((grr, trying to post this for the fourth time...))
pop!
Dani appears in the kitchen, having been shopping to replenish what the Twibbles ate, carrying a couple of bags that say "Mall of Acronymia" on them. Hearing Sam's voice from the great room, she pauses before carefully setting the bags down, listening in.
Really? How did you manage that? Go to their home and bash them in the heads until they begged?
Sam laughs, melodiously. Oh no, I just gave this God full domain over me.
Dani, hiding behind the row of spice jars that seperate the kitchen counter from the rest of the room, clamps her hand over her mouth to stifle a gasp...
You did WHAT?
{{Dani, Daisuke can tell that you're there}}
Sam just rolls her eyes.
Samantha, this is serious. Isn't it, Dani?
Thanks for blowing my cover...
Dani pops up over said spice jars, propping herself on the counter.
I'm glad your memories are back Sam, but yeah...isn't selling your soul something terrible? I'll help you get it back though!
Sam sighs and, to make the point that this isn't something that needs to be discussed, undoes her holster with an audible snap.
And I can ask for some... help. I am not the only Captain of the Gotei 13
{{Yes, I had this idea when I first read the post where you sold Sam's soul. When it actually happens, it will be epic. But this is the second "rescue Sam" arc we've done. }}
A seriously hurt expression crosses Dani's face, just for an instant...
Before she turns away and starts putting her groceries into the freezer.
Ignoring Daisuke for a few seconds, Sam rolls off the couch and crosses the room in a few swift strides. Dani...
Daisuke is not letting this go.
And like it or not, Sam, I will do this. You have no idea of what somone might do with your soul, and you are trading a potential eternity for a moment of happiness now!
I never thought that you would be so weak as to take this path. Never.
Dani, busy loading tins of lasagna into the freezer, looks back over her shoulder at Sam, her expression carefully neutral, but her eyes betraying her feelings. Yes, Sam?
Mint enters the kitchen.
Looking into Dani's eyes regretfully, Sam calls back to Daisuke. Histor, a God. He lives at the river Lethe. Go talk to him if you want.
((I actually have a thread for that place...))
Then she tries to pcik up Dani, sling her across her back, and walk towards the door.
Eeek! Dani, taken completely by surprise, is quickly swept off her feet and deposited on Sam's back, where she can't help but giggle. Where'r you taking me?
She waves at Mint as best she can, not being able to help grinning a little.
Oh, I will. But first, why are you trying to carry Dani out the door?
Daisuke also pulls out a mobile phone, of all things.
{{Which door?}}
The tavern. I owe you a life story, and I need to be drunk to tell it. Sam chuckles and walks out.
((Deadtime, I'll post at the Taverna when I get back. Horngeek: Lethe's Mouth is a thread on the 5th page in this section. Assuming your character can teleport there, just post and I'll get back to you later.))
And to the Taverna the tiny redhead is carried off.
{{He can't teleport, but he can use high-speed movment}}
Daisuke talks into the mobile phone
This is 5th squad Captain Hayashi, requesting assistance. Can I please speak to Captain-Commander Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai?
He then speaks quietly but rapidly into the mobile phone for a few minutes, and anyone who has good enough hearing to hear the other side's voice will hear an old man. Eventually, he hangs up.
That went quite well. This guy will have quite a suprise.
He then disappears.
Quinn, meanwhile, is finally going to get out of bed in the Infirmary.
"Feeling better?" Susan asks again.
Much better, thank you. Quinn smiles and starts to stretch, then winces and thinks better of it. Thank you again for getting me out of there. I was sure I was going to die.
"No problem." says Susan. "You would have done the same."
Phoenix is back in the Great Room, not with his harp, but on the piano, playing a particularly harsh piece on death and destruction, with underpinnings of dirty-dealings and mob-mentality, with just a little hint of-
...
You know what? You're reading too much into this. It's just a bunch of notes played in sequence within a specific time-frame.
And, because I can't be bothered playing a character I'll be keeping, a Nac Mac Feegle appears!
And then a Security MKII Drone rolls over it with its wheel. Oops. Didn't see you there. Sorta busy trying to protect the base against angry mobs, y'know?
(inserts 'attempts' where appropriate)
The Nac Mac feegle is run over. Now it isn't a happy Nac Mac Feegle.
"Ach, Tak a face full o' heid! It yelled as it attempted to crawl up to drone and headbutt it.
That may be problematic, as said drone lacks a head, instead having a broad, armored chest with a cylon-esque eye inset into it. So headbutting may hurt. The drone wheels around maniacally, attempting to shoot the Nac Mac Feegle off with low-powered lazer blasts, while screaming
GETITOFF! GETITOFF!
And Phoenix suddenly gets ambushed by a deadtime ooze, because this is too hilarious to be stopped. Poor Phoenix. He gets no lahvs.
