OK, you;re all out of the hospital. Nova, you just got out because you were sicker than the others. (That was like... 3 weeks ago though....) The other three have been out for a couple of days. Five days have passed game time since the attack on the Slythe base. The major summong you all to his office in the morning. * Hinako waits outside the office a few minutes early, checking out the charts of our recent medical crisis. You've all come out of it just fine, at full health, with no lingering effects on your immune, endocrine or reporductive systems. (Lucky!) * Nova arrives punctually at the specified time. So did katsu and the mecha crews who dealt with oyour contraiminated mecha. (Yay us! Our kids won't glow in the dark! ... from this anyway) Is everyone there? * Keika arrives a few seconds after the appointed time, and doesn't appear to have hurried in the least. * Karasu of course is just along for the ride. * Kiku makes it to the office. She's wearing the good old JSDF uniform, and today's plush is the good old singed Haguro. She squeezes it extra-tight from time to time, but has greeted everyone with a smile. The Major opens the door and says "Come in, and welcome back. Seated in front of his desk is katsu, wearing a medal and a second lieutenant's insignia. "I just gave Katsu a fielkd commission. He was isntrumental in getting your mecha not only deconatiminated but \functional again." Katsu smartlye salut4es the four of you. * Karasu glances at the Major and then fixes on Katsu's shiney new medal. * Hinako salutes back, being he's now the same rank. * Kiku smiles at Katsu and says, "That's great, Katsu." "Oh yes, that reminds me." The major hands a small box to each of you. "distinguished Combat Medals for all four of you. In recognition of the risks you;'ve taken and the results you;ve gotten." * Hinako accepts it, saluting again, and then proceeding to pin it next to the medic pin. * Keika opens the box and holds it up to Karasu to look at the new shiney thing, "You're welcome." "And with it, three days leave. You may go into town. Just be ready to come back if you're summoned. We still are on the front lines and might be attacked at any time." He then hands all four of you debit cards. "And, since you'll need money to spend on your leave, your long-delayed pay." Wow. All of this at the same time, it just makes everything so overwhelming. * Keika snaps the box shut and pockets it before taking the card, "Perfect." * Kiku stacks the card on top of the pin, which she doesn't attach to her chest. "It's certainly good news." * Karasu looks at the card for a moment but it doesn't hold his attention like the medal did. * Hinako takes the card, but drops it before it makes it to her pocket. (hold it's attention, bah) Katsu smiles. "I've been given three days leave too. I was thinking I could drive you ladies into town. * Kiku glances over at Hinako for a second, then turns to Katsu and smiles widely. "Oh, that's perfect!" We had so many people go through decontamination, I've got lots of work ahead of me, but a little break wouldn't be too bad. *Bending over to pick up the card she spills the charts.* * Gamemaster giggles * Karasu immidiatly looks down at the charts. * Kiku stuffs the card and medal in one of the uniform pockets. Good thing uniforms HAVE pockets. * Hinako starts picking them up putting Keika's on top. "Speaking of charts, perhaps you could explain a few things on yours." * Karasu looks at Hinako. * Kiku starts playing with one of Haguro's antenna and glances over at Nova for a second, before looking back at Katsu and the major, "Um... is that all, Major?" * Nova excepts the offered items witha quiet reserved expression. I doubt there's much I can help you with, but I will try to tell you what I know. (quiet and reserved) "That's all, ladies. Enjoy yourselves in town. Oh, and Katsu? Don;t forget protection." katsu blushed. "Am i that transparent, major?" (Who's wearing caps? >_>) (Because I've got enough confused empathy for EVERYONE.) The major. That's it. (I don't have one) (I have no cap, which means my mind is an open window.) 4 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (4 2d6) and gets 8 11 6 7. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keika (2d6-4) and gets 1. (Ha. Hinako Katsu Keika Major. What luck. I miss the good one.) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Hinako (2d6) and gets 6. (Save) * Keika doesn't seem to respond to Katsu's question. (... Do you get saves on empathy? @_@) (I think so) (If not, I'm curious about Keika's charts.) (She's trying and successeding at not laughing at your ~boyfriend, but she does pitty you for having picked a transparent fool.) Katsu stands and approaches Kiku. "Well, I guess we've been outed, as it were. But this little bar on my vcollar spares me inquiries." (It wasn't really my idea. ;_;) * Kiku looks at Katsu curiously. "Outed?" It means that you've been figured out. "Well," Katsu says, "Where shall we go first? As soon as we get into town I know of a shopping mall. They even offer a military discount, it being wartime and all." Oh, I could probably use a new clock. The mall would be fine with me. * Keika shrugs slightly, "I will need to visit a bank at some point and invest this, untill then... no, I cannot think of anything else I need." * Kiku glances over at Hinako _again_, and says, playing with the antenna, "Yes, the mall would be perfect for me..." The Major interrupts. "OH, that reminds me, about your hotel in town. How many rooms will you need"?" * Kiku looks around Katsu at the Major in confusion. "... Hotel? Leave means we get a hotel too?" "That's right, Kiku. That's part of what R&R is all about." I don't mind sharing a room, but I think we should leave Katsu alone. * Kiku smiles a little to herself. "I'm so confused, sorry... four people in a room is a lot, isn't it?" But I guess Kiku can share with him. "Would you object, kiku-chan?" (Snicker) I would prefer to have a room to myself. * Kiku blushes, and looks down. "I... " she looks over at Keika, then says, softly, "No, it's fine. Good, even." She smiles a little. "We're in times when every day could be our last," Katsu says gently. "We should sieze what moments of joy we can." * Kiku nods a little. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6-2) and gets 1. So, put Nova and Hinako in a room, and Kiku and Katsu into another... if I must I will share with Karasu here. * Karasu chirps. (Yay contact! Empathy on Katsu.) (Do you have to roll for that? :P) (Yes, Dicy hates Mecha's chars) (Technically, I can fail. ^^;) You are literally overwhelmed with postivie energy emanating from Katsu. YOu know, even more than ever before, that he truly loves and cares for you. (He met you two weeks ago.) (Seriously. I bet he's a Slythe sleeper agent.) * Kiku trembles where she stands. (I was thinking of if you actually couldn't tell) Acutally, Kiku, you;ve learned to reg\cognize Slythe mental patterns.Katsu's mind is 100% human, and he's holding none of his meotions back. (I was joking. ^_~) (Anything is possible.) And what is coming from him is so strong that your own heart is starting to race with excitement and anticipation. * Kiku sucks in a sharp breath and says in a wavering voice, "I... let's go, then?" "As you wish. I got a nice van from the motor pool to take all five of us into town." Oh, I have to go pack my bag! How about we meet down by the van in about 20 minutes? Good for you. "Fine then," syas katsu, "i'll pick you all up here int wnety minutes." Thanks Katsu. * Runs off to go pack, without dropping anything this time. * * Nova says, "If that's all, Sir," while saluting the Major. * Kiku nods a little and says, "Me too." She slowly takes a step back from Katsu. Her face is starting to get more and more flushed. The Major returns the salute. "Enjoy yourselves." * Keika turns to leave, "I'm sure they will." * Nova leaves. (Ha.) (She's the one who just arranged for the two of them to share a room remember :P) (She's so thoughtful. ._.) * Kiku goes and gets a bag ready! Almost hastily, even. * Keika goes to pack. (* Kiku and Katsu have quickie while waiting for everybody else) (._.) Ok, everyone;s packing? Nothing interrupts you. 20 minutes later you all meet back at the office and Katsu has pulled up in a minivan. "Who wants to sit up front with me?" he asks. (I went! I don't know if he followed. I had to pack. >_>) * Hinako is running to the van, looking like someone completely different. He had to go get the van. (I guess not.) (What did Kiku get to pack _in_? She had no posessions coming here but the plushies. ^^;) There was a JSDF-issued suitcase in her room. (She followed Katsu as Keika pointed out.) :P (standard issue duffle bag?) Sortt of. * Kiku is... er... carrying in a JSDF-issue suitcase! She smiles a little at Katsu. "I guess I can?" "My pleasure." * Keika walks back to the office, having changed back into her black and blue outfit from the first session with the additon of a small dufflebag slung under the opposite shoulder from Karasu. * Hinako seems to be about 2 inches shorter without the boots, and let her hair down. The bag that she has coming with her has some penguins on it and seems about to burst. "Sorry I took so long." "No problem, climb on in! Where's Nova?" * Kiku puts her suitcase in the van and then hops in front. "Yeah, we've got days, right? I'm so glad we get to go off the base..." she trails off as she looks around to see no Nova. * Nova arrives shortly in uniform witha dufflebag and doesn't seem to mind. She gets in the back quietly without a word. (Did Katsu open the back of van up?) Yes. (If he didn't, Kiku did. ^^;) * Keika puts her duffle bag into the back of the van and then climbs in and takes a seat next to Nova, all without apparent difficulty. * Hinako is wearing a red shirt/skirt that lacks a design. (Is Hinako in the van yet?) (Since I was in uniform my first session... figured giving a description would help.) She should be unless her player says otherwise. (Was in...) * Kiku smiles a little, and turns her head to look at the people in back. She looks at them for a second before giggling. "Oh, look at all the blue hair." * Karasu looks around. * Hinako tries not to get this trip off on the wrong foot. Katsu starts up the van and drives through the gate. Do you want to do anything on the way to town? (Our game is full of lame ;_;) (And look at the bright side, at least we aren't all blue-haired people with names that start with K...) (Ha ha! So blue haired, so lame.) Come on, I;'m not THAT abd a GM. You;re still playing. Aren;t you? (It was a ref-joke. The lame thing, I mean. ^_^;) (for the moment) (It's a refrence to another game that has a blue haired and very lame char) (I think we are waiting till we get to town.) I do not. Katsyu is making a great effort to concentrate on his driving. (Yes, Kiku just needs to bounce a little mroe and then we will wreck) (Ha!) About fifteen minutes later you get into town and a few minutes later turn into the Shibuya Mall. ( /me suggest Katsu puts some skill points into driving. ) :P * Kiku spent the whole trip looking out the window with a strange look. ( *kicks Kiku's chair a few times) (Ow!) * Karasu also spent most of the trip looking out the window, but without an expression, Keika just sat in her seat looking forward. * Kiku looks at the mall and says, cheerily, "Finally, the mall! Yay." * Hinako was sleeping. "Oh, here already?" * Keika deadpans, "Yay." Yep! Mall mall mall. I-- oh, come on, Keika. It's the MALL. * Kiku waves her hands at it. "It has things! I want things. It's perfect." Oh, Kiku, I hear that this mall has a "Build-A-Plushie" store. I think you may wish to go there since... well... (Has Katsu found a parking spot?) Yes. he;s good at that. (Yay!) Yay, It's just a few dozen stores stacked on top of each other right? "Try 187 stores<" Katsu says. More like 15.58 dozen. * Kiku smiles and gets out and says, "Then we'd better get started!" She pulls out a different looking card from all of yours. If we must. * Kiku turns and glowers at the uncheery people. "I'll each buy you something, even, so come on!" * Kiku then looks confused for a second, then says, "That didn't come out right, but you know what I mean." You all go into the mall. it's very big and full of stores of every description. * Hinako is still waking up. "I'm sorry, I've just been sleeping and this is really going to be good for me. * Keika grins slightly, "Free is good." (Did I have to drag Nova along? ^_^;) It just so happens there's a soda machine at the front door that takes debit cards. 300 yes for a .75 liter soft drink of severeal different brands. (yes) But, I'm sure that I'm going to go find that clock store. * Kiku dragged Nova along by the arm, saying, "Come on, Ares-san, it's shopping time..." she stares at all the stores. "I'm lost already." Katsu whips out his .... PDA. "here you go. I downloaded a map of the mall." (Che!) * Hinako wanders off on her own apparently knowing exactly where she's going. * Kiku lets go of Nova's arm and grabs the PDA, looking at it. "Um... I need clothes. Ares-san, do you want clothes?" * Karasu watches the trio of Kiku, Nova, and Katsu. * Nova replies, "I already have clothing." ... Right, but it's boring badly-fitted military clothing. (You forgot her piloting suit, which only differs from her birthday suit in color :P) (>_>) (<_<) * Nova says, "It has pockets. It provides some protection from the elements. It functions correctly." Just drag her along Kiku, she'll either figure it out or she won't. * Kiku laughs a little and says, "Does that mean you want new clothes too?" * Keika tugs on the collar of her vest, "I happen to like this." * Hinako walks past you, already having a bag with a big clock on it. * Kiku looks over at Hinako and says, "She's already buying stuff! Come on, everyone." * Kiku tries to pull Nova along as she heads to a clothing store. * Nova lets herself be pulled along. * Keika follows along a bit behind the children, but not so far that Karasu can loose sight of them. (And Katsu?) * Hinako is now carrying a guitar-shaped case on her back, walking past you again. Katsu is TAGGING ALONG WITH kIKU, BUT TELLS YOU THAT FI YOU;RE GOING TO BUY VLOTHES HE'LL KEEP A DISCREET DISTANCE FROM THE FITTING ROOMS. Sorry -- I didn;t mean to shout. (Aw, he's so thoughtful, and ow, your capslock. @_@) (Augh, my EARS) (Caps lock can be evil.) * Kiku says, "Okay!" and heads into a clothing store that has dresses in the display area, Nova in tow. * Hinako comes by again with yet another bag. (Well, now we're in the store. ^^;) * Keika follows them in, and once there Karasu seems to take interest in the fasions on display even if Keika doesn't show any. * Kiku starts picking through dresses. Just dresses. "Um... Ares-san? Do you see anything you like?" A salescler who bears a surprising resemblance to Nova greets you. "Can i help you, laides?" she says. (...Does the entire population of this world have blue hair? o_o) ( I like her. Mrrowl. ...) * Nova replies, "It seems the same, but less durable." (It's you who's wierd Keika. :O ) Nova, you recognize her as a "toobie" like yourself, but her markings indicate she is property of a different company. (And proud of it.) (I thought Keika had blue hair. >_>) (Did you change that?) (Keika does have blue hair, but that's not why she's weird :P) * Kiku turns to Not-Nova and says, after a second, "Um... well, I'm just looking for blue dresses that fit, really. Good looking ones. And they're not supposed to be durable, Ares-san, they're supposed to look good and be comfortable." * Nova replies, "Blue isn't a good camoflauge color." The Salesgirl offers to take all of your measurments and find dresses that would suit each of you. * Hinako walks into the store with everyone else in it, and falls in line with everyone else. Nova, you have a mecha, the color and utility of your clothing is irelevant. But they're very pretty--oh, yes, please! * Kiku giggles. "I thought it'd take forever to shop for myself." * Nova eyes Keika and replies to her, "Not all battles offer the protection of a mecha." But hopefully you won't be battling throughout the majority of your life. * Kiku tells the salesgirl, quietly, "Take her measurements anyway." Not all battles take place where the background matches your uniform either. This is a city, wouldn't the best camoflauge be one that blends into that? * Nova answers logically, "Yes. And black at night." Oh, black. * Kiku gets the slightest flush. "I like black dresses too." (Salesgirl, dresses! STAT!) How about something in dark purple for me? The salesgirl points outnumerous dresses in the appropriate sizes for each of you. Karasu tells me of these wonderfull inventions they have around here, called street lamps, and you stand out in your uniform, which is counter productive. * Kiku collects up all the blue dresses the woman points out. And after puzzling over each second, one black one, and one green one. * Nova replies logically like in a lecture, "Light from streetlamps only cover so much area and don't light the area covered equally." * Hinako grabs one that is dark purple and also has some sparkles on it. She then takes it over to try it on. * Kiku holds them all in her arms, and comes back to Nova, giggling. "The saleslady pointed out a lot of nice dresses. Go ahead. Pick one. It won't even cost you anything." You have missed my point. Your uniform exists to help you blend into your surroundings, here it should have the opposite effect. Who else here is dressed like that? * Hinako comes out and tries to find a mirror. The salegirl points one out. * Karasu glances over at Hinako as she comes out, and then goes back to watching Nova. (I'm all sparkly after all! :D) (Yay!) (And where is Katsu in all of this?) (Sparkly *_*) (Maintaining a safe distance, I think.) * Nova looks at Keika for a moment then chooses a black and red on (See Nova's image here: http://elfy.faerieland.com/images/Nova%20Ares.jpg ) (cute, I've got 4 seconds of lag on each connection so it takes me 8 to see anything I type >.<) (Sorry. :() (... Whoa. That's one hell of a number, Nova.) (I have to say I'm impressed.) Wow Nova, I wouldn't ever have thought of you as being so original in clothing. It really suits you though. (Where did you find that?) * Karasu whistles. * Hinako changes back and checks-out. * Kiku blinks. "That's... a really neat dress. Okay! Put it on the pile and I'll buy them!" She holds out her arms. (Although I would recomend adding panties to the outfit.) (Ha!) (Has everyone taken care of this stop?) (Throw them on the pile, Nova dear. I've got one more thing to do before buying. ^^;) (I can't recall where. I changed the hair and eye color though) (and if you've got the guns, they haven't shown up ICly yet :P) (Heh.) (Well, she doesn't currently have any gun in hand ; ) ) * Keika stifles a yawn. (Nova, did you pile 'em on?) Hey, how about we go get something to eat? I'm starving from all this shopping! * Nova 'piles 'em on'. The salesgirl walks up to you. "There's a nice little burger and chicken place three doors down." she says. * Kiku takes Nova's dress and stands there, looking nervous for a second, then leans over to the saleswoman and whispers something in her ear. Did you happen to pass such a place while you were run.... * Keika turns in the sales girls direction, "Thank you." The saleswoman nods and goes to get the item. Well, what do you guys want to eat? There's a main food court in the basement level. * Kiku watches the woman go, and says, "The saleswoman recommended the place a few shops down. That'll work, won't it?" I have never been pickey, the chicken here should be as good as any other. Well, if that's where everyone else wants to go, then why not? Because Katsu will not go anywhere without Kiku and we are waiting for an opinion which Nova does not posses. You complete your purchases without further incident and head to the burger.chicken place. You notice that the place actually has some burgers and friend chicken dishes that look pretty good. And Katsu is accompanying you to lunch and orders the vbiggest double cheeseburger on the menu. (As a future note, the woman brought Kiku another black dress, before she bought it all with her magical non-military debit card. ^^;) * Hinako orders the 20 piece nuggets, in the interest of seriously stuffing her face. * Keika takes a chicken sandwich, Karasu doesn't seem put off by this in the least. * Kiku gets chicken fingers! Woo. Fingers made of chicken. (Who wants burgers? Everyone loves chicken!) (Katsu's got the beefy meat taken care of in our party. Nova?) (He's got all the beef we need. o/~) (Well, he is the designated beefcake fanservice.) * Nova the #1 combo. * Nova picks the #1 combo. (Nova with a side of clone?) (oh) Nova gets the equivalent of a WQhopper with cheese, fries and a coke. ( she picked the first thing that she saw ; ) * Keika follows the others to a large table, unless they haven't gone yet, in which case she leads. * Hinako is probably about halfway through her meal. As youi get to the table, four men walk up to your table. "Are you the mecha pilots from the base?" they say. * Nova seems ready to inflict injury on them should they 'make a move'. * Karasu looks at the four men, as Keika ignores them and sits down." * Hinako stops eating and looks up. (Out military sucks at keeping secrets ; ) ) (You're IN UNIFORM!) (That's kinda a problem there Nova.) 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6-4) and gets 3. (Yes, but it doesn't say 'I'm one of four mecha pilots.') (Made THAT by 5.) (Empathy XD ) (It just shows her inthe military like hundreds of others.) * Kiku looks at the men strangely for a second, carrying all her food and clothes as she is. (Yes, but only females can pilot and it's a brand new uniform) (and we aren't the only females in the military ; ) ) (So far, we're the only one's we've met :P) (Well, should we tell them or not?) (Heh - well) (Keika isn't, do what's in char for you.) Does it look like I could be a pilot, much less in the military? * Kiku gasps and drops her food AND her bags, saying, "Slythe!" * Hinako has set everything under the table for the time being, due to her eating. "What do you mean Kiku?" The men sudden;ly turn itno Slythe. "So you found us out. You know we can;'t let you live now." THAT'S WHAT I MEAN. Oh great. Take this outside! We don't want innocent people to get hurt! Could you have at least waited untill after I finished eating? * Nova attacks immedeatly, pulling out a knife lickity split and attempting to run though the closest. * Hinako pulls out Tashite and swings at the one nearest the door. * Kiku shrieks, but just stares at one of them. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6) and gets 8. (Success!) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Nova (2d6) and gets 9. 23d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Gamemaster (23d6) and gets 69. (... Er.) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Gamemaster (2d6) and gets 9. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Hinako (2d6) and gets 7. One of the slythe suddenyl glartes at one of his fellows, who drops dead. (That's a failed attack for me) (miss) * Keika streaches and stands back up, but Karasu is watching the fighting closely. 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Gamemaster (2d6-1) and gets 2. Nova, make a Defense Roll. * Kiku takes a sharp, ragged breath. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Nova (2d6-2) and gets 7. (Augh... that roll was at a -1, but it was still failed) (miss) The slythe punches you across the jaw. You take 7 damage and fall down from the imapct. It will take you one turn to get up. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Gamemaster (2d6-3) and gets 1. 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Gamemaster (2d6-1) and gets 9. (Fist fight! Woo! Take him down! Punch him out!) Katsu gets up and smashes one of the Slythe across the back of the head with his tray. The Slythe staggers and stumbles. (Improvised weaponry!) (Woo!) The Slythe katsu hit staggers back, turns around, and pulls out a lethal-looking energy blade. meanwhile everyone else in the restaurant has fled in panic. (Anything else or are we going for initiative for next round?) Roll for intiative. Nova, you spend this round getting up. d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keika (d6+6) and gets 9. d6 + 5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Hinako (d6 + 5) and gets 5. (Put them together, Hinako. ^^;) (C++ programming >_< ) d6+5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Hinako (d6+5) and gets 6. (There were four. One is dead, one punched Nova, one is the one who glared, and one is the one nearest the door?) Yes. (Which one has the energy blade?) d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (d6+6) and gets 10. (Glare boy) The one nearest the door. the one Katsu hit. (or not) d6+5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Gamemaster (d6+5) and gets 10. d6+5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Gamemaster (d6+5) and gets 11. The order is Slythe, Katsu, Kiku, keika and Hinako. Nova, you;re getting up. The one with the blade charges Katsu. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Gamemaster (2d6-3) and gets 3. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Gamemaster (2d6-2) and gets 5. Katsu just gets out of the way as he charges by. (He has one heck of a DCV!) (Well, it's better than mine. @_@) (and mine.) (but he can't pilot) (So true. Crush him with your Mecha sometime. Feel better. ^_~) 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Gamemaster (2d6-3) and gets 2. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Gamemaster (2d6-2) and gets 4. (Then she'd have to deal with a pissy Kiku, who just got a Slythe to kill somebody for her using the same tech she described in the mini :P) (... Yes.) Katsu, meanwhile, tries to land a punch on the Slkythe who just attacked him, which he avoids. Kiku is next. * Kiku 's eyes widen and she points at the Slythe with the sword and says, "Him next!" the Slythe stares at the one with the sword, who falls down. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Gamemaster (2d6-3) and gets 1. Then his eyes unglaze and he looks around. "what have you done?" he says. keika, you're next. (2 dead, 1 MC'd, 1 left?) (MC just freed himself) The MC'd one just broke free. (true) (2 dead, one not-so-MC'd, Nova's punchy guy also left.) (Just checkin.) * Keika digs around in her vest for a moment and pulls out a small metal cylander, with a flick of her wrist it becomes a not so small staff with a ball on one end, "You just could't wait untill after I finished could you?" * Karasu hops off of Keika's shoulder and onto the table. (and turn done) * Kiku says, "I... I stopped you!" * Hinako charges the one who punched Nova. "Your turn to get hit." 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Hinako (2d6-1) and gets 10. (Oh just give me the critical while your at it. >_< ) Let keika attack first if that's what she;s doing. (She caled turn done) (Takes a round to draw a weapon if you don't have quick draw, and she lost the first round trying something that didn't work.) OK, you miss. No ahrm done. Nova, you;re up now. Roll intiative. d6+5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Gamemaster (d6+5) and gets 7. d6+5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Hinako (d6+5) and gets 9. 1d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Nova (1d6+6) and gets 10. d6+5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Gamemaster (d6+5) and gets 10. d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keika (d6+6) and gets 8. d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (d6+6) and gets 8. (Go Nova!) (Wow... at least my high dice roll was useful this time) * Nova attempts to slash him across his torso with her military-sized knife. (the punchy-guy) The order is Nova, katsu, Hinmako, keika, kiku, Slythe. You hear running sounds coming towards the resutaurant. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Nova (2d6-2) and gets 5. (yes) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Gamemaster (2d6-2) and gets 5. You hit. (13 damage) he falls down stunned. Katsu, crying "I;'ve had about enough of you guys!", tries to kick the last Slythe. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Gamemaster (2d6-3) and gets -1, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "I hate these guys. Give 'em one for me." (Katsu wins) (LOL!) (Do I ever get to hit someone in this game?) (... Katsu wins. I love you, Katsu. You and your mookish ways.) The boot lands right to the head, and the Slythe takes 10 damage. he;'s woozy but still standing. (Well, the punchy-boy is stunned, but still a valid target Hinako =) ) (So I get to smack him yes? >:3 ) Yep. 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Hinako (2d6-1) and gets 7. (Booyah! =D ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Gamemaster (2d6) and gets 3. (That was aimed at Dicey btw >_<) (I can't hit anything, so why not aim at something not even involved) (heh) The Slythe you hit takes your OCV in additional damage. I fo\rgot he doesn;t get a defense because he;s stunned. (25 damage) (SA WHAT!?) (Woah! =D ) You have an OCV of 25, or what did you hit him with? (Supestrength baby!!) (A sword. With focused damage? @_@) (or a super karate technique!) (yeah! Kick some bad guy butt!) (Hit him with Tashite, so 25 plus some burning!) What DID you hit him with, Hianko? Doesn;t matter, he falls down dead, huis head smashed in. (15 base, 5 focused, 5 by adding OCV, and then add burning.) (Oh, and he gets -1 soul for the next 3 rounds...) (I thought burning started the next round?) Actually, he;s aat 0 Soul, being quite dead. (Doesn't matter - dead'd dead ; ) ) (It's not like he is still around to care...) (*scrolls up to see if MC lad is still standing) (Don't think so.) With no enemy standing, at that moment MPs arrive. They call for ambulances, check the slythe bodies, perform first aid on the one that's still alive, and start asking you what happened/ (Er. MC Lad was stunned standing, the knifed guy was stuned bleeding.) (Yeah.) MC Lad is dead. * Keika collapses her staff and goes back to her sandwich. * Hinako is also dishing out First Aid, mostly to Nova if needed. Katsu runs over to Kiku. "You're all right?" he asks. * Nova let's Hinako tend to her injury, but doesn't seem bothered buy it nor flinch as it is attended to. * Kiku is shuddering, and when Katsu comes over, she leans against his chest quietly. * Hinako now turns to make sure there are no civilians that are injured. "I;m not going to ask what you did, all I care about is that you're safe." Katsu says. There are no civilians left oin the restaurant. (But they could have been injured while leaving.) * Kiku whispers, "Why? Why don't you ask?" "Because I can see the way you;re \shaking, darling. I'm sure you'll tell me these things when you're ready. But for now, all that matters is that you're OK." * Keika puts her half eatin sandwich down and clears her throat, "Now, if it were a human that had ambushed us I'd advise running back to the base as fast as we can and getting the mechs into the air, but since the Slythe don't seem to know what a back-up plan is, might I suggest the hotel?" * Nova cleans off her knife and puts it away. * Kiku nods a little. "I'm... I'm fine." She giggles a little at Keika, and nods. "I... that sounds like a good idea. I'm... sorry I didn't get to buy anyone but Nova anything." * Hinako slowly starts cleaning Tashite off, making sure that all of the bags that she had are also still relatively intact. * Nova goes back to eatting her food as if nothing happened. "there's always tomorrow.", Katsu says. "Sergeant, place a guard on the hotel just in case, and have them wear psionic supressors." The MP salutes and goes off to make the arrangements. If you simply have to spend money of me, there's tomarrow afternoon. I wouldn't dream of interupting your morning together. (Gaaah! I'm thinking the same thing as Katsu! One of the Slythe must have drained my brain! ;_;) (Ha ha.) (Dun dun dun!) So, I guess we're all going to the hotel now? And with that we'll take a break until the next session. Everyone gets a skill point.
