(Can I
please just flame this piece of junk and get a new one. . . ? "No." *pout*)
Oh well, guess your going have to put up with the techinical difficulties.
**** transmitting video ****
Shadowfox opens the door, to only find (aren't you just a little surprised)
Bruce and Karl.
Shadowfox (cooly): Well drek, this is a surprise.
Bruce (neutrally): Shadowfox, it has been a long time. (he looks around the
room. Seems a little surprised by something, almost blanches when he sees the
cyber-arm) Oh frag. I am sorry Blitzkrieg. (shakes hands with Shadowfox)
May I come in Shadowfox, or should I and my friend just stand here in the
doorway.
Shadowfox (still cooly): I'm sorry, I'm still sort of out of it. Please come
in. (shakes hands with Karl).
Bruce and Karl sit down. If you invision the room as a square clock. At 6
would be where the bed is. At 7 would be where the guitar and the sword are.
At 8 would be Bruce (in a chair now). At 9 would be Shadowfox. At 10 would be
the door. At 12 is where Karl is sitting. At 2 is an annoyed Gawk, who hasn't
quite figured out who the other two are. At 3, keeping a close watch on Gawk
is Phoenix. At 4.5 is where WHAT is sitting. He's giving the new arrivals a
very hard stare, but with a show of confusion playing across his face.
Shadowfox: Well since I know everyone, let me start introducing people.
He takes a few seconds, pointing out who is who. (without introducing Karl or
Bruce)
Karl: I am Karl. I became aware of some of you when you were in Berlin. I
was the one who took it on my shoulders to get Blitzkrieg out of Berlin, and
get him some healing. If I had known what was going on sooner, I would have
tried my best to help you out. But I didn't. Only after Blitzkrieg stole the
sword, did I become aware of how much danger you were in. . . *sigh* I wish I
could have helped sooner.
Blitzkrieg: *sigh sadly* I may not be thrilled with the new arm, or the fact
that I even needed one, but I am eternally grateful that you were there. If
not I would be dead. . . and . . . *shudder*
Firewraith (hugs Blitzkrieg): I would probably doing something I would really
be regretting right about now. We both thank you for what you did.
(this has seemed to confuse Karl abit)
Karl: You have . . . I mean. . . ughhhhh . . . you choose to stay with him,
even though he. . . Frag I don't know how to say it.
Firewraith: All things aren't as they seem. I have no true regrets about my
choice so far.
(Blitzkrieg smile weakily)
Bruce (hmmmmms a little): I am Bruce. (that immediately gets a lunge from
Gawk as soon as the words sink in. Phoenix, expecting as much, tackles Gawk,
and they both go crashing to the floor. WHAT starts to use this opportunity
to get closer to him, and perhaps give him a new appreciation for life, but
stops as fire starts to dance wildly around Firewraith's. She says: "Don't
make me hurt you WHAT." WHAT grimaces and sits down.) Let me finish, young
ork. I don't know why you hate me. I don't even know who the frag you are
except for some name. I do know that something has gone wrong, by the fact
that we are all here now. Before you go attacking me, I want to know what my
charges are!
WHAT: YOU DON'T KNOW 'OW MUCH WE'VE BEEN THROUGH 'CAUSE OF YOU, SPLITTA!!!!!
Gawk: Crystal died because of you. Blitzkrieg got a wiz new arm, because
the other one got blown off, in connection to you. (Blitzkrieg and Bruce
cringe at that one)
Firewraith (acidly): Interesting what you feel in connection to Crystal, and
your actions towards me.
Gawk blanches. Phoenix smirks a little, and throws Gawk back into his chair,
almost breaking it, and then sits down next to Gawk. Gawk focuses his anger
at Phoenix, and pops his spurs. Phoenix, in response mouths the words (you
think something along the lines of: "Go ahead and see what happens.")
Shadowfox: I wouldn't suggest that Gawk. It will force you to be removed from
this discussion. If you have a problem with people either take it out
non-violently here, or wait for another opportunity. Do I make myself clear?
Gawk (grumbling angerly): Yeah Yeah Yeah...
Bruce *sighs*: Maybe we should start at the beginning of all this and things
may be will become clearer.
Shadowfox: Perhaps you are right. I suppose the story starts with Doomsday
and I. I was sort of unofficially helping out Doomsday with a job that
apparently involved an elven prince. He, trying to stop Doomsday and the
others from interfering on his plans, took a friend Midnight, as a hostage.
Midnight, eventually died in his hands, when it became clear that the hostage
route wasn't going to work. In addition an assasin took out some other
friends of ours. In the middle of all this, I got into a huge fight with Doc
Jones. For the record, this was in June.
{pauses for a moment to take off his jacket. Everybody else takes his cue and
does the same.}
Shadowfox sighs and continues: So I decided that I would need help to find out
where she disappeared to soon after. Since Phoenix was unemployed, he
volunteered for the job. (Phoenix nods thoughtfully) Phoenix and I did some
digging, and found out that you (points at Bruce) were doing something through
MIT&M and thought that maybe you knew something. So Phoenix took off to
Boston, to check out that end, and I started another job, to try and raise
money for the need to hire others, because I didn't feel confident about our
chances to find her on our own. I was running other jobs all the while, and
have just gotten here to Rome.
Phoenix: At Boston, I did some ground work, and then pulled a small run into
MIT&M. It failed miserably. So I figured that I would need more help on this
one. I made a call for help, and Blitzkrieg, Gawk, WHAT, and eventually
Firewraith joined us in Boston. Before Firewraith joined though we did
another run against MIT&M. I made my own way in. . .
Gawk: Yeah, how the hell did you do that anyway?
Phoenix (sighs): Well, I knew the route you would be taking in, and I sort of
knew the layout of where we all wanted to go. I just conviently, borrowed a
janitorial job. Nobody thought anything of it. I was amazed. Apparently,
nobody thinks anything of janitors anymore.
Blitzkrieg: You had help didn't you to pull off that disguise.
Phoenix: Yes I did, but I really can't say what the help was. I still sort
of owe them one job. Which I am not looking forward to.
Shadowfox nods thoughtfully.
***** Transmission halted. Techinical feedback detected.
DAMN!!!! I thought this piece of junk was fixed. We should just invest in a
new piece of tech. *SIGH* Be back as soon as we get this running
again.]<<<<<
