[Upstairs is Saki on the rack, the middle aged guy with the artificial leg and cyro assault rifle, the college aged girl, and Miranda.] * Jason gets right to the doorway, where the motes seem to melt into each other, and then Jason's standing there, cigarette, shades, and all. "Hey," he says with a grin. * Saki is there, too. She doesn't look happy. Or in a particularly good condition. She may look a bit longer, too. Right on time. ::she doesn't initially attack:: The middle aged guy moves to fire but we'll get to that next turn. [Oddly the college aged girl seems to have known you were going to do that and opens up right where you materialize.] [Jason lets the bullets fly through him. I forgot to give the penalty on that one, but didn't matter anyways.] * Jason does do that, yes, the bullets leaving flaming trails before they go into the wall behind him. "Ouch." [Next round!] (Can I get a fire going, incinerating the flowers and eating through Saki's chains, by any chance?) (THat's probably just a round or two. Feel free to have Saki start straining against her chains.) (Hmm.... * Saki does just that. "Glad you could make the party." (Okay, she's got one flower at each ankle and each arm, describe exactly how you want to do this and I'll give the accuracy penalties.) (There's a very real chance of harming Saki as you do it, and chains will take a bit to burn and probably cause Saki pain before they break. (Take out the flowers first, then creep forward and remove the edges of the chains.) (+2 per flower to not hurt Saki.) (Way to go, dice.) (If that's a soul roll, I made two. Freaking dice.) (We'll say soul.) (I don't know what else it would be. :P) * Jason 's eyes flare up a little, and tiny fires start on each corner of Saki's wrack. He looks at Miranda. "So, what's up?" [Two of the flowers start burning to no ill effect. Another one of the stems catches fire and burns through, causing the stem above it to contract, pushing thorns int Saki's skin. 2 drain on all stats. The final fire just burns Saki for 7 HP] * Saki grits her teeth. (Two drain on all stats. I feel like I critfailed! ... Eh, I'll take it.) ( You're telling me. I'm at like -5 to body now >.> ) (This makes me wish I got something useful instead of spending 2 CP on a special ability that I tried to use once and got shot in the head for.) (Two of the flowers are out.) (Groovy. Can that fire go on to take out the chain, and do I need to make another roll to burn up the other two?) (Sure, you can take a straight roll for three chains. Or go for four, but not get a chance to go for the fourth flower next turn.] (Go for four.) (Three of them. Good lord, dice.) [Saki takes another 7, one of the chains weakens substantially though. On the third chain, no damage, but no damage to Saki either.] * Saki bears it as best she can. (She's had a lot of practice not screaming.) ( Eh, it's not like she's being nuked ^^ ) [Jason is successfully targeted with the hand grenade. He's also potentially shot up by three shots from the assault rifle. Feel free to decide which to dodge first. +4 from spreading and autofire on the machine gun.] (Grenade first, and I assume I can't swarm that, then swarm defense the machine gun fire.) (Make first and miss second.) (margin?) (Christ, something incredibly big.) (Make by one and miss by, uh...) (Seven.) [Saki breaks free the chain that Jason broke and by luck, it happens to be one of the hand chains, so she can reach for one of her guns.] * Saki does just that, clawing for her gun and firing at one of the other chains.] ( - bracket ) [Jason dodges out of the way of the grenade, which messes up a display something awful. When he dodges the machine gun though he feels his powers fail from under him, completely vanishing for a moment...] [Costing him 49 HP total.] ( Ouch <.< ) [A moment later his powers return.] (Ouch like the ouch.) [What chain is Saki shooting for other arm or leg?] ( Other arm. And if she makes it, can she grab her other guy and try again? XD ) (Nope. :P) * Jason manages to dive out of the way just to get shot up by a spray of bullets. He staggers back under the assault and into the wall, and once he's there, he coughs up a mouthful of blood. "Fuck. You go through all the trouble to fucking kill me?" ( ;_; ) (the -> this) [Saki shoots off the other chain.] ( Woo! Freebie! ) * Miranda then smirks. "Powers aren't what they used to be?" * Jason props himself against the wall with a grimace. "Call off the goons. What do you want?" Simple enough, agree to. [Awareness check, both of you.] (I miss all mind rolls!) (Saki? You at dinner now?) (And it's the next round.) (and that should be "agree to..." (If he's at dinner, I'll wait.) (Right, he's got hands free on Saki now, so no real choice) Oh, we've got the scrubs handled at this point. We should probably go to proper init next round. Everybody remind me what your rolls were. (Wrong channel?) (Oops) (Note to self, fix that) ( Back ) (Woot!) (Saki, give me an awareness roll ) ( Missed ) (Okay, let me know how you're reacting to these events.) ( By continuing to free myself :P ) (Shoot the last two chains and get the hell off that stupid wrack!) * Saki draws both her guns and shoots at her remaining chains. [The fortuneteller raises her gun into the air and opens full autofire on one of the sprinklers. Since she didn't critfail, she triggers the system.] [No alarms go off but water sprays everywhere, give me immediate reactions to that.] * Jason gets wet. He's cleaner now. ( Am I free? ) * Jason is still leaning against the wall and waiting for Miranda to finish. (Not yet.) * Saki continues freeing herself, then. [Suddenly Miranda doubles over in pain. "You bitch..."] [Jason also finds the water strangely burny. 0 damage from water, 40 damage from holy.]
