[22:03] * Mongoosetiger snifs around everywhere he can get to in hopes of finding Amanda.
[22:03] <Anthony Suthers> I heard an explosion! Does anybody need help?
[22:03] <The Actuary> Yes. The floor HAS stopped shaking.
[22:03] * NTSRogue 's phone rings.
[22:03] * NTSRogue awnsers it.
[22:03] * The Actuary stands.

[22:05] <Thrash> it's Eitak isn't it
[22:05] <NTSRogue> Yes
[22:05] <NTSRogue> I'd have hung up but that would have made her more upset.
[22:05] <Mongoosetiger> I hear from here.
[22:05] <Thrash> I recongize those overly pampred tones of her
[22:05] * Anthony Suthers has an idea.
[22:05] * The Actuary just hangs up
[22:05] * Anthony Suthers pries open an elevator door, and slides down on the cable.

[22:08] * Mongoosetiger nods.
[22:08] <Suu> on second thought I'll take that ride.
[22:09] * The Actuary tucks and rolls, sheathign ehr blades for the roll and then unsheathing.
[22:09] <Mongoosetiger> Yay!

[22:10] * Suu climbs on top of MGT's back
[22:11] <The Actuary> That whole family.
[22:11] <The Actuary> Nothing but a headache.
[22:11] * Mongoosetiger races down the stairs to the lobby level.
[22:11] * Mongoosetiger is away: back to ss2.
[22:11] <The Actuary> now where the hell are they

[22:12] <Thrash> I like to think so
[22:12] * The Actuary hands him Redeemer.
[22:12] * Thrash takes the blade carefully
[22:12] <The Actuary> I like to have one hand free in these situations.
[22:12] * NTSRogue summons a pair of blue daggers
[22:12] <The Actuary> And Vindicator and I are better matched... for these types of missions.
[22:13] <Thrash> understood
[22:13] <NTSRogue> So. Who's the Target. Tony, or Amanda?
[22:13] <The Actuary> Subdue Amanda. Keep Tony from killing her.
[22:14] * The Actuary leaves the last part out, which is her own personal mission
[22:14] * Thrash nods
[22:15] <The Actuary> And end Suthers if he murders her.
[22:15] <Thrash> (( hey I'll be back guys...I need to do something...just imagine Thrash being there..if you want X..you can imply his actions or something...I'll bbs ))
[22:15] <The Actuary> (( and now i imply he and noriko have relations in a broom closet ))

[22:22] * The Actuary sniffs that sickly-sweet seductive scent...
[22:22] * The Actuary follows it

[22:22] * NTSRogue follows
[22:23] * Thrash nods and follows
[22:23] <NTSRogue> It's harldy an "All of you" when there's only two of us plus you
[22:24] <The Actuary> Oh I'm sorry.

[22:26] * The Actuary shifts Vindicator's blade into a hook, and snakes the metal forward, grasping the doorknob and pulling it
[22:27] *** The closet is filled with a sickly-sweet smell, and there is a note inside.
[22:27] * The Actuary checks the note
[22:27] * Note reads, "To whom it may concern:"
[22:28] * Somewhere DUELMAN makes the inevitable joke about suthers spraying the room with his "sticky liquid"
[22:29] <Note> I'm regret the fact that it was necessary to deceive you. You might not have found the note, but if you HAVE, then you are very far away from me now. I'm sorry. I will take responsibility. I am a man of my word. ~Anthony Suthers, 059272
[22:29] <Thrash> we've been had
[22:29] *** Meanwhile, down by the pool

[22:30] <@spiritflame> irasshai Anthony Suthers
[22:31] <Anthony Suthers> I figured you would be smart enough to go where the chlorine would dampen scents.
[22:31] <Amanda Sharlan> - You figured correctly -
[22:31] <Anthony Suthers> I want to know something.
[22:32] <Anthony Suthers> I dont' care, now, if you think yourself my daughter or not. If you are a Serial Killer, and have Fallen, and wound society, then one of us is done now.
[22:32] <Anthony Suthers> Did you do it?
[22:32] * Anthony Suthers pulls out a knife.
[22:32] * Amanda Sharlan glances at Tony for a moment before turning away
[22:32] <Amanda Sharlan> - ...Yes.... -
[22:33] * Amanda Sharlan is holding her own dagger in her hand
[22:33] <Anthony Suthers> I tried so very hard to help you. You reminded me so much of myself. Forced into killing, and considered expendable. I tried, so HARD, to give you a better life.
[22:33] * Anthony Suthers walks closer. "And I think it's very important that you know what's going to happen next."
[22:34] <Amanda Sharlan> - I have a pretty good idea... -
[22:34] * Anthony Suthers throws a packet of medicine to the ground.
[22:34] <Anthony Suthers> You are either going to surrender to me, and take those sedatives, so you can get treatment....
[22:34] <Anthony Suthers> ...Or else.
[22:35] * Amanda Sharlan looks at the medicine, seeming to contemplate
[22:36] * Amanda Sharlan picks up the medicine, staring at it
[22:36] <Anthony Suthers> Think about it. They can help you. They are powerful. They can help us both. If you die, then what was it all for?
[22:36] <Anthony Suthers> The fishing? The dresses? The food? The sleeping in peace?
[22:36] <Anthony Suthers> I did all of this so that you would not have to die in violence.
[22:36] * Amanda Sharlan chuckles lightly and throws the medicine into the pool, "How about we do this the old fashioned way?"
[22:37] <Anthony Suthers> Amanda Kakanue Sharlan, you are about to start a fight that you can't win. I have ever been alert to attacks by people in this hotel, and I've loaded my bodily payload units with nerve agent.
[22:37] <Anthony Suthers> Even if you DO stab me...
[22:37] * Anthony Suthers sighs.
[22:38] <Anthony Suthers> I TOLD you what Prometheus can do. I wish... I wish you could stay to see it.
[22:39] <Anthony Suthers> ...Do you remember when I told you I was "recording your brainwaves?" Do you remember that?
[22:39] <Anthony Suthers> I hope, that somewhere inside, you can hear me.
[22:39] * Amanda Sharlan has a wide grin on her face, her eyes still blank and unfocused, "Of course I do...."
[22:39] <Anthony Suthers> I never expected both of us to live through Prometheus, just as you did not.
[22:39] <Anthony Suthers> But I was not about to let you die, and while you were under, I took precautions to ensure that they wouldn't kill you.
[22:40] <Anthony Suthers> Amanda.... Big Brother is Watching.
[22:40] * Amanda Sharlan 's eyes narrow
[22:41] * Amanda Sharlan is now known as Amanda Suthers
[22:42] * Anthony Suthers walks over to Amanda. "Good. Good. Now come on. We have to surrender. We have to submit. I'm sorry. But I knew that this was the only way to save you... I knew it was Necessary."
[22:42] * Amanda Suthers gives a scream of rage, and leaps upon Anthony, stabbing him repeatedly!
[22:42] <Amanda Suthers> - A MONSTER! You are NO BETTER THAN ABSTERGO! -
[22:43] <Amanda Suthers> I"ll KILL YOU!
[22:43] * Amanda Suthers stabs Anthony Suthers, and a hissing sound is heard.
[22:43] <Anthony Suthers> What... what are you doing? STOP THIS!
[22:44] * Anthony Suthers desperately tries to break free, and stabs Amanda in the stomach.
[22:44] <@spiritflame> ATTENTION: Amanda Suthers is already registered. Check your password or enter a new name.
[22:44] <Amanda Suthers> I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!
[22:45] * Anthony Suthers lashes out blindly, and embeds the dagger in Amanda... and throws her off of him.

[22:57] <Thrash> no no NO
[22:57] <The Actuary> SECURE HER, ALREADY!
[22:57] * Thrash jumps into the pool
[22:57] * NTSRogue just jumps into to the water, not careing about her clothes and aims to kick tony in the face with her heels
[22:57] <NTSRogue> You're getting my dry cleaning bill. All of you...
[22:57] * The Actuary is frustrated because she can't use any of her ranging attacks without harming Amanda or the others
[22:58] * Amanda Sharlan is barely breathing, her eyes closed and her face pale

[22:59] * The Actuary holds out the hook. Thrash! Grab on
[22:59] * Anthony Suthers easily parries the attack... because of the fluid medium. Bubbles and fluid darken the pool around him.
[22:59] * Thrash grabs the hook
[22:59] * HazMat Prinnies goes flying and explodes against a wall.
[23:00] * NTSRogue scrambles to get out of the water

[23:02] <NTSRogue> .... Tony?
[23:02] * Franziska von Karma whips them right out of the way
[23:02] <NTSRogue> ...Why did he just help me out of the pool?
[23:03] <Franziska von Karma> MAKE A PATH, BEASTS
[23:03] * Smell like green apples permeates the area around the pool.
[23:03] * Amanda Sharlan is laying at the edge of the pool, soaking wet, unconscious, and her chest riddled with darts
[23:03] <The Actuary> ... Gas?
[23:03] <HazMat Prinnies> She looks like she needs a doctor dood.
[23:04] <Suu> AMANDA!!
[23:04] <The Actuary> Take her to level 12! Now!
[23:04] * The Actuary spins her blade...
[23:04] * A feeling of nubness can be felt at the tips of fingers and toes.
[23:04] <The Actuary> Wind.... of DESTRUCTION!
[23:04] * HazMat Prinnies are wearing fully isolated HazMat suits.
[23:05] * The Actuary sends otu a gale of wind to blow the gas away
[23:05] * Microwave signal is detectable briefly.
[23:05] <Thrash> there's some sort of signal...
[23:05] <The Actuary> What's he doing?!
[23:05] <HazMat Prinnies> All of you probably need a doctor dood.
[23:06] * NTSRogue cuts the air open, createing a portal to level 12.
[23:06] <HazMat Prinnies> THere is nerve gas here dood.
[23:06] <NTSRogue> EVERYONE IN NOW
[23:06] <The Actuary> I prepared earlier.
[23:06] <The Actuary> Gas wont' work on Thrash or myself.

[23:07] * The Actuary strikes her blade down on the ground
[23:07] * The Actuary sends a shockwave towards the pool, intending to rend it in twain
[23:07] * NTSRogue grabs Amanda and pulls her through the Portal.
[23:07] <The Actuary> SUTHERS!
[23:07] <The Actuary> COME OUT AND FACE ME.
[23:08] * Microwave signal stands in the middle of the deep end.
[23:08] * Microwave signal doesn't move.
[23:08] * Franziska von Karma and Suu still have the masks on
[23:08] * Microwave signal emits one last burst
[23:08] * Anthony Suthers just stands in the center of the pool, bubbles coming from him.
[23:09] <The Actuary> Probably uploading his conciousness.
[23:09] * The Actuary smirks.
[23:09] <The Actuary> Well then...
[23:09] * NTSRogue is away: To 12th floor.
[23:09] * Amanda Sharlan is away 
[23:09] * The Actuary decides what to do
[23:09] * EMH puts Amanda immediately into an ICU unit for a complete blood wash and full repairs.

[23:11] * Anthony Suthers is away 
[23:11] * Anthony Suthers stays in the middle of the pool, unmoving.
[23:11] <Suu> ...
[23:11] <Suu> did...they attack each other?
[23:11] * EMH starts with life support, then neutralizing the poison, then removing the darts.
[23:12] * The Actuary uses some strong slash attacks to carve out a block of ice with suthers in it
[23:12] <The Actuary> I need some of those idiot Prinnies to get this block out of the pool
[23:12] * The Darts are hollow, and strangely weighted.
[23:13] <HazMat Prinnies> Right dood.
[23:13] * Thrash does not look happy with any of this
[23:13] * HazMat Prinnies call in some cleaning mecha to lift the block of ice.
[23:13] <The Actuary> He shot her when I told him not to.
[23:14] <The Actuary> Multiple times.
[23:14] * EMH saves the darts and analyzes one for any toxic contents.
[23:14] <The Actuary> But it could have been the heat of the moment...
[23:14] <The Actuary> I think I'll keep him like this until we know what happened to Sharlan.
[23:15] * Thrash hands the sword back to Noriko
[23:15] * The Darts are loaded with Powerful sedative... and contain yet another hollow inside of them beyond the reservoir for the drugs.
[23:15] * The Actuary takes Redeemer.
[23:15] <Suu> ...
[23:15] <Suu> ...we'd better go, Franziska
[23:15] * The Actuary sheathes it along with Vindicator.
[23:15] <Franziska von Karma> Yes.
[23:15] * EMH checks the second hollow as well.
[23:15] <Franziska von Karma> Do you want to go to Level 12?
[23:16] * The second Hollow contains microfilm!
[23:16] * Amanda Sharlan is unresponsive to the EMH's efforts
[23:17] <Suu> ...
[23:17] * Thrash removes a box from his pocket and offers it to Noriko
[23:17] * Franziska von Karma heads off with Yotsuba Suu
[23:17] <Thrash> take this
[23:17] <The Actuary> What's this?
[23:17] <Thrash> it's a Phase Bomb
[23:17] * EMH has Aes develop the microfilm and read it, while using every ounce of the technology at his disposal to keep Amanda alive.
[23:17] *** Suu [FourLeafClover@clampgakuen.ac.jp] has left #suburbansenshi3 (Flying towards the future)
[23:18] *** Franziska von Karma [vonKarma@da.co.la.ca.us] has left #suburbansenshi3 (To become an adult in the middle of this madness.)
[23:18] <Thrash> it has a big enough charge to dephase a single location and anything within it
[23:19] * The Actuary looks over at Suthers
[23:19] * NTSRogue rejoins the others.
[23:19] <The Actuary> You mean... to deal with him?
[23:19] <NTSRogue> It's not looking good.
[23:20] <Thrash> yes
[23:20] <Thrash> if it comes down to it
[23:20] * The Actuary hand trembles
[23:21] * The Actuary pockets it, saying nothing.
[23:21] <The Actuary> Let's see how Sharlan is doing.
[23:21] * The Actuary heads to the 12th floor, making sure the pool is secured.
[23:21] * Thrash follows, hands in pockets
[23:22] <NTSRogue> I just told you.
[23:22] * EMH reads the darts a second time...
[23:22] <NTSRogue> ....
[23:22] * NTSRogue follows along
[23:22] <The Actuary> Not looking good does not equal dead.
[23:25] <Thrash> indeed
[23:26] * Amanda Sharlan begins to flatline, completely unresponsive to the EMH's efforst
[23:27] * EMH is dumping in nanite in the hopes of scaffolding the body...
[23:30] * The Actuary comes in and watches with the others
[23:30] * Thrash follows..and frowns
[23:32] * Amanda Sharlan stabilizes...
[23:32] * EMH consults something and frowns.
[23:33] * EMH looks at the folks in the room.
[23:34] <EMH> I'm afraid there is a problem.
[23:35] <EMH> Is there anyone with power of attorney for her?
[23:36] * Thrash looks to Noriko
[23:36] <The Actuary> That would probbaly be Anythony Suthers.
[23:36] <The Actuary> What's wrong.
[23:36] <EMH> I see.
[23:37] <EMH> While we have saved her body... I'm afraid it was too late to prevent brain injury.
[23:38] <The Actuary> ....
[23:38] <Thrash> what...
[23:38] <The Actuary> So she's dead.
[23:39] <The Actuary> I see.
[23:39] * The Actuary turns right around and walks out.
[23:39] <NTSRogue> ....
[23:39] * The Actuary heads for the pool, and the block of ice Suthers is encased in.
[23:39] <Thrash> what
[23:39] <EMH> There isn't enough left functioning to even keep her body operating without life support.
[23:40] * Thrash frowns deeply
[23:41] <NTSRogue> ....
[23:41] * The Actuary walks over to the block of ice, and stares into it
[23:41] * Thrash walks over and pats Amanda's hand
[23:41] * NTSRogue grips her dagger tightly, and cuts her hand on the blade
[23:41] <The Actuary> "When you stare into the abyss long enough, it stares back into you."
[23:42] * The Actuary pulls out the Phase Bomb from her pocket.
[23:42] <The Actuary> With this, I could forever cast you into the Void.
[23:42] * HazMat Prinnies are busy neutralizing the nerve agent and cleaning the pool...
[23:42] * Radio signal is emitted.
[23:42] * The Actuary walks arround the block, looking over Suthers.
[23:43] <The Actuary> Though knowing you... you're probably uploading yourself like a Cylon.
[23:43] * Anthony Suthers stares ahead.
[23:43] <NTSRogue> .....
[23:43] * Radio Signal continues.
[23:43] <NTSRogue> This is my fault...
[23:43] * Thrash stays next to Amanda
[23:43] <The Actuary> Or spouting some political rhetoric to your children.
[23:43] <The Actuary> Well.
[23:43] <The Actuary> You killed her.
[23:43] <The Actuary> Good going.
[23:44] <NTSRogue> ....
[23:44] <Block of Ice> ...
[23:44] <The Actuary> I'm not going to be like you.
[23:44] * NTSRogue just punches Noriko in the face
[23:44] * The Actuary takes the punch.
[23:45] * The Actuary STRIKES out at the ice with her claws, cleaving it, setting Tony Free.
[23:45] <NTSRogue> Empathy girl. Learn it.
[23:45] <NTSRogue> ...
[23:45] * The Actuary looks over at Rogue.
[23:45] <The Actuary> You have no goddamn idea.
[23:45] * Anthony Suthers falls to the ground, lifeless.
[23:45] <The Actuary> Suthers...
[23:46] * Anthony Suthers splays out, unresponsive.
[23:46] <The Actuary> Heh. As I thought.
[23:46] <The Actuary> Fine.
[23:46] * The Actuary gets some Prinnies.
[23:46] <The Actuary> Collect this garbage for analysis.

[23:49] <spiritflame> Anthony Suthers rolls 2d6 [ 4, 5 ]
[23:49] *** Hissing noise starts to come from Tony where he was punctured by the sword.
[23:49] <Thrash> you know....I fought Tony once...
[23:49] <Anthony Suthers> She punctured another cell!

[23:52] <spiritflame> HazMat Prinnies rolls 1d20 [ 14 ]
[23:52] <Thrash> this is all my fault that you died
[23:52] * Anthony Suthers pulls his clothes back so that the Prinnies can suture him or patch him, or ANYTHING.
[23:52] * HazMat Prinnies realize they have suits and they attempt to put Suthers in a gass-proof bag.
[23:53] <Anthony Suthers> I jumped into the water to let the chloring neutralize some of it...
[23:53] * Anthony Suthers does not resist.
[23:53] <NTSRogue> Tony. I only have one question. Why did you push me out of the pool?
[23:53] <NTSRogue> You could have easily dragged me under instead. Why out?
[23:54] * HazMat Prinnies seal the bag and rush him to an isolation chamber in the clinic on 12.
[23:54] <Thrash> I sometimes forget....how fragile you humans are
[23:54] <Anthony Suthers> Because I wanted to help you?
[23:54] <Anthony Suthers> And you didn't look like you would be able to swim with high-heels on?
[23:54] <Thrash> ....I'm so sorry, amanda...
[23:54] <Thrash> ...I'm so very sorry
[23:54] <Anthony Suthers> You were trying to do your duty, and to help the Hotel and Society. Why would I hurt you?
[23:55] * HazMat Prinnies will pick up TOny and take him, once he stops talking.
[23:55] * Amanda Sharlan is silent, her hand completely limp and lifeless in Thrash's
[23:56] <Anthony Suthers> I only jumped into the pool because I was leaking aerosols because my daughter stabbed me in her delirium. Why would I pull you under?
[23:56] * Anthony Suthers lets the Prinnies take him.
[23:56] <spiritflame> Anthony Suthers rolls 2d6 [ 3, 2 ]
[23:56] * Anthony Suthers looks down at the sword wound, with an expression of horror.

[20:38] <Joanna Smithson> I hate doors
[20:39] <SecOpsGIrl> Oh right, we needed Diogenes.
[20:39] *** There are four sleeping faces
[20:39] <MusicArtisan> That excludes me
[20:39] *** Be glad that it's not a door looking for a genuine band.
[20:39] <Mister Dinsdale> I honestly hate riddles, does that count?
[20:39] <Potamos> An honest soul, huh..
[20:39] *** No.
[20:40] <MusicArtisan> I honestly love my wife, does that count? :D
[20:40] *** No.
[20:40] <Joanna Smithson> I honestly hate doors
[20:40] <Potamos> Hmm, wonder if this means we can't tell lies...
[20:40] *** The door is unresponsive so far.
[20:40] <Mister Dinsdale> Honestly, there are no honest souls.
[20:40] <Indigo> Honesty is what it wants
[20:40] <Mister Dinsdale> If you take the buddhist approach that all life is an illusion...
[20:40] * SecOpsGIrl tries playing some Miles Davis records?
[20:41] <Indigo> Obvious fact of the day.
[20:41] <Mister Dinsdale> then Honesty itself does not exist.
[20:41] <Mister Dinsdale> Nor does the door.
[20:41] <Indigo> So if the door doesn't exist
[20:41] <Indigo> Dinsdale come here.
[20:41] <Mister Dinsdale> So if everything is equal... it must open.

[20:42] <Mister Dinsdale> Ow. Dammit. This woulda worked for that Yai-guy.
[20:42] <Indigo> So that worked pretty well.
[20:42] <MusicArtisan> That's honesty :D
[20:42] <Mister Dinsdale> Also. Matsumi? ..|..
[20:42] <Potamos> Maybe they need to see us doing something honest...

[20:43] *** An Honest Soul.
[20:43] *** There is no response.
[20:43] <MusicArtisan> hmmm
[20:43] <Mister Dinsdale> Okay. an honest soul. Door! How do you know if a soul is honest?
[20:44] <SecOpsGIrl> Do we ned feathers?
[20:45] *** The door isn't going to respond
[20:45] <SecOpsGIrl> Tickle the faces with a feather?
[20:45] * Indigo leans against the door frame
[20:45] <Indigo> Honesty honesty honesty...
[20:45] * SecOpsGIrl checks to see if the door is locked?
[20:46] *** There's no way to open the door or see if it's locked!
[20:46] * Mister Dinsdale tries the door.
[20:46] * Potamos looks at the faces
[20:46] <Joanna Smithson> well to be honest I often feel like I'm just a shadow of my sister
[20:46] <Mister Dinsdale> I guess everyone try the door in turn?
[20:46] * Joanna Smithson looks to see if the door opens
[20:46] *** one of the faces opens an eye
[20:46] <Mister Dinsdale> WHOA.
[20:46] *** it makes this face :)
[20:47] <Mister Dinsdale> Hi there :D
[20:47] <Mister Dinsdale> Four faces...
[20:47] <Potamos> Nee.
[20:47] <Potamos> To be honest...
[20:47] <Mister Dinsdale> Yeah?
[20:47] * MusicArtisan walks up to the door
[20:47] <Joanna Smithson> ...whoa...
[20:48] <Potamos> I wanted the judges to rule against Tony mitai na
[20:49] * Mister Dinsdale smiles softly "You ain't the only one, doll."
[20:49] <Potamos> hmm
[20:49] <MusicArtisan> To be honest, I deeply regret what I did in my past, and I wish to do things right this time... I don't want to send any more towns to the Abyss.
[20:49] * Potamos looks at the doors
[20:49] <Potamos> I guess...I wasn't honest enough, mitai na
[20:49] <Potamos> When Joanna-chan said what she feels, that face changed...
[20:50] <Potamos> ...
[20:50] <Mister Dinsdale> To be honest.... I'm a terrified guy trying to pick up the pieces of his life with this jobm this suit and this hat, and I'm always scared of losing you, Hiromi.
[20:50] <Joanna Smithson> well it's just that...no matter how everyone treats me.....I think I'll always feel like a clone
[20:50] *** For Jack (Abyss Jack) the :) face grows a little wider.
[20:50] * Mister Dinsdale forces himself to not pull his hat down over his eyes
[20:50] <Potamos> deeper...huh..
[20:50] <Potamos> To be honest...
[20:50] *** A second face makes a :O at Disney Dinsdale
[20:51] * Potamos thinks of a secret...
[20:51] *** The :) face turns :D
[20:51] <Mister Dinsdale> Yeah, I said it.
[20:51] * Indigo bites her lip
[20:52] <Indigo> That's two
[20:52] <Potamos> the reason why I want to help out Jack-kun is because I'm so afraid I'm going to lose him mitai na
[20:52] <Potamos> because he does dangerous work...
[20:53] * Potamos hangs her head
[20:53] *** A third face makes a :(
[20:53] <Indigo> To be honest.
[20:53] <Indigo> To be honest...
[20:53] <SecOpsGIrl> To be honest...
[20:54] <Potamos> and...I always feel like I'm so inadequate because I don't have special powers and special gadgets and such mitai na...
[20:54] <Indigo> Wow this seemed easier when I thought about it.
[20:54] *** The third face makes a D:
[20:54] * Mister Dinsdale puts a hand on Hiromi's shoulder warmly
[20:54] <Mister Dinsdale> All you need is you, Hiromi.
[20:54] <SecOpsGIrl> I'm still angry and upset over what Pop did to Ichiro.
[20:54] <Potamos> nee, why is that face sad and the others happy?
[20:54] <Potamos> does...does it want a happy secret?
[20:54] *** The faces look like so
[20:54] <Mister Dinsdale> All that extra powers and all that jazz... mean nothing without a good heart.
[20:55] *** :D :O D:
[20:55] <Mister Dinsdale> I think it's all sorts of moods.
[20:55] <Potamos> do they all have to match?
[20:55] *** the fourth face makes a >:(
[20:55] * Mister Dinsdale shrugs from his shoulders.
[20:55] <Indigo> I'm afraid I'm falling in love too fast.
[20:56] *** >:o
[20:56] <MusicArtisan> To be honest...when I first married my wife...I was fond of her, but I didn't love her.
[20:56] *** :D :o D: >:o
[20:57] <Indigo> I thought this was just a little thing but it's not.
[20:57] <Mister Dinsdale> A happy secret huh?
[20:57] <MusicArtisan> I grew to love lottie, and I realized it when I found out she was pregnant with our first child...Lacie
[20:57] <Potamos> to be honest...
[20:58] *** :D :O D: >:o
[20:58] <Joanna Smithson> and I feel that no matter what..I will just be seen as my sister...
[20:58] <Joanna Smithson> heck...everyone here probably thinks I'm Matsumi...and I just...want to be me T_T
[20:58] *** >:O
[20:58] * SecOpsGIrl hugs Joanna
[20:58] * Potamos thinks
[20:58] *** And so.
[20:59] *** Something unlocks
[20:59] * Joanna Smithson hugs yumiko back
[20:59] <Mister Dinsdale> ...
[20:59] <Potamos> ♫ deedle doodle deedle dee ♫
[20:59] <Mister Dinsdale> Wait I think something's happened.
[20:59] <MusicArtisan> I would offer you a hug miss Joanna...
[20:59] <MusicArtisan> But....I'm afraid that might make Lottie upset....
[20:59] <Potamos> (( that was the Zelda "you found something" jingle ))
[21:00] <Mister Dinsdale> (( XD ))
[21:00] *** a seam forms down the middle and you can push or pull the door open
[21:00] * MusicArtisan tries pushing the door
[21:00] *** It gives way!
[21:01] * The Lover sits on top of a television with legs crossed and hands folded in the lap
[21:01] *** Welcome to Floor 2!
[21:02] *** You are currently in a room full of TVs.
[21:02] <Mister Dinsdale> It was a cultural wasteland. Television as far as the eye could see.
[21:02] *** Most of them are giving off static, a few of them play the klingon propaganda song
[21:03] * Potamos goes up to a TV and checks to see if she can change the channel
[21:03] <SecOpsGIrl> Shades of T.S. Elliot indeed.
[21:03] <Joanna Smithson> that thng again???
[21:03] <Potamos> nee, wasn't there a scene like this in The Matrix?
[21:04] <Mister Dinsdale> Your life is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the programming of the matrix. You are the eventuality of an anomaly, which despite my sincerest efforts I have been unable to eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision. While it remains a burden to sedulously avoid it, it is not unexpected, and thus not beyond a measure of control. Which has led you, inexorably, here.
[21:04] *** You occasionally see the little cgi of the airship from the earlier broadcast flying into the hotel
[21:04] *** In the center of the room is The Lover.
[21:04] <Potamos> The Lover?
[21:05] * Mister Dinsdale looks at The Lover.
[21:05] *** The Lover is a creature that takes on the shape of someone that the viewer loves. Romantic, Parental or whoever it is that your mind desires.
hir image Song is: . It is Level 1.
[21:05] * The Lover waves.
[21:05] * Mister Dinsdale sees another Hiromi
[21:05] <MusicArtisan> G-Glen...?
[21:05] * Mister Dinsdale hits his head
[21:05] <The Lover> Really, you're looking at this a little too deeply (mitai na!)
[21:05] * Mister Dinsdale still sees two of them
[21:05] <Indigo> ...
[21:05] <Indigo> Oh f[BLEEP]k this.
[21:05] * Indigo turns on her heel
[21:05] <Indigo> What, afraid of a little imitation? ♫
[21:06] <The Lover> ^
[21:06] <The Lover> <_<
[21:06] <Potamos> Jack...?
[21:06] * Joanna Smithson sees Zept and turns red O________O
[21:06] * The Lover coughs
[21:06] <Potamos> this...some sort of doppleganger, mitai na?
[21:06] <Mister Dinsdale> It is a ventriloquist
[21:06] <Mister Dinsdale> I think... it looks like whoever we love.
[21:06] <Joanna Smithson> z..z...z...z...z...z...z..@____@
[21:06] <Indigo> I'm not dealing with copycats that are intended to f[BLEEP]k with me.
[21:07] <MusicArtisan> ><
[21:07] * MusicArtisan shakes his head
[21:07] <MusicArtisan> No!
[21:07] <MusicArtisan> No.
[21:07] * The Lover smirks and watches Indigo leave.
[21:07] *** Indigo [sadgirl@insnow.jp] has left #suburbansenshi3 (There's an angel on my shoulder but a devil in my head.)
[21:07] * SecOpsGIrl goes and gives "Idris" a rather passionate kiss!
[21:07] <MusicArtisan> Absolutely not ><
[21:07] <MusicArtisan> Glen is NOT here.
[21:07] <The Lover> She's--mmmmph!
[21:07] * Mister Dinsdale meditates in the way he learned
[21:07] * The Lover goes on and makes out with Yumiko ♡
[21:07] <Joanna Smithson> HEY! HANDS OFF HIM!!
[21:07] <MusicArtisan> HEY
[21:08] * Mister Dinsdale focuses only on the treu Hiromi
[21:08] * Joanna Smithson 's spirit energy flares and she tries to tear Yumiko away
[21:08] <MusicArtisan> GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF HIM
[21:08] * SecOpsGIrl makes out back.
[21:08] * MusicArtisan suddenly stops "Wait...That's not Glen."
[21:08] <MusicArtisan> There's no aura of the Abyss to him
[21:08] * Potamos looks at Jack and only Jack and tries to ignore the Jack clone...
[21:08] <Joanna Smithson> GET AWAY FROM MY MAN
[21:08] * Mister Dinsdale gazes in real hiromi's eyes as a focus
[21:09] * SecOpsGIrl is pulled reluctantly off...
[21:09] *** Somewhere in the world there is a disembodied green voice eating popcorn
[21:09] <MusicArtisan> Joanna! It's not him!
[21:09] <The Lover> That was nice ♡
[21:09] <The Lover> Now then.
[21:09] <Mister Dinsdale> Jack #2's right, Joanna...
[21:09] <Mister Dinsdale> Just focus...
[21:09] <SecOpsGIrl> YOu need your eyes checked, Joanna, Idris is all woman!
[21:09] <MusicArtisan> We're al being fooled
[21:09] * Joanna Smithson 's eyes are blazing blue "Zept is MY MAN"
[21:10] * Potamos gazes at Jack Dinsdaler
[21:10] <Mister Dinsdale> Oh god I'm goingt o Sailor Moon
[21:10] * The Lover steps away and knocks on the televisions. They all turn out.
[21:10] <MusicArtisan> JOANNA! IT'S NOT HIM
[21:10] <Mister Dinsdale> Just feel with your heart
[21:10] <Mister Dinsdale> You'll know it's not her
[21:10] <Mister Dinsdale> Oh god I feel filthy saying that niow
[21:11] <The Lover> While I am enjoying this, the gentleman in the fedora is correct.
[21:11] <SecOpsGIrl> Wait, what?
[21:11] <MusicArtisan> This thing that is pretending to be someone or something we love is not truly what we love.
[21:12] <Potamos> So...
[21:12] <Potamos> it doesn't mind if I do this?
[21:12] * Potamos b[BLEEP]chslaps The Lover
[21:12] <Mister Dinsdale> Ouch. I felt that.
[21:12] * The Lover is slapped.
[21:13] <Joanna Smithson> !!!!!!!!!!!!
[21:13] * The Lover rubs a cheek
[21:13] * Joanna Smithson 's energy EXPLODES "I'LL KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
[21:13] * Joanna Smithson attacks Potamos
[21:13] * Potamos shoves Joanna
[21:13] * Mister Dinsdale BLOCKS with his body
[21:13] <Potamos> LISTEN TO ME MITAI NA!
[21:13] <The Lover> I'm not intending to cause you--
[21:14] <The Lover> Oh my
[21:14] <Potamos> ♦ SHUT THE F[BLEEP]K UP AND LET US PASS MITAI NA!
[21:14] * Joanna Smithson just punched dinsdale with a spirit energy laden attack
[21:14] * Mister Dinsdale takes hits on BOTH sides
[21:14] * Mister Dinsdale ... surprisingly... takes the spirit power hit. His tie and jacket are scorched.
[21:15] <The Lover> I'm actually trying to help you but this doesn't seem to be working.
[21:15] <Mister Dinsdale> @_@
[21:15] * The Lover doesn't look particularly saddened by this fact.
[21:15] * Mister Dinsdale coughs up some smoke
[21:15] <The Lover> I'm actually here to barter.
[21:15] <Mister Dinsdale> keff
[21:15] * MusicArtisan walks up to the Lover
[21:15] * Joanna Smithson 's energy is still high but she turnes "huh?"
[21:15] <The Lover> Perhaps to give you some hints.
[21:15] <MusicArtisan> I know you're not Glen, so what do you wish.
[21:15] <SecOpsGIrl> Barter?
[21:15] <Mister Dinsdale> keff, keff... barter?
[21:15] <MusicArtisan> How do we pass through her?
[21:15] <MusicArtisan> ^here
[21:16] * Mister Dinsdale pulls off his ruined tie and drops it.
[21:16] * The Lover claps hands together and the TV's light up.
[21:16] <The Lover> I've been having some issue today because of some odd disturbances.
[21:16] <The Lover> It appears there is something trying to take over your Pre-Ooo technology
[21:16] <SecOpsGIrl> You have THe Clapper™?
[21:16] <The Lover> I do!
[21:17] <Mister Dinsdale> Pre... oooh?
[21:17] <The Lover> It's a nifty little trick ♫
[21:17] <Joanna Smithson> ..wait....you're not zept...*spirit power dies down to normal*
[21:17] <The Lover> You will learn what Ooo is in time.
[21:18] <The Lover> In order to continue you will need to use the elevator.
[21:18] <The Lover> You may have seen it in the lobby.
[21:18] <Mister Dinsdale> Wait you're with Zept? Holy cow.
[21:18] <Mister Dinsdale> I did not know this.
[21:18] * Joanna Smithson turns red "I...I..I'm not @_@..I was..just..saying"
[21:19] <The Lover> There's plenty of surprises you don't know ♡
[21:19] <The Lover> Plenty of things that my sort of illusions will expose
[21:20] <Potamos> Was that door we went through part of the elevator?
[21:20] <MusicArtisan> I can imagine but anything involving me would likely break the minds of everyone present ^^
[21:20] <The Lover> No. It's in the lobby
[21:21] <SecOpsGIrl> We have to go back to go forward?
[21:21] <The Lover> You will, but not now
[21:22] <The Lover> To get the key to the elevator I need you to do me a favor.
[21:22] <Potamos> and...what is that?
[21:22] <SecOpsGIrl> What sort of favor? I think I've already done the sexual favor part...
[21:23] * The Lover gestures to the three TVs that did not turn back on when she clapped her hands
[21:23] <The Lover> There are three chambers.
[21:24] <The Lover> You may choose to go through one and it will lead you to the other two.
[21:25] <Potamos> okay...
[21:25] <Joanna Smithson> um ok
[21:25] <The Lover> In each chamber is a sphere that holds something that you and I both need.
[21:26] <SecOpsGIrl> Oookay?
[21:26] <Mister Dinsdale> If It's a dress sphere I'm walking. Just saying.
[21:26] <The Lover> It's not. I assure you.
[21:26] * MusicArtisan thwacks the other Jack
[21:27] <Mister Dinsdale> >_^
[21:27] <SecOpsGIrl> You'd be cute in a catholic schoolgirls outfit Dinsdale...
[21:27] <The Lover> Each sphere holds a memory.
[21:27] <MusicArtisan> I agree with Yumiko
[21:27] <MusicArtisan> ^^
[21:27] <MusicArtisan> >D
[21:27] <Potamos> mooooh...
[21:28] <Mister Dinsdale> .....
[21:28] <Joanna Smithson> ok...
[21:28] <The Lover> Whether or not you view it is your decision
[21:28] <The Lover> but I need it fully intact.
[21:28] <Mister Dinsdale> Where did that even I don't know
[21:28] * Mister Dinsdale shudders "what!?"
[21:28] <Mister Dinsdale> Anyway XD
[21:28] <Mister Dinsdale> Sphere. got it.
[21:29] <The Lover> In each chamber is a different task
[21:29] <The Lover> But there is a different burden.
[21:30] <Potamos> mmmhmm.
[21:30] <SecOpsGIrl> So far, so good...
[21:30] <The Lover> You need to overcome them in three ways:
[21:30] <The Lover> Oppose, Abstain, Embrace.
[21:31] <Joanna Smithson> ....
[21:31] <The Lover> Which one applies to each, you may not know.
[21:31] <The Lover> But each action applies to a burden.
[21:32] <The Lover> Once you overcome it and the challenge you will find the sphere
[21:32] * Potamos nods.
[21:32] <The Lover> Once you have found all three there will be a door that returns to me
[21:33] <The Lover> and I will handsomely reward you.
[21:33] <Joanna Smithson> um ok
[21:34] <The Lover> You don't seem particularly interested
[21:34] <MusicArtisan> Hmmm
[21:34] <Mister Dinsdale> ...Well I do need something that will cheer up a pal of mine who's having a rough time.
[21:34] <MusicArtisan> Okay
[21:34] <MusicArtisan> Let's do it
[21:34] <Mister Dinsdale> I'm in.
[21:34] <Joanna Smithson> no I'm just...confused
[21:34] <Joanna Smithson> ....I'm in
[21:34] <MusicArtisan> I need to find a good wedding gift for my wife and a birthday gift for my daughter
[21:34] <Potamos> I'm ready...
[21:34] <SecOpsGIrl> Lets Go!
[21:35] <The Lover> Oh honey
[21:35] <MusicArtisan> Indeed
[21:35] <The Lover> you really think you're in a mall.
[21:35] <Potamos> I need something for my friend, too.
[21:35] * The Lover gets up
[21:35] <The Lover> I'll give you what you need soon enough
[21:35] <The Lover> Choose your door
[21:35] *** There is a door on the right, left, and middle
[21:35] * Joanna Smithson looks...."I'll take right"
[21:36] * Mister Dinsdale takes middle
[21:36] * Joanna Smithson walks towards the right door
[21:36] <SecOpsGIrl> Wait, don't we stay together?
[21:36] *** For my purposes guys
[21:36] <SecOpsGIrl> Choose one door and then find the other two as we progress?
[21:36] *** Please stay together ^^;
[21:37] <Potamos> Hmm.
[21:37] * Joanna Smithson pauses..then decides to take the middle one
[21:37] <Mister Dinsdale> Okay. Good point. Safety in numbers.
[21:37] * Potamos joins (her) Jack-kun at the middle
[21:37] <Joanna Smithson> let's go middle
[21:37] <The Lover> Middle it is?
[21:38] <SecOpsGIrl> Middle sounds fine.
[21:38] <Mister Dinsdale> Straight into the Hornet's Nest.
[21:38] * The Lover saunters over with a sway of those hips (oh man that must be awkward for some images) and presses one of the television on buttons
[21:38] *** The TV's all turn on and the static returns
[21:39] *** The TVs part and you are allowed to cross into the chamber
[21:39] * Potamos goes into the chamber
[21:39] * Mister Dinsdale follows Hiromi
[21:39] * SecOpsGIrl follows Dinsdale.
[21:40] * Joanna Smithson follows
[21:40] *** It's storming. Pouring rain. You are standing at a cliff.
[21:40] *** Instead of an ocean however, there are wires acting as waves.
[21:41] * Mister Dinsdale puts his hat on Hiromi's head.
[21:41] <Joanna Smithson> gah what the...
[21:41] <Potamos> Huh, what's with that water, mitai na...
[21:41] <SecOpsGIrl> okay...
[21:41] *** Across this wire ocean is a castle and the only way to cross is a rickety bridge
[21:41] *** It does not look too safe
[21:41] * Mister Dinsdale 's Spike Fro poofs out then flattens into wet matted hair
[21:41] <SecOpsGIrl> Are those wires live?
[21:42] *** It's uncertain?
[21:42] <Mister Dinsdale> LEt's not find out.
[21:42] <Joanna Smithson> .......
[21:42] * Mister Dinsdale heads towards the bridge
[21:42] <SecOpsGIrl> Umm, Jack?
[21:42] <Mister Dinsdale> Yeah?
[21:42] <SecOpsGIrl> Are you wearing THE trenchcoat?
[21:42] <The Lover> /setorder Mister Dinsdale|Potamos|SecOpsGIrl|Joanna Smithson|MusicArtisan

[21:43] * Mister Dinsdale dons some peril sensitive shades and is motherf[BLEEP]king Neo Dinsdale
[21:43] <Mister Dinsdale> ...........
[21:43] * Potamos takes a bullet out of her gun and throws it at the water
[21:43] <Mister Dinsdale> fff.
[21:43] * Mister Dinsdale srops his trenchcoat
[21:44] * it clatters to the ground, a nigh immovable object ot mere mortals
[21:44] *** pretty much that^
[21:44] <@Diamond Dice Darkness> The current battle order is: Mister Dinsdale, SecOpsGIrl, MusicArtisan , Joanna Smithson, Potamos
[21:44] <Joanna Smithson> O_O
[21:44] <SecOpsGIrl> Just thought I'd mention it before we tried to cross a rickety bridge. :D
[21:44] * @spiritflame really had to fix that
[21:44] <MusicArtisan> Ahhh hell >>
[21:45] * @spiritflame is away: :/
[21:45] * Mister Dinsdale now feels 10 times stronger but is no longer badass looking
[21:45] * Mister Dinsdale loses the sunglasses
[21:45] *** The bullet is consumed by the wires when you're not looking oh snap
[21:45] * Mister Dinsdale is just normal dinsdale again
[21:46] <Potamos> well, we've got to go across that bridge, don't we...
[21:46] *** Are you prepared to cross?
[21:46] <Potamos> I'm ready if you are, mitai na...
[21:46] <MusicArtisan> Let's go
[21:46] <Mister Dinsdale> Yup.
[21:46] * Mister Dinsdale heads on out first
[21:46] <spiritflame> SecOpsGIrl rolls 1d20 [ 3 ]
[21:46] <Joanna Smithson> ...sure...
[21:47] * SecOpsGIrl follows Dinsdale.
[21:47] <Mister Dinsdale> Hiromi... if I fall to my death... the bridge isn't safe.
[21:47] *** The rain pelts down
[21:48] * MusicArtisan stubbornly sets off across
[21:48] * Joanna Smithson follows after Yumiko.....
[21:48] * Mister Dinsdale keeps going
[21:48] <spiritflame> The Lover rolls 1d5 [ 3 ]
[21:48] <Potamos> ...
[21:48] * Potamos swallows
[21:48] <spiritflame> The Lover rolls 1d20 [ 5 ]
[21:49] * Potamos mounts the bridge
[21:49] *** A board snaps beneath AbyssJack's feet.
[21:49] <MusicArtisan> EEp
[21:50] *** Jack roll 1d20
[21:50] <spiritflame> MusicArtisan rolls 1d20 [ 2 ]
[21:51] *** Jack falls into the wire ocean...and into the Abyss.
[21:51] <MusicArtisan> AH F[BLEEP]K
[21:51] <MusicArtisan> Lottie's gonna be pissed
[21:51] * MusicArtisan suddenly realizes where he is
[21:51] *** HOWEVER
[21:51] *** To everyone else Jack hasn't moved!

[22:31] <SecOpsGIrl> If this is my fate, I can accept it and adapt to it.
[22:31] *** You are very wise.
[22:32] *** The claw lets go of the sphere.

[00:09] <Pink Lion> You're....but you're okay....everything's alright now?

[00:10] * Pink Lion looks over at Glen before starting back at Jack

[00:10] * Pink Lion slowly rises to meet his lips in a soft kiss, "But you're okay....and he's okay....we'll take you to the clinic."
[00:11] <MusicArtisan> and worked hard...to pull me back...
[00:11] * MusicArtisan returns the kiss
[00:11] <MusicArtisan> Why...not Lacie? These are but small scrapes...
[00:12] <MusicArtisan> Is Lacie asleep?
[00:12] * Pink Lion nods, "She's been asleep for a couple of hours."
[00:12] <Pink Lion> I didn't want to wake her.
[00:13] * Pink Lion wipes away her tears before pulling Jack's hand to the soft swell of her stomach
[00:14] <Pink Lion> Let's take a bath before bed....I'll help you clean up and then we can rest.
[00:17] * MusicArtisan nods
[00:17] <MusicArtisan> We can go to the clinic in the morning
[00:17] <Pink Lion> Yes....
[00:17] * MusicArtisan suddenly hugs Lottie tightly, trying to hide his tears
[00:17] * Pink Lion slowly pulls Jack to the bathroom, intending on a long, relaxing bath
[00:18] <MusicArtisan> I was so delirious...
[00:18] * Pink Lion blinks as she's hugged
[00:18] <Pink Lion> Jack....it's okay....
[00:18] <MusicArtisan> I forgot....about you...and our baby...but Glen pulled me back....
[00:18] * Pink Lion returns the hug, clinging tightly to his shirt
[00:18] <MusicArtisan> I don't ever want to feel that way again... I always want to know you love me
[00:19] <MusicArtisan> I love you...
