Ch`Dith ohyeahs, steps on Shorty associates, even. Gaah, I cannot type. Trent: Don't scratch the paint. :P :) *blink* We got a FULL crew tonight? INCONCEIVABLE! Ack!

Vander runs for the hills att the sight of the Belf s commenced Van: What did you call me? Ars: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. We ready to start? Or is there more Vander-bashing still? Ru`ach [WhtStar2@209.30.97.49] has quit IRC (Ping timeout for Ru`ach[209.30.97.49]) CtrlFreak is now known as Ru`ach Ars: I'm done. For now, at least. ;) Vander P|-|33RZ Trent *riiight* :) Go Flight. Raenar feels like a fiesta. Plays "BABALOO" on Vander's head Trent picks up Vander, tosses him into the air. "We have liftoff!" N`Mor pokes Malik. *poke.* *chuckle* Anyhoo... Huh? Remember, Malik's not exactly up to speed on the Vander- bashing yet... We ready to start the actual game yet? we missing anyone? YES! Nazi-boy: We tend to psych up by smacking the hell out of the Runt. Rae: believe it or not, no keeeewl Rae: Nope, which is pretty damn odd, IMO. Kasia is still stunned by that. :) SteveM helps All right! Let's begin! I second that! same here I'm so used to Ars playing Malik it ain't even funny We are Go For Launch! Places, everyone! *Vorlon noises* And so it begins... Malik whees! Has a working rolly thing! :) Vander hides under the bleachers Kurt: you read the logs, I take it? SteveM cues up his freshly minted mp3 of "Force Ten" Kasia is still sprawled at the feet of the Dwagon, in shock Vander cues Dare To Be Stupid Ch: Most of them.. as far as I could get, anyway. Van: Don't worry, I won't hurt you. *Very Evil Grin* I haven't finished the most recent one, tho. :P Okay.. when last we saw our intrepid heroes, Ch`Dith was in dragon form at the Arena, about to "chow down" (so to speak) on Kasia. Trent is still in the arena itself, with Gyges's still-warm corpse nearby Who should i be more afraid of? Ch"d or Trent? O_o Malik: Bah, just skip to the end. ;) Van: Enh..yes. ;) Is everyone in this area, presently? Everybody save N'Mor and Ru'ach is at an arena, where we have witnessed Trent lay the smack down upon a Titan Juicer. Ru and N`Mor are a little late.. IIRC, no. Ru'ach and the cow are on their way from the hotel N`Mor's there. no, he's on the way Whatever. the first words out of Kasia's mouth were "I'm not a virgin." take it from there. Trent gapes at the large dragon in the stands. "Arenamaster type person, where's the rest of my gear?" Vander hides under the bleachers. *muttering* "Dragons. Friggin dragons. I hate dragons. Evil dragons. Nasty dragons. dragons..." Kasia scrabbles backwards on the ground, trying to get some distance away from the Large Scaly Winged Reptile Ch`Dith was just collecting his wits (involuntary shapeshift's kinda disorienting) when kasia's comment sends 'em off to the corners of the solar system. Malik blinks, then blinks again. "What the f-" SteveM braces to sprint forward and grab Kasia. Erm... What? +"" -typist "Uh... I ... well... you know... I thought that dragons ate virgins or something, and I'm not one?" *chuckle* N`Mor plows through the panicking crowd, shoving random frightened people here and there, succeeding only in frightening them more. Trent: A smelly man just handed you the million dollars, and is now ushering you away from the fight. "You know, son, you're a natural. how'd you like to do this every night? A million dollars a fight." Raenar feels like hiding but can't seem to move. Rae: why not? shock "Ah. *looks relieved for some reason* I can assure you neither I nor anyone I know has ever asked anyone's marital status before eating 'em " "Thanks, but no thanks. I'd rather not do this for a living. Where's the rest of my gear?" SteveM tears off at a sprint, climbing the steps in record time with only one thing on his mind: Getting the girl away from the dragon! You're a trained borg assassin... shock is not part of your psysiology. For a profressional killing machine, Raenar sure is a wuss. ;) -r N`M: you said it. :P *ROFL* it was the sudden appearance NM: He's an elf, what do you expect? "Oh. Uh, great. Look, can you not eat me anyway? I'll give you indigestion. I'm a teek. I'll tear your scales off from the inside out. Please... no..." Suuuure, Raenar. Malik looks around, shrugs, and levels his gun at the dragon. "Oh well, so much for bystanders." Despite his not-that-closness, he appears to be about to shoot at it. "Eat you? Why would I do that? I only eat people in self- defense." Does Malik speak Elven/Dragonese? Kasia blinkes. "Iie watashi no tabemasu?" ch: nope Raenar pulls his NG-P7 Northern Gun Particle Beam Rifle and tagets the Dragon. Probably not. He's a xenophobe. :) "Uh... err... you're not gonna eat me?" Kasia: whut? Vander continues to hide. Compared to everyone else, he *IS* a wuss. N`Mor finally makes it to the epicenter of panic, levelling his cannon at the dragon. He shouts in elven tongue, "Move the wrong claw dragon, and I'll sever your head from your neck." Alchemist [~alchemist@retort.xs4all.nl] has joined #rifts SteveM slows up... not believing what he's hearing, and BARELY keeping himself from facefaulting. Ch`Dith shakes his head. Oi, Alchemist Trent: the man hands you a key, and tells you a locker number. 'lo Alchemist hey alch Ch`Dith looks up at the cow, looks back down at Kas. Kasia sighs. "Good. I've had a bad day. Eating a psion with PMS isn't a good idea. Just to let you know." Hello group, I'm just listening in Folx: Meet my party's host, and tonights guest. 'llo Rudy. *to the Smelly Guy* "Thanks, I'll pick it up in a bit." *vaults the wall into the stands* oi Rudy Kasia shivers a bit from shock. "Guh, guh, guh...." Hey, Rudy! Ch'D: groovy Allo, Alch. Nice to meetcha. 'lo Rudy 'lo Rudy-person. 'lo Ch`Dith blinks again, then asks, "You two - you travel together?" I got the japanese wrong... shoulda been "Watashi no tabemasen" - jsyk :) Oi, Fat Albert cast-type person SteveM finally makes it to Kasia, keeping himself between her and dragon. "We have GOT to stop meeting like this!" "Err... yeah. Steve, he said he wan't gonna eat me." Ch`Dith looks at Steve, eyes widening. Malik: even with Steve and Kasia there, are you gonna fire at the dragon? "... Another friend of yours?" Trent goes over the wall and runs towards the dragon. Ars: Nope. "I wonder why myself, dragon." Malik grumbles. "Damnit, Steve." He lowers his gun. SteveM looks around, seeing Malik, Raenar, and N'Mor drawing down for the first time. Kasia shivers again. Vander continues to hide under the bleachers Ch`Dith looks sharply at Steve. "You lead?" Ru`ach looks into the arena. Sees the dragon. Chickens out. Stays outside. Trent manages to push his way through the crowd to the group. "Where the hell did you come from, dragon?" SteveM looks back toward the dragon. "I try. You may wanna get clear and if dragons know any 'hey-don't-kill-me' gestures, you better start using them." Vander: what about that device you brought with you. Malik starts into the crowd, blatantly knocking people over, and pushing past people. Kasia slowly gets to her feet, still shaking from residual shock SteveM helps Kasia up. Rae; Nevermind. It didn't work Ch`Dith gets a faraway look in his eyes... "Reluctant allies / destined by fate...." "Thanks. I... I..." *shiver* "I'm sorry, I don't feel too good. *passes out* Van: What was that, some kinda primitive ReND? "'scuse me." *shove* "Hey!" *whap* "Ow!" "Outta my way.." *shove* Malik: Where are you heading? Trent: Basically Kasia faints SteveM TeekCatches. Ch`Dith looks at N`Mor.... "chewer of grasses / bringer of fire..." Ars: Towards Steve, Kasia, and Mr.Scaly. Vander hides s'more 'k Und Trent, now. Ch`Dith looks down as Kas.... "singer of thoughts...." "Somebody wanna fish Vander out from under the stands?" N`Mor makes a gurgling noise and chews thoughtfully. Ch`Dith looks Steve straight in the eye from nostril to nose. Malik grins, and looks up. "Gladly." He turns around, and starts back towards Vander. Raenar finds the group and sets his NG-P7 Northern Gun Particle Beam Rifle ready "Sure, I'll go grab him, Steve." *Evil Grin* Vander starts moving for the exits. FAST *not looking away from Dragon* "Raenar, hold your fire." Trent sees the bolting hobbit. "Nevermind, he took care of that himself." "... Leader with a dragon's heart in a mortal body..." Rae: it's not necessary to give the entire specs Malik grumbles. Raenar stops him in the halls. "Your not leaving. Are you?" or even the entire name. "Damn. I wanted to shove him around some." *whispers to Steve* "Where'd this guy come from?" Malik starts *BACK* towards Steve, Kasia, and the dragon. Vander doesn't stop at the exits, keeps going Ch`Dith glances away at Trent.... "... one who chose to die yet lives against the odds...." N`Mor narrows his eyes, and reaches to his rifle.... he flips on the safety, and lowers the weapon. . o O (You have the soul of a poet, Whoever You Are. I definitely don't wanna kill you unless you give me no other option.) Ch`Dith . o O (Thank you. ) Ru`ach almost gets ran over by Vander Ch`Dith is a telepath, btw. *whispered back to Trent* "The stands." Malik , with one last shove, gets out of the crowds, and stops about five feet away from the group. "Ow! Watch where you're go... oh it's you." SteveM blinks like a signal shutter. "Oh-k." "I ain't stayin' around no dragons! I hates dragons! Dragons is nasty, mean, ... crap! Trent's gonna kill me!" "Ah. Let's get out of here." Okay, by now, the crowd's dispersed... Kasia blinks, looks up, notices her position. "Steve, I had the weirdest..." *sees Ch'Dith again* "... oh." Predictibly. "*to Vander* I'll kill you, if you prefer." *to Steve* "I don't get to shoot the lizard now, do I?" Raenar hops into his hummer and follows Vander Ch`Dith ducks his head in a respectful greeting, switches to fluent English. "Greetings, Heroes." Vander heads for the hotel "Probably not." except for a few security people that just showed up. Ch`Dith eyes the suicidal one. Malik snaps his fingers, and scowls. "Darn." SteveM returns with a respectful nod. "Malik, shaddup." *chuckle* Trent nods towards the dragon. "Who are you?" Malik grumbles, and puts away his gun. And, once again, Trent proves his Vorlon-ness ;) "I think you may want to change back. People around here aren't exactly used to black dragons showing up at sporting events." N`Mor makes a sound somewhere between a choke and a laugh at the mention of 'heroes'. That's Sebastian-ness, dang it. :) "I am Ch'Dith of Sh'Karh. I am honored to meet you." "Lieutenant Steve Mitchell, currently attached to the Coalition Army." Malik: Same thing... almost. :) ControlFreakishness. :) Vander kkeps running until he gets to his Hog, guns the motor, and burns rubber out of town *to Ch'Dith* "Nice to meet you.. although I would rather have gotten to shoot you." Kasia: that's a bad thing? :) Raenar loses Vander and returns to the arena "Mr. Hospitality here, is Sgt. Ambrose Malik." "That would be a prudent move, Lieutenant. Unfortunately that isn't an option. Not right now." Malik glares at the dragon for a few seconds, then snorts. Vander: you sure you want to leave the town, in the middle of the night... with vamps in the area Trent switches to Dragonese. "And I am Trent Harris. We might wish to move to another area to talk more." *eyes security guards* Ch`Dith ignores Mr. DeathWish. Ch`Dith nods at Trent. With a Dragon around and Trent likely to kill me, vampire territory's safer. :) *chuckle* Well, Vander... Van: %) . o O (Less public, open area, but still within city limits... where?) you spot a dozen large bats following you.. Ch`Dith . o O (Lead the way, Dragon Heart. I will follow unseen.) *back in American* "C'mon, I know a place." Vander thinks better of it and turns back into ther town . o O ( Damn. I hate these freaks. I hate 'em. Wish they'd go away, and stop bothering me. Make my job alot easier. ) Ch`Dith shadowforms "Kasia, you ok?" Kasia swallows. "Hajimemashte. Watashi no namae wa Kasia Harnell des. Doozo youroshku." Kasia: translation? "Hai. genke." *switches back to American* "Sorry, I blanked out. I'm fine." Ch`Dith . o O (I could make your entire existence less complicated with a single breath, careless one.) Ars: Even I figured that one out. Don't worry Vander, I won't hurt you. (Strangely, he's not grinning) Ch`Dith nods at Kas . o O ( Oh, great. He can read my thoughts. Damn. This just makes my day. Thanks, but no thanks. ) Ars: Hi, glad to meet you, my name's Kasia Harnell, please do me the service of allowimg me to remain in your company(implied: Don't eat me) Ch`Dith . o O (you're welcome either way.) heh Vander heads back to the hotel *to Steve* "Warehouse okay?" SteveM is getting a kick outta this. Ars: And Hai, genke means "I'm fine" . o O (Might as well face the music. hope Trent doesn't mosh." Kas: I noticed that.. Kasia follows whatever's going on blankly Ch`Dith drifts after Steve *back to Trent* "Sure... Wait a minute. If N'Mor and Kasia are here, then who's watching our other charge?" . /me wanders after Steve, but pulls his gun back out, keeping it at his side. - . /me wanders after Steve, but pulls his gun back out, keeping it at his side. Arsenal kills Malik's typoist.... *grumble Malik wanders after Steve, but pulls his gun back out, keeping it at his side. Trent shrugs..."What other charge?" "What? N'mor - where did that baka no dorobo go?" Me not type good to-day. "The other girl we picked up. The baka." Trent leads the way out to a medium sized warehouse towards the edge of town. * you can barely make out a patch of blackness floating behind Steve O-nnay It-shay. "I told her to stay in the room..." That was after I got arrested, you know. Vander heads up to the rooms Vander: Ru'ach is not there. "You think she'd listen? Damn!" "But would she obey? Somebody's gotta find her." I know Kasia runs back to the arena, grabs Ru'ach's bike from where she stashed it, and heads back the way the others went. Vander checks the chalk drawing on the floor again, absolutely convinced the shoe size fits his this time. Malik squints, eyeing the general area of the black form, then walks slightly slower, allowing some distance between them. N`Mor swishes his tail annoyedly. "Hrmm. Yes, perhaps I should have just ignored the potential threat of you all being eaten. I'll remember that in the future." SteveM runs back to the hotel first before the warehouse. Ars: how long does Invisibility: Simple last? *pants* "No time for that now, Bevo!" Kasia parks the bike at the warehouse. Glances at Trent. "Well, at least we have something she's gonna want, now." Ru: 3 minutes/Exp Level Raenar goes looking for Ru'ach *to N`mor* "Makes more sense than talking to a big lizard." in your case... 3 minutes Kasia opens her mind to the town, looking for Ru's thought patterns *to Kasia* "Huh, good thinking. Who is this person?" kas: believe it or not, she's still outside the arena Get outta my mind, babe! :) N`Mor is lost as to where everyone is now. ;) N`M: they're en route to the warehouse... Agh. My mind's getting crowded. ;) NM: Warehouse, 'cept for Steve, Vander and Ru. Vander is at the hotel, Steve's en route there, and Ru's at the arena so where am I? %) . o O ( Hey, lizardo? How do hobbits taste? ) Kasia doesn't listen to Trent, groans. "She's back at the Arena, of all things... " NM: Warehouse. N`M: following Trent okee Kasia swings the bike around and heads back, keeping her mind open Ch`Dith . o O (I do not know. Hobbits haven't attacked me yet.) . o O (Like chicken?) Vander ponders his emminant demise at trent's hands s'more "Figures. Well, I need to get my stuff anyhoo..." *runs to arena* Okay... . o O ( Want to find out? ) Steve: when you get to the rooms, Vander's there, Ru ain't Ch`Dith . o O (I eat what I feel like eating.) Malik: Thanx a lot! :) Raenar heads for the Warehouse Sorry, have to go. See ya later maybe ;-) ? Thanks a lot? Like it.. Actually there is one person who's getting close to being supper. . o O ( Couldn't you maybe.. *feel* like eating the hobbit? I hear they're real tasty. ) Kasia squeals to a halt outside the arena, does a broadband search for Ru'ach "Great... Vander, did you see the girl anywhere? Relax, Trent's not with me." Cya, Rudy.. brb Steve finds me writing my last will and testament Trent gets to the arena, finds the locker, gets his stuff and goes back to the warehouse, prolly after running past Ru several times. Nites Rudy. Nice meeting you. Laters Rudy. "Steve? Nah. She wasn't here when i came in ." Kas: You sense Ru wandering around outside the arena G'Nite, Rudy. Nite, Rudy Alchemist [~alchemist@retort.xs4all.nl] has quit IRC (Leaving) "Shee-it." Later Rudy Kasia pulls up beside her "Whatcha writing?" Ch`Dith . o O (If I were you I'd drop the subject before I decide to "feel like" eating one of the Heroes after all.) *to Steve* "Uh... just me will." That is what would normally be construed as a "Hint". "That rough a night?" Ru`ach shoves Kasia off of her bike. "itami kanjiru!" Trent pauses to strap on his jetpack before heading back to the warehouse. Kasia points at the seat behind her. "Notteiku." . o O ( Uhh.. maybe I'll shut up, now. Yes? ) Malik: good boy. :) "Ben taberu, baka!" :) Ch`Dith reforms in the Warehouse. "Yes." *to Steve* "What else would ye call it?" Kasia grabs teh front of Ru's jacket and swings onto the bike in front of her. Trent lands by the warehouse walks in, sees Steve not be there. "Where did Steve go?" "Neither Trent nor the dragon is with me. And if they want you, they're gonna have to go through me." Oh, that's a relief for 'im. }8=> Kasia grabs the handlebars and pulls off toward the warehouse *fast* bbias Kasia: you get there in a minute flat *to Steve* "Thanx. Trent I can face, but that dragon... *shudder* ... (barely a whisper)I hate dragons." "And if you ever get nervous, you can take the jumpseat of the Plow. Now come along, we're late." . o O ( I wonder if I'll get hazard pay for this. ) Kasia parks, grabs Ru, and shoves her at Trent. "Hold the baka, my arms hurt." Ru`ach is muttering in Hewbrew the whole time. Trent blinks, obliges. "I don't believe we've been introduced." Vander follows Steve back to the warehouse What's this warehouse look like? +on the Hog N`Mor paces around the warehouse floor, vibrating the ground slightly with every heavy step. Malik: it's a big open space... SteveM takes the Plow over to the warehouse now. Ru`ach looks at Trent. "What do you want?" Kasia snorts. "The baka no dorobo namae no Ru'ach." Malik sits down on the floor. Several unmarked crates are nearby *to Kasia* Shteki! "At this point to know your name." *shrug* And Ru-chan exhibits her Shadow-osity. +"" b Ru: Uh... don't say that too much. :) Van: what? I said shuddup. "Who are you?" "What do you want?" *chuckle* I like this.. no need to RP *anyone* Malik eyes the crates, stands and sits on top of one, setting his gun down on top of the crate. Ru: Oh? What was i thinking then? O_o Okay... Trent glances between Kasia and the unnamed lady, sighs. "Could you ladies please speak american; I've had a LONG day." SteveM pulls up to the big door, shifts to Battloid to open it, shifts back to Transport to drive in. Hey, I'm getting used to this Xenophobic Stick-Up-The-Ass Nazi Taskmaster buisness. :) "Surudoi buttai no jii ni fukeru." Vander shuts down the Hog and walks in Malik: you do it well.. Okay.. everyone is now in the Warehouse "Excuse me." *walks over to Vander* N`Mor looks over at the dragon. He speaks in Elvish, "To warn you ahead of time, this creatures ate all quite insane." Ars: Are Lyrans and Sponge Minions gonna storm it looking for WDI tech? :) bak SteveM stands up in his seat. "Trent, stand fast." s/ate/are/ Arsenal kills UL for that one... *to kasia* "Veshedifeki gamal barzel!" "Uh... hi Trent ." Trent pauses. "Steve, lay off. I'm not going to kill him." Yeah, he helped Trent earn a milliion bux. %) "What are you going to do then?" Ch`Dith grins and mutters.... "one who is evil / yet seems to aid good.... / one short of stature but great of words..." "Hello, Vander." Ch'D: 'Great of words'? :) Trent seems to be restraining himself, barely. vander: You're a loudmouth What the cow said. This is epic poetry, remember? *to Trent* "Uh, look, I'm sorry about gettin' ye caught. I..." "Trent, anything you wanna get off your chest, get it off. Vander's had about a rough a night as you." N'Mor, Ch'D: I got that ok we're all here. I think we are Malik eyes Vander sadistically, and stares blankly at him. wait.... is anyone holding me? Ru: N`Mor, I think "Look, I'm not going to bother to say I'm not pissed, 'cause I am. The thing is, though..." he grits his teeth and forces the words out "It's. Not. Your. Fault." *to the genearl assembly* "Could all of you please sign this?" *hands Steve his Will* Malik looks at Trent. "Actually, I think it is." Ru, do you really want to try running. Trent *GLARES* at Malik. "Don't fuck with me right now, skullboy." Trent: no. I want to get on the bike and ride like hell :) *to Trent* ".........." N`Mor idly uses his frame to block the exit. SteveM looks over the Will, hands it back without signing it. "Van, don't you think this is being premature?" "Uh... if you say so?" Okay... Vander looks at Steve in the negative. you're all in the warehouse... why'd yo come here, btw? Trent sighs. "Yeah, it's not your fault. I knew that I'd probably get arrested coming back here." Ars: Good place to talk without drawing attention? Needed a place to get Ch'D oput of sight Ars: It's a large open space not in a public area? 'k... suits me fine.. Malik whistles innocently. N`Mor looks at the dragon, and cocks his head to one side. Ch`Dith nods. "None of us can outrun our destiny forever." N`Mor . o O (I know you can hear this... what is this prose you are reciting?) Vander looks at the dragon. "............!!!" "Geez. Why's everyone getting mad at me? Well, only one of you will actually get to kill me.. I mean, sure.. lots of you can *help* but I'm wagering on the dragon being the one wh- ..nevermind." SteveM holds out his hand for Vander's will. "All right, I'll sign it." Ch`Dith looks back, grins pleasantly. Note the teeth. Good teeth. "By the way, I seem to have picked up a rather large sum of cash tonight." Ch'dith, are you talking in dragon/elven or eigo? "So have I, Trent." Ch`Dith . o O (My destiny... and yours, I think.) Err... 'merkin Vander hands his Will to Steve *to Steve* "I think I've got you beat." recitations are in dragonese, odd dialect but understandable. Convo is english for now. SteveM gets a pen outta his glove box and signs. N`Mor grunts, and tugs at one of his horns thoughtfully. *to Trent* "I don't doubt it. But we can compare coffers later." "Yeah, I want to meet the new arrivals." Vander wonders if he can get out of here without the dragoin noticing him Ch`Dith . o O (No.) *chuckle* +and other Hobbitish thoughts about dragons Vander: including the name "Smaug"? Ch`Dith grins wider for no apparent reason. Trent walks over to the rest of the group, notices Vander frozen in place. "What's wrong?" Ars: Yes "For some reason, Vander and dragons just don't seem to mix too well." "Ah, I see. You take one arm, I'll take the other." *to Trent* "......................................*hoarse whisper*dragon!" Ch`Dith grins at the shorty... .oO(I mean you no harm, little one.) SteveM nods and hops down. Van: Full marks for comparative anatomy courses. *to Vander* "He won't eat you... you smell too foul." "uh... ye're a TP?" Ch'D: Heh Ch`Dith nods. "We use the term, 'singer of thoughts'" *to Ch'D* "oh." Kasia looks up at that. "Another telepath?" That was eloquent of me. :) Ru`ach doesn't even look up. "Great. Two people that can screw around with my head." Trent walks back over to the group, carrying Vander between himself and Steve. *to Kasia* "Yes. Apparently they come in packs." *whispered* "Which does not do wonders for Malik's state of mind." "Ronin no seimeihoken arimasen kekkon suru." I'm here. Did I miss anything *to Kasia* "Come again?" Kasia chuckles at Steve Rae: nope... Rae: Uh... everything? Steve: Um. Kasia blinks. "Huh? Oh, I just suggested she marry a Ronin with no life insurance." *to Kasia* "Hamora. Tizdyni im Bill Clinton!" *chuckle* "Whatever you suggested with whoever that is, no thanks." "Talk about oil and water." Trent shudders, manages to contain his temper. "Would you people PLEASE speak american?" N`Mor realizes he has mind block.. neat. %) *to Trent* "Lo!" "Sorry, Trent." Vander tries to get his mind off the dragon sitting nearby by fiddling with his translator Vander goes through the translator's entire stock of swear words in every language it's programmed with "Thank you. Now I think we have some questions we need to answer." Malik hops off his crate and stomps over to Vander, looking over his shoulder. "What's that, dragon-bait?" Raenar goes through his Backpack to make sure he didn't loose anything. Kasia takes note of a few of those... By now I'd think that even Malik would figure out that I'm not interested in the short guy, and that insisting I should eat someone is highly likely to backfire.... Vander elbows Malik in the ribs and calls Malik something that he passed a second ago. "Malik, will you lay off?" Yeah, but Malik hates all D-Bees... he's just goading Vander "Namely, what are we going to do with our pair of new arrivals. And Malik...shut up. You don't want to see me seriously annoyed." N`Mor sighs and idly twirls one of his revolvers on his finger. The big pistol looks tiny in the bovinoid's huge meathooks. *to Steve* *sigh* "..Very well." Malik glares at Vander and makes a rude gesture with his hand, then stalks quickly back to his crate, throwing a sidelong glance at Steve. *to the dragon, in dragonese* "This is my destiny? Tell me it isn't true." *to Trent* "Well, I'm not making any headway with those Stones. i guess having a magic user would help." "What about the stones?" Ch`Dith replies in the same language, "It was written." Ch`Dith eyes the stones *to Vander* "Hmm...you've go a point there." *Idly wonders which one's the magic user* *to Steve* "I can't make heads or tails of 'em. Maybe if the Dragon knows some voodoo or something..." N`Mor nods, and in American, "Pity. I hoped there'd be something that made more sense." He sighs, and shakes his big head. Kasia drifts away from the conversations and sits on a crate rubbing her temples. "At least, all the tales I've heard say some dragons used magic." "I don't trust that magic crap. It'll screw you over just as soon as turn someone into a frog, or whatever the hell it is you people do." Ch`Dith does that grinning thing again.... .o(No-one ever said prophecies had to make sense.) "The key word in that sentence is 'some'." "All right, Malik doesn't like the concept of having a magic user, so that mean we probably need one." A prophecy is a guess that comes true. When it doesn't, that's called a metaphor." "So you obviously don't." *to Vander* "not all of them. Malik snorts in Trent's general direction. "Correct." SteveM bites the inside of his lip to avoid cracking up laughing at that. *to Raenar* "And yeah. Yer an Elf. Don't you know any?" "He's a 'borg, which screws that whole bit up, supposedly." Kasia glances at Ch'Dith. "No magic? Just Psi?" SteveM eyes the new guy. "I think he's more Mossberg than magic." . o O (Just like Malik.) *chuckle* Ch`Dith looks sharply at Rae. "That adds up.... child of nature / drenched in death inside and out " Malik picks up his gun and starts tossing it up in the air and then trying to catch it by the barrel each time. Ch`Dith returns Kasia's glance. "Succinctly, yes." Trent turns to Ru'ach. "So, do you know anything about magic use, miss..." the sentence trails off as he realizes he still hasn't been introduced. Kasia grins. "My kind of dragon. Welcome to the club." Ch`Dith taps a claw to the floor twice. The gun lands on Malik's head. "not really. but elven folklore says. "some dragons are just big lizards. Nothing more." "The baka no dorobo is named Ru'ach, Trent." "Thanks, Kasia." Malik arghs, and grabs his head. He looks around quickly, then grumbles, and picks the gun up from the floor. Kasia chuckles at the Dragon. "Good one." Ch`Dith grins yet again. . o O (The dragon will fit in, it seems.) *mumbled* "Damn freak-show reject magic using.. uh.. freaks." Yeah, it seems so. Vander pulls out his recorder and goes over everything he has on the Stones. Which is basically five words. "WHAT THE SNAD ARE THESE?!" Van: LOL Ch`Dith eyes the stones, gets a headache. The Stones are back in the supply truck "So, Ru'ach, do you know anything about magic? And I'm not talking about that old pre-rifts card game." Kasia uses a bit of teek to kick Malik in the rear while he's still stooped over. "Not magic, Nazi-boy." Arsenal just remembered the fact that Sergio's with them... keeping relatively quiet, prolly drunk as a skunk, and cursing his lot in life.. d'oh. disregard last sentence, then. Ru`ach looks at Trent. "Why do you care?" *to Kasia* "That's Sergeant Nazi Boy to you, damnit. And I don't really care." Ars: You sure Ch'Dith's appearance didn't make him swear off? erfiglkt [rbos@newt-53-0173.direct.ca] has joined #rifts Raenar feels like going out a killing something. Oi, rb Steve: he prolly took it as an hallucination :) 'lo rb erfiglkt nods, lurks quietly in the corner Trent shrugs. "Curious, I guess. Besides, we picked up these weird magical stones..." hey RB Is the supply truck outside the warehouse, or still at the hotel? Malik drops down behind the crates, out of sight from everyone else, and starts trying to catch his gun again. still at the hotel "So, ..Ch'Dith, is it? Think you can change back or do you need to do that trick of the shadows again? N`Mor wonders what happened to those 'bats' that were following Vander. ;) N`M: they didn't enter the town... ah they turned back at the gate. Ru`ach frowns at Trent. "You want me to do work *for* you?" *to Ru* "We could make it worth yer while." N`Mor idly wonders how Vander reaches the pedals of his bike... phonebooks? %) "Ye said ye needed a job. I could use an assistant." it's a low-rider... Ch`Dith mutters, "You do seem to be the only 'young weaver of enchantments' in the vicinity...." extremely low *to Van* "Doing what?" *blinks* "Depends on how you define work. I did come into a bit of cash, tho.." It's a very low low-rider :) *to Ru-chan* "We have recently become people of substance." *takes out C$5000 and fans himself with them* Ars: he'd have to be sitting behind the damn engine to reach 'em ;) He'd be looking over the fatboy %) Ru`ach trys to reach for the money out of habit. it's modified just for him "SteveM, Nice pay-off." Trent chuckles, takes out his wad of 1 Million. "Yep, I got you beat by a bit, Steve." *to Ru* "If you know any magic, I could use yer help figgerin' out a few artifacts we found. If not, I could use a spare hand with keeping our vehicles in working order." SteveM pulls the cash back... "This is the advance payment. There'll be 20,000 more of these when your work's done." Kasia 's eyes get caught by the money I suppose the pedals could be extended for people with foot- long legs ;) 20,000 x 5,000? Trent loses. Kasia blinks a few times, then shivers *to Van* "I don't do mechanics. And I'm not doing magic 'till I get to Mexico." Malik puts away his gun and jumps over the crate, walking over to the rest of the group. Ch: he means 20K more dollars... As in 20,000 in cash. I know that. *to Ru* "Then I got no use fer ye." "You're heading to Mexico too? Mebbe you could come along." "She will." N`Mor hears the magic word. "Ah, Mexico. Does anyone remember exact;y why we're here?" "With her?!" *points at Kasia* *to N'Mor* "We're going to a weenie roast. Vampire's on the menu." *chuckle* "She doesn't bite." Sergio hears this.. "Me-hee-co? *hic* bloody vamps." *to N'Mor* "Something about killing something. That's all I need to know." "Yes, which is why I think the rest of this coffee klastch is better held at the hotel." "I am *not* travelling with a byoki hokinsha no baishunfu!" Ch`Dith mutters under his breath, "or can comprehend..." Kasia snorts at Ru. "Baka no dorobo." *to Steve* "Roit! I'll meet you guys ther!" *wants to get as far away from the dragon as possible* N`Mor picks up the linewalker by the back of the shirt again. "You can ride with me." Ru: translation? Vander starts for the door "AMERICAN PLEASE! Sorry. Anyway, you don't have to ride with her. Prolly couldn't anyhoo. Ru`ach bahs at Kasia. "You're repeating yourself." "Go on ahead, Vander..." +" "Microsoft programmer. Stick your head in A: and press format." Wouldn't it be fun to just leave Malik behind and say he got 'killed'? %) Kasia can speak technocan too. ;) Ch`Dith eyes Why bother lying? *chuckle* So can Ch`Dith Vander retrieves his Will from Steve before heading out, looking to make sure everyone's signed it Point. ;) *to Kasia* "Lechi tizdyni im Bill Gates!" okay... who's headed back to the hotel? Ch`Dith eyes Ru`ach. "No need to go that far." N`Mor grumbles, and shakes Ru'ach again. "Can we get over this?" "Grab a hot waffle iron, Luser! Spend a day trip with the BOFH!" I'm going Ch`Dith is not. SteveM is... "Kasia, you coming along?" "Sure, Steve." Trent growls under his breath. "All right you two, STOP IT." "I will wait here." Sergio *hics* "Ah'm drivin' Trent Harris is... "The Ref." " "No you're not, Sergio. Not in the city, anyway." "And CERTAINLY not in your condition." Steve: No, Trent Harris is....Getting Annoyed. You never saw that movie? Merquoni [~flamester@p61.utc6.dialup.pao1.flash.net] has joined #rifts N`Mor trudges out of the warehouse, tossing the young linewalker across his shoulder. Merquoni is now known as KasiaH 're Kasia Ru`ach screams. 're Kasia N`Mor senses a trend. ;) SteveM ponders lashing the baka's hoverbike to the Plow before heading out. "N'Mor, put her down. C'mon, Ru'ach." "Oh, put a sock in it and try to run Photoshop Pro on a 286 winbox." "Shteki!" N`Mor grumbles, and puts her down. "She is your responsibility, then." *to Kasia* "Why don't you ride with me, ok?" "Sure, Steve. Sure." "Ch'Dith, we'll be back in the morning." Ch`Dith nods. "Sleep well." "I know that, N'Mor." "We'll try." Ru`ach looks at Trent. *mutters* "Meshugah." Vander heads for the town court house to get his Will noterized Where's the rest of Malik's stuff? *idle* Raenar feels like Vamp hunting. Grabs his stuff. Malik: at the hotel Ch`Dith says nothing more and silently watches them from the shadowy interior. Trent shakes his head. "You can use my bed. I'll sleep on the floor." GAH! *SKA_ROOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLL* Malik is going to the hotel then. ;) Same here Me Too! N`Mor makes his way back to the hotel, stopping to observe some tasty- looking scrub along the way. Okay... let's skip ahead a few hours... Kasia [smbeaver@p61.utc6.dialup.pao1.flash.net] has quit IRC (Read error to Kasia[p61.utc6.dialup.pao1.flash.net]: Connection reset by peer) it is now morning Okee. KasiaH is now known as Kasia ok that sux SteveM climbs out of bed... is Kasia there? *duck* %) Raenar climbs into bed. Probably not. Trent stretches, having never actually gone to sleep. Again. Jealous, Ru? Vander wakes up, SSSes, checks the chalk drawing's shoe size again (my, it seems larger today), and goes to get breakfast. Ch: No. Kasia wakes up, changes, etc, heads out for food. Malik grunts, and washes off his face, then similarly searches for food. SteveM is already picking through the continental breakfast. Ru`ach begins feeling hunger. Ignores it out of habit. Kasia grabs a roll that doesn't look too disgusting Raenar finds an apple and eats it. Vander meers Kasia at the local choke and puke. "Oi! I had a horrible dream last night! Dreamt a dragon joined th' team." Ch`Dith is sleeping fitfully after thinking about prophecies most of the night. Thought you were in bed, Rae... Trent notices Ru'ach not going to eat. "C'mon, I'll pay." -meer +meet N`Mor wanders in, brushing dust off of himself. He appears to have spent the night outside. Kasia glances funny at Van. "Dream? Nope. Sorry." Vander chokes on toast. *to Trent* thanks. Kasia pounds on teh runt's back "Vander. That was no dream." "*hackcoughgulp* Huh, whu...?!" Malik grabs a croissant and stuffs it in his mouth, chewing noisily. He pushes someone away from a carton of bagels and grabs the already- toasted bagel (but not yet touched!) from their plate. SteveM glances back at Vander. "I don't do much dreaming anyway... Oddly enough, I find my waking life much more interesting as of late." Trent wanders down and joins the group gorging themselves. . o O (And when I do dream... you just don't wanna know.) At this point, a young man enters the place, obviously shaken and quite scared. SteveM eyes the newcomer. "Nope, no dream." Kasia seems to be enjoying the opportunity to pound the hobbit. "A Dragon really did join the team." *pause* "A big one." N`Mor eyes a piece of fruit that looks edible, and crams it into his maw. Vander takes note of the entrance, then goes back to eating Trent looks up between mouthfulls, goes back to eating. Kasia picks up on the distress, glances over. Ru`ach finds something that looks meatless. Eats it. Ru: yum, sushi. "Bartender," he says, "gimme a rum and coke. No, make it whiskey. Better yet, make it that D-Bee drink of yours... N!!Thren'das, izzat it? I need a drink, or I'll fall apart." *cackle* %D *to Ru'ach* "Their eating habits are disgusting, no?" Ch: Cucumber sushi! YUM! %) o/~ Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, etc...o/~ That's been described as "ambrosia with an aftertaste of paint thinner..." :) *chuckle* SteveM eyes his Mojo CD, ponders putting it in and howling along to "Beer Ain't Drinkin'" By the survivors, you mean? the man is clearly distressed about something... *muttered* "Wonder if he was a wrestler in a past life." Steve: There is something about the man that grabs your attention... his sidearm bears a symbol you've not seen since you arrived in the Rifts world. (What symbol be this?) Trent finishes eating copious amounts of food, glances at the newcomer. Upon closer inspection, it appears to be an RDF symbol. SteveM; just lurking. Don't mind me. erfiglkt [rbos@newt-53-0173.direct.ca] has quit IRC (shouldn'ta opened me damned mouth. Maybe next week.) *to man* "what's wrong?"

Couldn't help but notice that gun..." Cya, Malik.

You know the guy?" Ch`Dith aways, snoozes on for now SteveM ignores Kasia and Vander for the moment. "Yeah? Found it in a technological gold mine a bit farther south. Kasia glances at the gun, wonders what's so odd about it. Trent glances over at Steve. Vander looks at the gun the stranger's carrying "How far south?" Ru`ach looks around, confused. *to Ru'ach* "So, how exactly did you come to meet our merry little band of people?" "About a hundred miles south, and *big*. My unit found it, fat lot of good it did them." Raenar notices the gun in the stranger's hand. "nice piece." "Why? What happened to them?" *to Trent* "I tried to borrow." "We woulda brought it back, if it wasn't for the damn vamps that claimed it as a home. As it is, I barely got out." . o O (Probably vamps) "You think you can point it out on a map if we gave you one?" back "A lone survivor out of two dozen men and women." With this, he downs the glass of N!!Thren'das, and asks for another one. Raenar gets a maps "Ahh. Is that why Kasia's...disapproving of you?" -s Vander hands Steve his recorder after pulling up the map we made from the GB armour's blackbox "I c'n take you to it. I still owe those vamps for what they did to Jodi." *to Trent* "Yeah." *chuckle* "Heh, nothing I wasn't doing when I was your age." "Jodi was your..." "Girlfriend, commander, lover, boss, you name it." Ru`ach looks at Trent in surprise. "Yeah, I'm from around here. And, a guy's gotta survive, no?" "We started the group, just the two of us." SteveM nods solemnly. "I think we may just have room for you after all." SteveM sounds like a man who knows all about that. He's lost an unit before. The newcomer looks at Steve, and sticks out his hand. "Raoul Charboneau." Kasia winces at the tone in Steve's voice involuntarily "Steve Mitchell." *shakes* Heh With as many people as are heading south, you'd think the Federation of Magick and the Coalition were on the verge of starting the shooting :) *chuckle* *chuckle* SteveM starts whistling "Gimme Shelter" On the verge of starting? Trent: :) "So... we go?" "Damn skippy." N`Mor impales an apple idly on a stake. "It appears we might finally get around to our chores." *holding map out to man* "Where are these Vamps now?" *to Kaisa* "We're already heading south, why not go with someone who knows the way?" "Good point, Runt." *to Ru'ach, still* "Anyway, enough of the ancient history. You have your gear together?" Raoul takes a look at the map. "Directly due south of here." Vander closes down his recorder and puts it away *to Trent* On my bike. The baishunfu has it." "Raoul, how do you feel about working with the Coalition?" *to Ru'ach* "Watch your language, Crud Puppy." "Heh. I don't know what baishunfu means, but I think I can guess. And lay off, Kasia." Raoul shrugs. "So long as they're helping wipe out those vamps, I don't care." N`Mor pulls the apple off the stake with his teeth, and slides the wooden weapon into a loop on a bandolier beneath his cloak. The belt is lined with many similar stakes. SteveM smiles. "Right on." Raenar grabs his bow and arrows. Vander opens his recorder again and starts going over the possible reasons why his little gimic at the arena didn't work. "Lay off? Trent, the tsumetai baka was picking Steve's pocket! And then she has the gall..." Kasia forcibly restrains herself. Hmm...prolly should get my shopping done before we leave. Trent: *nod* "Vander?" "Oi, Steve?" "Kasia, she was doing what she had to to survive. I used to do the same.." he also restrains himself. Raenar heads for the nearest church in town. "Think you can make some bullets for my new toy? You know, the CAR-15?" Trent: outta my head, please. 2 TPs in the room's enough %) *to Steve* Should be able to. Ye'll want the Lost Boys Killers, i take it?" "Naturally." Well, we're going to be getting on like a house afire. Sorry. I was just going to leave to get some more supplies, anyhoo. =) Flames, screams, people running for safety.... Trent gets up. "Steve, before we leave, I have some shopping to do." Ch'Dith: Takes all kinds. Vander leaves to find some place to buy more silver "Carry on, Trent." Vander still ponders refinements to his gimic Sergio staggers down, hung over, and wanders over to the bar... he orders coffee. "'kay. Try and keep Ru'ach and Kasia from killing each other." N`Mor follows Vander, having nothing important to do. Trent wanders out, buys stuff. "Will do." "It's okay. I don't kill." Kasia mutters to herself, "kore miyogashi no ekohiiki." "I do." Kasia glares. "Then I'll have to adjust." Ru`ach glares back. SteveM looks over at Kasia. "Not on my watch." N`Mor stops at the door. "The easiest resolution would be to cut out their tongues." He wanders out. Kasia is a 'Path. Ru can learn sign language. NM: No. %) Kasia sighs, casts one last glare at Ru'ach, and finds a blank wall to practice daggerthrowing on. "I'm sure Malik would agree with you, N'Mor." Ars, the list price for my list is $185k. I'm getting it at that? Vander buys silver Trent: yes Vander buys more silver All right. *thunk* *thunk* *thunk* N`Mor wanders up behind Vander. *thunk* *thunk* Trent: as you go about your tasks, you're innundated with kids wanting your autograph. SteveM ponders... Trent Goldberg? *runs* You've gone from Del Rio's Most Wanted to Celebrity #1 :) Ru`ach glares at Kasia. "Will someone sensible ask her to stop?" Trent chuckles, signs quite a few. Kids. =) Raenar return to the hotel. Trent: They'll all want to become Juicers, now. Nice going. *chuckle* Vander gets the silver back to the supply truck, drags out the anvil, and starts making CAR-15 rounds. "Come on you two. Let's find you something to do that'll annoy the piss outta our Resident Nazi." "Raoul, where can I find you before we head out?" "Kiseichu," Kasia snarls at Ru. Raoul looks over. "I'll be right here." "Very well. Take it easy with that stuff, ok?" Ru`ach snarls back at Kasia. "Ugat hachkunim!" "Sure, Steve," Kasia agrees. "sorry." Vander looks at the pile of rounds he's made, makes s'more "Go take apart a HAL 9000." Malik steps between the two girls.. "Stop that. Before I shoot both of you." Steve: apparently he's annoyed at their bickering. Oops. "On the other hand..." "Malik, you're with me too." N`Mor wanders about aimlessly. Malik glances at Steve. "Yes sir." "oi! N'Mor! See whut ye can find to use for ammo magazines." "Go dismantle a live Vorlon's encounter suit with your teeth." Raenar packs his backpack Trent grins at his new toys, rides back to the hotel on his Shiny New Bike. SteveM makes sure the Plow's medkit is properly (read: well) stocked with Tylenol. *grabs Kasia by the wrist rather tightly* "That's enough!" N`Mor wanders into a gun shop and looks around for the appropriate magazines. *to Steve* "Think these'll be enough?" *gestures at the thousand or so rounds* "Etzem shel dinosaur. Tikberi et atzmech im hanatzi'im!" Kasia locks eyes with Steve for a few seconds, then sighs and shakes her head. "Sorry." Trent calls to Vander "Hey Vander, what do you think of my new bike?" *to Vander* "For about three days." N`M: You find them... those clips are quite common. *to Steve* "Then I'll hafta buy more silver." Malik makes it a point to stay between the Bickering Duo... *to Kasia* "Next time, as difficult as it sounds, apologize to her." Steve: You do realize you'll have to pay me for the parts and labour. :) *chuckle* Steve: Ow. %) Kasia grinds her teeth. "Fine," she growls slowly. Vander: You know I'm good for it. "But I get to cut her fingers off once she becomes useless." Steve: OK :) Vander buys more silver, makes another 5k rounds Trent parks his Tarantula bike, walks up to the hotel room. N`Mor makes off with around two dozen empty clips. He approaches Vander and drops a loaded gunnysack at the midget's feet. SteveM lightly puts his other hand on Kasia's shoulder. "One thing at a time, ok?" "All right." Trent: while parking in front, you notice a weird-looking hoverbike parked there. "Good." Trent goes over to look at it, predictibly. *to Vander* "What's the damage?" *to Steve* Right now, $6k for the silver. Don't worry about labour costs." N`Mor suddenly gets an idea, and looks around for a knife shop. Trent: It's a design that does not appear to be of human design. "Right..." *picks up a cartridge, inspects it* "Nice." Vander finishes loading the magazines, hands them to Steve SteveM stocks them neatly in the Plow, getting Kasia to help him. Trent whistles. "Where are you from?" he asks out loud. Oh great, I'm talking to a hoverbike. It is also armed with two lasers in the front. None of the markings are in a known language, and you can't see anything that resembles a power source. Raenar looks at his watch. Noticing that it's stopped. "what time is it?" Vander wanders over see what Trent's looking at after putting away his tools and anvil The hoverbike answers "Na goonda perytonia." Kasia helps Steve obediently Rae: Time is not important. Only life is important. %) *to Trent* "Nice bike ye picked up, there." Ars: Did we ever get Kasia's Bug fixed? Steve: yes. You can never run out of thyme. Thyme is infinite. Oregano is finite. Basil is finite. This... is wrong pizza." Trent sorta jolts. "Thanks. What about this hoverbike, though. Have you ever seen anything like it?" N`Mor pokes Ars.. what's the chance of finding a titanium-silver alloyed broadsword in this one-horse town? %) Vander: it's nothing you've seen. Van OWWWW. SteveM @maims UL for the pun! Kasia helps Steve. N`M: you'd best get it silver-plated... silver alloys do nothing to vamps... silver has to be 85% pure at worst to harm them. Ch`Dith joins the "Harm the Hobbit" bandwagon *to Trent* "Nope. Never seen anything like this before." and there are plenty of silver- and sword-smiths around. *to the Hoverbike* "Can you speak american?" ooc dammit SteveM looks up to see Trent and Vander gathered around a strange hoverbike. N'Mor: Hire me! Hire me! if I pour a vile on the broadsword will that work? Van: Wha, trying to get a comission? Rae: lemme check. Trent: Yep :) Steve: the bike has no markings you recognize "Hmmm... doesn't look like a Southern Cross bike.." Malik glances at Steve. "Southern Cross?" Vander goes and buys himself a silver-plated bayonet Trent raises an eyebrow at Steve.."Southern Cross?" Kasia frowns suddenly. "Hey... where did those Brownies go?" "Yeah. They manufacture hoverbikes." "Custom jobs only." Kasia: they've just disappeared. Vander hears Kasia's question. "Oh, blimey!" *runs to look in the supply truck* Kasia shrugs, stares at the bike with the rest.
