DM: Reese: Bolts up out of her seat, pistol in hand, "Look bitch, I have been fighting out here for more then ten years, fighting to free and liberate more people then you will ever be able to count, lost more friends then you will know, and have fought in battles I should not of been able to sruvive. So before you get all high and mighty about who you call a coward, think a moment. I will not give you a second chance to even imply that I am a coward."
DM: Tristanu Violently erupts from his seat kicking the chair out behind him, sending it smashing against the wall. He slams his fists down on the table as hard as he can (Might need to troll to see if it breaks)) and speaks VERY loud and Angrily. "STOP THIS NONSENSE! WE ARE BOTH TRYING TO FIND ANSWERS HERE AND THIS IS NOT HELPING ONE BIT! i TRIED BEING NICE BUT NOW IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO BE QUIET!"
DM: Simultaneously, Bob bursts up out of his chair, sweeping his arm across Reese's torso to knock her backwards, not caring if she manages to keep her feet or trips over her chair. "Reese, shut the HELL up! And you," here Bob rounds on Dia, pointing at her. "Stop goading her. And YOU," Bob rounds on Tristanu, "sit down and stay calm. We can sort this out like civilized people."
Dianysia takes a deep breath, and speaks quietly. "I am sorry. You are right, Reese... I am being... not nice...I will be nicer.... I will help find your Kam, but please know it might be hard or not... do able...."
Tristanu speaks very quietly to Bob: "Yes...I am sure that WE can sort this out like civilized people...but I'm not so sure THEY can"
Dianysia: "Oh, we most certainly CAN... more of a question of if we WILL..."
Reese: "Metal man, insulting me, and your fellows is not very civlized," Reese says before sitting back down, holstering her pistol.
Dianysia: Either way, I'm tired... you all work out what we need to do... I am okay with most things... I am NOT okay, however, with the way things are now... I am not armed and more than a little unhappy about that...
Dianysia: I am not able to keep me safe.
Dianysia: "Please stop calling him Metal Man, my dear... his name is Tristanu."
Bob nods, sitting back down slowly, glaring at everybody in turn. "Good. Now, let's talk about this. We're agreed in principle to working together, to both solve the mystery of Kam... and solve the mystery of your arrival, yes?"
Dianysia: "I think it's more a mystery of how we get out of here."
Tristanu waits for the compulsory snide comment before speaking...
Bob: "As you will"
Tristanu: "Yes...we both have goals to achieve that can be mutually beneficial"
Tristanu: "We...Obviously *Casts a glare at Dian*...do not belong here and need to go back, and you need to find your missing man"
Jefferson Harco: I beleive that the answer to both of our problems lies within the temple.
Reese: O- "What are you thinking Bob?"
Tristanu: "Agreed"
Bob: O - "It's pretty simple. We send them out to find Kam. I couldn't find any sign that he'd gotten to the hollow before us, and you know Kam wasn't that good at hiding his tracks. And if he's a prisoner... better that we have a little help to find him."
Dianysia: "I don't mind helping you find him... so long as you stop assuming we've caused it, Also, be prepared... he may have switched places with us, may be under a pile of rrock, or - and don't shoot the messenger- might be a turn coat
Reese: o- "These guys are likely to become prisoners themselves out there... if they are that lucky."
Jefferson Harco: well maybe we have to figure out what happened by going back to the
Reese: "What Artifact... a weapon?"
Jefferson Harco: what if that someone else is this Kam character?
Bob: O - That's as may be. But it's not like we could stay here more than a couple more days anyway - they're already sniffing at our tracks."
Jefferson Harco: I dont know really, we were just told to get it.
Tristanu: "We were told it was a weapon of mass destruction...yes"
Dianysia: Why would it be a weapon? It's well... more of a mislocator, so far as I can tell... something that guarantees you loose your keys..."
Jefferson Harco: did you grab it?
Dianysia: No. But we are heavily mislocated
Tristanu rolls his eyes and speaks under his breath "That's what elves are for...we don't need an artifact for that"
Jefferson Harco: well we need to find it, maybe we should go back and get it? maybe it has the answers
Dianysia: And maybe if we ask it really nicely it'll send us home...
Reese: "By now, going back will get you killed," Reese says, "In fact they are probably already fighting over it."
Jefferson Harco glares at Dia, recognizing the obvious sarcasim in her voice
Jefferson Harco: well lets get it back
Dianysia: "Then they won't notice us slipping in... it's our best hope... that's where your homey was supposed to be and that's where we first found... here...
Bob: "But maybe that's just the opening that we need. Reese, think about it. If they're swarming over that thing... then they won't have as many men at camp, and we'll have the opportunity to see if they've got Kam there. And if so... we can either pull him out, or silence him, as the situation calls for."
Jefferson Harco: exactly, lets go
Jefferson Harco gets up as to leave
Bob: "Don't be hasty, son." Bob motions for Jeff to sit down. "This ain't somethin you can rush off to do without proper planning. That'll get you killed before you've gone five miles."
Dianysia: "Not so fast, Jeff... I'm useless now... I can't cast more than simple cantrips... I can't defend myself...."
Jefferson Harco sits back down
Dianysia: "So, what now? You don't trust us any further than you can throw us, which is mutual, and we can't just run off without a plan... what do we do in the meantime.
Tristanu: "Sticking your nose back in that book might help"
Dianysia: "Wouldn't be a problem if I was sure I wasn't going to be shot in the back... I don't mean that offensively, either, but I am at a severe diisadvantage, here...
Reese: "Get you out of that stuff you are wearing now would be a good start," Reese says, looking pointedly at Tristanu.
Bob: "Well, we can treat you to all the hospitality we got here, for now. But I figure we can be on our way by nightfall. And unless y'all got some crazy tricks stored in them funny clothes you got on, I think I know just how we can make this work."
Dianysia: "I can take care of that," Dia jokes, turning and rejoining the group.
Bob: "Take care of which, doll?"
Dianysia: "More seriously... this is our best defense... we use armor to protect... well, he does... do you have anything that would work better?
Jefferson Harco: how can you make this work?
Tristanu awaits his fate
Reese: "That armour wont do him much good here, better off going without," Reese replied, "But I think Bob might have some stuff he can dig up."
Dianysia: "Dia, not Doll...and 'yes'"
Dianysia: "Oh, no... you mean...we'll have two people going commando?""
Jefferson Harco: really? i always thought i would be a loner on that aspect
Bob: "We need to split into two groups. I'll lead one, Reese leads the other. I don't know which of you four are the stealthiest, but your quietest two should go with Reese to the Orc encampment. They'll mostly be off checking out your 'temple' as you call it. You can scout out the place, figure out if Kam is there as I suspect, and if so, figure out what to do. Reese, I trust your decision on this one."
Dianysia: "Ummm.... Jeff is probably the ONLY one even close to quiet in our group..."
Reese: G- "That sounds promising..."
Jefferson Harco: im pretty good at going commando
Dianysia: "Well, I usually am, but Reese and I don't seem to quite see eye-to-eye and are less than quiet when combined."
Jefferson Harco: im probably the best there is
Jefferson Harco: ask the rest of em
Bob: "Meanwhile, I'll take the tin can with me and whoever is left of the 4 of you, and we'll go back to this 'temple' place. I can keep you out of sight, until the alarm is raised at camp. Reese, I expect you to set SOME sort of a diversion, at least. It'll take them a minimum of half an hour to get their forces back. Once they leave, the three of us can get in, get this artifact thingy, and get out. We'll meet you back here."
Dianysia: "Okay, for the last time... his name is Tristanu... not Tin Man or Metal Man," Dia says defensively.
Jefferson Harco: we remember your names, its only fair that you try to remember ours
Reese: "Well Pointy Ear, he is Tin Man as long as ihe is in a tin can, anyways, get some rest and gear up who ever is coming with me, we will leave first light tomorrow," Reese says before getting up.
Tristanu: "Agreed...I am not the stealthy kind...And I think Dia should go with Reese *slight grin*"
Bob: "No, Reese. We need to do this tonight. We'll need the cover of night to get anything done. You know they can't see out past thirty feet at night, same as me. This way you've at least got SOME movement choices."
Tristanu: "After all...looks like they need to get to know each other a bit better"
Dianysia: "She's ALL yours Jeff...Hmm... not a good idea... unless you want the diversion occuring HERE... Show me where I can stay for now, Bob...I said I'd be nice... it's getting a bit more difficult not to start a World War right now."
Dianysia whispers in elven.
Jefferson Harco: ok so who am I with?
Dianysia: Reese... she's all yours...
Bob: "Sounds like it'll be you and Reese heading out to the encampment tonight."
Bob: "Along with the cutie here."
Reese: "Can we at least find them a sidearm before we head out?" Reese asks.
Dianysia: "Who's he calling the cutie?"
Jefferson Harco: hes probably talking about me
Jefferson Harco: sidearm? i have two of them *starts punching furiously into the air*
Dianysia: "Oh, that'd be great... I can't wait to see how they work...I can't wait to take a couple apart!"
Bob: "Nice. We got a martial arts wannabe."
Jefferson Harco: I call this lefty, and this one righty
Dianysia: "Actually, he's pretty good. Besides, he can't own a gun."
Jefferson Harco is showing off his left and right arms as they are awesome
Dianysia: So, I'm sticking with Tristanu, Jeff is going with Reese, right?
Jefferson Harco: i have been blessed with poverty
Bob: "Well, we need two and two... so which of you dolls is goin with the sack-cloth wonder?"
Jefferson Harco: and any wealth i come across is given to those who need it
Dianysia: "Yeah... it makes you quite.... SPECIAL..."
Reese: Grins at Bob.
Dianysia: "Beth woulod probably get along better..."
Jefferson Harco: So who all is going commando with me....Trist? are you 'in'?
Dianysia: Besides, Tristanu has served as my protector since we've set out, and I've come to rely on him.
Dianysia: No, Jeff... he's a little less than quiet, which is what you need in this endeavor.
Jefferson Harco: oooh gotcha
Dianysia: "And anyways... He's obviously the only one who can shut me up...." Dia gestures at the aftermath of Tristanu's explosion.
Bob: "It's not so much stealth that's needed, as much as just being able to shut up, stay close, and go where Reese tells you. It's not like you can sneak past a motion detector anyway. Just stay out of the spotlights, and you should be good."
Dianysia: "Yeah... orders, me... not best of friends..."
Dianysia: What in the fifth level of the abyss are you talking about? Spotlight? Motion detector?
Bob: "Spotlights, kinda like our lights here around the room, but brighter and directed. Motion detectors... sometimes I forget how little you people know. They're devices that'll trigger an alarm if anything moves near 'em."
Jefferson Harco: so why dont we just punch them. so they cant alarm anything
Bob rolls his eyes at Jeff's question. "Because to get close enough to punch, you'd have to MOVE close to 'em. Come on, son, use your noggin."
Dianysia: "Oh, she can speak..."
Jefferson Harco: ah, gotcha, well maybe ill just commando past them and let them be
Bob sighs. "Reese, make sure you note where their sensors are and keep this fool away from 'em. WELL away."
Jefferson Harco: ok, so im kinda tired, i think im gonna rest up before this venture
Dianysia: "That's Jeff... only WE can call him a fool."
Reese: "Well whoever is coming with me, meet me here in a few hours. Be ready to go," then turning to Bob in Goblin, "If this movie fighter gets me killed, I am going to haunt you until you die...."
Jefferson Harco: just point me to the hay so i can hit it.
Bob: Right then. Tal will take care of everything. And if y'all need anything, just talk to him, he'll get you set up.
Dianysia: I need a... what's it called... fiream?
Tristanu does not want his arm on fire
Dianysia: "You know... that noisy metal tosser?"
Bob: Well now, those things don't exactly grow on trees. You got anything in exchange? Normally we sell the excess for food and supplies. If you've got something else we can sell instead, I might be able to get you a pistol...
Dianysia: Umm... I doubt I have anything of value for you...
Dianysia: You can have Beth, though... I'd exchange that for a firearn...
Dianysia: And what's a pistol?
Bob shakes his head. "Without something of equal value, ain't no way I can see justifying handing over equipment to you."
Dianysia: "Well, what do you find of value?"
Jefferson Harco is resting before his big day
Bob: "Anything we can trade for supplies to the smugglers. Anything with intrinsic value, or military equipment. Since you're not likely to have any of that... probably just leaves valuables."
Dianysia: Whatever... Maybe Jeff can bring one back from the diversion.
Bob: "As for me, I'm off. If you need anything, talk to Tal there. I'll see ALL of you back here by an hour before sundown. Any questions?"
Bob: "Guess not."
Dianysia: "Nope."
DM: okay, anybody have anything they need to do during the day? Tal suggests that y'all at least get some rest, if not actual sleep, since you'll be up late tonight...
Jefferson Harco: rest
Dianysia: Towards the end of the evening, I'll request Tristanu to come to my roon
Tristanu: "You wanted to talk?"
Dianysia: "Yes. Shut the door would you? Thanks.As a pally, I wanted your opinion on something... I've been reading through this journal comments about some illness spreading...
Tristanu: Illness?
Dianysia: It mentions the cardinal coming for a visit at the temple. He met with some of the church higher-ups and left angry. Shortly thereafter, a fever started spreading... a week after the visit is the last entry.. .the rest of the journal is blank."
Tristanu: "So, before I say anything...what do YOU make of it?"
Dianysia: "I'm not sure... not a skilled healer...Could be a coincidental head cold as far as I know. I wonder if we should ask Beth... she is church related...Even if from a different plane...
Tristanu: "Yes...this is true...but I think this issue may well transcend religious principals. Also...between you and me...did you actually find the artifact in the temple?"
Dianysia: "How 'between you and me' would this stay?"
Tristanu: "Though I already have my answer...I will still assure you that only we would know"
Tristanu adds this almost as an afterthought: "...for now"
Dianysia: Yes, I found it. I definitely know where it is... you may not want to use it though... may mean human sacrifice...Do you think asking beth would be a good idea?
Tristanu: "No...only a fool would use it without knowing how...what we need to do is try to figure it out first...and yes, that may involve help"
Dianysia: "I meant about the illness... Beth is irrelevant to the artifact."
Tristanu: "Let me see it"
Dianysia hands him the journal
Tristanu: "You very well know what I mean...now let me see the artifact"
Dianysia: "I didn't say I had it."
Tristanu shows some mild restraint. "I am not as dumb as most paladins...please do not play games with me"
Dianysia calls Jayde over and removes a blanket covered ball-shape and unwraps the artifact., leaving the blanket beneath it.
Tristanu: "Very odd...please, keep it safe as you have already been...whatever happens...don't let it get away from you...it may very well be our only way back"
Tristanu hands the artifact back to Dian
Dianysia wraps the artifact and puts it back where it was. "Jayde's the safest place I know. Now, I'm going to ask for Beth."
Tristanu: yes...the journal now
Dianysia hands you back the journal again
Tristanu does a quick scan of the pages while waiting for Beth
Dianysia knocks on a few nearby doors looking for Beth, Jayde trotting alongside
DM: Jeff is in the closest room
Dianysia: I stop knocking on doors when I find Beth
Dianysia: "Sorrfy, wrong number..." and moves on
DM: couple empty ones, Beth is about 4 down
Dianysia: Knock Knock
Bethany: Eventually Beth is found, only wearing her trousers and a t-shirt now, and see looks at Dianysia, and judging from the state of Beth's hair, and the look on her face, she was just woken up.
Dianysia: "Uh, sorry... I didn't mean to...er, I was hoping you might know something..."
Dianysia: "I mean, something relevant.. not just anythihng... and... could you come to my room?"
Dianysia leads the way to her room.
Tristanu ruffles up his hair and makes his clothes look hastily put on
Dianysia stops, mouth open... "Um... that's not why I asked you here... Uh... you know Beth..."
Dianysia is bright red
Tristanu Walks to the door and moves for Beth and Dia to step in...makes himself look ruffled as an unfamiliar person passes the door in the hall...nods and closes the door..."We need your opinion on something
Dianysia glares. "Subtle, Tristanu.... Why don't you explain? I'm going to go over here and shoot myself with my crossbow."
Tristanu tosses the journal to Beth..."I'll let Dia explain"
Dianysia gives Beth the same information as Tristanu.
Dianysia takes a seat on her bed in a neutral NON provocative fashion,
Jefferson Harco is sleeping, none the wiser to the antics of the rest of the party
Dianysia: Beth, given that this is related to the church... and our churches have some correlations... I was wondering if you might knoiw anything about this?
Dianysia: I mean, what is your take on any of this?
Dianysia: I'm also curious what your general take on it would be... Do you have a Cardinal here as well?
Dianysia: Hmm... well, Tristanu... you have anything you'd like to discuss with her about this? I'm just trying to find her take and any information.... period...:
Tristanu: What I need to know is whether the church has undergone any drastic changes of structure in the past 30 years or so....and if so...anything out of the ordinary that has resulted out of it"
Dianysia: "What's his or her name?"
Tristanu: "This new Cardinal that she speaks of ((I assume you translate))...is he/she a very respected person? Or somewhat secretive?"
Dianysia: I'm aware of this... I'm just wanting to see if there is any correlation between our world and theirs... if they are connected in any way,"
Dianysia: "Well, I'm sorry for dragging you out of bed for this...Hey, just out of curiosity...hwhere do you go for healing here? Where I'm from, you go to Clerics or paladins...I'd love to learn anything new.. and where do I get clothes like... well... you normally wear.."
Tristanu: "I hope you understand that we are just trying to figure out what is going on...I want to get to the bottom of this all and needed to see if you had any information from this new world that we would not know"
Dianysia: "Are there any doctors near? I'm sure Jeff will need them by the end of the night..."
Tristanu: "ok...we should get some sleep...we have a busy night ahead of us...thank you
Dianysia: "Can you... let Jeff know this... in a oh... non we-told-you-to manner?"
Dianysia: "That's the problem... he doesn't... always think things through... and it'll leave you all in a bad spot if he gets injured..."
Dianysia: "Sorry... okay... um, mind messing yourself up a bit? Looks a little less suspicious..."
Tristanu snickers
Dianysia glares at Tristanu
Bethany: D- "I do mind, where I come from a womans honor is her most valuable commodity, and it has been unspoiled so far, and it will not be alluded to as having been spoiled now."
Tristanu smiles "Good for you...we shall see you when it is time to leave"
Dianysia: "A woman's honor is great... the threat of conspiracy within the context of a possible enemy's lair is a completely different story.
Dianysia makes no move to stop her or anything, however.
Tristanu laughs slightly..."Conspiracy? She is one of them after all"
Dianysia: "Touchy one, isn't she? I'd love to see how she acts on Elven wine... see what she's really like,"
Dianysia: "Well, I guess I should take care of my appearance..."
Dianysia: Whatever. "D I, however, am not too good to mess my rep... I'
DM: okay... moving on to an hour before sunset... Bob is waiting back in the main room, wearing the same strangely mottled garb, with a few bundles on the table behind him.
Jefferson Harco wakes up and starts moving towards the main room
Dianysia: "What have you got for us today, Bob?"
Jefferson Harco: yeah...*yawn*...
Tristanu shows up groggy
Dianysia shows up quite awake.
Bob: "Awright folks, siddown for a sec, I've got some toys for y'all. Since I figure you ain't got nothin like 'em wherever it is you come from, I'm gonna go through it nice and easy to start. First off, for the three of you who ain't wearing a ton of metal, I've got some fatigues. Basically, it's close like I'm wearing, got lots of good pockets for keeping stuff handy, and it'll keep you from drawing attention like the funny clothes you got on now would do."
Bob turns to Jeff. "And before you ask the question son, I got several pairs of orc boots layin around, we can see if we got somethin in your size that'll replace those sandals you're wearing."
Bob: O - I leave the exact makeup to y'all, but I need Tristanu to come with me, because there's no way he'd be able to run away from an orc encampment fast enough - so it's you or Dia that goes with Reese.
Tristanu waits for his bearings
Bob: "Now, Tristanu (I get that pronounced right, son?). I checked, we don't got anything that'd protect you as well as that outlandish getup - even tho it's got you slowed down pretty bad, it'll stop a glancing bullet, and should protect you against shrapnel pretty good. But if you don't mind, we can get some paint on there, get it shining not quite as bright, so that any moonlight won't turn you into a lantern."
Tristanu: "If that's what you feel should be done...I leave it to you"
Tristanu: "My armor is just inside the door of my room"
Dianysia: "I guess he won't care for your Nimbus either...”
Tristanu: "Yeah...but I don't need the armor for that!"
Dianysia looks him over. "You know, you look much better without it... never cared for the Knight in Shining Armor ideal."
Jefferson Harco: I'd rather keep the sandals
Reese: Reese steps into the room, wearing a similar outfit to when she was first seen, although her jacket is under her pack and vest. "We ready to roll yet? And wear the boots, sandals are just asking to get something to bite a toe off."
Tristanu: "Yes...well...I appreciate it's "bulling" or whatever deflecting ability"
Jefferson Harco: as i said earlier, i cannot use those boots, i prefer not to be in possession of items
Dianysia: "I didn't say not to wear it... just commented... besides, you have helm-hair when you take it off.
Jefferson Harco: i have my rations, as well as righty and lefty
Tristanu seems to valiantly check his hair with his hand as if it were no longer his
Bob: "Perfect. We'll get it camo'd up, and you'll be good to go. Last toy I got for each of you... called a radio. We'll need it to keep in contact. I'll need it back before you leave wherever though, we don't have a lot to spare." Bob pulls out a small boxy device with what looks like a little stick pointing out one end, connected by a strange spiraling rope to another small boxy piece. "You put this here large part on your belt, and it does the work. This other part you attach to the shoulder of your jacket, and it has the button on the side... you push that button and talk into it, everybody else's will repeat whatever you say. To control how loud everybody's voice is, you twist this little knob here. Since y'all don't have any radio discipline, I'll keep this simple. Don't use it to talk unless Reese or I tell you to. A radio going off at the wrong time can get your buddies killed."
Tristanu: "Helm hair? odd"
Tristanu looks at the "ray-dee-oh" with apprehension
Dianysia: "Yeah, whatever... can we get on with this? Don't worry, Tristanu... I don't THINK it bites..."
Tristanu: "Seems as though it carries with it alot more risk than it's worth"
Reese: "If used wrong, yes," Reese says.
Bob tosses the box to Trist. "Just take it son. It lets us stay coordinated with Reese's group even though there's miles between us. Gives us an advantage."
Dianysia: Agreed... hmm...If I'd known we'd need this, I would have switched spells... ah well.
Dianysia: "Hmm... which way is making it louder and which is softer?"
Tristanu: "I suddenly wish I had packed rings of communication"
Reese: "Right is loud, left is soft."
Bob demonstrates the radio to Dia, making sure to hand over the fatigues at the same time. "And hurry, we want to be on the move by sunset."
Dianysia: "Wonderful... let's do this... the sooner I get done playing commando, the sooner I can get home and away from you."
Jefferson Harco: as much as id love to play with your gadgets
Jefferson Harco: i cannot take this
Jefferson Harco: you will have to rely on hand signs
Dianysia mumbles "I've got some hand signs."
Jefferson Harco: this is go *signals pointing motion*, and this is stop *clenched fist at head level* you got that?
Jefferson Harco: sorry any other signs i missed Dia?
Tristanu grabs Dia's hands to stop her from showing Jeff her intent
Dianysia: "Um, pointing is usually directing, and open handed waving is usually a signal to move forward.. I don't remember the one for move forward slowly...”
Reese: Reese only grins at Jeff, then holds two fingers towards her eyes, then makes a half circle to the right with her hand, and then holds up a clenched fist, "What does that mean genius?" she says to Jeff.
Jefferson Harco: yeah of course i do
Reese: "Then what would you do?"
Jefferson Harco: keep watch to the right, run a sweep pattern and stop
Dianysia wonders aloud why wer're sweeping anything
Reese: "Wrong, just stay on my tail, keep your head low and you might just have one to return with. DO NOT advance without me telling you to..." Reese replies, then picks up her rifle, and starts to head towards the cave exit.
Jefferson Harco: wait you didnt tell me what it means
Dianysia: If you’re making a distraction, let's just move in cause an explosion and leave?"
Reese: "It would take you to long to learn all the hand signels, just move," she calls back.
Jefferson Harco runs up ahead
Jefferson Harco: how about you just use the signs i gave you
Bob: "Not JUST a distraction, darlin... they also gotta find out about Kam
Tristanu: "Let's get geared up and out of here"
Tristanu: "We are losing valuable time"
Reese: "Look buddy, you are in my war, and your signels are part of the whole, however they alone are useless," Reese said, "Now shut up and follow, make sure the pointy ear is with you."
Dianysia stops and turns irritably. "For the last time... It'd Dia, or Dianysia if you need a longer one... It is NOT Darling. Not to mention you are laeving one of your more valuable members to go pick a fight." **
Jefferson Harco stops in his tracks
Tristanu: "GUYS! Where are you all going? I'm still waiting for my armor to be done!"
Jefferson Harco: first off, im not going with you until you respect me, I cant even begin to dream of how we got here or why, but all i know is that i dont desevere that kinda of talk
Dianysia: "Have I made myself clear?"
Bob just chuckles. "Ah, it's just my way. You'll get used to it."
Jefferson Harco: so unless you can take on whatever with whatever you got in your hands there, you better start treating us like friends not foes
Tristanu just hangs head and heads back to his room
Reese: Reese turns around to Jeff, and says, "You have yet to earn my respect. You have denied everything we have given you that will help us complete this, and furthermore I am treating you no different then any new recruit placed under my command. Follow my orders well, and you might get a more firendly attidtude, until then, toughin the fuck up, and follow me damn orders."
Dianysia starts to mutter some unknown words, but gets nippedc in the ankle by Jayde. "Dammit, Jayde... just ruin my fun."
Reese: Reese yells into the cave noticing she is missing someone, "Beth, we're waiting!"
Dianysia: "You're right though... he's not good enough for my fireball..."
Jefferson Harco: well to be given respect you yourself must earn it
Jefferson Harco: and for someone whos always in commnand you have forced followers,
Jefferson Harco: not people who follow you by choice
Reese: "No, this is called war, and people like me keep you alive, that is why I have followers," Reese says, then nods to Bob as he approachs.
Jefferson Harco: ive kept myself alive
Jefferson Harco: you dont have followers, i correct myself, you have drones
Jefferson Harco: who you force to do your dirty work
Jefferson Harco: because you cannot get the job done yourself
Bob steps forward, in between Reese and Jeff. "Okay you two, settle down. Son, I'm not sure if you've heard of a chain of command, but for this little venture tonight, Reese is in charge - that means she gives you an order, you jump. She's got the compbat experience here. And frankly, I don't know you, so I don't trust putting one of my people under your command. And you're following ME by choice, because I'm gonna help you get back wherever it is you came from. I'm putting Reese in charge of your group. You don't wanna take her orders, then go back to your room, sit the fuck down, and wait until we get back. I'd rather send a party out underhanded than with someone who won't take orders."
Bob: I ain't sayin you gotta like her. That's asking too much. But for tonight, when it comes to this job... do what she says, and argue about it later. Otherwise you're gonna get somebody killed.
Jefferson Harco: ill go with, ill do what i have to do
Dianysia: No, we don't choose to follow you. We do so because othewise we die... Assuming we don't anyways.... You've made it very clear if we don't help you wer're assumed guilty,. Now either deal with us or get out of our way... either way, I don't really care.
Reese: "Good, now lets get moving before the sun returns," Reese said, turning back around, "Fall in and move out."
Jefferson Harco: not till you apologize,
Bob: "You choose to follow me because the alternatives are worse - but it's still a choice."
Jefferson Harco: even though your in command, you still dont deserve the right to talk to me like that.
Jefferson Harco: you can lead, by example, not by harrasement
Dianysia: "Die or die..." mutters Dia. "Real choice."
Reese: "Are you a fucking retard?" Reese says to Jeff, "You aint ever seen an example. Get the frack moving, we do not have time for you to be a child."
Bob turns on Reese. "And you can knock that shit off right now. Just because I put you in command, don't mean they're used to military discipline. Treat 'em as you would new recruits. They DON'T know what they're doing, which means you take it easy. We ain't the marines here. Ease down, back off your pride some, or you ain't goin either."
Jefferson Harco: thank you Bob, its easy to take orders from someone who can be seen as a freind
Jefferson Harco: other than someone you see as being hostile all the time
Dianysia obviously bites back a comment.
Reese: G- "I might be better off not going sir, he is going to get me killed. Going to tell him to drop, and he is going to keep standing because I didn't say it nicely."
Bob: G - "Look at it this way, Reese. Either you find a way to work nice with these folks, or we never find out what happened to Kam. Right now, they're our only real option. Or are you really saying that you'd rather abandon Kam to whatever fate because you can't swallow your pride?"
Dianysia remembers that she forgot to change into her fatigues, and does so now."
Reese: G- "Pride aint got nothing to do with it. You know this is how I treat recruits, especially if they are being tossed into combat without any training, and no I am not going to abandon Kam." The switching to her common, "Ok, fall and move."
Jefferson Harco: ahem...
Bob mutters softly, still in goblin. "And you wonder why I never give you the new recruits?"
Dianysia looks highly confused...."Why are we falling?"
Jefferson Harco: we'll talk about your apology after
Dianysia: Dia smiles, finding the fatigues rather comfy. "Can I keep these when we're done?"
Dianysia: "Oh, and Bob, can you take care of my clothes? They're important to me..."
Reese: "Up to Bob, I don't handle supply, now let’s move out," she says again, and starting for the exit once more.
Bob: "Sure thing, sweetheart."
Dianysia just rolls eyes, realizing he's hopeless, only later realizing she wasn't sure which he'd agreed to.
