Start of #Exalted buffer: Thu Sep 28 19:23:47 2006 [17:02:12] * Since it's a gap of seconds between this session and the last, let's just start where we left off, with the group emerging out of the administrative building [17:02:40] Alright.. I'm... yeah, I need to see the nurse. [17:02:58] You guys take care okay? [17:03:10] What will you tel lher? [17:03:13] * Matt_Wright hobbles off toward the nurses office. [17:03:24] Acrobatics in the city. Didn't end well. [17:04:17] * Hisame nods, and starts moving with Karen. [17:04:43] Alright, keep the shield up and let's get outside. [17:05:33] * Hisame nods. [17:08:04] * Karen_C makes for the nearest exit, trying to hold Maia up [17:08:28] * Maya doesn't seem entirely well, but she walks slowly under her own powe [17:08:31] * Power. [17:08:41] (...Does anyone remember the time of day you guys were doing this?) [17:09:16] ( I don't think it was ever stated. I assumed it was after classes. Lemme check logst o make sure [17:10:01] ( NEvermind, looks like it's evening. We had classes, tehn talked to a bunch of people ) [17:11:17] ( And Matt's in his track uniform ) [17:13:40] * You get outside. The stars are out, and the campus is illumiated by a series of lightposts and halogen lights mounted on the sides of the buildings [17:14:29] * Hisame glances around nervously a few times, even though they can't be seen. [17:15:30] * Karen_C looks at Maya. "You okay to get away from here?" [17:17:55] * Maya looks up. "Nnh. I can walk. Don't know where I'll walk to. Sure as fuck not back to Japan." [17:18:41] How were you expecting to get back with Hisame? [17:21:47] * "I don't fuckin' know. Probably get a plane or something. I wasn't expecting all this. Not expecting to get my head cracked open then get locked in some fuckin' flooded basement." [17:23:40] * Dicething hands over a backup note for the kyubi to Maya and doesn't really say a word. "Please be safe and take care of yourself." [17:25:40] * Karen_C stares at Maya, rather shocked at her change in demeanour. "I...look, I didn't want this. Any of this. I was just trying to defend Hisame and I guess I went too far...I don't really know my own strength. I didn't know these people were crazy torturers." She looks away. [17:26:28] * Maya unfolds the note and reads it. "I'm not going back there. That's a fuckin' awesome way to go back there. 'Hey, Kyubi I totally didn't kidnap the girl but I was caught and told them all about you and I broke my skull but look she gave me a note and oh my why are you shrinking me to the size of an egg and eating me whole?' Yeah, that'll go over real fuckin' well." [17:28:18] Can they really do that? [17:28:59] * She shrugs. [17:30:58] If you cannot go back there, please at least mail it to them. It has my telephone number and e-mail and address so that they may speak with me when they wish. [17:32:00] * Karen_C eyes Hisame. "Do you really want that? I mean, I guess they know where you are, but..." [17:32:46] It will make it easier to talk. [17:33:28] ( Though it'll mean every single kitsune who sees that has a fun target for prank calls and other trickster nonsense. "Hey Hisame! Is your refridgerator running?" ) [17:34:09] * Karen_C glances at Maya, then looks back at Hisame. "Do you really think they want to just _talk_? This Kyubi sounds like it means business." [17:34:52] Well, they wanted to bring me back to talk to them... ? [17:35:01] * Hisame doesn't seem so sure what's going on here [17:35:21] By force. [17:36:02] And Maya seems to think they'll do terrible things to her if she goes back empty handed. Doesn't that concern you? At all? [17:36:08] * Hisame fidgets. [17:38:56] It does... but I am not sure what can be done. [17:39:51] * Karen_C sighs. "Well, it's your decision. I'm not Japanese, or a mystical fox for that matter, so I can't really comment." [17:42:02] Will you be fine moving on from here by yourself? [17:43:51] * She shrugs. "It kind of hurts to walk, but you kids did good. I don't know if I'd want to have you guys walk me to the airport. Or a hotel or anything." [17:44:01] * Hisame nods. [17:46:27] If you want, we'll go with you, but... [17:48:03] * "That's great of you to offer. Mind you, I don't have cab fare or anything on me. And we need some paper if I'm going to fake up some tickets." [17:49:01] * Hisame fishes around her pockets and hands over some paper. [17:50:08] * Maya pockets it, and begins staggering to the street. [17:50:12] * Karen_C checks her wallet. "How much d'you think you need?" [17:51:13] * "Probably, like- Actually, maybe just some more paper." [17:52:48] (*snicker* "Saying that you're going to make the web a place for comics is like suggesting that you plan to colonize the Earth." ) [17:53:20] ( hahaaha. Penny ARcade on that one stupid comic service? ) [17:53:50] (correct) [17:54:56] * She turns back. "Oh, she has more people watching. If you want to make up for all this, it'd be great if you just don't tell anyone about this, okay? I think it's time for me to disappear." [17:55:17] Okay... be safe. [17:58:59] Believe me, I'll be keeping quiet. [17:59:01] Good luck. [17:59:43] * Matt_Wright (Novaseaker@c-71-228-129-185.hsd1.ga.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout) [17:59:55] * Maya nods. "Yeah. Watch your back, kids." She pauses for a second, and takes on the appearance of a businesswoman. She walks down the street, her arm out to hail a cab. "Goodbye, kids." [17:59:59] ( OH SHIT. HINA ICHIGO HAS BEEN KILLED DA WA. ( [18:00:02] * Matt_Wright (Novaseaker@c-71-228-129-185.hsd1.ga.comcast.net) has joined #Exalted [18:00:14] ("Good Luck" was the last thing I saw) [18:00:15] * Hisame nods. [18:00:23] ( [17:59:55] * Maya nods. "Yeah. Watch your back, kids." She pauses for a second, and takes on the appearance of a businesswoman. She walks down the street, her arm out to hail a cab. "Goodbye, kids." [18:00:24] [17:59:59] ( OH SHIT. HINA ICHIGO HAS BEEN KILLED DA WA. ( [18:00:58] Let us go check on Matt now... [18:01:52] * Karen_C nods. "Time to face the music...well, hopefully not, but I've got a bad feeling." [18:03:00] Did you get a clear look at him when he changed? [18:05:36] It was pretty brief, and I didn't know what I was seeing, really... [18:06:14] * Hisame nods. [18:06:19] I was hoping you might know what he is... [18:06:26] I did not recognize it myself. [18:08:33] * Hisame starts moving back. [18:10:06] * You find Matt in the dorms! [18:10:20] Ah... hello. How are you feeling? [18:11:48] Hey.. [18:11:59] Alright. Nurse said it was nothing to serious. [18:12:10] too* [18:12:21] * Hisame nods. [18:12:50] Just said to go easy on the acrobatics for a while. I'll have to miss track for the next few days too. [18:13:48] What about... hm. Where should we go to talk this time? My room or Karen's room or yours again? [18:15:46] (I kinda assumed we were in my room.) [18:15:55] ( Ah, whoops. ) [18:16:00] Here's fine. [18:16:04] * Hisame nods. [18:16:13] ( Is Vincent around? ) [18:16:58] * Hisame throws up a silence field if he is. "What about when the thing attacked you? Was it the same as last time? [18:17:14] (It's hard to say. His bed has a curtain.) [18:17:38] Sorta.. [18:17:47] Sorta? [18:20:01] Well.. last time, I just ran... [18:20:21] This time though... I wanted to tear that thing apart... [18:21:43] * Hisame looks worried. [18:22:24] It was kind of freaky. Still, glad you're okay. It was enough that Maya got hurt. [18:22:29] I was completely in control, it's not like I lost it. [18:22:38] * Hisame nods [18:22:52] I wouldn't have hurt you guys or anything... don't.. don't be scared of me.. [18:23:19] I am not. I am only worried how you are taking another change. [18:23:38] I'm still me when I change... [18:24:13] My.. my mom didn't really believe me. [18:24:48] I'm like Peter, you know? He's this giant scary fucking beast, but he's in control. [18:24:53] * Hisame nods. [18:25:32] Just cause what I am isn't as obvious as Peter.. yeah.. I'm no different from Peter. [18:27:22] We do not yet know what you are, though... [18:27:40] I know.. [18:27:48] I've been trying to find out. [18:28:11] What have you found so far? [18:28:22] A bunch of other stuff that has nothing to do with me. [18:28:28] I'm still looking into it. [18:28:38] * Vincent, wearing a tophat, a coat with tails, noseplugs, and a pair of boxers crawls out of his bed, clearly not entirely awake. He half-waves, pulls on a pair of pants, then looks again. It looks like he's trying to shout at you. [18:29:41] * Hisame blinks, then drops the field briefly [18:29:51] What's up? [18:33:47] * He shrugs. "I wasn't actually saying anything. I was kind of-" He makes shouty mouth gestures. "But it's cool that you're bringing girls in. Keep up the good work, chienne." He claps Matt on the shoulder then heads out [18:34:04] ( Hahaha ) [18:34:45] ... [18:34:50] * Matt_Wright shakes his head. [18:35:12] Is it sad that that's probably the most normal thing he's ever said to me? [18:35:29] What the hell is a chienne anyway? [18:35:38] * Matt_Wright flops down on his bed and sighs. [18:35:49] * Karen_C looks confused at Vince. [18:36:41] * Karen_C turns to Matt. "You really want to know?" [18:36:44] (I like how, after, like, two weeks of this, Matt hasn't decided to use Babelfish) [18:36:53] ( Haha. ) [18:36:54] ...YOu know what it means? [18:37:21] (It's sorta the least of his worries. :P He's too busy reading up on light cores and crown chakras whenever he's online.) [18:38:19] * Karen_C shrugs. "I looked it up." [18:38:51] ...What is it? [18:41:04] He's basically calling you 'bitch'. [18:41:37] * Hisame gasps. :O [18:42:41] * Karen_C looks uncomfrtable actually saying it. [18:43:02] * Matt_Wright just laughs. [18:43:14] Figures. [18:45:04] I wonder why he does not like you... [18:47:06] ( Maybe it's because of the way he talks. ) [18:47:12] I think it's more acurate to say he doesn't care about me. Like, in the slightest. [18:47:16] ( Not everyone appreciates Dactylic Hexameter ) [18:47:59] I'm pretty sure I could be bleeding at his feet, begging for help, and he'd just say "Watch the shoes, chienne." [18:51:45] * Hisame frowns. [18:52:01] How would you describe the change? [18:52:27] ...It's like.. [18:52:38] Do you swim, Hisame? [18:52:54] * Hisame shakes her head. [18:53:02] Oh. [18:53:04] Er.. [18:53:21] * Matt_Wright looks rather lost, having fully expected her to say yes. [18:53:42] ...being born, I guess. [18:53:49] Well.... a few times swimming, but not regularly [18:55:47] (Matt's other supernatural power is remembering exactly what being born was like. It explains a lot about him. :V) [18:56:12] (It was the only other metaphor I could think of.) [18:56:31] Just try to describe the swimming part... [18:57:15] ...Alright, well, when you did swim, you would go underwater and hold your breath right? [18:57:35] * Hisame nods [18:57:49] Imagine holding your breath and staying underwater until your lungs started to burn. And you were at the bottom of the pool.. and something was holding you there. [18:58:02] And you fight for the surface, clawing for it.. [18:58:32] And suddenly that thing that's holding you back stops, and you rocket upward, and you break the surface and suck in all the air you can.. [18:58:38] It's like that. [18:59:00] Ah... [18:59:06] I can imagine that, I suppose. [18:59:55] ( hahaha, what the hell http://bin.4chan.org/a/src/1159492175439.png ) [19:00:11] I can change too, but it is more like being wrapped in a warm blanket. [19:01:17] Ah.. [19:04:32] That sounds.. alot more pleasant. [19:10:56] Is Vincent around you a lot, or is he usually out? [19:11:13] (Cha?) [19:12:38] * Karen_C seems uncomfortable at the topic of conversation. "They didn't...say anything that would suggest they know what happened, did they?" [19:12:43] (Vincent spends a lot of time out, and he tends to get in and leave when you're asleep) [19:13:40] They? [19:17:25] The nurse? [19:17:41] Or anyone you might've seen. [19:17:58] Well she was kinda suspicious of why I was wet, but I think I convinced her when I said I fell into a storm drain. [19:18:44] * Karen_C runs a hand through her hair. "I just...well, I half expected Walter to be waiting for us when we got back. Or even to get caught while seeing Maya off." [19:19:05] ...honestly? I don't think we got away with it. [19:19:39] I don't think the nurse knew or anything.. [19:19:55] But this Headmaster guy.. The RAs say he knows everything. [19:23:04] (I sort of think that's a good place to call it for the night) [19:23:21] ( Alright. ) [19:23:26] (okay) End of #Exalted buffer Thu Sep 28 19:23:47 2006
