-==IC: Blade==-Blade raised an eyebrow, impressed."Well, at least there's one more person I can talk about my past with. Though, I'm not sure how I feel about that person likely knowing it better than I do." Blade said with a chuckle, as he nodded in response, finding the psychic both intriguing, and honestly pretty cool.
OOC: Dang. You guys, I could've been in that fight. :PIC: Belthnor:Belthnor, who was unable to help Song, Auress, and Aclaraung, rushed towards them. His mouth was pressed together as he came, abruptly preventing himself to talk."You guys okay? I got some vials in case," the diamond being said, holding some medical vials in his hand.
IC-Aclaraung:"Just a few lost scales," Aclaraung said. "Nothing too serious." In the meantime, he was holding his own mental contact through Song with Kairan as well, routing it like a circuit around the main hub. He looked around for a while, noticing quite a few things...that he wouldn't comment on.Warrior, he thought to Kairan, I see you have spent time in Hacker territory as well.
-==IC: Blade==-Blade nodded."It's not something I wanted to do, in terms of being stuck in Krahzia, but it did happen, I won't deny that." Blade replied over the same slight mental connection."I presume you've noticed the reasoning for that?" Blade communicated back, intending it for both of the psychics present, slightly wincing, as he sat down; not just because of his shoulder... he did wonder exactly who it was at first, as Aclaraung would notice that confusion, however, he recognized the voice from when the dragon had spoken moments earlier.
OOC: Woops, I meant the Citadel. My bad. :PIC, Kinvex: Kinvex shrugged. "Wait for Emma to wake up, I guess. We'll figure something out after."
-==IC: Kairan//Citadel==-Kairan nodded at that."That's a very good point." Kairan said, as he sat down in a chair as well, and sighed."Today was certainly... Different." Kairan said, a slight frown on his face.
IC: SongSong glanced around, on alert for attack.
IC-Aclaraung:Why, yes, I have noticed, Aclaraung thought to 'Blade.' He looked about, almost as though he were searching for something. His wings twitched slightly-the places where the scales had fallen out were beginning to itch."Is there a Toa of Iron or a good mine somewhere near here?" He asked.
-==IC: Blade==-"Then you've noticed why I had no choice but to stay inside Krahzia until the barrier there went down temporarily. ... And had to rely on an insane pilot to get out." Blade replied mentally, and frowned."That's a very good question. I personally don't know of one, but that doesn't mean one doesn't exist here." Blade said with a slight shrug.
IC: Zynethia, NMNZynethia soon reached a tall, stone building, possessing few windows and even less fire-safety exits. Sighing, she entered the building, wasting no time in making her way to, and then up the staircase. Pausing at the top of the steel stairs, she pulled a key out of one of the inside pockets of her cloak, unlocked the door, and then stepped inside. It was a well-lit, orange and brown colored room, with lots of leather and wooden decorations. Changing into a pair of tight-fitting pants, and a loose T-shirt, she curled up on her gigantic bed, and attempted to fall asleep.OOC: Open for interaction.
OOC: Hey, Spawn, Torch is trying to contact Gust.IC: TorchTime: ~0837Hallway outside Citadel's cafeteriaContacting Gust.Contacting Gust..Contacting Gust..."I don't know why he isn't answering," Torch told Jade. "Just -- just hold on a sec, I'm sure he'll answer."
IC: Lekar (NMN)Still ignoring what was happening outside, Lekar continued sipping his drink. Even though the bartender had run to the back room. Bored, he began noticing random things about the bar. The way he was the only one there. The way chairs and tables lay all over the place, like everyone just left all of a sudden. And most of all, the way the place smelled like drunks. He sighed, and sat back. Slurp.IC: Krash (Krahzia)"WHEEEE!" Krash was sitting on a barrel that had a few fireworks in it. Lit fireworks. He ended up rolling down the stairs. "WHE-EE-E-EEE-EE-EE-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-" Thud. "Ow...."Zakaro
IC: Gust (The Citadel)"Oh, for the love of...">Activate connection."What?" he snapped.>Toa Torch is on the line.Oops.-Teezy
IC: Auress (NMN, A street):Auress groaned as she used her other arm to help her up. When she got up, she cradled her arm, trying to avoid looking at the wound.
-==IC: Blade==-Blade looked over at Auress, and sighed."Take it easy, you just got hit, after all." Blade pointed out, as he leaned against the side of the building, thinking over what had happened.
IC: Song"Hey, kid. You alright?"Song asked, leaning over Auress. Song ignored her own shoulder. She hadn't looked at it, and she didn't intend to."Darn shape-changer caught me by surprise."
IC: TorchTime: ~0838Hallway outside Citadel's cafeteria"Yeah, hi to you, too," Torch responded. First Jade crying, now Gust acting like he had a hangover? "Listen, I'm just outside the cafeteria, and Jade's crying all over me, so could you come down here and cheer her up or something? -- no offense, Jade..."
IC: Gust (Citadel)Commence spittake."Did you say Jade?"Buckle up, kiddies. Prepare for landing."As in, my Jade?"We're all going to die.-Teezy
IC: Auress (NMN, A street):"I-i'll be fine in a bit," She replied, her irregular breathing showed she was trying not to panic.
IC, Kinvex: "Yeah," said Kinvex in agreement. He gently shook Emma, hoping to wake her up. "Wake up, Emma," he said softly.
IC: SongSong sighed. "Breathe, kid. You're all right. Everybody's okay, and we taught the bad guy a lesson."Song put an arm around her shoulders. "And, you didn't panic. Most people would've run. You might've been unconscious, but you were pretty calm when you woke up."
IC: Auress (NMN, A street):Auress shuddered, her shoulder hurt, and she had the distinct feeling something bad had happened, "Did you.. Did you get whoever attacked us?"IC: "Watcher" (Techna/CHI Building/Edubard):Watcher had withdrawn from replying to Edubard's comment, and was more focused on the transfer. 85% complete. He continued to browse through data logs, saved security camera files, the works.
-==IC: Kairan==-Kairan blinked, as he thought he heard something."Did you hear something, that sounded like someone was in disbelief?" Kairan asked, curious.-==IC: Blade==-Blade sighed with a nod, as he put his sword away, and looked at the others."So, who are you all, anyway? And what's with the attacker?" Blade asked, trying to figure out some things here.
IC: SongSong shook her head. "Somebody helped him get away."
IC, Kinvex: "Yeah, I guess. It was probably nothing, though."
IC: TorchTime: ~0838Hallway outside Citadel's cafeteria"Uh... yeah," Torch replied. Something about Gust's reply sounded wrong...Suddenly, Jade's touch felt like the teeth of some monstrous maw, ready to snap shut at the slightest provocation. He stuck his tongue between his teeth in misgiving. "Is there something wrong?" he asked.IC: Gust (Citadel)Commence spittake."Did you say Jade?"Buckle up, kiddies. Prepare for landing."As in, my Jade?"We're all going to die.-Teezy
-==IC: Kairan==-"Probably." Kairan agreed with a nod, as he sighed, and thought of what could be done next.
IC: Gust (Citadel)"Listen to me. Do not make any emotional reaction. Do not make any verbal or facial recognition of what I'm saying. Jade died onboard the ship: what you're seeing is a Great Being named Desdemona who has taken control of Jade's body and is walking around in it. She's not afraid to kill you if she considers you a threat."-Teezy
IC: TorchTime: ~0838Hallway outside Citadel's cafeteriaTorch's heart felt like it had been doused in ice-cold water. "Right," he said, his face adopting the consistency of stone. "I was just wondering. If there's no problem, then, are we still meeting in the cafeteria, or are you busy?"
IC: SongSong glanced at Blade. "Private Eye Song the Ace. That being was sent to kill me."
-==IC: Blade==-Blade frowned at the mention that the assassin was trying to kill her specifically."I see... I apologize, but I honestly have never heard of you. However, if you'd like my assistance, I'd be willing to give it." Blade said with what appeared to be a slight smile that vanished even as he nodded, since to see a smile near Blade was like seeing a blue moon.OOC: =P
IC: SongSong raised an eyebrow. "It's not exactly safe to be near me. Before that shape changer, there was a hit team. Though they were pushovers."
-==IC: Blade==-Blade shrugged."As you might have noticed, I tend to be a trouble magnet myself, especially after that whole incident on that one island. Nothing I can't handle." Blade said with another shrug.
IC: SongSong shrugged. "Your funeral. Maybe literally."
IC: Belthnor:"Now, now. Let's not get hasty."Belthnor then turned to Auress. "Do you need any of my vials to ease the pain?" he offered, hand filled with his medical vials.
-==IC: Blade==-Blade shrugged again."Eh, right now, I'd probably have all of... No, wait, he's dead... So is he... Dunno about that one, but likely..." Blade said, and frowned."Well, at least we figured out that no-one'd be likely to show up at my funeral."OOC: =P
IC: Auress (NMN, A street):Auress shook her head, she didn't want Belthnor to waste any painkillers on her.
IC: Song"According to your memories, Krayzikk Altair would show up just to laugh. Probably something along the lines of 'Who's superior now?'"Song finally looked at her shoulder, and grimaced. There was a burned groove on the top, that took away her armor, and the top few layers of her flesh.
-==IC: Blade==-Blade smirked."Yeah, I was bad, wasn't I?" Blade asked, as he scratched the back of his head with a chuckle, recalling the incident from when he was under Tsuki's control. Blade noticed Song's shoulder, and frowned slightly."That gun appeared to be laser based, which explains that... Looks like it luckily missed your shoulder, but the wound's still not good." Blade commented, making use of some of the skills he had picked up by taking notice on the Island of Pain.
IC: Song"Gee, and I thought I was the detective here!" Song replied sarcastically.IC: JikalJikal regarded Rinnder thoughtfully. "How many were there?"
