Session Start: Mon Aug 27 19:25:07 2007 Session Ident: #VCB [19:45:37] * Our Trio has checked in to the city, and the first thing they set out to do, was get really high. [19:46:08] * The comedown was pretty smooth, and the helicopter trip back to the airport was loud, but quick. [19:46:58] * After the equipment returns, forms, and everything else, there's a pixie, an android, and a teenager, standing in front of an airport. [19:47:10] * What are they up to next? [19:47:13] * Start. 06[19:47:18] * Navi is going to Disneyworld! [19:47:27] (No, not really) 01[19:47:41] That was interesting... [19:48:00] Wheeeee! 06[19:48:55] * Noah was laughing as they climbed out of the helicopter, but grew quiet when they got a bit of a distance away. "Hey, did either of you guys notice while we were jumping? There was a guy on the wall, kinda hazy looking. I think he was photographing us. Think we'll be in an ad for this place? [19:48:57] " [19:49:16] Are you sure that was a camera? 01[19:49:25] Really? [19:50:11] I didn't get a good look at it, that's why I'm asking! 01[19:51:13] I didn't really notice... [19:51:40] Well, no, but what else might he be pointing at us? I think he was pointing it at us, anyway... he was fuzzy against the walls, though. Like lots of stuff here. 06[19:52:23] * Navi nods. "That's what I got too. I couldn't make out what he was pointing." [19:52:29] But he was pointing at us. [19:52:55] I hope he didn't see me. You'd be amazed at what people would do with a picture of me on the 'net. [19:53:55] Call it a photoshop, and demand a shoe on your head or it's a fake? [19:54:10] Well, yes. 01[19:55:07] .. show? 01[19:55:10] ( er, shoe) [19:55:39] A shoe on the head is used to prove that the person is what they say they are, and not just a picture off the 'net at random. [19:55:50] Yeah. So, what next? 01[19:56:04] Fascinating. 06[19:56:21] * Navi pokes at Noah's chest, having snuck into his shirt. "You're the human, you decide!" 01[19:56:35] Whatever you like. I'm still getting used to Autonomy. 06[19:58:08] * Noah squirms a bit at that, but doesn't blush too much. "Well, then, how about we try some laser tag? I hear they've got a great VR associated with theirs, here. And I betcha Navi can even hack into the VR to be a player. Can't you?" 06[20:01:29] * Navi pffts. "Duh." [20:01:48] Great! Then let's go! [20:01:51] Of course, if you'd like t- okay! 01[20:02:13] VR? Hm... sure. 01[20:02:32] I'm not familiar with laser tag. How does it work? 06[20:03:26] * Noah takes off at a jog, pulling Tetsuko by the hand behind him and grinning boyishly. His head turns a bit, not nearly as subtly as he thinks, as they pass various gambling halls and places that advertise themselves with attractive - and especially attractive, scantilly clad - women. [20:04:02] It's fun! You have a gun that's really just a pointer; you point it at the enemy team and at targets, and if your light beam hits them, you score points and maybe knock the enemy players out of the game. 01[20:04:57] Knock the enemy players out. 01[20:04:58] Understood. 01[20:05:21] ... that's a bit harsh for a game though, isn't it? [20:05:33] Nah, nobody gets hurt. [20:06:23] It's all simulation! [20:06:34] * The Laser Parlor presents itself shortly; a three-story building in black with red neon lights identifying itself. [20:06:37] And stimulation for moving around. They say you shouldn't run and jump, but nobody ever listens. 06[20:06:55] * Tetsuko nods [20:06:58] I know I won't. *grins devilishly adorably* 03[20:07:45] * NPC1 (HeWhoHunts@68-118-61-214.dhcp.csby.or.charter.com) has joined #VCB [20:10:33] * The doors slide open; there's an unmanned desk with a simple login screen. 06[20:10:59] * Navi yawns. [20:11:27] * There's two comfortable looking benches; on one side, there's a group of 3, who look like they're waiting. 06[20:12:13] * Noah heads on in, and fiddles with the login screen, entering himself, and, if needs be, the other two. He also makes sure Navi has time to do anything she needs to; he doesn't know how her mojo works. [20:12:42] * That group consists of one young-looking guy in a leather jacket, a housemaker-looking woman in a pink office suit, and what looks to be her son, probably 11 or 12. [20:13:23] * Once logged in, the screen displays basic instructions, and to pick up a vest and a weapon of choice in the next room. [20:13:51] * And, conveniently, the light above the doors to the next room turns green, and they slide open. 06[20:14:03] * Noah offers the opposing team a friendly grin. "Good luck, guys. Ready, Tetsuko?" 03[20:14:08] * NPC1 is now known as Guy 06[20:14:35] * Navi giggles and hacks the system momentarily to find out what she can. [20:14:43] Well, about time. I'm gonna kick your guys asses, ya know. 01[20:15:00] Ready! [20:15:20] Only if we don't kick yours, first! 06[20:15:36] * Noah winks at the kid encouragingly, and then gestures for Tetsuko to precede him. "Ladies first." [20:16:24] * The next room has vests, and a selection of weapons; there's mock-uzis, what looks like a rocket launcher, pistols, and rifles. 06[20:16:56] * Navi giggles and melds into whatever equipment Noah takes. 06[20:17:04] * Tetsuko steps in and looks over it carefully 06[20:17:37] * Tetsuko turns to Noah. "What is the terrain like?" 06[20:17:58] * Navi whispers to Tetsuko and Noah with a nearly audible grin. ~The traps are on, so be careful.~ 02[20:19:46] * Guy (HeWhoHunts@68-118-61-214.dhcp.csby.or.charter.com) Quit (Quit: ) 03[20:19:53] * HeWhoHuntsCats (HeWhoHunts@68-118-61-214.dhcp.csby.or.charter.com) has joined #VCB 03[20:19:53] * ChanServ sets mode: +o HeWhoHuntsCats 03[20:20:08] * HeWhoHuntsCats is now known as NPC1 03[20:20:13] * NPC2 (HeWhoHunts@68-118-61-214.dhcp.csby.or.charter.com) has joined #VCB 06[20:20:16] * Tetsuko thinks it over, and takes a pistol. 06[20:21:04] * Noah nods to Navi's advice, and decides he likes the rocket launcher weapon. He checks the rules (which he hopes are conveniently posted on a wall) to see if he can take more than one weapon as he puts on the vest. 06[20:22:56] * Noah grins. "This is gonna be great," he says as he takes the launcher and moves to ready for the assault. [20:25:45] Alright, we're gonna beat 'em, 'cause we're just that awesome. And that one guy's a jerk. Let's try to give the kid and his mom a good game, though. 03[20:26:37] * NPC1 is now known as Guy 03[20:26:41] * NPC2 is now known as Woman 03[20:27:01] * Kid (HeWhoHunts@68-118-61-214.dhcp.csby.or.charter.com) has joined #VCB 06[20:27:34] * Tetsuko readies herself. She looks... focused. [20:30:07] * The next door opens, now that everyones ready. The kid selected an Uzi, as did the mom, and the punk in the leather jacket picked one of the rifles. 02[20:31:16] * Navi (zegond@c-67-173-148-8.hsd1.il.comcast.net) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) 03[20:31:26] * Zegon (zegond@c-67-173-148-8.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined #VCB 03[20:31:35] * Zegon is now known as Navi [20:37:24] * The buzzer rings! And people start running; it'll be a round before weapons are unlocked. 06[20:37:48] * Guy takes off for the 2nd floor! 06[20:38:37] * Tetsuko searches for a place with some cover but a good view 06[20:38:57] * Navi giggles. "Anyone on the 3rd floor is so screwed..." 06[20:39:52] * Noah heeds Navi's advice, and heads for the 2nd floor, looking for something to climb on for a good vantage. 06[20:40:13] * Tetsuko follows 06[20:41:10] * Noah takes a running leap at the wall behind one of the pillars, trying to bounce-jump up it in a highly acrobatic fashion to either get to the top or wedge himself up there where he'll be hard to see but can fire at most of the field. 06[20:41:12] * Kid leads the way for his little group, his mother trailing behind, they head somewhere on the first floor. 06[20:45:30] * Guy takes a shot at Noah as he comes up the stairs, having beat him up them - and being ready for Noah coming up. 06[20:45:55] * Noah stumbles to a halt as his lights blink. "Aw, man!" [20:46:13] That sucks! Not even 10 seconds in. *sigh* [20:46:24] Don't worry, you'll get him. *nudgewink* 06[20:46:52] * Noah heads for wherever "out" players are to go. He mutters, "Can't; I'm out." 06[20:50:30] * Tetsuko takes aim at the guy who came out of cover to shoot NOah. She raises the pistol and squeezes the trigger in one smooth motion 06[20:52:36] * Guy tries to jump back and get out of the way, and only succeeds in getting shot in the back. His vest flashes. [20:52:52] * ... just as Noah's stops. 01[20:52:56] Target eliminated. 06[20:53:17] * Noah brightens up a bit at that. "Good job! Go get the others. You up for a rematch, guy, after my team finishes winning?" 06[20:53:21] * Noah continues to the "out" area. [20:53:29] Hell yeah. 06[20:53:53] * Navi giggles. "Seeeeerved." 06[20:55:14] * Noah goes with the guy, to wait for this game to end. "I'm Noah, by the way. I can't believe I let you get me that fast." [20:56:27] Ven. [20:56:45] And maybe it's just because you suck. *said with a friendly grin* [20:57:37] Ah, that's why you got taken out by a girl? *returned grin* 06[20:57:51] * Tetsuko looks for another... 06[21:01:34] * Tetsuko heads for the first floor carefully [21:03:45] * She doesn't get shot at, either. They must not have noticed her. 06[21:04:44] * Navi bumps Noah. Hard. 06[21:05:08] * Kid leads the mom past Tetsuko, heading for the stairs. It's hard to see them clearly through all the beads, but it works both ways, and it seems like he got lost, becuase he says "Hey!" when he finds the stairs. 06[21:05:24] * Noah stumbles a bit, before catching himself, and looking around for what knocked into him. 06[21:08:38] * Tetsuko looks for a target. [21:09:02] There's nothing wrong with getting taken out by a girl. D:< [21:09:19] Hey, had to jibe him back -somehow-. 06[21:10:46] * Tetsuko finds targets. She aims at the kid and fires. 06[21:12:32] * Kid dodges like a ninja, somehow dropping back, and warning his mom before the shot's fired. 06[21:14:17] * Woman takes a shot at Tetsuko! 06[21:14:35] * Kid does, too, after taking a moment to recover from moving! 06[21:15:30] * Tetsuko simply leaps vertically over both shots. She hangs briefly in the air... [21:16:12] And I had to jibe you back too. [21:16:42] yeah, but who thought a cute little thing like you packed -that- much whallop? 06[21:17:07] * Kid is startled at the sudden jump, and is lit up as his vest goes off from Tatsuko's shot. 06[21:17:07] * Tetsuko fires at the kid at the apex of her jump. After which she kicks off a nearby piece of scenery and bounces behind cover [21:17:27] Wha-hey? [21:17:37] Uh-huh. 06[21:17:56] * Woman ducks down, and returns fire! Then she breaks for the stairs. 06[21:18:55] * Woman isn't a good shot, and Tetsuko doesn't oblige her by walking into the shot for her. Session Close: Mon Aug 27 21:21:57 2007 Session Start: Mon Aug 27 21:21:57 2007 Session Ident: #VCB 02[21:21:57] * Disconnected 02[21:23:05] * Attempting to rejoin channel #VCB 03[21:23:05] * Rejoined channel #VCB [21:23:28] What was -that- for? 06[21:24:38] * Tetsuko finds a good place with a clear view of the stairway, and waits... 06[21:25:08] * Navi whistles. 06[21:25:53] * Tetsuko springs up the stairs, looking for her target. She finds her and opens fire 06[21:26:04] * Noah mutters something about buying a hat. 06[21:26:30] * Woman is already flashing, so getting shot again doesn't do much. She holds up her hands in a 'I surrender' gesture. [21:27:23] * The speakers intone, "Blue team, 1 point." 06[21:27:34] * Tetsuko nods. [21:27:40] Woo! Alright, now to get that guy this time. [21:33:07] * As the next few rounds progress, there's wins, losses, and flashy vests... in the end, it's the mom that comes out ahead, though Noah (And Navi) come in second, with Tetsuko coming in third. 06[21:34:15] * Noah is a generally good sport about it, congratulating the mom and the kid. He is even gracious to the punk guy, though he's inwardly gloating at beating him. 06[21:34:52] * Noah leaves the gun and the vest back where they belong, and checks his watch and the brightness of the day when they get back outside. 03[21:36:29] * Kid (HeWhoHunts@68-118-61-214.dhcp.csby.or.charter.com) has left #VCB 03[21:36:30] * Woman (HeWhoHunts@68-118-61-214.dhcp.csby.or.charter.com) has left #VCB 03[21:36:45] * Guy is now known as NPC1 [21:37:28] * The tournament took the better part of 1.5 hours, so it's starting to get time to eat. [21:37:29] Nice shootin' tex. [21:38:21] Thanks, li'l lady. *fakin' his best John Wayne* 01[21:38:31] That was interesting. [21:39:12] But I couldna done it without mah posse. *puts one arm around Tetsuko and squeezes briefly, doing his best to do the same with one hand (gently) where Navi rests inside his shirt* [21:39:29] That school marm was one mean gun, herself. 06[21:39:57] * Tetsuko nods... 06[21:41:09] * Noah 's stomach growls as he checks his watch. "Hm. What do you ladies like to eat? ...-do- you ladies eat?" [21:41:31] I most certainly do, thank you very much. 01[21:42:13] I can work on chemical reactions, but... it's not very efficient. And the food should relaly go to people who would get the most out of it. [21:42:30] Awww, that's such a good heart. [21:45:25] Let's go to the Planet Hollywood. I hear they've got one in every major theme park, and if you miss it, you regret it. 06[21:45:33] * Noah pulls out the map to locate one. [21:45:39] Oh fine fine, if pop culture is what you want. [21:45:52] You got a better idea? 06[21:46:09] * Noah sounds like he is genuinely open to suggestions, not hostile. [21:46:34] My family tends to hit french places a lot, so I'd like to avoid that if possible. [21:46:55] No, it's fine, I'll eat anything as long as it doesn't make me fat. *wink* [21:47:39] Maybe this isn't such a good place to go, then... *winks teasingly* You up for it, Tetsuko? ...ah! Here's one. *jabs the map* We go this way. *points down the street* 01[21:48:29] I will accompany you. Maybe I'll have something to drink. I benefit more from that 06[21:49:18] * Navi giggles. "I'll just have some of what you have. [21:49:19] " [21:49:32] I'll order extra, then. }:9 06[21:49:35] * Noah dashes off! [21:50:08] * End. Session Close: Mon Aug 27 21:51:39 2007
