(Aus) (There, needed to get around to registering it anyhow. <wry grin> Anyhow...)
(Aus) [Dave] <trots on outwards> So where's your car?
(L)  [Tasha]  Over in the employee parking lot, now.. *chuckles a bit, and leads the way*
(Jim) [Morrigan] *follows, smiling at Dave* This should be fun.
* AmyTheLocalNut has joined #EOL_Adventure
(Aus) [Dave] Yeah, it's like a scavenger hunt, sorta. <grins a bit>
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *heads over to cece's bikeor whatever*
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <Mounts her bike>
(Aus) [Dave] Usually, he leaves his starter tag in Central Park, when he wants people to find him. So hopefully he wants people to find him.
(L)  [ Tasha's car is a big ol' towncar- not new, but in very good shape. ]
* L - Tasha tosses the keys to Dave.
(Jim) [Morrigan] That would be good. As opposed to us wandering aimlessly. *laughs*
(L)  [ It's sleek, black, and compltely unadorned. ]
(Aus) [Dave] <catches keys - after nearly bobbling them - and presses the unlock button> 
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *gets on bike too*
(Aus) [Dave] Whoa, cool. 
(Aus) [Dave] <opens the door and settles in> 
(Jim) [Morrigan] *eases into the back seat, behind Dave*
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <Pulls keys out... and starts it>
(Aus) [Dave] <starts up the Tasha Towncar, and waits for her to get in before driving off, since, well...>
* L - Tasha yes, gets in
* L - Tasha on the passanger side.
(L)  [Tasha]  So we go to Central Park and.... look for graffiti?
(L)  [Tasha]  Isn't there a lot of it?
(Aus) [Dave] Well, yeaaah, but you just gotta know which paths to look for. There's one under-bridge in particular -- we gotta get to it on foot, really. <grins and starts driving>
(Jim) [Morrigan] I like adventures. *leans back a bit, looks happy*
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <Follows the Tasha Towncar>
(Aus) [Dave] <leads the way with somebody else's car> 
(Amy) [Ceceylla] Thanks for getting that stuff... 
(Amy) [Ceceylla] I'm looking into the rest... 
(L)  [Tasha]  Sounds interesting.
(Nikki)  (MJ)  No prob..yeah. sorry i couldnt find the rest of it..
(Aus) [Dave] . o O ( Must ... make... conversation... um... )
(L)  [Tasha]  Dave - how long ago did you get your tattoos?
(Amy) [Ceceylla] Or something like that... sorta complicated... not really but... yeah <words trail off>
(Amy) [Ceceylla] Its alright...
(Aus) [Dave] <m> Mordren. <more vocally> Um, well, ... I got the one on my arm done a few months ago. The other one, ah, about a year ago, maybe?
* L - Tasha apologetically smiles, then frowns just slightly.
(L)  [Tasha]  Both from the same person?
(Aus) [Dave] Yep. He does great work.
(Jim) [Morrigan] Do you have any ink, Tasha?
(Aus) [Dave] . o O ( Whew! )
(L)  [Tasha]  No, I've never felt comfortable with the idea of ink under my skin.
(Aus) [Dave] Skin's kinda like canvas, though... they can take music away, but they can't take away your skin.
(Aus) ([E] Want to wager on that?)
* L - Tasha winces a bit.
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <Oddly stares at top of Tasha Towncar... then shakes her head irritated>
* L - Tasha reaches out to pet Dave's hair a moment.
(Jim) [Morrigan] Yeah, sure. Anyway, I just have a little cross somewhere. This will be my first big one.
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *is kinda looking out as they ride*
(Aus) [Dave] <is petted, and shyly smiles a bit> 
* L - Tasha smiles back
(Jim) [Morrigan] . o O {{Her car, and she's riding shotgun ... damn me for playing fair}}
(Amy) [Ceceylla] So do i gather you don't like Dave so much cause of morrigan... or is that totally none of my buisness??
(Nikki)  (MJ)  Dave is cool.. long as he treat her aight, i got no beef with him..
(Aus) [Dave] Okay, CP's coming up -- so we're gonna have to park and hoof it from here on.
(Amy) [Ceceylla] Cool... He seems like the normal Goth... only nice-rr in a way <Snikers... abit>
(Jim) [Morrigan] CP?
(Aus) [Dave] Central Park. The Wonder of New York - artificial nature that man can drive through.
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <spots her hotel... cause it is just around the cornor from Central Park... headake grows bigger>
(Aus) [Dave] <pulls off to a parking place>
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <follows into the parking area>
(Jim) [Morrigan] *quick glance around for weirdos*
* L - Tasha puts a hand to her pocket a moment, nods to herself slightly.
(Aus)  [ Well, it IS Central Park, oft-times meeting place for freaks, weirdos, and clubs. ]
(Aus)  [ At the moment, though, it doesn't look like anyone particularly unusual for New York is nearby. ]
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *does the glancy thing too, and joins the group of the soon to be inked*
(Aus)  [ A couple of pedestrians on footpaths, an occasional passing car or bicycle... and then there's you people, fulfilling CP's freak quota for the moment. ]
(Jim) [Morrigan] *cracks her knuckles* Okay ... so .. which way to the bridge?
* L - Tasha gets out of the car after they do the parking thing.
(Aus) [Dave] <gets out, locks up the car, and starts heading offwards> It's this way... basically, we just follow this path till we hit the bridge, then go down and look under it.
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <parks bike, pockets keys... joins others>
(Jim) [Morrigan] Sounds good. *takes Dave's arm* Lay on, McDuff ...
(Jim) {{Yes, she knows Shakespeare that well, lol}}
(Aus) [Dave] And damned be him who first cries 'Hold, enough'?
(Aus) (Bonus points for not using 'lead' instead of 'lay'.)
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <after a short linger at parking area... lol Weird crazy CECE... then Joins others>
(Jim) [Morrigan] All that, and literate too ... *wink*
(Aus) [Dave] <doesn't seem to mind his arm being taken, as long as it's still attached to his body, hehe.>
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *offers his arm, cause the other dude has a chick on his arm,lol*
* L - Tasha looks slightly annoyed, and drops back to follow behind the 'couples'.
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <Takes offered arm... With smiles>
(Amy) [Ceceylla] So when was the last time you saw this guy Dave? 
(Jim) [Morrigan] *turns* Hey ... Mordren's other arm looks a little naked ... you should come on up here and keep it company. *chuckles*
(L)  [Tasha]  Quite alright.
(L)  [Tasha]  Someone should watch the rear.
(Amy) [Ceceylla] Mordren... So its Mordren now... <Whispering to self all confussed>
(Aus) [Dave] Bout three months ago when I had the arm done.
(Jim) [Morrigan] *glances at Dave's rear* I see the logic in what you say. *nods*
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <nods>
(Aus) [Dave] Took me a couple of months to decide on this one.
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *is happy to have a girl on his arm,lol*
(Aus)  [ Sure enough, follow the path long enough, and there's a bridge where it goes over a car through-way, or whatever the heck one calls those. ]
(Jim) {{an underpass?}}
* L - Tasha rolls her eyes.
(Aus) (Probably, yep. <grin>)
(Aus) [Dave] <is perfectly happy to have a girl on his arm, and points> Okay, that's the bridge -- so we just climb down from here, and check out the walls.
* jasonbeast - Morrigan *starts climbing*
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <looking back at Tasha> Tasha you going to get a tattoo too??
(L)  [Tasha]  No. I don't ink myself.
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <feels sorta silly... really just trying to have friendly converstaion with her... didn't know what else to say>
(Amy) [Ceceylla] Understandable... 
* L - Tasha stays at the top a moment, taking a good look around before following.
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *climbs or whateer*
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <climbs down with others... but sorta slips... sorta on purpose... hehe>
(Aus)  [ It looks like there's a bum picking through a trash can further down the path... on the underpass itself, it's pretty much just one of those roads that's got a sidewalk on either side, with a little fence so people don't wait under the bridge and leap at cars or something. ]
* jasonbeast - Morrigan hits the ground, looks around at the myriad grafitti on the walls
(Jim) [Morrigan] Damn.
(Jim) [Morrigan] Every skatpunk in the city has tagged this place ...
(Jim) *skatepunk
(Aus) [Dave] Yeah, it's a pretty popular spot. Look for a black lizard, that's what we're looking for.
* jasonbeast - Morrigan takes out a mini-Maglight and starts playing it over the wall
(Jim) [Morrigan] Shame we're not looking for Hootchiemama27 ... she's everywhere ...
(Aus) [Dave] I'm sure she has been.
* jasonbeast - Morrigan chuckles
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *looks at the tags*
* L - Tasha looks out for lizards, and other sorts of things.
(Aus)  [ What a mess. Gang symbols, 'so and so rules', a 'Human Pride' insignia... ]
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *points to a tag* Is that it?
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <there arn't like any clowns or anything right... CeCe hopes there isn't>
(Aus)  [ Fortunately, the only clowns here are the people who painted some of this trash. ]
* L - Tasha eyes the huamn pride with a raised brow.
* jasonbeast - Morrigan glances at the tag, then at Tasha, then away quickly
(Jim) [Morrigan] You got it, MJ?
(Aus)  [ And under a graffiti about how 'Ronaldo's Mom Molests Little Kids', a thing that might be a black lizard - pretty well-painted for a piece of graffiti - along with a V. ]
(Aus)  [ Looks like MJ's found the right one. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<looks sorta relieved at no clowns... looks at where MJ is looking>
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *shrugs and plays it off all cool like*
(Aus) [Dave] ... Yeah. Uh... hope you guys don't mind subways...
(Jim) [Morrigan] Subways rock. Let's go.
(Nikki)  (MJ)  I used to ride em all da time.
(Aus) [Dave] Okay, great. <grins a bit> That's where we're headed.
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <Looks as if to say someting... but doesn't>
(L)  [Tasha]  Charming.
(Aus) [Dave] Nearest subway station's a short walk away from here - or we can move the vehicles first, if you guys aren't fond of leaving 'em near the Park.
(L)  [Tasha]  My car can take care of itself.
(Aus) [Dave] Right then. <makes to start climbing back out> 
(Amy) [Ceceylla] I wouldn't mind the whole moving it... not so trusting of park peoples...
(Jim) [Morrigan] James Bond features, or just not worth stealing?
Session Close: Thu Aug 11 00:00:00 2005

Session Start: Thu Aug 11 00:00:00 2005
Session Ident: #EOL_Adventure
(Aus) [Dave] Alright -- meet you at the station, then? We're heading for the one a block north from here - shouldn't miss it.
(Amy) [Ceceylla] Alright... <heads back to bike... Looks at MJ> You staying with umm??
(Amy) [Ceceylla] Cause it's cool if you want too...
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *follows the girl*
* L - Tasha doesn't answer.
(L)  [Tasha]  Let's walk, then.
(Jim) [Morrigan] Yes ... let's ... *takes that arm again*
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <is heading back to the parking area>
(Aus) [Dave] <is taken, and starts walking for the station, looking pretty happy>
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *is following* Whats so important bout this bike?
(Aus)  [ Your bike and car are still there -- huzzah for the Guardians for eating/killing/otherwise removing undesirables from the streets regularly enough that you really can leave things still for a few minutes. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla] Just don't want it stolen... 
* L - Tasha follows along behind them.
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <kinda ignoring question>
(Aus)  [ The subway station's pretty easy to find - just a set of stairs leading downwards to the station itself, really. It's just a fair walk, is all. ]
(Nikki)  (MJ)  It probablly woulda been safe, but if it makes you feel better to keep track of it, its all good
(Jim) {{brb}}
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <Pulls keys out... mounts bike... waits for MJ to get on... and then heads to the subway station>
(Amy) [Ceceylla] Thanks for putting up with weird me... You coulda stayed with the others you know...
(Nikki)  (MJ)  its aight. You should get a bike lock or somethin..make you feel better bout leavin it places
(Jim) [Morrigan] So what do you like to do for fun, Tasha?
(L)  [Tasha]  Why?
(Jim) [Morrigan] Because I'm making conversation and trying to get to know you. So, what do you like to do for fun?
(L)  [Tasha]  Various things.
(Jim) [Morrigan] Making small talk not being one of them, I guess ... *to Dave* How about you? Aside from lurking in Goth clubs and getting needles in your skin, I mean.
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <finds a parking spot near the station stairway... Looks at MJ> This is the ..place... <odd look... since she is still farly new to town and all>
(Aus) [Dave] Well, heh... I used to write poetry.
(Aus) [Dave] <frowns a bit>
(Nikki)  (MJ)  yea. lets go find em.
(Aus)  [ Here they come, in fact... just crossing the street now. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <takes MJ's arm again> 
(Jim) [Morrigan] Really? Now, that's interesting ... Why don't you, anymore? Danger factor? Or just uninspired?
(Aus) [Dave] My creativity just sort of dried up a few months ago. 
(Aus) [Dave] I've been trying various things to get my rhythm back, but... eh. 
(Jim) [Morrigan] Ah ... I hate when that happens. It does tend to come back, though ... usually when you least expect it to.
(Jim) [Morrigan] Sometimes, you can't force it. It'll come together in its own time, you know?
* L - Tasha frowns distinctly a moment.
(Aus) [Dave] Hope so... I've been trying this advice I read somewhere, and writing down the events of the day so I can get inspiration from that. I gotta write -something-...
(Jim) [Morrigan] Keeps you from getting rusty, too. *gives his arm a little squeeze* Well, that's good.
(Amy) [Ceceylla] Hey guys... <as they get across the street>
* L - Tasha nods to Ceceylla.
(Aus) [Dave] We meet again. <grins a bit>
(Jim) [Morrigan] Hey CC .. MJ ... *walks toward the stairs* So where we headed?
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <grins...> Thought I knew you from somewhere... <giggles>
(Nikki)  (MJ)  Yo.
(Aus) [Dave] Down to the subway. This is gonna be a bit harder -- just keep looking for black lizards. They'll tell us where we've gotta go from here - what station.
* L - Tasha nods slightly, and prepares to do just that- though it might also be noted she's hanging back from the group just a bit.
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <heads for stairs...>
(Jim) [Morrigan] *looks around quickly, notes Tasha's location, frowns ... says nothing*
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <Is looking for little black Lizards>
(Aus)  [ Ah, Station 135. You've got yourself, basically, a pair of subway tracks, and two areas bordering them; turnstiles block your easy entrance to the subway itself, but there's a lot of graffiti out here as well. ]
(L)  [Tasha]  Colorful place.
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *looks at surroundings for strange people and such*
(Jim) [Morrigan] *does the same*
(Aus)  [ The subways aren't exactly uncrowded, even at this hour, as people mill about on their way to/from wherever... most of them give you the 'New York Greeting' (ignore you entirely), though a few people give you a once-over in passing. ]
(Aus)  [ A bored-looking policeman is standing near the turnstile, not really watching anyone in particular. ]
(Aus)  [ It doesn't look like the lizard is anywhere out here - if it's here at all, you're probably going to have to go through. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <Sorta does the Empathic scan of the subways... as long as there arn't any in the moment violent types... she is cool>
(Jim) [Morrigan] *grips Dave's arm a little tighter*
-> *Jasonbeast* Hehe, is Morri on the right or left arm?
(Aus)  [ Cece -- there's one guy here who wants nothing more than to jab a number two pencil through his boss's eyeballs, then throw him onto the subway tracks. ]
(Aus)  [ He's kinda wistfully looking at the subway tracks, envisualizing this ideal work scenario. ]
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *hates everyone..except for possibly the people he is with*
(Nikki) (lol)
(Aus)  [ That would be the easiest-to-read guy here. ]
(Jim) {{[MJ]: They aight.}}
* L - Tasha fishes in her pocket for change to go through the turnstile, assumming it's one of those types.
(Nikki) (LOL)
(Aus)  [ Most of the passersby have the aura of 'don't give a fuck' and are moving on - with the occasional 'hey, hot chicks' or 'what freaks' thought from the stop-and-lookers. ]
(Jim) [Morrigan] fishes it out with her right ... ignores passers-by
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *digs for some change*
(Aus)  [ The turnstile is pretty much one of those 'cash or metrocard' deals; it hasn't been converted to metrocard-only just yet, though only two of the turnstiles take cash. ]
(Aus)  [ The cop eyes the lot of you a moment... mostly making sure you actually pay exact change. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <Is silent as she is taken-in the whole feeling of the area... then takes out change>
(Aus) [Dave] <winces a bit as his arm gets squeezed, and checks himself for money>
* L - Tasha goes through first this time.
(Aus)  [ Click-chunk. Three dollars of your happy cash goes byebye, and the turnstiles let you through without complaint. ]
* jasonbeast - Morrigan politely lets Dave go next
(Aus) [Dave] <pays his fare, and slips on through>
(Aus)  [ Click-chunk. ]
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *waits until everyone else goes through*
* jasonbeast - Morrigan slips through behind Dave, exact change, lightly takes the arm
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <pays fare ...Follows Morrigan through...> 
(Aus)  [ You all are through - the turnstile, that is. On this side, there's signs that list stations by arcane numbering systems, letters and numbers mixing unnaturally to provide destinations when you know they could just put the name of the station and be done with it. ]
(Aus)  [ There's also quite a bit of graffiti - and a hot dog vendor, and a few posters. ]
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *wants a hotdog,lol*
* L - Tasha eyes the vendor, considering the food potential.
(L)  [Tasha]  ... kind of hungry.
(Nikki)  (MJ)  Yea, i need some grub.
(Aus)  [ A recruitment poster for the Friends of the Guardians, a movie poster for the new blockbuster film 'The Vortex', and a poster advertising emergency preparedness. ]
(L)  [Tasha]  It's been ages since I've had a good chilli cheesedog. *wistful smile*
(Aus)  [ Hot dog vendor man looks like, well, a somewhat greasy New York vendor, possibly English ancestry, but it's kinda grimed up now. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <Eyes the Graffiti... looking for Lizard>
(Aus) [Dave] Uh, do you need money? I've got a few bucks...
(L)  [Tasha]  I've got it- do you want something as well?
(Aus)  [ While everyone else fantasizes about long meaty objects, possibly covered in things, Cece starts looking around for lizards. ]
* jasonbeast - Morrigan Hot dogs ... ugh ...
(Jim) [Morrigan] Hot dogs ... yikes.
* L - Tasha fishes in her other pocket, coming up with a twenty.
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *must get his grub on,lol, and does so*
(Aus) [Dave] I... uh, I'll have a bacon cheesedog, please... <almost shyly, after Morrigan's reaction shot>
(Aus) [vendor] Hello... <why, yes, he does have a vague British accent> what can I get for you this fine evening?
(L)  [Tasha]  *to the vendor* One bacon cheesedog for the gentleman, and I'll take a footlong chilli cheese.
(Jim) [Morrigan] *chuckles* I was in training for most of my life. Didn't really consider hot dogs an option.
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <notices the accent for half a sec. than goes back to the search...>
(Nikki)  (MJ)  Half smoke. *nods*
(Aus)  [ Cece -- down on the tracks themselves, now that there isn't a train in the way, you can see a dim shape that might be what you're looking for. Got a light? ]
(Aus)  [ (Well, that's a lousy way of explaining - on the wall next to the tracks, down there. Blah. Hehe.) ]
* jasonbeast - Morrigan casually strolls that-a-way
* L - Tasha hands over money for the grub.
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *hands over his money too*
(Aus) [vendor] <politely enunciates orders and prices, and hands over grub>
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <yep... pulls lighter out... and checks out the shape-e thing>
(Aus) [vendor] Safe travels and excellent journeys to you.
(Aus)  [ Taking a moment to make sure a train isn't about to close in and smack you upside the head, you crouch down to get a closer look. Sure enough... black lizard on grey concrete. With '13C' painted in black under it. ]
(Jim) [Morrigan] *sidles up to Dave, leans close, whispers *13C* in his ear*
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <flips lighteroff... as not to burn fingers... turns to Morrigan and others>
(Jim) [Morrigan] and takes the arm with a little smile
(L)  [Tasha]  Thanks.
* L - Tasha pockets the change, then takes her dog, munching.
(L)  [Tasha]  Mmmmm
(Aus)  [ Mmmm... fresh unidentified meat product. ]
(Aus) [Dave] Hm? Oh, good... that'd be our destination, then... <goes to take a look at the subway map>
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <Walks back over in the direction of MJ>
(Aus)  [ Judging from our friendly subway map, that leads to a destination about eight blocks away (six blocks south, two blocks west). You can either take the subway, or go ahead and drive there (which would probably take longer, assuming the subways are running on time for once.) ]
* jasonbeast - Morrigan tags along
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *is in hotdog land*
(Jim) [Morrigan] I guess we wait. *smiles*
(Aus)  [ Sometimes, a hot dog is just a hot dog. ]
(Jim) [Morrigan] . o O {{Anybody bring a Monopoly board? A copy of War and Peace?}}
(Nikki) (lol)
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *finishes and follows everyone*
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <eyes american meat product... and shivers>
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <following others...>
(Amy) [Ceceylla] So which way is it now?? <to Dave>
(Aus) [Dave] Well, now we go to subway station 13C -- so we wait for the next southbound train.
* L - Tasha munch..munch.
(Aus) [Dave] <chews on a hot dog's tip> 
(Aus) [Dave] <is not inciting homoeroticism, is just eating his damn hot dog>
(Aus)  [ Well, so much for the subway being on time. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <oddly glances at the tracks... then closes her eyes meditativly(sp?) )
(Jim) [Morrigan] *q* So what kind of poetry did you write, hon?
(Aus) [Dave] Huh? Well... heh, mostly goth stuff, a bit of light fantasy - magic, beauty, stuff like that. <makes a face> Just can't seem to get a grip on it anymore.
(Jim) [Morrigan] Sounds fun. *to Tasha* Do you write, paint, anything like that?
(L)  [Tasha]  Not for a long time.
(Jim) [Morrigan] What medim? *encouraging smile*
(Jim) *medium
(L)  [Tasha]  Once, I fancied myself a singer/songwriter.
* jasonbeast - Morrigan smiles a little
(Jim) [Morrigan] Really? Never had the head for writing. I admire that.
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *just follows kinda quiet..still keepin a lookout*
(Aus)  [ A rumbling sound as the subway train approaches... ]
(L)  [Tasha]  Neither did I. Critics aren't kind. They once said my work had 'all the passion of a wet dishrag'.
* jasonbeast - Morrigan still resting hand on Dave's arm
(L)  [Tasha]  Which is why I went into music management- to help those who did have the talent, to get places.
(Jim) [Morrigan] Ouch. *wince* Yeah, my first drama instructor told me I'd be a wonderful tree.
(Amy) [Ceceylla] Tree... <Said sorta ackward... eyes still closed>
(Aus)  [ Those who are keeping a particularly good eye out might notice that it's getting awfully windy in here. ]
(Jim) [Morrigan] Management? Really? Hm ... Well, lots of talent to manage around our place.
(L)  [Tasha]  Yes, it's been a while.
* jasonbeast - Morrigan is trailing off, and trying to figure out wtf is up with that
(L)  [Tasha]  But that's what I did, and what it would seem that I'm returning to. *doesn't seem alarmed- it's an aproaching train*
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *noticed or whatever*
(Jim) [Morrigan] Sounds like a good plan to me.
(Aus)  [ Cece is busy paying attention to something only she can really tune into. Everyone else, a subway train pulls up, disgorging its human cargo into the station. ]
* jasonbeast - Morrigan is waiting for Dave to go
(Aus)  [ As with most New Yorkers, they don't seem to really care about your existence, and make their way outwards. ]
(Aus) [Dave] <climbs aboard, and finds himself a seat>
* jasonbeast - Morrigan follows, drapes a bit
(Aus) [Dave] <is happy to have drapery. Damn the man>
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *follows*
* L - Tasha sighs, sits alone.
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <faitly... hears the train... outa her busy head...>
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <Joins others>
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <sorta sits by herself though>
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *looks a little concerned* Hey, whats up?
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <doesn't hear MJ>
(Jim) [Morrigan] *glances up at the sound of MJ's voice ... looks away again, smiles at Dave*
(Aus)  [ You settle aboard, and off you go, riding the joy of public transit. ]
(Aus) [Dave] <smiles> 
* jasonbeast - Morrigan . o O {{And there's a sardine can under a seat nearby ... ick ... }}
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *taps Cece on the shoulder*
* L - Tasha stares out the window.
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <sorta defensivly... draws armback... sees its MJ... and stops> Migraine... <doesn't actually put much effort in the fib>
(Amy) [Ceceylla] No worries... i'll be fine
(Aus)  [ Eventually, you reach station 13C. ]
(Jim) [Morrigan] *q* No worries ... *smile*
* jasonbeast - Morrigan *w* We looking in or out of the station?
(Nikki)  (MJ)  AIght..Let me know if you wanna leave or somethin..
(L)  [Tasha]  We get off here?
(Aus) [Dave] In, more than likely... yeah, this is our stop.
* jasonbeast - Morrigan waits for Dave
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <smiles... Sincerely this time> 
(Aus) [Dave] <gets the heck off>
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<follows others off the train> 
(Aus)  [ Sure enough, it's another subway station. ]
(Jim) {{Go figure}}
(Amy) (lol)
* jasonbeast - Morrigan drifts a bit, checking out the walls
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *keeps lookout*
* L - Tasha gets off and checks about.
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <joins in the whole wall checking>
(Aus)  [ It looks a lot like the other, except that there's no hot dog vendor; there's a mural of a playground on one wall, though. ]
(Aus)  [ Kinda pretty... oh, and right next to it, 'Tito = Neighborhood Bitch'. How touching. ]
(Aus)  [ A bit of careful perusal reveals a similar lizard mark on the same place - on the wall by the tracks - once the train's moved on for darker pastures. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <with Children... in the playground painting>
(Jim) [Morrigan] *w, to Dave* Is that it? Can you read it?
(Aus) [Dave] I think so... someone got a light?
(Jim) [Morrigan] shines the mini-mag
(Amy) (was actually a question really... lol)
(Aus)  [ Yes, there's small happy people in the playground; apparently it's meant to inspire fun and happiness. Kinda incongruous for a subway. ]
(Aus)  [ 335/15th, and a lizard, on the tracks. ]
(Aus)  [ ... grr, 335/15th. ]
(Aus)  [ These GM boxes hate it when you start your saying with a number. ]
(Jim) [Morrigan] ALl righty ...
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <in that case... while others are checkingout the lizard... CeCe sorta starts Hysterically laughing... and then abruptly stops...>
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *looks at her*
(Aus) [Dave] ...the hell?
(Nikki)  (MJ)  She aight. Lets keep going.
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <oddly looks at others...> Sorry <sorta whispered like>
(Aus) [Dave] ... o-kay. Well... 335 15th Street, that's where he'll be... I hope. 
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *sticks close to cece* *w* hey..you aight?
* jasonbeast - Morrigan takes his arm again stays close
(L)  [Tasha]  ...
(Aus)  [ At the moment, you're on 13th Street - judging from the sign. (And if this is in no way corresponding to actual New York topography, you have my sincere apologies.) ]
(Aus) [Dave] <heads for the stairs, calm as anything>
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <puts her arm around his> Yeah... sorry.. about that
* L - Tasha follows, watching Morrigan and Dave with a somewhat dark look on her face.
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *was kinda wtf? but ohh, arm, nice, so hes aight now,lol*
(Amy) (lol)
(Jim) {{lol}}
(L)  (( Hehe.. men are simple creatures. ))
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <Following others>
(Amy) (arn't we glad for that... HEHE)
(Aus) [Dave] <leads the way on up, and onto the street> Okay... so we just have to go a couple of blocks south, then follow the road.
(Aus) (It keeps them from interrupting women's catfights.)
(Nikki) (lol)
(L)  [Tasha]  Mmm. *follows*
(Aus)  [ You follow where Dave leads, and eventually end up at 335 15th Street... which seems to be an two-story building with a glass door leading to some stairs, and to another door with a sign 'Greenwood Fertility Clinic.' Hopefully, the tattoo guy doesn't run a sideline in impregnation. ]
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *just kinda looks at doors*
(Aus)  [ Bah. <rewrites that> There's a firstfloor door you can see that has that sign - and stairs that wind up out of sight. And damn does my writing need work. ]
(L)  [Tasha]  Free impregnation with every tat....
(Amy) (brb...CeCe just quite)
(Jim) [Morrigan] *smiles*
(Aus) [Dave] Heh, I don't think he does -that- as well... unless you ask nicely.
(Aus) [Dave] <opens the door, and heads on up the steps, under the pretense that fertility isn't a euphemism for tattooing>
(Nikki) (lol)
(Nikki)  (MJ)  follows
(Aus)  [ At the top of the stairs is a door and an intercom. ]
(Aus) [Dave] <presses the intercom> Hey, Karma? It's me, Mordren.
* AmyTheLocalNut has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
(Aus) [After a moment, the intercom crackles back, with a deep booming voice] Ah, Mordren, back so soon? Didn't expect to see you for awhile yet. Here for the other arm? Heh heh heh.
(Aus) [Dave] No -- I got some friends that want to see your tat-work. They can pay.
(Aus) [The intercom is quiet for a moment, then...] Alright, just a sec, lemme have a look.
(Aus)  [ The door is opened by a tall, muscular gentleman dressed in baggy jeans and a tank top, showing off the many tattoos he has on his chest and arms. ]
(Aus)  [ A black lizard on a chain hangs from his neck - probably his insignia. He wears a pair of contacts that make his eyes look like blue cat eyes, and he's wearing blue latex gloves. ]
(Aus) [Karma] Well, well, nice to see you've found yourself a crowd to hang out with. Come in, come in...
(Aus)  [ Anyone have a really sensitive sense of smell here? ]

* Set by ChanServ on Wed Aug 10 23:02:09
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Aus
(Aus) (Bah, that was unpleasant.)
(Aus) (Okay... on the one hand, this is literally almost over. On the other hand, Jim has to go, and we won't be here tomorrow...)
(L)  (( I say try to finish it up? ))
(Aus) (Alright, hehe... sorry for taking so long.)
(L)  (( No prob- it's a cool 'venture. ))
(Aus)  [ Anyhow -- Karma has a strong, musky scent about him. (Anyone with a REALLY good sense of smell would note that it's cologne - applied heavily.) ]
* AmyTheLocalNut has joined #eol_adventure
(Jim) {{sticking it out ... this is VERY cool}}
(Amy) (i'm back sorry... computer problems... what did i miss...)
(Aus) [Karma] So, who's here for the treatment, first of all?
(Aus) (In short, they've made their way to Karma's place - an unmarked building right above a fertility clinic on 15th Street.)
(Amy) (alrighty... )
(Aus) (Karma, in short, is a rather muscular fellow who has a wide variety of tattoos on his chest and arms, easily seen because he's just wearing baggy pants, a tank top, and a black lizard on a chain around his neck. He's got blue cat's eye contacts, and blue latex gloves on.
(Aus)  [ His 'office', while not very well decorated, does have an adjustable bench for fitting the unusual positions people might have to be in to get tattooed in certain locations; ]
* jasonbeast - Morrigan takes a quick look around, still faintly smiling
(Aus)  [ his tools are mostly out and at the ready, though there is a large black bag on one of the counters, where he probably has more of his equipment. A black portfolio is also on the counter. ]
* L - Tasha checks out the room for other exits and entrances, kind of casually alert.
* jasonbeast - Morrigan browses, looking for interesting tribal stuff
(Aus) [Karma] <noting the look from Morrigan, reaches over to snag the portfolio and hand it over>
(Aus)  [ The portfolio contains a wide variety of patterns and pictures - most of them have a picture, and then a photograph of the tattoo on a body, as a sort of proof that he can actually do the work. ]
(Jim) [Morrigan] *leafing through* Wow ... impressive stuff.
(Aus) [Karma] Thank you. <grins> I have quite a few happy customers.
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *looks*
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<Leans sorta on MJ> So what you going to get?
(Aus)  [ From a look at the portfolio, he does tattoos pretty much anywhere. Wonder who agreed to let him photograph their breast, let alone, wanted a tattoo of a rose there? ]
(Nikki)  (MJ)  I aint decide yet..you pick somethin out..theres too many to decide..maybe that one *pointing to the rose, since it was kind enough to be there,lol*
(Aus) [Dave] <leans against a wall, since the office doesn't really have a great place to sit>
* L - Tasha stands by Dave, touching his hand a moment.
(Aus)  [ Tasha - there's two exits to this room. The door you came in, and a door in the back that seems to be made of metal. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<sees rose... HEHE> Hmmm... 
* jasonbeast - Morrigan is subtlely sizing up the room as well, not paying much attention to the art
(Aus)  [ http://www.7thstreettattoos.com/content/r27-rob-tribal-back-b.jpg Gee, tribal tattoo. ]
(Aus)  [ The room is pretty small for a tattoo parlor - if this guy's on the run a lot, that might make sense. ]
(Aus) [Dave] <squeezes Tasha's hand and grins a bit> Sure you don't want one?
(L)  [Tasha]  I'm sure- it looks lovely on you, but it's not my thing.
(Aus)  [ http://www.7thstreettattoos.com/content/r29-rob-fairy-b.jpg Cute little fairy, maybe? Hehe. ]
(Aus) [Karma] <while Morrigan and Cece are considering their options, to Tasha> This might take a while. If they don't know what they want, it could take a couple of hours to decide... 
(L)  [Tasha]  Quite alright.
(L)  [Tasha]  I'm not going anywhere.
(Aus) [Karma] Well, your call. <chuckle> Just gonna be crowded in here for a while, I guess... 
(Jim) [Morrigan] I was thinking about something in a tribal pattern ... across my uper back ... ANy recommendations?
(Aus) [Karma] <doesn't really seem as happy by the crowd as one might think. That 'fugitive' thing? And leans in to flip through the portfolio.>
(Aus) [Karma] Lemme see what I've got in here that you might like...
* L - Tasha considers the merits of being outside to check for things coming in - but doesn't trust that whole second door.
(Aus) [Karma] How about this one? ( http://www.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/414254/2/Tribal_Tattoo_Accent___vector_.jpg )
(Jim) Oooh ... perfect.  *settles and starts unbuttoning her jacket*
* L - Tasha decides she doesn't really want to see Dave oogling Morrigan's naked back, and starts to head for the door.
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *chooses whatever tattoo that ceceylla picks out for him*
(L)  [Tasha]  Maybe I will go get a little air.
(Aus) [Karma] Now, I request my fifty dollars up front - but you have seen my work, it is worth it, yes?
(Aus) [Karma] Good, I need room to work -- if the rest of you would move a bit back, please. This is supposed to be a two-person room, you know?
(Jim) [Morrigan] *counts it out from a roll in her right front pocket* Yeah, no doubt.
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *got no problem moving back*
(Amy) [Ceceylla] < http://www.inksling.com/images/free_tattoo_flash/fantasy/719.jpg ... bottom blue skull thing for MJ...> What you think about that one for you... i sort like it...
(Aus) [Karma] <pockets the cash> Now then, precisely where do you want it?
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <Moves back>
(Aus) [Dave] <remains where he is -- ooh, singer back viewing potential>
(Aus) [Karma] Straight across the shoulders, or parallel to the spine?
(Jim) [Morrigan] Umm ... Across the shoulders, then below the blades. *pulls her tee-shirt up and over ... now it only covers the front*
* L - Tasha just waits outside, grumbling a bit about things in general, but keeping an eye out.
(Aus) [Dave] <is thinking happy thoughts.>
(Aus) [Karma] <nods, snags the picture from the portfolio for reference, and starts getting out his equipment>
(Aus)  [ Tasha -- are you all the way outside the building, or just in the stairwell? ]
* L - Tasha goes outside, all the way.
(Aus)  [ Alright -- you're waiting outside the building. ]
(Aus) [Karma] Now, how are you with pain? 
(Nikki)  (MJ)  It's aight.
(Jim) [Morrigan] No worries.
(Aus) [Karma] <to MJ> You wait your turn. <grins> I'm doing the lady here first.
(Nikki) (he was talking about the skull tattoo,lol)
(Aus) [Karma] Alright, stretch on out and we'll get down to business. <gestures at the adjustable bench thingus.>
(Aus)  [ It's quiet outside -- very quiet. But you can't really escape the feeling that somebody's watching you. ]
* jasonbeast - Morrigan stretches out ... smiles
* L - Tasha tries to zero in on the feeling, sniffing the air a bit.
(Aus)  [ Y'know how dogs can smell other dogs? Well, vampires can smell other vampires... and it smells kinda like vampires out here. ]
(Aus) [Karma] <settles in to start injecting> Now this will burn like a bitch - just you pay that no mind, it'll go away given its due time.
* L - Tasha starts walking, carefully, trying to judge how far, how many, or anything else she can.
(Aus)  [ Smells like... it's coming from the fertility clinic. Hm... ]
* L - Tasha checks to see if there's any windows she could possibly see in.
(Aus)  [ Sure enough, Morrigan is beginning to feel like her back is on subdued fire where the needles go. Not the most comfortable experience in the world, but having your flesh ripped open by a demon hurts a lot more, so hey. ]
(Aus)  [ There's a window around the side where you can see into the front lobby; there doesn't seem to be anyone there at the moment, though, given the late hour. ]
* L - Tasha absently checks the door to see if it's locked.
(Aus)  [ The door to the fertility clinic is locked. ]
* L - Tasha is getting the uncomfortable feeling that maybe she knows where that metal door leads, and starts heading back for the stairwell.
(Aus)  [ You head back into the stairwell. ]
(Aus)  [ Sure enough, after a few moments, the burning stops -- in fact, it's starting to feel kinda good. Maybe it's just a kinky sort of pain-love, maybe not. Anyone watching, he's got it about 10% done - the main line and one set of curves on the top part, to be precise. ]
(L)  [Tasha]  . 0 (Now ... how to say THERE's VAMPIRES DOWN THERE! without sounding incredibly stupid... hm...)
* L - Tasha peers back into the door.   Pardon me.... *taps James on the shoulder* Can you come here a moment?
(Nikki)  (MJ)  Yeah..i be back.. *follows to doom..or something,lol*
(Aus)  [ One problem with that... ]
(Aus)  [ Someone's gonna have to open the door for Tasha - it's one of those doors that's automatically locked when not opened from the other side. ]
(L)  (( Oops. ))
(Aus)  [ Hehe, sorry about that. ]
(L)  (( Okay, then she gives a little... knock knock ))
(Nikki) ((oops,lol))
(Aus)  [ Someone's knocking on the door. ]
(Aus) [Karma] Mm. <goes to press on a little button on the wall, pausing in his needle stabbing> Who is it?
(Aus)  [ Apparently, that's the intercom. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<opens door>
(L)  [Tasha]  Tasha- I just need to speak to James a moment, outside please.
(Aus)  [ The door opens easily enough for Cece - though Karma looks kinda cranky, hehe. ]
* jasonbeast - Morrigan Sits up a bit ... glances around cautiously
(Aus) [Karma] Go ahead -- this is gonna take a while, anyhow. 
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *shrugs and goes out to possible doom* I be back..
(L)  [Tasha]  Thank you...
(Aus) [Karma] <to Morrigan> Go ahead and settle back down, sorry about that. 
* L - Tasha heads on into the stairwell, and towards the outdoors
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <Slips out with MJ... knowing the bad.. tasha is senseing>
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *heads on out* Yo, whats up?
(L)  [Tasha]  *w* Don't want to alarm anyone.. but down in that fertility clinic--- *notes Ceceylla came with* No no... I wanted you to stay up there. This is bad.
(Aus)  [ Karma goes over and recloses the door. ]
(Aus) [Dave] <waves scrunchy-fingeredly at Morrigan while she's up>
(Amy) [Ceceylla] Bad... you don't think i can handel bad... 
(L)  [Tasha]  *waves a dismissive hand* *w* No, I don't want to leave Dave alone up there with whatever trouble may come- in case whatever they're injecting into Morrigan is anything but ink.
(Amy) [Ceceylla] Vamps... how many ... <trys to say in not sounding like a Psi Weird>
(Aus) [Karma] <heads back over to get his equipment and get back to work again>
(L)  [Tasha]  *w* There's vampires down in that fertility clinic... and I'm guessing that the metal door might connect to the downstairs. There's somthing wrong about the Karma guy- too much cologne for any good purpose.
(L)  [Tasha]  *w* I don't know how many- I'm not psychic or anything. I just smell them.
(Amy) [Ceceylla] Fine...
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <Is psychic... and scans the area>
(Aus)  [ Unfortunately, mediums are great at talking to dead people. Finding the undead is a different story... ]
(Nikki)  (MJ)  I could take 2 or 3 of em...but if theres more than that We SOL
(Aus)  [ You could try looking for a resident ghost, though. ]
(Amy) (lol... hmmm)
(Aus)  [ The place does seem to have that 'yes, people have died here' feel to it, now that you're looking. ]
(L)  [Tasha]  *w* We need a plan. There's an off chance that they might just be completely unrelated to the problem- but that's unlikely.
(Aus)  [ Of course, this being New York, that could have any number of mundane explanations, but... ]
(L)  [Tasha]  We shouldn't leave Dave and Morrigan alone up there, with her being under the ink, and him being... well, Dave.
(Aus)  [ Meanwhile, Karma is semi-patiently waiting for Morrigan to lie back down so he can continue his work. Pesky neighborhood kids. ]
(L)  [Tasha]  *w* But we should also have someone watching here for signs of trouble.
* jasonbeast - Morrigan relaxes ... keeps her eyes open though ... listening to background noises
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <sits on the floor... meditativly calls outward... to any open ghost-y-es>
(Nikki)  (MJ)  yea.. dave is..yeah..so..whats the plan? *is terrible at plan making*
(Aus)  [ Morrigan, you settle back down -- and as Karma resumes injecting you, you can very faintly hear a thrumming sound, like some sort of machine. Not the injection tool, either. ]
(L)  [Tasha]  *w* How good are you two at fighting?
(Jim) [Morrigan] *w* Machine ...
(Aus)  [ Cece -- your call doesn't seem to attract any attention at first. Until something comes shrieking through the wall at you, howling rather desperately. Nobody else gets to hear this. ]
(L)  [Tasha]  *w* And are either of you armed?
(Aus) [Karma] Hmm? <just works on doing his job, hehe>
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<Closing her eyes... even asks ghost children to help by going and find someone... then notices the wall >
(Aus) [ghostly]  They stole my baby from me...
(Nikki)  (MJ)  What you think? *has knifish thing and a stake*
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <not really hearing others> Who took your baby??
(Aus) [ghostly]  Cut it out and made it theirs... it's all gone now, there's nothing...  <is wearing a very pretty blue dress. That's offset by a brutal c-section through fabric and flesh that's exposing some very nasty bits.>
(Amy) [Ceceylla] monsters? 
(L)  [Tasha]  ...? *looks at Ceceylla*
(Aus) [ghostly]  The demons with men's faces, they did... took it away for their own... I want my baby back. I have a name for him.. I do... Thomas. Thomas is a nice name...
(Amy) [Ceceylla] Are they hear now?
(L)  [Tasha]  *q* Um... what is she doing.
(Aus) [ghostly]  They're watching, they're waiting, they like to gobble up little boys and little girls, making them THEIRS...
(Amy) [Ceceylla] Thomas is a gorges name... how many do you think there are? How many bad monster men?
(Nikki)  (MJ)  What's it look like shes doing? *mj has no patience for people he doesnt trust,lol, and he doesnt trust tasha*
(Aus)  [ Morrigan -- that warm feeling is spreading. At the moment, you're feeling about as warm and comfortably buzzed as if you'd downed a few glasses of cinnamon schnapps. Maybe more than a few if you've got a better tolerance than most. ]
(Jim) [Morrigan] ... mmm ... *blink*
(Aus) [ghostly]  They come and they go, in their little white vans, taking people away, putting them back together again, but never the same...
(Aus) [Karma] Just relax -- I'm about a fourth of the way done here.
(Aus) [ghostly]  One high, three low, they come and they go and they come and they go...
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <Talking to others> One of you really should go check on Morrigan and Dave... <back to Ghost>
(L)  [Tasha]  I will.
(L)  [Tasha]  Whatever she's doing... you two be careful out here.
(Amy) [Ceceylla] One high... three low...
(Nikki)  (MJ)  We can keep our own out here
* L - Tasha heads back for the stairwell.
(Aus) [ghostly] <is starting to sound a bit hysterical>  And they come and they take it away, they take things away and when they leave they're never the same, never the same...
(Aus) [Dave] <cheerfully> It's looking very pretty so far...
(Amy) [Ceceylla] Hmm... take things away... hun... what things... just babys?
(Aus)  [ It's also kinda numbing to the point where you can barely even feel where the needle's touching down. ]
(Aus)  [ Tasha heads back up the stairwell... ]
* L - Tasha knocks again.
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *is armed or whatever, waiting for something or someone to jump out at him*
(Aus) [ghostly]  I came here to get help for my baby, and they took my baby away... people come here for help and they leave with less than they had...
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <Walks over to ghost... trying her best to calm the girl>  We want to change that...
(Aus)  [ Things are awfully quiet on the street where you are - mostly empty of foot traffic at this hour, only the occasional passing car. ]
(Aus) [ghostly]  They need to be taken away before they take other people away... they wait until you can't move anymore, and then they take you away...
(Aus)  [ Knock knock knock... ]
(Aus) [Karma] <ignores it>
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <looks for her own ghosty children...> OH FUCK
(Nikki)  (MJ)  Whats up? *has weapon at the ready*
(Aus)  [ Ever get a really bad feeling? ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla]James you really need to get morrigan outa there... now
* jasonbeast - Morrigan ...
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *nods and races halfway up staris, before realizeg door is locked..does the room have windows or anything? cant remember*
(Aus) [Karma] <after a moment> Just a second...
(Amy) [Ceceylla] How many bad men took you baby... how many are there... need to know to help... 
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <pulls her stake outa her jacket>
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<wonders if the ghosty children are about...>
(Aus)  [ The upstairs room didn't have windows - when you look from the outside, you note that's because they've been paneled over. ]
* L - Tasha presses the button.   Mordren, can you let me back in?
(Aus)  [ Cece -- your personal haunters are staying pretty damn far away from this place. Either because they don't feel like helping you, or because they find this place creepy. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <telepathiclly to Dave> ~Open the Fucking door now... please... tis CECE~
(Aus) [Dave] Okay... -- whoa! <blinks. That telepathy trick gets 'em every time>
(Amy) (figures... probley figure if i die... i can be with them more... lol)
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *goes up and tries to break paneling or something to get in, since knocking isnt working*
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <is the ghost lady still there?>
(Aus) [Karma] <rather hastily strides over and makes Dave's head meet the door as he's heading over to open it. Tasha, you note the knob turning for a moment; then there's a loud THUD.
(Aus)  [ Hehe, gimme a sec - I'm trying to keep up with three separate locales here. ]
(Amy) (lol... okkies.. )
(Aus)  [ Alright -- MJ. How are you planning on getting up to the second floor windows - or did you mean the first floor windows? ]
(Nikki)  (MJ)  (theres no fire escape? if not..then the first floor, to get back in the building)
(Aus)  [ Yep, there is indeed a fire escape. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <goes up the stairs... to the room... if the ghost is still there she will try to get it to follow...>
(Aus)  [ You head up it, and for the window attached to that. ]
(Aus)  [ Cece -- ghost lady is still there, wringing her hands, and muttering a lot. You can stop to listen to her - but for the moment, you're heading up the stairs. And, being as you're the first person who's heard her in a while, she's following, sort of. ]
* L - Tasha when she hears the thump, is going to try and kick the door in.
* L - Tasha does not think that's a good sound.
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<telepathiclly to morrigan> ~You still awake?? You need to stay awake... Karma is a bad man~
(Aus)  [ Morrigan -- you're feeling pretty goddamn woozy, but if you're not horribly mistaken, that Karma guy just slammed Dave's head face-first into the door. ]
(Aus)  [ And he's coming back your way. ]
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *is trying to break paneling8
(L)  (( Guess someone had... bad karma *groan* ))
(Nikki) (LOL....)
(Aus)  [ Meanwhile, MJ -- the fire marshall would never approve of this; the back window's been boarded and paneled over. You start kicking your way in - crunch... crack... crunch... ]
(Jim) [Morrigan] Fuck ...
(Aus)  [ And yes, I was waiting for someone to use that pun. Heh heh heh. Black Karma is bad karma, apparently. ]
* jasonbeast - Morrigan gets off the table as steadily as she can and aims a dropkick at Karma's genitalia region
(Aus)  [ Tasha -- you give the door a good stern kick. Under normal circumstances, this would be quite enough. Under these circumstances, the wood is surprisingly solid, and the lock is surprisingly good. Still, enough kicking and beating and you should have it open... ]
* L - Tasha thinks this is one time being a vampire is good- and gets that snarlly vamp face going on, kicking with all her might.
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<Getting to the door... she considtrates on the door... ok going to use PSI Telekinesis to open door>
(Aus) [Karma] <unfortunately for Morrigan, perhaps... turns out to be a little faster than humanly expected, and grabs the foot> I said... <sudden growl> stay in the chair.
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *wont quit until he gets in*
(Aus)  [ Going to ask Tasha to move so you don't bolt her in the back? She's trying to beat the door down the old-fashioned way. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <yep> Tasha move... i might be able to get it...
(Aus)  [ Meanwhile -- MJ, you've managed to break open a section of the paneling. The room beyond is pitch-black darkness... so apparently, it's a different room. If your skills aren't too mistaken, ]
(Aus)  [ probably whatever's behind that steel door eventually leads here, unless someone went REAL crazy on the self-improved architecture. ]
(Aus)  [ Got a light? ]
* L - Tasha considers the merits of this- fuck, she doesn't know if this chick can actually, and Dave's on the other side of the door- but the girl's voice sounds sincere, so she steps aside...
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *mutters something, and has one of those handy flashlights everyone esle has, so shines it in the room*
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <she will even exchange Life points... for PSI energy... just like magic opption>
(Aus)  [ Alright -- do you want to try breaking the door down with raw force, or do you want to try picking the lock? ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<she is really mad... so raw energy>
(Aus) [Karma] <rather irately pushes Morrigan back towards the chair> Sit down before you hurt yourself. Or I hurt you.
(Aus)  [ Alright -- since you wanna use lifepoints, just how many do you wanna use? ]
* jasonbeast - Morrigan *grabs Karma's arm, pulls him along, aims a punch at his face*
(Aus)  [ Fortunately, where strength is failing, training isn't. See why she doesn't eat hot dogs? 'Cause of days like this. Karma doesn't expect actual resistance from this point, so he does end up taking a tumble and a shot to the face. At which point, the face gets a little rumply. Gee, he's a vampire... whaddaya know. ]
(Aus)  [ MJ -- the room you're presently in seems to have some very strange equipment in it. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <10... which exceeds her willpower... but should give a +2... using book rules that is>
(Jim) [Morrigan] No shit ... *kicks him away, reaches for the stake in her BDU pocket*
(Aus)  [ You can't really tell what it is, nor are you directly interested this moment. There's a steel door to your right, and a steel door directly in front of you. ]
(Nikki)  (MJ)  (tries door in front of him)
(Aus)  [ Cece focuses her will, and SHOVES directly in front of her. Hard. ]
(Aus)  [ MJ -- the door is locked. However, the lock mechanism is on your side of the door - so it's simple enough to unlock. ]
(Aus)  [ The wooden door Cece was aimed at shatters open, crashing down rather spectacularly on top of Dave, who's sort of lying in a pile underneath it. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla](opps.. poor dave)
(L)  [Tasha]  Dave!
* L - Tasha 's first move is to pull him out of there, if she can.
(Aus)  [ Cece's migraines are now at all-time high levels - and it looks like Karma is rather busily trying to wrestle Morrigan, and has a slight advantage - kinda-numbed-chick vs. fangster tends to do that. ]
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *unlocks door*
(Aus)  [ Tasha grabs Dave and hauls him out to the stairwell. ]
(Aus)  [ Meanwhile... the steel door suddenly makes a clicking sound... someone's coming! ]
(Jim) [Morrigan] A little help here! *head-butt*
(Aus)  [ Perhaps fortunately for the people in the room, that somebody turns out to be MJ. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<trying not to pay attention to migarine... not very easy... trys to tackel vamp from behind>
(Aus) [Karma] <snarls, and rather angrily attempts to stab Morrigan directly with the injector -- he's getting reeeally pissed off.>
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<Grapple>
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *comes to the resuce!lol..actually, has stake out as he approaches karma*
(Aus) [Karma] <and about a moment and a half later, gets tackled from behind by a cranky psychic friend, and has to change his priorities just a bit.>
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<if she can get a hold of him... she is going to attempt to pull him off morrigan>
(Jim) [Morrigan] *looking for the right place to put a stake*
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *if morrigans clear or whatever, MJ will try to get her away*
* L - Tasha is checking over Dave.
(L)  [Tasha]  Don't be dead... don't be dead...
(Aus)  [ MJ -- Karma's getting pulled back by Cece - which is distracting his attention into wanting to beat her into a bloody, crying puddle of gore. ]
(Aus)  [ This means you can go ahead and grab Morrigan and get her away. On the other hand, she looks like she wants to stab someone at the moment, despite being more than a little wobbly on her feet. ]
(Aus)  [ Tasha... Dave seems to be unconscious, not dead. Apparently, Karma didn't want to just break his neck. ]
* jasonbeast - Morrigan shouts at the top of her voice and thrusts
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *watches to see result*
* L - Tasha is relieved, and gets to her feet, looking for an oppertunity to get into the battle if needed.
(Aus) [Karma] <rather irate that he's getting jumped from behind, goes ahead and backs up -- apparently intending on introducing her to a wall in a rather violent manner. Unfortunately, this does mean that he's pretty damn well exposed to other people trying to stab the fuck out of him... as Morrigan finds out with a rather lucky shot.>
(Aus)  [ The good news -- you've now got yourselves a dust bath, and no imminent danger. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<Hits wall... falls onto ground in Vamp dust> 
(Aus)  [ The bad news -- Morrigan, you might want to get that injector -out- of you, because that numb feeling is getting worse, and travelling. Not to mention now you've probably got a real ugly colored spot on your chest. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<how much damage... cause will use drama point to half it if it is too bad>
(Jim) [Morrigan] *panting* Holy shit ... *falls into a sitting position on the floor*
(Aus)  [ 8 points; it was a slam attack, basically. ]
(L)  [Tasha]  Somewhere downstairs there may be more- I felt vampires.
(Aus)  [ Grrr... eight, anyhow. Though yes, if Cece wants to toss a drama and think she's okay, go for it. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla](oky... ) <runs over to Morrigan and removes injector thing>
(Aus)  [ Speaking of which, it does sound like someone's coming up a flight of stairs... in the direction of the steel door. ]
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *mutters something* We got to get them out of here..
(Jim) [Morrigan] Time to go ... *looks around for Dave*
(Jim) [Morrigan] We all clear?
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *looks towards door* Get them out of here..I got this.
(L)  [Tasha]  Shit... get Dave, get out of here.
(Aus) [Dave] <is pretty much out cold on the floor for the moment, with a bloody wound on his head>
(Jim) [Morrigan] ... Oh no ... shit ...
(Jim) {{who's closes to Dave?}}
(Aus)  [ Cece, you've now got an ink injector. Damn, that must've hurt - it's kinda bloody now that it's been used as an attempted murder weapon. ]
* L - Tasha pulls a gun out of her jacket.
(Aus)  [ From the positioning of people during the fight, Tasha's technically the closest to the door, then Cece, then Morrigan and MJ. ]
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *is watching the door, stake in hand*
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<Drops injector>
(Aus)  [ From the dark room, the sound of that steel door unlocking can be heard, then the door in there opens... ]
(Jim) [Morrigan] Run. *grabs whoever needs grabbing and heads out*
(Aus)  [ MJ -- looking through the door, you notice the barrel of a shotgun come through the door -first-, followed by its owner. ]
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *ducks, and rolls out of the way*
(Aus)  [ Morrigan -- running might be a problem here. Trained you might be, but Slayer you are not -- in effect, you've got a Dex of 1 at the moment, to put it in game terms. So be careful on the stairs, hm? ]
* L - Tasha is trying for the shooting it before it shoots her.
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <moves to the door... helping Morrigan>
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *crawls over to help the ladies if hes not shot or whatever*
(Aus)  [ Anyhow -- who's staying -in- the room, specifically? Dave, I'm guessing, is being grabbed by Morrigan and Cece, and MJ and Tasha are staying up here? ]
* L - Tasha is staying up here.
* nik -MJ is staying.
* L - Tasha figures if these guys are vampires, she needs to delay them at least, so they can get somewhere safe without being followed - having no car here is a bad thing.
(Aus)  [ Alright, I think I've got it. ]
(Jim) {{that's it}}
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<ok... being neftie... Psychic... sending somekind SOS to Val... and Angel... not sure if it will do anygood... woun't hurt to try>
(Aus)  [ The steel door gets pushed open, and as Morrigan and Cece are ducking out of sight around the corner of the stairwell, the sound of a shotgun blast behind them rings out, tearing up the wall a couple of feet behind them. Cece, your spirit guide is long gone right now - probably good, because distractions now would be pretty bad. ]
(Aus)  [ Alright, Cece is working on putting out a tele-phone call. Got it. ]
(Aus)  [ Meanwhile, in the room itself -- the guy who's walking in is paying the most attention to the door -- at which point, Tasha lands a shot on him. It hurts him a little, but doesn't seem to impress him all that much, as he just pumps the shotgun and steps on in. The two guys behind him have pistols, but that doesn't really make them too much less imposing all the same... ]
(Aus)  [ MJ -- you're not directly having a gun pointed at you right this second; what do you do? ]
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *tries to go unnoticed and get one from behind*
(Aus)  [ Alright... you crouch by a counter, figuring that you'll wait until they come into the room and get in front of you before you strike. ]
(Aus)  [ Tasha -- the bad news is, they've got guns. The good news is, that won't kill you. The bad news is, your gun won't kill them either. The really bad news is, you don't usually carry vampire-killing tools as stock-in-trade. ]
(Aus)  [ MJ seems to be waiting to surprise one -- are you going to keep shooting till the gun's empty, or...? ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla] Mj... Holy Water... to vials remember... <pulls umm outa the jacket... Screaming at MJ>
(Aus)  [ You went out with Morri and Dave, remember, Cece? ]
(Aus)  [ If you wanna go back up the stairwell, though, you can... or if you want to shriek that -from- the stairwell, you can. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla](then Telepathiclly then)
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *has his stake ready, and hismun has a drama point or 2 ready to ensure sucess,lol*
(Aus)  [ Alrighty, fair enough. ]
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *reaches into his jacket, after getting the telepathic message...has a brief 'huh?' moment at the telepathy, but gets over it fast*
* L - Tasha notices that they're vamps with guns and just uses the weapon to try and club one instead.
(Aus)  [ Alright... Tasha closes in, as people with guns do what people with guns usually do, and open fire. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<Goes back to SOS... and is defensivly standing over dave outside>
* jasonbeast - Morrigan is keepina an eye on Dave ... is he breathing?
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *notices they are busy shooting at tasha, so runus up behind one, and spalshes a vial of holy water..he has 2 vials left now*
(Aus)  [ MJ -- that had to hurt. Right? Still, it doesn't seem to do much more than be a mild irritant to Tasha - well, okay, having chunks of your back fly out is probably not pleasant. Still, she ends up bashing one upside the head, at which point you introduce one of the others to a faceful of holy water. ]
(Aus)  [ This is not what a vampire really likes, getting a vial of what is effectively acid smashed into ones' face, and he shrieks and backs up, firing wildly in your general direction. ]
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *tries to stake..during gunfire..hopes he gets it, without a mortal wound*
(Aus)  [ Tasha, after being content to empty the shotgun into you, your vamp is trying to do pretty much the same thing to you that you are to it - bash heads in. ]
(Aus)  [ And I do recall that you're throwing a drama point into it, MJ... ]
* nik MJ is using drama point
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<sitting next to dave... meditativly... focusing on SOS... even try to speak to angel if possable>
(Aus)  [ Meanwhile, outside, ]
(Aus)  [ Cece is busy trying to reach an Angel... but you haven't gotten an answer yet. Maybe he's busy - but you'd think an SOS call would get a faster answer. Maybe it's too far away? Or maybe it's just hard to send into the Req from outside? ]
(Aus)  [ Morrigan -- Dave's alive. Probably got himself a concussion, but he's still breathing. ]
(Aus)  [ Inside -- Tasha's face is confronted by a shotgun butt, at about the time that MJ lunges forward, impaling the second guy. ]
(Aus)  [ A bullet cuts directly across his arm just as the owner of the gun it belonged to discovers just what it's like to cease to exist in a spectacular puff. ]
* L - Tasha gets the game face on as she gets hit, looking all snarly and vampirey
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<ok... SOS... to angel.... val... and since she knows she is also psychic... Mandy... if I can't get threw to Angel... cause of club... maybe Mandy can go to him>
* L - Tasha lunges for a piece of doorwood to try and use as a stake
(Aus)  [ The vampire neither one of you are attacking, meanwhile, lashes a kick to Disarm him - getting stabbed with a piece of wood is not his idea of personal fun. ]
(Aus)  [ Okay - Tasha, you retreat from direct combat, and grab yourself a new weapon -- spoiling that whole 'make sure nobody is holding a sharp piece of wood' idea somewhat... ]
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *is distracted by his arm, but once disarmed, gets his second vial of holy acid water out and bodly splashes*
(Aus)  [ Must be either a range problem or a location problem, Cece, 'cause you're getting nothin' right this second. Make a note to kick E's ass later. Or do you have a cell phone? ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<cell phone is missing... dame ghost children...>
(Amy) [Ceceylla] Morrigan... you check dave for a cell phone
(Aus)  [ MJ, you let the second vial fly -- successfully pissing off the vamp who disarmed you. He decides he'd like to explain his displeasure with a symphony entitled 'shoot you until you fall down'. This might be one of those good times to use another Drama Point - picking fights with vamps with guns is a good way to get really badly hurt. ]
* L - Tasha tries to get back into the combat with her improvised stake.
(Nikki) (okies, hes using another drama point)
(Aus)  [ Morrigan - do you have a cell phone? Or do you want to search Dave's body for one? Loot the corpse! ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<wants to go help fight... but can't leave morrigan and dave>
(Aus)  [ MJ, you get the hell out of there -- which is likely wise, as several bullets invest themselves in making the wall directly behind where you were standing become more punctured. ]
(Aus)  [ The sound of gunshots is VERY easily heard from outside. ]
* jasonbeast - Morrigan is pawing through Dave's pockets ... looking for a cell phone ...
(Aus)  [ Hmm... he's got a wallet, he's got a lighter, he's got a small pocketknife, he's got a pencil, he's got -- bingo, cell phone. ]
(Aus)  [ Looks like one of those pay-as-you-go plan phones. ]
(Aus)  [ Shitty quality -- aw, who gives a crap? Who you gonna call? ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<is very fustrated...> How will you be if i head back up... <looking REALLY worried cause of gun shots>
(L) tame lunges at one of the vampires with the wooden-door-piece
* L - Tasha lunges at one of the vampires with the wooden-door-piece
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<knowing the badness of guns... on human flesh>
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *is shot? or..where?
* jasonbeast - Morrigan calls Vito
(Aus)  [ At the moment, MJ, you are very happy to discover that you are not, as yet, filled with holes. ]
(Aus)  [ On the other hand, you are busy hiding for cover behind that adjustable couch. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<bends down to dave... using doctor skill... see if she can get him awake>
(Aus)  [ The couch is probably less than enthused to be serving as your momentary bullet shield. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <Only a 1.. however>
(Aus)  [ Cece settles in to try to doctor up the Davester -- this'd be a cinch if you had some smelling salts on hand, but, well, you don't. ]
(Aus)  [ So, you're busying yourself more with trying to wake him the old-fashioned way -- poking him in areas that aren't likely to cause permanent spinal damage. ]
(Aus)  [ The cell phone works just fine. It's a cell phone. Two bars of reception, but that's enough. ]
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *is hiding and trying to figure out his next move..has 1 vial of holy water left, and a knife..looks around couch for other things to use as weapons(
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<yep... but running outa ideas... try to sort telepathiclly wake him up... not sure if it will work ethir....>
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<without causing brain damage of course... lol>
(Aus)  [ MJ; at the moment, you could grab that black bag off the counter and search it, in the hopes that it has something more useful; you could try going for a shard from the door, but that'd put you back in gunfire range for waaay longer than you'd like... you could grab the injector that Cece dropped earlier, but that might not do any better than your knife. ]
(Jim) [Morrigan] Vito ... ? Vito, we got serious trouble ... *gives him the address* Vampires. Guns. This is bad.
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *goes for the bag*
(Aus)  [ Tasha -- vamp boy seems perfectly content to beat it out with you, using his shotgun as a tool to 'parry' your oncoming thrusting action. ]
(Aus) <vampboy> I don't know who you are, but you made your last mistake today... 
(Aus)  [ MJ spends his turn grabbing that bag in a 'not getting shot' way. The two vamps are more than content to be focusing on Tasha at the moment, so you manage it without getting shot just yet. ]
(Aus)  [ Cece -- at the moment, Dave's busy dreaming of being outside of the Requiem, waiting to get in, but the lines are just horribly long and worse, the cover's been raised to six dollars and all he has is five... ]
(Aus)  [ ...ain't mind-reading fun? It ain't all that hard to read his, apparently. ]
(Amy) (lol)
(Aus)  [ Tasha -- MJ's busy searching the bag (and will be for a bit) -- so for now, you've got two vampires to handle by yourself. This could be a problem. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<in dream... rushes up to Dave...>
(Amy) [Ceceylla]< if she can>
(Nikki) ( i hate when i run short on cash!)
(Aus)  [ Yep, must be a nightmare. [DreamDave] Oh, hello... can you spare a dollar? ]
* L - Tasha thinks about Dave all unconscious like and tries her best, attempting to stake the one that looks more likely to be stakeable.
(Aus)  [ Tasha lunges for the one with the pistol -- and manages to hit a rib. Stabbing someone in the heart isn't as easy as it looks sometimes... ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<ummm... no... wouldn't matter if i could... you remember your Tattoo Guy... the Black Karma Vamp...>
(L)  [Tasha]  Shit.. *starts to pull the stake out, not realizing that she should be paying more attention to the other vamp*
(Aus)  [ [DreamDave] Yeah. I've been thinking about getting a new tattoo, you know. Since the left arm's all fireballs... I'm thinking of making the right one all lightning. ]
(Aus)  [ [DreamDave] 'cept the bitemarks'd make it hard. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<your really dreaming... and you need to wake... up... cause Morrigan... ummm might die if you don't... > <hopes that might modivate... dream guy... >
(Aus)  [ Tasha -- the vamp you were trying to stake swings a punch at you. You get out of the way -- but the vamp who you weren't attacking (blows a drama point and) swipes the piece of wood from you. ]
(Aus)  [ MJ -- that bag contains a wide variety of tattooing equipment... and an equally wide variety of surgical equipment... and a few strange black objects. ]
(Aus)  [ It doesn't contain anything wooden, though you could probably fling dye at people if you really wanted to. ]
* nik mj - Considers flinging dye, and does so, ducking back behind couch
* L - Tasha turns around, surprised.
(Aus)  [ [DreamDave] ... but if I leave now, I'm going to miss the show... ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<Please... > < Whhhhooo... ummm... makes mental picture of outside of Building... were they are now... making the Req. Disappear> 
(Aus) [Shotgun vamp] <attempts to reciprocate on Tasha, somewhat irate about the whole 'chick trying to kill them' thing>
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<no show tonight dave>
(Aus)  [ [Dreamdave] Hey! What's the big idea? <rubs his head> ... fine, it's not like Morrigan was on tonight anyhow... wait... you said... <blip> ]
(Aus)  [ MJ lets pistol-vamp have it in the face with a dye container -- although that doesn't really seem to hurt, it does serve as somewhat of a distraction. Plus, look at the funny green vampire! Hyuk hyuk hyuk. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<Imagens dream dave... and tele CeCe are standing over mental picture of dave... CeCe... and morrigan...> 
(Aus) [Dave] <meanwhile, stirs a bit, mumbling> ... stupid cover...
* L - Tasha stares down at her chest in surprise...
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <see... you on the ground... you need to wake up... see morrigan... she isn't looking good>
* L - Tasha for a moment, thinks it was a close close call...
* L - Tasha - before exploding into a pile of dust.
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <notices him waking up... right?>
(Aus)  [ MJ -- now there's two vampires and you. That isn't good. ]
(Aus) [Dave] <mumbles a bit, and yes, apparently is waking up> Ow...
(Aus)  [ Furthermore -- they kinda have guns still, and now they don't have anything distracting them. That REALLY isn't good. ]
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *is alone, with 2 vamps..has 1 holywater...are strange black objects any good?*
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<goes... back to her own head... lol>
(Aus)  [ Well, they're about the size of a thumbnail. ]
(Aus)  [ Odds are, they aren't very practical in this case. ]
(Nikki) (ok, so no good.)
(Jim) [Morrigan] Dave ... sh ... we're almost out of this ...
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <opens her eyes... holds her painful head>
-> *Nik* Don't forget, you can also use a drama point for a plot twist.
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *uses drama point for plot twist*
(Amy) [Ceceylla]hows the phone helping? <to morrigan>
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *throws everything sharp from bag at vamps as he heads for the other steel door, and window, that he jumps out of*
(Nikki) (or whatever he can get away with)
(Aus)  [ MJ bolts like hell... and though a bullet tags him on the way out, he manages to leap out the window - and the building on the other side helps slow his fall a bit. ]
(Aus)  [ In short -- he's outside, on the ground, and right now, he's in a lot of pain. But at least his legs aren't broken or anything - always a plus. ]
(Aus)  [ Meanwhile, out front, you hear a cease to the gunfire, finally... and then something crashing to the ground on the other side of the building. ]
(Aus) [Dave] <sits up, a bit dazed> ... what the hell's goin' on? Is it the fourth of July or somethin'?
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<defensivly gets up... goes to cornor... and peers around it.. looking for anything bad... like vamps>
(Jim) [Morrigan] More like an ambush. By vampires. With guns.
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *is on ground, not tough or anything cause theres noone around him, yet. hes pretty much 'owowow' right now*
(Aus) [Dave] ... huh?
(Aus)  [ Meanwhile, the distant sound of a pair of motorcycles thrumming through the night can be heard approaching amidst the usual traffic and noise... ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<looks around for vamps... if there are none... goes over to checkout how bad the bleeding is... is there bleeding??...>
(Jim) [Morrigan] It's never a good thing. Keep your head down. *peering into the room*
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<with MJ of course>
(Aus)  [ Right now, MJ is bleeding, scratched up, and just kinda leaped out of a second story window and over a railing. ]
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *is being tough now that cece is around..lol*
(Aus)  [ Morrigan -- you're still outside - does that mean you're heading back in? ]
(Nikki)  (MJ)  I'm aight.
(Jim) {{*no, just looking to see if she can see anything*}}
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<bends down... how bad is the bleeding... cause she personally know how bad gun shots can be>
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *attemts to sit up* I'm fine.
(Aus)  [ From here, if you open the glass door and listen, you can hear the sounds of people reloading guns and cursing, loudly. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<using that doctor skill again>
(Aus)  [ It looks like MJ managed to get a bullet in his shoulder. Probably pretty damn uncomfortable, but it probably could've been worse. ]
(L)  (( Since my character's a little ash pile at the moment, haha... I'm going to go visit the bathroom. brb! ))
(Aus) [upstairs voice] Who the fuck was that? [upstairs voice 2] Shut up and let's go kill the rest of them!
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<Walks around to front... what did the front door look like?>
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *tries to get up and check on the others*
(Jim) [Morrigan] Damn ... *grips stake, looks around, makes sure there's no immediate threat here*
(Aus)  [ The two of you head back around to the front - the front is that glass door that Morri's currently holding open so she can listen to the shouting from inside. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<Wood... of metal>
(Aus)  [ At about this time, the motorcyclists are coming into view -- and it looks like there's four people standing/sitting/wobbling/limping outside of this one building in particular. ]
(L)  [Val]  There they are!
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<Gets stake out again... heads back next to Morrigan>
(Aus)  [ As you pull up, you can see that the standing person is Cece, the sitting person is Dave, the wobbling person is Morrigan, and the limping person is MJ. None of them looks particularly thrilled right now. ]
(Jim) [Morrigan] So, who brought the popcorn?
(Aus) [Angel] <brakes up next to the folks> Heh, sorry, not me...
* L - Val gets on off the bike when they arrive.
(L)  [Val]  What's the sitch?
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<can't help but laugh at Morrigan>
(Aus) [Dave] ... <squinting> Uh... 
(Nikki)  (MJ)  vamps with guns. That tasha chick got dusted.
(Aus) [Dave] ......
(Aus) [Angel] Charming...
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *not much tact right not, sorry*
(Aus)  [ Speaking of vamps with guns, it sounds like they're coming downstairs, reloaded and rather violently inclined. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<looks kinda sad... cause was just getting to like moody vamp lady>
(L)  [Val]  There's karma for you.
* L - Val rushes for the door, drawing a stake out of her pocket and looking ready to roll.
(Jim) [Morrigan] *long look at MJ* ... Tasha ... ?
* L - Val throws in a drama point to take one -out-
(Nikki)  (MJ)  dust..
(Aus)  [ One stake, one kill. Too bad there's two of 'em - and the second guy is rather inclined to fire in your general direction and expect the best. ]
(Jim) [Morrigan] ... *sad look
(Aus) [Dave] ... you mean, like... um... 
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <ok... as bullet flys... trys to force it back at him with telekisis...>
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *with all this talking is trying to stay out of the way of gunfire..1 bullet is plently, thank you*
(Jim) [Morrigan] That's what he means.
(Aus)  [ Alrighty, Cece tries a bullet intervention... ]
(Aus)  [ The bullets don't go -backwards-, but they do rather miss their target. ]
* L - Val is trying to just dodge the bullet.
(Aus) [Dave] ... what the hell happened... ?
* L - Val attempts a sweep kick, wanting to try and get this vamp de-gunned as soon as possible.
(Aus)  [ <winces> Now the dice are being polite... ]
(Nikki)  (MJ)  she got staked in the heart, and poof, dust. It happens.
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<uses telekinsis to rip the gun out of his hands.. if val doesn't get it>
(Aus)  [ Maybe you should try fighting vamps after a show more often, it seems to help -- as a vamp gets tripped, falls backwards, and slides down a few stairs, almost comically surprised. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla](hehe)
(Aus)  [ Cece -- you're really, really getting tired. But, you do manage to yank a gun away. Now you just have to figure out how much migraine medicine to take for all of this pain. ]
(Aus)  [ Vamp boy is unarmed, a bit stunned, and... well, in pretty deep trouble, I'd say. He's also pretty much in full view from the front door, so anyone who wants to try anything can at this point. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<yep... Meds. are CeCe's friends>
* L - Val is going to try to leap onto the downed vamp and drive the stake home on her turn.
(Jim) [Morrigan] *stakes* Fucker.
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<callapses on the hard ground... still kinda awake>
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<cause of head>
(Aus)  [ Girls on vampire action, kids; best served in New York City, where the stakes are polished and the girls are pretty. ]
(Aus)  [ Vamp boy ends up between two chicks and a staircase -- and vacuum-cleaner-material soon follows. ]
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *kneels down to see if Ceces awake, is kinda happy when he realizes she is*
(L)  [Val]  Everyone alright? We all safe and accounted for?
(Aus)  [ Well, the good news is, there's no more vamps. The bad news is, heavy gunfire, even in New York, is bound to draw the cops eventually. ]
(Aus) [Dave] Tasha isn't... <pointing out the obvious>
(Nikki)  (MJ)  I'm aight.
(L)  [Val]  *even though she has mixed feelings about the situation, nods a bit to Dave* Sorry...
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<sorta raises hand...> i'm fine... <but sorta isn't>
(Aus) [Angel] Okay... get in your cars and -- er, where're your cars?
(Aus) [Dave] ... <miserably> Back at Central Park...
(L)  [Val]  Shit. Okay, everyone who can't run is going to be a biker bitch.
(Amy) [Ceceylla]Tasha's... central park... mine subwaystation 
(Nikki)  (MJ)  who got tashas keys?
(Aus) [Dave] Me...
(Jim) [Morrigan] Umm ... Dave ... ?
(Jim) [Morrigan] Right ...
(L)  [Val]  I can get back on my own.
(L)  [Val]  Angel and I will be okay. Two people go on that bike, one goes with Vito.
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<tries to stand... now also sorta wobbaly too>
(Aus)  [ The dim, mournful wail of sirens is heard... ]
(L)  [Val]  Anyone who can't stand is the passenger *notes Cece* Please try not to crash our bikes.
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *gets on a bike or whatever*
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *is driving i guiess*
(L)  [Val]  We'll meet back at the Req and go after cars and whatever tomorrow.
(Aus) [Angel] <to MJ> Take care of the ride, eh?
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *nods*
* L - Val darts into the building -quickly - to see if there's anything she needs to rescue, anything that needs to be snagged, etc.
(Amy) [Ceceylla] <goes with MJ... holding on to him... and all>
(Aus)  [ Who's getting on Vito's bike - Morrigan or Dave? ]
(Jim) {{Morrigan}}
(Aus)  [ Val runs on into the building... upstairs, there's a wrecked place that used to be a tattoo parlor. Tattoo injectors are strewn about, various sharp things are scattered on the floor, and a black bag and black portfolio are on the floor, as well as debris from the shattered door and various bulletmarks. ]
(Aus)  [ There's a steel door up there that's half-open. ]
(Aus)  [ No, you're not getting better descriptions unless you stop and look at something. Which takes time. ]
* L - Val snags bag and portfolio to look at on the run later- and keeps going.
(Aus)  [ Okay -- the steel door leads to a small room, where there's another steel door to the left, also partly open, that leads to stairs down. ]
(Aus)  [ Various odd cabinets and equipment are in this room, but it's too dark to see much. ]
(Aus)  [ There's also a hole in the wall, ]
(Aus)  [ which apparently leads out to the fire escape. Why the window was boarded over, we may never know. ]
* L - Val just making sure there's no obvious prisoners, or anything that looks like something that can be snatched quick - and then heading out.
(Aus)  [ Val doesn't see anything else that's immediately apparent or obvious -- so she runs like hell out for the entrance. ]
(Aus)  [ Motorcycle people gone already, or still waiting around? ]
* jasonbeast - Vito tells the other to go, waits for Val
* L - Val comes on back out
(Jim) [Vito] *revs* Anybody else up there?
(Aus)  [ Those sirens are getting louder. ]
(L)  [Val]  No it's clear- get the hell out of here!
* L - Val notices the Dave, and tugs him along with her.   Come on, come with me and Angel
(Jim) [Vito] *takes off* Follow if you can, split up if you have to ... *and he's off*
(Aus) [Angel] And on that note -- we run.
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<has MJ left yet.. cause if not CECE is going to poke MJ.... and yell alot>
* L - Val is holding on to Dave's hand to help him- carrying him if she needs to.
(Nikki)  (MJ)  *he leaves when everyone else does, or something*
(Aus) [Dave] ... <tries to run after, but is a mite slower than Angel and Val, hehe... if you want to carry him and run, you can do that. It's bound to be faster than his running speed.>
* L - Val just winds up scooping him up.
(L)  [Val]  Just hang on!
(Aus)  [ This ought to make interesting news tomorrow... but for now, your only focus is getting as far away as possible from here... and eventually, back to the Requiem. ]
(Aus)  [ The motorcyclists, obviously, make it there long before Val, Angel, and Dave... but, for the moment, that's the end of that. ]
(Amy) [Ceceylla]<doesn't have a room at the Req. and wonders were she will crash>
(Aus)  [ Only thing is, Morrigan -- now how are you going to get those nasty splotches of ink out of your skin, and can you get that tribal tattoo finished somewhere or will you have to have it removed? ]
(Aus)  [ And who's going to explain to E that his MC is now ashy? Hehe. ]
(Jim) [Morrigan] . o O {{Damn, not showing off much skin for a while ... }}
(L)  (( MJ's staying at the Req, so she could probably come in as his guest, even though it's after club hours. ))
(L)  (( Also, tomorrow, if you haven't already- I suggest you read this thread: http://www.greatestjournal.com/community/end_of_the_line/181085.html which takes place before the events of tonight. :) ))
