Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Ahhh, MEMORIES... *G*))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Dream, Claudius...the pikey gets all the good tail. *G*))

Angelia Caponelli: So Ang drives up with Reyna, a bag of restraints and another bag.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: They reach the remote barn building with no problems. There are mud tracks showing a vehicle has driven across the parking lot area but no actual vehicles visible in the lot.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She drives along, in silence, every now and then breaking into the Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back soundtrack. "Fuck, fuck, fuck, Mother, mother fuck, Mother, mother fuck, fuck Mother fuck, mother fuck, Noich noich noich..."

Angelia Caponelli: She just looks at Reyna. Pulls up and parks and looks around. "I supose we can wait inside for him."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She pulls up to the barn, killing the engine, and looks at Angelia, smiling a little.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: ((To clarify, the mud tracks lead to the big bay door. *G* Meaning the vehicle might be inside. *G*))

Adamas [late on apr 12]: 4,7,3,8,4,2,2,

Adamas [late on apr 12]: 5,6,7,4,2,10,3,

Angelia Caponelli: She grabs the bag of chains almost lovingly and clambers out of the car. "Get the other one?"

Angelia Caponelli: (kk)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods and grabs the other bag, and slips out. "Coo'." She shuts her door and looks around, following behind Angelia.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: 6,8,6,6,9,2,7,

Adamas [late on apr 12]: He's waiting for them inside, sitting in the cavernous gloom at the picnic table in the large central open area, tranq gun in his hand, which is resting on the table top.

Angelia Caponelli: She smiles brightly when she sees him, drops the bag with a loud clank and hurries over to hug him.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She grins at the dart gun as she heads in, dropping her bag next to Angelia's. "Aww, honey. A dart gun? You remembered my birthday!" She winks to him, heading over.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: He's sitting very tensely, breathing tightly controlled as Ang hugs him. His face looks strangely like a mix between Mas and Fausto, his bone structure that of a young Fausto, but his eyes clearly almond shaped like Mas's. his skin is lighter than Mas's by a few shades. He looks like Fausto's son would look, had he mated with a Thai woman.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "You need...to restrain me...~right now~" he manages through gritted teeth.

Angelia Caponelli: She kisses his cheek before moving back. "Do you want to do this inside?"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She raises an eyebrow. "Uhhh...guuuuys? Wanna tell the clueless coyote girl what's going on?" She's already moving to the chains.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: ((They are inside in the big cavernous central open area. The vehicle who's tracks you see is not inside.))

Angelia Caponelli: She moves back to get the bag and pulls out a pair of heavy cuffs. "Reyna, give me a hand?"

Adamas [late on apr 12]: 5,4,3,7,4,4,5,

Angelia Caponelli: "Just hep me get him secure, he needs to be cleansed."

Adamas [late on apr 12]: He growls and shakes his head raising the tranq gun as Ang turns her back on him and fires.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: 5,3,10,4,3,7,8,

Adamas [late on apr 12]: 4,4,7,8,8,7,4,

Adamas [late on apr 12]: ((roll STA Ang))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She blinks as he fires the tranqulizer gun at her, and shifts up as she moves to slap the gun out of his hand..

Adamas [late on apr 12]: ((or...let's do init for that...))

Angelia Caponelli: (Eek)

Adamas [late on apr 12]: 7,

Adamas [late on apr 12]: ((13))

Angelia Caponelli: 6,

Angelia Caponelli: (11)

Adamas [late on apr 12]: ((Have to at least see if you guys would have a chance to stop him before he does this))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 8,

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((14))

Adamas [late on apr 12]: ((so roll for the slap, Reyna))

Adamas [late on apr 12]: (and Ang roll dodge if you're dodging))

Angelia Caponelli: 7,2,3,9,

Angelia Caponelli: (most definitly dodging)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((SHifted to Manabozho, also))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 7,5,5,5,2,6,6,9,

Adamas [late on apr 12]: ((roll contested STR to knock the thing out of his hand))

Adamas [late on apr 12]: 8,9,9,6,

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 3,7,3,9,7,

Adamas [late on apr 12]: Reyna slaps his hand hard enough to throw off his aim as Ang dodges, but not hard enough to make him drop the weapon

Adamas [late on apr 12]: 4,4,5,3,1,6,2,

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "Fucking dogs!" he hisses, the blazing light of insanity in his eyes, as he turns the gun on Reyna. "Fucking English dogs!"

Angelia Caponelli: "Why is it always me that gets shot at?!" She growls as she hits the floor.

Angelia Caponelli: (new round?)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "My turn now!" As she goes to try and smack it again, as well as dodge. ((Splitting actions.))

Adamas [late on apr 12]: ((yes, new round, he's turning to shoot at Reyna))

Adamas [late on apr 12]: 5,8,8,1,8,8,6,

Angelia Caponelli: (Jamming tech, spending wp)

Angelia Caponelli: 6,5,3,

Angelia Caponelli: (eek, only 1 succ for the gun)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 10,1,4,6,1,5,

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 8,4,3,2,2,

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Ouch. First was slap, 2nd was dodge.))

Adamas [late on apr 12]: 4,3,6,3,5,

Adamas [late on apr 12]: He pulls the trigger. The gun doesn't fire. Reyna tries to slap and dodge and doesn't do either. He snarls, furious, and goes to cold cock Reyna with the non-working gun.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "FUCKING DOGS!"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: If at first you don't succeed...disarm, then dodge.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 4,4,4,4,6,8,

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 3,1,3,7,2,

Adamas [late on apr 12]: 8,2,4,9,3,4,2,

Adamas [late on apr 12]: ((oops, sorry wrong pool, have less dice for dex+melee, re-rolling now))

Adamas [late on apr 12]: 5,4,2,8,3,2,

Adamas [late on apr 12]: 6,8,7,3,

Adamas [late on apr 12]: ((roll STR for the slap))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 2,3,1,2,10,

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 2,3,1,2,10,

Adamas [late on apr 12]: Reyna slaps, but not enough to deflect the blow and takes a solid blow to the side of the head. ((3 lethal, soak))

Angelia Caponelli: (next round at least) Ang snap shifts to crinos, pushes herself up and makes to tackle Adam.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 6,9,2,7,9,5,

Adamas [late on apr 12]: 3,3,2,7,9,9,7,

Adamas [late on apr 12]: ((Ang you could have done that this round, you didn't act yet))

Adamas [late on apr 12]: ((so roll dex+brawl.))

Angelia Caponelli: (well at the end of this round then)

Angelia Caponelli: 1,2,5,5,8,

Angelia Caponelli: (Ack)

Adamas [late on apr 12]: She tries to tackle him and just bumps into him, not hitting him at a low enough center of gravity.

Angelia Caponelli: (<--- whimpiest garou ever!)

Adamas [late on apr 12]: But at the contact from Ang and after seeing and feeling that solid contact against Reyna, he grits his teeth and sets the gun on the table, raising his hands. "Do it...do it NOW you stupid cunt bitches."

Angelia Caponelli: Ang swats the gun away and out of his reach, drops down to glabro and grabs restraints, slapping them onto him as fast as she can.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Don't have to tell HER twice. She reaches over with her heavy grip, grabbing the bag of chains and ripping it open.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: (roll dex+security to secure him))

Angelia Caponelli: 7,3,5,9,

Adamas [late on apr 12]: 6,1,9,5,9,5,2,

Adamas [late on apr 12]: His jaw pulses, but he manages to remain still while she continues to secure him ((again))

Angelia Caponelli: 5,8,7,8,

Angelia Caponelli: She growls at him, "Reyna just put your weight on him 'case he wants to get up." She rumbles

Adamas [late on apr 12]: She gets him immobolized, where he can't attack either one of them.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She grabs the edge of the table as Angelia secures him, pulling it away, so if he tries to get free, he can't use it against them. Earth Mother knows he'd find a way.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: 8,10,7,1,4,7,6,

Angelia Caponelli: She growls and stocks back to get her other bag. She comes back with her holy sponge and purified water and promptly starts the cleansing.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Angelia, hon...we gonna start that cleansing, now?" She watches Adam, warily.

Angelia Caponelli: 4,1,8,1,6,4,3,3,

Angelia Caponelli: (OMG)

Adamas [late on apr 12]: Ang can feel the ritual not work, tho whether it's the distraction from Adam or other reasons.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: 4,9,1,7,5,5,2,

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Je. Sus. Fu. Kuh.))

Adamas [late on apr 12]: but, luckily, they've got him restrained enough that when he snarls and surges against the restrants and clearly clearly wants to make both of them feel lots of pain, he's unable to get free.

Angelia Caponelli: She curses and shakes her head. "I can't do it Reyna. It's not working."

Angelia Caponelli: Ang pulls her tranq gun out, tells Reyna to move and shoots him so she doesn't have to listen to that load of temptation and distraction.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: Part of what he's raving about is in English, and clearly has to do with their Canid origins. The rest of what he's raving about is in jumbled Afrikaans interspersed with random bits of Xhosa, Zulu, and Arabic.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: 4,4,3,

Adamas [late on apr 12]: He tries to dodge but between the restraints and the rest, he's unable to.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: 8,5,5,3,

Adamas [late on apr 12]: 7,3,7,7,10,7,1,

Angelia Caponelli: Then she promptly sits down on the floor, puts her head in her hands and starts crying.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She watches the whole scene unfold, stunned.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: ((And you can roll for the next cleansing attempt. *G*))

Angelia Caponelli: She takes a deep breath and gets up again now that he's quiet and starts gathering her things. "Alright. We try again. And if not maybe... while h'es out, we could try the gorget."

Angelia Caponelli: 6,6,10,4,6,5,8,7,

Angelia Caponelli: (MUCH better)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods. "I know. I'm not a fan, either." She rubs Angelia's back in circles. "So let's get to making him all better, and just regular scary, rather then multi-lingual raging scary."

Adamas [late on apr 12]: Ang knows that one worked right, and about 30 minutes later Adam comes around.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She watches as Angelia does it again, standing beside her, supportively.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: 9,3,9,5,6,3,6,

Adamas [late on apr 12]: 10,

Angelia Caponelli: And that done she'll undo all but the cuffs and make sure that the gun is safely out of reach and ask Reyna to help her move Trevor to the bed room.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: You know when your computer is going crazy and then you shut it down and reboot and it's fine? Yeah, it's kind of like that.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods, helping just as directed, taking care with the big guy. Door jambs suck to bump into.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: ((No offense but I don't think you guys are strong enough to move him upstairs to a bedroom and the lab room is locked.))

Adamas [late on apr 12]: ((you can move him onto the couch in the parlor tho. *G*))

Angelia Caponelli: (I thought the bed was in the down stairs lab but if it's locked then fine just move him some where more comfy.)

Angelia Caponelli: (That works)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((If they shift? Str 3, 4 in Tsitsu 5 in Manabozho...))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((That's fine, then. *S*))

Angelia Caponelli: So Ang sits on the floor and waits.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: his eyes open--golden colored, like Mas', and regards them. his expression is blank.

Angelia Caponelli: (nods. Same here. But the couch works just fine)

Angelia Caponelli: "I'm sorry for shooting you." She says unhappily. "How do you feel?"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She crouches next to Angelia, hand on the woman's shoulder as she smiles at Adam. "Hey, hon."

Adamas [late on apr 12]: He doesn't say anything for quite some time, and then: "Thank you."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Any time, babe." She nods to him, winking a little.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "Ever since Los...unmanned me...I've...had...odd reactions to...facing death."

Angelia Caponelli: She nods and gets the keys to undo the cuffs. "You're welcome."

Adamas [late on apr 12]: when she uncuffs him he looks at the bruises on his wrists and body from struggling against the restraints.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She leans forward, patting his leg as Angelia goes to uncuff him, in a warm, loving gesture.

Angelia Caponelli: 6,8,3,1,5,4,

Adamas [late on apr 12]: He smiles tentatively at Reyna when she pats him, the affection in his gaze is clouded with a bit of longing also.

Angelia Caponelli: She brushes her fingers lightly over his wrists, (heal one lvl)

Adamas [late on apr 12]: He winces with surprise when she touches him, and looks up at her. "You shouldn't waste that on me. You need it for your own battles."

Angelia Caponelli: "I'll meditate before we leave. I promise."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "We can always recharge, hon. No worries."

Adamas [late on apr 12]: He sighs, and sits up on the couch, pulling them both up beside him. "Thanks for coming."

Angelia Caponelli: She snuggles up to his side, "How could we not?"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She grins a little as she's pulled to his side, leaning against him. "Any time, hon."

Adamas [late on apr 12]: He kisses them each on the cheek, and wraps an arm around each, sighing wearily. "Jeremy and Ita were almost captured tonight. Bloody idiots went back to his apartment."

Angelia Caponelli: "And you were exposed keeping them safe?"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Well, that was brilliant..." She rolls her eyes, sighing.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "Yes. Crashed a car into the wall around Central Park. Bloody dogs wouldn't let me in when I came to get my shotgun back from Dream."

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "But...I mean...I went to the apartment...looking to kill...Spirals."

Angelia Caponelli: She frowns a bit and leans over to kiss his cheek, "Can we please not do any more vigilante work till after the doctor?"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods at Angelia's words, trailing fingertips along his shoulder. "I like that plan."

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "It wasn't very smart. I just...couldn't stop myself."

Angelia Caponelli: She frowns, "You need to stay closer to us."

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "I need...not to have Crinos wolves trying to drag me back to that fucking doctor," he says vehemently, his anger showing an edge of fear.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "We all do dumb things, hon. Hell, you're talking to the occasional Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber here." She winks at Angelia. "But if nothing bad happens, it's a lesson learned, right?"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((permanently bad. Gaah.))

Adamas [late on apr 12]: He doesn't say anything further, his hands moving to massage their shoulders, his eyes staring sightlessly ahead.

Angelia Caponelli: Rests her head down on his shoulder lightly, "Can we stay together tonight?"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She just sighs, a little, and leans her head on his shoulder, her moving on his shoulder sliding to rub his back as her eyes shut, content to be her, against him, with Angelia.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: He's quiet for a long moment before nodding slowly. "I'm not...sane. So you need to be...careful. I don't have the control I normally do. All of this...the concussions...the attacks...have...stirred things up."

Angelia Caponelli: "Reyna will make us be good-ish." Yes trust the Coyote. She sighs contently and nuzzles closer to him.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She's sure there's a comment about safe sex to be made here, but for once, she keeps it in, just nodding against his shoulder. "All right."

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "I'm obsessing about my mother," he admits, pulling them closer, as if positioning them as sheilds around him. "And Sonja."

Angelia Caponelli: She growls softly at the mention of Sonja.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She scoots closer, lifting her head to look at him, her head tilting slightly, getting that evenly curious look on her face.

Angelia Caponelli: She reaches up to toy with the collar lightly.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "You don't like Sonja?" he asks Ang, a bit miffed.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Hell, I'm still a little shaky on who Sonja IS." Watching them.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "She's the technocrat who made me look like Mas."

Angelia Caponelli: She looks up at him, "She's a handwaver, union, and you're obsessing over her. Of course I don't like her."

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "Also the one who was corrupted by the algorithm and almost turned me over to the doctor, but got me captured by the Union instead."

Angelia Caponelli: "Like I said. Not too much like about her."

Adamas [late on apr 12]: He frowns at what Ang says, growing a bit defensive. "Well, you're the one who bloody defined the fucking Gorget. You fucking knew I'd fail it and you threw me at it anyway."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She blinks, nodding. "Ahh. Ookie, then...not too strong on the knowing of the handwavers, but they seem like silly folk."

Angelia Caponelli: She sighs softly, "I have you a task that you need to master for the sake of your sanity. And mine. Would you rather I have made it to be be 'take care of puppy dogs for a week?'?"

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "Well, dogs are useless curs anyway," he grumbles. "and besides, Sonja saved my life."

Angelia Caponelli: She sighs and puts her head back down. "Never mind."

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "And you don't even bother asking ~why~ I'm obsessing over her but now I don't think I'll tell you, Miss Judgemental."

Adamas [late on apr 12]: ((And yes, I'm perfectly aware of how fucking black this pot is calling the kettle. *G*))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks over at Adam, smiling a little. "Wanna tell me, hon?"

Adamas [late on apr 12]: He regards Reyna for a moment, staring at her.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "It's because she's black."

Angelia Caponelli: She crinkles up her nose and almost pouts, "If you keep calling me names I'll shoot you again Love."

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "I'm not calling you names."

Angelia Caponelli: "Of course Mister Judgemental."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Hon 1, Hon 2, this is a nice moment. Can we not spoil it with bickering?" She says it with smile securely on face, no annoyance or bitterness in her voice.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: He looks down at Ang and sweeps his hand down off her shoulder to pinch her nipple. Not savagely, but hard enough to know she's been tweaked.

Angelia Caponelli: Yelps and wats at his hand, "Point taken. Tell us about the union bitch."

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "I'm trying to talk here," he says.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "Well, you know how when my mother died, Va locked me up under the house? Which wasn't so bad in the winter. But in the summer, around Christmastime...it was bloody Hell."

Angelia Caponelli: She snuggles back in to listen.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "I found...knotholes around various places in the siding...and I'd...watch the kaffir women with their children. Watch the children with their dogs, with each other..." He sighs, moving his hand down to stroke Ang's flank, his other hand curling to strum his fingers across Reyna's throat. "I hated them. Hated that they looked so bloody happy, when they were kaffirs, and less than we were. Hated that they had their fucking mothers, yet, while mine was gone. Hated that even their bloody dogs had more freedom than I did."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: SHe listens, quietly.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "I'd spend the day like that, and then he'd come home from his shift and we'd have dinner, and he'd school me with the books she'd left behind--she came from quite a good family. She was an educated woman. She'd trained to be an interpreter."

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "Anyway...he'd school me. And then we'd turn in. And that was my life for about eight months, until I learned out to...escape during the day."

Adamas [late on apr 12]: (out=how)

Angelia Caponelli: She nods a little, her hand resting down on his knee, stroking it lightly.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "And then?"

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "He beat me so badly the first time he found me outside..." he trails off, shaking his head, his hands still idly caresseing each of them. He snorts. "Well, I learned to be back where I belonged well before he was due back."

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "I mean, the first time you piss red, you learn not to earn that sort of punishment again..." He doesn't say anything for a minute or two, and then says "We never spoke about my mother's death. Neither did the kaffirs, although I'm sure every one saw through the lie. One day, I was out on the porch, batting rocks around with a stick, and I saw something that reminded me of her, and I...started to cry."

Angelia Caponelli: She swollows and presses a bit closer to him, remembering little Trevor all too well.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods, face even, just listening.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "One of the women--a kaffir woman who did our laundry--she came by, and she saw me crying, and she knew about my mother--I mean...they all knew, but their husbands worked under my father and they were all...petrified of him."

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "Even that young, I didn't cry much. But for some reason, I'd become utterly inconsolable right then. She saw me, and came up onto the porch, and she sat down beside me and pulled me onto her lap and just... held me while I wept."

Angelia Caponelli: "She reminds you of her?"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks to Angelia, then to Adam, waiting for his answer.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: His cheeks twitch. His eyes waver, and he nods. His hands stop moving. He swallows hard. "I closed my eyes and pretended it was my mother holding me and I just...wept. And then when I stopped, she gave me a hug, and picked up her basket and walked away."

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "I felt...guilty about it afterwards. As if I'd betrayed him. Betrayed them both. And so I took a trinket of my mother's, and hid it under the house, and when my father came home, I told him I'd seen the kaffir woman steal it."

Adamas [late on apr 12]: This last part is said without a trace of emotion, his gaze, his face going flat. Distant: "He had her whipped with a sjambok in front of the town. She stared at me the whole time they were making her ready. When it was done, she never looked at me again."

Angelia Caponelli: She closes her eyes and gives a little shiver, knowing where this is going.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "After that, he didn't lock me up any longer. Because no bloody kaffir for thirty miles would dare speak to me, let alone touch me."

Adamas [late on apr 12]: He sits there, still, the story ended.

Angelia Caponelli: She squeezes his knee lightly, not sure what to say to that.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She rubs his chest, lightly, looking up at him, quietly for a moment.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: He doesn't meet either of their gazes, eyes blinking rapidly. He seems afraid to look at either of them. "I know...Sonja's not her. I know that...but she...cured Va. And..." his mouth works, but he doesn't continue. his eyes flutter closed and his cheeks twitch. His head tilts to the side as if he's struggling with something.

Angelia Caponelli: "It's alright Trevor..."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "So why has this come up recently? Because of the amount of time you've been around her, by necessity? Or something else?"

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "When Schondorf had...control of her she would...enter my dreams while I was buried. She was...in love with me. Wanted to control me...my...insanity. Schondorf...I mean, in a dream, anything goes, right? Wish fullfillment? He convinced her...to rape me

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "But...even so...I never would have...survived those fifteen days...without the refuge she gave me."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks down, closing her eyes. "Man, I really hate this fucking Doctor."

Adamas [late on apr 12]: He nods to that, giving Reyna a squeeze.

Angelia Caponelli: She exhales slowly, "I'm sorry we ever let them put you into the ground."

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "But...here's the thing of it...the bloody...strange fucking twist of fate..."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She watches him, eyebrow raised.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "When she was...doing that to me...using her fucking medical knowledge to...force my...dream body...to please her...I finally broke down and asked her what she wanted of me..."

Angelia Caponelli: She looks up at him, half curious, half just sad to watch him struggling through this.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "And when she answered...I realized that it was the same bloody thing I wanted...whenever I tortured a woman. Watched her writhe and scream and beg and plead..."

Adamas [late on apr 12]: he tilts his head and his gaze goes faraway, a bright hint of that earlier madness showing in the taut lines of his cheeks. He seems to have checked out, lost the thread of the conversation.

Angelia Caponelli: She nuzzles his shoulder lightly, "And that is?"

Adamas [late on apr 12]: "I want them to love me."

Angelia Caponelli: "You are loved Trevor."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Abso-frickin'-lutely." She smiles, kissing him on the cheek.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: He shakes his head, as if Ang's totally missing the point.

Adamas [late on apr 12]: And then Reyna chimes in and he sighs, and smiles, and goes back to stroking them both. "Let's go upstairs and go to bed."

Angelia Caponelli: "Even at your fucking worst... even when you've hurt and burns and pushed and cut. I still love you." She nods a bit and gets up. "Bed sounds wonderful."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She sighs. "Adam, I understand the point, I think. That your idea of what love is all messed up in your head. This isn't news to us." She smiles a little. "That's why we're determined as hell to turn that around for you."

Adamas [late on apr 12]: He shakes his head a little to both of them, and rises, a smile on his face but a guarded sort of disappointment in his eyes. He pulls Reyna off the couch, and heads upstairs with them both after locking the outside door. ((and I gotta sleep. Thanks for the RP))

Angelia Caponelli: (nods. Me too! Great rp! Nini!)

Adamas [still late on 12]: Since this whole convo came up because Adam was sleeping with a dictionary like a teddy bear, and Since Ang is back in the city jogging by the morning of the 13th, I'm putting this late on the 12th still.

Angelia Caponelli: (doh I forgot about that Yeah)

Angelia Caponelli: 3,7,3,8,5,1,

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Sounds good.))

Adamas [still late on 12] -> Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((he's pissy because he doesn't like having his freedom curtailed and feels like Reyna and Ang are trying to control him.))

Angelia Caponelli: (that's my per + emp)

Adamas [still late on 12]: ((Reyna you can roll per+emp if you like))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 8,6,5,8,5,

Adamas [still late on 12]: ((And if you guys want to invite Ingvar in you can, say he drove out after findign out you both left suddenly late on the 12th))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Yay!! Mind fun!! *G*))

Angelia Caponelli: (Chuckles that'll tangle things up some. Sure)

Adamas [still late on 12] -> Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((he's pissy because he's very much afraid of being taken by the doctor, and is afraid that he doesn't have the balls to do this any more, and that he really is insane and therefore weak and he's going to fail, but he's hiding it by making it look like he doesn't like having his freedom curtailed and feels like Reyna and Ang are trying to control him.

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: ((this being the farmhouse?))

Adamas [still late on 12]: ((Yes the big steel barn converted into a dormitory on the second floor and kennels, kitchen, parlor, big open central area, then lab rooms where the umbral Farmhouse used to be.))

Angelia Caponelli: At this point we're all up in the bedroom I believe

Adamas [still late on 12]: ((kennels, kitchen, parlor being on the south side of the big open area on the bottom floor, along with the staircase, and the lab complex/Umbral Farmhouse on the north side))

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *When tall grass and pastureland finally gives way to open sky, the Lord exhales briefly in subtle relief to see the decidedly ugly lines of the bitchmobile squatting in the driveway.*

Adamas [still late on 12]: "You people should concentrate on doing your fucking jobs. Not coddling me."

Adamas [still late on 12]: ((There's a big asphalt apron that serves as a parking lot, and muddy lines showing that a vehicle drove across the asphalt a few times into and out of the central bay door of the barn. The bitchmobile is indeed parked on the asphalt))

Angelia Caponelli: (We get results of our emp rolls?)

Adamas [still late on 12] -> Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Oh yeah, he's also pissy because neither of them understood what he was trying to get at with his story))

Adamas [still late on 12]: ((oops, sorry PM'd that to the wrong person Ang.))

Angelia Caponelli: "Trevor if you get worse you could be used against us. Therefore, insuring you remain safe and secure is part of our job." She frowns and steaches out beside him, reaching up to rub his shoulder lightly.

Adamas [still late on 12]: He sits in the center of the bed, with his back against the headboard, clutching the dictionary across his chest protectively.

Adamas [still late on 12]: "I won't get worse, it's just battle fatigue. And I needed to be cleansed after fighting those fucking shifters."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She sighs. "We're not coddling you, Adam. We're trying to help you." She looks at him, head tilted. "We're up against some serious shit here, babe. If you let us help you, we will all make it through this alright. Together, we're strong."

Angelia Caponelli: She nods in agreement with Reyna and fiddles with the buttons on his shirt (unless he's already taken it off), "You don't need to tell us where you are or what you're doing. Just check in so we know you're alright. Okay?"

Adamas [still late on 12]: His look darkens when Reyna says that, and he shoots her a frowning glance before turning back to stare angrily at his feet.

Adamas [still late on 12]: ((I'd figure by this time they're wearing whatever they're going to sleep in. Which to my guess would be their birthday suits))

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *He steps out of the vehicle onto the subtle crunch of the asphalt, glancing around before making his way to the entrance and dialing the "safe" phone... thoughts tumble through his head.. so now that the majority are cleansed, perhaps Trong would remain in hiding if they gave up Adam... he wonders what it would take to learn a bit of things from Fang Shu...*

Angelia Caponelli: (Gotcha nix the buttons then. Ang's just wearing the gorget)

Adamas [still late on 12]: Ingvar will find the door to the barn locked, should he ever get out of his vehicle to try it. If he puts a hand near the motor of the bitchmobile, he'll find that it hasn't completely cooled yet.

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *Reyna's phone rings as he walks to the door.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Yeah, this coyote's not a PJ's gal. She's got her rose quartz necklace on, at least... *S*))

Angelia Caponelli: Ang frowns at his frowning and presses up against him, trailing her hands lightly over him. Trying to distract him? Yes but with good intentions.

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *A roughened palm finds the hood of the Bitchvan in passing.. good.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She starts to say something, but looks over as the phone rings. She slides off the bed and moves to answer. "A-yo."

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *He balls up a fist and knocks on the door hard enough to be heard, but not so as to elicit a hail of bullets.*

Adamas [still late on 12]: His arms are crossed over the dictionary, which is held tightly to his chest/abdomen. The rest of his body is stretched out on the bed, so easy to Ang to access.

Adamas [still late on 12]: 2,9,4,5,5,5,4,

Adamas [still late on 12]: He hears the knocking and fairly leaps out of bed, diving for the nearest weapon and rolling to his feet in a martial crouch.

Adamas [still late on 12]: The dictionary falls somewhere along that trajectory, completely forgotten.

Angelia Caponelli: She frowns as Reyne's phone rings and starts to pull herself up onto Trevor when the knocking starts and she scrambles up not needing to grab for weapons they come right out of her skin.

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *He rumbles through the phone.* Something a bit more subtle for the van may make it less ugly. Something dark.. blue? At any rate, are you up for company?

Adamas [still late on 12]: It happens to be a freshly cleaned and oiled shotgun he's got in his hands, and he glances around with unfocused eyes.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Watching as Adam goes all military mode, speaking clearly. "Ingvar. That you at the door?"

Adamas [still late on 12]: 9,9,7,4,6,

Angelia Caponelli: Ang moves slowly to the window trying to get a sight down towards the door.

Adamas [still late on 12]: He seems to stare ~through~ the floor toward the front door for a long moment, then slowly turns a 180, looking with unfocused eyes all around the ground level, then doing the same for the second floor level that they're on, then looking up.

Adamas [still late on 12]: ((You can't see the front door from the master bedroom. The door is in the center of the east side of the building and the master bedroom is on the second floor of the south side of the building.))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She's not freaking yet. Hell, with the two in the room going into Special Ops sweeps, she probably couldn't be safer if she tried.

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: Yes... *A note of slight concern threatens to make him human as he looks up toward the window and gives a short, regal wave.*

Angelia Caponelli: She looks back to Reyna as she hears mention of Ingvar and waits on an answer.

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: ((dlp))

Adamas [still late on 12]: ((Tho Ang does see a wonderful view of part pasture, part woods, part the tributary of the Hudson. And a little sliver of the kennels below.))

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: Yes... *A note of slight concern threatens to make him human as he looks around again.*

Adamas [still late on 12]: He growls in frustration and annoyance, saying "There's only one I can see. At the door."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Good, then, Ingvar. You're at the door. It's good to know that it's you at the door." Said as she looks Adam's way, clearly speaking to him and not the phone.

Angelia Caponelli: (*G*) She looks over the area and then pads to the door, pushing it open, peeking out, gun in each hand. "Is it Ingvar?"

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: mm. Indeed.. *He steps aside from the door, leaning his back against the wall as he cants an eyebrow and pale eyes swivel to the side slightly.. expecting a hail of bullets to take the door off with all the easy aplomb of someone waiting for the sneak preview at the movies.*

Adamas [still late on 12]: "Ingvar," he scowls and rises, heading out the door, shotgun lowered but still in hand. He pads down the stairs and across the painted concrete floor, pausing to flip on the lights before moving to the door and unlocking it.

Angelia Caponelli: ANg nods and grabs Trevor's shirt, pulling it on as she trails after him, the guns just vanishing back into her.

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *He steps in front of the door and opens it, taken aback slightly. His eyes sweep across naked Adam with a shotgun for a moment.* All the signs of undue haste... certain you do not want to shoot me?

Angelia Caponelli: (doors locked)

Adamas [still late on 12]: He throws the door open and turns away from it, stalking off toward the lab room. He's utterly naked, safe for the Mossberg pistol grip Home Defender shot gun in his left hand. His skin is smooth, perfectly unblemished, and a few shades lighter than that golden Mas tone.

Adamas [still late on 12]: "Don't tempt me," he says, staring at the lab door.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She grabs the duster and slides it on, buttoning it up on the way down, still holding the phone. "So, Ingvar, how've you been? Having a good night?" All said into the phone as she comes into view of the man.

Adamas [still late on 12]: 7,9,7,4,5,

Angelia Caponelli: Ang's standing there in a shirt too big for her and the silver collar. She eyes Ingvar, "Probably should have called ahead." She waves him on inside.

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *After another glance around the interior he steps in as well, closing and locking the door behind him.*

Adamas [still late on 12]: ((per+alert))

Angelia Caponelli: 5,10,9,7,6,6,

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *He cants his head slightly and nods.* So... it would seem. *he clears his throat briefly, coming inside and draping a coat increasingly unnecessary across the back of a chair.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 8,4,9,1,7,7,

Angelia Caponelli: Ang looks a little pouty as the chaperion's crashed the party. Not that Trevor was in a party mood any way but still.

Adamas [still late on 12]: Ang hears the faint 'shunk' of a bolt unlocking, tho Adam doesn't physically use any means to unlock the lab door. He opens the door and disappears inside.

Angelia Caponelli: Her head turns and she frowns, padding off after Trevor, "Love?"

Adamas [still late on 12]: Reyna hears/sees the same thing

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: 7,7,5,4,3,8,

Adamas [still late on 12]: as does Ingvar

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She's taking things in stride, as per the usual. Chaperone's here, sure. But just means you gotta spike the punch.

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *After a moment's consideration, he decides to follow.* You know, this we could perhaps have handled on the phone.. does he have one? *Directed to Reyna's back as he follows*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Aye, cap'n." Thrown over her shoulder while she follows Angelia and Adam.

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *Something occurs to him, and he follows more intently.*

Adamas [still late on 12]: Those who open the lab door find the bed (bed is back up in Master bedroom) and woodstove (back in parlor) have been moved out, and the desk and chair as well. The only furniture in here is the couch. The doors to the rest of the lab complex are closed, their windows obscured. The shotgun is on one of the counters and Adam is going through the cupboards, pulling down a bottle of Glenfiddich.

Adamas [still late on 12]: He glances at the door when Reyna opens it and grudgingly pulls down glasses for the rest of them, as well.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks around as she walks in. "Wow. Love what you've done with the place, babe."

Angelia Caponelli: She leans back against the wall watching him, "Trevor?" She asks. "Do the spirits here afford you some control over this building?"

Adamas [still late on 12]: He scowls at Reyna's attempt at humor and pours her a glass, then pours one for Ang and Ingvar before pouring one for himself. He moves away from the two glasses on the counter, and takes his own glass, tucking the bottle up under his armpit as he reaches for the shotgun again.

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *He passes by Reyna, looking at Adam's face closely.* How did you do that? *a moment of consideration, apparently continuing an earlier conversation.* You do not think it is a bit light?

Adamas [still late on 12]: "No," he replies to Ang. "They have agreed to secure the lab for me."

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *He reaches out to sweep the glass off the counter with the easy familiarity of a solid drinker and drains half.*

Adamas [still late on 12]: He glances over at Ingvar, mouth quirking up at the corner. "Well, the first step is to get a Crinos werewolf to slam you upside the head and drive all the implants that were fixed to the bone into your sinuses..."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She takes the glass and nods. "Thanks." She sips at it, listening quietly for the moment.

Angelia Caponelli: "You saw through the walls though." She notes as she takes a glass.

Adamas [still late on 12]: "Because, well...the cheekbones and part of the nasal cavity get crushed from that kind of impact, and then of course there's the concussion..."

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *He quirks an eyebrow, perhaps giving the man a bit of respect, all things considered* I do think coloring would be a somewhat tertiary concern, yes... *pale eyes sweep his face for some sign of bone damage.* indeed.. well. Lighting is often off with these things.

Adamas [still late on 12]: "Then, after you subdue the werewolf and the rest of his sentai, you drag the one bloody werewolf who used to be an ally into your speedboat and you motor off to Liberty Island and hope you don't die of shock before you can get a surgeon to remove all the broken bits while you send the Body of Harmony out to see how many you fucking killed."

Angelia Caponelli: She frowns as she watches Adam.

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *a bit of humor slipping through as he sits* Then of course, some surgeon proceeds to re construct the planes and cavities of the skull with no concern as to his patient's plans for it. I understand. *He settles himself on the couch, taking another sip.*

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: All things considered.. *He looks closely at Adam again.* They did a good job.

Adamas [still late on 12]: "Then, when you get to the surgeon's apartment--after passing out a few times along the way--you undergo some very painful surgery on a dining room table to remove all the broken implants from your sinus cavity and since you're too fucking weak for the rest of the bits to go, you get to walk around like bloody Janus with two fucking different faces while you go save the idiot Mage's life because, well, after assisting the surgeon with the surgery, he suddenly takes issue with the surgeon being from the Union and he escalates the situation to the point said surgeon both tranqs him and shoots him in the thigh, and then he fucking teleports out."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "In other words, you have a very busy night."

Urgahaldt [12th]: *He tastes the scotch, listening.*

Adamas [still late on 12]: "So, after all ~that~ fun, you get to go negotiate with the fucking idiot Mage to keep him from gathering his friends up to go kill the surgeon, while your face is still pushme-pullyou, because, well, you need the fucking surgeon alive to take the implants out of the other half of your face."

Adamas [still late on 12]: "No, this was just my saturday night, I've not even touched on the rest of the fucking week."

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *He quirks an eyebrow* In this case, we need to resume working on your vacation. *He flicks a bit of something from his sleeve.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She sighs and takes a lean against the wall. This could take a while.

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *He drapes one leg over the other, cradling the drink in his hand as he speaks. Nude people, the activities he may very well have interrupted, none of it seems to affect him in the least.*

Angelia Caponelli: She just sips her drink as she watches and listens.

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: As a brief aside, I would like to aquire another of those phones, to maintain contacts we may very well need in future. *His gaze takes in the other three idly before he speaks again.*

Angelia Caponelli: "I left one for you at the builidng Ingvar."

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *He holds it up for a moment.* Which I have- and thank you. I had meant a second, if one would be possible.

Angelia Caponelli: "I'll get you one when we go back home."

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *He nods* thank you. *His attention swivels back to Trevor.* My negotiations on your behalf have hit something of a wall we should talk about when you are comfortable.

Adamas [still late on 12]: He gulps the scotch down, and pours himself more, not seeming to either notice or care that he's nude. After a bit of a pause where he stares brooding into the glass, and very much as if he's not really aware the rest of them are in the room, he continues, talking to himself...or perhaps an invisible friend. "Because then...then, you see, while you're off setting things right, the surgeon--the fucking black surgeon, who you've grown to trust and maybe even regard with some small affection ~despite~ the fact she fucking raped you in your sleep--then the bitch comes back with a different fucking face."

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *He narrows his eyes slightly, canting his head and listening.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Her gaze moves to Adam, watching him curiously.

Angelia Caponelli: She rubs the back of her neck as she watches Trevor monologuing.

Adamas [still late on 12]: "And fucking ~piercings~. Fucking piercings." He shakes his head as if he can't believe that, eyes flashing with that smoldering heat that might ramp up to insanity mode at any moment.

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: Indeed. *He breaks in in a smooth, rumbling bass.* What are the chances this doctor has become infected as well?

Angelia Caponelli: "Love?"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Adam...babe." She looks at him. "Easy there, tiger. Take it easy, a'ight?"

Adamas [still late on 12]: He glares hard into his glass and he doesn't appear to have heard Ingvar for a long moment. "She was infected. She was cleansed when we both were captured by the Union."

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *He tilts his head a bit, watching.*

Angelia Caponelli: Ang pushes off the wall and sets her glass aside, walking over to him making sure she's coming at him from an angle where he can see her.

Adamas [still late on 12]: He regards Ang as she approaches him, and the look on his face is fierce, intense. It appears oddly like hatred, tho something else seems to mitigate that.

Adamas [still late on 12]: "I think we've moved up to...Monday night..."

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *He leans foreward slightly... watching Trevor intently... in only moments the man could explain so much through simple reactions. It seems almost a matter of personal importance for Ingvar to catch precisely what happens next.. but the way he looks at the woman seems hauntingly familiar.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She stays back, for now. No need for him to feel cornerned. Just watching, sipping from her glass.

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *He files that away.. glancing at Angelia for some sign of understanding that statement.*

Angelia Caponelli: She reaches over to touch his arm lightly, looking up at him. Where she in lupos she might rub up against him, it's the same sort of touching, that 'I'm here' sort of comforting caress.

Adamas [still late on 12]: 1,

Adamas [still late on 12]: 8,3,5,4,3,9,5,

Adamas [still late on 12]: At her touch there's a sudden shift in his eyes, which go brighter, flaring with that full blown madness from earlier. His cheeks twitch, his breath going into labored chuffs. He swings the shotgun at Ang and smacks it into her. It's not clear if he's trying to hurt her or force her to take it from him. Probably both.

Adamas [still late on 12]: 8,9,4,9,6,1,8,

Adamas [still late on 12]: 6,5,5,9,4,4,

Adamas [still late on 12]: ((2 Lethal, Ang, you can soak))

Angelia Caponelli: 2,6,

Angelia Caponelli: She grunts and grabs for the gun to pull it back from him.

Adamas [still late on 12]: ((init))

Adamas [still late on 12]: 5,

Adamas [still late on 12]: (13)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: SHe springs into action, thankful, once again, that her duster is dedicated. She'd hate to have to buy a new one weekly. She moves to snatch the shotgun from him, in Manabozho form.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 2,

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((8))

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *He coils slightly, but does not yet move.. as neither Reyna or Ang seem overly alarmed.. who knows what its like sharing a bed with a madman?*

Angelia Caponelli: 1,

Angelia Caponelli: (6)

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *The lines of his form ripple into (fair) Glabro- not shredding, but certainly straining the lines of his suit.*

Adamas [still late on 12]: Ingvar watches as Ang and Reyna both grab the shotgun. Adam releases it, and stands there, eyes blazing, body trembling, cheeks twitching as he tries to stave off the madness long enough for the women to get to safety.

Angelia Caponelli: Ang backs up quickly, pulling the gun behind her and out of sight.

Adamas [still late on 12]: "Fucking women..." he says, advancing on Ang with a murderous look in his eyes. "Fucking weak, manipulative cunts."

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *He watches with strange interest on now less- human features... but oddly, there is a sort of relief in his slightly glazed eyes... more makes sense.. at least a little more.*

Adamas [still late on 12]: He seems, strangely, to ignore Reyna and Ingvar in their shifted forms, as if they don't exist, and stalks after Ang with focused, predatory rage.

Adamas [still late on 12]: 8,3,3,6,8,2,

Adamas [still late on 12]: He swings at her, and it's clear he means to beat her to death.

Angelia Caponelli: She frowns up at him. "I'll shoot you again Trevor." She warns, her hand slipping under her shirt.

Adamas [still late on 12]: (roll dodge if dodging Ang)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She moves in behind Trevor, attempting to cold-cock him.

Angelia Caponelli: (She's nod dodging, she's pulling out her gun either gonna shoot him or kick it to Reyna)

Adamas [still late on 12]: ((So she's pulling one gun out while still holding the shotgun or did she let Reyna take the shotgun since they were both holding it?))

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *He tilts his head slightly, taking another sip of the drink and smoothing away the threat of rage that always seems to come with the shifting of forms... his hands move dextrously across his form, shifting a straining lapel, or smoothing a crease.. the same odd inner light never quite leaving his eyes.*

Adamas [still late on 12]: 8,8,3,2,6,2,

Angelia Caponelli: (She was holding the shot gun behind her back with her off hand and going for the tranq with her right hand cause she's not going to blow his guts out with a shot gun)

Adamas [still late on 12]: His center knuckle strikes Ang hard in the larynx since she's not dodging,((3 Lethal Ang, you can soak, but then roll STA to stay on your feet))

Angelia Caponelli: 3,10,

Angelia Caponelli: 2,10,

Angelia Caponelli: (one succ each)

Adamas [still late on 12]: ((so you're at 4 lethal, Ang. Wound penalties apply))

Adamas [still late on 12]: ((roll for the cold cocking Reyna))

Angelia Caponelli: Ang pulls up the gun to shoot him with a dart. ( at 3 leathal I soaked one from the gun hitting her too. At least I get a point blank bonus)

Angelia Caponelli: 4,5,7,9,5,2,

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 3,9,9,3,9,4,10,5,

Adamas [still late on 12]: ((You can't pull a gun and fire in the same round without the Gift Trick Shot or the Fast Draw skill))

Angelia Caponelli: (gotcha sorry I thought we were forward further. I'll hold for next round)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 4,1,3,3,3,7,9,8,

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *He is roused from the reverie by the increasing fervor of the small knot of people before him.. loathe to intervene yet, he watches closely.. specifically, the shot gun.*

Adamas [still late on 12]: Not apparently seeing Reyna, he doesn't react to her positioning herself to hit him. (you have -2 to the diff for back attack so 6 sux Reyna)

Adamas [still late on 12]: ((you add 5 to your STR for the damage pool))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 1,8,

Adamas [still late on 12]: 6,2,5,4,

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *He takes another sip of the drink, then begins to unbutton his suit coat, laying it aside gingerly before starting to work on his cufflinks..*

Adamas [still late on 12]: The blow doesn't knock him out but does stun him for a turn.

Angelia Caponelli: Ang shoots him while he's stunned!

Angelia Caponelli: 2,7,9,8,9,6,

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *He cocks an eyebrow, looking up in muted suprise as Angelia's shot blares through the small room. As he blinks away the ringing in his ears, he considers how far S&M has come since the days of the love smack or two... hmm...*

Angelia Caponelli: (with the dart lets be clear)

Adamas [still late on 12]: 4,8,2,10,

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: ((oh- thanks.*L* Edit last post for dart gun))

Adamas [still late on 12]: He grunts as the dart hits him. (roll damage for dart 2x...one pool is 4 (the extra sux) and constitutes physical damage from being at point blank. one pool is 5 for the actual tranq)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: SHe's holding her action, to see if he goes down to the dart gun. Ready to try and cold cock him again if he doesn't.

Angelia Caponelli: 6,4,4,4,

Angelia Caponelli: 6,6,3,5,2,7,

Adamas [still late on 12]: ((one Lethal from the dart, 3 bashing from the drug))

Adamas [still late on 12]: He growls, just standing there, trying to shake off the blow and the effects of the tranq. "You fucking bitch..." he snarls at Ang. And then slowly falls to his knees.

Angelia Caponelli: She keeps the gun trained on his chest, ready to do him again if she has to. "Ingvar there's a bag of chains out by the car. Please go get it."

Adamas [still late on 12]: (another 3 bashing from the drug...) "You selfish, traitorous cunt..." he says, and then his eyes roll up and he falls face first against her.

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *He blinks at the woman, then rises from his seat* Certainly. *Spoken as though asked to bring the woman a coctail. He makes his way outside.*

Adamas [still late on 12]: ((Thought the chains are still out around the picnic table in the open area.))

Angelia Caponelli: (Change that to the picnic table then)

Angelia Caponelli: (I forgot where they left them)

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *He does close the door quietly behind him and goes in search of these... chains.*

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *several minutes later, he returns with them in tow, though held in one hand rather than slung over a shoulder. The shirt is nice, after all.*

Angelia Caponelli: Ang keeps the gun on him till he's out. "I'm sorry Reyna. I was trying to comfort him."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She sighs, looking down at him, speaking in her low voice. "You know, I've always hated the C-word..." She picks him up, carrying him over to the couch and setting him gently on it.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ""It's okay, babe. Not your fault." She shifts back down to Homid, opening her duster a little at the top buttons...damn thing was a little restricting, all of a sudden.

Angelia Caponelli: She sighs softly and nods. "I don't know what we should do. We can't leave him like this."

Adamas [still late on 12]: He's unconscious for probably 30 minutes. you can roll dex+security again to see if you secure him properly.

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *He wordlessly holds out the chains to whomever may want them.*

Angelia Caponelli: 9,9,3,4,

Adamas [still late on 12]: Ang thinks that's secure. Tho if she really wants ot make sure she should work a bit longer at it.

Angelia Caponelli: 6,6,8,8,

Adamas [still late on 12]: Now she's sure. *G*

Adamas [still late on 12]: Feel free to talk or do something while he's unconscious. *G*

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *Pale eyes pass from one to the other of them, weighing the potential for impropriety against the desire to know things. In the end, he remains quiet, though deference settles on his shoulders strangely, as though the silence were a conscious decision.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "He's afraid, babe. Afraid that he'll be taken. That he can't do this, that he's weak and going to fail. He's just covering for it with all that gruff."

Angelia Caponelli: "We can't leave him like this."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods. "I agree, we can't. But what do we do?"

Angelia Caponelli: She frowns, "Do we know of any safe places the asians don't know about?"

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: My own suggestion would be that this is a good time to turn him over to Jinchiro. *He pauses to look between them.* We have the majority of them cleansed- or at least incommunicado due to apparent coma.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She frowns, thinking.

Angelia Caponelli: (brb)

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *He looks back down at the man.* He cannot operate here forever without eventually facing what we all agreed he would.

Angelia Caponelli: (WOOT got a job interview on tues)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She's quiet, hearing Ingvar's words but not responding, staring at Adam, her mind working.

Adamas [still late on 12]: (yay! good for you))

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *He looks between the two of them, showing a bit of regard for a moment before speaking further.* To continue... with a majority of the elders either cleansed or down completely, I would be willing to gamble that their punishment will be less severe.

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: ((sweet*G*))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Awesome!))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "And if they try to send him up on new charges for putting the bitch and her big furry in a coma? What then?"

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: Those who have been cleansed already know the truth of things. I doubt they would be willing to invite further disgrace by opening that for inspection again. *He regards her evenly, simply answering back as she questions things.*

Angelia Caponelli: (getting details sorry)

Adamas [still late on 12]: ((dropping nick so as to not time out))

Angelia Caponelli: (back! though I have to go shortly) "If we take him back to the KR building the General will turn him back over to the courts."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "That's what Ingvar's suggesting, babe. That we turn him over to Jinchiro, and then let Jinchiro turn him over to the Courts." She says it calmly, neither letting support or opposition enter her voice, staring at the unconscious Adam.

Angelia Caponelli: She shakes her head, "No. We can't do that."

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *He looks at Angelia, waiting for her to explain.* Please expound on your concerns. That is what this discussion is for.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks up from Adam, looking to Angelia, the opposition, and Ingvar, the support. As struggle wages behind her eyes, recognizing the benefits, but held back by her deep love for the man and her desire to not see him get harmed again.

Angelia Caponelli: "He needs to be free so that he can serve as a distraction for the Doctor. But we need to heal him up quickly so he can be of a mind set to fulfill that role. I'm going to suggest sending him to Finger Lakes, having the children of guy tend to him until the weekend and that then we immediately go after the doctor."

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: You are certain that delay is not simply an outgrowth of your feelings? Considering that we have brought down several of the doctors more potent agents, consider that distraction is no longer a possibility... we have Malcom to bring us to him, after all..

Angelia Caponelli: "I was under the impression that the idea was for Trevor to distract the doctor long enough for us to find Malcolm."

Angelia Caponelli: "If we don't need to use my mate as bait lets just drop him off some where safe and go get the basterd today. I'm all for."

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: Karlos assures me that he will be able to track Malcom through Rose.. so considering that this is taken care of, we must at this point look to our own standing... and our purpose. We swore, Angelia, to abide by the Court's ruling. While they were corrupt, of course we could justify keeping him from them. But at this point, our own face, and our word, is easily called into question by withholding him.

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: Not to mention that the Snakes also look for us to do the right thing... to show that as their champions before the courts and before Firesnake that we are trustworthy, and one can place faith in our mettle. Part of our purpose for forming a sentai was to unite the foes of the Wyrm... it stands against the main precept for the Body to continue to hide him.

Angelia Caponelli: "Can we please just keep him until the doctor is dead? There are still those who are corrupt with in the courts. Once he's dead and we are able to cleans him then we can argue fair punishment for him but they'll just put him back into the ground as things stand."

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *He watches her closely.* Immediately after the doctor dies, you will agree to do what we must? However we go about it, you will stand behind the idea that we must one way or another turn him in?

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She sighs, reaching up to scratch the back of her neck, looking from one to the other. Logic versus feeling. She shakes her head, sighing, as she pulls a cigarette, lighting it and using the nicotine to clear her mind of clutter a little.

Angelia Caponelli: "Yes, if you promise to fight for him in the courts."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods. "Yeah, I'm down with that, myself. If we fight for him."

Angelia Caponelli: "I mean pulling out all the stops. We won't let them inflict unfairness on him again. We will find a resolution that allows for them to save face and all our honor to be restored."

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: *He nods to that* Very well. Done. *He pats her shoulder briefly* Thank you, Angelia.

: ((so...what are you guys doing with him until then?))

Angelia Caponelli: She nods. (I think we'll drive him up to fl /if/ they're willing to guard him there)

Angelia Caponelli: (unless some one else has a brilliant idea)

Angelia Caponelli: (we could take him to some where umbral too if either of you can think of safe places in the umbra for him. I"m just drawing a blank at the moment)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((No ideas that Reyna knows about. *S*))

: ((FL does not want him. He's still somewhat tainted and they are taking ~no~ chances on getting infected as their totem is the Voice of the Nation and so could potentially infect a large portion of the populace if it gets algorithmed, and Fausto has been associated with infections in other people such as Jer and Lex))

Angelia Caponelli: (Singha have we forgotten to mention any safe places we should know about? We could take him to Roses land but I don't think we can get to Rose Island with him)

Angelia Caponelli: (ah scratch that then)

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: ((the same cell in the concerto where we all were? I mean, if we could figure a way to smuggle him through there.))

: ((You can take him to CP and ask them to hold him, you can unchain him and leave him here to his own devices, or you can see if the General will hold him until the doc has been neutralized, or you could turn him over to Sonja or someone else, or you could try and take him to somewhere umbrally))

Angelia Caponelli: (yeah if Karlos will let us take him to the Concerto we might as well. I know that he doesn't want to go there but it's just for a few days.)

Angelia Caponelli: (I say ask Karlos first and if he says no take him to the general (reluctantly))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((No chance of smuggling him in, no. *S* Reyna doesn't like those choices...she heavily dustrusts the Elders in CP for obvious reasons, leaving him here is bad, General puts them in a delicate situation if he says no, and anything is is too risky or an unknown. Reyna suggests waking his ass up and asking him if he knows of anywhere else. *Shrug*))

: ((but frankly, storywise and totally OOC, I'd prefer you either turned him over to the General or let him loose, since the other options effectively hamstring him until you guys are able to resolve the doc thing.))

Angelia Caponelli: (*nods* yeah they can just wake him up and ask him Reyna. He's probably gonna wake up before they're done)

: But Karlos is okay too, inasmuch as that at least gives me the opportunity to RP with you guys. *G*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((KAR-LOS!! KAR-LOS!! KAR-LOS!! *G*))

: ((So ask Troo. *G*))

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: ((I mention the Concerto for an IC reason, sorry.))

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: ((yes! rp wif us*L*))

: ((and frankly, I think Reyna and Ang know that a) if Adam wanted you to know about any other safe places, he would have told you about them so waking him up and asking him is a fruitless exercise and b) given his level of current psychosis, he's likely to either lie to them to get an opportunity to escape or kill them.))

Angelia Caponelli: (that was my idea. :) So Reyna can you hammer that out with Troo I have to go and I won't be back till tomorrow night)

Angelia Caponelli: (Nods that's what I'm was thinking drug him, keep him bound and take him to a warded place I know is loaded up with restraints and such. Thank you Inggy for suggesting it)

Angelia Caponelli: (Please stress the 'insane' and 'not to be trusted' factors Reyna!)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Will do.))

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: ((Ingvar, for his part, suggests they simply take him- times a wastin and all that, since Karlos has more than enough room.))

Angelia Caponelli: (*nods* Alright I'm outtie. See you all tomorrow)

Ingvar Urgahaldt [12th]: ((later*G*))
