[So Maggie gets the conference call from Warlow to determine the setting of the fight. Watch channel will be setup once that's done.] Does either side have any requests? * Marguerite is smoking. Somehow you can even tell over the phone. "Somethin' industrial." Regretting not getting a straight brawn job Maggie-dear? But yeah, works for me. Naw, I just wanna have somethin' rusty around to cram up your dick. Ah, poor Maggie, you got your directions reversed. And really, if you use iron based dildos you really should make sure to clean out ever now and then. [Warlow cuts it off. "Save it for the fight."] [The setting is a nice four story large warehouse type factory, one that still has gritty flourescent light, although the machinery is off at the moment.] [The base machinary is two stories tall and makes it quite difficult to get a view of more than ones immediate vincinity.] [There's some conveyer belts and twisting gears about, although if you don't fall or get knocked back into anything there's enough room to walk safely.] [On the third and fourth floor there's catwalks going left to right on third floor, front to back on fourth. Also a small crane and a control room on the fourth floor.] [You both start on ground floor, Breaker and Warlow are ther.] [Fight doesn't start til Breaker declares it as she leaves.] [The watch channel is actually a few blocks away, cause you want to be adjacent considering Maggie's gun?] [There's a lunch spread, sandwiches, chips, crackers, cheese, and wine.] [Vega Ortiz is actually there, but wheelchair bound, she still looks pretty banged up, she's been polite but has largely been paying attention to the monitors.] [No one else at the moment.] * Yuri is there, too. Today she's wearing a pink top with a butterfly on it, and some dark jeans. * Yuri peers at the monitors with her golden eyes. Hopefully the monitors are better visibility than the warehouse. [They are, they give a good all angle view, some are enhanced with night vision and the like.] * Marguerite is standing, Bubba resting against her leg. She's draining her hip flask, somehow managing to keep her cigarette in her mouth while she does so. * Peter has one of his EU multi rifles handy. He's got urban camoflage garb and a flak jacket on. * Marguerite is in her urban camo jumpsuit, as well. Her hair's braided back like usual, but it seems angrier somehow. Her face is plastered with a snarl which the alcohol doesn't seem to be doing anything about. She tucks the flask back and gnaws on the cig. [The particular model he's carrying has a grenade launcher with a choice of two different types. Can't tell from the outside what the load-out is though. It also can function as a fully automatic rifle or take single shots with greater accuracy.] [Being the lasted in tech it has an internal stabalizer and a heads up display available for cyber-augmented commandos (which Peter is). The laser sight is really just bonus.] * Peter looks cocky as hell. You got some 'tude today, Peter. What happened, you find an unattended sheep last night? As one whose gone furry recently, I wouldn't talk Maggie. * Breaker seems horribly amused by all this. * Warlow seems a tad put off. "Machinery on or off to start with?" Hey, even when I'm not a wolf, I'm more man than you'll ever be. Doesn't fucking matter to me. * Peter snickers. "Y'know Maggie-dear, despite what your sub-conscious says, that gun of yours doesn't count as a dick. And turn them on. * Yuri says mostly to herself, "Saldin is right. They ARE angry people..." * Vega nods and sighs and seems like she's hoping for a mutual knock out. * Breaker snickers more. Warlow hits a button and things start to get loud as various machinary movs, generating a small amount o steam but mostly noise, and oh so exciting danger. Lights are dimmed for a moment, pick your positions. [Lights indeed are dimmed, Peter gets wandering off.] [Peter's gone with the same strategy as Maggie, going for an opposite corner.] * Marguerite shouts over the machinery, "You're right. I'll have to cut yours off and mount it over my fucking fireplace, you limp-wristed misogynistic fairy." She stalks off into the dim! I'm rooting for the chick, something in my gut against the guy. Good sense? [They both start walking off.] Naw, it's more than just his being an asshole, I'm used to that, something else. * Yuri snickers at Breaker's statement, then says, after a second, "Good sense is right. Mad Dog's got the skill." [The lights get restored and Breaker gives the "Go!" signal.] [Roll for initiative!] * Marguerite takes a series of quick breaths. She stomps out her cig, pulls Bubba, and puts on her game face. * Yuri stretches a little cutely, then and continues to watch the monitors. o_o * Yvonne throws the doors open and bursts into the room with enthusiasm. "Hi everyone! Hi Yuri, you're looking sexy today. Oooh, food!" She grabs munchies. [Maggie, Peter] * Maggie pulls back to the closest corner to keep her back against the wall. [There's some barrells and a machine that stamps things on the conveybelt adjacent to Maggie. Probably best not to dive into that one.] * Marguerite walks out from her corner, past the barrels and the machine. She's keeping her eyes peeled, especially vertically. Bubba bobs along with her gait. She looks very focused. (Awareness check! +4 if you're using hearing) (Cause noise) * Yuri looks over at Yvonne with a quirked frown. "And here I thought you just thought I looked good with my clothes off." * Yvonne comes over with a glass of grapefruit juice and a bag of chips. "Gee, I dunno... Let's find out!" [Peter launches a grenade into the air as he keeps moving.] [No sign of Peter immediately, although quickly enough you note a high arced grenade launch from a distant corner. Give me another awareness check to get a position.] [She gets that he's somewhere sort of on the far side, but even with a wide angle shot it might be more luck than anything.] [She does note though that thick smoke starts billowing out from the area where the grenade landed, would take a couple more to actually cover the whole floor.] [Maggie!] * Vega gives Yvonne a minimum for sake of politeness nod as she enters. * Yvonne waves to Vega. * Kahlya opens the doors hesitantly, a bit after Yvonne, and peeks in. "Um...am I la--" She watches the screen just as she comes in and stops it, staring. Still in baseball getup, tailor made for today's loligoth. * Yuri stares at Yvonne for a second, then looks back at the monitors. "No thanks. Besides. Saldin's female today. Apparently, you like an older women." * Yvonne giggles. "You can both do it ^^" * Yuri is saved from an ungracious facefault by the fact that she's not in an anime. * Vega seems content to ignore this discussion from her wheelchair. She glances unflinching when Kahlya arrives. "Just started." * Kahlya smiles softly at Vega as she enters. "Didn't expect to see you here." The EU is in contention. * Kahlya shuts the door quietly behind her with her whole body, still watching the fight. She hasn't noticed the food just yet. * Marguerite makes a small grin. She takes off running towards the center of the room. [The smoke is thicker there, but not omnipresent. +2. Oh, and refresh awareness check.] (+2 to vision.) [Peter isn't in sight, but Maggie satisfies herself that he's not on any of the crosswalks and gets a -4 bonus to spotting him next time he potentially gives away his position.] * Marguerite nods to herself. She starts making her way towards the stairway, spending as much time behind cover as she possibly can. * Peter in fact does launch another grenade, again to the central area, which is now up to +4 awareness penalty at the periphary, +8 in the depth of the smoke, +2 near the edges of the room. * Yuri rubs her shoulders. "Hitting on Master Qian is creepy enough, Miss Mozzarella." Why? Because he's bald? I admit that's a bit of a turnoff. But I'll buy him a wig. * Yuri looks over at her incredulously. "Because he's a MONK." Yeah. Monks are sexy. * Yuri rubs her own bald head. "Monks are also bald a lot of the time." An attention-shift to the monitor follows, then, "Wow, that's a whole lot of smoke." (Let's see, give me a body roll, hide skill for bonus, for how fast you can move while keeping cover.) (And awareness roll, with bonus (stairs are at periphary, so only +2 penalty. For sight of the grenade launch.) [Maggie's turn again. She thinks he may be at the far corner or moving in some, but she'd just be relying on luck. She can get to the third floor catwalk in one round, but she'll need a body roll to be able to do anything else while at the top, and +2 steady hand penalties to attacking while climbing.] [+2 to the body if she tries to move quietly to do it] (And a skill roll as well) (So go ahead and make rolls and declare actions when you're ready) With that gun of hers, one clean shot is typically enough for a kill. * Yuri nods a little. "It's... um, big enough." * Marguerite ratches a lever on Bubba, and launches herself at the catwalk stairway. She fires off a spread blast at the corner she guesses he's in as she's running up. (Okay, give me an awareness check with +8 (cause of smoke) if that fails give me a soul (luck) roll. Either way, only the +2 steady hand penalty to your shot.) [Maggie blasts just the area she was aiming for, unfortunately while there's a groaning of machinery (not the industrial laithe, noooo!) there's no satisfying screams melting flesh smells.] [Peter seems to have a good idea where that shot came from and wasn't in much danger. He gets moving while aiming his gun at Maggie's position. He seems content to stay grounded for now.] * Yuri winces at the plasma blast. "I'm reminded of the woman you fought, Yvonne." The big fat ugly one? Yes. That one. She was weeeird. And I had to kick her a lot. * Yuri nods slightly. "There was definitely a lot of kicking." [At this point the smoke has become pretty evenly spread. +6 for the center area, +3 for close to the walls. Maggie's above it though, so she only has penalties for looking in (and vice versa for looking out)] [There's a burst of automatic weapon fire from the smoke. Awareness to pinpoint location +6 vision, +4 sound. And dodge roll, +1 from spreading.] [Interestingly, he seems not to be using his laser sight. Perhaps he's not an effing moron.] [Maggie takes two hit from the automatic rifle. Fortunately they weren't aimed particularly well, so she gets the benefit of her body armor] * Marguerite grunts, but doesn't slow down. Maggie got shot. * Yuri quirks her head. "Maggie? Is that Mad Dog's name?" Uh huh. Didn't you know? * Yuri shakes her head. "I guess I missed it, if she introduced herself... I was sorta distracted. And Saldin never knew it." She smirks a little. "Or he just didn't tell me." * Kahlya up at the screen and then over at the people talking. She seems like she was distracted for a bit, which is punctuated by the "Huh?" * Yuri licks her lips. "Not like he doesn't have a hundred other things to tell me. SAB people aren't exactly part of my training." She glances back at Khalya. Golden eyes! Bald! Funny Kanji Tattoos! Japanese! Attractive! "Hello?" [Maggie's turn. She doesn't have a firm fix on his location. +6 vision, +4 hearing. She's at the third level crosswalks now. She has a clear view of the machinary and the paths between them at this point. THink of it as a 4x4 grid with a major piece of machinery in each space. [Currently one of those pieces is smoking rubble.] [Control room for crane and machinary is on fourth floor. Two rounds away if you want it.] * Marguerite thinks for a split second, then crouches, grabs a concussion grenade out of her jumpsuit, and arcs the thing over the side of the catwalk towards the corridors near the machine she blew up. When she's done that, she makes a break towards the control room. [Body roll for the control room, remember armor penalty if you have one (I forgot if you paid extra for no pen armour)] * Kahlya looks at Yuri oddly and waves awkwardly. "Uh...hi? We met didn't we?" Maybe... were you in the tunnel? * Kahlya nodnods. "I...uh...don't think that went over too well." She glances at Vega now. [Maggie actually gets up the next level of stairs and halfway around the catwalks to get to the shut door of the control room while dropping her grenade. There's a distant slight grunt, although Peter doesn't seem to have been anywhere near the epicenter of the blast. He may have taken slight flak damage though.] [Peter is keeps rapidly moving and his gun trained on a good approximation of where Maggie is, the wide blast radius of the grenade caught his with a bit of shrapnel in his armour, doesn't look like he's really hurt but he is annoyed.] Idiot, keep your mouth shut. * Vega is clearly speaking to the screen when she says that. Neither one of them is sexy. This fight is boring. * Yuri glances at the screens, then says at Khalya, "Sorry I didn't recognize you, they may sparkle a little, but these..." she points at her eyes, "... don't see in the dark." * Kahlya smiles. "Well we all can't be perfect." She doesn't look away from Vega as she walks over to her slowly. "Hey." * Yuri mms a little, sees Kahyla focus on Vega, and decides to turn back to the monitors. "Why is sexy so important to you? I mean, uh, besides you looking like a fantasy." [Peter does not seem pleased by this and shouts. "That the best you got, bitch?" While firing up at Maggie. He seems to again have a fix on her location, although most of the automatic fire is wild.] [Dodge Maggie, and only no penalty on hearing awareness roll for this round, cause of shouting.] [Maggie manages to avoid the few shots that are actually close to her by swiftly ducking. Maggie!] [Maggie manages to track Peter's movements pretty well from the yelling and automatic weapon fire. She's got a good enough fix to make a shot with her spreading or area attack fire modes.] [Straight would still involve some luck.] * Marguerite checks Bubba's mode, pops over the railing, makes a quick sight, and looses the fires of hell. [Peter saw the bolts coming and ran for cover, nearly making it, but not quite getting far enough to avoid the wide spread of the attack. He's looking extrordinarily pissed and has an odd dark tint to his eyes.] * Vega looks slightly concern and pays close attention to Peter's monitor. * Yvonne giggles. "You're too young to know." * Yuri looks over at Yvonne suspiciously. "... and you're the one trying to pick me up." * Kahlya eyes Vega oddly, and whispers something to her. * Yvonne giggles at Yuri. * Vega shakes her head. "Curious." [Maggie gets a well aimed shot and is rewarded with a satisfying yipe from the floor of the factory. Doesn't seem like he's down yet, but she definately got a solid hit.] * Marguerite ducks inside the control room and crouches again. [Electronics (robotics) roll to get a good feel for what the controls do. -4 cause labels. If you had time it'd be easy.] [The control room has two panels and a circutry box, as well as a big glass window on three sides overlooking the factory. [There's a table and lockers on the back wall.] [Maggie recognizes the crane controls and can shut off machinery if she so desires via a the circut box or the direct controls. She can also access the buildings security/fire alarm system and most remote controls for the machinary if she thinks of something clever to do with it.] [Peter then puts his hands together and raises them to the air, a clear looking distortive bubble flies up above the smoke, he then gets moving again with a bit of a limp, as he is badly hurt.] * Vega looks quite surprised at that. (Maggie looking out the windows?) (Peeking over them. She's crouched.) [She see's a distortion bubble rapidly rising to about the fourth floor level and then suddenly exploding with the noise of a sonic boom, the catwalks shake and look far more unstable, and the glass of the control room instantly implodes.] [The sound of the attack is deadened greatly by the speakers, as, well, they don't go to 11.] 2d8-2 [Dodge roll to be able to react in time, I'll let you describe how you do it, and body roll, +2, to resist audio flare.] * Marguerite shouts "FUCK", which is probably not heard over the noise, and makes a dive under the table, immediately curling into a ball and covering her neck with her hands. [Maggie is still hit with a good chunk of glass, a few pieces managing to get under the table and around her armour, but it's pretty minimal. Maggie!] * Yuri 's widens her eyes at the attack. "Wow. Neat." That was kinda cool. But he's still not sexy. * Vega seems even more surprised. * Kahlya watches that and just simply lets out a "...huh. That's new." Well, I'm sure Mad Dog would be happy to hear that. You missed all the insults. At least, I'm pretty sure they are insults. * Tim walks in late, "Man, I hate having to rely on other people for transportation, and of course ther's nobody around who knows where this place is... What'd I miss?" [Oh, and need awareness rolls again for getting a fix on him.] * Marguerite growls deep in her throat. She grabs the table and rolls with it so that it lands on any glass before she does, but is still quieter than kicking it off of her. She takes a closer look at the controls.. * Kahlya glances at Tim and waves it off slightly. "Nothing much." * Yvonne waves. "Hi Tim!" * Tim waves back at Yvonne and walks over to her, "Hey Yvonne." * Kahlya pouts. "Don't I get a hi?" Hey Kahlya, good fight... * Tim then blinks at Vega, "You too, I'm kinda glad I didn't go up against you." * Yuri is watching the screens. She glances over at Tim and nods at him slightly, then returns to watching. Thank you. I'm sure it would have been interesting though if you had. * Kahlya looks back at Vega, and leans her elbows on the back of her chair. "Yeaaaah...where'd you get all those explosive type things and such? I'd like to see some of them.." Oh I thought ours was plenty interesting. EU quartermaster. I'm afraid we don't sell them to members of other organizations. Guess we'll have to find out who their supplier is. I didn't say I wanted to buy any, just look at them. Didn't bring any with me. It's a bit heavy firepower for the viewing booth. * Kahlya thumbs at the monitor. "Does he have any?" * Vega nods. * Tim nods to himself and looks at the screens, "Ye olden fire factory I see." * Kahlya smiles and watches the monitor. "I'll have to ask him after the fight then...if he's still conscious...he seems to be faring well so far though.." * Yuri chuckles. "Whatever it is, there's much less of it than there was before." He's gonna lose. * Marguerite turns on the fire suppression system, and lowers the crane as far as it will go, making sure the arm will actually hit the ground. Then she moves by the door, and reloads Bubba because she can. [The sprinklers come on as well as a fairly annoying alarm. The smokes starts to clear. Down to +4/+2, will keep dropping next round.] [Peter finds a nice spot with some cover and arcs a grenade towards the control center.] [Peter, for his part, launches a grenade at the control booth that manages to make it into the now non-existant windows. Dodge roll Maggie!] [Maggie, because she was wise enough to move to the door, is able to avoid the majority of the grenade damage as she gets out of the control room, her flak jacket absorbs most of the rest. Well, with Maggie all she has to do is hit him once, that gun of hers is nasty. * Yvonne nods. ...Although it's starting to look like the opposite is true too... how long have they been at it? * Yuri shrugs. "A minute or two?" Huh. [Maggie's turn!] * Marguerite kicks out the door, and runs pellmell for the crane cable. [Body roll - acrobatics (jump) to get a hold of it. I'm assuming she moved it into the best possible position before hand, so I'll give a -4 on that.] * Marguerite pulls a bandanna out of her pocket as she runs... she leaps for the cable, grabs it, and wraps the bandanna around it. She proceeds to slide down the thing, holding it between the arches of her boots and at the top with the bandanna. She drops fairly damn fast. ...I hope she's stronger than I think she is...or that's gonna hurt when she hits bottom. [Peter had saw what Maggie was pulling and moved in position to rake her with fire as she dropped, but seems deeply disgusted that she went to fast for him. He arcs his gun for a grenade launch instead.] [Maggie gets to the bottom fast alright, faster than she really intended, the bandana was good for protecting her hands, but proved to do jack to slow her and her feet didn't get a great grip. Give me a body (acrobatics) roll for when you hit ground. You're slower than if you'd jumped, but still way fast. [Maggie hits the ground hard, not manages to roll off any of the damage or even direct it towards the armoured section of her body. Does hurt a lot all over and she's presently prone.] * Yuri winces very slightly. "Nnf. I bet that would hurt." I, uh... guess she's not that strong after all. Nice trick. Bad form.. [Peter takes his shot, arcing the grenade over the machines in between himself and the crane.] [Shortly after Maggie hits a ground a grenade from Peter lands to join her, fortunately for Maggie his aim is a little off, so she's not at the area of maximum impact. Unfortunately for Maggie she's on the ground and has a +4 to dodge.] [Maggie doesn't even manage to get up in time, luckily for her she only takes about half the impact because of Peter's bad aim. * Kahlya sighs and folds her arms up behind her head, glancing idly at the monitor. "And the explosions keep on coming.." He does seem to like grenades doesn't he. Yeah...I mean whatever works I guess, but come on. Boooooooring. * Yuri frowns. "It's not supposed to be that exciting." Indirect fire is rather helpful if you don't want your opponent to have line of sight and you know exactly where your opponent is. * Kahlya smiles. "I'd have known. At least before you hit me with that loud whopper of a grenade. My ears are still ringing.." But I guess that doesn't help Maggie down there, huh? [MAggie!] * Marguerite actually lets out a yelp and flops back down. Then she starts growling and forces herself up. She glances around, then takes off towards the area he's in, working behind cover as much as she can. 2d8 * Peter seems to have a vague idea where she's coming from and holds his arm in an arc, letting his gun hang from his shoulder strap. There's a rapidly spreading sonic boom that travels through the machinery and in Maggie's direction. (that should have been watch) [Maggie sees another distortion wave of sound coming at it and rippling through the machines. Dodge roll, +2 from spreading. Also flare roll, -2 bonus as this one isn't as loud.] There's that sonic extraplanar attack again. I wonder where he picked that up... * Vega narrows her eyes. "Good question." * Tim shrugs. * Yuri looks back at Vega. "It's really that new?" She looks slightly worried. Maybe he got possessed by something cooler than him. * Vega nods. "People do pick up techniques, but I shall have to have a talk with him." Should be a good story. * Kahlya hmms and just watches quietly. If she's following the conversation, she's not paying much heed. [Maggie manages to duck under the blast and keep her hearing just fine, she also manages to triangulate where he's coming from. Although while the smokes down to +2/+0 she still has no line of sight because he's keeping machinery between her and him.] [Maggie!] * Marguerite dashes for a corridor, trying to get him in her sights. [Maggie manages to get him in his sights, he had a head start though so he's got partial cover from a piece of machinery he's running behind. +2 penalty to attack roll.] * Marguerite espies him, and grins. "Got you now, fucker." She fires. * Peter doesn't quite make it around the corner in time and is knocked back against machinery on the far side of him and falls to the ground, looking badly burnt. When he does so there's another one of the sonic booms, this time centered on him. The machinery around him rattles an Maggie needs a roll to avoid being knocked over by the force of the blast even if it doesn't directly hurt her. She also needs another flare roll, +2 penalty. Ha! Gottem! Told ya * Yuri seems more concerned with the new sonic shockwave. Although I would like to know where he's pulling thoes out of. [Interestingly, the blast seemed to do serious damage to the already shaken building, the catwalks above our respective hero and villains squell loudly and give way, first in one area, then cascading throughout the complex as the weight grows.] [Maggie stays up but her hearing goes to hell, all she's got is a ringing. Visual awareness roll.] (Okay, describee your next action.) * Marguerite trots over, draws her DE, and aims to put a bullet in each kneecap. Oh dear. So, bets on who has stuff fall on them first? [Poor deaf Maggie seems quite oblivious to this and hasn't noted the fact that there's an inreasing amount of metal dust and screws falling around her.] * Yuri frowns. * Kahlya eyes that. "...and she said no outside interference, didn't she?" * Vega nods. "That is the rule." But it's not outside interference I know. But if they're both dead... * Kahlya shrugs. "Guess it'd be a draw?" * Yuri 's eyes widen. "Yes it is!" ... So that's not something he bought? How do you figure? * Yuri points at the screen. "A sonic extraplanar! It's hiding inside of the dead guy!" Dead guy? Wha? Dea... Peater's a corpse? * Tim looks at Vega. Apparently so. * Yvonne squints at the screen. "He's dead?" * Kahlya eyes the monitor. "Huh. That explains a lot." * Yuri starts taking slow steps back. "Dead, almost dead, something, I don't know! Sonic extraplanar!" Wouldn't the Champion have noticed it though? Shit, somebody needs to get her out of there. [A few of the cameras suddenly fizz out, including the one that had the best shot of the two. The other cameras move into the dust trying to get a better view.] [Maggie gets off an extremely satisfying knee-cap shot into the unconscious Peter, just as she notics a few more screws and dust falling around her, shortly followed by the full force of a catwalk slamming into her back, and incidentally into Peter. Really not his day.] UGH. [Peter doesn't make much noise at all, as both he and Maggie are buried under the walk.] I don't know... You sure he didn't make a deal with it or something? * Yuri blinks slightly, almost as if she isn't there... then just flat out vanishes as she walks backwards. [Yuri then appears rather close to Maggie.] Well, here's hoping fate thinks she needs to help dig them out. I'd help... but I don't know where they are.... Argh. * Kahlya doesn't seem to be watching Yuri. She's watching the monitors, rubbing her chin, and thinking... * Yvonne blinks. "Uh..." [Getting a better picture, but not there yet.] * Marguerite listens to see if Peter is still breathing. (Awareness checks, sound and vision, both of you.) [Maggie discovers that Peter is ringing! Wait, no, she's not sure, maybe she can see if he is those.] (though) [Maggie's still deaf for now.] * Marguerite is more going for the feel of breath, if there is any. [Maggie can see that his chest isn't rising or falling. If he's not dead, he will be PDQ. She also sees some strange movement by his body, Yuri, unfortunately, doesn't see anything.] [Renew awareness checks, and take any actions you want to do. SS check can be renewed as well.] * Yuri looks around, getting her bearings, and steps out of shoes as she does so. "I really hope those cameras are down." I sure hope she's right about this. Or she just disqualified them both. Saldin seemed to figure things like that out pretty quick, and Yuri's the same kind so... [Another camera does show Breaker and Warlow heading over quite quickly.] You goddamn COCKSUCKER. Fucking asshole, you had to fucking use your fucking gadgets... you worthless shit. * Marguerite strains against the metal, likely futilely. (Give me a body roll Maggie.) [Incidentally it does continue to hurt to be under the catwalk, although the damage isn't as bad as before. The pressure does add up though. Maggie should be fine, but Peter, not so good.] Oof.... What? [Maggie strains enough that she won't be taking any damage from the catwalk this round, and gets a -2 to her next roll.] * Marguerite grunts, starts growling, and HEAVES. * Kahlya waves her hand faintly. "Maybe. Even so, Breaker's the one who determines outside interference. That'd mean on his side as well as Yuri's." * Vega's just watching. * Yuri steps out of her pants and then begins to run towards something nobody can see. [The camera's are now close enough, unfortunately for Yuri, that she is in view. Man, Smee's happy.] * Yvonne is too! XD ...I'm... not gonna even ask what happend to her pants... She's a monk in training. They strip all the time. Purification thing? Monks are so cool! ...Oookay... [Maggie heaves and manages to lift the catwalk sufficiently that she can slip out from under it easily enough.] * Yuri reaches behind her back, then lifts off her shirt and grabs her amulet, having in fact, very quickly, gotten out of all her clothing. She continues moving, and the amulet begins to glow/hum. * Kahlya eyes the monitor. "And...uh..." She peers. "This isn't part of the ritual that I know of.." But I don't know what the bald thing is all about. Strip naked and shave your head. Sounds pretty contrasting. Not really... I mean...if you're going to be seen naked, you don't wanna be all hairy. Eww. Maybe it's like one of my aunts... her power doesn't mix to well with clothes.... * Vega watches the camera with Peter intently. No way in hell she could get there in time, so... * Kahlya quiets down and watches Yuri with an intense gaze. And unlike Yvonne, it doesn't seem like she's staring at the stark nakedness. * Marguerite pants a bit, then looks over to Peter. Then she spits on him, and wanders off after Yuri, though not at any kind of a run. She's seriously aching. [Yuri feels the creature weakening, it keeps running for it. Breaker and Warlow come in the front door.] [Next round!] * Yuri yells, "STOP MOVING YOU LOUSY SPIRIT!" Her eyes and amulet flash a bright gold. Maggie, if she's following, gets to see the nice stylized soul tattoo, with rocks floating in and on the wisps of the spirit. * Warlow rushes over to Peter and tries to get the walkway off of him. Breaker makes a dash for the creature Yuri is attacking. [One of the cameras settles on the catwalk, and does catch signs of movement beneath it.] * Tim tries to watch all the cameras, but the nekkid Yuri cam is getting more time. [Yuri continues to hurt the thing, although there's a sudden squel from it as a blast of sonic energy flies from under the catwalk and manages to jar a side door, doesn't blow it completely off the hinges though.] [Next round!] * Marguerite looks back to the catwalk, and runs back as fast as she can. If that asshole's still breathing, he's gonna be doing it through a whole new host of holes... [The creature rushes outside of the building and starts to fly up, and fading largely to transparency, but not completely gone yet. Breaker's almost caught up but isn't there yet... One more round.] * Yuri continues running. She doesn't look over at Breaker, but she gets a grin on her face. [And the creature evaporates into a mist gone from this plane. Breaker arrives right behind Yuri and looks disappointed.] * Yvonne watches. "Hmm..." ...That... was pathetic. That was dumb. [Warlow does manage to get the catwalk off Peter with some effort, she then lays a hand on him and some of the plasma scars begin to fade.] * Marguerite frowns. "Stop that shit." * Warlow looks up at Maggie. "Match is over. You've won." * Warlow keeps up what she's doing. He's still _breathing_. Or he's going to be. It's not over yet. * Kahlya stares at the monitor for a long while. Then she turns and heads out the door without a word. Oh my. There's gonna be a killings. Maybe. * Yuri takes a deep breath, and the drops her amulet and puts her arms over her chest, shivering slightly before looking over at Breaker's disappointed look. * Warlows tone gets a great deal more grit. "Actually, it is. You want to torture him, take it up on your own time." She frowns and looks down at Peter, whose plasma burns are incidentally still getting better, oddly enough the catwalk wounds aren't even touched. * Ardle is now known as Ardweden * Breaker smiles. "Nice job. Although you should probably put some clothes on." He wouldn't have hesitated to kill me. And I wouldn't have hesititated to try and stop him afterwards. And take appropriate steps if he succeeded. * Warlow is still not giving Maggie most of her attention. * Yuri shivers again. "Yes I should, but there's cameras in there. You wouldn't mind, uh, getting them, would you?" She blushes slightly, then looks around for something approaching cover. * Marguerite shoots a look at Warlow. Then she spits on Peter again, walks over to grab her gun from where it landed when she got hit, and holsters it. She limps toward the exit. Well, I say find out who planned that and then kill him, slowly if he planned that bit of stupidity. [One of the cameras is working to track Yuri right now. But not for long.] * Breaker grins. "Sure." She walks back in, idly tossing a rock at a passing camera that tried to keep up the Yuri coverage. It takes the hit hard and crumbles to the ground, not functioning. * Yuri looks up at the camera, blinks, then smiles at Breaker and opens her mouth... and a loud piercing shriek comes out. [Paramedics show up next. But Warlow stands and looks over to them. "Doesn't matter, it was close, but he's gone." That whole fight was dumb. * Vega frowns at that pronouncement. And decides to wheel herself out. Seeya Vega, at least you fought well. * Yvonne stares. "Hey!" Isn't killing prohibited? Thank you. Good luck in your fight. Intentionaly yeah... And thanks. It was the catwalk that finished him I think, he was breathing before that. * Vega then goes the rest of the way out. Hmm, so he gets disqualified for killing himself and cheating... and we don't get to find out if he was trying to cheat or not. Suck. * Marguerite brightens when she hears this, and stops her trudge toward the exit. She looks back at Peter. * Breaker starts at that, looks at Yuri funnily. "I'm hurrying already." [She gets back with the clothes in a bit.] * Yuri covers her mouth and her eyes widen, and when Breaker gets back with her clothes, she puts them all on as quickly as possible. [Another camera gets the view of Yuri and Breaker, but is probably disappointed that she's now clothed.] * Tim eyes the new camera angle, "Bah." Oh. Well, still... * Breaker looks at Yuri oddly. "You okay?" * Yuri shakes her head, then points at her amulet, then points at her throat, then makes a 'bang' gesture. * Breaker nods and pats Yuri on the back. "Do be sure not to walk in on a still going fight, but that one ended effing weird, so it's alright." * Maggie sees Peter lying there. Quite dead. No plasma scars any more, but he's not returning to life. Medics are dealing with him anyways. (Last comments!) * Yuri lets out a very short chuckle, and nods, before bowing and mouthing, slowly, "Thank you." * Marguerite spits a third time, just on the ground. "Asshole." She heads toward the exit again. * Yvonne wanders off. * Tim shrugs, "Well at least I caught the interesting bits." * Tim walks off after Yvonne. [End!]
