[Tim and Angel are conferenced called in to determine the location of the fight. It's getting to be dinner time.] What will it be? Well, I'd like something nice and big and mostly wide open, but with some hard cover... You? Out by the Thames. A beautiful place to display my superiority. We could use a park by the river. That meet everyone's needs? If Angel can restrain herself from shooting anybody who's not me, sure. Easily done. I just don't choose that route all the time, Juniour. Civilians will of course be cleared. So, we're agreed? Done. Do you swim, Tim? I can, why do you ask? You just might get a little wet, is all. Hmm, maybe this will be more interesting that I thought it would. I'll just have to see. [So you're taken to park by the Thames.] [There's a good number of trees running along a path, though they are mostly solitary and provide middling cover. There is a more forested area in the vincinity as well.] [The trail does run near the river, which is protected by a guard posts with chains between them.] [A bit off in the distance you can see the watchers in a shielded gazebo.] [There is one statue in the middle of a fountain that is flowing now, fairly pretty.] [Only a few pidgeons at the moment though.] [There's also a sundial in a flower garden.] [You start by the river and solitary trees, anything else you can head towards or away from and is at least 10 ms away by default.] [Warlow and Breaker both stand by. Breaker announces when things start.] [The watch area is actually a gaebo in the park, a fairly large one with room for a dozen people comfortably.] [There's been bullet proof shielding setup around the sides.] * Red has a seat after being transported there in some way or another. [There's a nice picnic style lunch available with a tea layout.] [Joining you are Mai, Victor, and a slightly overweight older woman that you haven't seen before.] [There are monitors for if the action goes out of sight.] * Red gets some food, too, then. How thoughtful of them to bring it. * Yuri is there. She is carrying a smallish whiteboard, and is wearing the same pink top and jeans she had earlier. She's got her arms firmly wrapped around her. * Yvonne is there! She's wearing her usual red-leather getup and has a big "GO TIM!" flag to wave around. * Red grins. "Nice flag, Yvonne. Make it yourself?" * Yvonne nods and grins. Tim's gonna beat her down! One can hope. * Yuri makes a slight nod along with Yvonne and Red. [Mai and Victor mostly stick to themselves, but they do nod at that sentiment.] [The older woman doesn't venture an opinion.] * Angel arrives carrying a black plastic bag, and dressed in her standard red-and-black biker leathers. "So, how are we going to do this, Kiddo?" * Tim also arives, wearing a pair of faded black jeans and a white tank top, his hair's still blue and there are a pair of large packing crates next to him, "I dunno, I was going to wait untill they said start and then hit you until you stopped moving." * Tim eyes Angel as he waits for her to respond or Warlow to get on with it. Well, if you want to start in sight of each other, guess I don't have anything to do." * Breaker and Warlow walk off to a different watch location, as per-tradition. Start hasn't been called just yet. * Yuri finishes looking around the room, and lets out a small sigh. What's wrong, Yuri? * Yuri writes something on the whiteboard, then holds it up, giving Red a flat golden-eyed look. It says, "It hasn't been a great day." It hasn't, hm? I might ask you about it later. When you don't have to write your responses. If you don't mind. * Yvonne pokes Yuri. "Laryn...gitis... that thing that makes you not talk? That what happen?" * Red blinks. * Yuri writes a hasty, "Don't touch me," then whirls on Yvonne and shows it to her with an annoyed look in her eyes. Then she draws a line and writes, to Red, "Well, you'll have a while to wait." * Yvonne blinkblinks. "Oh, fine. Be that way." * Tim 's two crates are _made of wood_ one of them's a few feet taller than he and about a sixth as deep, the other is a 1x1x1 meter cube, other than that they seem fairly ordinary. So, how about those friends there, Runt? What'cha hidin'? You'll find out soon enough, they're not exactly flashy, but they'll get the job done. On three. Three, two... [Roll init] [Breaker and Warlow are rather far away at this point and behind a different shield. And for the record, the gazebo has a one way mirror so you cant see in, for the record.] One, go! How long a while? Rest of the day? A week or so? * Yuri erases her whiteboard and rubs her arms, before writing, "Don't know. Probably not more than a day." [Angel, Tim] [Angel!] * Angel tosses the bag at Tim and pulls out her gleaming pair of best friends, opening fire on Tim. [Angel opens fire! Very exciting, all three shots are on target. Defense Tim!] * Yuri erases her board and writes on it for a little bit. * Yuri then shows it to Yvonne, with a slightly annoyed look continuing. "Saldin may not mind if you grab him all the time, but I do. It's not about sex, so just stop already." * Yuri then gets to erasing the board and watching the outside. * Yvonne doesn't see it. She's watching the fight! [And there's a path there with protection for late arrivals, given the interest. (Up this to the start when revising.] * Yvonne gets a sign shoved in her face. She pushes it down. "Hey!" * Yuri wraps her arms around herself again and lets out another sigh. [And give me an awareness roll on the bag.] * Tim smirks at Angel and then is obscured from view by the sudden introvention of a chunck of battleship armor with a hand raising it's middle finger spraypainted on it. * Victor grins. "If you're porting in armour, go all the way." I think he still got hit though. * Red sees the battleship armor and the middle finger and laughs. * Yvonne grins. "Tim's gonna win for sure. You watch!" [The first two bullets bounce off the armour without denting it, the third ricochets and loses some momentum, but it still nicks him.] [Tim!] * Tim grunts when he gets hit, "Fukit, CATCH!" he then snaps his finger causing a large spiked steal ball to appear a few inches over Angels's head. [Angel manages to dive out of the way.] * Angel anticipates Tim's methods and steps sideways, watching the ball fall harmlessly to the ground. Or... she could dodge... But he'll still win! * Mai bites her lip. Keep trying, Tim. * Woman just watches. Hopefully, Yvonne, he will. * Yuri looks over at Red, then scribbles out a, "Isn't she on your team?" Of course he will. * Yvonne grins toothily. "The good guys always win." [Meanwhile a cobra crawls out of the bag and rears it's cowled head, staring at Tim, but not having time to attack this round.] [Angel!] [The ball makes a substantial dent in the ground.] [Oh, and Tim, awareness roll. +4 modifier.] Yes, Yuri, she is, but she's also loathesome creature who the world would be better off without. And hopefully, she'll soon be taken out of the race, so I won't have to worry about her being on the same team as myself anymore. * Yuri looks at Red funny for a second, then writes, "Well, okay. I can't complain. It helps us, after all." She smiles a little. * Angel runs to the side of the intervening shield and takes some more shots at the upstart shitstain. [Angel gets two good shots off, but on the third shot a bullet, apparently badly placed in the barrel, sticks. She can fix it with one attack action.] [Tim works to teleport the first bullet, and manages to be quite shocked when it fails to register in his powers at all, and takes the first shot. Remaining bullet!] * Yvonne stares. "Hey! He couldn't teleport that!" * Mai crosses her arms over, hugging herself. Victor watches. "How did that happen?" * Red frowns. * Tim staggers back and moves the armor plate to intervien the second shot. [Tim recovers in time to get the armour in the way. Meanwhile the snake that'll move after Tim is still hissing. And he feels like hell.] Come on, Tim! Bury her under... * Yvonne thinks. "The Taj Mahal!" Come on, fall back, re-plan. * Yuri looks over at Yvonne with a incredulous look. Too large. Try the gazebo, first. Why do it half-way? [Tim!] * Tim is bleeding quite badly here, "Okay... no more of that game..." * Tim holds one hand over the hole Angel just put through him, and snaps the fingers on the other one. [Angel's non-jammed gun disappears from her hand. There's a distance splash from the river. A set of bullets fall to the ground.] I vould like zat. But I can not help. * Yvonne pouts. "He'll still win. Grr." [Snake!] * Snake hisses again and slithers over to Tim, it's head striking with nigh lightning speed. * Snake manages to be quite on target. Dodge roll Tim. * Tim gets the hell out of dodge... way the hell out. [Tim vanishes!] * Mai lets out a breath. "Way to go Tim." Where'd he go? Yeah! Go Tim! * Yvonne waves the flag. [Angel!] * Angel pulls out a ziploc bag filled with clear liquid and a small metal box. "Come out, come out, wherever you are. You can't hide from technomagic!" * Angel stands very still, holds the box out in her open palm, and attempts to listen for noises of hiding scaredy-cats. [Hearing awareness roll against mind. If you have any guesses you can get bonuses, but if your guess is wrong it'll be a penalty.] * Yuri frowns, then licks her lips. * Victor frowns at that. [Tim!] * Angel is not without her resources, and watches the spitting cobra to see if it can find Tim. "Just surrender, you cowardly snot!" * Mai doesn't seem bothered at all. "Not so pleased when her adversaries aren't chained to the wall." * Yuri looks back at Mai funny. * Yvonne nods. "She's more the coward." * Red nods. * Red looks at Yuri. "Oh, you haven't heard what she did?" * Yuri looks over at Red and shakes her head. [Camera's showing Tim's location to be on the far side of the river. Giving Angel the finger.] * Red whispers into Yuri's ear. * Tim doesn't say anything, but the piece of armor plate vanishes and something seems to have blocked out the sun over Angel. [Angel sees it coming, but not quickly enough to get entirely out of the way.] * Yvonne grins. "Yay, Tim! That's clever." "You fuck! I will find you and end this!" * Snake seems to have no clue. [Angel!] * Angel puts the silver box in the hand with the bag, slaps her pistol against her leg, watching pink dust fall out the barrel, and again attempts to discern Tim's location. [Angel here's some movement on the far side of the river. She doesn't figure out his exact location though.] [Tim!] [The plate vanishes again and appears again, only one guess as to where.] [Angel evades the plate with such speed that she gets a -4 bonus if she needs a movement roll next round.] [Snake's still confused.] * Yuri 's eyes widen and she opens her mouth, letting out a horridly loud sonic screech! [Body rolls, -4 bonus. Heightened hearing gives +2 penalty per level.] * Red covers her ears! * Yuri sighs through her nose. She looks a litle apologetic. [Mai covers her ears in time. The woman and Victor seem phased.] * Yvonne covers her ears. "Hey!" She looks around. "What gives?!" * Yuri pulls out the whiteboard and writes, "There's a reason I'm not talking, and it's not for my health." I see. Or rather, I hear. [Victor and the woman still seem phased.] Yeah. * Yuri wipes the board and writes out, "I'm very sorry," to the two who look like they got the worst of it. * Woman nods but seems annoyed. * Victor speaks more a bit too loud. "I vell understand curses dear, no harm done." * Yvonne rubs her ears, and turns back to the fight. "C'mon, Tim! Crush her!" [Angel!] * Angel charges across the bridge for the place she thinks she heard Tim. [Okay, it's some distance, so two rounds by default. +8 penalty before bonus. If you come close you'll have an easier time getting there next round.] [Angel makes good progress and manages to get a fix on Tim's location.] [Angel gets a shot off at Tim, dodge roll!] * Tim 's chunck of armor plating does what it does best and appears between himself and Angel. [Tim!] * Tim gives a little wave in Angel's direction and vanishes again. [Tim appears in a tree in the forest back on the first side.] This is terribly interesting to watch. Yeah! Go Tim! You show her who's boss! * Yuri scribbles down, "It's very dynamic," and shows it around. Mainily to Red, though. * Tim then tries to drop the plate on Angel again. [Angel does not manage to get out of the way as the battleship armour lands on her with a resounding thud. Give me a body roll Angel (acrobatics or dodge helps) -4 bonus)] [Angel's foot is stuck under the armor plating!] * Yvonne grins. "Crunch!" [Tim manages to resist laughing.] * Red nods. * Victor licks his lips as he watches Angel's predicament. He's got a predatory look. * Mai just watches. She seems less worried. * Woman snickers as she flits her eyes between the screen of Angel and Tim. * Yvonne is cheering for Tim. * Angel puts away the ziploc bag and silver box, and pulls out a different metal device with a red button on it. "Stop jumping around, you gutter-whore! You want magic, we'll fight with magic!" She presses the red button on the device. [Tim wobbles, but doesn't fall out of tree, "Okay... that one's gotta go too."] Did she always have those things? Nobody told me she had those. * Angel meanwhile tries to pull her foot free. [Angel gets her foot free by the end of the turn.] [Tim!] [Tim snaps his fingers.] [Nothing happens when Tim snaps his fingers.] * Mia looks at it quizically. "I don't recognize it." I should have given him somezing. [* Tim mutters something to himself, might be "fucking antimagic magic...what's next?"] No, now he's exactly what she likes. Helpless. * Yuri frowns. * Yvonne frowns. "Grrr..." [Angel!] * Somewhere the snake hunts a squirrel. [Angel gets a fix on him in the forest. +4 cover penalty. (Accuracy helps).] * Angel steps over the steel plate, hoping to prevent Tim from taking it again, then squeezes two rounds off at her easy target. * Tim tries to telport his own ass out of the tree. [Tim suceeds!] [The tree is hurt. ;_;] * Tim teleports to the ground under the bridge. * Woman smiles slightly. [Victor and Mai both look curious.] * Yvonne grips the flag. "Come on, Tim!" [Tim!] * Tim tries to teleport the plate out from under Angel and drop it on her head. [Still doesn't work.] [Angel!] [Angel hears Tim under the bridge at the end they both started on. She's also now tired and has +2 penalties on all rolls.] * Angel lies on the steel plate, her head and pistol hand over the edge, and fires twice at the little shit. Or at least, she meant to. But then she looses her balance and didn't have time to fire the gun. * Angel finds she has to lean out a good bit farther than she's comfortable to do that, she finds she's tipping and pulls back, losing her chance to shoot but staying dry and out of sight. [Tim!] * Tim guesses that noise was Angel finaly getting unstuck from the plate and tries to drop the ball onto it before she gets too far away. [Tim scores a hit, Angel looks pretty badly hurt.] * Victor and Mai cheer. * Woman frowns and looks over at Tim. * Red grins. * Yvonne jumps. "Yes!" [Tim grins to himself under the bridge.] * Yvonne grins back Yay! Now hit her hard, Tim! * Angel leans over the edge and takes a few potshots at the bleeder, falling into the water below. [Angel's dive manages to keep her from taking damage. Tim needs to dodge!] * Tim turns more than a little green and wobbles a bit with the effort of trying to teleport himself away from the bullets. [Tim escapes!] [Tim reappears by a tree near the entrance of the park.] [Tim's turn!] * Tim waits for this to start wearing off again. [Angel's turn!] * Angel swims under the ledge Tim was standing on and begins climbing out. [Tim, and give me an awareness roll (-4 bonus)!] [Tim still feels fairly sick, but he hears a slightly hissing almost directly above him. When he glances up he sees a fairly blurry looking snake in a slightly more solid looking but still blurry tree.] [Tim!] [Tim ports away.] [Tim ports away, the angle is such that you can't tell why.] * Woman snickers. [Mai and Victor keep watching, looking fairly tense.] [Angel!] [Tim!] "I'm going to fucking kill you!" * Yvonne blinkblinks. "She... Did she mean that?" * Yuri scribbles down and shows around, "Considering what she's done before? If I were allowed, I'd put money on yes." * Mai and Victor exchange looks. * Tim waves his hand at Angel in an attempt to crush the one on the right with plate, but nothing happens. [Angel!] * Angel guesses her future ex-opponent is in the trees, and heads that way and attempts to hide until she can find him. [Tim!] [Tim notices Angel rush into a small grove of three trees. He isn't sure exactly where she is.] * Yuri frowns, and scribbles, "Tim seems... confused." He does? * Woman watches and smirks, looking to see what Angel does next. * Yuri scribbles down, "He's looking at something I can't see." * Yvonne nods. * Yvonne hops up and down. "What do we do? What do we do??" * Yuri erases, then writes, "What do we do what?" She might kill him! * Yvonne waves her arms. [Red actually had a bad sandwich, uh, before Angel said she'd kill Tim. She ran off. Yeah, that's it.] We could stop it now. Would that be okay? What's Breaker doing? [They're far enough that they didn't hear it apparently.] Ve should have killed her back zen. It means the fights over and he's disqualifeid, but it'd be worth it. * Yvonne grips the flag hard. * Yuri frowns slightly, and writes, "Give it a second, and can we communicate with the other people?" * Tim wobbles and mutters "ookay, this is different," before he tries to drop one of the trees in the grove on Angel. [Angel is rather shocked when one of the trees next to her appears above her and crashes through the branches above her and crushes her.] "God Fucking DAMNIT!!" * Tim stares at the tree in shock, "Whooo, the hell? It worked... shit." * Yvonne beams. "Or he could do that! Go Tim!" * Woman blinks and frowns. "Ooops." * Mai and Victor cheer and hug each other. * Yvonne hops up and down. "Yay!" * Woman shrugs and walks away. * Victor looks over to Yvonne. "Kick ass yeah?" * Yvonne hugs Victor. "Yeah!!" * Yuri smiles slightly. * Yvonne opens the door and heads over to Tim. * Mai and Victor leave too. * Yuri eyes the snake swinging suspiciously as she leaves. * Tim tries to teleport again. * Tim then blinks as he goes nowhere. Bad... very very bad. [Angel stays down.] * Tim wobbles for a moment, vanishes, breifly reappears next to the snake and then vanishes again to land on the bridge. [Breaker and Warlow walk out from their shelter some distance away.] Wow, that was close, it's legit for me to kill the snake, right? * Tim shakes his head in an attempt to clear it, "Huh? Did I win?" Eh, well, can't have it wandering the park. Yay! ::she runs over and grabs the snake by the tail and swings it around, seeing if she can use it effectively as morning star. Yeah... that'd be bad, I think. You won. Good work. * Yvonne glides out of the gazebo and grabs Tim in a hug. "Yay, Tim! I knew you could do it! Congratulations!" I think... I'm gonna need healing... and my powers gone all wonky on me. * Mai and Victor come out as well. * Yuri follows Mai and Victor out and gives Tim a slight, silent nod. * Tim isn't in any shape to resist Yvonne and stands there looking rather dazed. * Warlow walks over to Tim and puts a hand on him. She looks surprised. "You were hexed." Hexed? Ahh... that explains the tree. * Breaker switches over to using the cobra as a pair of nunchucks, showing off. * Yvonne peers at Tim. "... Nope, he's got more than six sides." * Yuri looks at Breaker with a slightly disapproving look, yet a slightly amused grin. Uhh... I kinda need that healing thing. * Mai walks up to Tim and gets something out of her pocket and holds it out to him in a closed hand. "Sit down, medics are coming. Congratulation." * Warlow tends to Tim's wounds for a bit. * Victor walks over towards Angel. "I'll check zat she is alright." [There's medic crews coming from the distance.] * Tim attempts to sit down right where he is, even though Yvonne's still holding onto him. * Warlow bandages Tim for a bit, dealing with the bleeding. She then glances up at Victor. "Get the back here." * Victor looks sheepish, in a predatory way. "I was going to see if she was alright, really." He's not credible. * Yvonne smiles at Victor. "It's okay. From now on when we see her, we can call her a loser. A loooooooooser." * Medics show up for Angel ten seconds later. The ones for Tim are almost here. * Yuri continues to watch Breaker. Ha..... showed her. * Breaker keeps it up, and then is surprised when the Cobra spits at her. She's goes "Eek!" and brains it against a tree. * Mai kneels down by Tim and keeps holding out her hand, if he wants it now. * Yvonne grins. "You sure did!" * Medics haul Angel away. Go me? * Yuri snickers and wags her finger at Breaker. * Breaker drops the obviously dead snake and rubs at the wound. "That stung a little." * Medics get over to Tim. "Need help onto the stretcher?" Uh... that'd probibly be a good idea...yeah. [They help get Tim on the stretcher, and he completely ignores Mai.] * Angel mutters in her fevered coma: "... gonna ... die ... bastard ..." [Medics can be heard muttering to each other. "Restraints?" "Definately."] * Mai shrugs and figures he's feverish. Victor walks over. "We'll talk to him later." * Breaker seems to have dealt with the poison and walks over. "Not bad. Looked like you weren't going to pull it out." Wheeee....I won. Heheheeeheh. * Yvonne claps. [Mai and Victor look pleased.] [End!]
