Oooh Matron.....

[Jent]

"I got all of my stuff ecept a magic bottle(and no,its not a baby one).But I got a spare.Mind if I upgrade the min-van?"

[Swix]

((Whoever said it was EC only??? I think the idea is we just wanna go back to the Cave...))

*Fade raises an eyebrow slightly as the others go outside and net takes control of the mini-bus. She nods as Ruster mentions about weapons and starts moving towards the other buildings, Fade goes to join her, finding strength she'd thought had left her came back as a purpose lodged itself in her mind*

I want my Sapphire Dagger back

*She states. It was the only thing she had left that had any meaning to her, and Fade manages a fast jog*
_____________________________________________________________
*Nola, now a fully grown woman and quite deadly stood and looked commanding in the Corrupted Cave. She had a staff which possessed bladed tips as well as her single hidden dagger, and her yellowy green eyes now showed, if possible, more evil in them. She was guarding a door in the Cave, it led to the Headmasters Office*

*On the other side of the door was Kalat, who had almost grown to seven foot tall, and was extremely muscular. Kalat still had his shorgun, but had also 'borrowed' a longsword from one of their victims. Kalat sighed, talking to Nola telepathically*

Kalat:~Why'd they ban sharades night?~
Nola:~Apparently some people found it offensive~
Kalat:~But... This is the Evil Council. Since when do we care when people find things offensive?~
Nola:~Since the Headmaster before Nobu I think~
Kalat:~Sooo... Can't we just get him to change it?~
Nola:~No, no-one knows where the documents went. We think the rebels took it~
Kalat:~Oh. I wish the old EC were back, then maybe we wouldn't have all this trouble~
Nola:~I know. We used to have so much fun~

[GBE]

Nobu, now well versed in detecting and listening to telepathic speach, without being detected heard the private conversation between Nola and Kalat. Looking up at Kalat, "So do I. I think the blue one ate the documents when he was kicked out by his son. He always did eat paperwork..."

Looking at a fax just in, it informs him of some of the EC members rebelling. Aparently there's a four-way split amongst the ranks, five if himself the immediate leaders of the EC were to be counted. Nobu had made it a rule for members to be within the hive mind now, especially since The Evil Angel seemed to have managed to have slept with some as of yet undetermined female and gained several warrior-esque children.

It usually gave everyone an advantage, especially him, as Drone's daughter, Stripe and he had been going out. Stripe was now Queen of the Hive Mind and the wasp colony. Drone had been chased out by her offspring not much longer after the other EC members fled. So he could get information that Stripe could withould from others.

Looking at Kalat, "Nola, can you scare the ranks into rejoining. The mutant chickens are advancing on cave systems 30 to 40. If they get any closer, we'll have to bring out the explosives, which means The Evil Angel will return."

Slammig his fist on the table, a small sphere of darkness shrouded it temporarily. He looked over at his weapon, the Staff of Darkness. Blinded anyone it touched, and could cause severe depression, and allow Nola free range on their minds.
______________________

Drone old, but still virile and strong, had been monitoring the retirement home for some time, awaiting an oppurtunity to help rescue her old friends, and reclaim the cave. A small group of old looking wasps coverge inside of the mini-van on the steering wheel, her signal that she's watching and waiting.

Domino stands up struggling with her two sticks, walking after Whiteoak, after Ruster had broken the seal, she felt a new life inside of her, almost as if something had been repressed. She found she could now support herself on one walking stick. Dropping the other, she follows everyone outside, and sees Ruster heading towards a shed. She follows expectantly.

((BTW - Domino has a child, a good one, if you're interested in fathering him, let me know ))

Phase, in his old age had tracked Fade to this address. Pulling up outside the retirement home, he was in an unmarked plain blue car, engine switched off. He was dressed as an retired yachtsman. He watches the events unfold, slowly...
___________________

((Here comes Matron! ))

Awoken from her gentle (snigger) slumber, by an incessant pager, she checks it, to see that the oldies are gathering and escaping for a rebellion. Reaching for her stick of tiredness, she storms down the stairs, to the orderly break room, and booms her voice around the room, ordering them to get themselves collected and ready with sleeping pills and other foul medication....

[addman]

Net, why don't you drive the van into the outhouses? Ram the doors down!

*Addman steadily climbed into the back of the mini bus and sat on one of the uncomfortable bus seats. He looked around for a seatbelt, but couldn't locate one.*

Curse these death traps.

--------------------------------------------

*Radman walked straight into Kalat and Nola, disturbing their conversation*

Rarglblblblblraaaaaniiiiiirarrrrr

Translation: Why does everything seem to have gone downhill since the elders were kicked out? We need to find some way of solidifying the EC once again. Oh and, from now on, call me Prince Radman.

[Jent]

*Then trace walked in.* "Addman you need help."

[Swix]

*Fade stops, removing the earmuffs slightly she slowly turns to stare at the unmarked blue car. Something in the sound of the yachtsman inside was familiar, but she couldn't quite place it. She blinks her once perpetually cold eyes, which for an instant soften. She knew, she knew who was in there. But she couldn't remember who it was*

*Fade turns back back to the building Ruster was making her way towards, she wanted her Sapphire Dagger back. Right now. Fade disappears again, this time deliberately*
...
...
...

*Shortly after Fade disappears, alarms that would have alerted anyone to Rusters approach or theft of their 'display pieces (aka our weapons)' are turned off. Somebody had gotten in and out of their computers with skills far beyond those you'd think elderly people would have... Fade reappears just outside the door, attempting to indicate they can steal their weapons back*
_____________________________________________________________
*Nola gets a slight gleam in her eyes... that is, before Radman walked straight into her and Kalat*

Nola: Damnable furred carpet!... Oh it's just you Radman

*Kalat stifles a laugh, before clearing his throat and looking towards Nobu. He looks serious*

Kalat: We can't have him running around. Not with this mess...

*Nola regains her composure, raising a red eyebrow at Radman*

Nola: Yes umm, Prince Radman, we do. I can scare them into it temporarily, but it doesn't last long enough. I think, we should get the elders back

*Nola then sets about the task of going through the split groups minds, terrify them with their own memories and nightmares. Until they agree to rejoin or she wouldn't stop it. There's a rather disturbing twisted smile on her face as she does this*

[Netdroid9]

[Swix]

*Fade staggers slightly as Net rams the place and sends asbestos into the air. Unfortunately she's very close to it and starts uncontrollably coughing to get the substance out of her lungs*

[Ruster]

Ruster glanced behind her as she heard an engine roaring into life.
A second glance told her all she needed to know about how to get into the outbuilding. It also told her about how fast she needed to get out of the way.

*CRASH*

As the clouds settled, Ruster plunged forwards into the darkness to find...

What appeared to be a delicatley lit oblong room. It was so long that the end could not be seen, it just faded into darkness.
The walls, celing and floor were covered with a light absorbing black velvet and down both sides and down the middle of the room were show cases, from which the light emminated.
In these cases were innumerable numbers of wepons and magic objects.
These were lit in a way so they glittered and shone, showing off their best qualites.
This was a private collection.

As Ruster's chair carried her silently down the isle (sp), she gazed, awe-struck at the glittering wepons she saw aged and gnarled staffs with strange glows; daggars with their jeweled hilts and scabbards; swords of mystery and vials of poison; pouches of herbs and Wands of enchantment.

But one thing that was common between all of these was the fact that all were dusted and cared for, oiled and polished, as if they were prizes.
And the other thing that was strange was the fact that in front of every single object of power, was a card. A card on a little stand, some new, some browned with age.

Ruster came to a halt as she passed a pair of venomous looking daggers and came to rest in front of a long case that was not as brightly lit as the others. In the case was a long, Needle-thin sword and a black scabbard, made to ba worn across the back. Next to it was a small wooden carved box. It's silver latch looked damaged, twisted somehow as if it had been forced, but had resisted.

The card in front of the cabinet read:

Ruster,
Night Sword
and small wooden carved box, contents unknown
Date of possession/current owner death: 8/7/2006

Ruster gasped, that date was two weeks from today.
So that was the Matron's game. Murderer and hoarder.

She reached out her hand and touched it to the wood of the case. The lid creaked open as shoots grew between it and the case.
Soon the lid was wide open adn Ruster rubber her ebony ands together.
Gingerly she reached out and gently took the box from its cushion. She lovingly ran her aged fingers over it's familiar carved surface, and down to the damaged latch, before easily flicking it open to examine the treasured insides.
There lay, like grains of sand, the precious seeds of the Delphi plant. A source of power when none was availiable. Gold dust to her people.

[GBE]

((Very well Net, I accept, this rather, intruiging offspring.... Hmmm, limited powers over time, with incredible agility, and head for numbers, fighting, swordsmanship and computers... Anything else we should add?

And, uhm, Fade, do you accept the random proposal? Phase and Fade having a child? Go on. Go oooooon. You know it'd be quite amusing...))

Domino walks into the now slightly damaged out-house, searching for her gun. Upon finally finding it, she struggles to hold it at first in one hand. But the spirit within, left alone for far too long, can feel her prescence. It thought she was dead. Now it found reason to be strong and powerful again. It spreads a new energy and warmth into Domino.

Something inside her wakes up, it's a portion of the parasite that got left behind when it moved on. however, it had been slowly reforming. But because of her old age it had taken a long time. Dropping her cane, she runs her fingers over the gun. She could feel a virile strength inside her. She was going to enjoy firing the gun...

Domino and Nets son was on his way to the retirement centre to see them both. He'd jsut arrived when the mini-bus crashed into the out-house. Having got of his data-cycle (a motorcycle created purely using an incredibly difficult mathematical equasion with added modifications), he had approached the window of the mini-bus, "Still causing mischeif, Dad...?"

((Net, roleplay him as much as you want, we need a name... ))

((Is no-one going to notice Drones ageing wasps on the steering wheel? lol))

Nobu looks at Kalat, thinking, "You know if we make an attempt to recover the elders, the EC will split. We'll have civil war on our hands. We will have to fight our own. That goes against the rules. So, we have to do what we do best, decieve all, and get them back.

Once the elders are here, then hopefully they'll fall into line? But the chickens are still gaining ground. Can we send in the mutant foxes yet?"
___________________________________________________________

Phase sees Fade looking at him for a few moments. He could see her trying to remember who he was. This almost insulted him, since he'd had run-ins with her an innumerable amount of times. She would remember eventually.
_________

((Matron, a killer? Noooo. Certainly sadistic. But a killer, bit harsh. Must be someone framing her? ))

The matron finally reaches the dining room, almost putrid with anger. All of the oldies had left, and there was a nurse and a doctor who were apparently fumbling one another. She hits them both with her stick, and they collapse to the ground, snoring heavily.

She storms through the doors, and into the final corridor, her sub-ordinates following behind her, slightly afraid of the large woman...

[Netdroid9]

((The only names I know off the top of my head are girls names lol.))

Net: I'd hardly call this mischief. Why, I remember that time we were sent into the mortal realm... Are you listening?
Son: I'm not really interested in that sort of thing.
Net: It had a topless chearleader.
Son: ...Now I'm interested.
Net: Tell you what, you help me find my weapons in this mess and I'll let on the secrets of good times past. Just don't tell your mother .

[Swix]

((... Yeah, 'quite' amusing and H I G H L Y Disturbing... but alright...))

*Fade stops coughing, getting her bearings back she looks over to the unmarked blue car again. A name comes up in her mind: Phase? Phase, why was he here? She remembered, and a flicker of recognition passed over her face. But for now she wanted her Dagger back and so turned and made her way inside the building where all the weapons were on display*

*She passes a lot of them, giving them barely a second glance before coming to hers. A dagger made completely out of a blue gem. Even the handle and guard were made out of it, not just the blade. The card in front of it read that the previous owner was Fade. At least they hadn' put her real name up for display*

*Fade gingerly opens the top of the casing and takes her Sapphire Dagger out, runing her fingers along the absolute coldness of the blade. It was hers. And she was never going to part with it again*
_____________________________________________________________
*Kalat frowns slightly at Nobu*

Kalat: They're not ready yet. Someone made an error and they're refusing to eat meat, claiming they're 'new age' foxes.

[Shine]

Whiteoak had just made it to the door way as the Matron and her minions reached the other end of the last long hallway. As he went out of the building he felt a significant part of his powers and abilities return. His head cleared and the memory problems seemed to clear up. He looked around and saw the other residents raiding the out building (with the weapons in it) He figured that if thats where they went, there must be a good reason, so he would go there too. He powered up his modified wheel chair, and it lifted off the ground and flew, hovercraft style, over to the building. His prostetic legs could let him stand and walk short distances, so he could enter the building, where he saw folks retreiving their weapons. There in a case for the tall weapons was his staff. He took it and twirled it a couple of times and finished with a blocking strike motion. It felt good in his hands. He took its harness, but it would be difficult to carry it across his back in a chair. He had built clips on his chair to hold it upright behind him and he put it there when he returned to
it.

Addressing the others still in the room
"So, what now, we could just escape, but wouldn't a little payback be fun?
Personally I wouldn't mind inflicting a little pain on the Physical Therapy guy, and there are still others inside who need our help to get out, or at least if we remove the Matron from business, someone else may come in to run the place who would actually help the older folks who do have to be there."

[Netdroid9]

[addman]

((I remember that! Shame we never finished that RP))

Someone pass me my weapon, I don't want to have to get up again now I'm sat down, I've just got comfortable!

((Addman's still pretty old and feeble compared to how he was before. He'll probably drop to sleep at random times too))
