Vin_Da_DM: Previously on Warriors of Destiny: Docking with the living space station Gelfiven, the Warriors were informed that the inspection of their ship would take 48 hours to complete, during which there are allowed to explore any of the 5 levels open to civilians.
Vin_Da_DM: Given a complimentary room as well the Warriors get to relax onboard the station. The Warriors also met the strange small blue furry Quickling, Dracblue, who was allowed to accompany them with the Guardian�s permission.
Vin_Da_DM: After acquiring some money the Warriors split up to do their own things, a majority of them going shopping along the station�s promenade.
Vin_Da_DM: Elsewhere, outside a small battered ship pulled up to Gelfiven to dock. Inside the docking bay a robed alien exits his ship along with one large red and one large black robot. The pot mark on their hull half-hides a Rathron Bio-Tech symbol.
Vin_Da_DM: *Time passed: A few minutes*
Vin_Da_DM: The atmosphere inside the 4 level promenade continues to bustle with commerce, trade and mixed conversation.
Vin_Da_DM: The robed alien arrives on the upper level from one of the elevators. The two robots flank him as he exits and walks to the edge of the tier. Pulling back his hood he begins looking around he scans the crowds as if searching for something, or somebody.
Vin_Da_DM: $ Start
Katie turns to Clarice, �I�m thirsty. You?�
Clarice smiles at Katie, �Am I ever. What you got in mind?�
Vin_Da_DM: Stryder pulls out a chair for Cara then goes the other side of the table then looks at the holo-menu displayed in the center of the table.
Katie: �I dunno, but I�m hopin� it�s strong.� Katie grins.
Kyra sighs, �As long as they serve juice, I�m good.�
Luna_Faline walks with Eclipse to find the garden.
Vin_Da_DM: Eclipses stretches as he and Luna walk, �It�s one of the nicer space stations I�ve seen.�
Katie looks at Syne. �Want some refreshment?�
Vin_Da_DM: Syne shrugs as he looks at Katie, �I don�t need any, but if the rest of you are I might as well.�
Luna_Faline feels the hairs on the back of her neck bristle. Looks around, �Yea, it�s pretty clean.�
Kyra stops a passerby, �Where can we get something to drink?�
Claron buries her face in her hands, �Clarissa, why�why?�
Tabris pats Claron softly on her shoulder, unsure of what to say to her.
Vin_Da_DM: The alien blinks at Kyra with several of it�s eyes trained on her, while the rest look forward. Spitting out an un-intelligible sentence it blinks again at her.
Cara sits down quietly then glances at the menu, �So�what did you mean back there when you said after all that I have done?�
Katie laughs, �Oh, that helped a lot.�
Vin_Da_DM: �You should know,� Stryder looks at Cara through the holo-menu for a
moment before continuing to review the offerings.
Vin_Da_DM: �On the two lower tiers are food stores,� the Guardian translates for Kyra as he follows behind the group a bit.
Claron looks over at Tabris with tears still glistening in her eyes, �She really is gone...I know��
Vin_Da_DM: Eclipse eyes Luna then scans around for a minute, noting the red and black robots he nods, �Apparently we�ve caught someone�s interest.�
Clarice: �I�m with you. Could use a good stiff drink myself.�
Kyra nods, �Well then, let�s go.�
DracBlue looks round in the shop, seeing that Katie left walks up to the shop keep and points at the emerald green dress that Katie tried on, �My good man, do I have enough credits to have that dress packed for me?�
Kyra: �And thank you.� Kyra says to the alien and to Guardian.
Cara: �Hmph, seems to me it is all matter of ones perspective��
Tabris: �Yes...she�s gone,� Tabris sighs heavily, �But, we can�t change that now.�
Luna_Faline slowly follows his gaze to see the robots, �Oh, great timing,� I whispurr.
Vin_Da_DM: The alien continues on it�s way, the Guardian nods to Kyra then glances up, noticing the two robots he �blinks�. �Interesting��
Vin_Da_DM: �The figure between them�� Eclipse looks closer, but tries not to appear to be staring directly at them, �Definitely familiar��
Claron nods her head slowly, �The time we had with her was not long enough.��
Vin_Da_DM: �I suppose,� Stryder shrugs then presses an item from the menu, it chimes softly. �Want anything?�
DracBlue jumps back onto the counter to get the shop keep�s attention.
Katie and Kyra head for the lift to take them up to the pub.
Vin_Da_DM: The shopkeeper looks at Dracblue, �Can I help you?�
Luna_Faline shivers and rubs my arms suddenly chilled, �Not in a good way,� grumbling.
Cara punches a couple buttons on the holo-menu.
DracBlue points at the emerald green dress, �Do I have �nuff credits for that?�
Vin_Da_DM: The holo-menu disappears from the table, a few moments later a short serving bot brings over a plate of covered dishes. Another holo-screen pops up with the bill.
Clarice follows behind Kyra and Katie.
Vin_Da_DM: Syne follows after Katie and Kyra, �So, any idea where we�re gonna get these drinks from?�
Katie smiles at Syne, �Well, if we can find a pub on the next floor��
DracBlue starts tapping his foot fast enough that it starts to wear a hole in the surface of the counter.
Luna_Faline looks away from them hoping they didn�t notice us. �So, what do we do now?�
Vin_Da_DM: Guardian breaks off from the group and heads for the two robots and the alien with them as the group of three begin to move.
Vin_Da_DM: �Act normal,� Eclipse says to Luna as he continues to walk with her.
Vin_Da_DM: The shopkeeper stares at Drac, �Yes, you do...please stop abusing my counter.�
Luna_Faline fluffs my mane and rubs my neck trying to soothe my nerves. �Yea, right,� taking a deep breath.
Vin_Da_DM: Stryder removes the cover from his sandwich and takes a bite, �Not bad��
Claron: �Then I have no other choice, but to accept what has happened to our daughter. Time to show the world that...I...we... are in mourning.�
DracBlue swipes his credit wraps up the dress leaves and walks out seeing the two robots and the third member of the group. Runs up to them with the package under his arm and waves his hand at the new arrivals, �Hello,� he says excitedly as he notices he passed Guardian.
Tabris: �Hmm?� Tabris looks at Claron with a questioning look
Vin_Da_DM: The black robot looks down at Dracblue for a moment, then ignores him as the three continue on.
Cara picks at the food on her plate and tries to keep her thoughts focused on nothing more than Kabal.
DracBlue just �hmphs� at the rude member of the group and runs back to Katie.
Katie and Kyra step onto the lift.
Dracblue runs up to Katie�s shoulder and looks at her, �Hello�I got a present for you,� and smiles.
Katie raises an eyebrow, �Do ya now, beastie?�
DracBlue unwraps the emerald green dress and holds it up as best he can.
Vin_Da_DM: �Didn�t steal that did you?� Syne looks at Drac with a raised brow.
Katie looks at the dress, reaching out to stroke it softly. �Oh my��
Dracblue starts to growl at Syne as to say, �You should know better�.
Kyra frowns. �Isn�t that the dress like what you wore at the?��
Katie nods, her eyes tearing up, �Just like it.�
Vin_Da_DM: Syne chuckles, �He growls, isn�t that cute. How about rolling over? Play dead? Fetch?�
DracBlue hops, �You like it? I hope you like it.�
Luna_Faline squeezes Eclipse�s hand nervously.
Katie: �It�s lovely.� Katie chokes on the lump in her throat. �Thank you.�
Vin_Da_DM: �It�s ok, looks like they moved on,� Eclipse scans the upper floors.
Claron: �We need to wear black,� she declares.
Tabris looks down at his shirt and pants, �Something else black, you mean?�
Luna_Faline nods, �I hope they are not here for us. I don�t think some of our group is ready to deal with them yet.�
Kyra puts a hand on Katie�s arm, �Are you okay?�
DracBlue hugs Katie�s head, �I�m glad,� he says as he sits down on her shoulder.
Vin_Da_DM: Guardian continues to follow after the two robots and the alien at some distance.
DracBlue pulls out a candy bar looking item and starts eating it slowly.
Katie sobs and nods jerkily.
Vin_Da_DM: Syne looks around, �So, we actually going to use this elevator, or just sit here?�
Katie pushes the button for the lift.
DracBlue looks at Syne, �You are just a smart-ass, and I hope you�re as useful as you are good at witty remarks.�
Vin_Da_DM: The lift doors close and it descends smoothly, a muffled form of space-age music playing on the speaker. It reaches the 4th level and *dings* softly.
Katie and Kyra step off, looking around for the pub.
Vin_Da_DM: Syne smirks at Dracblue, lifting a hand he snaps a green-metallic tentacle within inches of Drac�s head from his palm. �That�s Mr. Smart-ass to you, shorty.�
Claron: �Guess I was meaning me�� smiles weakly.
Katie gives Syne a watery smile, and a soft giggle.
DracBlue doesn�t flinch, �Okay, smart-ass�you can change your appearance. Is there any thing else you can do?�
Vin_Da_DM: Numerous restaurants are spread across the wide promenade. The massive park and garden takes up the center of this level, giving diners a view with their meal.
DracBlue throws flower pedals magically into the air just for the hell of it.
Kyra points at one of the restaurants, �Let�s try that one. It looks pleasant.�
Vin_Da_DM: A quite a few pubs are stashed in-between restaurants, several of which appear to have holo-graphic aliens, both male and female, advertised outside.
Katie nods and follows.
Katie sees a pub, �Better yet.�
Clarice follows quietly behind the others still fuming that Tewyn didn�t try and stop Cara from running off the elevator.
DracBlue leans on to Katie�s shoulder and falls asleep.
Vin_Da_DM: The robots and the alien stop and Guardian approaches them calmly, �Looking very good for a dead man...and keeping interesting company. Scorpus, it�s been awhile.� Guardian eyes the alien, then centers on the black robot.
DracBlue wakes up shortly afterwards hyper.
Vin_Da_DM: Scorpus turns to Guardian and studies him for moment before speaking, �Phalanx, it has been awhile. I haven�t seen you since....well, the battle at Reach.� Scorpus looks at the other robot, then at the alien.
Katie and Kyra wander to the pub.
DracBlue climbs down and runs around greeting the aliens at the pub.
Vin_Da_DM: �Dead? I assure you I am quite alive, I am Gnomon.� The alien looks at Guardian, �You must be speaking of the imposter I heard rumors of.�
Clarice follows Kyra and Katie, �Nice place.�
Katie: �It�ll be nicer if they�ve got something worth wetting my whistle with,� Katie sighs.
DracBlue: �I wouldn�t drink anything that could get me wasted if I were you,� smiles slightly at Katie.
Katie frowns, �You suddenly my mama, beastie?�
Vin_Da_DM: The red robot looks at Gnomon, �Emergency signal, Sir, contact lost with our inside agent.� Gnomon nods and sighs, he looks at Scorpus, �Looks as if we�re continuing with the plan by ourselves then.�
Tabris looks at Claron, �It�s a big station, black clothing shouldn�t be hard to find.�
DracBlue: �No, I�m just saying my metabolism is higher than yours. I could quite easily drink almost anything under the table and back.� Sticks his tongue out at Katie.
Katie: �Well, I ain�t plannin� on tryin� to out drink ya.� Katie shakes her head, �Besides, you ain�t seen what this Scot can drink.�
Vin_Da_DM: In the pub as the group enters is loud with music and chatter. The mostly red-lighted room is a large circle with alcoves in the walls shielding private tables from the main floor of the pub. The bar counter is a smaller circle in the center, surrounded by tables.
Claron: �Guess that means we need to go find me something more appropriate.�
Vin_Da_DM: Behind the counter in the very center of the bar is a stage with several aliens of different species dancing to the music blaring over the speakers.
Tabris stands up extends his hand to Claron, �Guess we are going to do a bit of shopping after all then.�
Katie eyes the dancers, shrugs and saunters to the bar and orders something strong.
Vin_Da_DM: Eclipse pauses at a shady spot of grass under a tree by the side of the many ponds in the large park. Looking at Luna he smiles, �This looks like a nice place.�
DracBlue wonders if they have something for the Quickling race.
Clarice looks at Katie and the others, �Name your poison�� as she moves towards the bar.
Claron takes Tabris hand, �Looks like it.�
Luna_Faline smiles and looks around, �Very nice, how do you think they got grass to grow here?�
Vin_Da_DM: �What plan?� Guardian looks between the two robots and Gnomon.
DracBlue: �Quickling ale is my poison, and it would be poison to you,� smiles really broadly.
Vin_Da_DM: Scorpus glances to Gnomon who nods, �If you can trust him,� to which Scorpus turns to the Guardian, �We originally planned to get inside Rathron Bio-Tech�s HQ and do as much damage as we could. Now that our inside contact is gone, it will be more difficult.�
Luna_Faline sits down carefully on the grass and straightens up my skirts, pats the ground next to me as I look up and wink at Eclipse.
Vin_Da_DM: �Well, it is a living station, so I presume it isn�t too hard.� Eclipse says as he sits next to Luna.
Vin_Da_DM: �Rathron�s HQ�� Guardian thinks for a moment, �RD might be there. Eliminating her would cause Rathron to crumble from the top down.�
Clarice orders a Black Russian.
Vin_Da_DM: Katie is greeted with a large glass of neon blue drink with a line of sugar around the edge of the cup.
DracBlue orders a primordial acid.
Luna_Faline runs my paws over the soft grass enjoying the smell of it, �I didn�t think of that.�
Katie takes a sip, while Kyra orders fruit juice.
Vin_Da_DM: The bartender eyes Drac suspiciously and slides him a metal glass of something dark and bubbling.
Cara pushes her food away from her. �Will you excuse me for just a moment? I need to visit the Ladies room.�
DracBlue takes the glass and says, �Why did you make it so weak?�
Vin_Da_DM: �If you need to�� Stryder eyes her, ~If you run, I�ll know it.~
Vin_Da_DM: Katie�s drink is sweet and yet the liquor hits her like a Mack truck.
Cara pushes herself away from the table and makes her way to the Ladies Room. ~Never said I was going to run.~
Vin_Da_DM: ~And you never said you weren�t.~ Stryder smirks as he watches her leave.
DracBlue sticks one fur in his drink and watches it take a full 5 seconds to dissolve it.
Vin_Da_DM: Syne watches as Clarice gets her Black Russian, then he looks over at Katie. �So, any suggestions on what to get?�
Katie shudders deliciously, �Mmm . . . Perrrrrfect.�
Clarice takes several big gulps from her drink, and then points to a vacant table near the dancers. �How bout we sit over there and enjoy the show.�
DracBlue: �5 seconds�Oh well, it�s drinkable.�
DracBlue drinks the whole thing down.
Katie nods.
Vin_Da_DM: Eclipse lays down and stares at the branches and leaves above him.
Cara slips out of the Ladies Room and finds herself looking for a back way out of the restaurant.
DracBlue decides to go on a run and finds Cara.
Katie: �Well it depends on what ya want taste-wise. This shit is good. Try it.� Katie hands Syne her glass.
DracBlue: �Hello there,� smiles at Cara.
Vin_Da_DM: The hallway that Cara is in heads out to the promenade and to a maintenance door at the far end.
Clarice sits down at the table and pats the empty spot beside her for Katie to sit.
Katie drapes herself over the chair and leans on the table, watching Syne.
Vin_Da_DM: Syne takes a sip of Katie�s drink then hands it back, swishing it around in his mouth for a while he nods. �Not bad��
Luna_Faline lays on her side resting her head on Eclipses chest. �This is nice,� while listening to his heart beat.
Katie takes the glass back with a giggle. �I think I�m getting drunk.� She grins at Kyra, who shakes her head and laughs.
Cara looks down at the blue fuzzball, �Not you again!�
Vin_Da_DM: �Give me the details of this plan and I may be able to get a lot more help for you�� Guardian looks at Gnomon and the robots.
Kyra: �Lord help us,� Kyra smirks.
DracBlue: �Such a greeting. Aren�t you supposed to be their friend?�
Katie blinks, then looks at Clarice. �This reminds me of the old days with your sister.�
Vin_Da_DM: Scorpus hands Guardian a small black data-cube then nods, �If you and your friends wish to help, meet us in docking bay three in 3 hours.�
Clarice takes another drink of her Black Russian and eyes the guy dancing off to her right, �Damn is he built!�
Katie smirks, �Oh yeah. JUST like the old day��
Vin_Da_DM: Guardian nods as Gnomon, Scorpus and the other robot walk away. Tucking the cube into a data-port near his neck the Guardian studies the details.
Claron walks hand in hand with Tabris, �Maybe this shop here,� points to a dress shop.
Vin_Da_DM: �So the olds days consisted of sitting around, drinking and watching some aliens dance to loud music? Sounds a lot like the bounty hunter I copied�� Syne shrugs a bit, �Before I killed him, that is.�
Clarice chuckles. �Old days...wish I had �old day� memories with Claron.�
Katie looks at Syne and shivers. �Hmm. A bad boy.�
Tabris: �Maybe,� Tabris pushes open the door and he and Claron walk inside. The shopkeeper looks up from repairing a hole worn into the counter.
Clarice laughs, �Oh! So you ogled the guys, too, Syne?�
Vin_Da_DM: �Him or me?� Syne looks at Katie.
Katie looks as serious as she can. �You.�
Claron looks at the shop keep, �I am looking for something all black and appropriate for one that is in mourning.�
Vin_Da_DM: Eclipse rests his hand on Luna�s side as he sighs, �With a little bit of imagination it�s like being on a hill near Aventine.�
Vin_Da_DM: Stryder sips on the drink he ordered, then quietly talks to himself, �Wonder how long I should let her run around before I go bring her back��
Katie studies her drink, �I think one of these will be plenty.� She giggles again, then covers her mouth.
Cara looks at the fuzzball, �Friends is not exactly a term I have ever used concerning the others.�
Luna_Faline runs a paw over his arm, �I can almost smell the honeysuckle blooms,� closing my eyes and smiling.
Kyra watches with amusement, �Well, I guess someone will have to carry you to your room tonight.�
DracBlue: �Then you own them?� he asks.
Cara: ~I heard that...besides, no place to run...~
Katie wiggles her eyebrows, then belches softly, �Oh, good heavens. Excuse me.�
Vin_Da_DM: �Not as bad as you�d think,� Syne leans back in his seat, �It was self-defense at the time, and he happened to be the first human I�d seen, so he was suitable to copy.� Syne rubs a finger along the scar on his face, �Physical traits transfers, though.�
Clarice finishes off her drink, �Could use another one of these��
Katie studies him. �Scars are a sign of experience. Nothing wrong with �em.� Fingers her own scars thoughtfully.
Vin_Da_DM: �The light breeze rolling across the grass, the suns setting in the clouds on the horizon, dying sunlight glistening off the palace�s white towers.�� Eclipse describes the scene in his mind to Luna.
Clarice chuckles, �Well�scars, no scars, you are still a mighty fine looking man.�
Katie nods, �Oh, hell yeah.�
Kyra gasps. Katie blushes and looks at her lap.
Katie: �Damn big mouth of mine,� Katie whispers to the table.
Cara chuckles, �Own them? Oh, how I dearly wish that was the case��
Vin_Da_DM: The shopkeeper nods to Claron then moves over to a section of long black dresses, some with hoods.
Tabris looks at them, �I�m not the best at fashion, so pick whatever you think it appropriate.�
DracBlue: �So, do you wanna get away from them?�
Luna_Faline sits up and wipes a lone tear off her cheek. �I miss it too much to do this,� takes a deep breath, �I hope it stays that way. I don�t want to see it destroyed like I dreamed about.�
Kyra pats Katie on the shoulder, still smirking.
Vin_Da_DM: �We�ll do all in our power to prevent that,� Eclipse says as he turns his head to Luna and sits up.
Katie finishes her drink and stares at the far wall.
Vin_Da_DM: Syne smirks, �Was that just a compliment, or are you flirting with me?� He grins at Clarice.
Katie: �I think,� Katie says slowly, �I should see about those shoes.�
Claron picks one of the black dresses with a hood that has no added adornments. Checking the size she slips into the dressing room and puts it own. Gathering her old clothes up her walks out into the shop. �This will do just fine. I�ll take it. How much do we owe you?�
Vin_Da_DM: Guardian takes the data-cube out and tucks it away inside his torso, moving to the edge of the level he looks over scanning for the other Warriors.
Katie rises unsteadily to her feet. Kyra gets up, too. Katie waves her away. �Nah. I�m fine. Finish yer juice.� She wobbles away from the table.
Clarice snickers, �Mighty fine looking mouth to me. Now, what�s a girl gotta do to get another drink around here?� She asks holding her drink up in the air.
Vin_Da_DM: �300,� The shopkeeper says. Tabris looks at Claron then shows his ID chip to the shopkeeper so it can be scanned.
Luna_Faline kisses Eclipse softly, �We have to. I don�t want to lose her. I don�t want to lose Pyre and Byric and�all the others,� looking away and taking another deep breath. �So, we need to get going,� with a calmer sigh.
Vin_Da_DM: The shopkeeper scans it and nods, �Thank you. I am sorry for your loss.�
Dracblue starts bouncing in place as he waits for his answer.
Vin_Da_DM: ~Having fun with the midget?~ Stryder smirks to himself as he takes another sip from his drink.
Cara: ~Oh, loads of fun...about as much fun as spending time with you.~
Vin_Da_DM: �I suppose we do,� Eclipse begins to stand up, �The break, as short as it was, is worth it.�
Katie wobbles out the door and heads for the lift. Kyra watches, debating going after her.
Luna_Faline stands up and wraps her arms around him, �I�m sorry to spoil the moment.�
DracBlue: �Maybe my father can help you get away if you want, Miss.� He says in a nonchalant kind of way.
Vin_Da_DM: ~ Funny, perhaps I should help him annoy you.~ Stryder leans back in his chair debating whether or not to go find Cara.
Kyra sighs, �Well, I need some new shoes anyway.�
Claron thanks the shopkeeper, then turns to Tabris, �Got what I came for...anything else you think we need?"�
Katie steps on the lift just as Kyra runs up, breathless. �You�re drunk, Kat. You can�t be wandering around alone.�
Cara looks down at DracBlue, �Now, you are talking my language. How can your father help me?�
Tabris: �Not sure�� Tabris says.
Vin_Da_DM: Syne snatches Clarice�s cup and takes it back to the bar to get it refilled.
DracBlue: �He�ll be leaving soon after I tell him I�m following someone,� shrugs, �Maybe he�ll help you.�
Katie scowls, �I can do whatever the fuck I want, Darnier. I�m above the age of having to report my actions to a warden.�
Clarice smiles and slurs out, �Well, ain�t he just the sweetest...like his huuuman form a hell lot betttter than his dog form.�
Vin_Da_DM: �You didn�t,� Eclipse smiles at Luna, �You�re just keeping us on track.�
Kyra sighs, �Oh goodie. I get to be the grownup suddenly,� she whispers to herself.
Vin_Da_DM: Syne raises a brow at Clarice holding the glass, �You sure you need another one? Some of those words weren�t very coherent.�
DracBlue starts pushing Cara towards where his father would be.
Kyra tugs Katie off the lift. �I soooo don�t have the strength to carry your drunk ass when you fall down.�
Clarice chuckles. �More is beeter...I�s a big girl... just don�t tell me you isa gonna go all Tewyn on me and slap it out of my hand or moufus.�
Vin_Da_DM: Guardian makes his way to the park level and begins looking for Eclipse and Luna who he noticed earlier from above.
Katie growls. �How the hell am I going to get my shoes, then?�
Luna_Faline lets go of Eclipse and walks over to a pond. �I would hope that some day we won�t have to worry about what track we�re on.�
Vin_Da_DM: Syne hands Clarice the glass and shrugs, �Whatever you want...just puke in someone else�s direction.�
Cara: �Whoa! How you get me here so fast? And unseen, too?�
DracBlue: �I�m a sneaky little guy.�
DracBlue starts chattering in Quickling waiting for his father�s response.
Vin_Da_DM: Stryder shimmers from his spot in the chair and reappears in the hallway in front of Cara and Drac, smirking he looks at them, �Going somewhere?�
Kyra: �We�ll order �em, silly.� Kyra drags Katie back to the pub.
Katie flops into the chair, scowling..
Claron hears her stomach growl, �Maybe we should get a bit to eat, something to drink�
DracBlue: Draconious comes up and chats with him
Kyra shakes her head, �Maybe you should try eating something. Neutralize some of that booze.�
Katie frowns deeper.
DracBlue: Draconious walks up to Cara and asks, �Are you being held against your will?�
Clarice: �Hey, smoking a lil smoke is good upchuck preventive...and thanks,� as she takes the drink from Syne.
Vin_Da_DM: Stryder eyes Cara and crosses his arms.
Vin_Da_DM: �Someday�� Eclipse says as he looks at the water rippling in the pond.
Cara sighs heavily, �Can�t blame me for trying...you know I had to try�almost succeeded, too.�
Kyra: �You stay here.� Kyra tells her, �I�m going to go get you some food next door.�
DracBlue: �Really. So�you are trying to escape then?�
DracBlue: Draconious asks Stryder, �Are you her keeper?�
Clarice, �Who needs food when I got this here,� raising her glass up.
Vin_Da_DM: �Luna, Eclipse there you are.� Guardian says as he approaches them, ducking under a low hanging tree branch. �Seems we have an interesting opportunity presented to us.�
Kyra orders Katie a glass of juice before leaving, shaking her head with a sigh.
Katie traces shapes on the table with her finger.
Vin_Da_DM: �No. But it�s in her best interest to stay,� Stryder looks at Draconious, then at Cara. ~Unprotected, you�d be a target. ~
Clarice: �She don�t need the juice...needs another strong drink, and maybe a good piece of ass.�
Luna_Faline ears twitch hearing Guardian coming. Turning toward him, �Yep, you found us. Did someone get in trouble?�
Katie looks up and grins, �Ohhh, I certainly wouldn�t turn down a piece of ass.�
Vin_Da_DM: Syne raises a brow looking at Clarice and Katie.
Katie: �Even a bad piece of ass, I think.� Katie blinks a few times. �Hey, Clarice. You�ve got amazing eyes.�
DracBlue: �Well, if she was really in need, she could be well protected in my village,� Draconious says as his eyes dart at Cara and he is wondering what kind of trouble she is in.
Cara�s eyes grow large. ~A target! Like being with the Warriors is not enough of a target!?!~
Vin_Da_DM: �Not that I know of,� the Guardian says,� But I ran across an old friend who is apparently on a mission to bring down Rathron Bio-Tech. RD�s company.�
Vin_Da_DM: �I doubt your village could protect her from those who would be looking for her,� Stryder says to Draconious with a stern look.
Clarice smiles at Katie, �Why thanks...although I do envy your emerald eyes��
DracBlue: Draconious looks at him rather skeptically, �A thousand Quicklings isn�t enough to protect her, but a few rag tag younglings are?�
Katie bats her eyes, �Why thank you. They are my favorite feature.� She drops a wink at Clarice.
DracBlue: �Well, since he thinks you are in better hands�may I speak with someone other of your party then. The one my son has taken a likening to, perhaps?� Draconious asks.
Katie leans over to whisper conspiratorially, �Syne�s got nice eyes, too�dontchathink?�
Luna_Faline turns back to the pond to hide my fear from Guardian, �The company? What about Raisha herself?� wrapping my arms around myself.
Vin_Da_DM: Syne watches Clarice and Katie chat then scans the bar crowd.
Vin_Da_DM: �Seeing as she�s the leader and Knight, she would be the priority target,� Guardian says firmly, �But everyone should know the plan, if we�re going after her.�
DracBlue: Draconious then turns to Cara, �I�m sorry, my dear. I can�t seem to help you, but apparently others can. Maybe you should follow them like your life depended on it�as it very well may.� Then follows his son to the bar.
Clarice smile widens, �Hell yeah, nice eyes, firm hard muscles in several of his forms...not to mention he�s got nice ass to look at, too.�
Vin_Da_DM: �Taking down RD�� Eclipse glances at Luna, �This won�t be easy.�
Katie: �MmmHmm.� Katie smiles dreamily.
DracBlue and his father walks into the bar.
DracBlue: Draconious roars with laughter as he sees Katie.
Tabris glances around the promenade, �Looks like the restaurants are down there, let�s go.�
Katie: �Shinta has a nice ass, too. But he�s so�stiff and serious most of the time,� Katie sighs.
Luna_Faline looks at Eclipse, �You have no idea.�� looks back at Guardian, �I just want her eliminated. She can�t keep doing those things.�
Kyra returns with a plate of what looks like pasta. �Here ya go, drunkie. Get some of this in yer belly and I�ll lay off ya.�
DracBlue: Draconious walks to Katie and tugs on her shoulder standing on the table suddenly.
Vin_Da_DM: �I agree. And we need to meet them in 3 hours if we�re going to help them.� Guardian says to Luna and Eclipse, �But it will mean leaving this station and breaking the station laws.�
Katie looks at the plate. �Mmm�it smells good.�
Kyra smiles, �It does at that. You stay here and I�ll go see about some shoes. You trust my judgment?�
DracBlue: Draconious pulls harder on her shoulder demanding her attention.
Luna_Faline shakes my head, �Won�t be the first time we�ve broken a law. But how much trouble will that cause Alexei?�
Cara stands defiantly in front of Stryder, �I still don�t get why after all Mother, Kabal and I did to you....you think taking responsibility for me will ease your own conscience?�
Katie nods, then looks at Draconious. �Oh my Goddess. I�m drunker than I thought. Now there�s TWO of the damn things.�
Claron smiles as she and Tabris head down the promenade to one of the restaurants below.
Vin_Da_DM: �I�m not sure...it may not put us in too good a favor with the Gul-Qian,� Eclipse comments.
DracBlue: Draconious makes her smell something that sobers her up immediately.
Vin_Da_DM: �Alexei may have to be kept out of the loop on this one,� Guardian says with a sigh..
Clarice takes a sip of her drink, �Twice the pleasure.��
Katie wrinkles her nose. �Dammit. There went my buzz.�
Luna_Faline pauses, �We need the Gul-Qian, now may not be the time to run after Raisha,� looking back at the pond.
Vin_Da_DM: �Just hear them out, and I�ll get you another drink, Kat.� Syne leans over and whispers to her.
DracBlue: �Now that I have your attention I must speak with you,� Draconious says.
Katie sighs, �Fine.� She crosses her arms. �What? What is so important that you hafta barge in on my down time?�
DracBlue: �Well, there are some things you should be aware of. I�m pretty sure you haven�t dealt with Quicklings in your time.�
Clarice wonders what the hell Syne is whispering to Katie. �Oh, whispering sweet nothings in our Katie�s ear. That a boy, Syne.�
Vin_Da_DM: �I don�t know, but I�d prefer you alive than dead.� Stryder looks at Cara, �Now, am I going to have to chase you every time to go to the bathroom to make sure you don�t run off?�
Katie looks over at Clarice and blushes, then turns back to Draconious. �I hadn�t intended to deal with one at all.�
DracBlue: �For one, they give you a stone when they meet you and you accept he will stay with you until your or his dying days.�
DracBlue: �Two, if someone hurts him with white magic he will transform as he is mostly made from dark magic.�
Katie: �Oh hell. So, I�ve already agreed to this little thing and didn�t even know it. Greaaaaaaat.� Katie frowns again.
Katie: �Transform into what?� Katie asks curiously.
Vin_Da_DM: �A gremlin!� Syne chuckles.
Katie shoots a look at Syne.
Cara: �Maybe...maybe not...I don�t know. I can�t pretend that I want to be here with you and the others.�
DracBlue: �Three, the main thing to remember is that he will give you small tokens that you seem to like. Most of us don�t know that stealing is bad, so you have to train him. Remember though, he is yours now basically. I will warn you, unless you want to give birth I wouldn�t suggest kissing him on the lips.� Draconious shrugs, �That is all you need to know. You can find out the rest on your own.�
Claron: �So many places to chose from. Been long time since we have seen so many shops and restaurants.�
Vin_Da_DM: �Sounds like quite the little friend you got there, Kat.� Syne smirks.
Vin_Da_DM: �Well, we may want to stick to the ones with signs in English,� Tabris says to Claron looking at the restaurants.
DracBlue pours a liquid into a shot glass and pours it down her throat. It tastes like a sweet nectarous fruit and then says, �Have your buzz back.� Then watches as she becomes wasted.
Clarice: �As if we don�t have enough transformers around��
Katie swats Syne, then groans, �Holy fuckballs of shit. I ain�t kissin� him anywhere, thanks. I dun wanna have furballs.�
Katie slumps in her seat muttering, �Take me now. I�m yours.� drunkenly.
DracBlue: Draconious then runs back to where he left Stryder and Cara, waves goodbye and leaves on his ship.
Clarice grabs Katie�s face, �Well, hells bells, I�ll kiss ya!� planting a huge kiss on Katie�s lips.
DracBlue then sits on Katie�s shoulder asking, �Are you alright?�
Vin_Da_DM: �But we may not get another chance like this one,� Eclipse says to Luna.
Katie�s eyes widen and she sits blinking.
Claron: �Oh, where�s that sense of adventure you have always adored?�
Vin_Da_DM: Guardian looks between the two, �We should discuss this with everyone. Even if you do not agree, I may go with them.�
Kyra wanders looking at shops till she finds one that makes shoes. She goes in and browses.
Luna_Faline growls softly, �I know,� at Eclipse.
Vin_Da_DM: �Adventure�s what you�re after then?� Tabris nods and smirks, closing his eyes he waves his finger around and points, �We�ll eat there!�
Clarice chuckles, �You okay there, McKinnon?�
DracBlue pulls another candy bar looking thing out and starts chewing on it.
Kyra growls, �Oh fuck. I don�t have the money for these.�
Vin_Da_DM: Syne waves his hand in front of Katie, �How many fingers, Kat?�
Luna_Faline shakes my head at Guardian, �Do you think that�s wise at this moment? How many battlefronts can we manage before we collapse?�
Katie blinks, �Sixteen.�
Vin_Da_DM: �There should not be a battle once we�re in Gul-Qian space�� Guardian says then glances at Luna, �RD is someone we cannot let run around unchecked. Her forces continue to grow��
Kyra makes arrangements for the shoes to be held till she can get Katie there to pay for them.
Vin_Da_DM: �That answers that,� Syne sighs, �Looks like you don�t need anymore drinks today, Kat.�
DracBlue gets up and runs to the Guardian.
Katie eyes Syne with a twinkle in her gaze.
Claron giggles, �Can�t read the name of the place...hope the food is edible is all I got to say�� as she and Tabris head towards the establishment he pointed to.
DracBlue: �Wow, are you taller or is it just me?�
Katie: �Okay. Guess it�s bedtime, then.� She wiggles her eyebrows.
Vin_Da_DM: Guardian looks down at Drac for a moment, �Yes?�
Luna_Faline sighs and looks up at the trees shading the garden, �You are right, of course. I�m just scared by what happened to me.�
Clarice: �Damn, sixteen fingers...I only got eight. And damn it! I didn�t feel a thing.�
Vin_Da_DM: �You don�t have to go if you don�t want to,� Eclipse says placing a hand on Luna�s shoulder.
DracBlue: �My father approved of me tagging along with you all. I thought you should be the one to be informed.�
Vin_Da_DM: Guardian nods to Drac, �Understood, while you are here you could go to the others and tell them I have something to discuss.�
Katie leans back in her chair, �I�m hot,� she announces to no one in particular, pulling her tunic top up a bit.
DracBlue: �Woooohooo, a chance to run around.�
Luna_Faline puts my paw on top of his hand, �Well, you�re not going with out me.�
Vin_Da_DM: Syne shakes his head at Katie.
DracBlue runs to each person that he knows informing them where the Guardian is and that he would like to see them.
Clarice finishes her drink. �Ready for bed after one kiss. Damn, don�t take much for you then.�
Kyra heads back to the pub, �Oh shit. She�s worse than when I left her. Who the hell is keeping her snockered?�
Vin_Da_DM: Syne raises a brow after hearing Drac. Sighing he looks at Katie and Clarice, �Wonderful timing...he wants to talk and these two are about to get down and dirty on the tabletop.�
Katie grins at Kyra, �The fuzzyass gamme sumfin freaky. Now I�m hot.�
Katie then looks at Syne. �Well, if you wanna join��
Clarice shrugs her shoulders, �Weren�t me��
DracBlue then runs back to the Guardian, �I told them.�
DracBlue then runs in circles creating miniature tornadoes.
Vin_Da_DM: Syne sighs again, �Oh well...drunk or not I guess they should be there. Come on you two,� Syne stands up waiting for the girls.
Katie looks at the table. �Too hard. Beds are better�of course walls�.� she closes her eyes and lays back again.
Clarice: �Oh, you want a show? Or are you planning on being a participant, too?�
Vin_Da_DM: Stryder looks at Cara, �That was fast...the little guy said Guardian wanted to talk to us.�
DracBlue holds up a little glass with what looks like a milky white fluid up to the Guardian, �We might need this.�
Vin_Da_DM: Grabbing Katie and Clarice each around the waist, Syne hoists them over his shoulders. Shaking his head he looks at Kyra, �Time to go.�
DracBlue then goes back to making tornadoes.
Cara shakes her head, �Can�t keep up with him. Don�t suppose I have a choice in this��
Kyra follows, watching Katie.
Vin_Da_DM: �Doubtable,� Stryder says and extends a hand, �Care to take the express back?�
Katie looks at Clarice, then looks at Syne�s ass and grins.
Katie reaches a hand down slowly�.
Kyra shakes her head, �Katie! No!�
Clarice finds herself looking down at Syne�s ass. �Oh, sooooo strong,� placing a hand on Syne�s ass.
Katie laughs, �Beat me toooooooooo itttttttttttttttt,� she slurs.
Tabris looks at the plate of odd strings and misshapen food, then at Claron. �Well...guess we can eat this on the way to this �meeting� the Guardian is wanting us at.�
Kyra wheezes and leans into a wall laughing, �Oh My Goddess, you two.�
Claron shakes her head, �Or leave it, sorta looks like worms to me.�
Katie slaps herself in the face, �I neeeeed to be soberrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.� Then she looks at Clarice�s hand on Syne�s ass and starts giggling again.
Luna_Faline holds Eclipse�s hand on my shoulder as I turn and put my back against his chest, now his arm is wrapped around me. �Your the shield to my sai, we go together.�
Vin_Da_DM: Walking down the garden path Syne looks at Luna, Eclipse and Guardian with Katie and Clarice over his shoulders touching his ass, �You rang? Don�t mind these two...they�re in the plastered and drunk phase right now.�
Clarice glances over at Katie and winks before she starts laughing, too.
DracBlue: �See, told you we would need that glass, big robot guy.�
Katie waves behind her back, �Hiiiiiiiiiiii guysssssssssss,� she giggles harder.
Vin_Da_DM: Eclipse raises a brow at Syne holding Katie and Clarice, �Just how much did they drink?��
Katie high-fives Clarice, still giggling.
DracBlue: �Katie had one shot of Quickling ale.�
Clarice pipes in slurring, �And Syne is in a hard phase right now.�
Vin_Da_DM: Syne looks at Guardian, Luna and Eclipse, �Pardon me for a moment�� Walking over to the edge of the pond he tosses Katie and Clarice into the water one at a time. Then turns around, �We�ll just explain it to them later.�
Luna_Faline shakes my head at the scene, �Oh goddess,� as the girls get wetter than they already were.
Katie splutters and sits up, �Oooooo, look. I�M SOOOOOOOOOO WET NOW!!!!�
DracBlue looks at Katie runs onto the water tries to stop her from falling in but gets stuck under her.
Katie stands up, then falls on her ass, laughing. �Ohhhhhhhhh fuck, I�m drunk.� Katie wheezes.
DracBlue swims all the way to shore and sighs, �All wet now.�
Tabris takes a handful of the food and downs it, giving an odd look as he swallows. Looking at Claron he coughs for a second, �...phew...bit of a kick to it.�
Clarice feels herself sailing through the air and feels the coolness of the water drench her. �Damn, don�t remember ordering a cold shower, � as she resurfaces.
Vin_Da_DM: Guardian shakes his head not saying anything.
DracBlue makes a tornado on the water pulling the water from the lake letting the water recede enough to let Katie get up.
Katie: �Look.� Katie tells Clarice. �Syne made us wet.� She falls over sideways under the water, laughing and sucking in great mouthfuls of water.
Clarice staggers up and tries to help Katie out of the water, but falls head first back into the water.
Katie stays down.
Clarice staggers back up, then turns to look at Syne, �Oh, you like the wet & wild thing.�
DracBlue then runs to Katie and pulls her out of the water.
Vin_Da_DM: �Those two don�t look like they could fight a bulkhead, much less a whole HQ full of cyborgs.� Eclipse sighs at Luna and Guardian.
Luna_Faline looks at Katie, �I think she needs some mouth to mouth resuscitation.�
Katie coughs up an ocean.
DracBlue: �Ummmm, that�s what that glass is for that I gave Guardian.�
Clarice lifts Katie up and the two of them stagger out of the pond.
Vin_Da_DM: Guardian eyes the glass that Drac gave him and hands it to Luna, �Get them sober will you?�
Katie flops down, laying outside the pond and closes her eyes.
DracBlue: �Just make them smell it.�
Luna_Faline takes the glass with a turned up nose. �Do they drink it or wear it?�
DracBlue eyes go wide, �Neither�JUST SMELL�
Cara: �Expressway? I guess.�
Kyra checks to make sure Katie is breathing, then sighs, relieved.
Luna_Faline steps out of Eclipses arms and moves over to the drunken duo. �Let�s give this a try,� waving the glass around the two girls faces.
Tabris and Claron walk into the park and along the path looking for the others.
Katie swats at the glass, wrinkling her nose, �Ewww, that stinks,� She says clearly.
DracBlue catches the glass.
Vin_Da_DM: Stryder nods to Cara and takes her hand shimmering the two of them into the park very close to the others.
Clarice stands weaving back and forth, �Penance reporting to duty as ordered�� salutes the Guardian sloppily.
DracBlue corks the glass.
Katie rises to her feet, then looks at Syne and turns red. �Oh, I can�t even begin the apologies I owe you.�
Vin_Da_DM: �Ugg...that smells awful,� Eclipse covers his nose.
Luna_Faline looks at the little blue guy, �Okay, so we got one sober.�
Cara draws back as she sees all the other Warriors in front of her.
DracBlue walks up to Cara, �Sorry my father couldn�t help you.�
Katie turns to Kyra, �Did Clarice really kiss me?�
Vin_Da_DM: �No need, Kat,� Syne smiles lightly.
Luna_Faline steps back from the pond and rubs my paw on the grass trying to get rid of the smell.
Kyra laughs, �I dunno. I wasn�t there.�
Cara just nods her head slightly at DracBlue.
Katie: �Oh, there�s more than enough need. But it will wait.� Katie blushes harder and looks away.
Katie sits down on a bench.
Kyra perches on the arm of it.
Luna_Faline sniffs the area as I stand up then whispurrs to Eclipse, �A need for something, but apologies isn�t it.�
Clarice eyes grow wide... �What?...Now, why would I go and do a thing like that?� feeling not as drunk as before.
Vin_Da_DM: Guardian glances over his shoulder noticing Claron and Tabris approaching. �Looks like everyone�s here.�
Kyra smiles at Stryder, and looks curiously at Cara again.
DracBlue throws a party popper at Syne. Popping it at his feet, then jumps round laughing.
Katie fiddles with her chip, not looking at anyone.
Claron notices the dripping wet Katie and Clarice as she and Tabris approach. �Looks like those two decided to take a swim.�
Tabris: �Apparently�� Tabris looks at Claron.
DracBlue creates a tornado round Katie to dry her off.
Katie: �Thanks, beastie.� Katie gives Drac a smile.
Clarice teeters down to a sitting position on the ground.
DracBlue frowns and pulls his claws out punching at the water like he�s angry.
Luna_Faline looks at the group gathered around, then at Guardian, �We need to make a choice on what to do next.�
Vin_Da_DM: �All right�� Guardian steps off the path and close to the nearby tree to give some privacy, �We have been given an opportunity to take out RD, the leader of Rathron Bio-Tech.�
Vin_Da_DM: �But if we decide to go after her, it will break station law,� Guardian says, �If we decide to stay, we may never get another chance like this.�
Cara notices Kyra checking her out.
Katie: At the mention of RD, Katie growls low, �Oh, I�ve got a few things to say to that bitch.� She rubs her jaw, remembering it shattering.
DracBlue ears perk up as he hears bio-tech.
Luna_Faline looks at Katie, �Your not the only one.�
Katie nods, �Clarice, too.�
Tabris: �That crazy cyborg chick�� Tabris comments as he looks at the Guardian.
Kyra sits quietly listening.
Vin_Da_DM: �RD�� Stryder narrows his gaze at mention of her name, giving a glance to Cara.
Katie: �She�s made more than a few memories with several of us.� Katie says quietly.
DracBlue: �What did I get myself into�� he says quietly and starts to shake at the talk of cyborgs.
Clarice shakes her head, �RD... had hoped I wouldn�t ever have to see that bitch again.�
Katie looks up at the Guardian, �I�m in,� she says somberly.
DracBlue starts mumbling words really loudly that apparently there are no translations for and that most would shun.
Vin_Da_DM: Guardians nods to Katie then looks at the others, �I need to know who is in and who isn�t.�
Cara looks back at Stryder unable to stop her thought, ~Auntie RD, just the person that would do anything for Mother, bet she�ll help me.~
Luna_Faline nods at Clarice, �I�ve wanted to kill her since...but the timing sucks. We may not get another chance to make an alliance with the Gul_Qian.�
Clarice looks at Katie. �She�s mine...I owe that bitch big time.�
Katie smiles evilly. �Oh I dunno. I think everyone should get a turn,� looks over at Luna.
DracBlue creates a tornado round Clarice drying her off.
Clarice nods her head at Katie, then at Luna, �Or we three can make sure our faces are last ones she ever sees.�
Katie: �Oh I like that idea.� Katie grins. �Sound like a plan, Kitty?�
DracBlue then sits in the water splashing like he doesn�t even care what the rest do.
Luna_Faline looks at Eclipse, then backs away from the girls. �It�s not gonna be that easy.�
Vin_Da_DM: �So we have two choices...both with their pros and cons,� Eclipse says.
Katie shrugs, �What is EVER easy with us?�
DracBlue digs round for something shiny.
Cara listens to the other Warriors. ~She always was just as sweet as could be to me.~
Luna_Faline prowls around the area slowly, then stops next to Eclipse and takes his hand, �I go with you.�
DracBlue finds a shiny pebble and screams with excitement and dancing round with it in his hand.
Claron moves closer to Tabris slipping her arm around his waist.
DracBlue hands the shiny pebble to Katie.
Katie takes the stone.
DracBlue: �Shiny,� smiles softly.
Vin_Da_DM: Eclipse nods to Luna then looks at Guardian, �I�ll go then��
DracBlue then goes back to looking for shineys.
Clarice: �You can count me in.�
Vin_Da_DM: Stryder glances at Cara then says firmly to the Guardian, �That woman took me away from my parents, I want to see her fall��
Cara looks at Stryder, then at each of the other Warriors. �I will go, too.� ~And I will very much enjoy seeing all of you fall.~
Vin_Da_DM: Guardian looks around, �And the rest of you?�
Claron looks at her son, then back at Tabris, �WE will go. Couldn�t bare to lose another one��
Luna_Faline looks down at my dress, �Never fails.�
Kyra nods, �Me too.�
Vin_Da_DM: ~I wouldn�t count on that.~ Stryder eyes Cara.
DracBlue: �I am just following and protecting Katie, so where she goes I do.�
Cara: ~We SHALL see...seems they have never been very successful in the past.~
Vin_Da_DM: �Then it�s settled�� Guardian nods confidentially and turns, �We should head to docking bay 3 to meet the others and get the full details of this operation.�
Katie sighs, �Shinta�I don�t like going into battle without you, dammit.�
DracBlue: �You have me instead,� smiles at Katie.
Clarice looks around and realizes she doesn�t see any signs of Tewyn, �Where the hell is my drow?�
Kyra pats Katie�s shoulder, �I�ve got your back. You know that.�
Katie nods, �I know, honey. But Shinta and I�we�ve been a team all along.�
Luna_Faline looks around at Clarice, �Same as always, not where YOU need him.�
Vin_Da_DM: �May not have Shinta, but you�ve got the rest of us, Kat.� Syne says with a reassuring gesture.
Kyra looks down, �Well, he must have had his reasons for leaving you to deal with this alone.�
Clarice sighs heavily as she looks at Cara standing next to Stryder.
Tabris: �Tewyn? Haven�t seen him�� Tabris replies to Clarice, �Course, his disappearing isn�t anything new.�
DracBlue finds a rusty nail and eats it.
Katie smiles warmly, �I know, Rogue. And I�m grateful.� She turns to Kyra, �Well, I�ve given up trying to figure out his damned reasons.�
DracBlue sticks his tongue out and scrapes it.
DracBlue realizes he can�t eat metals. He doesn�t know what isn�t metal anymore because he�s not on his own world. �Ahhh, hell.�
Vin_Da_DM: Guardian begins to walk down the path then glances over his shoulder at the others, �Coming?�
DracBlue sits on Katie�s shoulders.
Luna_Faline picks up my bag of old clothes, �What about our purchases?�
Vin_Da_DM: �Take them with you or leave them here,� Guardian says and continues walking toward the elevators.
Katie gets up and heads to the docking bay. Kyra follows.
DracBlue: �But you�re a cat. Why do you need clothing?�
Luna_Faline looks at the others and shrugs, �We always seem to get caught with our bags in our hands.�
Clarice: �I�s a coming, boss man.�
Luna_Faline sniffs and mumbles, �I already knew that.�
Katie looks over at Clarice, �Never thought I�d say it�but yer not a half bad kisser�.� she grins.
Vin_Da_DM: Eclipse looks at Luna and shrugs, �I could always put your clothes in a safe place��
Clarice blushes crimson red, unable to say anything back in return.
Vin_Da_DM: Syne leans in close to Clarice and Katie, �Kissy, kissy��
Luna_Faline looks at Eclipse and blushes, �I�d like to change first. Would be a shame to get this nice a dress all bloody�
Kyra snickers, �Weird.�
Katie chokes.
Cara: �Guess that means we are to follow the silver giant,� says to Stryder.
DracBlue peers at the cat and raises an eyebrow, then asks Katie, �Why does the kitty wear clothing?�
Vin_Da_DM: �Pretty much,� Stryder says to Cara. ~Don�t think I can�t hear you.~
Katie: �Because some of us have modesty. We don�t like our �attributes� hanging out,� Katie tells Drac.
Vin_Da_DM: Entering the elevator for docking bay 3, the Guardian waits for everyone to file in.
DracBlue: �Attributes?�
Clarice blushes even more as she stares Syne in his eyes and hears his words.
Kyra snickers again, �Not that it protects them from being grabbed,� winks at Clarice.
Luna_Faline lifts my skirt enough to show my sai. �Attributes.�
Cara: ~You don�t have to remind me. I am fully aware you can hear me.~
DracBlue: �Oh, so you hide your magic�s?�
Vin_Da_DM: Eclipse smirks at Luna.
Katie laughs again.
DracBlue frowns and looks at Katie as he says, �Is that not it?�
Luna_Faline looks at Kyra, �I wouldn�t recommend you grabbing my attributes.�
Katie: �Nope. That�s not the attributes I was talkin� about.� Katie says.
Vin_Da_DM: �Hell, my attributes already been grabbed today.� Syne chuckles a bit.
DracBlue: �Well then, what are you talking about?�
Kyra laughs. �Them�s the ones I meant,� she tells Luna.
Clarice chuckles, �Wouldn�t mind grabbing some more of Syne�s attributes.�
Katie grins, �You sayin� a part of you didn�t kinda like it?�
Luna_Faline: �Well, I wouldn�t want you to grab that either.�
DracBlue: �Well then, why don�t you show me what you mean, Katie?�
Kyra chokes laughing while Katie sputters, �I ain�t showin� you mah attributes, fuzzy.�
DracBlue: �And why not?�
Kyra wipes tears, �I was talking about Syne�s being grabbed. I don�t wanna touch yer naughty bits.�
DracBlue: �Naughty bits??????�
Katie shakes her head, �My private spots are not for public display.�
Tabris: �Just quit while you�re ahead, little guy.� Tabris glances down at Drac and shakes his head.
Claron whispers to Tabris, �Judging by some of their comments, I have a feeling we missed something.�
DracBlue: �I have to ask or I will never know.�
Kyra laughs, �You said they�d been displayed publicly a few times.�
Katie swats at Kyra, �Shush. I was drunk.�
DracBlue: �Oh, so you have to be drunk to show them?�
Luna_Faline winks at Claron, �You sisters are a lot alike.�
Vin_Da_DM: Syne shakes his head, �Poor guy...we�re such a bad influence on him��
Kyra snickers, �Drunk or persuaded properly.� Katie glares at her.
Claron: �Oh,� while remembering many times all her assets were publicly exposed.
DracBlue: �I don�t see why she shouldn�t show me. I will eventually see while I am near her.�
Katie stops to adjust her clothing uncomfortably.
Vin_Da_DM: Guardian presses the button on the elevator and it slides shut. It shoots down through the bright and color inner core of a docking arm before arriving at the non-descript bulkheads of the docking bay�s entrance. With a soft chime the door opens leading into the off-white docking bay.
DracBlue: �And why not? You have seen all of myself.�
Katie: �Well, there are some places you will NOT be.� Katie scowls.
DracBlue: �Ummmm, yuu shoulda thought of that before taking the stone there, Katie,� as he frowns.
Clarice leans in and whispers in Katie�s ears, �You can bunk with me,� then looks at DracBlue, �And you shall not be invited,� winks at Katie.
DracBlue frowns and look at the Guardian, �Are they always this protective of themselves?�
Vin_Da_DM: Scorpus, Gnomon and the red robot stand near the docking hatch of their ship. Scorpus looks up towards the others as they arrive, �You�ve brought quite a few friends.�
Katie wiggles her eyebrows at Clarice and laughs.
Vin_Da_DM: Guardian nods to Scorpus, �Indeed...I think it�s time you tell us exactly what you have planned.�
DracBlue just sighs again and sits on Katie's shoulder, more confused than when he started talking.
Luna_Faline steps out of the lift and looks at the trio, �So, where are we heading?�
Vin_Da_DM: Gnomon nods and steps forward, �We�re going to infiltrate Rathron�s HQ by using stolen identification codes, this stolen vessel.� He motions to the ship behind him. �From there we will go about sabotaging the station, and assassinating Raisha Dumerris.�
DracBlue: �Any clue how many and of what species?�
Cara gasps. ~No! NO! NO!~
Luna_Faline judges the three for a moment, �And how did you find the location of her HQ?�
Vin_Da_DM: Scorpus looks at Luna, studying her and the others, �We had an agent on the inside...he died on delivering up-to-date information on RD�s forces and access codes.�
Clarice: Feeling more sober now asks, �What makes you think she will not be expecting something like this?� glances over at Cara next to Stryder.
Luna_Faline shakes my head at Eclipse very slightly, �If he was found out then they may know where the information was going. Why should we trust you? You could be in league with her.�
Vin_Da_DM: �You cannot trust us, just as we cannot trust you,� Gnomon says, �There is much to be gained by destroying Rathron. If you wish to back out, now is your only chance.�
Katie: �And miss our chance to rough that bitch up?� Katie snorts.
Luna_Faline extends my claws, �It wouldn�t be the first time we stepped right into a trap she had set for us. Tricked into trusting someone we shouldn�t have.�
DracBlue whispers into Katie�s ear. �Uummmm, I am not sure if I can protect you from too many,� then frowns.
Clarice: �No way in hell will I back down from this opportunity... she needs to pay for what she and Shaiya did to me!�
Vin_Da_DM: �I do not believe they would deceive us,� Guardian says moving over towards Scorpus, �Especially, when one of them is my former second in wars long past.�
Luna_Faline points a claw at Gnomon, �But that one died on our ship,� with a growl.
Katie nods, �I saw him die.�
Vin_Da_DM: �Ahh, yes...that again,� Gnomon sighs, �That creature, whatever it was, was not me.�
Luna_Faline turns and looks at Syne, �Then who was it?�
Katie: �Well, obviously. But who was it?� Katie peers intently at him.
Vin_Da_DM: �Leonidas�� Eclipse trails off for a moment, then looks at Luna.
Katie turns to Syne. �You were with him. Do you know?�
Claron: �I trust the Guardian. He has never lied to us about anything and has saved all our asses more than once.�
Vin_Da_DM: Syne eyes Katie, �Don�t turn this on me...I couldn�t tell he wasn�t who he appeared to be.�
Luna_Faline looks at Eclipse, �Leonidas?�
Katie: �True enough, Claron.� Katie nods, �But we can�t help being a bit leery.�
Katie laughs, �I wasn�t turning it on you, Rogue. Merely wondering if you had any insight.�
Kyra picks at her nails, listening, but lost.
Luna_Faline steps closer, �You�ve dealt with him,� looking up into his blue eyes.
Claron looks over at Syne. �True, Syne. I believed he was who he said he was...I even brought him back to the ship thinking he was.�
Vin_Da_DM: �Don�t recall him?� Eclipse glances at Luna, �Unfinished business from my past. The one who I fought and as a result of that battle I had to take this body.�
DracBlue: �Wow, you take bodies?�
Luna_Faline nods, �So that�s how he found you.�
Cara stands back quietly listening.
Vin_Da_DM: Scorpus turns towards the ship and pauses next to the hatch, �If we are proceeding with this plan, I suggest we leave. The more time we waste the larger the chance they will discover us.�
Kyra steps closer to Cara, �You ever feel like you�re missing a few chapters of the story?�
Vin_Da_DM: The red robot opens the ships hatch and disappears inside it, Gnomon watches everyone then turns.
Cara glares at Kyra, �No, never.�
Vin_Da_DM: �If you require any weapons we have a small arsenal you can look through,� Scorpus says as he watches Gnomon disappear into the ship.
DracBlue runs on to the ship and looks for a shiny dagger.
Claron and Tabris move together into the ship.
Luna_Faline nods and waits for Eclipse to lead the way.
Vin_Da_DM: Eclipse walks towards the ship�s hatch.
Katie: �Mmm�yes, I�d like a look at your weapons.� Katie follows them in.
Vin_Da_DM: �Time to lock and load, as they say,� Syne says as he follows Katie inside.
Luna_Faline follows Eclipse whispurring, �He is took care of right?�
Clarice quickly moves toward the ships hatch, touching Syne�s ass as she moves up behind him.
Vin_Da_DM: �He won�t be bothering anybody in this lifetime,� Eclipse whispers to Luna.
Luna_Faline shivers at the thought, �There�s always another lifetime for me.�
Vin_Da_DM: Stryder glares at Cara, �Ladies first...I insist.�
DracBlue sits back up on Katie�s shoulder and looks like he fallen into a coma of sorts.
Cara: �Gee thanks,� moving towards the hatch and stepping inside.
Vin_Da_DM: The inside of the ship isn�t extremely large, resembling a modified cargo/drop ship. Several large crates sit at the back of the main room, a few labeled with explosive symbols. �Guns are back there,� Scorpus motions to the non-explosive labeled crates.
Clarice nods towards Scorpus, �How long before we get there�
Luna_Faline looks around, �I doubt that there are even any bunks on this freighter.�
Claron stands watching Stryder with Cara.
Luna_Faline steps behind a stack of crates and takes off the pretty new dress and pulls on my old one quickly, throwing my cloak on as I step back out. �I�m ready.�
Katie looks among the crates, her mind wandering.
Vin_Da_DM: �It should be only a few hours,� Scorpus replies to Claron as the stolen Rathron ship hatch closes and you can hear alarms going off in the docking bay. The ship detaches from the station and rockets away at a fairly quick pace.
Vin_Da_DM: �We�ll be doing a stealth hyper-jump, so it may get a little rough,� Scorpus� bass voice echoes from the cockpit as the engines thrum to into high gear. The ship begins to rattle as the bright light of hyperspace shines through the few windows on the ship.
Vin_Da_DM: Elsewhere, RD looks out of the massive window overlooking a factory
floor covered in giant spider-bots, cybernetic drop ships and legions of cyborgs. Cain calmly walks up behind her and nods, �It is almost complete, Mistress�soon we will be able begin our campaign to conquer this galaxy��
