groans, sliding her a paper pad and a pencil
<`Wing`> why not?
<VertigoFox> ::scouls:: I am not insain.. >_< I'm just ... um...ok I'm insain.. well tonight atleast ^_^
<Klork> Please, we gotta pay for those carpets..
* HappyLittleMoron chuckles at Mitch...
<Jaerlani> .oO(Such a poor thief ... caught by everyone in the house, all at once.)
<``Mitch> To VF. "Mitch Williams."
* ^Monisima^ looks at the paper and pencil
* Calantha slowly blinks her eyes open, her surroundings blurry
<VertigoFox> ^Monisima^ it isn't that you don't want to talk.. but you -can't-. You can't talk can you?
* ^Monisima^ takes the pencil..writes a sloppy "Monisima" on it
<Jaerlani> Can't someone here read her thoughts?
* ``Mitch shakes his head. "I tried mentioning that half an hour ago. Everyone had better ideas about what to ask."
<VertigoFox> Has she tried to kill anybody yet?
<`Wing`> Monisima.. thats a good name
<``Mitch> "A towel gave its life for the cause."
<Jaerlani> If she has, then she is truly harmless.
* HappyLittleMoron watches 'n listens..
* Calantha manages to focus on the bars of a cage, still fuzzy-headed
<Calantha> .oO(Great.. just great)
<VertigoFox> Well, then let's try something interesting ::he walks right up next to her and offers a paw:: Hi there! I'm VertigoFox. ~^_^~
* Klork does so as well, quiet
<`Wing`> would you like to go somewhere with less people?
<``Mitch> He stands slowly, shaking his head. "I'm gonna go sleep or something."
* Rica groans* Good greif people, do you all gotta talk at once..??
* ^Monisima^ looks at VF....blinks..
<``Mitch> .oO(Christ, I know I'm new, but you'd think I could at least get their attention long enough to... hell. What'd you expect.)
<VertigoFox> ::keeps smiling:: Aww, don't wanna shake? That's ok. ^_^
* Calantha slowly sits up, looking around
* ^Monisima^ ..puts her hand up
<Jaerlani> It seems she may not understand English, either.
* ``Mitch just heads upstairs
<VertigoFox> ::slowly accepts the hand pausing to see if it's ok with her::
<`Wing`> {[I jsut htink there are TOO MANY PPL here.....}}
<`Wing`> <--- irked
* Mondo_Gecko slowly starts to wake up..his head is swimming with images of things that may or may not be..colors...patterns...lights..and sounds...music and voices....
* ^Monisima^ doesn't move her hand away
* Rica nods to Wing, hearing that ... but unable to respond*
<VertigoFox> ::shakes her hand slowly and smiles:: Hello there. ^_^ Monisima, right? That is a nice name. ::releases his hand and sits down:: Personally I don't much like my name.
* ^Monisima^ 's hand felt kinda hot
* ^Monisima^ just watches VF
<VertigoFox> ..you... have quite the nice.. grip. Are your hands always warm like that? ^-^
* Rica watches quietly, kneeling by Wing and whispering* <vqw> Maybe you could talk Klork into opening a portal somewhere .. less crowded?
* ^Monisima^ blinks....looks at her hand....
<`Wing`> keep an eye on her vert...*gets up going into the kitchen.. grabbign soem fruits and snak foods*
* Calantha takes a shaky breath, looking around the room for Mondo, wondering if they caught him as well
* A voice overhead somewhere speaks* Subject is waking up..all signs normal...
* ^Monisima^ shrugs
<VertigoFox> ::smiles and laughs:: It's ok. I probably just have cold paws or something. I was just outside.
* Mondo is laying on a table, strapped down by metal cuffs..
* Klork watches, brows arched
<Calantha> *w* oh no...
* `Wing` comes back out with soem food
<VertigoFox> ::ears perk up as he smiles warmly to Monisima:: Can I ask you a question? You don't gotta answer it. I'm just curious.
* ``Mitch shuts the door to his room and locks it, shaking his head as he leans the AK against the dresser
* ^Monisima^ 's eyes change from the fire color back to it's original gold
* HappyLittleMoron uhm...ends up wandering off when the lovely dizzy-spell takes affect (as good an excuse as any)
* ^Monisima^ nods slowly...
* Calantha crawls groggily to the bars of the cage, looking around for the lab techs, then back to Mondo to see how bad off he is
* Mondo_Gecko swallows, his throat feeling thick..
* Rica sits, frowning a bit. She pauses long enough to pull off her glasses, wiping at them with her shirt* <q> stupid smudge...
<VertigoFox> ::smiles:: Thank you. Do you want to run away right now? ^_^
* Klork blinks going over to HLM
* ^Monisima^ glances at all the ppl around her....sweatdrops....then looks back at VF...
* Klork follows HLM then .. forgetting about sheild stuffs
* Mondo_Gecko gives a soft reptilian cry
<Mondo_Gecko> .oo(help!...someone? .............anyone?)
<VertigoFox> ::smiles:: It's ok to say yes. Don't worry. ^_^ I'll keep to yes or no questions, since you seem to like them. ^-^
* `Wing` sits down putting the food down slidign the place closer to Moni
* ^Monisima^ shrugs..
* ^Monisima^ looks at the food....
<``Mitch> .oO(What'd you expect, Morgan? They don't need your help. They're above that shit. They don't need to listen to someone like you.) He sighs, and dumps the bag out on the bed, sorting through the textbooks. .oO(Why'd you believe they ever would?)
<`Wing`> go ahead
<VertigoFox> ::smiles and follows her gaze:: Are you hungry? Would you like something? I'm not a master Chef but I can wip up a good sandwitch. ^_^
* Jaerlani watches, standing behind VF and keeping silent.
* ^Monisima^ takes foods in both hands...taking big bites out of them eating quickly..trying to swallow it
* RicaChica watches, leaning against the wall..quiet
* Calantha looks over the cage, eyeing the lock
<Calantha> .oO(Wonder if they've gotten a better one..)
<VertigoFox> ::laughs slightly and smiles:: A hungry girl arn't we. Well, eat until you're full. I won't bother you any more until you are.
* Calantha glares at the technicians, giving a low growl
* ^Monisima^ keeps eating..kinda messily
<`Wing`> vertigo can you take care of her for a while?
* one thin balding man stands over Mondo, seperating his glassy eyes, shining a penlight into then and it's echoed by a loud SCREE!! his tail lashing out and swishing loudly, a tray of metal tools clattering loudly to the floor!
* RicaChica slides a few napkins over, silent .. face expressionless
<VertigoFox> ::walks and grabs himself a glass of coke and returns:: Sure wing. Honistly, I don't think she needs taking care of. She's rather nice though, don't you think ^_^
<`Wing`> yes if treated so..
* Jaerlani sits down on the couch, watching the girl.
* RicaChica pulls her glasses off, rubbing at her temples
* `Wing` heads upstairs to his siters room serchign for a little hand held mirror...finds Sajak's note book first before the mirror
* ^Monisima^ ...blinks at the napkins....
<VertigoFox> ::grabs one and hands it to Monisima sipping his coke:: Would you like a napkin? ^_^
* RicaChica snifs, her nose rather plugged* Damn .. think I caught Klork's cold..*blinks, looking at Moni ..then wipes at her own mouth with one ... to indicate there's food on Moni's mouth*
* Calantha looks out at the tools, snatching one with her tail to aid in lockpicking later
* ``Mitch flicks off his glasses, and rubs his eyes... he sighs... and glances up... slowly, he puts on his glasses - the other photograph of Diana sitting in the middle of diagrams on the wall meeting his eyes
* Sajak rubs his temples. .oO(Geeze, I know I left it here somewhere ...)*
<``Mitch> .oO(She's probably asleep.)
* ^Monisima^ takes the can...
* `Wing` pockits it and decides to finish hsi sisters buisness.. and maybe ask this Sajak where mondo migh tbe...
<VertigoFox> ::blinkblinks:: Well, ok. ^_^ Enjoy ::grabs another for himself::
* `Wing` coems down stairs grabbign his coat and heading out to talk to this guy
* ^Monisima^ opens it and drinks....glancing at Rica for a sec
* the man jumps back quickly as the sound rings out through the labratory,shattering the silence*
<Mondo_Gecko> *SCREEEEE!*
<``Mitch> .oO(But I guess it can't hurt to find out... christ, you dumb fuck, you just went through this. You think she wants to talk to you?)
<``Mitch> He looks at the photograph for a long moment.
* Mondo_Gecko strains against the cold metal table, arching his back upward
* RicaChica looks up at Moni, face pinching up as she sneezes into her hand..eyes a little wide and sheepish in reaction* Heh..s'cuse me...
<``Mitch> .oO(Maybe not if she's asleep. But... yeah. Just maybe.)
* Calantha tries to clear her head, watching Mondo
<VertigoFox> ::peeks over to Rica and offers a tissue:: Bless you. ^_^
* ^Monisima^ sets the can down....hiccups....some steam coming from her mouth
* ``Mitch pushes himself up wearily and grabs the paperback, limping out into the hall and slowly making his way upstairs
<Calantha> .oO(I can't believe I got him into this..)
<VertigoFox> ::smiles at Monisima:: Was it good? ^_^
* ^Monisima^ nods
* RicaChica smirks, taking it to blow her nose* <muffled behind the tissue* Thangs Bert..
* Mondo_Gecko writhes up and down on the table, looking mad, he can barely open his mouth, muzzled tightly
<VertigoFox> ::smiles and ears perk a bit:: I'm glad. ^_^
<VertigoFox> May I ask some more questions?
* ^Monisima^ looks at VF...
* Calantha uses the diversion Mondo is making as a chance to slip over to the lock and begin working on it
* ``Mitch shuffles to Diana's room, and knocks on the doorframe - very gently, not wanting to wake her if she's asleep.
<Mondo_Gecko> The scientist backs away, and other one comes up to take his place.. his hair is going grey, his nose is long..eyes a cold blue: Now now..Shawn...goodness..all this fuss over nothing...
* Diana mms a little, ahving been coming to to begin with, voice still groggy* Ne...come in...
<VertigoFox> To ^Monisima^ Can you talk? Like, are you able to? ^_^
* ^Monisima^ shakes her head....
<Calantha> .oO(Shawn.. Well at least I know his name now)
* Calantha works carefully on the lock, hearing an almost inaudible *click*
<VertigoFox> ::smiles and stands up:: That's ok ^_^ Can you write? ^_^
* Mondo_Gecko 's eyes widen, his fearful sobbing and panting slowing.. watching the Dr over him
* ^Monisima^ nods slowly..
<Dr Thomas> ..we just want to administer a few ..tests...
* ``Mitch opens the door a crack... quietly, "Did I wake you?"
* Kameko wanders downstairs with an empty plate of food, worried look on her face as she goes towards the kitchen
<VertigoFox> Can you read? ^_^
* Diana yawns a little, then wincees* Iie...was...waking up already...
* RicaChica waves to Kame as she goes, coughing off to the side in her hand
* ^Monisima^ ..nod slowly again
<Dr Thomas> ..I'm sure your tired after this evening....would you like to see your new home?
<VertigoFox> ::smiles:: That's good ^_^ So, you took silverware.. right?
* Kameko waves a bit, then furrows her brow
<Calantha> .oO(New home? I think not, you creep!)
<Kameko> You feelin' okay, Rica?
* RicaChica smirks, sniffling ... the sound plugged* Hn? Yeah, bad cold is all.
* ^Monisima^ starts pulling all sorts of things outta her deep pockets..all metal objects...sets them on the floor
* Kameko smiles sympathetically
* Jaerlani watches Monisima with interest.
<VertigoFox> ::smiles and watches:: Those are nice. Do you like metal?
<Kameko> I'm sorry to hear that.. want some tea?
* they unhook the cuffs on the table, and Mondo finds how weak he is...his legs and arms feeling like jello
<Kameko> I'm on my way out to the kitchen anyway.. I need to make Rislyn some dinner..
<RicaChica> M...tea..yeah...green?
* Kameko smirks
<Kameko> What else?
<``Mitch> "Okay... I'm turning on the lights, watch your eyes-"
* ^Monisima^ nods
* Kameko heads in, getting some water for green tea, as well as making a plate of dinner for Rislyn
* Mondo_Gecko 's claws scrape the ground, making click click noises on the shiny tiled floor
* Diana nods alittle, closing her eyes*
<VertigoFox> ::smiles:: Can you tell me why you like metal? Is there a reason?
<Calantha> .oO(We'll get out of here.. Just don't know if I can take those lab techs right now)
* ``Mitch flicks them on as he comes in, pulling up the chair and settling down stiffly, exhaling slowly
* Diana slowly opens her eyes, then blinks a little* ....are you alright?
* ^Monisima^ picks up a fork...the fork starts melting in her hand..glowing red
* Jaerlani's eyes widen as Monisima melts the fork.*
<VertigoFox> ::smiles and applauds:: Wow! That is NICE! Very impressive ^__^
* Calantha gives Mondo a deeply sympathetic look
* they pull him into a small metal bottomed cage with a water dish in the side, shoving him inside as he struggles to get free, finnaly landing on his knees and a loud slam is hear behind him..when he turns around he'd face to face with the Dr.*
<``Mitch> "A little sore... things got kinda rough last night. I had to drag Aria across town."
* Mondo_Gecko doesn't even see Calantha
* Diana blinks* What happened...?
<VertigoFox> ::pats himself on the chest:: I can't do anything nearly that impressive. I can do little things, but nothing that impressive. ^_^
<VertigoFox> Did you teach yourself to do that?
<Dr> ..Shawn...you must understand....your ours...*he gives a dark smiles* You see...it's our chemical that created you..and we own you..we own your DNA..I'm sure you understand that
* ^Monisima^ puts it in her other hand...picks up another fork....starts melting that one....adding it to the other fork...starting to form a small ball....nods
* Kameko finishes with the tea stuffs, then heads out, handing Rica her cup and then saying she's going to take Rislyn her dinner upstairs .. going on up to do so
* Calantha growls
<``Mitch> "I really don't know... some Brazilian fuck came in with a pair of bricks and drained away some of her, her aura, her energy I guess... a couple of the others showed up and tussled with him while I got her out."
<VertigoFox> ::watches intently curious as to why she is forming a metal ball out of the asylum's silverware::
* The Dr jumps back quickly as a sharp taloned hand lashed out with an angry reptilian cry and he laughs a little* ..you'd better calm down..your going to exhaust yourself...
* RicaChica takes the cup, thanking Kame
<RicaChica> thanks..
* RicaChica watches Moni as well
* Diana blinks and furrows her brows* Ah...
* ^Monisima^ adds some more....making a ball about the size of her palm...hold up the ball..
<VertigoFox> ::smiles:: That's very nice. Why did you make a ball? ::motions to the pad of paper and pencil::
* RicaChica furrows her brow, glasses fogging up as she sips her tea 1 So why do you make those..?
* RicaChica blinks at Vert, then chuckels ..the sound is scratched
* Mondo_Gecko slumps down against the back of the cage..not having enough energy to move anymore..not even to keep his eyes open..heavy sedatives coarsing though his veins..
* Jaerlani gets up from the couch and goes into the kitchen to eat.
<``Mitch> "She's still resting." He shakes his head. "Now everyone's downstairs handling some intruder..." His lip twitches, less of a smile and more of a curl. "I wasn't needed, so, well... I'm sure everything's okay down there."
<``Mitch> "Oh." Then he looks up, suddenly sobering and losing his self-pity.
* ^Monisima^ takes the pencil....it bursts into flames
* Kameko takes Rislyn her food upstairs .. coming back down and looking more than a little irritated
<VertigoFox> ::quickly pats out the pencil's fire so it doesn't catch::
<``Mitch> "Tomodachi... gomen nasai... Mondo's missing. He went out to investigate a scream and... we couldn't find him."
* RicaChica looks at Kame* You ok..?
<VertigoFox> Wow, if you were to touch me, I'd probably burst into flames...
<VertigoFox> ::smiles and offers a paw:: Care to try? ::smiles yet his ears become a bit flatter::
* ^Monisima^ waves her hands...cooling them off
* Kameko sighs, sitting down next to Rica and nodding, muttering a bit
* ^Monisima^ blinks...
<Kameko> Yeah.. just Rislyn..she's refusing to come downstairs .. I mean, the girl won't even EAT.. says she hcan't come downstairs..
* Diana blinks at him...brows furrowed...*
* Calantha looks around for a moment, then slips the lock off the cage, quietly opening the door and slipping out
* RicaChica furrows her brow
<RicaChica> Who's Rislyn?
<``Mitch> "Wing tried finding him with his telepathic radar thing, and couldn't locate him anywhere."
* `Wing (last i remember) was off to talk to sajak.. gets ot the poliece station
* Diana sighs a little, shifting up a little in the bed with a wince, the strap of her tank top falling over her shoulder* Gods...I...hope he's ok...
<Kameko> Ehh..new girl in the place.. Like..*sighs* I dunno what she is, but, then again, that shouldn't surprise you here.
* ^Monisima^ holds her hand out to VF..
* Kameko smirks a little at that before leaning back, continuing
* Calantha quickly moves to Mondo's cage, looking him over, then working on the lock of his cage
* Sajak turns over in his bed, his lips moving a little as he dreams happily away.
<Kameko> Oh.. and don't take her seriously if she hits on you. She says she's a lesbian, but she's not.
<VertigoFox> ::smiles:: You're going to have to take my hand. That is, if you want to. ^-^
* RicaChica blinks, sipping her tea, having to look at Kame over her glasses they're so fogged
<RicaChica> Ah, I'm happy with Correy as is *smirks*
* Kameko waves her hand a little, as if to say "forget it"
* Mondo_Gecko whines in the back of his throat, his heart thumping in his chest, hearing noises...back again..they're back
* ^Monisima^ grabs his hand....they are still very hot
<``Mitch> *doesn't even notice - that's how sore he is* "I'm sure he's okay... he must be... just..." Words fail him.
* `Wing frowns when he finds hes not in...goes into an alley looking at the notebook for his address
<Kameko> Anyway.. she kinda went all crazy a few days ago.. like, turned into a harpy, and attacked everyone.
* Diana sighs a little and rubs her eyes a little* I wish I could search for him...
* The address is printed clearly inside the cover.*
<VertigoFox> ::winces a bit and trys to stay smiling:: Quite hot ::his ears are flat upon his head fur being singed on his hand::
* RicaChica arches her brows, sipping* Ah..fun..
<`Wing> predictable.
* ^Monisima^ pulls her hand back
* `Wing goes to that address just teleportign there almost directly
* ^Monisima^ scratches her head
<``Mitch> "If he doesn't show up soon, the crew'll go looking. You won't help him by making your health worse, Diana..."
<Kameko> ..although.. what she said makes sense now.. OH geeze..
* The house is dark when Wing arrives, all lights turned out. The only noise is the splashing of an aquarium filter.*
* Kameko holds up a hand..then blips out, coming back a few minutes later
* Diana nods with a sigh* Hai...I know...it's still frustrating..
<RicaChica> Wha-huh? *blinks*
<VertigoFox> ::brings his back and blows on it between breaths gasping "hot hot hot hot":: Wow ::shakes his hand as he grabs a bowl and fills it with cold water and puts his paw in it:: You are quite the hottie, rather literally ::smiles and giggles slightly at his "joke:: ^_~
* Kameko sits back down, holding a book and reading it, pointing to a spot and then showing Rica
* `Wing stays as quiet as he can looking for sajak
<Kameko> Here... harpies.. they live to kill MEN.. I GET it now!
* Calantha does her best to pick the lock with the tools around her
* RicaChica blinks, watching
<Kameko> She was part harpy--fer cryin' out loud, I wonder if Kevley knows..
* ``Mitch quietly rubs his side with one hand, half-hidden behind the back of the chair. "I'm sorry."
<RicaChica> Uh..ok...? *blinks, shrugging* Haven't seen him around..
* Kameko shakes her head
<Kameko> Yeah..I haven't, either.. but apparently, they're an 'item' even though she swears she's still a lesbian.
* ^Monisima^ watches VF w/ a fanggrin
* Kameko looks over at Rica
* Diana nods with a little sigh* It's alright...*furrows her brow* Have you been taking care of yourself...?
<Kameko> I think..he should know...ya know?
* RicaChica quirks a brow, nodding
* `Wing also looks around at the stuff in Sajak's appartment
<VertigoFox> ::takes a metal titanium space pen from his pocket:: Would you like this? You can use it to write, it isn't as easy to melt... though I'm sure you could, please don't? ::offers it to ^Monisima^::
<RicaChica> Yeah..but it's a matter of where he is to tell him, isn't it..?
* Kameko nods, rubbing at her the bridge of her nose with her fingers
<``Mitch> "Yeah... I've been careful." .oO(But I can't say the same for other people.)
* ^Monisima^ takes it....
<Kameko> Yeah...that proves to be a problem.. I haven't seen him, and have no idea WHERE to start looking..
* ^Monisima^ looks at VF...
* RicaChica nods, sniffing when her sinuses begin to clear a bit
<RicaChica> Yeah .. good point..
<VertigoFox> ::smiles:: I've asked quite a lot of questions, is there anything you'd like to ask me? ^_^
* Diana nods a little* Is there anything I can do...?
<Kameko> Tea helping?
* ^Monisima^ shrugs...
* The apartment has a decent hardwood floor with some worn rugs. The furniture is aging but in good repair. Everything is in relatively good order, but the place looks lived in.*
* Kameko smiles, curling up a bit on the couch
<``Mitch> "Just kind of need to crash for a few days, I think. Maybe try that hot tub. Mrs. Happy seems to think it helps... I dunno, I've never tried something like that."
* RicaChica nods
* ^Monisima^ scratches her head again
<RicaChica> as good as it can help *smirks* Thanks, I really appreciate it
<Kameko> Anytime, and I mean that.
* Kameko pauses...
* Diana chuckles softly* Oh...hai it does...it will do you wonders...
<Kameko> I wonder if Ris wants any...hrm... I'll be right back..
* Kameko heads out into the kitchen, taking a cup up to Rislyn's room
* `Wing looks for soemthign resembling a bedroom.. accidently knockign into a table in the dark
* The bedroom is easy to find, situated just off the kitchen which borders the entryway.*
* Kameko comes back, just looking concerned this time
<VertigoFox> ::smiles and looks around:: So, do you have a place to stay?
* ^Monisima^ wipes food that's still on her mouth w/ her sleeve
* RicaChica blinks
* `Wing wlaks in.. checking for more then one body in bed...
* ^Monisima^ shakes her head
<RicaChica> What's up now, Kame?
* Sajak is laying in bed with a woman with short red hair. Both appear to be soundly asleep.
<Kameko> ...Now I'm just worried... she said she's not going to come out of the room when there are men around... and since a time when there are none is very few and far between.. she's NEVER gonna come down..
* RicaChica frowns a bit
<RicaChica> Sounds sucky..
<VertigoFox> ::smiles:: Would you like one? ^_^ We have some rooms free I'm sure. And I think HLM will let you stay here. They let me stay and I tried to kill them, I don't see why they wouldn't let you stay. ^_^
* Kameko chuckles a bit
<Kameko> yeah... I'd go nuts if I couldn't see Angelo after we'd started sle--heh... well, you get the point.
* `Wing mutters an obsenity(or 4) castign silence and on the entire palce so no oen can hear outside the wals and lock on everythign too.. before turning on the lights
<Kameko> I figure it's gotta drive you insane when Correy's not here.
<VertigoFox> ::smiles:: You will have to refrane from melting our silverware though... because... otherwise we won't have any left. ^_^
* ^Monisima^ blinks....
* RicaChica chuckles, blinking before nodding a bit..
<RicaChica> Yeah..which is often..*smiles faintly*
* Calantha hears the lock click, and smiles, pulling it off and opening the door to Mondo's cage
* ^Monisima^ smiles
<``Mitch> "I might give it a shot, then." He half-stands, then sits again. "Oh! I almost- I was in a bookstore yesterday, and, well... here, I hope this'll help keep you, y'know, not so bored." He picks up the paperback and hands it to her - Small Gods, by Terry Pratchett. "It looked out-of-the-ordinary enough to be worth a shot."
<Kameko> So where's he at now?
* RicaChica shrugs
* Kameko sits back down on the couch, pulling one leg up to hold her knee
* The woman rolls over with a soft, 'Hmm?' blinking one eye open with her arm blocking the light from her face. Sajak does not react.*
<RicaChica> Dunno ... I haven't seen him for a long time..*sighs, frowning* I should probably look for him ...
* Diana blinks and chuckles softly* Domo...I hear he's a wonderful author...
<`Wing> Agent Sajak I presume
<Kameko> "Look for him?" You think he's in trouble?
* RicaChica shrugs
* ^Monisima^ trows the ball up..catching...repeating..
* `Wing casts a sleeping spell on the woman
* Mondo_Gecko skitters to the back of the cage, his claws clicking on the metal wildly, his eyes wide and frightened
<`Wing> gomen nansai onna
<RicaChica> I have no clue sometimes..*smiles* A texan in New York doesn't bode well .. especially one that looks like he could be hidin' a rifle under his coat..
* The woman's eyes widen just before Wing casts the spell. As he casts, her eyes close and she settles back onto the bed.*
<Calantha> *w* Shh.. it's ok.. I'm getting you out of here
* Mondo_Gecko calms down, trying to focus his eyes on the dark shape
<``Mitch> "Dunno, I'm not a big reader." .oO(Or much of one at all.) "It's something to do while you recuperate, though."
<VertigoFox> ::Smiles and watches the ball:: Alright. Then I'll just assume you'll stay as a resident for a while. That's great. ^_^ Just take an open room. I'll try to work things out with HLM ^_^ if you don't mind, right now, I'd like to go up to the roof and watch the stars. I like to do that at night ^^ ::smiles and gets up. He slowly walks to the stairs and towards the roof::
* Diana nods a little* Hai...I really appreciates it...
* Mondo_Gecko tries to move his arms, pushing up, but unsure if they rise or not
* `Wing tosses the notebook at sajak's hea knowign the woman will be ou for hours
* Sajak rolls over, swatting with his arm as the notebook slides off his head.
* Sajak sits up quickly, 'Huh?'
<Calantha> *w* you need help? did they hurt you?
* Sajak blinks in the light, squinting at Wing.
<``Mitch> "Not a problem... lemme know if it's good, I'll see if the guy wrote anything else."
<`Wing> Good Morning Sajak...
<Sajak> What the hell?
* Diana chuckles softly* Hai...
* Sajak starts to turn to reach for something, then stops, turning back to face Wing, shrinking back a bit.
<Sajak> You're a mutant, aren't you.
* `Wing is standing at the foot of the bed
* ^Monisima^ starts putting stuff back into her pockets
<`Wing> you were not at the station... and the address was inside the notebook...
<`Wing> I am Shinigami's brother Wing
* ^Monisima^ stands up...walks out..wanders around....
* Sajak looks over at the woman next to him and looks her over a moment, looking at first concerned and then relieved.
* RicaChica nudges Kame
<RicaChica> You there?
* ``Mitch pushes himself up again, leaning on the back of the chair as he stands. "Speaking of which - I'll let you get back to, y'know, the recuperating..."
<VertigoFox> ::gets onto the roof and lies down staring at the stars and humming a song::
* ^Monisima^ picks up any metal object she sees along the way
<Sajak> So you walk into my bedroom in the middle of the night to give it back?
<`Wing> i put here to sleep with a harmless spell shellwake up a bit groggy
<Sajak> I'm a patient man, but as a human I have LIMITS!
<`Wing> no.. i want to knwo what you know of Shawn... you spoke ot my sister about it yesterday
<`Wing> it is a matter of life or death
* Kameko blinks, then nods a little
* RicaChica arches a brow at Moni then shakes her head* Great ... that worked well...
<Sajak> SHAWN?! *mutters, looking over at the sleeping woman.*
<Kameko> yeah..sorry.. was just thinking that I thought I saw him the other day, actually..
<Kameko> I just..can't remember where..
<Sajak> (With a bit of venom) Why don't you ask Shin?
* Diana blinks* Ne...you can stay if you want to...it looks like you need some rest as well...
* ^Monisima^ doesn't know where any of the rooms are.....keeps walking
<RicaChica> Oh..?? *looks concerned* You're sure..?
<`Wing> Because she is missing
<`Wing> ( a lie oh well)
<Sajak> She is missing?
* Sajak scowls.
<Kameko> Yeah, it's hard to miss Irvine when he walks around. *winks*
<VertigoFox> ::walks back downstairs remembering he's an idiot he trys to find Monisima again::
<`Wing> hai...
* RicaChica chuckles
<Sajak> Hai ...
<Sajak> I take it that means yes.
<`Wing> *nods* you were the last person she talekd to
* Sajak rolls his eyes.
<RicaChica> So .. can't recall where you saw him huh..? *her tone goes worried again*
<Sajak> Well then someone is creating a rather nice collection of mutants.
* Sajak sighs.
<`Wing> she disappeared lastnight.. and Shawn disappeared today there were tire tracks and this*holds out the dart* at the scene
* Mondo_Gecko tries to speak, but can't, a thick leather muzzle on his face
<Sajak> Someone else came to see me last night.
* ^Monisima^ picks up more things...shoves them in her pocket...
<Sajak> A woman named ... *slaps a hand over his forehead, thinking*
<``Mitch> .oO(You're telling me.) "Yeah, kinda, but I'll be okay-" He turns towards the door and stumbles, falling against it with a muffled half-cry and a heavy thump.
<VertigoFox> ::trys to follow the sound of metal being picked up::
<Kameko> But..I just don't remember where it was at..I want to say that it was down around MTV studios..but --no, in fact I KNOW it was around there, because some gangster guy was there, and he looked like he was trying to avoid the "g" wannabe's..
* ^Monisima^ stands there....looking on where to go
<Calantha> *w* lemme help with that.. *she crawls over to him, slipping her hands up to remove the muzzle*
<Sajak> Lisa. I think it was Lisa. I didn't get her last name.
* RicaChica arches her brows
<RicaChica> Did he look ... ok?
<Sajak> Why don't we stop here and return the notebook, 'k?
* Kameko blinks .. then shrugs a little
* Diana sits up ssuddenly* Itai...Mitch??? Ne...you sit down here some more...
* Sajak holds out his hand towards Wing.
<Kameko> Other than desperate to get away from the crowds...I dunno..
<Mondo_Gecko> *w* who are you
<VertigoFox> ::catches up with ^Monisima^ and smiles:: hey again.. sorry, I forgot to show you the rooms. Wanna follow me and I'll hook you up with one?
* Sajak looks down sheepishly as he sees the notebook sitting on the bed.
<`Wing> I already did its on your floor.. i threw it at you to wake you up
<Kameko> But..I guess he looked kinda..worse for wear..at least compared to how I've seen him before..
* ^Monisima^ folloes VF
* Sajak mutters and picks up the notebook.
* RicaChica frowns a bit, rubbing at her chin
<``Mitch> "-son of a b-" He just stays there for a moment, slumped against the door, then turns his head to glance at her a little sheepishly. "Itai?"
<RicaChica> I think I'm gonna go look for him...*stands, pulling on her coat and a baseball cap* Thanks..
<Calantha> *w* My name's Cala.. you came to my rescue, so now I'm coming to yours
* Kameko nods, looking up at her
<`Wing> plesse tell me... i can take what i want from you. but i dont want to sink to such a barbrous meathod
<Kameko> Sure..you want someone to come with you..?
<Sajak> I don't know where Shawn is. I didn't know where he was when Lisa was looking for him last night, I didn't know he came home, and I certainly don't know where he is now.
* Mondo_Gecko swallows and shuts his eyes, a tear slipping down his cheek
* Diana gasps softly, leaning back, her ribs still in bad shape* It means "ouch" Come...please...sit back down...recharge a little...?
<VertigoFox> ::takes ^Monisima^ over to one of the vacant rooms on the same floor as his and opens the door:: here you go. I hope this is acceptable, if it isn't we can find another... but.. they are all the same. So.. um.. yeah ^_^ ::sweatdrops smiles::
<Mondo_Gecko> *w* there's a way out? ...they did something to me....it's hard to move..
<``Mitch> "Oh... oh shit, tomodachi, kudasai - don't move..."
<`Wing> there had to be something.. she came to you for a reason.. and that dart has soemthign to do with either a medical or scientific manufacture..
* ^Monisima^ walks in...looks at it....goes to the bed...pushes on it..finding it soft...pushes on it again...
* RicaChica shrugs to Kame..
<RicaChica> If' you want, I could use the eyes whilst I drive.
* Kameko smirks, going over to pull on her coat
* Diana watches him with concern, brows knit*
<Kameko> No problem. S'not safe to go out alone at night, anyway.
<Sajak> Alright ... hand me the dart.
* RicaChica smirks, heading out, turning the alarm off her jeep
<Sajak> (Muttering) She's gonna kill me in the morning. *glances at the woman next to him*
* `Wing hands sajak the dart
* Sajak looks over the dart.
<RicaChica> I hope you don't mind that I don't have a small bubble car or something
<`Wing> whoever it was that abducted shawn knew exactly what they were doing including the dosage of the sedative
<VertigoFox> ::smiles and watches for a second. He walks in a bit and tosses the key onto the bed:: don't melt that, it's important. You need it for your room. ::smiles and he turns around:: good night for now ::he slowly walks out of ^Monisima^'s new room and back in the direction of the stairs::
<Calantha> *w* I've been here before.. we've gotta get out of here before they do something worse..
* ``Mitch hauls himself up and limps to the chair, settling back in with a hiss of pain and folding arms over the back of it, leaning his head down
* Kameko arches a brow and grins
<Mondo_Gecko> *w* what are they gonna do??
<Kameko> Uh..you've never seen my wheels, have you?
<Mondo_Gecko> *w* what is this place??
<Sajak> You know Death was a bit more polite than you. Take that as you will.
<``Mitch> "It was..." He glances up, a little pale. "REAL rough night."
* Kameko smirks
<RicaChica> Nope..*smirks, hopping in and unlocking her door*
<Kameko> Just like this.. only green, tan soft top.
* ^Monisima^ jumps backwards onto the bed...bouncing a bit...lays back
* Kameko hops in, buckling up right away
<`Wing> she says i need ot work on my people skills
* Diana nods, shifting a little* Where you hurt?
<Kameko> Oh..and Angelo? I bought him a truck like Klork's, only green.
<Calantha> *w* TGRI.. they're the ones responsible for why we are the way we are..
<Sajak> This dart looks like something that might be used to sedate a large animal, like a tiger or bear or something.
* Mondo_Gecko tries to peice this together
* RicaChica chuckles quietly
<Mondo_Gecko> *w* TGRI?
<RicaChica> You sound like my best friend back home...*smiles, starting the jeep up*
<Sajak> Its size is a little overkill for a human.
<Mondo_Gecko> *the sound of approching footprints echos down the hall, they sound heavy*
<Calantha> *w* Techno Global Research... *looks up* Uh oh...
* Calantha instinctively moves in front of Mondo protectively
<`Wing> i gathered that.. was there anyone looking for shawn.. asking to be returned to some place for scientific reserch or something o the sort?
* Mondo_Gecko 's eyes widen
* Kameko smirks a little, then shrugs
<Mondo_Gecko> *w* ..go...get out of here!
<Mondo_Gecko> *w* hurry up!
<Kameko> I'll take that as a compliment. So, we just about gone?
<Sajak> The thickness is a bit much for a human, too. No one who's concerned about the discomfort of the subject is gonna use something this big. One heck of a pinch, I'd say.
<VertigoFox> ::he returns to the roof and lies down returning to his stargazing::
* RicaChica revs the engine, pulling out and heading down town
<Sajak> Yes.
<RicaChica> Yep, goin'! *grins* where to, nav'gator?
* Calantha looks to him
* Sajak squinches his eyes shut again.
<Calantha> *w* I can't leave you here!
<``Mitch> "My... side, back. The bitch hit me with fire. And my leg's been giving me trouble for a while. I don't think it healed right."
<Sajak> UVAT ... no that's not it ... TYA ... Gah ...
<`Wing> do you remember who?
* Sajak rubs his temples.
<Mondo_Gecko> *w* do it...I'm a deadman anyways....save yourself
<Sajak> There were four letters, I'd remember if I heard it again. Some government agency.
<Sajak> Lisa said they made Shawn.
* Diana furrows hher brows* Did you have it looked at...?
* ^Monisima^ curls up on the bed...falling asleep
<Sajak> Researching mutants ... tried out a mutagen ...
<Sajak> Damn ... what was it ...
<Calantha> *w* Fat chance. Not leaving you here. *she grabs his hand* *w* even if I have to carry you
<`Wing> ........tgri perhapse..they are th eonly ones really in the area doing such reserch..
<Kameko> Just figured around the same area... so back and forth through Time Square should work.
<Sajak> Maybe.
* RicaChica nods, driving that way, slowing down to traffic's pace as they get there, eyes searching, but more or less paying attention to the traffic*
<Kameko> I don't think he could have gotten too far.. at least not in a few days' time.
* The woman stirs a bit, rolling over onto her belly.*
<`Wing> this would be a case of kidnapping those missing were not removed peacefuly nore do they have any relation to that company
* Sajak nods.
<Sajak> Of course.
<Mondo_Gecko> *w* your crazy...
<Mondo_Gecko> *w* look..the police are after me too...
<Sajak> You don't need a needle like that to take someone along who's willing.
* Kameko watches, brow furrowed as she searches for a guy who looks like Irvine..then BLINKS
* RicaChica nods* You'd be surprised tho ... he moves when he wants to..
* Sajak holds up the dart in his hand.
<Kameko> Stop!
<Mondo_Gecko> *w* get back in teh cage...hurry
<``Mitch> "It's one of the healers that put it together in the first place... I think it's offset. I've got this numb spot up and down where... well, the leg broke."
<`Wing> *nods and mves to go* i must help my friend.. if it were possable.. keep the cops off our backs untill the mission is compleated..
<Sajak> Um ... hold it.
* Calantha scurries back out, replacing his lock, then hurries back to her own
* Diana blinks a little* Perhaps you should have it looked at again...numb is never good...
* RicaChica erks, slamming on her breaks...cars behind her honking and swerving to go around her
<RicaChica> Gyah--I'm gonna get fined stopping here--whatisit?
* Kameko throws the door open, going to hop out, then erks, unbuckling herself and then jumping out .. dashing down the sidewalk the opposite way they came from
<Sajak> My wife? *Sajak gestures towards the sleeping woman.*
* `Wing stops
<``Mitch> "It's not a big deal. I just keep getting weird feelings, like things that don't exist."
<Kameko> CORREY!
* RicaChica pulls off to the side of the road
<Sajak> Could you take your magic off her?
* `Wing counters her sleep spell
* Correy blinks, turning around and smiling a bit, not seeing Rica's jeep ..not knowing she has that yet this time .. tipping his hat a little
* The woman sits straight up in bed, looking around, terrified.*
<`Wing> she will wake in a minute or two.. i should go..*undoes all hsi spells*
<Correy> Heya Kame.. how ya doin'?
* the door opens and a Dr walks in, and looks at Mondo, and at the floor, the muzzle laying there on the floor...both cages are closed
* RicaChica blinkblinks, turning in her seat, eyes wide
* Diana blinks* "things that don't exist"...? Like...ah...limbs that aren't there or...like something doing something to you?
<RicaChica> Kame--WHat are you NUTS?!
<Dr> ..think you can worm your way out of that muzzle freak?
* Kameko just grabs his arm, dragging him back down the sidewalk with her
<Calantha> .oO(Shit!)
* Correy erks, being dragged
<``Mitch> "Just like, y'know, water trickling down my leg. Or a breeze."
* The woman screams, rolls onto her side, opens a drawer, pulls out a revolver, aims it at Wing, and squeezes off a round.*
<Correy> A..Kame..where're ya takin'--Rica!
* Kameko stops just beside the jeep
* RicaChica mutters, wanting to back up the car but can't really do that in one-way traffic..ppl honking at her*
<Kameko> No..not crazy. Saw our man.
* `Wing get hit fallign over what seems to be dead
* Kameko shoves at Correy
* Diana blinks a little* Perhaps you have some nerve damage...?
<Kameko> Get in. *blips to the back seat*
* RicaChica puts the break on
* The woman sits on the bed, shivering, holding the revolver in her trembling hands.*
<RicaChica> Will you get in here!? *to Correy*
* he comes over and unlocks the cage door, grabbing it and putting on even tighter than before so it bites into his skin and smacks his head hard, leaving Shawn's head aching and ringing, slamming the door and locking it: Stupid freak, lets see you get outta that one!
* Correy erks..then climbs in, head lowered as he does so
* Sajak clambers to the end of the bed and peers over the edge.
<``Mitch> "Right now my side's bugging me the most... that and hauling around like a hundred pounds of half-conscious Aria through downtown Manhattan." He winces, rubbing his arms.
<Sajak> Put that away, hun. You got him.
* he turns and walks off as Mondo passes her again, slumping down*
<``Mitch> "Maybe. I dunno."
* `Wing is layign on the ground in a crumpled heap.... after a few minutes groans
<``Mitch> "It's working, it's not turning black or anything - I'm not worried about it."
* Diana chuckles softly* Oh hai...I can understand that...you're not still bleeding are you...?
* RicaChica furrows her brow, pulling back into traffic..random ppl still flipping her off* Where've you been...???
* The woman aims the gun in the direction of the moan. Sajak scoots out of the way.*
* RicaChica sounds more worried than angry
<RicaChica> I thought it was my job to run off --- not yours..!
<Sajak> Madeline, put the gun away. It's alright.
* `Wing softly curses.. woulds healing over wings though tring to coem out of his shirt
* The woman shoots him a look and sits still.*
<``Mitch> "Well... my side's kinda, yeah. But it's real slow - it'll stop in a day or two, I think."
* Sajak holds out a hand and the woman hands him the revolver.
<Correy> .....s'rry.. but I'm gonna have to leave again..
* Diana nods...* Alright..
* Correy still hasn't looked up at her
* Kameko arches a brow in the back. ..but says nothing
* Sajak folds his arm at his side, pointing the gun upwards at the ceiling.
* RicaChica blinks, brows furrowing..pulling down a side street to go slower* <q> Why..??
* Calantha growls, then slumps down in the cage, figuring a plan of escape
<`Wing> you have any idea onna.. how much that really hurts....
<Correy> <q> .......he followed me here... we assumed correctly..
* The woman's eyes grow wide and she clutches tightly at Sajak's hand.*
* RicaChica blinks .. going a bit rigid
<Correy> And....Col's here...so you know that he's not alone..
* ``Mitch just slumps against the chair, eyes closed. "Just... hurt all over. I'm not used to this..."
<Correy> ....They know, too... They're STUCK...just like we are..
* RicaChica nods..brows furrowed
* `Wing gets up wavering in his step has to hang onto the wall to stay up.. though is bleedin and soemthign seems wrog with his back
* Kameko bites at her lip..wanting to pretend to not be there... so just sits silently
<Sajak> .oO(I know what he came for, but if he comes at my wife ...)
<RicaChica> But why are you running ..?
* Diana nods a little* Take it easy...pass up a few fights and search missions...*pauses with a smirk* Ne....not like I should talk...
<Correy> <q> I'm not runnin'.. I'm leadin' him away from you.
<`Wing> you can.. put the fire arm away... i am not as.. vengeful as shin
* RicaChica frowns a bit
<Sajak> (Whispering to the woman) Just ... don't do anything.
<``Mitch> He chuckles, glancing up. "Give me a few more weeks, I'll work up to where you are..."
<Sajak> .oO(Next time we have this conversation in the kitchen.)
<RicaChica> Cor' .. we've got two years..I don't even think I want to go on without knowing if you're DEAD or not for that long ...
<`Wing> if you dont mind.. i have a friend to save...either come with me.. or stay here an dcalm the woman... i dont ahve time to waste
<Sajak> Um ... we'll be alright ... I am sure you can find your way out.
* `Wing nods
<Sajak> I'll be staying with my wife, thank you.
<Correy> I'll be fine, darlin'.. You know you don't need to worry about me.. I'm not who he's after...
* Diana smirks* Ne...I really don't think you want to...
<Sajak> Good luck.
<`Wing> if you dont mind... id like to use your front door
<Sajak> I hope you find him.
* Correy finally looks up at her, eyes a bit hard for him
<Correy> Trust me...I'm fine..
<`Wing> arigato
* Sajak mutters. 'Wait.'
* RicaChica frowns* I trust you. But you're not running--YOU wouldn't let me run, like hell I'll let you run!
<`Wing> nani?
<Correy> I'm not runnin'! I told ya that! I'm takin' him away from YOU!
* Kameko clears her throat
<Kameko> Iii...think I should go see if Rislyn needs anything..
* RicaChica goes to retort, then blinks, looking at Kame
* Kameko blips out
* Sajak gets out of bed. The woman's jaw drops. 'I'll come with you.'
<``Mitch> "You're right, I don't. But... how do I NOT? How do I not help Aria, or not look for Mondo, or not try to help Shin?"
* `Correy` blinks, having forgotten that she was back there .. then sighs, pulling his hat down to cover his eyes
<RicaChica> ER..*sighs, looking at Correy* I'm not gonna leave you alone.
<`Wing> fine...
<RicaChica> and will you..*mutters, plucking the hat from his head* Quit hidin' under that!
* Diana smiles lightly* That would be the the problem with that...
* Sajak quickly dresses.
* RicaChica tosses it into the backseat, turning her eyes back to him
<``Mitch> "Yeah. Shit. It's the water, I swear. Does this to people."
* `Correy` acks, grabbing at it, trying to turn to grab the hat, not having buckled in
<RicaChica> You're not running. and you're not doing anything else without my help, got it?
* `Correy` grabs it, pulling it back onto his head and looking at her
* Diana chuckles softly* Iie...having friends does it to people...
* Madeline flops down onto the bed. Madeline:.oO(One night ... one night together, that's all I ask. Dear God, this marriage is a sham.)*
<`Correy`> I can't have ya help, darlin'.. I'm not the one he wants!
<`Wing> if it makes you feel better bring your weapon.. thye might cooperate with the law
* `Wing turns to the woman
* A single tear rolls down the bridge of her nose.*
<RicaChica> I don't care *snags the hat again* Quit bein' an egotistical male for ONE minute, damnit! You do this and you'll get KILLED.
<``Mitch> "Having tomodachis does - does Japanese, y'know, make plurals the same way? Oh, never mind. I don't know." He sighs wearily.
<`Wing> have faith and our one night of bliss will come... you can trust the word of an angel cant you?
<RicaChica> Then we'll both be in for it. If you get killed first .. the circle might screw over and I won't ever SEE you again..
* Diana smirks* Ehh...iie it doesn't...but don't worry about it now..
* She does not react to Wing's words. Her body shudders in what could easily be a sob.*
<`Correy`> *I* would rather get killed than let him kill YOU again, damnit!
* `Correy` grabs his hat back again
<`Correy`> And STOP takin' my HAT, woman!
* Sajak sighs, watching her.
<`Correy`> I haven't had a shower in a couple of days, and ya keep uncoverin' my hair!
<`Wing> lets go... (better put a word in for them... ok a few words..)
* Sajak looks at Wing.
* RicaChica narrows her eyes, snagging it back* MAKE me!
<`Wing> unless youve changed you rmind again
<Sajak> You say your an angel.
<RicaChica> Well then maybe you should come back to the asylum and wash up--your hair's gonna fall out if you go a few years without washin' it.
<RicaChica> That and you'll smell. *sniffs his hat* Already do..
* `Wing pull shsi shirt off, beginings of wings comign out of his back
<`Wing> unless these are props...
* Sajak nods.
* `Correy` 's jaw sets, snagging his hat back again and glaring at her
<``Mitch> "Nandemo Mitch, tomodachi. I'll be okay. I'm a survivor."
<Sajak> Then you must understand ...
<`Correy`> Damnit, Rica..just..gimme m'hat ..
<RicaChica> Damnit, dont you dare go stubborn on me.
<``Mitch> .oO(Of course, you've survived by running, and you can't run anymore...) .oO(Shut up.)
<RicaChica> You know I'll win--I'm more Iris---I'm a woman! *looks indignant..knowing her point got lost in there somewhere*
<`Correy`> ME go stubborn on you?! Don't you see I'm tryin' ta keep you from gettin' KILLED?!
<`Wing> and you must understand.. why i have to go with or without you...he is my protectruate as are all in the asylum....
* `Correy` arches a brow, smirking a little
* Sajak nods.
<`Correy`> ...Yer more Irish, eh?
<Diana> Hai...heh...ne...I can't help but worry...my nature...
<Sajak> Go.
<RicaChica> Oh don't even start...*mutters*
* `Correy` sighs, tugging his hat back on properly, eyes looking over her with a slow, sly grin growing
<`Correy`> ..and I won't argue the fact that yer a woman...
* `Wing nods and just.. fades from view
<`Correy`> But it doesn't make ya right, darlin'..
* Sajak looks sadly at his wife, her face buried in her pillow.
<RicaChica> Well I'd hope not. *crosses her arms, then arches a brow at him* Doesn't make YOU right either.
* `Wing reappears i the air wings spring out..
* Sajak returns to his bedtime state of dress and climbs in next to his wife.
<`Wing> {{anyone istill in the asylum stil awake?.. i foudn mondo's location}}
<`Correy`> Damn right it does---No, you're supposed to agree with me! Rica, will you just LISTEN t'me for a minute?!
<Diana> {{Nani...?? Where is he...?}}
<`Wing> {{ at TGRI}}
<RicaChica> How about you listen to what I'm saying..?? *looks up at him, voice going quiet* I don't want you killed just as much as you don't want me killed..
<`Wing> {{i am en rute now}}
* Sajak gently takes his wife's hand in his and kisses it. 'I am so sorry, Madeline ...'
* `Correy` sighs, shoulders sinking a little
<Diana> {{...TGRI...? Alright...uhm...I don't know if there's anyone around here who can really help...}}
<`Correy`> <q> ...I'm not gonna go through another loop knowin' I couldn't save you..
<`Correy`> I'm not.
<RicaChica> I can't blame you for coming after me when I ran to New York .. how can you blame me for worrying about your safety when that psycho is around..?
<`Wing> {{mitch siad he wanted to help no matter what.. this is his chance}}
* RicaChica sighs
<RicaChica> And if you get killed .. then what do I do...?
* `Correy` says nothing .. then just shakes his head
* Jaerlani pounds on the heavy bag in the workout room.
<RicaChica> Unlike the plethroa of people I live with, I don't have any powers to bring you back, Correy.
<`Correy`> I'd rather die knowin' you weren't going to again, Rica....s'all I care about..
* `Correy` pauses, making a slight face
* RicaChica frowns
<`Correy`> Other..than knowin' you were right about me needin' a shower..
<RicaChica> And I suppose you don't care if your dying frees him to go after me easier.
* `Correy` smirks charmingly
<`Correy`> Well, at least it isn't stable muck, right darlin'?
* Jaerlani hits the bag with three hard punches, the launches into four quick kicks, sweat beading on her face and running down onto her body.
* `Correy` suddenly gets a wicked grin, leaning closer to her
<`Correy`> ...Ya like it?
<RicaChica> Dead rats and dougnuts ain't better'n stable muck, Correy. You can't charm your way out of a shower now *starts the car up, heading back to the asylum*
<RicaChica> Nah-ah! back up! You stink..!
* Jaerlani feints twice with a punch and lets the momentum pull her into a fierce roundhouse at the bag.
* `Correy` smirks, rubbing his cheek against hers
<`Correy`> <q> ..Missed you, darlin'..
* RicaChica makes a face, kissing his cheek before pulling him away
<RicaChica> You need to shave, you smell, and that tickles! *mutters..going quiet* I missed you too..
* `Correy` smirks a little, moving back to his side of the jeep
<`Correy`> Col can't find her, either... She took yer example, looks like..
* `Correy` 's voice has gone serious again
* Jaerlani pounds the bag with a hailstorm of jabs.
* RicaChica blinks, then mutters, rubbing her temples as she turns down a street towards the asylum* Great Gods ... what am I gonna do with her..??
* ``Mitch , not on the psychic hotline, mumbles something before responding. "...what nature?"
* `Correy` chuckles
<`Correy`> You two are too much alike, ya know..? But.. Collan doesn't know where she's at..
<`Correy`> Figured he could look here..since it was where you ran..
* RicaChica nods
<RicaChica> True ... *sighs, pulling into the asylum and parking* I think I'll start looking tomorrow..I just feel drained and you need a shower.
<`Correy`> God, I want a shower..and then you.
* Diana blinks* Nani...?
* `Correy` smirks, climbing out of the jeep once she's parked
<``Mitch> "Said you couldn't help worrying - it's your nature."
<Diana> Ah...gomen...heh...just the way I am..
* RicaChica hops out chuckling quietly, setting the alarm
* `Correy` sighs, then eyes her
<`Correy`> I'm gonna have to wash my hat..You AREN'T burnin' it. OR takin' it.. I'm gonna shower with it on, n' then wash it by hand, got it?
* RicaChica pauses at the front door, looking back at him..
<``Mitch> "Oh, hai... I thought you meant it was a, a side-effect of being part vampire or something. Instead of a side-effect of being Diana."
* RicaChica arches a brow
<RicaChica> Oh good grief, I won't burn it, just let me wash it??
* Diana chuckles softly* Iie...
* `Correy` shakes his head
<`Correy`> IIIII can wash it with me!
* RicaChica groans
* `Correy` smirks, going over and wrapping his arms around her, looking down at her
<RicaChica> Its a HAT--god, how old is it now? I can buy a new one..*mutters, looking up at him* Cheater.
<`Correy`> Or...you could wash it..but it ain't leavin' my head.
* `Correy` waggles his eyebrows
* `Correy` pouts
<`Correy`> Doesn't matter how old it is, darlin'! It's part of me!
* RicaChica mutters
<RicaChica> Lemme guess, you're gonna be buried with that damn thing, aren't you?
* `Correy` nodnods
<`Correy`> You bet.
<`Correy`> Now...shower??
* `Correy` gives her the puppy-dog look
* RicaChica sighs
<RicaChica> Hopeless--and not until you're clean! *tugs the hat over his eyes, going inside*
* `Correy` erks, pulling his hat up, then smiling, following her in
* RicaChica hands him her key
<RicaChica> Go, clean. I'm gonna get some food.
* `Correy` does so, going upstairs like a good boy
* RicaChica chuckles, going over and fixing ohh...chicken sounds good..god..why is it always bird?!
* Jaerlani pants heavily as she throws blow after blow into the heavy bag, giving a sharp 'gyah!' every now and then.
<``Mitch> "Nothing wrong with being Diana, mind you. I like Diana. Wish there were more Dianas."
* Diana chuckles softly*
<Diana> I would be afraid..
* `Correy` showers, cleaning his hat.. then mutters when there is no blow-dryer to dry it off, hanging it up instead and then sighs .. looking around for another pair of clothes..knowing he left one with her at one point... finding it eventually and pulling on the old-faded jeans and the wife-beater tank top, leaving his hair down so it can dry .. then walking downstairs barefoot... something he NEVER does..carrying his other clothing with
<``Mitch> "Whyzat?"
* `Correy` pokes his head in the kitchen, looking at Rica
<`Correy`> Where should I put these to wash 'em?
<Diana> Too many Diana's spoil the stew. *pauses* Ne...or something...
* RicaChica is makin' chicken..bakaw.
<`Correy`> Psst..Rica..? Where's the laundry room?
* RicaChica blinks, looking up..then grins,t ackling him in a hug
<RicaChica> You're CLEAN!
* `Correy` acks, wrapping his arms around her and dropping his dirty clothing in the process, lifting her up and chuckling
<`Correy`> And wet..you don't have a blow dryer where I could find it..
<`Correy`> NO throwin' my hat away while it's dryin', either.
<``Mitch> He chuckles, a small smile crossing his rather drawn face. "You could NEVER spoil stew, I think."
<RicaChica> I don't use a blow dryer *grins, then points to the laundry room* That-a-way
* `Correy` sighs, putting her down and picking up his clothing, going to wash them then coming back a while later .. once it starts running
<`Correy`> Smells good... you always had a way with chicken..
* Diana grins a little* That's sweet...domo...*pauses* Do you need some pain medication or something...?
* RicaChica chuckles
<RicaChica> Well...Klork taught me. Who better to learn than from a frippin' cat?
* `Correy` smirks, walking up behind her and settling his hands on her hips, resting his chin on her had
<``Mitch> "I dunno. It couldn't hurt."
<`Correy`> ....God I missed yer food..er..how tasty you...gyah, I'm on a roll, aren't I?
* `Correy` smirks, knowing she knows he's kidding
<``Mitch> "Where do they keep it? Do they keep it?"
* Diana nods a little* Go into my bathroom...in the closet in there, there is a basket on the top shelf..in it is a bottle of herbal pain killers that should help...you'd only need one...
* Jaerlani growls, her eyes narrowed, as she throws punch after punch at the heavy bag, punctuated with the occasional kick. Her strength is fading, yet her ferocity only grows.
* RicaChica blnks, looking back at him with a sly grin* Perhaps...
* `Correy` just sighs, closing his eyes and staying like that
<`Correy`> <q> ...Really did miss ya, darlin'..
<``Mitch> "Okay... domo, tomodachi..." He pushes himself up slowly, paling slightly but with no other indication of the effects, and stumbles into the bathroom
* RicaChica smirks, leaning back, still cooking
<RicaChica> Missed you too..
* Jaerlani closes her eyes as she battles the bag. The bag swings with the force her blows, and she scuffs her already raw hands on its surface, drawing blood.
* Diana watches worriedly*
* ``Mitch finds it, he imagines, though he has to stretch to pick the basket down... he leans against the wall, grabs the bottle, opens it, shakes one out onto his palm, puts the bottle back, puts the basket up - god, I love having four hands
* RicaChica finishes up the chicken, putting it on a plate for him
<RicaChica> A'right..chicken's done.rice is cooking..
<``Mitch> He calls out, "Can you have one? You want one?"
<Diana> Iie...I have the prescribed one...
* Jaerlani gives a weak, 'Gyah,' more of a whimper than a yell, as she drops her arms to her sides, continuing with kicks.
<`Correy`> Rice? I have rice, too??
<`Correy`> Oooh..I love you..
* `Correy` sits, nibbling at the chicken
* RicaChica laughs
* `Correy` pauses, pulling his hair back out of his face, looking annoyed at how it's wet before he continues eating
<RicaChica> Geeze, you goof...*spoons up some rice before sitting, eating some as well* Easily pleased you are..
* Jaerlani slams her bloodied hands into the heavy bag, her knuckles crackling under the blows.
* RicaChica chuckles, leaning on her hand as she eats
<``Mitch> "Okay..." He dry-gulches the pill, and shuffles back in, painfully seating himself again. "I should probably get out of here before I crash here... if this works, once the pain kicks out it'll probably drop me like a stone."
* Diana nods* Be careful...
* Jaerlani becomes totally lost in her assault on the bag, alternating between punches and kicks according to what limbs are still able to attack through her fatigue.
<`Correy`> I've been eating fast food or what I can scavage from trash..this is heaven..
* RicaChica blinks...* Trash..?! And you think you'll manage for two years..?!
* Jaerlani hits the bag with a sidekick, using the force of the blow to push herself away. Waving a sweat-slick hand, she cries out a mystical word, sending a bolt of lightning to arc from her fingertips and blast straight through the heavy bag, blowing it to smithereens.
* `Correy` grins a little sheepishly
* RicaChica goes over, pouring a glass of milk
<`Correy`> I..have a toothbrush. And I've been buying toothpaste.
<RicaChica> Like hell. You're staying here.
<``Mitch> "Domo, Diana... I'll try to stay away from runaway trains..."
* `Correy` sighs, shaking his head
<``Mitch> "Gotten derailed too much recently. Ugh."
<`Correy`> Out of the question.
* RicaChica frowns
* Diana chuckles* Hai...
* Jaerlani stands, panting, before the obliterated heavy bag as the thunder clap from her spell echoes through the workout room, living room, and kitchen and then rumbles up through the walls.
<Diana> And any other large objects flying your way...
<RicaChica> No, you're going out on your own with no money and no food is out of the question.
* `Correy` sighs
* RicaChica sighs shakily
<`Correy`> I have money..I'm just saving it for occasional places to wash up.
<RicaChica> At least until we can find J n' Collan. *frowns, eyeing him with......THE LOOK*
* `Correy` sighs ... avoiding her look and eating what little grains of rice that remain on his plate
<RicaChica> When we find them, J can stay with me and you an' Col can go looking--You will NOT go by yourself!
* Jaerlani mutters something about replacing another inanimate object from the asylum.
<`Correy`> <q> Rica.......Col thinks that ...maybe he already got her.. He can't find a trace of her anywhere..
* Jaerlani steps into the living room, dripping sweat from her whole body and blood from her hand. The charred remnant of the heavy bag swings quietly behind her.
* `Correy` shakes his head
* RicaChica shakes her head
<`Correy`> I don't think that's the case..we would know.
<RicaChica> I know her better than both of you. She's damn good at hiding when she wants to be.
* Jaerlani goes out the front door and slips off into the night.
<RicaChica> Let me look for her..? We can both go look tomorrow..?
* ``Mitch pushes himself up again, hopefully for the last time... "Yeah... all of 'em."
* `Correy` sighs, leaning back and looking at her
* RicaChica looks down at him, brows furrowed..jaw set.
<`Correy`> .... I suppose I don't have a choice.. Yer gonna come with or start lookin' despite what I say, darlin', and I know it..
* Diana chuckles softly with a tired smile* Hai...oyasumi, tomodachi...
* RicaChica nods
<``Mitch> "Oyasumi, tomodachi... feel better... want the light off?"
<RicaChica> Damn right.
<Diana> Hai...domo...heh...and I will..
* `Correy` sighs, then pulls her down onto his lap
<RicaChica> erf..! *blinks*
<`Correy`> Fine.. but I stay with you. ANYtime you go out when it might be dangerous.
* ``Mitch flicks off the light and shuts the door, limping down the hall with a weary smile
* Diana nods off 'n stuff*
* RicaChica nods, muttering
<RicaChica> Fair enough .
* ``Mitch gets back to his room, locks the door, sits on his bed... "...how long does it take to kick in?"
* `Correy` sighs, then stands, picking her up and carrying her with him
<``Mitch> Suddenly, he straightens up with a cheerful expression. "THERE it goes!"
<``Mitch> *THUMP*
<``Mitch> *subsnore*
* RicaChica blinks..
<`Correy`> Now..I'm goin' ta go to bed.. and it's been a long time since I've ... slept "comfortably.."
* RicaChica snorts, chuckling a little
<`Correy`> Soo... we go to bed? You tuck me in, darlin'?
* `Correy` starts heading upstairs, still totin' her in his arms
<RicaChica> Fine fine..I suppose I can do that.. *winks*
* `Correy` carries her upstairs, disappearing into Rica's room with her
