Sime/Gen Roleplaying: Bender Cove Township Scenario
Episode #109: (12/24/97)
Alea comes down the stairs to go eat breakfast.
Alea changes her mind and decides to use her breakfast time for a walk and goes to the door and snatches up her cloak.
Briel smiles at Nick thinking he is making a better Donor than she had thought he would.
Briel nods.
Briel: Okay.
Wise Snake stands.
Briel bemoans the fact that she only had one month with Nick and thinks he'll be a heck of a Donor one day, easily outmatching her.
Nick does also.
Briel: I'll see you then.
Briel glances at Snake, nodding.
Wise Snake's eyes flicker toward Briel's as the other channel's attention goes to Nick, but then she smoothes her feathers as she realizes Briel knows Nick is not available.
Wise Snake leaves the room quickly.
Nick follows.
Briel sighs and sits back down to work.
Alea scans the folders, working as quickly as possible so she can get out and have a break.
Wise Snake trudges back toward the front of the Sime Center.
Nick follows.
Alea separates the folders as "done" and boring, then picks up the done ones and goes to the desk clerk.
Wise Snake and Nick enter the lobby.
Alea eyes widen with dismay and distress.
Nick moves between Alea and Snake.
Alea shoves the folders at the clerk and turns, making a beeline back to her office.
Wise Snake remembers that Briel told Alea to stay away from Snake, and doesn't want to mess up Alea's orders, so doesn't say anything to her.
Alea grabs at her office door quickly twisting it before shoving at it and darting inside.
Wise Snake and Nick leave the Center.
Alea quickly shuts the door behind her.
Alea waits for several moments before she peeks back out.
Alea sighs in relief and slips out deciding she IS going for a walk.
Alea grabs up her cloak and skates, and leaves the Center.
Alea goes to the pond outside of town that she visits occasional and sits down to put her skates on, relieved that no one is around.
Alea stands and wobbles onto the ice.
Alea slowly begins to skate.
Jules Dist coughs.
Jules Dist shivers at the cold thinking she should have waited to come back to this area until she was thinking more clearly.
Piotr Rava has been travelling cross country for some time.
Jules Dist ~~ anger hatred~~
Piotr Rava sits atop the horse, scanning the country side.
Piotr Rava thinks that even with Sme capabilities, she can't be much ahead of him any longer.
Alea works hard, concentrating, falling occasionally until she gets the hang of iceskating.
Jules Dist pulls her cloak closer about her as she thinks of the new year coming and that he won't be there with her.
Preege's hounds scent the prey at last, and start moaning and pulling on the leashes.
Jules Dist wants to find information so she can take back to her friends and they can see justice done against the people who killed her...
Jules Dist sighs.
Preege: Thav! Come here!
Thavulke nudges his horse over to where Preege is standing.
Thavulke: What is it now?
Piotr Rava has been trusting his insincts. He has been able to run across some sign of her passing along the way, but always days behind.
Preege: They're onto her. I swear it. [holds up the rag of jule's prison clothes, that was used for the scent]
Thavulke's eyes light up.
Jules Dist goes over to a big bolder and sinks down against it, sighing.
Thavulke: Finally something is going right.
Thavulke: Well, what are you doing standing there? Release them, man!
Preege: Yes, sir.
Jules Dist: Oh, Carlen, I miss you.
Preege releases the two bloodhounds.
Piotr Rava finds sign of Jules passing again, fresher than before. He thinks that she must be slowing down finally.
Piotr Rava is alarmed when he runs across sign of two riders, and some dogs appearing to follow the same path.
Jules Dist rubs at her tired eyes trying to concentrate.
Jules Dist: Sleep...sleep.
Jules Dist: Should have stopped and rested some.
Piotr Rava spurs the horse a little faster, watching the tracks.
Jules Dist head snaps up at the sound of baying in the distance.
Piotr Rava hears some dogs up ahead and doesn't like the sound of it.
Jules Dist stands, leaping up onto the rocks to zlin the area.
Preege unslings his rifle as the dogs begin to grow excited in their pursuit.
Thavulke urges his horse up beside Preege's.
Jules Dist slowly zlins, thinking it might be a hunter...
Thavulke: Make it quick, make it final. We don't want her kind making it any harder for us than it already is.
Preege: Yes, Sir.
Jules Dist spots the dogs and two Gens in the distance.
Jules Dist: THere is something....
Piotr Rava pushes the horse even faster, holding his field down despite his worries.
Jules Dist ~~confused~~
Jules Dist eyes widen.
Jules Dist: It can't be.
Preege and Thavulke follow the hounds as they close in on their prey.
Jules Dist is almost certain one of them was one who held her captive.
Jules Dist hesistates.
Jules Dist thinks it couldnt' happen twice.
Thavulke: There! [pointing] Did you see! There on the ridge!
Piotr Rava finds it very easy to follow the new tracks. They don't appear to be concerned with leaving any trace. A bad sign.
Jules Dist realizes she is a sitting duck if it is and jumps down from the boulder.
Thavulke: Just for a moment...
Preege: I saw, I saw.
Jules Dist zlins, wondering which way to go to avoid them and curses the snow and obvious trail she'll leave.
Thavulke: Don't let her get away!
Jules Dist: They're only stupid Gens....
Preege: I won't, sir.
Jules Dist turns and spints toward the trees int he distance.
Preege and Thavulke spur their horses to pursue as the hounds give chase.
Jules Dist wonders if she can outrun horses.
Jules Dist ducks into the tree line.
Jules Dist curses the fact that she is only a week from transfer
Preege sees their quarry disappear into the underbrush, and the hounds follow her in a few beats later.
Jules Dist: I hadn't planned on this Carlin!
Jules Dist ducks, rolling and coming up on her feet, running again.
Preege slows his mount as he reaches the forest shadow again.
Piotr Rava hears the sound of the dogs getting closer as he gains on them.
Jules Dist: I only wanted information, not confrontation. Shen! No transfer partner...not much selyn. Bad timing....
Thavulke catches up to him.
Thavulke: What are you waiting for?
Preege: We can't charge headlong into forest. Let the hounds do their work.
Jules Dist leaps over a low bush, burning up selyn at an incredible rate as she aguments to get away from the purusing hounds.
Jules Dist darts to the left, trying to keep track of the two men on the horse and the hounds that are on her heels.
Preege turns his horse into the forest, and follows the hounds at a moderate pace.
Jules Dist: Think!
Thavulke grits his teeth and follows.
Jules Dist dives under a low hanging branch.
Jules Dist: Think! Think!
Jules Dist decides as she turns sharply back to the left that the only way to get away now is to attack those two head on.
Jules Dist realizes with the dogs this close she won't get away, only augment herself into attrition.
Piotr Rava approaches a heavily wooded area.
Preege becomes suspicious when he realizes the quarry, with the dogs close behind, has doubled back in their direction.
Jules Dist zlins the two on horseback and quickly turns, kicking out at one dog
Jules Dist nods in satisfaction when it falls quiet.
Preege pulls his horse to a halt and signals Thav to wait.
Preege's horse stands still while he aims his rifle carefully in the direction of the approaching baying of one hound.
Jules Dist thinks once more ofh er husband, working up her rage, then puts on a burst of augmentation, her intil rising as she decides to kill at least one in her effort to take them both out.
Jules Dist: At least one will pay.
Jules Dist goes hyper.
Piotr Rava reaches the edge of the forest, sees the sign of the horses milling outside for a while then going in.
Piotr Rava enters the forest, following the spoor.
Jules Dist lunges into view, arms outstretched, leaping for Thavulk.
Piotr Rava hears the dogs and two voices in the distance.
Preege fires.
Piotr Rava hears a call of alarm a rifle discharge.
Piotr Rava pushes the horse full speed.
Jules Dist gasps, pain shooting through her...slamming into thavulk in a daze of pain.
Piotr Rava: [full speed for riding in the forest, at least]
Thavulke's horse rears back.
Jules Dist grabs at his arms, growling viciously.
Thavulke shreiks in a rather unmanly fashion.
Jules Dist falls off the horse, pulling thavulke with her.
Preege throws aside his rifle, snatches out his hunting knife, and throws himself on Briel's back.
Piotr Rava is heeless of light braches sweeping by him.
Piotr Rava can hear the struggle.
Jules Dist cries out in pain.
Piotr Rava hears the struggle.
Piotr Rava charges into the area.
Preege: Let him go, you filthy beast!
Jules Dist ~~need~~
Jules Dist ~~lifeforce leaking away~~
Preege slashes with the hunting knife.
Piotr Rava: Leave her alone!
Jules Dist loses her grip
Preege leaps back and tries to back away to face both the Sime and the new voice.
Jules Dist staggers up, hyperconscious, reaching out, staggering toward Preege.
Piotr Rava charges right up to them with the horse to cause greater confusion.
Piotr Rava: Jules!
Jules Dist ~~zlinning fields~~ ~~confusion/need~~
Piotr Rava leaps from the horse, his own knife in hand.
Thavulke crawls shakily toward his horse.
Piotr Rava takes a quick assessment of the situation.
Preege backs away, knife tip weaving warily, slick with Briel's blood.
Preege: ===Jules' blood, alas===
Jules Dist turns to Thavulke, zeoring in on the wounded terrified prey.
Jules Dist stalks him weakly.
Piotr Rava rushes to where Jules and the Gen are...
Preege sees Jules turn back toward his master and rushes her again, with the knife.
Preege: ~~desperation~~
Thavulke sees Briel coming and tries franticaly to climb on his horse, exciting the animal.
Jules Dist reaches out her shoulder burning....
Piotr Rava throws his knife, sending it for it's target.
Jules Dist hesistates bettween fear and desepration.
Preege: ====jules coming===
Preege's knife hand jerks as Piotr's dagger strikes his arm near the wrist; knife goes flying.
Preege yelps.
Jules Dist stiffens turning toward Preege and leaping toward him.
Piotr Rava looks to Jules. Now that he knows that there are two Gens, he lets his field show full strength.
Thavulke seizes his chance to drag himself the rest of the way onto his horse and wheel it around.
Jules Dist hesitates, her head snapping toward the other more powerful Gen.
Preege backs farther away.
Piotr Rava shows Jules promise, warmth, while watching the other two.
Jules Dist turns back toward Preege lunging.
Thavulke gallops away.
Preege: No!
Preege: ~despairing~
Piotr Rava rushes to intercept.
Preege tries to run.
Jules Dist reaches out.
Jules Dist grabs one arm, pulling the Gn around to her.
Preege snatches his skinning knife from his belt, and lunges wildly at Jules on the pivot of his caught arm.
Piotr Rava: Jules!
Jules Dist hisses as the knife catches her upper arm.
Jules Dist reaches out and catches preege's arm with the knife, crushing his wrist.
Piotr Rava makes it to them. He tries to intercede not only his field, but his body.
Preege shreiks.
Preege: ~~agony~~
Jules Dist snaps hyper.
Piotr Rava pushes hard to present a higher field.
Preege: ~~~terror~~~
Piotr Rava touches Jules' hand.
Piotr Rava begins to throb enticingly.
Jules Dist jerks, hesistates...
Jules Dist ~~wants to kill~~
Piotr Rava's field is rising just higher than the pain showfield of the other Gen.
Jules Dist ~~safety/piotr~~
Jules Dist turns toward Piotr, releasing the Gen and snatching at Pitor savagely.
Piotr Rava projects that what he has will meet her need better than this gen.
Jules Dist falls against him, grabbing fifth contact point.
Piotr Rava presents his arms while looking to the Gen, giving him a look of menace.
Preege staggers away, clutching the base of his crushed wrist with his other hand.
Jules Dist draws viciously.
Preege staggers toward his horse.
Jules Dist ~~need/pain~~
Piotr Rava sees the Gen stagger off through the corner of his eye, and so begins to focus on Jules.
Jules Dist ~~dark void~~
Piotr Rava offers just enough resistance that Jules has to pull to get it.
Jules Dist pulls the lifeforce into her body attacking it with all of her strength.
Piotr Rava holds a major part of his selyn apart to enhance Jules experience.
Jules Dist pulls to capacity, reaching pinnacle before slowing the flow.
Jules Dist drops her head to Piotr's shoulder, her lips sliding from his.
Jules Dist slowly slides down Pitor's body, her injuries sapping her of her strength.
Jules Dist shot in right shoulder and left arm is slashed.
Piotr Rava begins to direct his remaining selyn toward her wounds.
Piotr Rava begins to lay Jules down so he can go to the saddlebags to get some bandages and such.
Piotr Rava looks up. Sees no horse.
Piotr Rava: Shuven!
Piotr Rava is glad that Jules is hypo and didn't feel his exasperation.
Jules Dist ~~semiconscious~~ moans.
Piotr Rava looks down to Jules wounds. Pulls the clothing away to inspect the wounds.
Piotr Rava pulls at his shirt to rip strips.
Piotr Rava wads up some cloth against the wounds and then bandages them as best as he can under the circumstances.
Jules Dist hisses.
Jules Dist: Ah....
Piotr Rava looks to Jules face.
Jules Dist comes fully conscious.
Jules Dist: Piotr?
Piotr Rava: I'm sorry, Jules. I know it hurts.
Piotr Rava begins manipulating the selyn fields around Jules' wounds.
Jules Dist: I thought..you...a dream[gritted teeth]
Jules Dist: Thavulk, the shenned....found me...don't know....how.
Piotr Rava: No, I'm here.
Piotr Rava: It took me long enough to find you. Almost too late.
Jules Dist: Only..in--for....mation...not confron..ah..>!
Piotr Rava: Just relax.
Piotr Rava: I need to work on your wounds.
Jules Dist jerks, then tries to releax.
Jules Dist: You were looking? I...went...home.
Jules Dist focuses on breathing slowly
Jules Dist ~~bleeding slowing~~
Jules Dist notes the tattered shirt.
Jules Dist: You'll freeze here...take my cloak.
Alea finally gets the hang of it and continues to skate around the pond in circles, smiling as she tries to turn backward and falls on her bottom.
Alea: Ouch.
Piotr Rava: You can tell me how you got yourself in trouble later.
Piotr Rava: Don't worry about me right now, Jules.
Alea gets back up and skates in ever widening circles again...until she can succesfully turn backward.
Piotr Rava: We've got to stop the bleeding.
Jules Dist: I'll be..fine..let's get back to town.
Jules Dist forces herself up, swaying a bit at the blood loss.
Piotr Rava works to manipulate Jules' selyn in the area around the worse wound.
Piotr Rava: Lay down.
Jules Dist shakes her head.
Jules Dist: No, we have to get out of ehre before they come back.
Jules Dist sucks in a breath at the pain.
Piotr Rava creates a localized selyn poor area.
Piotr Rava: It will be academic if I let you die.
Jules Dist: I'm serious, Piotr..I remember what he did to me..and Carlin before...
Jules Dist: We've got to get out of here.
Jules Dist dead serious despite weakness.
Jules Dist: Find your horse.
Jules Dist: I'll be okay.
Piotr Rava then using his field to encourage regeneration as the selyn begins moving again.
Jules Dist ~~coagulation~~
Piotr Rava: I have a feeling that Thavulke has left, Jules. We still have some time.
Alea finishes and leaves, going back into town.
Alea feels renewed.
Alea swings her skate as she traipses through the streets of Bender Cove.
Piotr Rava: Ok, you stay right here, and I'll look for the horse.
Jules Dist nods.
Piotr Rava: Me begins to look to find the horse, hoping that she just wandered around a little.
Piotr Rava sees the sign of two horses, one being lead behind the other.
Piotr Rava: Shen!
Piotr Rava returns.
Jules Dist glances at Pitor.
Jules Dist: What?
Piotr Rava: Looks like your _friends_ took the horse with them.
Piotr Rava: You said there was a town around here?
Jules Dist blanches what he said.
Jules Dist looks oddly.
Jules Dist: Bender Cove..if you go back this way...evidently you've traveled in a big circle and not realized it.
Piotr Rava: I was hoping that there as somewhere closer.
Piotr Rava: It's going to be rough going on foot.
Piotr Rava: If we have to, we have to.
Jules Dist: I don't know...
Jules Dist: I came from...the other direction[winces as she moves]
Jules Dist: We could still be a bit further than I realized...I'm not the best tracker int he world.
Piotr Rava: One thing that perplexed me was WHY you came this way. I lost your trail for a couple of days when you turned off.
Jules Dist: I only know I was a day or two from Bender Cove when the scum fourn us the first time.
Piotr Rava: I see.
Jules Dist sighs.
Jules Dist: It doesn't matter.
Jules Dist: Let's just find the nearest town.
Jules Dist pushes painfully to her feet, gritting ehr teeth at the pain in her shoulder.
Alea goes back to the Center and up the steps, slipping quickly into her office.
Piotr Rava anticip.wav.
You are now known as Jemmi.
Piotr Rava: Well, I guess we should be on our way.
Jules Dist nods.
Jules Dist reaches out for Piotr.
Jemmi prances down the street smiling, intent on finding Snake.
Jemmi is a renSIme in need, smiling, her pony tail bouncing in cadence with other bouncing parts.
Piotr Rava works to ignore the fact that his middrif is a bit colder than normal since part of his outer shirt is now missing.
Piotr Rava tries to adjust his large cloak to compensate.
Jules Dist leans against Pitor and forces herself to walk while keeping her wits about her.
Jemmi's high heel shoes click down the street and she shivesr at the cold.
Jemmi blinks, thinking she should have made daddy give her more spending money so then she wouldn't have had to walk to find this person.
Jemmi isn't sure how much this person will charge for a "fun" transfer, but wants to try it.
Jemmi likes thrills.
Jemmi pauses at a tea shop showing the special emblem someone said this channel goes by.
Jemmi debates using some of the money she has in her purse, but wants to make sure she has more than enough.
Jemmi: Can you help me find this person?
Preege is now known as Pootwa.
Jemmi blinks slowly once, twice, then smiles sweetly at the person.
Jules Dist makes her way slowly to the road.
Pootwa is a striped-sock wearing, tube hat wearing, skank residing behind the counter of the tea shop.
Pootwa looks at Jemmi with a half-bored expression.
Pootwa: What person?
Jemmi points at the symbol...
Pootwa: Snake?
Jemmi: Goes by...rat, cat, ...Snake?
Jemmi: Yes Snake.
Jemmi giggles.
Jemmi: That's it.
Pootwa looks Jemmi over, not too impressed.
Jemmi: I knew it was some animal.
Jemmi wrinkles her nose.
Pootwa: You into animals or something?
Jemmi shrugs.
Piotr Rava: So, you want to tell me how you got yourself in trouble? ;-)
Jemmi: Not snakes..but others.
Pootwa's eyebrows shoot up.
Jules Dist gasps.
Pootwa has about 3 rings pierced through each.
Jemmi: We have so many...wahtever I want, daddy usually gets me.
Jemmi fronws.
Jemmi: He wouldn't get me the little weasal though.
Jemmi pouts.
Pootwa sneers.
Pootwa: Sure.
Jules Dist: I was on my way back to find information on the people who killed Carlin...for justice...
Pootwa: Well, you should try down by the old Ferry building. She's been seen around there a lot lately.
Jemmi: Oh.
Jemmi: It's soooo smelly down there.
Jemmi: Why would ANYONE want to go down there.
Pootwa thinks Snake will eat Jemmi for lunch... regrets being unable to come along to watch.
Jules Dist: I promised my house I'd be back.
Jules Dist: I only wanted information.
Jules Dist contineus to walk.
Piotr Rava: Hmmm....
Jemmi: I don't suppose someone could go fetch her gfor me?
Jemmi buffs her nails.
Jemmi: My shoes already have some scuffs on them from all the walking in this part of town.
Pootwa stares at Jemmi.
Jemmi glances up at Pootwa and smiles sweetly.
Jemmi: I am so excited.
Jemmi giggles.
Jemmi: I really want to talk to this..uh..snake person.
Jemmi giggles again.
Pootwa looks disgusted.
Pootwa: Why don't you go stand on a street corner and ask drivers for rides?
Pootwa: I'm sure someone would pick you up.
Jemmi blinks.
Jemmi: Really?
Jemmi awed.
Jemmi: You know, I didn't think about that.
Jemmi frowns.
Pootwa smiles internaly hoping somebody thinks Jemmi is a tramp.
Jemmi: YOu know, though, in this part of town their coaches would probably be just awful.
Jemmi: No, I would probably be better off walking.
Pootwa: Well... your choice, I'm sure.
Jemmi: Well, thank you so much.
Jemmi: Such a nice person.
Pootwa: Any time.
Jemmi thinks if not a trifle...dirty.
Jemmi shrugs.
Pootwa watches Jemmi leave, mystified as to how somebody so clueless could have survived long enough to get this far.
Jemmi clicks back out to the street and heads down the street toward the old ferry house.
Jules Dist blinks away the black spots.
Jules Dist: How much further do you sppose we have to go?
Jemmi clicks her way down the road downhill.
Jules Dist blinks at the sposts again then grabs at Pitor.
Jules Dist: Piotr!...I....
Piotr Rava holds Jules.
Jules Dist's eyes roll back in her head as darkness over takes her.
Jemmi walks two blocks before she decides pootwa proabably didn't know what she was talking about.
Jemmi goes up to a sailor who is standing outside a pub.
Jemmi thinks he looks trustworthy since he is waering a uniform.
Pootwa is now known as OneEye.
One Eye: Well hello, Girlie... [appreciatively]
Jemmi decides with one eye, he must be really old which means he knows everything in the area.
Jemmi: Hello there.
Jemmi smiles, dimpling.
Jemmi: I was wondering if you could help me.
One Eye: Well, I'm sure something could be arranged.
One Eye looks up and down, licks lips.
One Eye: What can I do ye for?
Piotr Rava looks Jules over. He does what he can to warm her up until he can get her conscious again. No need to ad disorientation to it all.
Jemmi holds out the piece of paper.
Jemmi: I'm looking for a Snake...
One Eye looks at the paper without taking it.
Jules Dist responds to Piotr's field and slowly opens her eyes.
Jules Dist: Oh, shen....sorry.....
Jemmi smiles.
One Eye: Huh. Didn't figure ye for THAT type, but...
Jemmi: I bet you could help me. You're probably old enough to knw everything around here.
Jemmi giggles.
Jemmi: I like to have fun[confidingly]and hear this ist he place to go.
Piotr Rava: We've got to find some place to hole up for a while.
Piotr Rava: You won't be able to keep up like this.
Jules Dist: Yeah...
Jules Dist sits up, woozy.
One Eye: You know, girl, I could show you a pretty good time myself. Why don't you forget about this Snake person and let me show you the town?
Jemmi smiles sweetly.
One Eye adjusts his belt.
Jemmi: That would be fun, but well..I'm in need and really should have transfer first.
Jemmi ~~almost a full day from need~~
One Eye looks semi-alarmed, but manages to control his field.
Piotr Rava: Let's find some sort of shelter...
Jules Dist: Yeah...uh...cave?
One Eye: Well, my friend Dicky did say he saw her going into the Police station earlier.
Jules Dist zlins....
Jules Dist: Or..how about a house...
Jules Dist points.
Jules Dist: Back there...through those trees...
Jemmi: Oh!
Jemmi looks mildly alarmed.
Jemmi: Well, I certainly can't go there.
Piotr Rava: Ok. Don't push yourself.
Jemmi: Do you suppose she might be coming back to the ferry?
One Eye rubs his bristly, moley, chin.
Jemmi shifts from foot to foot, adjusting her purse on her shoulder before patting at her hair, then smoothing her skirt over her hips.
One Eye's pop out in various directions as he watches her do this.
One Eye: === One Eye's eye pops out in various... ====
Jemmi giggles again.
Jemmi: I suppose I should just go on that way..maybe I'll find her.
Jemmi: Thank you so much for your help.
One Eye: Well, I heard a rumor she was lookin at setting up shop in that Ferry Building... so maybe you'll find her there.
Jemmi starts down the street swaying her hips nad winking at oneeye before waving.
Jemmi: Thanks.
One Eye: Are you sure you don't want.. anything?
Jemmi: Maybe.....later.
One Eye: Oh, ouch [as she disappears down the street]
Jules Dist starts toward the house.
One Eye waits until she is out of sight, then turns and hobbles into the nearest house of whoopiee.
Jules Dist: It looks old...probably deserted..except for small animals.
Piotr Rava: It may be drafty, but it is better than anytning else.
Jules Dist leans heavily against Pitor.
Jules Dist: Anything is better than nothing.
Jemmi goes on down the street until she gets close to the waterfront.
Jemmi looks around sees a young handsome man.
Jemmi: Excuse me sir.
Jemmi sets mode: +o Tramila
One Eye is now known as Cabinboy.
Cabinboy sees Jemmi and does a doubletake.
Piotr Rava leads Jules to the cabin.
Jules Dist goes into the broekn dwon shack and and sits down.
Cabinboy: Yes hello? Yes? Can I help you?
Cabinboy belatedly removes hat.
Jemmi dimples at the cabinboy.
Jemmi: Why, yes, you can.
Cabinboy's mouth falls open.
Jemmi giggles.
Jemmi: I'm looking for the Ferry house?
Jemmi frowns, pouting.
Jemmi: Or was it a ferry tower.
Jemmi looks at cabinboy, pouting.
Cabinboy: Um um um um the Ferry Building?
Jemmi: Yes!
Jemmi rolls ehr eyes.
Cabinboy: [the last 3 ums were stuttered]
Jemmi: You'll so smart.
Cabinboy blushes.
Cabinboy drops his hat and picks it up twice.
Jemmi: Can you tell me where that is? I'm looking for a Snake...
Cabinboy jumps at the name, drops his hat again.
Cabinboy picks up his hat and clutches it.
Cabinboy: It's right over there, miz.
Jules Dist leans back agains the wall her eyes drifting down, face etched with pain.
Piotr Rava checks the interior of the cabin.
Cabinboy points at a clock tower visible over some piers.
Jemmi follows his finger to where he's pointing.
Jemmi: Oh my.
Jemmi: You mean I"m taht close.
Jemmi dimples again.
Cabinboy: But, uh, there aren't no Ferries anymore.
Jemmi: You're such a sweet thing to point that out.
Cabinboy's brain turns to much at the dimples.
Cabinboy: ===much = mush ====
Jemmi: Oh no...I'm looking for Snake...everyone says she's there.
Jemmi nods, her ponytail bouncing.
Jemmi blinks as she nods.
Cabinboy: Oh uh I uh [mush mush mush]
Piotr Rava tries to plug what drafty areas he can.
Jemmi: I'll just go on over there and see if I can find her.
Jemmi: Maybe I'll see you later.
Cabinboy: D'ya do 'dya think we could maybe go on a date sometime?
Jemmi giggles again as she bounces off on her high heels.
Jemmi: We'll see....
Cabinboy faints.
Jemmi thinks he's cute...but daddy would probably have a fit.
Jemmi thinks hmm....and giggles.
Jules Dist: It's fine, Piotr.
Jules Dist: I'll keep you warm.
Piotr Rava shrugs.
Jules Dist: I can augment to keep us both warm.
Jules Dist tries to smile.
Jemmi goes around the corner, keeping the clock in site.
Jemmi sees the building and wrinkles her nose.
Piotr Rava: True, and I have penty of selyn to support you.
Jemmi: Oh, ugh....
Jemmi: How absoultely nasty....
Jemmi: Why would a channel who liked fun hang out in a place likd this.
Jules Dist: Thank you, Piotr.
Jemmi: Are you back yet Tramila?????
Jules Dist: ==scratch BLUSH==
Jules Dist: I...you know...
Jules Dist begins to tremble.
Jules Dist: I almost....[gritting teeth at reaction.
Jules Dist: Killed..
Piotr Rava sets up makeshift bedding and sets Jules down.
Piotr Rava: Yes, but you didn't.
Jules Dist: All I could think of was Carlin..and.....and....oh shen, piotr....
Jules Dist finally begins to cry, gasping at the pain as she cries.
Piotr Rava holds her, helping her through her grief and post.
Jules Dist cires until she is exhausted.
Jemmi finally goes up the the ferry buidling, tapping carefully at it.
Jemmi: Heloooo?
Jemmi pushes open the door and goes in, wrinking her nose at how messy it is.
Jules Dist pulls back.
Jules Dist: Remind me if I ever get shot again, to do it before transfer.
Jules Dist: Crying hurts like shen.
Jules Dist wipes at her cheeks.
Jules Dist gives piotr a watery smile.
Piotr Rava: I'll try to remind you.
Piotr Rava gives her a tender kiss on her wet cheeks.
Jemmi looks around looking at the dust and trash
Jemmi: Oh my....
Jules Dist lays back exhausted.
Jules Dist motions with a tentacle.
Jules Dist: Please...
Jules Dist eyes are already drifting closed again from Piotr's influencing nager.
Piotr Rava: Yes?
Jules Dist: Join me before I conk out on you.
Piotr Rava nods.
Piotr Rava: Of course.
Piotr Rava lays down beside Jules.
Jemmi steps over some trash and decides she maybe should shout louder.
Jemmi: Yooohooooooooo!
Jemmi: Uh...miz...uh..>cat...no..uh..snake.
Cabinboy is now known as wisesnake.
Jemmi: Are you here?
Jules Dist reaches out for Pitor's hand, wrapping a tentacle around it before drifting off.
Piotr Rava positions the heavy cloaks above them to keep them the warmest.
Piotr Rava snuggles behind Jules, spoon fashion.
Wise Snake: Did you hear something?
Jemmi: Yooooooo Hoooooooooooooo!!!
Piotr Rava eventually lets himself fall asleep as well.
Nick: Someone downstairs?
Jules Dist is now known as Alea.
Nick hears the second yell and reconsiders.
Nick: Someone a few blocks from here?
Jemmi goes toward the stairs and starts climbing them.
Wise Snake: Did you leave the front door unlocked?
Jemmi: Anyone hooooommmmmmmeeeee.
Nick blinks at Snake.
Nick: Do I have a key?
Wise Snake: Uh... no.
Jemmi: I'm looking for a uh...Snake....
Jemmi giggles.
Nick cocks his eyebrow in answer.
Jemmi: Are you here?
Wise Snake sighs inpatiently.
Wise Snake: Fine. Come on, let's see who it is.
Jemmi sneezes.
Nick follows as Snake leaves the office rooms they'd been looking through.
Jemmi: My goodness!
Wise Snake zlins and listens, eventually locating the intruder.
Wise Snake: What the...
Wise Snake: Hello?
Jemmi blinks, one, then twice, her mought forming an oh.
Jemmi: Well......hello!
Wise Snake approaches Jemmi, zlinning her cautiously.
Jemmi frowns as she zlins the sime.
Jemmi: I'm looking for a SNake...can you tell me where to find her?
Wise Snake is a small, scrawny channel with crazy black hair and whitish eyes, wearing a black cape.
Jemmi: Everyone said she'd be down ehre...
Wise Snake: I'm Snake.
Jemmi blinks.
Jemmi: Oh.
Jemmi looks her over again.
Jemmi: You like ot have fun?
Jemmi doesn't htink she looks like someone who likes she likes to have fun.
Jemmi: I was told you did..but I don't know.
Wise Snake zlins Jemmi again, wondering what the girl is selling... hadn't seemed like the selilng type.
Jemmi giggles.
Jemmi reaches in her purse.
Wise Snake zlins Jemmi's full purse and the picture begins to look a bit different.
Jemmi pulls out a large fold of bills.
Jemmi: I came to you for transfer....
Wise Snake: Well ah, really.
Wise Snake: What did you have in mind?
Jemmi dimples and steps back almost misses the step but regains balance just in time.
Jemmi: Oh...well...FUN.
Jemmi shrugs.
Jemmi: Excitement.
Jemmi grins.
Jemmi: Something different.
Jemmi giggle again.
Jemmi turns and starts down the stairs.
Jemmi: Cna you do that...?
Wise Snake watches this display with a certain amount of cynicism.
Wise Snake: Uh.. [wonders where Jemmi is going]
Jemmi stops at the bottom of the steps and turns.
Jemmi: I bet my friends I could find the best transfer partner this month.
Wise Snake: You'll have to be more specific. I can do anything you want, if you can tell me what that is.
Jemmi: I hear your the best...
Wise Snake: Oh!
Wise Snake considers.
Wise Snake: So you want to do it in front of them, I take it?
Jemmi: Hmmm....ANYTHING???
Jemmi: Have you ever had a threesomebefore? You know, I've heard there is someway to do it.
Jemmi: That would be really really...different.
Jemmi smiles, her eyes brigthening.
Wise Snake: What, do you mean serve two renSimes, one right after the other?
Jemmi: Oh no no...I mean...
Jemmi frowns.
Jemmi: Let's see....all three at once...someone said they'd heard stories about that.
Jemmi: Could we somehow do that?
Wise Snake: Not just the two of us.
Jemmi shrugs.
Jemmi: What about him..the Gen...if I don't kill him..could he participate too?
Wise Snake: What did you have in mind?
Jemmi: I don't remember what matti said..she only said that there were three...
Nick's eyebrows are trying to climb up off his forehead, but he maintains a professional demeanor
Jemmi: OR...hmm....oh...how about...I dunno...can we take transfer maybe on a sled...racing through the streets.
Jemmi: Oh, that would be fun...I can just hear my friends now.
Wise Snake: Look... anything is possible, given enough funding.
Jemmi: Just how much?
Wise Snake blanched at the word sled.
Wise Snake: Decide what you want, and I'll let you know what I'd charge.
Jemmi: How about the three of us if it's possible.
Jemmi: You're the channel..can't you figure out how to make it work?
Jemmi looks around the building, stepping back carefully as she realizes how close to a stack of debries she is near.
