[Date: Unclear.] [Weather: Rainy and windy.] [Location: A slum with an odd mix of traditional Japanese street signs and some architecture from London and a few other parts of the world.] [There's a figure running down at the end of the street. He or she is wearing a long jacket and has long black hair. Saki remembers that she has to take this person out, but the details are fuzzy.] [Start] * Saki chases after the person. She reaches for her guns as she sprints after him. * Figure suddenly makes a turn into an alley. Give me a body roll Saki. [Saki moves quickly and then finds herself in the alley. The figure is has leaped up onto a dumpster with english writing and is now bouncing from wall to wall to get up on top of the buildings and away.] * Saki grits her teeth and draws her guns, firing at the person before he can get up top. (roll it.) [The figure gets hit with the first shot and winces and turns to Saki. Saki can now see that she's actually a fairly young girl that looks freigtened. But she keeps bounding away and lands on the rooftop and Saki can take her last shot.] * Saki frowns. Something about this doesn't sit well with her. But nevertheless she looks for a fire-escape she could use to continue persuit. [Now that she thinks about it she notices a fire escape. Unfortunately the bottom stair is up. And the figure limps out of sight on the rooftop.] [The raised staircase is about ten feet up.] ( Can I get to it from the dumpster? ) (Opposite side, so you'd have to jump, but it's doable. Acrobatics roll -2 ) [Saki doesn't quite reach the stair, but she does grab the side of the fire escape. Unfortunately it's a near miss and as she scrambles up her guns fall to the ground. She can retrieve 'em, but it would take time and the figure who Saki now remembers is named Hanako is still escaping.] * Saki leaves 'em for now and continues the chase. [Saki quickly reaches the top of the building and sees Hanako on the far side of the building, looking at the jump to the next building and back at Saki. She's clutching the leg Saki shot with one hand. She's far enough away Saki can't reach her in a single turn.] * Saki steps forward. "Stay there!" She calls. (intimidate) * Hanako freezes and just looks at Saki with a mix of fear and pleading. [And give me a soul roll. +6 penalty.] [Saki's reservations are fairly deeply buried.] ( Reservations about killing her or letting her go? ) (killing her) * Saki advances on the girl. * Hanako whimpers. "Please stay back. I don't want to fight you." Sorry, kid. * Saki doesn't slow her pace. * Hanako just puts her hands together. "Please." * Saki doesn't answer or slow. * Hanako then stomps with her non broken foot. The roof in her area suddenly flies up and out and begins to collapse.] [Saki is hit by flying tiles and it damn well hurts and scratches her up. Give me a body acrobatics roll to avoid falling a floor.] * Saki stops, covering her face with her hands briefly. She tries to get to stable ground as she draws her shotgun. (and give me the acrobatics roll. And another soul roll +6) [Saki now gets a definate feeling that she isn't so happy with this but that she does have to go through. The pain helps that call a little.] [She successfully finds solid ground as Hanako takes a jump off the roof. She does have time to take a shot.] * Saki does just that. * Hanako is catches a full salvoy of buckshot and screams in pain and falls. Probably dead, but she's an Arcana so hard to be sure. * Saki approaches the body, keeping her shotgun trained on the girl. [The girl actually fell on the far side of the roof. There's a lower roof there, but it's strangley smokey.] * Saki cruses, rushing to the edge of the roof. [Saki can make out the body through the smoke, but she can't tell if she's still moving from here.] * Saki hops down to the lower roof, assuming it's not so low it would cause serious harm. [Soul roll at +4.] [Saki now has the morals of present day Saki...] ( She didn't before? O.o ) (Err..) (Saki can now pick her own handling of stuff without the GM giving her instructions. ;P) ( That works :P ) [And when she looks around she notices large vats to her left and right. Each of them contains a naked Hanako. The body of the one she probably killed is up ahead still clothed.] * Saki drops her shotgun, rushing up to the body. Her eyes are wide. [The lab is smokey still.] (medical (diagnostic) roll) [Hanako's body is quite bloody and her eyes are closed. Her chest is still rising and falling slowly though. Saki has no idea of her condition aside from that.] [And hearing awareness roll.] [Saki can also hear some movement but it's muffled. Probably on the far side of the vats.] * Saki brushes the girl's shoulder. "Hey. Hey, are you...?" she stops still when she hears that, and glances around warily. [The vats have a fairly opaque green liquid. There may be movement on the far side of them, or it could be just smoke. However, the sound has died down for now.] * Hanako looks up and coughs and quietly asks. "Why?" * Saki stares into Hanako's eyes. She opens her mouth and begins, "I-" but stops when she realizes she can't answer the question. (Give me another hearing awareness roll.) [Saki hears a odd sound sound. It's quiet, but it's as if something was melting or rapidly corroding.] * Saki glances up, and looks for the source. [Saki notices that the vats containing the naked Hanako's are now a deeper shade of green and the bodies are melting away, showing burns first and then dissolving.] [Soul, powerusage roll please.] [Saki doesn't think she was the one who commited this act of sabotage.] * Hanako keeps looking up at Saki with her questioning gaze. Suddenly Saki gets a sense that she's facing a grave danger coming from outside the room she's in.] [And another awareness roll. * Saki gets to her feet, facing the exit. She involuntarily takes a step back, and glances around for escape points. * Hanako looks up. "Be careful. They're coming for you." (Give me another soul roll +6) [And give me another awareness roll.] [Saki gets the sense that there's something seriously wrong with all this. More than just the immediate danger.] [She also hears someone walking up very quietly.] [The person is just a few meters away.] * Saki gazes down at Hanako. "Who? Whose... What's happening here? What-" She spins, facing the person. * Saki is suddenly wishing she hadn't thrown away her shotgun. "Who's there?" [She turns but she can't make out the person. It's not even all that dark, she just can't focus. The lab itself starts fading away.] [Awareness roll and powerusage roll against soul +8 modifer.] * Saki keeps her vision centered on the person, trying to make out his features, even if the attempt is futile. (okay, and make the rolls please.) [Saki suddenly realizes that she's dreaming and that she's still hearing the noise.] * Saki clenches her fists, trying to wake herself up. Her arms light up in bluish, flame-like energy. [Initiative!] [As Saki wakes up she sees her room which is filled with living oppressie shadows. There's a figure drenched in darkness in front of her that she might have had trouble seeing had she not heard her] [There's a complex web of thin wire over Saki's bed that's now flying down to entrap her.] [There's a complex web of thin wire over Saki's bed that's now flying down to entrap her.] (err sorry) [Saki Adversary(ies?)] [And give me another awareness roll.] [She can't tell if she has anymore opponents at the moment. But there's a greater gathering of darkness by the door.] (Oh and where does Saki keep her guns?) ( Probably in her jacket, which would be tossed on a coatrack or something. ) * Saki rolls off the bed and onto the floor, scrambling to her feet as soon as she's clear of the wire. (Acrobatics check. And should I take that as full defense?) ( Yeah ) ( Oh and give me an occult check against mind. ) [Saki moves fast and springs to her feet in a single action as the wires track her movements and swing down at her.] [Saki may have some memory of the wire fighter, but she just woke up and has other things on her mind right now so she isn't placing her.] [The wires spin rapidly and come at Saki from all directions seeking to entangle as much as her as they can. They move as if they have an independent will.] [Give me a +2 body roll and two +4 body rolls. Full defense helps on all of them. Defense skills don't.] [Saki choose her stance well and is able to brush away or avoid the worst of the attacks. However much of the wire accumulates on her arms tring to bind the to her body and to one another. +2 irritant for anything arms related.] [The wires tried to similarly bind her legs, but she was able to leap over them.] * Saki grimaces and makes her way over to the shadow woman. With her arms inhibited, she throws a kick at her instead, her legs glowing blue just before impact. (Not your turn just yet. ;P) ( Oh >.> ) [And give me another awareness check.] [A new somewhat shorter figure (figure B) rushes towards the coatrack as fast as possible, taking it off as fast as it can. It keeps on the move with the coat. This figure seems to glide above the floor.] [It moves back towards the door where Saki can make out a deeper darkness that seems to hold at least one additional figure.] [The shadows then coalese and try to envelop Saki. Soul roll +2. Mind shield helps.] [Saki's vision is briefly obscured but she moves fast to avoid the worst of it and manages to resist the effect.] [Alright, give me an olafactory awareness roll and then Saki's turn!] [Saki's notices an odd smell. She can't identify it at all. Saki's turn!] * Saki grits her teeth. She deals with the task at hand first, though. Namely, the wire-fighter. She rushes up and, with her hands restrained, throws a kick instead, her foot glowing with a blue energy as she strikes. (Luck roll against soul please.) [The wire-figure moves suddenly to the right and Saki's foot goes astray almost entering the clump of wires before she luckily trips and brings it down suddenly. Saki stays up but is a bit unsteady on her feet.] * Saki tries again, shakey though she is. * Wire figure manages to duck under the attack at the last moment. Comes a lot closer this time and no risk of Saki being entangled. [Wire figure!] * Wire figure stays quiet and brings its hands up. One set of wires again attempts to bind Saki. (Body roll+2). At the same time the wires on Saki's arms squeeze painfully (and unarmed defense roll please. +4 applies since it's for your arms). [Saki dodges magnificantly out of the way of the attempt to embind her. She moves with such grace and anticipation of how the wires move that she even manages to loosen her arms up (down to +2 penalty).] [Jacket stealing figure's turn!] ( The worst bastich of them all! ) (oh, and give me three more occult rolls vs. mind) ( @_@ ) [Saki remembers the shadows as she fights. One of the old Arcana had a similar ability and it has occassionally cropped up in her battles against the haze. This arcana has control over things between light and dark as well as life and death. He (was originally a he) can cloak figures and partially blind opponents.] [Jacket stealing figure tosses the jacket out the doorway to a third figure, growling from low in the throat. "Burn the damned thing..." It then turns around to face Saki and sticks a hand behind its back, perhaps in a back pocket. It doesn't make a move and seems to be sizing Saki up.] [A third figure comes into greater focus and grabs a hold of the jacket putting a hand over one of the pistols and the shotgun. The smell gets worse and the jacket and metal begin rapidly corroding.] [Awareness check.] [And the shadows again attack Saki. Give me another soul roll +2, mind shield still helps.] [Saki's vision blurs and new shadows augment the already dark room. Vision dependent combat at +4. Blindfight helps.] [Saki's turn!] * Saki growls low in her throat and fights her way over to the guy destroying her jacket. (And attacks if she can get there this turn) [Oh and Saki does think the low growling voice might be female, but it's unfamilar to her.] (Give me an acrobatics check to get past the people in the way.) [Saki deflty moves past any that would seek to block her and gets both her attacks.] * Saki throws a kick at the guy, aiming at his arm (called shot) [Between the shadows masking Saki's vision and those surrounding the bastard hurting her jacket, she misses.] [Saki's kick breaks the man's right arm and leaves it a bloody mess. He'll be completely unable to use it. He holds onto the jacket with his left arm though and keeps melting the shotgun.] [Wire figure] [Wire figure keeps up the attacks. +2 body roll and unarmed defense roll (with +2 penalty from arms.)] [This time the wires successfully surround and tangle Saki. +4 to attacks. Can't defend. No complex gestures. However Saki does manage to free up her arms enough that they're no worse off than the rest of her.] ( Ouch @_@ ) [Jacket stealer.] [Oh, and now that Saki is largely out of the room she can see the fourth and final figure. Which is even shorter than the jacket stealer.] [Jacket stealer comes up behind Saki and puts a cloth to her mouth and nose.] (Body roll +2) (Err..) (Body roll -2) [Saki smells chloroform on the cloth but manages to resist passing out for now. It will get harder though the longer she breathes the fumes.] [The darkness continues to obscure Saki's vision. The smallest of the figures does not move. The jacket holder grimaces and continues to melt the shotgun. "Your time has finally come bitch."] [And the jacket stealer also grapples with Saki, the better to keep a good hold.] [Saki's turn!] * Saki does her best to untangle herself and slip the man's grasp. (Checks the book. Okay, you make attack rolls against the wire to unentangle) [And awareness roll.] [Hearing] 2d8-4 ( Oops ) [Saki struggles unsuccessfully to break the wires.] [Wire figure starts laughing rather cruelly and brings her arm together as the wires squeeze.] [Jacket stealing figure scowls at the others in a harsh whisper. "Into the room, quick. And close the door."] [Saki struggles impressively against the wires and her fists and legs glow as they attack. The ropes binded her are shredded in two motions. However, she only manages to free herself into the jacket-stealers grapple and still has the chloroform to her mouth.] (Retcon wire figure's previous action.) * Wirefigure stays deathly silent and brings her finger tips together, when she seperates them a new web of wires begins to emerge running from one finger to another.] * Wirefigure stays deathly silent and brings her finger tips together, when she seperates them a new web of wires begins to emerge running from one finger to another. (err, sorry) * Disconnected (Gah! Accidentally hit the network off button) #sab2020 Cannot send to channel * Attempting to rejoin channel #sab2020 * Rejoined channel #sab2020 * Topic is 'http://www.livejournal.com/community/sab2020/ | #sabooc for dice and ooc | #sabwatch for IC non-combatants ' * Set by Grysar on Sun Dec 05 20:01:35 * ChanServ sets mode: +o Grysar (Sorry, accidentally hit the network off button) ( Oops ) (Yeah I'm a dumbass) [Figure pulls on Saki to get her more into the apartment, keeping the chloroform tight on her mouth.] (Body roll. Even up.) [Saki continues to resist the chloroform. She seems to have more trouble this time.] * Acid guy runs into the room and lets go of Saki's shotgun and grabs one of her pistols instead. The shotgun falls from the now burnt coat and is damaged beyond use.] * Very short figure takes a moment to wave his hand over the bloodstains acid guy left in the carpet outside. Saki gets a soul roll at +2 (mind shield helps) to try to break vision restriction. [Saki's vision clears up for now. The figures are still cloaked in shadow though.] [Saki's turn. Note that she's still being grappled by the jacket stealer. So +4 to attack and defense. +8 to complex actions such as using handheld weapons.] * Saki attempts to break free of the grapple. (body - unarmed attak (grapple0 [Saki breaks free of the grapple and still has her two attacks.] * Saki drives her foot down on the man's knee, attempting to break it. [Saki successfully hits. The knee makes a painful crunching type sound.] [Next attack.] * Saki leaves the man there and launches herself at the acid guy, striking at him with a punch wrapped in energy. * Acid guy goes down. A haze appears over his body. Session Time: Thu Apr 07 00:00:00 2005 [Wire figure renews her initial attacks. +2 body roll and two +4 body rolls please.] [And I forgot to mention that the kid closed the door when he and acid guy went in the room.] [And Saki avoids the bulk of the wires, but this time her legs are bound. She's not really going to be moving using them. Give me a body acrobatics (balance) roll with a +4 penalty to stay up.] [Saki falls over. But she can still roll for defenses and mover her arms and such.] [Jackt stealer growls and tries to pin her arms with its knees, moving the chloroform to her mouth again.] * Jacket stealer has trouble with the grapple, in part from the wounded knee. However Saki will need to try to defend against the chloroform. * Shadow guy gestures and the shadows again try to cover Saki's vision. (+2 soul roll, mindshield helps) (Shadow->Short) [Saki resists it for now.] * Acid guy's haze slips under the door. [Saki from the ground!] * Saki claws at her jacket and withdraws her pistols. She fires on the wires entangling her feet. [Give me an slieght of hand roll body to get at them fast.] [And Saki notices that one of the pistols has been somewhat mangled. +2 to attacks.] [Okay. +4 to that roll if you're concerned with not hitting yourself. Accurate helps] [The wires are weakened but not yet broken.] * Saki fires the other pistol at them, as well. [The wires binding Saki's feat break.] * Saki scrambles for her jacket again, grabbing one of those magic dampening grenades she got from Vega and tossing it. [And the grenade goes boom and scatters shiny sparkly shaff.] ( chaff, I think is the spelling ) (Yup) (Chaff) [Alright, the wire figure dives behind the bed and avoids much off the chaff. The jacket stealer glides away as well and avoids the worst of the. The small figure is throughly covered.] (Give me a soul roll Saki for power preservation) [Saki resists the effects for now. Shadows also stay up. As do the wires. The jacket stealers hover shakes but stays up. However, there's lots of chaff in the room so they'll be more rolls next round.] [Wire figure manages to keep control and attacks again with the remaining wire. Roll body roll at +2] [Saki manages to avoid the wires.] [Jacket stealer] [Figure growls again. "Listen, I'm just following orders but you're starting to annoy me.." It pulls a pole into its hands and swings to knock the pistols aside.] [Both attempts are good. Defense rolls! Remember to account for extra defenses if appropriate.] [Saki successfully keeps ahold of both guns.] [Shadows again try to cover Saki's eyes. Soul roll +2 mindshield helps.] [Saki's vision clouds. +4 to vision related attacks. Blindfighting helps.] [Saki's turn!] * Saki smiles, pointing both guns at the guy. "I was about to say the same thing to you." She fires. [Saki's vision block drops to +2 and the shadows begin to fade. The wires also fall to the ground.] [Figure swings the pole deftly in its hands as the bullets enter the shadow. There's a *ting ting* sound of two riccochets and the bullets come sailing back out of the shadow back aimed straight for Saki.] (two defense rolls!) [Saki lithely avoids both bullets.] [The first one she dodged so well it didn't take any effort on her part.] * Saki growls. She changes targets, firing at the hand of the wire woman. [Saki misses] * Wire woman reaches into her possessions and brings out a mask and a tear gas grenade. She takes out the pin and drops it. With her other hand she puts on the rebreather. [Jacket stealer] * Stealer used up attacks with reflections. [Shadow kid gets out his own mask and puts it on. He then runs over to acid guys body and holds one up to the stealer.] [Okay, ranged defense to reduce effects of gas.] * Jacket stealer reaches for the mask. (Okay, give me a body roll -2 Saki for gas resistance. -2 from successfully making your dodge.) [Saki breathes some gas and takes 15 subdual damage.] [Saki!] * Saki attempts to snatch the mask from the short guy. * Short guy can't hold on to it, but jacket stealer is stronger and manages to yank the mask and put it on while coughing once. [Saki's second!] * Saki attempts to snatch the mask from the short guy again. Off his face. * Short guy manages to run away. Yay for being small! * Wire woman takes a defensive stance and stands in front of the window. [Jacket steaker!] [And incidentally the shadows are now largely fading. The short guy is clearly a kid. The wire woman is a woman in her early thirties, the jacket stealer is wearing black garb that covers its face. The shadows still wave around the pole.] * Jacket stealer is actually female based on her figure. [Jacket stealer swings the pole for the back of Saki's head in an attempt to knock her out.] [Defense roll!] [Saki ducks out of the way of the pole.] [Jacket stealer keeps following the motion forward, ducking with Saki and taking the chloroform out again, clamping it over Saki's mouth and nose.] [Defense roll!] [Saki manages to spin out of the way.] * Kid grabs his own tear gas grenade takes out the pin and then takes out his mask and sticks it in the mask. The grenade and mask explode and the room fills with more gas. * The kid coughs and collapses shortly therafter. * On of Saki's neighbors then opens the door and closes it behind him, blocking it. He doesn't seem to be having any trouble breathing the corrosive air. [And a haze appears above the kid.] [Saki's turn! Body roll to resist irritation. And 30 stunning damage.] * Saki dashes for the door, firing at the newcomer as she goes. She aims for his head. [Saki resists the irritant, but does take thirty damage.] [Saki's neighbor takes the shots to the head and dies. The haze appears above him.] * Saki keeps going and shoulder-charges the door. (body (strength) roll. Unarmed attack helps) [The door is broken open.] [Wire woman takes out a gun and takes a shot at Saki.] [Her shot is good, but Saki manages to dodge.] [Jacket stealer is now clearly holding a scythe. And it's her turn.] [And hearing awareness check Saki.] [There's a distant sound of sirens.] [Lots of movement in neighboring apartments too.] [Jacket stealer rushes towards the bed and picks up the racoon, throwing it past Saki near the doorway.] [Alright soul roll to be momentarily distracted. +2 per level of easily distracted.] [Saki manages to resist. Her poor racoon!] ( Two c's in raccoon, by the way. ) [Jacket stealer curses mildly and rushes forward soon after with a strike with the handle of the scythe to knock her out.] [Dodge roll Saki! Remember any cumulative penalties.] [Saki dodges.] [And outside the door a portal of flame appears. And an orange haired dusky woman Saki has seen once before and seen dead, steps out of it.] You have become an annoyance. [Saki's turn!] * Saki slips past her and out of the room, if possible. [Opposed acrobatics roll!] [Saki slips by, but is slowed by the new woman. However, she gets out of the tear gas. The anti-agic chaff still covers her though.] [Still Saki's turn!] * Saki fires on the acid haze. "Makes two of us." Not the body, the mist above it. [The haze loses much of its mass but is still there.] That's for my fuckin' shotgun. [And the haze evaporates.] ( Switch my line with that ) ( Or I'll just add one. ) And that's for my jacket. ( Or better yet. "And that's for Mr. Rogers." :P ) (Heh you can use that next) [And Saki's last attack.] * Saki fires at the woman by the window aiming for her mask. * Woman starts coughing but doesn't go down immediately. * Woman also wailed when she saw acid haze go down. * Wire woman takes a wild shot and misses. [Jacket stealer!] [Sirens are now quite audible.] [Jacket stealer comes out of the apartment and scowls as she sees the woman (at least the part that can be seen), holding her scythe behind her at an angle. "Wonderful. I don't need your help, you know."] * Woman folds her arms. "Be quick about it." [Jacket stealer rolls her eyes. "Yeah yeah...you're not my master you know. No matter how much you get him to stare." She looks at Saki with a bit of a smile. "Nothing personal." She swings the scythe up in an arc and releases a spread of frozen ice crystals in Saki's direction.] [Dodge roll Saki. +2 to defend from spreading!] [Saki manages to dodge out of the way!] * Miranda looks back to Kahlya and holds up her hand, a flame appearing in it. "You sure?" (Err looks to figure) ( >.> ) (Sorry... multichanning stuff) (Why do I multi task.) * Jacket stealer growls. "You may be able to fool him with that innocent little look, but I'm not the one who does deals with demons." She pouts. "Besides, I'd never live it down..." * Miranda shrugs. "So be it." * Shadow haze flies out to the hall and starts under someone's doorway. [Saki's turn!] * Saki fires at the jacket stealer again. * The jacket stealer blocks both shots easily with her scythe. [Jacket stealer] ( I'm not done! ) (errr. right) (Go ahead) (Sorry. Forgot about #3) * Saki aims at the stealer's head. "Nothing personal." She fires. * The jacketed figure takes it in the head. It splatters a good deal of blood and she falls to the ground. She remains *barely* conscious and must be exerting a huge effort to remain awake. A normal punch would obviously down her. * Miranda looks down at the jacketed figure. "Last chance kid." [Jacketed figure!] [The gas is starting to spread from the room, but not fast enough to effect you guys.] [Stealer winces and clutches at her head. Her hand hesitantly reaches for the mask and tears it off as she lets out a cough. "Ow ow. Yeah, whatever." She glares at Miranda but doesn't say anything. It's obvious she doesn't like her though.] * Miranda nods and looks to the figure. "Through the portal. Now." Miranda's skin then turns molten with an extra glow earily reminscent of shots from Maggie's gun. [Stealer gets up and staggers through.] * Saki aims her pistols at the woman, arms crossed. "Not so fast, bitch!" [The jacketed figure is blocked, but only barely. She manages to get right next to the portal. Saki still standing in front of her?] * Saki is, unless she's being attacked. * Miranda gets a rather cruel grin. "Well then. Backdraft!" * Miranda throws the glowing ball she made earlier down the hall past the portal. It explodes into a fireball burning the rooms of about six of Saki's neighors and incidentally two hazes. There's a sudden massive gush of wind pulling Kahlya and Saki towards the portal in one direction and a fireball rapidly coming from the other. ( You said Kahlya again :P ) (Err..) (Figure) (So... anyways. What's Saki doing? ( I'm not really sure. It's a total no win situation >.> ) ( Can she see what's on the other side of the portal? ) (body+8 - acrobatic to resist the wind. Although you then need to follow with a fireball defense. (Give me an occult roll. -8 ) (Hell) ( Well, uh.... crap. ) (Oh and this doesn't necessarily mean Saki is damned as such. But she would be stuck in hell. The distinction may be lost on her) ( Uh... yeah. ) (Although presumably this person can come and go as she pleases) (So not necessarily one way) ( I reiterate. Crap. :P ) ( Doesn't do me much good <.< ) [Jacketted figure sighs and removes her hood. Her face doesn't look too good, but it's definitely Kahlya. Her hand goes up to her bloody mess. "What does it matter? I'm in no shape to do anything anymore. You've won. I've failed." She points to the fireball. "Now we either die together or go to hell together, but you know what? For once I don't want anyone to die."] [Saki resists long enough to hear that.] * Miranda looks very put out. * Kahlya has joined #sab2020 * Saki smiles. "Fine. Things can't get much worse for me as it is. But... There's still some satisfaction left for me to have." She dives through the portal backwards, firing as much as she can. ( At Kahlya. ) ( And what does it matter. Roll in #besm or #sabooc as I shouldn't do these ) (And actually) (Kahlya gets her turn too. As she didn't take it this round.) ( Ummm ) ( Oh, nevermind ) (So she gets a held action?) (Yeah. it seems fair. And okay. Saki's potentially changing.) (I'll wait for Saki to change first.) ( I'm only changing if Kahlya does something. ) ( Actually. ) ( Ponders. Actually?) ( I'm only using my 2nd action if she survives somehow. ) (She's not attacking you :P) (Okay. Saki's first shot. Then Kahlya's first attack.) (and you both can defend while attacking.) (So.. first attack hits based off that defense roll?) (Yeah so it doesn't matter :P) ( Still firing the second. Best to make sure. ) (Unless...) (Unless?) (And just a moment.) ( *afks ) (okay) * Kahlya takes the shot and flies back, falling towards the floor. Her body disperses into a black mist and disappears before it hits the ground. [Kahlya is clearly unconscious when she hits the ground. There is not a trace of haze remaining. And Saki gets to take her last two shots.] * Saki fires her second shot at Kahlya (Kahlya has left the building) * Saki holds her third shot as she goes through. She may need it. [Saki's second shot just hits the ground. Miranda steps through the portal shortly after Saki. ( She vanished? ) (Yup. She was summoned ) [Saki lands butt first in the foyer of a mansion.] ( Mm ) * Saki scrambles to her feet in an instant, scowering the area. [There's a nice collection of fairly classical demons surrounding her followed shortly by Miranda.] * Saki spreads her arms side to side, pointing each gun at two different demons. I am so tortured for this. ::She looks to Saki:: We need you alive, but this is still going to be the hard way, isn't it? * Saki points her guns at Miranda. "Listen, lady. Today's off to a bad start and I'm not in a good mood. What is it you want?" You. As a hostage. Go along and you can keep your weapons and stay in comfort until the time comes. Resist.. not so fun. A hostage. * Miranda nods. "Which is it gonna be?" For? Take a wild guess. ( I don't do the whole damsel in distress thing. Besides. * Miranda tilts her head. "Besides?" * Saki glares at Miranda, and her eyes flash with blue energy. And her arms and legs, until her entire body is covered in a visage of a demon formed of blue energy, horns and wings and all. "I'm practically at home here." [End]
