As Milky, Spira, Ikiru, Brunnengus and Daedrous all close in to the meeting site, they see a featureless black humanoid speaking with Evan, Thrash, Badcat, Xenocratis, Fred and Firebrand. A fire of communion is burning. Fred's red wings, Thrash's red hair, Xeno's red eye, all match the intensity of the flame burning.

Evan will look a bit shaken and gruff. "What are we to do about Jack...and more importantly Jessica. They offered me her as a barginning chip to join them. Do they really have the capablities to find her?" Evan will shift his weight "I know what im asking is small potatos...compaired to the scheme of there plan."

Tyrant says, "It is hard to tell with Itek. She is a creature who is inherently ideological: she will go to any length and say any lie to serve her cause. Jack may have been captured, mind controlled or undercover; Jess may have been a lie, though it is quite likely Itek found her first."

"When they were holding me there, they were talking about collecting crashing heavens members, and old guards members."...Evan will look to Xeno "If it is so prodent for her plan to collect us, harbringers of the new universe as she called us. Then I'd seem best to be holding all the cards." Evan will conjure a chair and sit in it, then mutter "I wish someone would tell me how to find her."

Xeno shakes his head. "Mr. Excelsior could hide himself from us if he so pleased, and by the description of Itek by Mr. Tyrant and yourself, Itek's power is quite beyond what we are used to." Tyrant says, "This plot to create a new universe... She cannot do it next, but if anyone could, she can."
OOG: Does Jack show up?

a man who with a slightly square jaw, blue (or red depending on which mother was available) hair, one real hand a mechanical hand, wearing a blue shirt and brown pants, and carrying in his pack a book that eminates (to those who can sense it) a strong aura of necromancy (Necronomicon Ex Mortis, for those of you who know latin that translats roughly to the book of the dead) walks up to the house thinking (oh this is going to be bad, why else would he call us all here, oh well whatever it is boomstick will see me through it always has) walks up to the door and knocks waiting to be let in.

OOG: Yeah, see, not only do a good number of folks here probably don't know that's Ash from Evil Dead, but that's only barely a description. I'm saying something like "He has a square jaw, black eyes, black hair, and both his hands are detachable iron gloves."

Jack will teleport into the room and stare blankly at the group of people then at Evan "Thanks a ton Tyrant...You really fucked me their. Blowing my cover, Ganging the One Heaven from me. Who the hell do you think you are! She almost rip my head off after you left!"
Evan will stand and will subtley being charging essensial hell rapture. "You have alot of Nerve coming back Jack. Don't insult us with your, Im spying on them bullshit. You were knee deep in that bitch Nirvana, and you yourself wanted to go in that cage and kill me." Evan will look to Tyrant.

Tyrant looks at Jack. "Allow me to be skeptical if only for one moment. I don't wish to deny your acting ability, but it strikes me that an undercover operation typically requires knowledge of superiors (if only plausible deniability knowledge), infrastructure, planning..."
Xenocratis says, "He is presumed innocent until proven guilty."
Tyrant shrugs. "That is your methodology for determining guilt. Now do note, Evan, that it is possible that Jack does genuinely want to have sex with Nirvana and may have honestly wanted to kill or harm you, or was trying to open the cage by doing so, all without necessarily compromising his story that he was undercover. What I would wonder is how he came upon Itek. I have been searching on and off for, let's see, roughly ten orders of magnitude in years."
Thrash looks at Ashley and says, "Early, how nice!" He is a colossal Native American-looking man, dark red skin, sky blue eyes, long deep red hair, currently in a swimsuit and carrying a stick. He shakes Ashley's hand and says, "Welcome to Crashing Heavens. I won't regale you with stories of your father: you've heard enough of those."

Evan continues glaring at Jack "Yes Jack...how did you come across Itek?" He shifts his gaze to Tyrant and back to Jack again "Did you set me up to find your whore or was just chance?" (Evan will attack Jack, how charged is my spell?)
Jack smirks at the group "Accually after ripping off one of the casinos for a million gp's I came looking for you. Found you in that brothol, then you were gone...Itek told me where I could find you, then she embedded me in a wall and stuck me full of knives." Jack coughs briefly, then continues "She demanded I sign her contract, so I figured this bitch had to be crazy and had to have something up her sleeves. So I signed, figured i could nose around then I found you." He looks to the group then back at Evan "And Nirvana aint my whore! She wants you more then me anyway. Its fucking typical, just like your beloved Jessica...Pffft."
(OOC) If the spell is charged, if not cancel this action.
At the sound of Jessica's name Evan will go berserk, launch his rapture on Jack and tackle him, and proceed to pound the living fuck out of him.

Tyrant shakes his head. "Jack, Jack, Jack. An undercover mission does not come about as a spontaneous coincidence. If you signed that contract, you are obligated to fulfill its terms. She has used that same trick for billions of years. Further, the notion that you would simply up and decide to infiltrate an organization because you encountered them rather than running or calling for backup strikes me as needlessly convoluted. And your story, while being remarkably difficult to disprove, is similarly difficult to prove: that is, if you were to wish to change your loyalties, the facts you describe would be the same. Also, Nirvana seemed just as interested in you. However, let me submit a conundrum. If you were working for them, you would try to maintain ties here and would attempt to explain yourself here. If you were working for us and infiltrating them, you would likely try to avoid Crashing Heavens to build trust. There is an asymmetry here. Further, the hypothesis that you have betrayed the team would be supported by the fact that you did not clear this mission with your superiors."
Xenocratis says, "Putting a million dollars onto black is not ripping off a casino. You simply got lucky. You may have had a 51% chance."
When Evan releases that, Badcat grabs him and holds him. "Hold the fuck on, Evan! I can see you're pissed. But you can't fly off the fucking handle! Jack may be trying to play us or he may be trying to do something really important."

Evan growls and struggles "Hes not trying to do shit! That fuck is a double agent! He's playing us I know it!"
OOC: Does the spell land or just flop due to Badcat?
Jack smiles "So very true Tyrant, and Im not exactly sure how you can know weather or not I accually called for help.....and again, you can stuff your symmetry old man. I came here for help. I went looking for tha boy right there" he points to Evan "Got attacked, which really fucking hurt by the way, got forced into signing the contract, now here I am." Jack clears his throat "Disprove it."
Evan "You dirty son of a bitch! Badcat let go of me!" Evan will attempt to 1st Uni teleport out of his hand and towards Jack.

"Then prove it or shut up."
OOG: Flop.
"So you simply concede that you have no defense, aside from some rhetorical moves that would be embarassing in a sixth grader's debate club. And you cannot be forced into signing the contract, as we all know here, which is a further debit against you, I'm afraid. Now, I cannot 'prove' to a point of logical certainty that you indeed did join Itek, but you continue to provide basis for such an allegation. Further, your evidence for is scarcely compelling: The damage you've taken is superficial at best. If Itek had wanted to force you to sign, she would have tortured you like she did Evan."
Xenocratis says, "Jack, it is not looking too well. However, all of you have extra-Crashing Heavens commitments. Even if Jack has joined another group, that may not be problematic if that membership advances rather than undermines our intents..." Tyrant seems to scowl but waits for more to arrive and bites his proverbial tongue.
Evan is not moving whatsoever. Tyrant shakes his head at Evan.

At that moment, Quion half-drunkenly stumbles in. His mohawk is mussed and his leather jacket has only one sleeve on his body. Krane appears, her insectoid body and spider mandibles smelling of corpses. Sarashito spritzes her with air sanitizer and winks, saying, "I was just interrupted from a concert." And Denios arrives in a bolt of lightning, boxer stance a-ready. Soon, Kumo, Helevena, Foron, Hobol, Dr. Blammo, and the other [NPC] members show up.
Thrash looks around and nods. "Evan was just kidnapped and tortured", he announces in a booming voice, waiting for the impact of that to foist its way in.

Badcat lets go for a second. "Now. I'm letting you go assuming you will stop trying to kill Jack. Even if Jack has betrayed us, we can't kill him. That's wrong, and we'd need information."

Post by Ainsophaur on Mar 6, 2006 20:19:53 GMT -5
Evan gives Badcat an icy stare "I don't want to kill him, I want to make him bleed out! I want a reckoning!" Evan turns back to Jack "I'll see you in the parking lot bitch" Evan then walks ot of the room.

"Yeah, that's not happening either." There is no room. "And do not leave! We have to figure out what we're going to do!"

Evan looks at the group "Oh you must be kidding me. A room full of Old and New guard members...just said we have to figure out what to do?! What a joke, isn't it fucking transparent enough for you old foggies?! We have to stop them. Now I highly doubt anything I have to say will have any importants, as Tyrant has mostly all the facts of what happened. SO! I'd like a beer, and to hit the hot tube."
Jack smirks at Evan "Its so odd we similar we are, I demanded a beer myself after this event from Itek....and a bath...." Jack looks almost creeped out. "So if you please, to keep my cover, they expect me to come back bloodied. I think a beating is in order by the end..."

"Hey! Maybe you're too blinded by self-righteousness to see it..." Thrash says, "Back off, Badcat. The man was just captured and tortured." "Wait a second. This group may not be a dangerous group. They may be proposing something appropriate, something that we can agree with. If we had a chance like this at the Dark Tournament, a chance to find out what they wanted and deal with what they're saying that's true and right, we would have had wet dreams. Then we have to ask, even if we accept that we must stop them, how we'll do it, when we'll do it, who the groups will be... So wait to drown yourself in alcohol, something that won't work anyways, for ten minutes. If you want a beer, you can have one."
Tyrant says, "So you have told them that you will reveal your position to us? I know Itek. Were your loyalties with us, you would be dead."

Post by Ainsophaur on Mar 7, 2006 1:46:57 GMT -5
Jack looks a bit fore lorned "Accually Tyrant, your talking to a dead man. I am to be her Caster Cannon...You see Tyrant, I personally Don't like her, and regret signing that contract, and rushing into things, but then again I don't personally like being fused to structures, and stabbed repeativitly. Or like in Evan's case tortured.." Jack looks at Evan whom is now drinking a beer "That really did look like it hurt when they used you as a racket ball in that cage...and..right...yeah Im pretty sure you still have a few of those poison darts still in you." Evan looks himself over scanning for the darts.
Jack looks a bit more compossed (He really doesn't want this, he wants to be with Itek.)"So, is it at all possible to relieve me of the contract without her knowing it?"

Tyrant says, "Which strikes me as a remarkably good motive to join them more permanently. And again, your story rings false: We will forgive you indiscretions and trust you; she will not. I know Itek. I have known her for the breadth of two universes..." He seems to interrupt himself. Thrash says, "Tyrant, we can protect you from the universe's backlash. If you will grace us with your presence and assistance..." Tyrant nods. "She was the Excelsior arguing that I not help create your universe. She has wanted for eons to turn back the proverbial clock."
Xenocratis is looking forlornly at Evan. He seems to wake up after a second. "Possibly, yes. We would have to investigate the precise means. It would take time. Evan, do sit down." He takes out an ale and hands it to his son. He also offers him an antidote.
Badcat says, "A Caster Cannon! That makes sense! Come to Tenrei to find it..."
Quion says, "Look. Right now there's a lot of shit we don't know. I think we need to hear all the alternatives and information and not jump to conclusions."
Sarashito says, "I was playing a concert before this. I think if we all behaved like we were before, we might make them continue to play their hand..."
Krane smiles in her traditional creepy Xiticix way. "If they do what they were planning to do, that may be because Jack told them to. And vice versa. Ah, the limits of your rationality."

Evan sits on the floor, nurses his ale, and takes the antidote. He rocks himself softly muttering a tune under his breath completely oblivious to his surroundings.
Jack looks at him oddly "You know Xeno, when I first saw him in that cage, he was doing that exact thing...I think he might need some help" Jack taps the side of his head. "As it were, I was a sponge bath and a beer to" he makes quote signs with his fingers "Go home to. Im sure you'll be watching me, so I hope you enjoy the view, and Im sure you'll figure out a way to contact me if you need anything...good day folks" Jack will attempt to leave.

Xeno looks at Jack as if the hounds of hell had just infested his mind. "No, really? I would suppose that my son, tortured while you stood idly by, might need some help! What I wonder is how you have been so callous?! And you are sure as the hells not leaving early! You will be staying here while we plan, with possible information kept sealed from you, then you will stay after so we can debrief you more fully! And this will hopefully shut you up!" Jack feels for a brief moment all the pain Evan felt and indeed a cosmos of more pain foisted upon him. Fred grabs Xeno and says, "He must grow on his own."

Evan will continue as before, this time trying to mingle magic and his 1st universe powers to attempt to fade out of existance, and form some sort of harmony with the fibers of the universe, to simple no longer be...(If you get me drift. Basically like spacing out and thinking of nothing, only on a physical level as well.)
Jack will take the punishment like a man, and cry like a girl.

Evan will smile "I have to." He'll look up into his fathers face from he floor seated position "If I don't all I produce is negativity within myself. I need to balance out...." He'll set his ale down. "I personally think we should do to him what they planned on doing to me. Slay him, revive under midn control, reap his knowledge, and use him as a tool." Evan looks back up at his Father "These are the thoughts that continue coming to me, so please. Allow me to run for a short time...let mother rapture me...please...just long enough to calm down and recover."
