[Date: December 24th, 2015. Time: 0050 hours.] [Continuing the fight with the white-haired Nicolas Prower, who proved pathetically easy to Xiang-Fei's fists of justice, the group finds themselves deep in clones. A !Xiang-Fei and !Akira have emerged, complete with a Chinese man with black ponytail and glasses. Time to continue where we left off.] [Re-enter File.] [Order: Xiang-Fei, !Xiang-Fei, Glasses, Aaron, Sean, !Akira, TJ, Olivia, Hans. Aaron, TJ and Hans are all wounded.] (Sorry, took a bit to find when !Xiang-Fei came in the line- up.) [Xiang-Fei's turn!] * Xiang-Fei sheathes her swords, spinning as she does so to deliver a roundhouse kick. "If Feng-Lei come, I fight them too! I fight as long as they try hurt others!" 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6-4) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 3. (To whom?) ( !me ) (Gotcha.) [!Xiang-Fei ducks under that, quietly focused on the combat.] (You have a second attack, Xiang. :P) ( I used it sheathing my swords. ) (Ah. Guess that works, though I don't know if I would have counted that as a full action. ^_^;) ( Well, if you want me to attack again, I'm all for it :P ) (Nah, you're right.) [!Xiang-Fei throws her whole forearm towards Xiang-Fei's midsection as she comes up, following with her own roundhouse.] 2 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2 2d6-5) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 2 4. [Glasses digs through his coat and pulls out something small and sharp, but hard to see. Sight checks +2, since there's little lighting in these corridors.] 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 8. ( Nope! ) (For all of us, or just Xiang-Fei?) (All.) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Aaron (2d6-2) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 9. (No. Curses.) (Oh.) (Olivia and TJ have to wait until they get back inside of course.) [Fine enough. Aaron's turn.] * Aaron attempts to disarm !Akira again by firing at his gun hand. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Aaron (2d6-3) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 4. [Aaron's shot is straight and true, but !Akira is not there when the bullet actually goes through.] (It rhymes!) [Sean fires his gun with truth and grace. But lo and behold, !Akira's not in that place.] (I HAD to because of you, Kate. >.>) (*laughs*) (XD) [Akira pulls around from the open door across the hall and open fires at Aaron.] 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Aaron (2d6-2) and gets 10, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "Some things just aren't meant to be." ( <.< ) (...yeah. Not my night.) (...Oh dear. (Fortunatly you can just replace him with a clone) (Sadly, Aaron wasn't there to be cloned!) (Or Olivia! ph33r the hax0rz!) ( We'll just splice his DNA with Xiang-Fei's. ) (Rowyn, when TJ's turn comes up, Nic needs a descrip of the outside.) (And how far it is to the van/truck/transportation device.) [Aaron takes a shot straight in the gut that TEARS through them. He's seeing spots and amazingly, still standing, but JUST barely.] ( Youch ) (And Rowyn, sorry about another question, but why are they there again?) [And yes, all of this hurts like hell to move, Aaron.] * Aaron doubles over in agony, clutching his midsection as he tries to make sure that everything that's supposed to be in *stays* in. (Sean overheard them talking about going after Makoto at the docks earlier, and also they apparently have Lurika there.] [Everything that's supposed to stay in does stay in. Unfortunately, that includes the buckshot.] ( That's not supposed to stay in! ) (No, it's not. ;_;) [TJ and company are outside with Keyoumi and the quiet night sky. There are a few lights on in the parking lot around the facility, but it is rather dim outside. Beyond the gate lies where the truck was parked off in the distance. Most of the lot seems deserted. But TJ and Olivia do need sight checks.] (Does that include HA?) (Yes.) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for TJ (2d6-2) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 7. (Made.) (HA always applies unless I say otherwise.) (Olivia?) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Olivia (2d6) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 6. (Make by 3 if mind.) [Olivia and TJ notice that, fortunately, the spot they parked in is rather dark. It's fortunate because what they also notice off in the distance are what looks like a pair of flashlights scouting the property. For the moment, they're still a ways off, on the other side of the institute.] (okay.) [Hans frowns at that and whispers, "Patrols?"] "I guess it makes sense that they've got guards." * Olivia nods. * T.J. looks down at the injured women they're carrying. "Let's get her into the van, quick." Yes. [Hans nods and works on hauling her into the van, favoring his non- wounded side.] (Whose move is it? Do we need to use a move action?) (I'm letting you three all move at once.) * T.J. also helps move. (Since you're not technically in combat, all that matters with you is timing it.) * Olivia helps move people! [They succeed in storing her in the van!] (And I'll give you one more brief talking/move action before moving on.) * T.J. tries to see how being moved has affected the woman's condition. (Diagnosis roll.) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for TJ (2d6) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 9. (Made exactly.) [Her breath is shallow, but she still seems to be hanging on. But barely. Hans is putting proper pressure to the wound. But then again, he's a doctor. He should be.] "We should get her to a hospital, but we can't book with Aaron and Xiang- Fei still inside." T.J. looks at Olivia and Dr. Hans for their responses. [Hans nods. "Especially if they're patrolling. We're all intruders her." He curses mildly under his breath.] [Back inside, things are still looking relatively nasty. Xiang-Fei's turn.] (Olivia can still make a comment but trying to move things along.) ( Remind me what's happening? ) [Aaron's bleeding pretty badly, Guy with glasses just returned from down below and is coming towards your group. He pulled something out but you're not sure yet who he's going towards. Nicolas is unconscious on the floor, and Xiang-Fei is facing !Xiang-Fei.] ( Oh, right. ) (Go ahead, move things along. I'm just mostly awestruck/panicstricken right now. c.c) (AFK one sec; last load of laundry.) * Xiang-Fei reaches for her double's arm. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6-3) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 8. [The double is moving around just a bit too much for that and Xiang doesn't manage to get a firm grip.] * Xiang-Fei fails that plan, instead throwing a quick palm strike at the girl. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6-4) and gets a natural 4 for a result of 0. [!Xiang-Fei catches the palm strike in her hands and returns with a kick to the stomach.] (Back.) 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6-5) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 4. (With her hands around Xiang's wrists for clarification.) [Xiang-Fei manages to dodge out of the way of that. But she doesn't manage to see the backhand coming her way. It smacks her against the face and sends her reeling. Body roll, Xiang-Fei.] ( I don't see it? O.o ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 7. (Crit success, Brett.) ( Ah ) [The guy with glasses kneels next to Nicolas. "Don't worry. It'll all be over soon." Now you can see that he has a syringe in his hand as he pierces the skin and presses down.] [Aaron!] * Aaron backs off slowly, one arm across his midsection. His other arm dangles limply at his side, and while he's still holding his gun, he's not making any motion to use it. He keeps his head up slightly as he shuffles back towards the exit and the people with medical skills. (Total Defense.) [Sean looks at Aaron for a second and raises his pistol at Akira. "I'll cover you." He manages to finally disarm the bastard. Again. He's not looking pleased with this turn of events.] [The cover-fire works though, because !Akira draws *another* pistol and fires instead at Sean. Sean manages to dash down the T intersection before the bullet hits him.] [TJ, Olivia, Hans.] * T.J. backs out of the van, leaving Dr. Hans to tend to the patient. "I'm gonna go get them so we can get the Hell out of here." He turns and heads for the door to the building wherein the conflict occurs. I'll just stay... here. [Hans scowls. "I guess getting the girl back was a little too much to hope for." (Dr. Hans' bedside manner is somewhat subpar.) (That's who he is.) (How far does TJ get this turn?) [TJ gets to the door! And almost bumps into Aaron on his way out.] (Can I assess his condition?) * Aaron smiles weakly. "Hey. Guess my luck finally ran out. Can you get me to the doctor?" (He's, uh, pretty obviously wounded very badly.) (Can I do any Emergency Response medicine? Or next turn?) (You can if Aaron agrees. But he's got buckshot in him, so not sure how effective it'll be other than to prevent him from getting worse.) "Sure thing, man. Lemme take a quick look at you first." 'kay. Thanks. * T.J. sees if he can patch Aaron up, or at least keep him from falling further apart. (ER roll.) 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for TJ (2d6-3) and gets a natural 4 for a result of 1. (Made by 6.) [Aaron patches him up good. He actually feels like his guts aren't going to leak out over the ground anymore!] (Err, TJ. ;p) [Xiang-Fei's turn.] (Right!) (I get patched up good!) (Aaron patches himself up good.) (Aaron gets patched up good.) * Xiang-Fei howls and staggers back, clutching the side of her head. Quickly, she falls back into her fighting stance, throwing a roundhouse at her copy. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6-4) and gets 8, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "Don't blame me. Blame yourself, or God." ( Eww. ) ( I'ma DR that. ) (Good call!) 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6-4) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 3. ( Much better ) [The copy manages to dodge that though, ducking low.] * Xiang-Fei uses the momentum to turn it into an axe kick. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6-4) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 1. [The copy manages to shift to the side of that too. She seems ready to attack again when the guy with glasses says "Come on! We've done what we came to do anyways. Let's take the girl out of her." !Xiang-Fei nods and runs the other direction. (Take the girl out of her! And leave only the man.) * Xiang-Fei gives chase! "No you don't!" [!Akira tries to get out as well, aiming to take a parting shot as he goes. But Sean is one step ahead of him and fires through the chest. He collapses.] [Aaron!] (And give me a body roll, Xiang.) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 6. ( Yep! ) * Aaron feels better now and gives TJ a grateful look. He straightens up a bit and continues heading towards Hans. (Still Total Defense, though I doubt I'm going to need it.) ( It's just a little buckshot. ) (You just keep on saying that when it's *your* insides threatening to fall out. ;p) [Xiang-Fei is managing to keep up pretty well! Aaron makes it to the van without problems now.] ( I'm the one who's stuck inside the evil HQ with no backup :( ) (Sean's backup!) (It's just like her intro all over again! Only without mooks!) [TJ, Olivia, Hans.] [Hans notices Aaron coming towards the van and takes a deep breath. "Things aren't going well, I take it."] Not... really. I could use some help. ...lots of help. (How is Aaron? Does he still need T.J.'s help?) (I think he could use help from whoever's willing to give it.) (Well, what's he need? Can Olivia do it with simple instructions, or does T.J. need to stay with him? Because somebody's got to go get Xiang-Fei and the NPC guy.) ( * Xiang-Fei beats up the institution itself. Kaminari wins! ) (Probably Hans and Olivia together can do it. Actually, Hans by himself could do it, but he's likely preoccupied with Keyoumi, so I don't know. Rowyn?) [Hans glances at Olivia. "Come here a moment, would you?"] (Working on it. TJ I think is fine to go though.) (Hans can get Olivia to look after Keyoumi and then take after Aaron.) (Yup! I can do that!) (I R SMRT) * T.J. enters the building, glancing around to see what's happened in his absence. [TJ sees people rushing down the hallway! And, err, a lot of blood. !Akira is on the ground bleeding, and Nicolas is foaming at the mouth. Eww, that's not good.] (Can I assess their conditions?) (Medical diagnosis. +4 for Nicolas.) (For !Akira first.) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for TJ (2d6-2) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 6. (Made by 1.) (For Nicolas second.) 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for TJ (2d6+2) and gets a natural 4 for a result of 6. * RDMgryphon has joined #kaminari (Made by 1.) [!Akira looks near death's door. TJ doesn't think he can get to him in time, unfortunately. As for Nicolas, it looks like some kind of toxins in his body. Yeah, he's pretty well a goner.] (Annd...I'm guessing Olivia isn't answering Hans?) (Has T.J. seen either of them before? And what were they doing at the time?) (He saw both of them when they entered the building, obviously, when Nicolas crazily attacked Aaron. He's seen Akira when he went to pick up the crew from Germany.) (Can someone give me a quick link to the log?) (To the beginning of the fight log?) [Meanwhile, we'll let Xiang-Fei go. She's still in range to attack.] (Sorry, I needed to figure out what T.J. thinks of these people, ie would he walk past and let them die without bothering to stop.) * Xiang-Fei grabs at the girl from behind. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6-4) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 3. (Well, !Akira shot at him.) (So how does he think of people who shot at him?) (At him specifically?) (Well, with the shotgun. But yeah, got him Hans and Aaron iirc) (Okay, that was !Akira, so Nicolas gets to be the one T.J. tries to save.) (He doesn't look very saveable.) (Okay, from a medical triage perspective, who's the better bet in this situation? (Based on T.J.'s assessment of both.) * Olivia is by Hans, and awaiting instruction. [!Xiang-Fei manages to twist out of her grip and hisses. She turns around, ready to attack.] (!Akira is near gone, Nicolas is gone gone.) * Xiang-Fei grabs her hand for a shoulder throw. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6-3) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 8. ( Or not ) * T.J. lets out a whispered curse as he comes upon the scene. He looks from one fallen foe to another, then up the corridor where he presumes his teammates have gone. He takes another step forward, then stops. With a sigh, he crouches over Akira, and tries his damndest to help the bastard. [Glasses is still running. !Xiang misses the shoulder throw and throws a kick at Xiang's midsection.]] 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6-5) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 0. (Do I roll Emergency Response?) (Yes. +4) 2d6+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for TJ (2d6+1) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 12. (...) (Well, he tried.) [Hans gestures her closer. "Put your pressure here...Olivia, wasn't it? Just press firmly right at this spot."] [TJ gives it a valient effort, but it seems to be too much blood. He doesn't think he'll be able to save him at this rate.] * Olivia nods to Hans as she tries her best not to be grossed out as she puts pressure where indicated. "Yeah, Olivia." [Hans: "And try not to be grossed out."] I'm trying, I'm trying! ( [Olivia puts pressure on Aaron's throat, suffocating him. Hans cackles madly.] ) [Hans moves and goes over to Aaron, taking out his medical kit and getting to work. Aaron slumps against the side of the van and goes under, but his breathing is still even.] [Getting back to init, !Xiang-Fei steps in with her other foot, kicking it high.] ( >.> ) 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6-5) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 1. [Xiang-Fei ducks that too. Sean manages to come from behind shortly after and takes a shot at !Xiang's leg. She winces as the bullet grazes her.] [TJ hears the gunshot down the hall. His turn.] (Is the guy he's dealing with dead yet?) (Yes.) (Just because it's simpler.) * T.J. silently removes his bloody hands from the now-dead man who looks like Akira. He wipes them on his pants, leaving two red handprints above his knees. He glances over at Nicolas. (And checks if Nicolas is dead too.) (Do you want a roll for that or is it automatic?) (Hello?) (Automatic. He has no pulse.) * T.J. stands up and heads down the hall, toward more victims of this insanity he's been caught up in. But at least he won't get lost; drops of the Akira clone's blood fall from his hands as he runs, like a trail of breadcrumbs. [Hans meanwhile takes out something to pry out the bullet and gets to work. Hope Olivia's not squeamish.] (T.J., give me a body roll.) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for TJ (2d6) and gets 12, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "If I go crazy, will you still call me Superman?" (T.J. explodes.) (Oh, that's not a good prize.) [Unfortunately, all this dealing with people dying in front of him is making TJ a little ill, which slows him down. He'll get there in two rounds time.] [Xiang-Fei's turn.] * Xiang-Fei drops, throwing a sweep kick at the girl's legs. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6-4) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 5. [The clone hops over that easily.] * Xiang-Fei gets back to her feet with a jumping uppercut remniscient of 2D fighting games. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6-4) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 7. ( That's a make :o ) [That one hits, knocking !Xiang down. She looks like she's almost out finally. She does have enough energy left to try and sweep then punch Xiang- Fei.]] 2 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2 2d6-5) and gets a natural 6 for a result of -1 1. 2d6+3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ryan (2d6+3) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 13. [Xiang-Fei manages to dodge them both.] [Glasses is still running. Sean takes another shot at !Xiang but it goes wide. TJ's still approaching.] [Hans takes out the bullet and talks absently to Olivia. "Can you scoot that tray over a little?"] * Olivia nods and shakily stumbles a tray over to Hans a little. [The bullet, or what's left of it, clinks in the tray. Soul roll, Olivia.] 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Olivia (2d6) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 7. (Miss by 2) [Olivia's squeamishness gets the better of her and she feels sick, or at least the need to look away. Her hands are shaking.] * Olivia has shakyhands! [Xiang-Fei!] * Xiang-Fei does a high-angled kick at her clone's head. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6-4) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 2. [The kick manages to collide with a satisfying crack and she finally goes down.] * Xiang-Fei grins, satisfied, and chases after the other guy! 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6-2) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 4. ( Woo! ) [Xiang-Fei starts to chase after him for a bit before she notices something not quite right with the walls ahead. On closer inspection, it seems there are two bombs set on the sides of the hallway that glasses has already passed through. * Xiang-Fei ....... decides not to chase him. But she does call out, "Get back here! Cheater!!" ( Does he come back? ) (Uh. No. ;P) ( Damn ) * Xiang-Fei reluctantly (but hurriedly) returns to the front, stopping to pick up her double as she goes. * Xiang-Fei meanwhile wonders where everyone has gone. [Glasses turns around for a second and then noticing she's stopped pursuing, goes around the corner and is seen no more. (Where did the other NPC on our side go to?) [Sean is still there and fires one last shot at him before saying, "Damn." He checks his ammo as he stops by Xiang-Fei.] (Was in the middle of typing that, but thanks.) [And out of init, so TJ can catch up.) * Xiang-Fei blinks at Sean. *blink* "What now?" * T.J. almost runs into them. "C'mon, we're gettin' out of here!" He waves his bloody, bloody hands back the way they came. [Sean frowns. "There's no way we'll be able to catch him like this." He holsters his gun. "We'll have to find another time and another way to get Lurika back. I just hope it's not too late." * Xiang-Fei looks down. "Sorry I no could stop." [Sean turns suddenly towards TJ. "Eh? What's going on?" "We've got two wounded back in the van." [Sean shakes his head. "That's definitely not good. Maybe it would be best to regroup at headquarters then."] * T.J. nods, already heading back. [Sean starts to head back quickly as well, taking one irritated look back before he goes.] * Xiang-Fei follows, carrying her double. "Why people do bad thing?" [Sean shakes his head. "Do you really need to ask that?"] * Xiang-Fei frowns. "I guess no... But I no want Feng Lei to.... um...." she fails to form a properending to that sentsence and just goes with the words she can find: "to do things what they do to people.... that they do." (Very eloquently said, Xiang-Fei.) ( ^^v ) [You all get out to the van. With van-type people waiting for the van to move. Xiang is still dragging her double. TJ notices the patrols again. They're a few minutes away from coming over.] * T.J. hops into the driver's seat and turns on the engine. * Olivia crosses her fingers. * Xiang-Fei gets in the back, laying down her double. She looks at Sean. "Ummm..." [Hans manages to stitch Aaron up just before the van starts. Which is lucky, because the jostling probably wouldn't be good for surgery like that. Xiang-Fei and Sean climb in the back with them. Lookit all the blood!] * Xiang-Fei glances at the blood and makes a face, but surprisingly doesn't look THAT shocked by it. She's probably getting used to it by now. * T.J. sets the van in motion, heading for the nearest hospital. [Sean crosses his arms and sits down heavily. He doesn't look too pleased. "At least we managed to take care of a few operatives. Though I wish we could have gotten some information from that Nicolas chap." He looks at Aaron for a moment after that.] * Xiang-Fei keeps looking at Sean. "Ummm...." [Sean turns to Xiang-Fei. "Yes?" Hans seems curious about what they said though. "Nicolas 'chap'? Just what the hell happened in there?"] * Xiang-Fei points at her double. "Maybe we tie up so no get beat up again?" [The van starts to roll. TJ keeps it smooth, because he's just that good a driver.] [Sean frowns. "That's a bit disturbing anyway. Why would you want to keep her?"] ( We should let Xiang-Fei drive. ) (Xiang-Fei gets attacked by truck-ninja.) * Xiang-Fei boggles. "I no know? Maybe so no come back later? ( Xiang-Fei beats him up while driving! ) [Sean responds dryly. "There's an easy way to take care of *that*, love."] * Xiang-Fei blinks. "How? * Olivia curls in the corner and covers her ears. [Sean shakes his head. "Sometimes, I think you're too soft for this business. Alright, we'll tie her up." He goes up to TJ. "Did you get a vehicle with rope perhaps?" * Xiang-Fei blinks a few times. "Huh?" It went waaaaaay over her head. "Beats me. Take a look around back there," T.J. replies as he changes lanes. [Sean looks and eventually finds it. He starts to tie !Xiang up, arms behind her back and feet together.] (KS has gained +1 Xiang-Fei.) ( Woo! ) ( It's like double the kung fu! ) (Yes.) (And you guys can talk if you have a specific subject, but we can end soon.) (We can convince her to join KS. Then we can have twin Xiang-Feis attacking in synchronized kung fu.) (I note that TJ is heading by default to a public hospital. If someone objects, they'll have to tell him so.) * Xiang-Fei scrutinizes her. "She look lots like me. But no is me." She takes off her headband and points to the mark on her forehead. "See?" (Her own headband?) ( Is the copy wearing one? I assumed not, since you said she didn't have the mark >.> ) (Right.) (Just checking!) [Sean looks at Xiang-Fei. "Hmm. Interesting."] * Xiang-Fei blinks. "What?" [Sean: Well...I would understand why it would not take. But if they were trying to duplicate you, they would probably find a way to mimic it. I suppose they didn't know..."] [Sean: That or you just have a very close look-alike.] Oh. "You could check for moles or something," T.J. notes as he takes a left. * Xiang-Fei thinks about that for a bit. "But Akira was there too!" [Sean: "Yes. That was odd too..."] * Xiang-Fei scratches that mark she just uncovered. "I no unnerstand. What just happen?" [Sean frowns. "I wish I knew, exactly..."] * Xiang-Fei gazes out the window. [End of File.]
