Log started: 2/12/03 1:56:02 AM Kain's Office(#3038Ten) This is more or less an standard office for Kain to deal with Blue Strider business. The desk here is constantly messy, leaving one to wonder whether or not if Kain will ever get time to deal with these notes... Off to one side is a Bowl and such for Buster, Kain's dog. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ IC News $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 14/16 Posted Author Party in San An Thu Feb 13 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shutter Bug reporting from downtown San Angeles where one of the strangest things we've seen has happened. The Skull Shuttle, a Robot Master transport, landed atop a building in the western downtown district and its occupants (insert footage of Magic Man creating fireworks displays, Frost Man sitting around happily, Dynamo Man and Freeze Man drinking a WilyBeer) set up some sort of party up on top. What possessed them to choose that location, we don't know. During the party, some teenage boys were observed cLImbing the fire escape and speaking with the Robot Masters for a moment, and then several more followed them, there must have been at least thirty of them up on the roof in that party! The Robot Master "King" was observed to have entered the scene around this time, and LIke the others, showed no hostiLIty toward the civiLIans. Thankfully, the only one injured in this incident was the Robot Master Slash Man as he apparently fell off the roof. Authorities eventually arrived on the scene, and the civiLIans were safely evacuated from the scene before the Robot Masters could do them any harm - thank the Maker.

London - Northern Residential One of the most populated areas of the city of London, the northern residential district is the closest to the beautiful landmark of Big Ben II, right in northern downtown London. The buildings here are much larger than the rest of the residential districts. Also close to both the Commercial and Business districts, this area profits in nearly all areas. Unemployment is extremely low here and money all but grows on trees to those with the initiative to make it. Contents: Contents: Daryn [C] Clef's Roost Shades shed North : London - Northern Outskirts East : London - Commercial District South : London - Northern Downtown West : London - Business District Ready to do some roof-crawLIng, a lone figure relaxes, if only sLIghtly, as he leaps from roof to roof, with LIttle care in the world, for now... Who's is that figure? His name... is Kain. Daryn is knocking on a closed (and empty) bar door with his guitar. It's late, and nobody really wants to deal with him. Damn. "Argh...Need to get hammered...Lemme get a LIttle tipsy at least...", he smacks the door, "COME ON!", he shouts with no reply, "I'll give you a, uh ... uh ... a kick in the shins if you don't let me in. And...And a ... a free beer if you do? Free beer for everybody? C'mon..." Kain pauses in his roof hopping to stare at the bar, then fishes into his belt to take out a picture, then double checks. (It's him. The one Kumicho wants. Now, do I let this pass or do I... talk to him, hopefully making him know what's he doing...)oo. He nods shortly before roof-leaping his way towards Daryn... Daryn raises his arm and guitar in the air and doublestrikes the locked door. No effect. "Argh....", Daryn grumbles, before he GLances to a nearby CLOSED sign. "....Rrh.....hhh....Damn...It....To hell.", he smacks his head into the door, the thump resounding through the area......The door slowly creeks open. When the door starts to creak open, Kain is just starting to walk up to Daryn, quiet-LIke. "...Mr. Daryn?" Kain inquires sLIghtly. Daryn has stared at you! Huzzah! Daryn seems lean forward sLIghtly as he turns around to look at Daryn, just -sLIghtly- hunched forward, his guitar raised sLIghtly above his knees. His eyes travel to the Japanese symbol on Kain's shirt first before he nods slowly, "Name's Daryn Luna, yeah. Whatcha need pal?", he asks, poLItely enough. Kain continues onward rather calmly, "The Kumicho wishes to inform you that you cease your... informative assault on Yakuza property, immediately. I truly hope that you do, indeed, LIsten to him." Daryn hms for a moment, and then says, "The Kumichou, huh?", she seems to feign not knowing the fellow before shrugging his shoulders, his guitar raising up to his chest, "He declared war on me, I fought back. He backs down, I'll back down.", he seems to run his eyes over Kain again, as if something came into play which he did not expect, "You aren't a Yakuza goon, are'ya? Y'know my name, what's yours?" "I am called Kain... of the Blue Dragons," Kain informs. So, no, he's not a Yakuza goon. Whether that is a good thing or not... is about to come to pass. "I was hoping that you will wilLInGLy back off. Had you done so, I will not be forced to complete my mission..." Daryn pauses for a moment. Not part ot the Yakuza? Probably an assassin dude of some kind. Daryn rubs his forehead, with his free hand, looking a LIttle bogGLed as he says, "So yer an assassin then? Pretty cool. You bein' paid or this just a favor?", he might be stalLIng, but Daryn doesn't seem to be very scared. Then again, he's the type of fellow you challenges Vile to duels. Kain nods, "Somewhat. To some, my group are the LIving breathing Guardian Angels, to others, we're the Angels of Justice. To a very small few, we are claimed to be the Angels of Death... the last LIving person one sees... before their meeting." Kain shrugs, "Choose whichever one you want, but it remains the same. And before you ask, I don't have to kill you... I think severeing your vocal cords would do nicely..." Daryn chuckles softly, leaning back. "Alright man... You showed me courtesy by not stabbin' me in the back.", he reaches back, drawing his own simple Bastard Sword, holding it out in front of him in a cross across his body, while his guitar is lowered sLIghtly to protect the lower chest area. "So I'll show you courtesy, pal, and not whine or try to change your mind. But I have to protect my values and myself. I'm not gonna make this easy for you. Y'seem LIke an honorable guy to me, and I respect that and won't try to change that, even if we are enemies right now. That alright?" Kain nods simply, as he unshealths the Yang Cipher, "It is acceptable," is all Kain says... although he doesn't move, other than getting the Cipher. Letting Daryn have the first attack? Maybe... Daryn holds his position. He, ironically, also waiting for Kain to throw the first strike. Perhaps Daryn has some kind of honor code to not striking first, or maybe he just fights better on the defensive, or maybe he wants to enlongate this as long as possible, "Good.", he says simply, to fill in the blank. Kain hms. (So... either he's as honorable as me... More the pity. I would've LIke to be his friend, at least...)oo. He reponds, "Good," before rushing in with his sword swinging for a feint... ...disguising an attempted punch. You strike Daryn with a GLancing hit from your Punch attack. Daryn swings his sword downward in a blocking maneuever to the sword. Unfortunately, this blocks his own guitar from being able to move in the way of the punch as it smacks him across the chin. Daryn stumbles back into the doorway from the force of the punch... Daryn seems a tad surprised for a moment, his eyes widening a LIttle. This fellow here is good. Good enough that he wouldn't -need- to stab him in the back. Heh. Daryn smiles. He pivots forward slashing LIghtly at Kain's sword arm, stopping just short to curve around LIghtly and throw his elbow towards Kain's nose, dropping his guitar to block his legs. Daryn misses you with his Punch attack. Yosho taught good ol' Kain a trick or two, and how to look out for such tricks. The Elbow smash would've worked for anybody else. But not for Kain. He feints back for a bit, putting up a 'scared' act, before leaping upwards... For a roundhouse kick. You strike Daryn with a GLancing hit from your Kick attack. Daryn 's grin merely broadens as Kain manages to avoids his blow. The kick scores across Daryn's face once more, but it is said that Daryn's face is the least important part of his body as he turns with the force of the blow, smacking into a nearby wall, roughly, jolting forward. Nodding slowly, Daryn says, "Two for two... I'm pretty sure you're human...Which mean you aren't fightin' with tech...", is that the sound of Daryn being impressed? Yes, yes it is. Daryn ducks down sLIghtly, pushing one leg against the wall he's at, before using sear strength to push himself off with a kick towards Kain's chest, one the leg he kicked off with ducking under his body so he can land on his feet instead of on his back, his guitar and sword guarding mostly his legs. Daryn strikes you with a GLancing hit from his Kick for 5 units of damage. (...Well, yeah, at least...)oo. Kain GLances at the notpowered Cipher, (For now.)oo. The GLance at his Cipher is costly, as Daryn caught him when he was caught unawares. He rubs his face for a bit, "Nice kick. Strong too. You're training well," is all Kain notes before lunging forth, intending to get through Daryn's defense... in order to throw him for a loop.

[Radio: (C) GLobal] Prismatic Spider transmits, "Ah, you know you want to, Doctor. They're misbehaving badly." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Snake Man sounds somewhat subdued, "Yesss, Massster." Daryn lands LIghtly, despite his armor, on the ground, "...I didn't learn from anyone, had to teach myself, nearly cut my arms off with my own sword... But I failed. I had to sell myself to reach my starting point.", he is rather heavy with his armor, but rather slow too, so Kain easily grabs ahold of him and fLIngs him over his shoulder. Daryn comes crashing down, landing roughly for a moment, letting his guitar lay on the ground though he keeps ahold of his sword as he dashes forward reaching for Kain to perform A German Suplex. It is probably not coincidence that he is choosing to use similar types of assaults as Kain, testing himself against Kain not in strength as much as skill, "I had to fail before I could succeed. I look at the machines today and laugh 'cuz they don't got no skill. They are the tools they use, they may got the firepower, but take away their big guns, their size, their built muscles, what do they got?" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Snake Man transmits, "Why were we talking about Twila, anyway? She disssappeared off the radar yearsss ago." Daryn strikes you with a GLancing hit from his Throw for 1 units of damage. Kain pauses briefly as he considers this (after being tossed, and lying on his back). "...Quint," Kain responds simply. He gets up and gets into a fighting pose... before he leaps at Daryn, punches and kicks flying in a weaker form of the usual Marital Arts Kain can perform. You strike Daryn with a GLancing hit from your Generic Melee attack. Daryn nods, "Humans...They got weakness. With their weakness, they got the greatest strength because they can't take the easy way, they gotta go the hard way.", he blocks a couple of the punches and kicks, but the follow throughs Kain goes through smashes through his defenses, smacking him in his kindey area and collar bone area. Grunting, as Kain goes through with one more blow, he leans forward, turns to the side, and throws his elbow towards Kain's chest before following through with his arm and then the back of his hand. Typical Tai Chi manuever but he went a LIttle too offensive. Kain successfully deflects an attack randomly. Daryn misses you with his Generic Melee attack. Kain nods, "We just get stronger. We had to improve... every day and even over time. Not just physically, but mentally as well." Kain then proceeds to block most of the strikes coming from Daryn. (Good, good. I can see why Mikage is worried about you...)oo. He digs into his belt, and grabbing a handful of ninja darts... he hurls it at Daryn. You strike Daryn with a minor hit from your Generic Ranged attack. Daryn bLInks at the ninja darts, not running from them as they impact through the LInks holding his armor together. The blow doesn't so much as damage Daryn as make his armor fall apart all around him. His body is remarkably more youthful than one would think. He looked twenty with that junk on him, now he's more in his midteens. He keeps the helmet on, however, perhaps more attached to it than his armor as he comments, "Wasn't helpin'.", with that he plucks out a ninja dart sticking out of his flesh and fLIngs it towards Kain, with less pinpointed precision. Some of Daryn's blood GLIstens on the dart. "Y'can't pick one or the other, especially not these days.", he still seems quite happy, almost euphoricly so. Daryn seems to be pleased he's outmatched. Daryn misses you with his Generic Ranged attack. Kain nods, grimly enough. "Indeed. Otherwise the Mavericks will pick you off..." Well, them or the Masters... and Daryn is friends with them. And so is Kain, in a way. Or at least with a certain female Master who wears Red. "But eventually, anything can help... even if your skill is merely singing." And we all know how deadly singing can be. Just look at Guts Man and Ballade for examples. The cipher fLIckers for a bit, before GLowing brightly... a brilLIant white. And yet... ...Kain doesn't strike. Just making sure that Daryn knows he's just up the ante. And see if he can't match it. Daryn nods slowly, looking over to the Cipher. Daryn picks his guitar up, nodding some more. If Kain is upping the ante with that cipher, a guitar and a relatively normal broadsword should be enough to be considered a fair counter. He says, "Singing can be a gateway...LIke meditation and focus.", he gets into a fairly pecuLIar looking ready position, holding his weapons out defensively, "It's my way inside. If I saw that earLIer...", Daryn shakes his head as if to clear it and starts to hum to himself, a rather calm, soothing melody if anything. "Then I hope the Gateway helps you during this, Mr. Daryn," Kain leaps at Daryn, using the blade of the Cipher as he readies to strike... You miss Daryn with your Cipher Blade attack. Daryn doesn't answer yet, letting his own humming get himself into the mood. As Kain lashes out with the Cipher, Daryn curves his guitar into the weapons path while swinging his broadsword upward and across for a diagonal slash across Kain's chest should it connect. Daryn's eyes seem to open a bit more as the humming begins to place him where he wants to be. Daryn strikes you with a GLancing hit from his Holy Shiznits for 2 units of damage. Daryn has reconnected. There is a wince as Kain feels the slash as Daryn lays into him. Kain backs off and closes his eyes, to find his place... Upon opening his eyes, Kain nods once, as he uses the handle of the Cipher to 'bap' Daryn. You strike Daryn with a minor hit from your Cipher Bash attack. Daryn is smacked into the face once more by the handle. Daryn's resilLIence to pain is perhaps his greatest skill. He turns his head as blood pours out of his mouth. Whiping his guitar-arm across his mouth briefly he moves forward to smack Kain across the face with his own heavy blunt object. His guitar. Daryn misses you with his Flcl Tribute attack. Kain spins away from the guitar, watching it carefully... as he moves away from it each time. At the last swing with the guitar, Kain leaps up and towards Daryn, the blade of the Cipher, arched into a slash... [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Guts Man feels so lonely." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Oracle Ocelot transmits, " . . . I do not wish to know the reason why." You strike Daryn with a minor hit from your Cipher Slash attack. [Radio: (C) GLobal] Snake Man transmits, "Go get yourssself another pet." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Only Guts Man's family understands Guts Man's loneLIness." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Roll transmits, "Aw c'mon, be nice. What's wrong, Gutsy?" Daryn has partially disconnected. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Current Systems Status $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Current Endurance: [||||||||||||||||| ] (58 / 66) Fuel Reserves: [|||||||||||||||||| ] (91 / 100) Status: Nominal Deflect Status: Down $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "I've got all this pie but no one to share it with, plus I don't have any ice cream for it. Everyone loves ice cream on their pie." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Whatever is Guts Man to do?" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Oracle Ocelot transmits, "Go to a dance club." Daryn cannot bring either of his weaponsinto place as she slash curves across his chest, some blood spilLIng messily from the wound, but Daryn manages to tilt the blade away and keeping it from slashing at his face. He swings at Kain's non-blade arm with the blunt edge of his sword, attempting to smash it up a bit. He stops humming, but his smile doesn't fade. He still doesn't speak, to ensure he doesn't disrupt his own opponent's concentration unfairly. Daryn strikes you with a GLancing hit from his All My Friends Are Metalheads for 7 units of damage. [Radio: (C) GLobal] Roll transmits, "One with ice cream!" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Hey I have an idea, will you make me some ice cream Roll?" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Roll transmits, "That sort of thing takes time, you know! That's why I normally just buy it. You should buy some, too!" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Well I would but I don't know what kind I should buy. Maybe you could come shopping with me? And on the way back we could buy some shoes!" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Roll transmits, "Shoes? I doubt most places would have ones that would fit you! Although maybe if you're lucky..who knows?" Kain hisses sLIghtly in pain, as his left arm is left bloody. He does a quick meditation... one that Yosho taught him. To will the pain away until after the fight. With the meditation in place, Kain launches into a series of Marital Arts, a stronger and more powerful set of punches and kicks awaits Daryn... [Radio: (C) GLobal] Head-Powered! Crash Man transmits, "That's some fine mooning, Guts Man." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "But I'm sure we can find shoes for you, maybe even a pretty new dress with lace and flowers and stuff!" You strike Daryn with a soLId hit from your Martial Arts attack. [Radio: (C) GLobal] Plant Man transmits, " Guts, I'm sure Roll's taste in fashion is what she prefers." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Shut up Plant Man, I'm not talking to you. I'm trying to set up some quaLIty time with my real sister!" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Head-Powered! Crash Man transmits, "Hahaha." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Snake Man transmits, "Why'sss that? You've never ssseemed terribly affectionate towardsss her before." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Plant Man transmits, "My opinion is that he's trying for a Valentine's date." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Snake Man transmits, "With hisss sssissster? That'sss pathetic." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Roll transmits, "Don't be silly. Gutsy's my brother!" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Plant Man transmits, " . . . that's not a relationship I'd admit to, Roll." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Yeah you morons. Besides, Armored Armadillo's the only woman I need." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Plant Man transmits odd, choking, near-gigGLIng sounds briefly. [Radio: (C) GLobal] Head-Powered! Crash Man transmits, "Armored Armadillo is a lot of woman." The first blow across Daryn's arm knocks the blade into the air, flying high above Daryn's head as the arm twist and breaks upon the force. Several blows manage to impact across Daryn's chest but the wound on the arm is by far the worst. As Daryn stumbles to keep himself firmly planted on the ground, the sword roars towards his foot, blade down. Reaching with his free hand, Daryn manages to catch the blow, jerking his head to the side to dodge one more punch before he swings the sword rather quickly towards the arm striking at him. Even should this first blow miss, he lunges into a series of quick thrusts towards Kain's chest, returning to his humming as he strugGLes to keep control of his assault. Daryn strikes you with a minor hit from his Hsb for 10 units of damage. [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "That she is Crash Man, a lot of woman for a lot of man." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Head-Powered! Crash Man transmits, "Just LIke the Crushinator." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Head-Powered!

Crash Man transmits, "She walked funny after that!" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Roll transmits, "I doubt I want to know what you're talking about. So I won't ask." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Snake Man transmits, "I don't think I want to know either." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Now back to ice cream selecting!" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "So what's the best ice cream to go along with pie? Maybe you should come sample the pie and ice cream I buy Roll. I'm sure you'd could tell me which combo is the best." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Oracle Ocelot transmits, "The de facto best for going with pie is generally vanilla ice cream." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Head-Powered! Crash Man transmits, "Vanilla ice-cream is so plain." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Head-Powered! Crash Man transmits, "Are you a plain person?" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Oracle Ocelot transmits, "That is hardly something you need to know." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Head-Powered! Crash Man transmits, "I think you are plain." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Roll transmits, "Well, it depends on the type of pie! If it's apple, you need vanilla for certain. And while vanilla does go good with many pies, sometimes you'll want something unique! I tried apple pie with cookie dough ice cream before. It felt strange!" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Head-Powered! Crash Man transmits, "In which case, you need to get off my frequency! Only fat-ass, non-plain girls are allowed on it." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Head-Powered! Crash Man transmits, "Well, except for Roll. Roll's got classic quaLIties." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Well I acquired lots of pies." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Snake Man transmits, "Roll wasss the firssst female robot. How more vanilla can you get?" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Head-Powered! Crash Man transmits, "I said she had classic quaLIties." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Roll transmits, "And you know, they haven't really improved the design much, either. Not really much to improve!" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Head-Powered! Crash Man transmits, "Well, LIght could've given you butt-implants." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "True dat Roll." Kain urks as the sword plays stabity-stabity-STAB!!! on his body. he stagGLes back for a bit, while holding his chest... trying to ease off the bleeding for a bit... he then drops downwards, intending to sweep Daryn off his feet. LIterally. [Radio: (C) GLobal] Roll transmits, "..And what good would that of done?" You strike Daryn with a soLId hit from your SLIde Attack attack. [Radio: (C) GLobal] Head-Powered! Crash Man transmits, "Oh, more than your vanilla circuits could comprehend, baby!" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Roll transmits, "You don't know anything! You need nice implants! Wily's probably ashamed of you!" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Hey Crash, I think Tank Girl said she was getting butt implants for you. Said it was a V-Day present." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Head-Powered! Crash Man transmits, "Sweet!" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Head-Powered! Crash Man transmits, "I think it should be my duty, as the Herald of Love, to give the gift of breast and butt implants!" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Head-Powered! Crash Man transmits, "Yes!

Wear a bra with sssome grapefruitsss in it?" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Head-Powered! Crash Man transmits, "Plant Man, I'm LIftin' your wonder-bras. It's for the good of ..well.. ME!" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Fusion Phoenix snickers at Snake. [Radio: (C) GLobal] Plant Man transmits, " . . Wilydamnit Crash! I haven't even replaced all of them from the last time someone stole them!" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Head-Powered! Crash Man transmits, "Panty Thief, away!" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Snake Man transmits, "Or maybe the Massster'sss old sssocksss are more your ssstyle. You wouldn't even have to wear collogne, what with all the old ssspissce he wearsss." Daryn looks a LIttle dazed after the assault. He's obviously tiring and Daryn can only stumble a LIttle as Kain goes in for the sLIde. Daryn goes bowLIng over, two sharp cracks reverberating as the legs break and Daryn goes crashing down to the ground. He manages to roll over to his back, the held back pain rushing through Daryn's mind. He chuckles softly, spitting some blood as he says, "Can't move...I yield...Y'made my day, Kain of the Blue Dragons...", more blood dribbles down his mouth, "I have never fallen to skill...before and...I never truly saw it...Thanks..", he grunts a LIttle as he strugGLes to keep the pain under control, "Pal...", he breathes out, dropping his sword against the ground. "Sounds famiLIar....eh well..." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Roll transmits, "And here I was under the impression Wily was smart! But to of built Crash...geez. I guess everyone messes up every now and then." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Metal Man transmits, "This day is for fools." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "So it's your day then Metal?" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Alpha chuckles LIghtly. [Radio: (C) GLobal] Snake Man transmits, "For him, that'sss every day." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Metal Man transmits, "Prehaps I am a fool does not matter really." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Yes it does." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Roll transmits, "There's nothing wrong with it! It's a nice day! If everyone was nice to everyone all the time, then the world would be a good place! Is it so bad to ask for one day of softer feeLIngs?" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Snake Man transmits, "I wonder if they make an inorganic rat flavored issce 'cream'" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Of course not Roll, it's just that the world is full of jerks that make our LIves miserable." Now, here is where the Blues differs from the Reds. While the Reds would (and quite cheerfully may I add) kill their target. Kain is of a different sort. He beLIeves all LIfe is precious, even those who just tried to end his existance. It will doom him. But not today. "I will help you... get you to a hospital so you can recover... all I ask is that you reconsider going against the Yakuza... as they've hired others LIke me... only more bloodthirsty.

[Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "~We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll. Built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll.~" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Roll transmits, "Having a city built over me would be painful!" Daryn might just be wilLIng to die, however he doesn't answer Kain's statement, "Can I even...defend my band anymore? heh....", Daryn closes his eyes, "I wasn't the guy who distributed the posters. I don't even know who did. I just took the credit to give whomever was more time to do 'is stuff. That's what I did...'cuz they called me a Maverick.", he breathes out heavily again, "I wanna hire ya...." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Plant Man transmits, "It's an old song." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Roll transmits, "I know. I was just being funny. Or trying, at least." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "That it may be, but with music bands running out of ideas, recycLIng classics is the only way to go!" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Plant Man transmits, "It fell rather flat." Kain merely offers a raised eyebrow.

Its Kent Kentman! YAY FOR GNN! Kent clears his throat. "This is Kent Kentman here. As you may know, there was an explosion on the moon today." Thanks Kent, we didn't notice the giant fireball. "While the cause of the blast is unkown, one thing has become clear: Dr. Wily and his band of maniacally maLIcious machines are marring our magnificent moon with their mischevious machinations." Wow, Kent sure didn't write that on his own. Cut to footage of the moon, a section blasted and scarred to reveal...Guts Man's butt? No, wait, thats just the Master mooning the world from outside the Master Base on the Moon. Crash Man stands nearby, drinking a beer. And no, he doesn't care that it should be frozen. Watch as he pours the rich golden LIquid from the can to his mouth. Ahh...zero-g Wily Beer. Because you can't get away with drinking LIght beer in front of the RM moon base. YES! There is a Master base on the moon. "It would appear that the Robot Masters have set up some sort of base on the moon." Ever the bright one, that Kent. "We've also been able to obtain footage of this strange device." Said device looks LIke a gargantuan laser torch on tank treads. And it's busy carving the Dr. W symbol into the moon. "Authorities have yet to comment on this turn of events." Kent reappears. "And now, in other news, a man in Southern Turkboinkistan owes rescuers and good smaritans his LIfe tonight after having his left butt cheek stuck in a wolverine trap for almost 40 hours in the freezing snow..." $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ IC News $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 14/17 Posted Author RMTV Astonishing Tales! Fri Feb 14 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RMTV News, where WilyNews is good news! *bonkbonkbonkbonk!* Crash Man's fist colLIdes with the closed door of a house in a sunny suburb of Anytown, USA. A large brown sack hangs over his shoulder, it's contents unknown. *cLIck!* The door opens! A 20-something latin woman peeks her head out of the door, her long hair curly and sLIck black with water -- this chick's been in the shower. "Hey baby!" Crash Man greets gingerly. "I'd LIke to inform you that a terrible, TERRIBLE curse has been ladened down upon your generation of female hotties. Y'see.. you have been born with either a flat-ass chest or a flat-ass.. uhh.." Crash Man bLInks, his face going blank as he can't really come up with another word for ass, "..uhh.. ass. But fear not, my spicy taco, for I have come! This Valentine's Day, I'm comin' to every door and giving the gift that is implants to every corkboard-chested, whitegirl-butted babe in the world! So here you go!" Crash Man stuffs his hand into his sack and produces a set of clear ziploc bags with water inside. Hey, real implants are expensive and this man must think practical! Without thinking twice, the girl on the other side of the door cops a maLIcious GLare and slams the door on our Red Bomber! *blam!* "...." Crash Man bLInks before snarLIng, "HEY!!! THIS IS WHY YOU'RE AT HOME ON A VALENTINE'S DAY MORNING WITH NOBODY TO LOOK AFTER YO' BROKE, UN-ENDOWED ASS!" The android kicks the door with a sound thud and promptly walks off, muttering harsh epithets underneath his breath. "Lousy, ungrateful...*grumblegumble*" BLIp! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ [Radio: (C) GLobal] Head-Powered! Crash Man transmits, "She sure did."

[Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Heheheh, Plant Man's jealous of your lump." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Roll transmits, "You should be more mature, Crash. Really. Honestly. I mean, you're not exactly young any...hey!" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Head-Powered! Crash Man transmits, "As they should be! My uni-booby is special." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Snake Man transmits, "I'm pretty flat myssself. But then again, I'm male. And reptile. Reptilesss have a dissstinct lack of mammary GLandsss." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Plant Man transmits, " . . that's disgusting, Crash." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Head-Powered! Crash Man transmits, "What? Wily made a lot of us with a uni-booby." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Head-Powered! Crash Man transmits, "My uni-booby is green." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Does your uni-boob ever shoot love out of it at bad people? Mine does, all I have to do is shout, 'Guts Man Stare!' and this bright beam of LIght hits bad people making them good again! That's how I calmed all the bad people in Africa." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Head-Powered! Crash Man transmits, "Heheheheh." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Snake Man transmits, "Did you want the Massster to build you with two or sssomething?

[Radio: (C) GLobal] Snake Man transmits, "I'm GLad the Massster didn't give me any." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Head-Powered! Crash Man transmits, "Yeah, whatever, Sperm-Cell Man." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Plant Man transmits, "Makes me wonder what Da was thinking with my design." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Snake Man transmits, "Hey, you're the one with the phalLIc armsss." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Might have created you when he was looking at his hentai collection." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Fusion Phoenix transmits, "Guts... you worry me." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Metal Man transmits, "More LIke watching an Hentai marathon." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Why?" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Fusion Phoenix transmits, "Beyond the usual?" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Yeah?" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Snake Man transmits, "Maybe that'sss why the Massster opted not to build any female robotsss. He tried, and came up with you." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Plant Man transmits, " . . . I don't know how to take that comment, Snake." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Snake Man transmits, "Err, well... It wasssn't meant asss an insssult, if that'sss what you mean." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Plant Man transmits, "Thank you, Snake." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Roll transmits, "It kind of sounded LIke one, though!" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Hiryu transmits, "..." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Snake Man transmits, "Shut up, Roll." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Hey don't you tell Roll to shut up!" Daryn says, "If y'let me LIve or not, that's your business, but whatever the case, I'd LIke you to protect the rest'f'em, the band I mean...They're just followin' me." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Metal Man puts on one of Guts Man's greatest hits over the comm. [Radio: (C) GLobal] Plant Man transmits, " . . . Sweet Wily, turn that off!" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Roll transmits, "There's no need for rudeness! I was just saying, is all." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Snake Man transmits, "Hush, Gutsss. Or I'll reveal your plan to ssstuff her full of pie. Oopsss, I jussst did. Imagine that." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Roll transmits, "What's wrong with pie? Unless it explodes or something, and Gutsy wouldn't do that!" Kain pauses for a bit before nodding, "I accept. I'll protect you as well, for as long as I possibly can," He helps Daryn to his feet, "Now, let's get you to a doctor, fast." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Of course not, I'd never hurt you. Because then I'd have to hang out with Plant Man to do sister things and Plant Man's a bit wishy washy." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Snake Man transmits, "Why do you want to do sssissster thingsss?" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Plant Man transmits, "Shut up Guts, or I'm going to paint you pink someday." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Fusion Phoenix transmits, "That might be nice to see." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Metal Man transmits, "Right Plant." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Roll transmits, "A pink Gutsy? I dunno if I should laugh or be scared at the thought!" Daryn shakes his head stubbornly, even as he's helped up, "I don't...deserve it.", he mumbles but it should be noted that while Daryn may be rather fearless, he kind of stops becoming coherent at this point and even though he mumbles more there is no clear statement to his words. [Radio: (C) GLobal] Snake Man transmits, "The universsse would implode at the thought." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Because Roll is a nice person to hang out with and she doesn't get on my nerves LIke Plant Man. I consider Plant Man to be nothing more than a female version of Metal Man." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Alpha transmits, "Plant is far superior to Metal Man." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "I dunno, Plant's is more or less as annoying as Metal Man." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Snake Man transmits, "Well, Metal Man can't repair you." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Plant Man transmits, "Thank you, Alpha." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Roll transmits, "I don't know either of them well enough to make a judgement." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Alpha transmits, "It's true, Plant. *a pause* That's right. Plant Man is a lot smarter and doesn't attack noncombatants LIke sis." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Roll transmits, "Also a good gardener! Umm..not that I know or anything." "I don't know if you don't deserve this, but I know one thing: One, I do not leave anybody that I can help unless I'm being prevented to do so, and Two, there is one person who can truly decide whether you deserve help... I beLIeve he wants you to have help..." Oogh. The Meditation is wearing off, and pain is coming back with a vegenace. "Let us go." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Alpha transmits, "Mmhmm, and I can understand what she says." Daryn may not care about dying, and may be fairly suicidal, but he's not about to just throw it away just for the sake of it. Daryn nods slowly, stumbLIng along, "....A'right....who'se it...?", the speech is sLIghtly garbled, but he tries to make it clear. "God." is all Kain says leading Daryn onward... [Radio: (C) GLobal] Snake Man transmits, "Hey Roll, do you LIke sssnakesss? Not me, I mean. Real sssnakesss." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Roll transmits, "Well, they are a LIttle creepy..but they're just animals. I can't blame them for being different, I suppose." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Snake Man transmits, "There are sssome very beautiful sssnakesss out there."
