[01:33:34] Grim III: Bailiff: *arrives at the Brotherhood Cells* Damn long way from here to court...
[01:33:48] TNGFawe: Isaac: We've made preparations
[01:33:56] egsten2: Elzebeth: *on gaurd that day*
[01:34:20] egsten2: Elzebeth: i am sure you have
[01:34:43] Grim III: Bailiff: Good. If you'll have your guards follow our car... *gets Theo from the cell, keeping his hands on Theo's shoulder and arm*
[01:35:18] egsten2: Elzebeth: *has allready told him if he runs he is pretty much dead*
[01:35:33] TNGFawe: Isaac: I'll be travelling in the same car as the suspect.
[01:35:43] egsten2: Elzebeth: as will i
[01:35:44] Grim III: Theo: *just calmly goes with* I was sure they'd get me by now...
[01:36:14] TNGFawe: Mrs. You: We're just that terrifying.
[01:36:16] Grim III: Bailiff: Very well, sir, ma'am.
[01:36:47] egsten2: Elzebeth: *ignores the goons*
[01:36:48] Grim III: Theo: *to Mrs. Y* Not you. You were an insufferable motormouth. I meant someone else.
[01:37:31] TNGFawe: Isaac: Odd that the bailiff would come to retrieve the suspect himself. Normally you're just court security.
[01:37:41] Grim III: Bailiff: *mutters "Nutjob" under his breath, takes Theo to his car* Judge Andrews insisted.
[01:38:05] egsten2: Elzebeth: *follows along*
[01:38:13] TNGFawe: Isaac: Do you happen to have any evidence of this?
[01:38:43] TNGFawe: Mrs You: *Grrr!*
[01:39:13] Grim III: Bailiff: *keeps a hand on Theo's shoulder, pulls a letter from Judge Jason F. Andrews that checks out completely; if Judge Andrews is called, he'll confirm*
[01:39:52] egsten2: Elzebeth: *makes not of the contuied contact, biut doesnt comment*
[01:40:26] Grim III: Bailiff: *after handing the letter to Isaac, places his hand back on Theo's arm* And I'm sure you're aware of Court Statute 93, Police Chief Weys?
[01:41:00] Grim III: Statute: *requires that there be disruptive physical contact with a teleport-capable prisoner at all times*
[01:41:46] TNGFawe: Isaac: And how are you disrupting this activity, exactly?
[01:42:05] egsten2: Elzebeth: a power null i wpuld presume
[01:42:15] Grim III: Bailiff: Patch on the inside of my left hand, designed to mimic a power null.
[01:42:33] Grim III: Bailiff: I'll show you once we're in the courtroom.
[01:42:53] TNGFawe: Isaac: I see. Good, good. Who's the driver?
[01:42:55] Grim III: Theo: *shakes his right arm; there's a tingly sensation in it*
[01:43:25] Grim III: Bailiff: Marshall Davis, he's one of the county staff.
[01:43:38] egsten2: Elzebeth: Theo? are you all rioght?
[01:43:43] TNGFawe: Isaac: He's not driving anymore. Officer Brown will be.
[01:43:46] Grim III: Theo: Fine, ma'am.
[01:44:09] egsten2: Elzebeth: *look to Issac of 'something is not right here'*
[01:44:20] TNGFawe: Isaac: *Same look right back*
[01:44:24] Grim III: Bailiff: Right. *arrives, knocks on driver's side* Marshall? Officer Brown will be taking over for you. *Davis gets out, Bailiff gets in the back seat with Theo*
[01:45:16] TNGFawe: Isaac: *Knocks on the window* Hop out, please. I'd like you both to get into the power-proof cell.
[01:45:24] TNGFawe: Isaac: *Gun in hand.*
[01:45:59] egsten2: Elzebeth: *has her gun, not out mind you but she can freeze your heart*
[01:46:28] Grim III: Bailiff: All right, Officer. *gets out, continues walking Theo to the power-proof cell... Theo's looking worse now, his legs are getting a little stiff and the Bailiff's moving slower to compensate for this*
[01:46:51] egsten2: Elzebeth: yopu mar relise him now
[01:47:06] Grim III: Bailiff: *whispers something to Theo, Theo looks at him*
[01:47:17] Grim III: Bailiff: *lets go of Theo* Right, ma'am.
[01:47:18] TNGFawe: Isaac: *Dialing paramedics.*
[01:47:33] Grim III: Theo: *collapses*
[01:47:38] egsten2: Elzebeth: *catshes him*
[01:47:59] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: *Picks his teeth. There's some leftover lunch.*
[01:48:23] egsten2: Elzebeth: move and a freeze your heart *to baliff*
[01:48:50] TNGFawe: Isaac: Mr. Me? Please do the best you can with what's in the squadcar. Mrs. You? Detain the bailiff.
[01:49:05] Grim III: Theo: *to Elizabeth* ...they deserved... a better dad... *left arm is numb, right arm is tingling, and his brain's fogging over*
[01:49:31] Grim III: Bailiff: *half-smile* I won't move.
[01:49:37] egsten2: Elzebeth: do not talk like that, we are getting help
[01:49:55] Grim III: Theo: ...doesn't... matter... she did enough...
[01:49:59] egsten2: Elzebeth: *ponders freezing it anyway but doesnt*
[01:50:06] egsten2: Elzebeth: who did?
[01:50:20] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: *Dashes to the car, dum de de. Adrenaline, a varieties of clensers. Seems Isaac was prepared for poison, toxin etc. If there's a cure it's up to Grim.*
[01:50:33] TNGFawe: Paramedics: *On their way*
[01:50:36] Grim III: Theo: *head moves to see Bailiff* Her. Natsuko.
[01:51:00] TNGFawe: Mrs. You: Oh, no. I've got a special type of detaining. If you're really still, you can keep your fingers!
[01:51:28] Grim III: Theo: Sorry... Jake. *mini gasp, eyes roll back in his head*
[01:51:47] egsten2: Elzebeth: return to your base form, or i will make you
[01:52:09] egsten2: Elzebeth: Theo! you are not to die, that is a direct order!
[01:52:11] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: *Returns with adrenaline, ripping Theo's shirt open with a practiced efficiency, pushing the syringie where it should go.*
[01:52:38] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: Sorry, luv. Science'll be just as much help, now.
[01:52:44] Grim III: Theo: *gasp... but adrenaline isn't a heart attack or stroke medicine*
[01:52:55] Grim III: Theo: *slipping...*
[01:53:05] Grim III: Bailiff: *half-grin*
[01:53:18] Grim III: Bailiff: My, my. Jig's up.
[01:53:35] Grim III: Bailiff: ...Do you mind if I do one thing?
[01:53:43] TNGFawe: ((It is actually helpful if a patient's slipping
))
[01:53:57] egsten2: Elzebeth: *drops temp of any watter in whatevor the baliff is**
[01:54:22] Grim III: Bailiff: *has ice crystals hanging off his hair and fingertips and nose etc.*
[01:54:25] TNGFawe: Mrs. You: Oooh! Do it, do it!
[01:54:29] egsten2: Elzebeth: shoot it
[01:54:44] egsten2: Elzebeth: *takes out gun, fires*
[01:54:53] Grim III: Bailiff: *turns into a woman... just as the bullet hits her*
[01:55:14] TNGFawe: Isaac: Elizabeth, you fool!
[01:55:51] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: *Field diagnosis... Gauging whatever would be the best in this scenario.*
[01:56:18] egsten2: Elzebeth: *watching the shape shifter*
[01:57:00] egsten2: Elzebeth: *made a gut shot for the record*
[01:57:36] Grim III: Theo: *appears to be suffering a massive heart attack and a stroke. Concurrently*
[01:58:32] egsten2: Elzebeth: that thing isnt human you moron
[01:58:34] Grim III: Fuyuko Nakayama: *clutching her stomach* ...tsk tsk, shooting a movie star?
[01:58:54] Grim III: Fuyuko: What will my fans say...?
[01:59:17] egsten2: Elzebeth: to be honist my dear i dont give a damn
[01:59:30] egsten2: Elzebeth: explain this now
[02:00:42] Grim III: Fuyuko: *grin* ...I was always jealous of Fuyuko's beauty. She was my younger sister, and yet... she was always the more beautiful one. But I had powers. I wished for her to die every time I hugged her, and eventually...
[02:01:24] egsten2: Elzebeth: *still ready to fire if she has to* and finally she did?
[02:01:55] Grim III: Fuyuko: One day, she dropped to the floor. Mom was distraught... but... well... *grin* I'll show you what happened next in a few moments.
[02:02:04] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: *Jams some asprin down Theo's throat, priming the power he's 'borrowed' for defib before the paramedics arrive.*
[02:03:02] egsten2: Elzebeth: and why use it aganst Theo? *not a parmedic, letting me handle it*
[02:03:02] TNGFawe: Mrs. You: You sound like a haaaaaaaack. Who couldn't make it themseeeeeeeeelves.
[02:03:16] Grim III: Theo: *tha-thump... silence.... tha-thump... silence.... tha-thump... silence.... silence....*
[02:03:38] Grim III: Theo: *silence.... silence.... flatline*
[02:03:44] TNGFawe: Paramedics: *Still a minute or two away.*
[02:03:57] egsten2: Elzebeth: where are those medics?
[02:03:57] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: *Defib is go!*
[02:04:10] TravellingCameo: (Defibrillation doesn't help with flatlines.)
[02:04:22] Grim III: Fuyuko: Well... What if I told you that Natsuko was able to comfort her mother? She ran away from home... but wouldn't you know it... *turns into Theo* Fuyuko returned.
[02:04:39] TNGFawe: (That was meant to be before flatline but I got dirty ninja'd)
[02:05:25] egsten2: Elzebeth: *not the first villan monoluge she has sat thru in her carrier* so you put him up to all this?
[02:06:17] Grim III: FuyuTheo: Me? Oh, no, I work for the one he worked for.
[02:06:30] egsten2: Elzebeth: and that would be?
[02:06:43] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: *Drums fingers.* Hmmm, Isaac? Do we still get paid?
[02:06:45] Grim III: FuyuTheo: He's a very wealthy man who doesn't like supers.
[02:07:03] TNGFawe: Mrs. You: You really should be more specific. :<
[02:07:19] Grim III: FuyuTheo: And let him be found? No thank you.
[02:07:32] TNGFawe: ((Wait, didn't they make it to the power--proof cell?))
[02:07:41] egsten2: Elzebeth: i could just probe you to find it
[02:08:03] Grim III: ((Theo was slowing down, and Fuyuko slowed down to match his pace.))
[02:08:04] TNGFawe: Mrs. You: But the tall guy's way si more fun!
[02:08:14] TNGFawe: ((Ah, so they're outside?))
[02:08:18] Grim III: ((Yup!))
[02:08:41] Grim III: FuyuTheo: You want to know what I whispered to him?
[02:08:49] egsten2: Elzebeth: yes
[02:09:02] egsten2: Elzebeth: *readying a mind probe*
[02:09:08] Grim III: FuyuTheo: "Sorry I'm late."
[02:09:27] egsten2: Elzebeth: i see *goes for contact top probe*
[02:10:12] Grim III: FuyuTheo: .o(He'll probably want me dead now, too. So it goes, I guess. If only we'd made it to the courtroom.)
[02:10:47] egsten2: Elzebeth: *probe fir nane of biss*
[02:10:51] TNGFawe: Isaac: *Thinking along these same lines* You know, you've outlived your usefulness.
[02:11:31] Grim III: FuyuTheo: To him, yes. .o(I wonder who he'll send, now that I'm out of the picture...)
[02:12:11] egsten2: Elzebeth: oO(give me the name and i can try to let you live)
[02:12:28] Grim III: FuyuTheo: And if you want to kill me... well... be prepared for the international outrage when Fuyuko Nakayama disappears and can't be found at all.
[02:13:07] TNGFawe: Isaac: I'd never even heard of you before now.
[02:13:13] Grim III: FuyuTheo: .o(The cop wants me dead. It doesn't matter, he'll find a way to make me dead. So unless you can get me a pardon...)
[02:13:41] egsten2: Elzebeth: oO(i am the district director for brotherhood inteligance)
[02:14:55] Grim III: FuyuTheo: *smirk* I don't think you watch the right movies, then.
[02:15:48] Grim III: FuyuTheo: .o(Oh, yes, the Almighty Brotherhood. An organization of thieves, crooks, and liars. Hardly better than a society of assassins.)
[02:16:12] egsten2: Elzebeth: oO(do i get the name or not?)
[02:16:37] TNGFawe: Isaac: *Sighs* You are hearby under arrest for etc etc. Do you want to hear miranda?
[02:16:41] Grim III: FuyuTheo: .o(...Patrick White.)
[02:16:55] Grim III: FuyuTheo: Depends on what she sounds like.
[02:17:21] TNGFawe: Isaac: You have the right to... [etc]
[02:17:29] egsten2: Elzebeth: oO(thank you, enjoy your time with the officeers before he kills you) *lets go*
[02:17:48] Grim III: FuyuTheo: *half-smile* .o(Somehow... I knew.)
[02:18:19] egsten2: Elzebeth: if you need the cell again it is avalible
[02:18:59] Grim III: Theo's Ghost: ...So that's how it ends. Well, at least even a criminal gets his day. *walks over to the Angel of Purgatory* You here to take me to Purgatory?
[02:19:15] Grim III: AoP: Yes. You've got a lot of atoning to do, but at least you tried to make up for it.
[02:19:26] egsten2: Elzebeth: i suspect a normal cell would hold it but it might be best to be safe untill it's powers are determined
[02:19:33] Grim III: TG: I know. ...May I ask you a question?
[02:19:42] Grim III: AoP: Go ahead. *leading him to Purgatory*
[02:20:18] Grim III: TG: Well, the priest from my old church, Father Flanagan... How did he pass on? Was it old age, disease, killed by the Cradle?
[02:20:42] Grim III: AoP: ...Alcohol Poisoning. He was found with a rather scarred altar boy.
[02:21:04] Grim III: TG: ...Ah... I see. Thank you, I was curious.
[02:23:50] Grim III: FuyuTheo: *as she's led into her cell, transforms into a fourth form* You know, I always find it strange, being male. Having a [Richard] just feels so weird.
[02:25:18] Grim III: Natsuko: Ah well. *grins* So what d'you think will happen to me?
[02:25:49] egsten2: Elzebeth: i do belive you allready know that answer
[02:26:05] Grim III: Natsuko: I want to hear someone say it. *chuckle*
[02:26:39] egsten2: Elzebeth: it will not be i that does
[02:35:01] TNGFawe: Maddie: *Was, apparently, chopped liver.*
[02:35:14] TravellingCameo: (*figures TNG has a multiple-choice afterlife*)
[02:35:26] Grim III: Theo: *was too ashamed to do anything but pass on*
[02:36:01] TNGFawe: Maddie: *Really, really hurt, as she's been hovering about nearby pretty much the whole time.*
[02:36:35] Grim III: ((She was? *could've used this information, 'cuz that changes things*))
[02:37:06] TNGFawe: ((I said she was alternating between the cell and her kids a while back, could've been missed. S'okay, just say she was at the kids.))
[02:37:15] Grim III: ((OK.))
[02:37:21] TravellingCameo: (*also missed that, BTW*)
[02:37:23] Grim III: ((I don't think I was on for that, actually.))
[02:37:29] egsten2: (*ditto*)
[02:38:50] egsten2: Elzebeth: *if Me is still working on Theo, approches*
[02:39:21] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: *Has seen enough corpses, so is sitting next to the body chewing the end of the cigar.*
[02:39:48] egsten2: Elzebeth: *to me* you did your best
[02:40:48] egsten2: Elzebeth: *to Issac* i willll inform his family, it is the least i can do
[02:41:00] Grim III: AoP: *takes Theo past where his family's gathered, he sees Maddie and the kids*
[02:41:23] Grim III: Theo: ...hold on a moment... I need to say goodbye to someone. *floats down to where Maddie is* Maddie?
[02:41:30] TNGFawe: Maddie: *Hugging Ash, who, is, as per norm when something bad happens, a ball of tears.*
[02:41:49] Grim III: Theo: *shame is a crushing weight*
[02:42:28] TNGFawe: Maddie: *Looks at him with teary eyes* T-Theo?
[02:43:04] Grim III: Theo: ...I know you weren't expecting this...
[02:43:33] Grim III: Theo: And I didn't want to leave the kids any more than I already had, but...
[02:43:42] TNGFawe: Maddie: W-why, Theo? *Teary!* Why do you have to go?
[02:45:20] Grim III: Theo: ...*just hangs his head* Because seeing you, such a good mother, contrasted with the brittle shell that I became...
[02:45:40] Grim III: Theo: I feel too ashamed about what I did to our kids.
[02:46:00] TNGFawe: Maddie: *Puts an arm around him, pulls him into a group hug!* Stay, Theo. Be a good father. Please.
[02:47:14] Grim III: Theo: ...only if I can go with you when we move on.
[02:48:16] TNGFawe: Maddie: *Gently sobbing, cradling the only baby she still can.* I promise, hun. I promise.
[02:48:49] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: *Doesn't really care about the corpse. More the fact he can't smoke.* Mmmhm.
[02:49:12] Grim III: Theo: *hugs Ash and Maddie* Thanks, love. *kisses Maddie on the cheek*
[02:49:43] Grim III: AoP: *just kinda goes off, as he's obviously not going to take anyone to Purgatory right now*
[02:50:27] egsten2: (Elzebeth: dont worry, i am sure someday you'll take me)
[02:50:59] Grim III: ((AoP: That doesn't really help and you know it.))
[02:53:09] TNGFawe: Isaac: Me, staunch the bloodloss from the murderer.
[02:53:30] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: *Still chewing the cigar, gets up to do so, brushing off his pants.*
[02:54:47] Grim III: Theo: *sigh* ...I just wish I had been able to redeem myself in their eyes.
[02:55:21] Grim III: CorpseTheo: *in a body bag, being taken to the forensic autopsy place*
[02:56:00] egsten2: Elzebeth: *ponders over what to say to the family and the staff*
[02:56:21] TNGFawe: Maddie: Jake cared about you, hun. Ash is just a little girl. *Watery smile* She probably forgot why she was angry, anyway
[02:56:30] Grim III: Judge Andrews: *calls Isaac*
[02:56:42] egsten2: Elzebeth's writer: *figures the family will hear via ash overhearing but she still plans it*
[02:56:47] Grim III: Theo: ...well, I'm glad.
[02:57:57] TNGFawe: Isaac: *Picks up.*
[02:58:12] TNGFawe: Ash: *Ball of tears!*
[02:58:14] Grim III: Judge Andrews: *is calling through an official line* Chief Weys? Where are my bailiff and the prisoner?
[02:58:40] TNGFawe: Isaac: I'd be willing to bet your bailiff is dead, if you even are Judge Andrews.
[02:59:43] Grim III: Judge Andrews: Impossible, I sent him [time] ago, and he's been unusually punctual lately.
[03:00:25] Grim III: Judge Andrews: And if you're suggesting that I'm an impostor...
[03:01:08] Grim III: Judge Andrews: Put the bailiff on the line, Weys.
[03:01:23] Grim III: Natsuko: Tell him his bailiff's behind the courthouse.
[03:02:19] TNGFawe: Isaac: The bailiff was a shifter, your Honor. She has been detained. The presumably real bailiff is behind the courthouse.
[03:03:07] Grim III: Judge Andrews: Wha... Clerk, go check. If you're pulling my leg, I'll lobby for your firing, Weys!
[03:04:31] Grim III: Clerk: *comes back after a few moments, tells Judge Andrews something*
[03:04:56] Grim III: Judge Andrews: ...mother of God... wait... naked!? My God, man, why would he be lying dead and naked?!
[03:05:51] Grim III: Judge Andrews: *to the phone* ...Your story might hold water, Weys. Apparently the bailiff is dead and naked behind the building.
[03:06:16] TNGFawe: Isaac: *Dryly* Because his uniform was stolen by a shapeshifter, who we have in custody on charges of murder, now of the bailiff. They killed the suspect, too.
[03:06:48] egsten2: Elzebeth: *dryly* it
[03:06:54] Grim III: Judge Andrews: ...god damn it.
[03:07:14] Grim III: Natsuko: Excuse me, I'm still female when you put me in here, I think I deserve a gender pronoun.
[03:07:44] egsten2: Elzebeth: you deserve a slow death, nothing more nothing less. i know your kind
[03:08:08] TNGFawe: Mrs You: Can I do it?
*So hopeful!*
[03:08:29] Grim III: Judge Andrews: *to the crowd gathered; it's also heard over the phone, and this is definitely how Judge Andrews clears a court* The suspect is dead. All of you go away now, just scurry back home.
[03:08:56] egsten2: Elzebeth: *put Mrs you on mental ignore a while back*
[03:09:11] Grim III: Judge Andrews: Relatives of the dead, you'll be getting a letter summoning you to the reading of his will later. Just so you know. that' sall.
[03:09:28] Grim III: Natsuko: *to Mrs. You* I wanna come out and hug you.
[03:10:52] Grim III: Natsuko: *to Elizabeth* "My kind"? At least I didn't pretend to be someone else's spouse, unlike the employees of some organizations. *doesn't know whether Elizabeth did that kind of thing or not, but knows the Brotherhood did it*
[03:11:21] TNGFawe: Mrs. You: Pretty please?
[03:11:54] Grim III: Natsuko: Hug time is fun time! Especially when you can't feel the left side of your body and your brain goes fuzzy!
[03:11:54] egsten2: Elzebeth: do not preach to me murderer
[03:12:45] Grim III: Natsuko: Then don't generalize about me.
[03:13:10] egsten2: Elzebeth: *has doen kill jobs in a whore house but never posed as somone's wife, she does have some dignity*
[03:14:02] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: You can kill with a touch? Is it controlable, or always active?
[03:14:53] Grim III: Natsuko: Oh, c'mon, do you think they'd let me do romance scenes if I wasn't able to turn off the scary stuff?
[03:15:29] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: *Chews the cigar* I'm gonna take that power, then. Later, perhaps.
[03:15:56] Grim III: Natsuko: *giggle* You're gonna have to catch me first.
[03:16:39] egsten2: Elzebeth: *just eyes her*
[03:17:00] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: *Holds up the rag he used to mop up some of her blood.*
[03:17:08] Grim III: Natsuko: And besides... it's more than a touch. It's sustained bodily contact... like a hug, or a kiss, or sex.
[03:17:20] TravellingCameo: (Copy, or steal?)
[03:17:27] Grim III: Natsuko: And it has to be a long, long time.
[03:17:49] TNGFawe: (Steal.)
[03:17:53] TravellingCameo: (Ah.)
[03:18:15] Grim III: Natsuko: Plus... If they're good enough, they can shake you off.
[03:19:21] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: *Stuffs the rag in his pocket.* But I am good.
[03:20:52] Grim III: Natsuko: *smirk* See, I probably would've given you a couple of floaters. Nothing like what I did to that poor bastard, though. Aorta, Vena Cava, and pulmonary artery.
[03:20:58] Grim III: Natsuko: Plus four vessels in the brain. All from the accumulation of tiny clots.
[03:21:55] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: Oh, you can assign viruses? That is handy.
[03:22:18] Grim III: Natsuko: Viruses? Oh, no, no, no. Just little clots in capillaries in the toes and fingertips.
[03:23:03] Grim III: Natsuko: Of course... I had enough time that I could build a lot of them. Did you notice the twinge in his right arm? That couldn't've killed him.
[03:24:08] Grim III: Natsuko: Using my power is like drinking a fine wine... and unless you've tasted the wine, you can't remember what it's called. *wink*
[03:24:55] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: Fair enough, guv.
[03:25:21] egsten2: Elzebeth: *the most disterbing thing, she is wondering if this thing might actually have worked for the brotherhood at some point*
[03:25:29] Grim III: Natsuko: So if you really want a long-kill power that your victim can counteract if they recognize heart disease soon enough...
[03:26:09] Grim III: Natsuko: Then be my guest. *sits in back of cell* I'll just keep myself busy. *grins*
[03:27:12] TNGFawe: Mr. Me might not be bad. Shapeshiftin', too.
[03:27:24] TNGFawe: ((Who? Mr. Me, or Natsuko?))
[03:27:39] egsten2: (Natsuko)
[03:28:15] Grim III: Natsuko: Yeah, but... only if you've already used the power to off someone. And then only the ones you've offed through the power. So unless you can cover up the death, it's pretty useless.
[03:28:36] egsten2: (wouldnt be the first sadistic mostser working for the good guys)
[03:29:00] TNGFawe: ((Mrs. You, Mr. Me: We're not sadistic, we just go where the cash is!))
[03:29:30] egsten2: (Elzebeth: of course)
[03:29:31] Grim III: Natsuko: You, on the other hand, seem the kind of person to display the body. *chuckle*
[03:30:10] Grim III: Natsuko: I don't think you could kill a bailiff by sexing him up and then leaving his naked body behind a dumpster.
[03:30:17] TNGFawe: ((Mrs. You: Well, actuly, I'm sadistic. Tall guy's the head for business.))
[03:30:28] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: No, I'd shoot him.
[03:30:43] Grim III: Natsuko: And then you wouldn't be able to become him.
[03:30:51] Grim III: Natsuko: Power's fickle like that.
[03:31:41] Grim III: Natsuko: It wants you to use it before you reap its rewards.
[03:33:46] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: It could be useful, one day. Find a penny, pick it up. So on, so forth.
[03:34:06] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: It'd all just be going to waste if it went into a Brotherhood blender, anyway.
[03:35:06] Grim III: Natsuko: I know a poem like that, only it's a little different. *bites down hard; a little crack is heard* Neurotoxin, break it out, all the mour... *thud*
[03:35:54] TNGFawe: Isaac: *Swears*
[03:35:56] Grim III: Natsuko's Ghost, before going down to Hell: Neurotoxin, break it out, all the mourners scream and shout!
[03:36:23] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: *Assumed it was there, but he was paid to be a guard for Theo. He's a man of his word, after all.*
[03:38:30] egsten2: Elzebeth: *does a mental probe to enuse it is dead*
[03:40:13] Grim III: Natsuko: *as a doornail!*
[03:40:37] Grim III: Natsuko: *is still female; she didn't shift to a gender-neutral thing upon death*
[03:42:02] egsten2: Elzebeth: i will requre access to the bodies *to Issac*
[03:43:01] TNGFawe: Isaac: No doubt. Did you get a name?
[03:44:52] egsten2: Elzebeth: Patrick White, not the forst from what i understand. i will put my resouces on it
[03:49:59] TNGFawe: Isaac: I see.
[03:50:29] egsten2: Elzebeth: ypur men should have searched her
[03:52:45] TNGFawe: Isaac: We knew she could kill with a touch. We only just found out how long it would take.
[03:55:15] egsten2: Elzebeth: they can get creative, now if you will excuse me i have to go inform a family they lost thire second parrent
[03:56:12] TNGFawe: Isaac: Good day.
[03:56:40] egsten2: Elzebeth: likewise *leaves*
[03:58:13] TNGFawe: Isaac: *Does his job.*
[04:09:41] egsten2: Elzebeth: *will visit the johnsonm house after her writer gets some rest and works*
[01:33:48] TNGFawe: Isaac: We've made preparations
[01:33:56] egsten2: Elzebeth: *on gaurd that day*
[01:34:20] egsten2: Elzebeth: i am sure you have
[01:34:43] Grim III: Bailiff: Good. If you'll have your guards follow our car... *gets Theo from the cell, keeping his hands on Theo's shoulder and arm*
[01:35:18] egsten2: Elzebeth: *has allready told him if he runs he is pretty much dead*
[01:35:33] TNGFawe: Isaac: I'll be travelling in the same car as the suspect.
[01:35:43] egsten2: Elzebeth: as will i
[01:35:44] Grim III: Theo: *just calmly goes with* I was sure they'd get me by now...
[01:36:14] TNGFawe: Mrs. You: We're just that terrifying.
[01:36:16] Grim III: Bailiff: Very well, sir, ma'am.
[01:36:47] egsten2: Elzebeth: *ignores the goons*
[01:36:48] Grim III: Theo: *to Mrs. Y* Not you. You were an insufferable motormouth. I meant someone else.
[01:37:31] TNGFawe: Isaac: Odd that the bailiff would come to retrieve the suspect himself. Normally you're just court security.
[01:37:41] Grim III: Bailiff: *mutters "Nutjob" under his breath, takes Theo to his car* Judge Andrews insisted.
[01:38:05] egsten2: Elzebeth: *follows along*
[01:38:13] TNGFawe: Isaac: Do you happen to have any evidence of this?
[01:38:43] TNGFawe: Mrs You: *Grrr!*
[01:39:13] Grim III: Bailiff: *keeps a hand on Theo's shoulder, pulls a letter from Judge Jason F. Andrews that checks out completely; if Judge Andrews is called, he'll confirm*
[01:39:52] egsten2: Elzebeth: *makes not of the contuied contact, biut doesnt comment*
[01:40:26] Grim III: Bailiff: *after handing the letter to Isaac, places his hand back on Theo's arm* And I'm sure you're aware of Court Statute 93, Police Chief Weys?
[01:41:00] Grim III: Statute: *requires that there be disruptive physical contact with a teleport-capable prisoner at all times*
[01:41:46] TNGFawe: Isaac: And how are you disrupting this activity, exactly?
[01:42:05] egsten2: Elzebeth: a power null i wpuld presume
[01:42:15] Grim III: Bailiff: Patch on the inside of my left hand, designed to mimic a power null.
[01:42:33] Grim III: Bailiff: I'll show you once we're in the courtroom.
[01:42:53] TNGFawe: Isaac: I see. Good, good. Who's the driver?
[01:42:55] Grim III: Theo: *shakes his right arm; there's a tingly sensation in it*
[01:43:25] Grim III: Bailiff: Marshall Davis, he's one of the county staff.
[01:43:38] egsten2: Elzebeth: Theo? are you all rioght?
[01:43:43] TNGFawe: Isaac: He's not driving anymore. Officer Brown will be.
[01:43:46] Grim III: Theo: Fine, ma'am.
[01:44:09] egsten2: Elzebeth: *look to Issac of 'something is not right here'*
[01:44:20] TNGFawe: Isaac: *Same look right back*
[01:44:24] Grim III: Bailiff: Right. *arrives, knocks on driver's side* Marshall? Officer Brown will be taking over for you. *Davis gets out, Bailiff gets in the back seat with Theo*
[01:45:16] TNGFawe: Isaac: *Knocks on the window* Hop out, please. I'd like you both to get into the power-proof cell.
[01:45:24] TNGFawe: Isaac: *Gun in hand.*
[01:45:59] egsten2: Elzebeth: *has her gun, not out mind you but she can freeze your heart*
[01:46:28] Grim III: Bailiff: All right, Officer. *gets out, continues walking Theo to the power-proof cell... Theo's looking worse now, his legs are getting a little stiff and the Bailiff's moving slower to compensate for this*
[01:46:51] egsten2: Elzebeth: yopu mar relise him now
[01:47:06] Grim III: Bailiff: *whispers something to Theo, Theo looks at him*
[01:47:17] Grim III: Bailiff: *lets go of Theo* Right, ma'am.
[01:47:18] TNGFawe: Isaac: *Dialing paramedics.*
[01:47:33] Grim III: Theo: *collapses*
[01:47:38] egsten2: Elzebeth: *catshes him*
[01:47:59] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: *Picks his teeth. There's some leftover lunch.*
[01:48:23] egsten2: Elzebeth: move and a freeze your heart *to baliff*
[01:48:50] TNGFawe: Isaac: Mr. Me? Please do the best you can with what's in the squadcar. Mrs. You? Detain the bailiff.
[01:49:05] Grim III: Theo: *to Elizabeth* ...they deserved... a better dad... *left arm is numb, right arm is tingling, and his brain's fogging over*
[01:49:31] Grim III: Bailiff: *half-smile* I won't move.
[01:49:37] egsten2: Elzebeth: do not talk like that, we are getting help
[01:49:55] Grim III: Theo: ...doesn't... matter... she did enough...
[01:49:59] egsten2: Elzebeth: *ponders freezing it anyway but doesnt*
[01:50:06] egsten2: Elzebeth: who did?
[01:50:20] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: *Dashes to the car, dum de de. Adrenaline, a varieties of clensers. Seems Isaac was prepared for poison, toxin etc. If there's a cure it's up to Grim.*
[01:50:33] TNGFawe: Paramedics: *On their way*
[01:50:36] Grim III: Theo: *head moves to see Bailiff* Her. Natsuko.
[01:51:00] TNGFawe: Mrs. You: Oh, no. I've got a special type of detaining. If you're really still, you can keep your fingers!
[01:51:28] Grim III: Theo: Sorry... Jake. *mini gasp, eyes roll back in his head*
[01:51:47] egsten2: Elzebeth: return to your base form, or i will make you
[01:52:09] egsten2: Elzebeth: Theo! you are not to die, that is a direct order!
[01:52:11] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: *Returns with adrenaline, ripping Theo's shirt open with a practiced efficiency, pushing the syringie where it should go.*
[01:52:38] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: Sorry, luv. Science'll be just as much help, now.
[01:52:44] Grim III: Theo: *gasp... but adrenaline isn't a heart attack or stroke medicine*
[01:52:55] Grim III: Theo: *slipping...*
[01:53:05] Grim III: Bailiff: *half-grin*
[01:53:18] Grim III: Bailiff: My, my. Jig's up.
[01:53:35] Grim III: Bailiff: ...Do you mind if I do one thing?
[01:53:43] TNGFawe: ((It is actually helpful if a patient's slipping
))[01:53:57] egsten2: Elzebeth: *drops temp of any watter in whatevor the baliff is**
[01:54:22] Grim III: Bailiff: *has ice crystals hanging off his hair and fingertips and nose etc.*
[01:54:25] TNGFawe: Mrs. You: Oooh! Do it, do it!
[01:54:29] egsten2: Elzebeth: shoot it
[01:54:44] egsten2: Elzebeth: *takes out gun, fires*
[01:54:53] Grim III: Bailiff: *turns into a woman... just as the bullet hits her*
[01:55:14] TNGFawe: Isaac: Elizabeth, you fool!
[01:55:51] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: *Field diagnosis... Gauging whatever would be the best in this scenario.*
[01:56:18] egsten2: Elzebeth: *watching the shape shifter*
[01:57:00] egsten2: Elzebeth: *made a gut shot for the record*
[01:57:36] Grim III: Theo: *appears to be suffering a massive heart attack and a stroke. Concurrently*
[01:58:32] egsten2: Elzebeth: that thing isnt human you moron
[01:58:34] Grim III: Fuyuko Nakayama: *clutching her stomach* ...tsk tsk, shooting a movie star?
[01:58:54] Grim III: Fuyuko: What will my fans say...?
[01:59:17] egsten2: Elzebeth: to be honist my dear i dont give a damn
[01:59:30] egsten2: Elzebeth: explain this now
[02:00:42] Grim III: Fuyuko: *grin* ...I was always jealous of Fuyuko's beauty. She was my younger sister, and yet... she was always the more beautiful one. But I had powers. I wished for her to die every time I hugged her, and eventually...
[02:01:24] egsten2: Elzebeth: *still ready to fire if she has to* and finally she did?
[02:01:55] Grim III: Fuyuko: One day, she dropped to the floor. Mom was distraught... but... well... *grin* I'll show you what happened next in a few moments.
[02:02:04] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: *Jams some asprin down Theo's throat, priming the power he's 'borrowed' for defib before the paramedics arrive.*
[02:03:02] egsten2: Elzebeth: and why use it aganst Theo? *not a parmedic, letting me handle it*
[02:03:02] TNGFawe: Mrs. You: You sound like a haaaaaaaack. Who couldn't make it themseeeeeeeeelves.
[02:03:16] Grim III: Theo: *tha-thump... silence.... tha-thump... silence.... tha-thump... silence.... silence....*
[02:03:38] Grim III: Theo: *silence.... silence.... flatline*
[02:03:44] TNGFawe: Paramedics: *Still a minute or two away.*
[02:03:57] egsten2: Elzebeth: where are those medics?
[02:03:57] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: *Defib is go!*
[02:04:10] TravellingCameo: (Defibrillation doesn't help with flatlines.)
[02:04:22] Grim III: Fuyuko: Well... What if I told you that Natsuko was able to comfort her mother? She ran away from home... but wouldn't you know it... *turns into Theo* Fuyuko returned.
[02:04:39] TNGFawe: (That was meant to be before flatline but I got dirty ninja'd
)[02:05:25] egsten2: Elzebeth: *not the first villan monoluge she has sat thru in her carrier* so you put him up to all this?
[02:06:17] Grim III: FuyuTheo: Me? Oh, no, I work for the one he worked for.
[02:06:30] egsten2: Elzebeth: and that would be?
[02:06:43] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: *Drums fingers.* Hmmm, Isaac? Do we still get paid?
[02:06:45] Grim III: FuyuTheo: He's a very wealthy man who doesn't like supers.
[02:07:03] TNGFawe: Mrs. You: You really should be more specific. :<
[02:07:19] Grim III: FuyuTheo: And let him be found? No thank you.
[02:07:32] TNGFawe: ((Wait, didn't they make it to the power--proof cell?))
[02:07:41] egsten2: Elzebeth: i could just probe you to find it
[02:08:03] Grim III: ((Theo was slowing down, and Fuyuko slowed down to match his pace.))
[02:08:04] TNGFawe: Mrs. You: But the tall guy's way si more fun!
[02:08:14] TNGFawe: ((Ah, so they're outside?))
[02:08:18] Grim III: ((Yup!))
[02:08:41] Grim III: FuyuTheo: You want to know what I whispered to him?
[02:08:49] egsten2: Elzebeth: yes
[02:09:02] egsten2: Elzebeth: *readying a mind probe*
[02:09:08] Grim III: FuyuTheo: "Sorry I'm late."
[02:09:27] egsten2: Elzebeth: i see *goes for contact top probe*
[02:10:12] Grim III: FuyuTheo: .o(He'll probably want me dead now, too. So it goes, I guess. If only we'd made it to the courtroom.)
[02:10:47] egsten2: Elzebeth: *probe fir nane of biss*
[02:10:51] TNGFawe: Isaac: *Thinking along these same lines* You know, you've outlived your usefulness.
[02:11:31] Grim III: FuyuTheo: To him, yes. .o(I wonder who he'll send, now that I'm out of the picture...)
[02:12:11] egsten2: Elzebeth: oO(give me the name and i can try to let you live)
[02:12:28] Grim III: FuyuTheo: And if you want to kill me... well... be prepared for the international outrage when Fuyuko Nakayama disappears and can't be found at all.
[02:13:07] TNGFawe: Isaac: I'd never even heard of you before now.
[02:13:13] Grim III: FuyuTheo: .o(The cop wants me dead. It doesn't matter, he'll find a way to make me dead. So unless you can get me a pardon...)
[02:13:41] egsten2: Elzebeth: oO(i am the district director for brotherhood inteligance)
[02:14:55] Grim III: FuyuTheo: *smirk* I don't think you watch the right movies, then.
[02:15:48] Grim III: FuyuTheo: .o(Oh, yes, the Almighty Brotherhood. An organization of thieves, crooks, and liars. Hardly better than a society of assassins.)
[02:16:12] egsten2: Elzebeth: oO(do i get the name or not?)
[02:16:37] TNGFawe: Isaac: *Sighs* You are hearby under arrest for etc etc. Do you want to hear miranda?
[02:16:41] Grim III: FuyuTheo: .o(...Patrick White.)
[02:16:55] Grim III: FuyuTheo: Depends on what she sounds like.
[02:17:21] TNGFawe: Isaac: You have the right to... [etc]
[02:17:29] egsten2: Elzebeth: oO(thank you, enjoy your time with the officeers before he kills you) *lets go*
[02:17:48] Grim III: FuyuTheo: *half-smile* .o(Somehow... I knew.)
[02:18:19] egsten2: Elzebeth: if you need the cell again it is avalible
[02:18:59] Grim III: Theo's Ghost: ...So that's how it ends. Well, at least even a criminal gets his day. *walks over to the Angel of Purgatory* You here to take me to Purgatory?
[02:19:15] Grim III: AoP: Yes. You've got a lot of atoning to do, but at least you tried to make up for it.
[02:19:26] egsten2: Elzebeth: i suspect a normal cell would hold it but it might be best to be safe untill it's powers are determined
[02:19:33] Grim III: TG: I know. ...May I ask you a question?
[02:19:42] Grim III: AoP: Go ahead. *leading him to Purgatory*
[02:20:18] Grim III: TG: Well, the priest from my old church, Father Flanagan... How did he pass on? Was it old age, disease, killed by the Cradle?
[02:20:42] Grim III: AoP: ...Alcohol Poisoning. He was found with a rather scarred altar boy.
[02:21:04] Grim III: TG: ...Ah... I see. Thank you, I was curious.
[02:23:50] Grim III: FuyuTheo: *as she's led into her cell, transforms into a fourth form* You know, I always find it strange, being male. Having a [Richard] just feels so weird.
[02:25:18] Grim III: Natsuko: Ah well. *grins* So what d'you think will happen to me?
[02:25:49] egsten2: Elzebeth: i do belive you allready know that answer
[02:26:05] Grim III: Natsuko: I want to hear someone say it. *chuckle*
[02:26:39] egsten2: Elzebeth: it will not be i that does
[02:35:01] TNGFawe: Maddie: *Was, apparently, chopped liver.*
[02:35:14] TravellingCameo: (*figures TNG has a multiple-choice afterlife*)
[02:35:26] Grim III: Theo: *was too ashamed to do anything but pass on*
[02:36:01] TNGFawe: Maddie: *Really, really hurt, as she's been hovering about nearby pretty much the whole time.*
[02:36:35] Grim III: ((She was? *could've used this information, 'cuz that changes things*))
[02:37:06] TNGFawe: ((I said she was alternating between the cell and her kids a while back, could've been missed. S'okay, just say she was at the kids.))
[02:37:15] Grim III: ((OK.))
[02:37:21] TravellingCameo: (*also missed that, BTW*)
[02:37:23] Grim III: ((I don't think I was on for that, actually.))
[02:37:29] egsten2: (*ditto*)
[02:38:50] egsten2: Elzebeth: *if Me is still working on Theo, approches*
[02:39:21] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: *Has seen enough corpses, so is sitting next to the body chewing the end of the cigar.*
[02:39:48] egsten2: Elzebeth: *to me* you did your best
[02:40:48] egsten2: Elzebeth: *to Issac* i willll inform his family, it is the least i can do
[02:41:00] Grim III: AoP: *takes Theo past where his family's gathered, he sees Maddie and the kids*
[02:41:23] Grim III: Theo: ...hold on a moment... I need to say goodbye to someone. *floats down to where Maddie is* Maddie?
[02:41:30] TNGFawe: Maddie: *Hugging Ash, who, is, as per norm when something bad happens, a ball of tears.*
[02:41:49] Grim III: Theo: *shame is a crushing weight*
[02:42:28] TNGFawe: Maddie: *Looks at him with teary eyes* T-Theo?
[02:43:04] Grim III: Theo: ...I know you weren't expecting this...
[02:43:33] Grim III: Theo: And I didn't want to leave the kids any more than I already had, but...
[02:43:42] TNGFawe: Maddie: W-why, Theo? *Teary!* Why do you have to go?
[02:45:20] Grim III: Theo: ...*just hangs his head* Because seeing you, such a good mother, contrasted with the brittle shell that I became...
[02:45:40] Grim III: Theo: I feel too ashamed about what I did to our kids.
[02:46:00] TNGFawe: Maddie: *Puts an arm around him, pulls him into a group hug!* Stay, Theo. Be a good father. Please.
[02:47:14] Grim III: Theo: ...only if I can go with you when we move on.
[02:48:16] TNGFawe: Maddie: *Gently sobbing, cradling the only baby she still can.* I promise, hun. I promise.
[02:48:49] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: *Doesn't really care about the corpse. More the fact he can't smoke.* Mmmhm.
[02:49:12] Grim III: Theo: *hugs Ash and Maddie* Thanks, love. *kisses Maddie on the cheek*
[02:49:43] Grim III: AoP: *just kinda goes off, as he's obviously not going to take anyone to Purgatory right now*
[02:50:27] egsten2: (Elzebeth: dont worry, i am sure someday you'll take me)
[02:50:59] Grim III: ((AoP: That doesn't really help and you know it.))
[02:53:09] TNGFawe: Isaac: Me, staunch the bloodloss from the murderer.
[02:53:30] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: *Still chewing the cigar, gets up to do so, brushing off his pants.*
[02:54:47] Grim III: Theo: *sigh* ...I just wish I had been able to redeem myself in their eyes.
[02:55:21] Grim III: CorpseTheo: *in a body bag, being taken to the forensic autopsy place*
[02:56:00] egsten2: Elzebeth: *ponders over what to say to the family and the staff*
[02:56:21] TNGFawe: Maddie: Jake cared about you, hun. Ash is just a little girl. *Watery smile* She probably forgot why she was angry, anyway
[02:56:30] Grim III: Judge Andrews: *calls Isaac*
[02:56:42] egsten2: Elzebeth's writer: *figures the family will hear via ash overhearing but she still plans it*
[02:56:47] Grim III: Theo: ...well, I'm glad.
[02:57:57] TNGFawe: Isaac: *Picks up.*
[02:58:12] TNGFawe: Ash: *Ball of tears!*
[02:58:14] Grim III: Judge Andrews: *is calling through an official line* Chief Weys? Where are my bailiff and the prisoner?
[02:58:40] TNGFawe: Isaac: I'd be willing to bet your bailiff is dead, if you even are Judge Andrews.
[02:59:43] Grim III: Judge Andrews: Impossible, I sent him [time] ago, and he's been unusually punctual lately.
[03:00:25] Grim III: Judge Andrews: And if you're suggesting that I'm an impostor...
[03:01:08] Grim III: Judge Andrews: Put the bailiff on the line, Weys.
[03:01:23] Grim III: Natsuko: Tell him his bailiff's behind the courthouse.
[03:02:19] TNGFawe: Isaac: The bailiff was a shifter, your Honor. She has been detained. The presumably real bailiff is behind the courthouse.
[03:03:07] Grim III: Judge Andrews: Wha... Clerk, go check. If you're pulling my leg, I'll lobby for your firing, Weys!
[03:04:31] Grim III: Clerk: *comes back after a few moments, tells Judge Andrews something*
[03:04:56] Grim III: Judge Andrews: ...mother of God... wait... naked!? My God, man, why would he be lying dead and naked?!
[03:05:51] Grim III: Judge Andrews: *to the phone* ...Your story might hold water, Weys. Apparently the bailiff is dead and naked behind the building.
[03:06:16] TNGFawe: Isaac: *Dryly* Because his uniform was stolen by a shapeshifter, who we have in custody on charges of murder, now of the bailiff. They killed the suspect, too.
[03:06:48] egsten2: Elzebeth: *dryly* it
[03:06:54] Grim III: Judge Andrews: ...god damn it.
[03:07:14] Grim III: Natsuko: Excuse me, I'm still female when you put me in here, I think I deserve a gender pronoun.
[03:07:44] egsten2: Elzebeth: you deserve a slow death, nothing more nothing less. i know your kind
[03:08:08] TNGFawe: Mrs You: Can I do it?
*So hopeful!*[03:08:29] Grim III: Judge Andrews: *to the crowd gathered; it's also heard over the phone, and this is definitely how Judge Andrews clears a court* The suspect is dead. All of you go away now, just scurry back home.
[03:08:56] egsten2: Elzebeth: *put Mrs you on mental ignore a while back*
[03:09:11] Grim III: Judge Andrews: Relatives of the dead, you'll be getting a letter summoning you to the reading of his will later. Just so you know. that' sall.
[03:09:28] Grim III: Natsuko: *to Mrs. You* I wanna come out and hug you.
[03:10:52] Grim III: Natsuko: *to Elizabeth* "My kind"? At least I didn't pretend to be someone else's spouse, unlike the employees of some organizations. *doesn't know whether Elizabeth did that kind of thing or not, but knows the Brotherhood did it*
[03:11:21] TNGFawe: Mrs. You: Pretty please?
[03:11:54] Grim III: Natsuko: Hug time is fun time! Especially when you can't feel the left side of your body and your brain goes fuzzy!
[03:11:54] egsten2: Elzebeth: do not preach to me murderer
[03:12:45] Grim III: Natsuko: Then don't generalize about me.
[03:13:10] egsten2: Elzebeth: *has doen kill jobs in a whore house but never posed as somone's wife, she does have some dignity*
[03:14:02] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: You can kill with a touch? Is it controlable, or always active?
[03:14:53] Grim III: Natsuko: Oh, c'mon, do you think they'd let me do romance scenes if I wasn't able to turn off the scary stuff?
[03:15:29] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: *Chews the cigar* I'm gonna take that power, then. Later, perhaps.
[03:15:56] Grim III: Natsuko: *giggle* You're gonna have to catch me first.
[03:16:39] egsten2: Elzebeth: *just eyes her*
[03:17:00] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: *Holds up the rag he used to mop up some of her blood.*
[03:17:08] Grim III: Natsuko: And besides... it's more than a touch. It's sustained bodily contact... like a hug, or a kiss, or sex.
[03:17:20] TravellingCameo: (Copy, or steal?)
[03:17:27] Grim III: Natsuko: And it has to be a long, long time.
[03:17:49] TNGFawe: (Steal.)
[03:17:53] TravellingCameo: (Ah.)
[03:18:15] Grim III: Natsuko: Plus... If they're good enough, they can shake you off.
[03:19:21] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: *Stuffs the rag in his pocket.* But I am good.
[03:20:52] Grim III: Natsuko: *smirk* See, I probably would've given you a couple of floaters. Nothing like what I did to that poor bastard, though. Aorta, Vena Cava, and pulmonary artery.
[03:20:58] Grim III: Natsuko: Plus four vessels in the brain. All from the accumulation of tiny clots.
[03:21:55] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: Oh, you can assign viruses? That is handy.
[03:22:18] Grim III: Natsuko: Viruses? Oh, no, no, no. Just little clots in capillaries in the toes and fingertips.
[03:23:03] Grim III: Natsuko: Of course... I had enough time that I could build a lot of them. Did you notice the twinge in his right arm? That couldn't've killed him.
[03:24:08] Grim III: Natsuko: Using my power is like drinking a fine wine... and unless you've tasted the wine, you can't remember what it's called. *wink*
[03:24:55] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: Fair enough, guv.
[03:25:21] egsten2: Elzebeth: *the most disterbing thing, she is wondering if this thing might actually have worked for the brotherhood at some point*
[03:25:29] Grim III: Natsuko: So if you really want a long-kill power that your victim can counteract if they recognize heart disease soon enough...
[03:26:09] Grim III: Natsuko: Then be my guest. *sits in back of cell* I'll just keep myself busy. *grins*
[03:27:12] TNGFawe: Mr. Me might not be bad. Shapeshiftin', too.
[03:27:24] TNGFawe: ((Who? Mr. Me, or Natsuko?))
[03:27:39] egsten2: (Natsuko)
[03:28:15] Grim III: Natsuko: Yeah, but... only if you've already used the power to off someone. And then only the ones you've offed through the power. So unless you can cover up the death, it's pretty useless.
[03:28:36] egsten2: (wouldnt be the first sadistic mostser working for the good guys)
[03:29:00] TNGFawe: ((Mrs. You, Mr. Me: We're not sadistic, we just go where the cash is!))
[03:29:30] egsten2: (Elzebeth: of course)
[03:29:31] Grim III: Natsuko: You, on the other hand, seem the kind of person to display the body. *chuckle*
[03:30:10] Grim III: Natsuko: I don't think you could kill a bailiff by sexing him up and then leaving his naked body behind a dumpster.
[03:30:17] TNGFawe: ((Mrs. You: Well, actuly, I'm sadistic. Tall guy's the head for business.))
[03:30:28] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: No, I'd shoot him.
[03:30:43] Grim III: Natsuko: And then you wouldn't be able to become him.
[03:30:51] Grim III: Natsuko: Power's fickle like that.
[03:31:41] Grim III: Natsuko: It wants you to use it before you reap its rewards.
[03:33:46] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: It could be useful, one day. Find a penny, pick it up. So on, so forth.
[03:34:06] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: It'd all just be going to waste if it went into a Brotherhood blender, anyway.
[03:35:06] Grim III: Natsuko: I know a poem like that, only it's a little different. *bites down hard; a little crack is heard* Neurotoxin, break it out, all the mour... *thud*
[03:35:54] TNGFawe: Isaac: *Swears*
[03:35:56] Grim III: Natsuko's Ghost, before going down to Hell: Neurotoxin, break it out, all the mourners scream and shout!
[03:36:23] TNGFawe: Mr. Me: *Assumed it was there, but he was paid to be a guard for Theo. He's a man of his word, after all.*
[03:38:30] egsten2: Elzebeth: *does a mental probe to enuse it is dead*
[03:40:13] Grim III: Natsuko: *as a doornail!*
[03:40:37] Grim III: Natsuko: *is still female; she didn't shift to a gender-neutral thing upon death*
[03:42:02] egsten2: Elzebeth: i will requre access to the bodies *to Issac*
[03:43:01] TNGFawe: Isaac: No doubt. Did you get a name?
[03:44:52] egsten2: Elzebeth: Patrick White, not the forst from what i understand. i will put my resouces on it
[03:49:59] TNGFawe: Isaac: I see.
[03:50:29] egsten2: Elzebeth: ypur men should have searched her
[03:52:45] TNGFawe: Isaac: We knew she could kill with a touch. We only just found out how long it would take.
[03:55:15] egsten2: Elzebeth: they can get creative, now if you will excuse me i have to go inform a family they lost thire second parrent
[03:56:12] TNGFawe: Isaac: Good day.
[03:56:40] egsten2: Elzebeth: likewise *leaves*
[03:58:13] TNGFawe: Isaac: *Does his job.*
[04:09:41] egsten2: Elzebeth: *will visit the johnsonm house after her writer gets some rest and works*
