[Date: Unknown since October 23. You're both rest and have arrived on the fourth floor.] [There's now a profusion of doors. The three you've already entered: Bookie's, Maggie's, and Will's are still there and dormant.] [There are now also doors that show Kristof, Raleigh, and a figure that seems to be shifting in shape. The shifter has the form of a raven, a gaunt lad, a ninja (not Kurt), and Magnie the telekinetic among others.] [Start] * Marguerite lights up a cigarette. "So. Where to next? Oz?" * Breaker looks at the doors. "I think Will is the only option in prison." * Yuri glances to Will's door and bites her lip a moment, then back to the other three. "We can't go to Will again. Not now." Beat. "It seems the friendly part of this trial is over." * Breaker grumbles. "Back in time wasn't all that friendly to me." * Yuri chuckles a little and says, "Better than any of these." She looks down to the action figure, then starts walking towards Raleigh. "One good turn. The bitch." * Marguerite smiles, her cigarette quirking upwards in her lips. "You oughta join the military. You get to know people who can scrape out yer uterine lining." * Marguerite follows Yuri. For the right price. [And as you pass through the gate you arrive in a study of some sort. The room is a bit cramped and seems to contain many an unused book. There's two doors, one to the North and one to the West. There's a central table with three books and a few Tupperware containers.] [Give me a sixth sense roll Yuri.] [Yuri gets the sense that there's something else in the room. There's no visible presences though.] * Yuri exhales noisily and says, with a tone of Annoyance, "Raleigh, I realize you're paranoid, but right now I only sort of want to pummel you. Where are you?" ... wait... dammit, there's a thing here? Is it a fuckin' people, or is it somethin' else? [There's no immediate response. The doors look fairly heavy and old. Could be no one heard you.] * Yuri looks around and says, "Depends on the day." She starts moving around slowly, looking. "It's just a matter of time. Come out." Right. Goddamn it, can we move to a plane where I don't need to worry about this shit? Just... shit I can shoot and shit I can't? [The Tupperware containers are labeled "Good Boring Future; Evil Leather Future; and Present Course.] [The books may be labeled, but they seem like the kind of books you should be careful about examining closely.] * Yuri eyes the Tupperware containers. "... the Tupperware of Ra." [Maggie give me an awareness roll. Any military (tactics) help.] Tupperwha. [Maggie's getting bad vibes from the room. She can't pinpoint them though.] * Yuri points at the Tupperware. "Reminds me of the three visions from the eye." Man, it does feel spooky in here. Can we get the fuck out? * Yuri sighs slightly. "Although if it is, then I fucked up big. Twice." * Breaker glances at the Tupperware. "So, that whole clearing out procedure. Is it better than just getting an annual birth control shot?" [On closer examination the Tupperware looks like it has something meaty though not tasty inside.] Kinda. I heard it was like getting all your cramps ever over with all at once. And people live through this? [Renew the sixth sense roll Yuri.] Well, yeah. [Yuri notes that there's an creature that functions roughly like a mine sitting in a box by the door to the North. The box would probably be tapped if the door was opened. She also notes that one of the books has a fairly passive sensor on it. Give me an occult(rituals) check. * Yuri rolls her eyes. "I can't believe you'd wanna rip yourselves up like that." She frowns and then says, "The north door's trapped." Oh, bloody fantastic. [The book is a silent alarm. It has Raleigh's aura.] * Yuri frowns and says, "Let's not get hit by the trap." She heads to the west. "And no picking up books yet, one of 'em's trapped too." So. You know this gig. How do we get out of this?> * Yuri opens the west door. "Find Raleigh, have a heart to heart... maybe." [The room to the west appears to be a dining room. However, the table is covered with boxes. There's a fairly unpleasant smell coming from a tray of what appears to be rotten meat. There's a good number of flies buzzing around it. To the South is a bedroom.] [The bedroom seems designed to be ornate but not comfortable. The bed itself is mussed but it doesn't look like anyone's been under the covers. To the west is another shut door.] [The room also contains four humanoid red lizards snacking on the flies. They seem surprised by your arrival. Init!] [Maggie, Breaker, Yuri, Lizards] [Maggie] * Marguerite whips out Bubba, ratchets him to Area Mode, and fires. [Two lizards manage to leap out of the way and avoid the worst of the blast but still look to be scorched. The other two take the blast straight on. They look to be at about half strength but are still up and fighting.] [That end of the table is in fire. Oddly enough, this improves the smell in the room.] [A voice calls out from a room to the West. It sounds irritated. Anyone got demonic or Sumerian or some such?] [Breaker!] * Breaker leaps over to attack the lizard on the right. It dodges her initial attempts but she grabs it on her second try. [Yuri!] * Yuri says, "Raleigh, it's Yuri! I'm not here to fight!" She steps forward into the nearest lizard and just hauls off and slams her fist into it. * Yuri slams her fist into the critters chest. Or at least she meant to. She misjudged the distance some so it ends up as a tap. The lizard just doesn't bother to dodge and laughs.] [Yuri, give me an exorcism roll.] [The laughing lizard then suddenly staggers back and seems fairly whelmed as Yuri feels holy power flow through her.] [Even so, it proceeds to attack Yuri. Another jumps up on the burning table and then leaps towards Maggie. A third runs towards the wall, bounds off of it, and attacks Breaker from behind.] [The final lizard tries to break free from Breaker's grasp.] * Breaker is far more powerful than the lizard, so it fails to break free. [Breaker gets slashed by the lizard. The rest of you need defense rolls.] [Yuri dodges out of the way easily. For a moment it looks as if the lizard never had a chance to hit her, but that's got to be a mistake. Maggie however feels the claws rip into her skin cutting trough her defenses like butter. 46 damage.] [Pre-armor. I forget if she has personal armor.] [Maggie's payback round!] (8 armor.) * Marguerite staggers back a little. She does Not Look Happy. "... right. Time to fuckin' kill some shit." * Marguerite ratchets Bubba down one mode, leans back, and lets a burst fly. * Raleigh calls out from behind the door. "Blast! Give me a moment. And kill the lizards, they report to Kristof." [And the lizards did come out of their turn looking a bit worse because of the burning. * Yuri chuckles faintly. "I think we're on it." [The badly burnt lizard that hit Maggie is now crispy. Mmm... Lizard Jerky. The one attacking Breaker is hit and sneers in Maggie's direction but seems on the brink of falling over. Then it remembers that this isn't DnD and you fall at 0 so down it goes.] [Breaker!] * Breaker just growls at the one she's hold and she spins it around herself and then tosses it at the one fighting Yuri. She seems to be neglecting her defense which is just as well because she barely hits. [However, by making such a weird trick shot, the lizard doesn't really have a chance to dodge and the one fighting Yuri goes down. The one Breaker threw manages to land on its feet though and looks wounded but still a threat.] [Yuri!] [Also, the table collapses because of being on fire.] * Yuri grins and drives her fist towards the one Breaker threw. "Get out of here." [The lizard collapses and fades away.] [Out of init.] * Breaker grimaces and holds her side. "That actually hurt!" * Marguerite shakily lights another cigarette, having dropped the first one. "Jesus, you ain't kiddin'." She lets out a cloud of smoke. "Fuck." * Yuri is unscratched! She heads around the corner to Raleigh. "As long as you're both alive." [Raleigh's still behind the door. But it hasn't been long since she said just a moment, so no surprise there.] * Breaker nods and glances down at her wounds which seem to be closing. "I'll be fine." * Marguerite pulls out her flask and splashes some on her gashes. "C'mere, Breaker. Field anae... fuck you goddamn posthumans." * Breaker looks a little guilty at that. [There's a splashing sound from behind the door.] One more moment. * Marguerite takes a nice long swig. * Yuri frowns and says, "Come _on_, we're all women out here." Some of us prefer not to be nude in public. * Raleigh opens the door a few moments later. Her hair is soaking wet and the rest of her isn't much dryer. However, she is wearing a bathrobe. Visual awareness checks. -2 bonus. Jesus, took you long enough. You got some kind of fuckin' third- party sex organ? I guarantee I've seen everything else. [Yuri notices that Raleigh has a bit of a green tint to her skin. Maggie notices that she also has webbed feet and hands that she's trying to cover.] More company, lovely. And I took twenty second tops. * Breaker snickers. Yeah, well, I lost a pint of blood in those twenty. * Yuri frowns a little and says, "Maybe she is third party at the moment. What sorta thing's inhabiting you today?" Beat. "And is this place bugged?" [And sixth sense roll Yuri.] [Oh, I did forget to describe, she's also wearing a silver amulet with a ruby.] [Raleigh's got two distinct auras, although one of them is amulet centered.] [Yuri can't really ID them well, but the amulet one seems parasitic.] I don't see how that's your business. Now, what do you want to talk about? I dunno, if you've got some unique junk I think that's a good icebreaker. * Yuri holds up the very convenient Will figurine. "Someone says hi." * Marguerite flicks her cigarette butt away and takes another swig from her flask, which she then tucks away. "Call me a sucker for the old standbys." * Raleigh rolls her eyes. "My anatomy is quite--- oh--- So much for my defenses. How is he?" Alive, as of... uh... whenever that was. Good. I think I'm breaking the rules today all over. How's that working out for you? It ain't rainin' alcohol yet. * Yuri rubs her face and then says, "Not as well as you'd think. Tell me you aren't the one who came up with what he did to Will." * Raleigh glances at the table, which is incidentally still on fire. She looks a bit put out. She then looks to Yuri, "His plan was kidnapping and torture until Will gave it up willingly. Would you have prefered that?" * Yuri grits her teeth. "Will's in jail now. Chinese jail. That's about what he's going to get." * Raleigh looks confused. "He is? Why? That wasn't me." * Yuri rubs her face. "Because he was involved with a movie." Beat, and then her eyes lock on the amulet. "May I?" Please. * Yuri reaches out and grabs the amulet, hard. Touch exorcism is fun for the entire family. [The amulet flashes briefly and then breaks under Yuri's grasp. Raleigh slowly regains her skintone and the webbing fades away.] * Yuri tosses it to the ground casually. Thank you. And I think he's still famous, right? I doubt they'd torture him. But if they did, just break him out. * Breaker is now healed up. She's playing around with the claws of one of the dead lizards. * Yuri smiles faintly. "No control, Raleigh." She runs her hand over her head again. * Raleigh smiles a little. "If I'm alive at the end of the week I'd be glad to rig it for you." * Marguerite shrugs, and starts bandaging herself. Looks like she's got the time. * Yuri nods a little and says, after a moment, "You're really worried about him. I almost can't believe it. But you haven't made any sense since I met you." * Raleigh shrugs and grabs a towel. "I owe you one now. Reversing a polymorph when you're the one cursed is a royal pain." * Yuri replies, "I meant Bookie." * Breaker takes a moment to rip off two crispy lizard hands. She holds one up in Maggies direction. "Think this'd work as a weapon?" Oh.. yes, well I told you. I care about the boy. I wouldn't have taken this job otherwise. Well, I was betting that I'd like him, but I did my research first. * Marguerite looks up. "If you deep fried it, it might give 'em a heart attack. Maybe. Fuck, I dunno. Rip off the claws and tri-mount 'em on some metal?" * Breaker nods and gets to working on ripping them out. * Yuri frowns a little and says, "The tupperware in your entry room. What's it mean?" I had three readings done. I wanted to be able to consult them later. * Marguerite picks up one of the claws and eyes it. * Yuri frowns and says, "We saw three realities earlier today." Beat. "Is Present Course... the real now? Or the one before reality changed?" [They look exceptionally sharp. Although some of the damage probably came from the lizard's technique.] Yeah. Keep it sharp, learn a little bladework, probably not too bad. * Marguerite chucks the thing over her shoulder. "Not that I know shit about blades. They don't explode well." Something like it. Not as hopeful as it used to be. You guys are doing too well. [The claw embeds itself in the floor.] Nice trophy if nothing else. * Yuri grits her teeth. "It's not as hopeful as it used to be, so we're doing too well? That doesn't make sense." For me. I didn't get a reading on your future. Oh. I mean this may be your vision quest or something, but it's not all about you. * Raleigh wraps the towel around her hair. * Yuri shakes her head and says, "I know it's not about me." Beat. "How could we really beat the shifter?" Find his body and don't make eye contact. He's not in good shape after the last fight. * Yuri nods a little. * Marguerite grabs one of the lizards by the neck and hauls it up to eye level. "Hey, ugly. You lookin' mighty fuckin' deep fried." She makes it dance a little. * Yuri looks away a moment. "Unless something else comes to the fore, it's Kristof or the Shifter in the end..." [The lizard gyrates.] Oh forget that. Save your boy. You'll kill Kristof soon enough. Our shifting friend may lay low for a while but you might get another shot at him in a few years. * Marguerite eyes the gyration with more than a little disgust. "Yuri, I'm fucking bored enough I'm considering resorting to a goddamn Noh play with dead lizard man corpses. Are we done with this fucking vision yet?" * Breaker is up to her fifth claw. * Yuri blinks, and says, "But Will wasn't..." she trails off, glances back at Maggie, then to Raleigh, "You've screwed around with us too much, Raleigh. Why should I believe you?" * Raleigh smiles. "Because I'm a romantic at heart?" Beat. "If you want something solid, make me deal. I keep mine." * Yuri shakes her head. "I've got nothing for you." She chuckles a little. "I do it or I don't." * Marguerite dangles the lizard. "Hey, Breaker, are any of these not deep-fried or scorched? I ought to mail myself one and get it stuffed." * Yuri turns away and says to Maggie and Breaker, "Yes, yes, I get it, you're bored. Come on." * Breaker finds the one that she threw. "This one's only grilled." Fuck no. I'm gonna get my create on now. Let me survive the final fight. I'm taking precautions, but... Stuff this fucker and put it in my den. * Breaker hoists it over her shoulder. "Done. Hopefully we can put it down in the Pagado. Might be awkward carrying it into the final test." * Yuri looks back at Raleigh over her shoulder and says, "Take a day off that day, Raleigh." I'll give you shifter. I know where his body is. Save yourself a trial. He was so busy looking after his master that he got in the way of my plan." [The table has now burned itself out. The floor seems oddly resistant to fire.] * Yuri turns back to him and says, "Tell me. I won't aim for you, Raleigh... but don't get in the way." Aim for me all you want, just don't finish me. For this to work, I've got to take the fall. * Yuri blinks, then says, "You want to job?" A faint smirk. "Can we just get that out of the way now?" * Raleigh shakes her head. "I need a reputation. Surviving Kristof's downfall without being known as a traitor, that'll do it." So where will you put this guy again? * Yuri frowns, then nods. "Fine. Saldin'd be fine with that. Just don't cross the plane." Well, first I've got to get a house. Then I can put it in the den. Deal. ::She tells you a location:: I'll have word sent to SAB too, just to show my good intentions. [And you can begin to feel yourself doing the walking fade out.] * Yuri fadefades, then, as she takes her steps! Hopefully Maggie's got her shits. * Marguerite has her shits. Including her internal organs. [And Breaker is carrying Maggie's lizard to be mounted.] [You're back in the room. There's movement over on shifter's gate...] [As he settles into the form of a gaunt boy, a hand-coughed one. He's currently sleeping on a fairly meager bed and is looking fairly wounded. There's the sound of tear gas cannisters being fired and stun prods going off.] Want me to put this down or should I keep it with us to be safe? * Breaker is still toting a lizard corpse. Enh, better you keep your liver than keep the lizard dude. Drop him... if he's still here later, it's a bonus. * Marguerite lights up a cigarette. "Fuckin'-A." [Shortly therafter the door is kicked in and a few heavy duty police rush in. They've got tinted visors and they grab the shifter and put a bag over his head in the space of about five seconds. One gets out a set of handcuffs and is surprised when they aren't necessary. He puts them on anyways, better safe.] * Yuri watches the capture for a long moment, then says, "Well." [The shifter gate fades and the Will gate is active again. Finally there's one additional doorway. You can see Saldin through it.] * Breaker puts down the lizard. "Awww, I was looking forward to trying out a claw on him." * Yuri looks surprised at Saldin's door. Well, you could always palm one of those claws you got. * Breaker tries that. * Breaker cuts herself. "Ow! Maybe I'll practice that later." ... yeah. Might want to talk to someone who actually uses knives. You know I don't even fuckin' cook, right? No, but I sorta assumed. Well, that's a lie. Kinda. Does plasma-roasted cow count? [Will's door is now active again.] [On closer examination, Saldin appears to be fighting a mob of comparatively weak looking demons that are short in stature. It looks like it will be tough for him, but the odds aren't overwhelming.] * Yuri licks her lips a moment, glances to Will, to Saldin, then she looks up at the sky. "Why is my life full of metaphors?" * Marguerite smirks. "Lack of drunken one-night stands?" A distinct lack. One drunken one-night stands can kill metaphors? Sweet! * Breaker peers at the Saldin door. So how many of those metaphor guys does a one-night stand kill? As that might take like a week or something. I dunno. Practical experience says fuckin' a guy and leavin' him puke-drunk in the alley of a biker bar once a week keeps this shit from happening to me too often, though. Coo' Though I think one of the sci guys said somethin' about "correlation without causation" the last time I mentioned it, though. Course, we were banging uglies in the men's room. * Yuri glances to Maggie for a moment, then looks down at her Will doll, and then says, "In for a penny... or so I've heard." She walks towards the Will door. "Here's to closure. Maybe." Why bang uglies? [And you guys are in Will's cell!] Jesus, what fuckin' rock have you been hiding under? Did you miss high school or somethin'? ... whoa. [Give me awareness rolls. Sense of choice, but tell me the sense.] Yeah, pretty much. [There's nobody here but Will. And while he looks a bit less handsome and buff, he certainly is Will. There's a couple of guards down the hall beyond a door but they don't seem to be moving much.] [Yuri also notices that there's camera mounts that could monitor Will's cell, but the cameras are missing.] Bangin; or bumpin' uglies is talk for mashin' one's fucking genitalia against someone else's, usually in the classic style of straight up fuckin'. Don't they have a Joy of Sex somewhere in SAB HQ? Oooh. So if I went to high school they'd have taught me about that? Well shit. * Yuri looks at him a moment and then glances back to Maggie. "Can you two shut up about fucking? I'm trying to..." she trails off, then looks back to Will. * Will was taking a nap, he's now waking up. * Marguerite smirks. "Go on, exhibitionist." * Yuri rolls her eyes. At least she CAN. They're glowing yellow. "It's for a purpose." She walks over closer to Will and smiles a little. "Morning. Or evening. Whenever it is." * Will focuses a little. "You're back." He smiles. "I apologize for the meager accommodations." * Breaker shuts up. She's polite. On occasion. Really. * Marguerite draws Bubba. * Yuri shakes her head and says, "Not your fault." Beat. "Well, maybe your fault. I don't really know." It is. Chang felt a statement needed to be made. I backed him. But my lawyer tells me if I don't make an ass out of myself I should be out in half a year, tops. * Yuri smiles a little before saying, in a familiar manner, "Wouldn't happen to want that to be a little sooner, would you? I don't know if you can keep from being an ass for half a year." Session Time: Mon Feb 19 00:00:00 2007 We goin' out? I can do out. * Will grins. "So you do know me, Yuri. Well..." [Awareness checks again.] * Yuri starts to look away from his statement that she knows him... then her eyes widen suddenly, and she says, "Who was in the next room?" Who was wha> Just guards I think. * Yuri frowns and says, "You got any friends with silencers, Will? Otherwise... I think you don't get a choice anymore." [The door opens slightly and someone throws in a black object. Awareness checks again.] I do movies, not revolutions. [Black blur, how are you guys reacting?] * Marguerite grimaces. "Fuck!" She swoops in to kick the thing back out. * Yuri dives for Will, smothering him to the ground if possible, bed if not. He ain't got reflexes anymore. [Unarmed attack roll Maggie.] {+4 accuracy type penalty.] (It's small) [Maggie successfully kicks the object back to the door, but whoever is on the other side closes it in time. Still it lands pretty far away from you.] [And, now that it's no longer moving, you can see that it's a pistol.] [Maggie, touch awareness roll! (I so rarely get to call for that)] * Maggie notes that the pistol was quite warm. * Marguerite leaps back from the ... the pistol. She looks a little chagrined. "Just a pistol. Thing's warm... if you heard shots, that's what did it." Fuck, what the shit is this? * Will notes the lack of explosion and grins up at Yuri. "Thanks." He then looks over to Maggie. "Wait, they shot people and gave me the pistol. That doesn't make any damn sense." Maybe they believe in fairplay? * Yuri looks up from her position atop Will and says, "Probably two dead guards... and a gun for Will." She looks down at him. "Could almost be a movie frame-up." Can't get out in six months for murder. No. No I can't. Ah, yeah. That makes more sense. Right. Out it is. Which wall's Out? * Yuri nods and clambers off of Will, saying awkwardly, "Sorry 'bout that." * Will sits up. "No need to apologize. And hell if I know. I don't have the best sense of direction. [There's a window in the hallway, but it overlooks a centra courtyard. * Marguerite looks out at the hallway. "Courtyard there. Out's the other way." She turns to the other wall. "Get in the hall." * Breaker pulls open the cell door. What the hell does that thing do? Makes doors. MOVE. * Will nods and gets into the hall. * Yuri chuckles and says, "Beat me to it, Breaker." She heads out too, action figure still in hand. * Marguerite waits for people to leave the room and fires Bubba at the wall. Standard fire. * Will looks down at the action figure once he's out in the hall. "Alternate universe me have an action figure? Cool." * Yuri looks up at him and smiles weakly. "Alternate universe you made that deal--" and then the plasma goes off! [THere's now a sizable hole in the wall. It's night outside and there's about 30 meters of ground outside and then a 2 meter tall barbed fence. There's guard towers to your left and right about 40 meters either way.] Wait, we need to get Zhao. They may be planning to kill him too. ... that would have been a good thing to do BEFORE we made the out door. Now they fucking know we can make doors! Then we'd better make some more! Where is he? I'm new to this! When I'm planning an action scene I've got time to think. Ah, oops. FUCK THINKING. Where's the bitch? * Will points to the door to the left. "He was still with them when they dropped me off. I'm guessing he's in the next cell down." Go get him! * Marguerite looks at Will. "Not you. You stay right the fuck here." * Will steps towards the door and then stops. "Right." * Yuri heads off that way as she says, "Breaker, with me!" Is there a door in the way? * Breaker tags along with Yuri. There is in fact a door in the way. * Yuri lays into it, then! She's strong! Let's knock it off its hinges. [The door's gone. There's another door in about two meters. To your left is a hallway is an access hallway that leads to the balcony surrounding the courtyard. Sixth sense check Yuri! If you make it, follow up with an occult (spirits).] * Marguerite swaps Bubba for the DE and steps between Will and the door. "Jesus christ. Total rank fuckin' amateurs. I remember when jailbreaks were whiskey, C4, and good old-fashioned fun." You do a lot of these? [Yuri notices that there's something invisible sitting about a meter up on the far hallway wall.] [Humanoid and definitely of ill intent.] In and out. Fuckin' ton easier in Mexico, let me tell you. Wouldn't it be cheaper just to bribe your way? * Yuri points up at the wall and says, "Breaker! Invisible badguy!" * Breaker nods and leaps in that general direction. Counting the booze, sure. Fuckton less fun, though. Hell, half the fun's getting tossed in the lockup in the first place.; * Yuri , in the mean, slams the second door off its hinges. [Bam, gone. There's an Chinese guy in his fifties with streaks of grey hair. Cultural arts roll Yuri. -4 bonus. [There's a burst of automatic weapon fire from where the invisible baddie is now. Fortunately for Breaker, it's ill-aimed.] [Yuri recognizes the director. He'd actually worked with Will even in the original universe. Fairly big name.] * Yuri replies, A faint smile as she rips the door off the cell. * Zhao gets up and tags along with Yuri. * Breaker leaps at the thing and then at the last moment throws a claw about where she thinks it is. * Marguerite bellows. "HURRY IT UP YURI" * Yuri 's eyes widen and she says, she interrupts herself and runs. * Yuri yells back at Maggie, "Breaker's dealing with a baddie out here!" [However, it's too fast for her and it fires another series of bullets at her. Breaker takes two hits with a grunt.] * Yuri adds, glancing at her, "I got him, Breaker, let's go!" * Breaker scowls. "Damn... I wanna get this guy...." But she begins to fall back, slow though, to provide cover to you guys. [And you're all reunited. The hole leads out. Spotlights are begining to search around the grounds.] * Yuri makes sure Zhao's in the room and says, "They've got an invisible man in the hallway. With a machine gun." Fuck! Searchlights. Dammit, we've taken way too much time. * Marguerite heads out the hole. "Move fast." * Breaker throws another two claws at where she thinks the bad guy is as she falls back. One of the ricochets and lodges itself in her adversary. It's just floating there in the air, but it gives you a fix on his location. * Will and Zhao follow after her Maggie. * Yuri runs after, says, "No time," and grabs Zhao and Will and lifts 'em both effortlessly onto her shoulders. * Yuri also yells back, "Breaker, come on!" * Zhao glances at Will. "Nice catch." Will grins back. * Breaker sighs heavily but follows along while dodging another burst of fire. [Give me speed rolls both of you.] * Yuri also mutters, at the two guys, "We're gonna have a talk after this." (Body - any relevant abilities ) [Maggie and Breaker get to the fence without any trouble. As Yuri gets there one of the spotlights finds you. Another finds the source of automatic weapon fire that's not quite hitting Breaker.] [You're at the fence, there's water beyond. The guard teller is going on with the usual nonsense. * Marguerite swaps out the DE for Bubba, switches to spread, and reduces a portion of the fence to component atom vapors. [Water like bay, You can see the lights of Hong Kong off in the distance.] [The fence disintegrates, the leftover bits spark. Watch the fuckin' sparks, and get ready to get wet. [Half a story drop.] * Yuri just says, "Time to pull a Jesus," and makes the short jump to _land_ on the water. * Marguerite looks down. "... fucking posthumans! God!" * Marguerite stows Bubba, grabs Will and Zhao, and dives. (Yuri's already carrying them both I think. :P) * Breaker gets in the way of some automatic weapon fire from one of the towers. "Oww... right.. jump." She follows thereafter. [Invisible guy seems to getting in a gun-fight with the towers. [And a moment later you're all standing on a balcony at the top of the pagoda. You're dry and rested. You can see inside to the dead lizard but all the other doors have vanished. There's a latter leading down on the inside.] [But for now you can enjoy the nice view of the Himalayas.] * Yuri blinks, surprised, then says, She sets Will and Zhang down slowly. Hey, lizard-man's still there. Bonus. You still got all your internals, Breaker?> * Yuri sighs slightly and says, "No, we're not. We're in Tibet." She glances to Breaker too. * Breaker looks down. "Huh, good as new." * Yuri looks to Zhao and says, She then looks to Maggie and Breaker. "Thanks, you two." A small smile. Hey, no problem. I got the Eye. Got to blow some shit up. Great afternoon. Kind of. What day is it now? * Yuri shrugs. "Go down and ask? I really don't know. It was when I started this." Some days, man. This shit gives me a headache. No problem. It was fun. * Zhao climbs down. Breaker checks if Maggie needs her to carry the lizard down and then heads down herself. * Will waits as everyone heads down. * Yuri nods slightly and then looks back to Will, frowning a little as she says, "Girlfriend from the future? I was twelve when you saw me." * Marguerite can carry a lizard! Woo. She heads down. * Will chuckles. "You see, this guy sold me some bootlegs..." * Yuri blinks, then blushes and looks aside. "Oh god. Those exist here?" The one with you only came out in the last couple weeks. Before that just a lot of movies of me. I was disappointed not to see you in them. * Yuri tilts her head. "Bootlegs... of you?" * Yuri runs her hand over her head. "How does that... work?" * Will nods. "Paid a million yuan for them. Some weird pochmarked guy that had a cloak and a fedora. Said they were from another world. The asshole also said they were legit, but there's people standing up in front of the screen in half of them! Also the sound sucks." * Yuri blinks, then chuckles a little. "So you saw, then. What you woulda been, right until you got pulled to hell." Beat, and she looks over the mountains before responding quietly, "It's been weird, Will. You didn't ever exist, and then I went back in time, and then..." she trails off. * Will nods. "Well, thanks for saving my life. Twice. I think. I'm still a little unclear on this." * Yuri looks over at him and smiles a little. "Well, the options were hell, torture and then hell, or... well, this." Beat, then a quieter, "This sounds like the best for you." * Will grimaces and nods. "Yeah. What about for you?" * Yuri chuckles a little and flexes her hand. "You not being torn apart... it's a good thing." She looks back up at him. "Come on, let's head down. We'll... talk more later." * Will puts a hand on Yuri's shoulder. "I don't see the scene ending quite that way." * Yuri looks up at him, turning towards him and smiling slightly. "Oh, now that you're a director sort, you've got vision?" * Will grins. "Damn straight." He leans in and kisses his future/present girlfriend-to-be. * Yuri tiptoes for him, and grabs the back of his head with her tight grip for the kiss against the mountainy backdrop. There! [Yuri notices as she does this that her benefit from the last mission was more superstrength. Well, actually she almost certainly doesn't notice that.] [End!]
