IC: Krayzikk"Gust, please shut up. My audio receptors can't take it."
IC: Esao (Morgue, CHI)"Not exactly," I said, showing her a small video feed on my phone of Gust and Ed dancing in the middle of the bullpen. "This is streaming live over the Citadel wi-fi frequency as we speak. It's too late to undo the damage. We, on the other hand, need to stop Gael and contain this nerve gas threat once and for all."I grinned at her and leaned in, kissing her and whispering, "Then we can see about taking that leave" in her ear.-Teezy
IC-Ryllia:"I think I like that idea," I said, giggling slightly. I then looked down at the video on Esao's phone. "I don't know why," I muttered to the Toa of Fire, "But those two look awfully alike, don't you think?"IC-Edubrad:When Gust and Edubrad finished their first song, they moved to another. "I AM HE AS YOU ARE HE AS YOU ARE ME AND WE ARE ALL TOGETHER!" The Toa of Air belted out.
IC: Gust (Bullpen, CHI)"SEE HOW THEY RUN LIKE PIGS FROM A GUN! SEE HOW THEY FLY! I'M CRYYYYYIN!"IC: Esao (Morgue, CHI)"I don't--I'm sorry, what? What does that even mean?"-Teezy
IC-Ryllia:"It's the song," I told Esao, rolling my eyes. "It makes no sense whatsoever."IC-Edubard:"SITTING ON A CORNFLAKE...WAITING FOR THE VAN TO COOME..."
IC: Esao (Morgue, CHI)"How can two people sing that song in such perfect synchronization?"IC: Gust (Bullpen, CHI)"CORPORATION T-SHIRTS, STUPID BLOODY TUESDAY, MAN YOU'VE BEEN A NAUGHTY BOY, YOU LET YOUR FACE GROW LONG""This can't be real life."-Teezy
IC: KrayzikkKrayzikk grimaced as he shut down his audio receptors. Inside his mind, he started to play some of his favorite music.
IC-Ryllia:"I get the feeling there's more to those two than ever we thought." After a moment: "And that includes everything included in my having that feeling about Gust beforehand as it was. Just more added on."IC-Edubard:"I AM THE EGGMAN! (WOO!) THEY ARE THE EGGMEN! (WOO!) I AM THE WALRUS! GOO-GOO GAJOOB!"
IC: Esao (Morgue, CHI)A beeping on my link distracted me from the grotesque display, and I picked it up and listened."Tyrion's got the TOA team ready," I said. "We should get out of here before they do some serious damage. Let Krayzikk deal with it."IC: Gust (Bullpen, CHI)"MR CITY POLICEMAN SITTING, PRETTY LITTLE POLICEMAN IN A ROOOOOOOOOOOOW~"-Teezy
IC-Ryllia:"This needs to be posted on the internet somewhere."IC-EDUBARD:"SEE HOW THEY FLY LIKE LUCY IN THE SKY, SEE HOW THEY RUN...I'M CRYYYIN. I'M CRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYIN'....I'M CRYYYYYYYYYYYYYyyyyyYYYYYyyyYYYYYyYYYYYY'n!"
IC: Esao (Morgue, CHI)I turned to Ryllia slowly; in truth, I was planning on showing Gust later on in the morning and getting a good laugh out of it. But this..."God, I love you so much," I whispered to the genius standing in front of me.IC: Gust (Bullpen, CHI)Finally the song ended, and Gust ran to Esao's office and pulled a guitar out of the closet, beginning to play it with a grin."I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping while my guitar gently weeps..."-Teezy
IC-Ryllia:"What?" I said, feigning innocence. "Everybody could use a good laugh now and then, it keeps up morale!"IC-Edubard:Edubard quickly pulled out an acoustic bass guitar, beginning to play it with Gust."I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping..."Still my guitar gently weeps..."
IC: Esao (Morgue, CHI)"Yeah, well," I said, squeezing her hand and winking, "that's true. People with morale are like unicorns around here."IC: Gust (Bullpen, CHI)Gust thought about asking Ed for a second where exactly he had found the acoustic bass, but he shrugged, grinned, and merely kept on playing."I don't know whyyyyyy nobody told you, how to unfold your looooooove..."-Teezy
IC-Ryllia:"That might just be because those two are on something right now," I said, laughing at Gust and Edubard's antics.IC-Edubard:"I don't know hooow someone controlled you, they bought and sold you..." Edubard smiled, and nodded his head back towards Ryllia's office.
IC: Esao (Morgue, CHI)As Ryllia and I walked towards the helipad where Tyrion and his TOA team were waiting, I stopped and turned back to Ryllia."Ryllia, if you don't want to do this, you don't have to. I don't care if you're Director of Field Ops or not. For your sake, and the sake of the baby, if you want to stay here and run the op from here, let me take control, I'll do it in a heartbeat."-Teezy
IC-Ryllia:"Honestly, Esao," I said to the Toa of Fire in front of me, "I'd be more worried about Gust and Edubard than me or you, alright?" I patted his cheek lightly. "I'll be fine." I then stepped over to the helipad, expecting Esao to follow after me.
IC: Esao (Morgue, CHI)"Yeah," I muttered to myself, straightening my skintight flak jacket and holstering my pistol in my back waistband. "Alright."I followed Ryllia out onto the helipad, putting a hand up to my face to help block the wind from the moving helicopter. Tyrion and four well armed TOA stood inside the helicopter, and I smirked. The TOA, or the Technan Operational Attachment, were what would basically happen if you fitted a TAC team with a tank's worth of armor, ammunition, and full operational command in major operations. They were the best of the best, called on for only the largest cases, and working with them made me feel a bit better about Ryllia's safety.Nothing her impressed look, I hopped into the helicopter and squeezed her hand as we sat down."Welcome to my world," I muttered.-Teezy
IC: IncommodoIncommodo looked thoughtfully at Arkrak. "I have the strangest feeling that we've been here for a very, very long time."
IC: Arkrak"Probably."
IC: Incommodo"What were we doing again?"
IC: Arkrak"Forgot."
IC: Auress (New Metru Nui, Song's Apartment):"W-who were those people?" Auress asked, instantly concerned for both of their safety.
IC: SongSong shakily stood, trying not to look like she had just had several days choppe of her life. "I'm not sure. But I have a few guesses."
IC: Auress (New Metru Nui, Song's Apartment):"Well.. What should we do?" Auress asked again, it looked to her that her luck turned for the worse again, and she felt like she had to run, get as far away from danger as possible, but she had to stay with Song, something didn't seem exactly right, and Auress thought she looked more tired and hurt than she let on.
IC: SongSong shrugged. "Well, I'll call a few friends in the Guard, and get them to clear away the bodies. But that'll have to wait for morning."With a single movement, she slipped her pistol back into her coat. "Unfortunately, this isn't the first time someone's tried to have me killed. This is the most bold attempt, however."She looked at Auress. "Are you alright?"
IC: Auress (New Metru Nui, Song's Apartment):Auress nodded in reply, "Just a bit scared..."
IC: Kirrel (CHI)"Hey, you work here, too?" the Toa of Kinetics asked, "Neat! So do I."Judging by the huge grin on his face, Kirrel wasn't exactly... Sane. But he wasn't insane. Not quite.
IC: SongSong nodded. Carefully, she withdrew a deck of cards from her sleeve and shuffled, again, and again, and again. "Don't worry. Nothing will get past that doorway again." Her voice, though calm, contained a steely determination.With a thought, she started to call up an old ally. Well, maybe not ally. The two traveled in similar circles.>Calling Honnak....
IC: Auress (New Metru Nui, Song's Apartment):Auress sat on the ground, she wasn't sure what Song was doing, but she felt it was best that she waited until she had finished.
IC: Honnak (New Metru Nui)> Call from Song.The massage suprized the Glatorian, to say the least. He did still answer it, though.> You know, I was gonna ask whatever happened to you saying never to contact you again.> But decided against it.
IC: Song>Glad to hear it. I'd hate to have to remind you of why that happened in the first place.>Someone tried to kill me again. I could use some help moving the bodies.Song grit her teeth. She hated asking for help. >I lost some time.She knew Honnak would understand what the statement meant.
IC: Honnak (NMN)That certainly got the guy off of the bench he was sitting on and onto his feet. Pretty quickly, too.> Where are you at?
IC: Song>My house. A few doors down from the Citadel.Song sighed, and opened her fridge, withdrawing a bottle of wine. She didn't usually drink, but this time it was warranted. She poured a glass.>They caught me by surprise.
IC:Honnak (NMN)> Well, I wouldn't expect anything else.Honnak didn't need directions, he knew exacly where she lived. As a matter of fact, he knew where most people lived; making a point to learn. And his implant made it pretty easy to do so, enhancing his brain and all.He set off at a jog towards Song's house, he wasn't very far.> I'll be there in five, no, two minutes.
IC: Auress (New Metru Nui, Song's Apartment):Auress looked at Song in confusion, "What's that stuff that you're drinking?"
IC: Song>Alright.Song glanced over to Auress as she set her deck down on the counter. "Wine. Horrible stuff for you, but it does serve a purpose."
IC: Auress (New Metru Nui, Song's Apartment):She looked confused at Song, "If it's bad, then why are you drinking it?"
IC: SongIt can act as a numbing agent. Not to mention, it induces a pleasurable state of mind." Which I something I sorely need at t he moment.
IC: Honnak (NMN)It didn't take long for the Glatorian to make it to Song's apartment complex, as he knew some of the better short-cuts in the city. He decided it would be good to see her again, even if they parted on less-then-friendly terms.He took the stairs, as he wasn't that keen on taking the elevator. Honnak didn't know a lot about them, but he did know they probably weren't supposed to shake.
IC: SongSong could sense Honnak approaching. Grimacing, she gulped down the last of her drink. "Hello, Honnak."
