"Right! Well... Two rights. Thanks a lot! I've still got some time to kill before I can get to work and the others don't really seem to be in a talkative mood, so if you feel like chatting a bit, I'll be in the lab."

Silk quickly followed the directions towards the bathroom and since she was there anyway, used it too. On her way back to the lab, she passed by the kitchen again to grab some more bottles of water, a roll of shrink wrap and a couple of kitchen towels.

She put the stuff below a chair and sat down on it while composing a message to Creepy Joe. "Getting ready for a chat with our tired friend, any specific questions you need him to answer? Pretty quiet here, anything happening at your place?"
Leaning back in the chair, Silk focused on the Seattle Celebrity Watchers Chatroom while leaving several news feeds running in smaller windows. Still nothing on the news about the events in the club... had the policlubber managed to make this go unnoticed? She seriously hoped not, being able to hide something this big would mean he had some pretty long and well connected strings to pull.

Joe watched the ghouls scramble over each other, all of them wounded and all of them struggling to take each others lives.  They were driven thoughtlessly by need, with no concept of consequence or danger.  Poor idiot things couldn't find their way out of that hell.  They were blind to the great release waiting inside them, so they tried to pull it out of others.  They needed her help.  She would guide them to that first, greatest promise - the sole promise of a loving god - the oblivion of death.  Relief was coming.

Last pass same as the first.  She's going to pelt them with rocks for stun damage.

The ghoul's bodies laid there, pale shells now. Whatever was left of their souls would soon move on if they continued to bleed at this rate. The night grew quieter.

Silk's AR was the opposite.

"I'll leave the interview up to you. Clinics safe, hasn't aired yet but caught this on the 'trix nearby during monitoring."

SLAUGHTER AT EQUILIBRIUM
A tall Asian woman in a smart Neo-Japanese business dress, "I stand now in front of the successful equilibrium nightclub, where a most horrific scene has occurred tonight! The intrepid Knight Errant has cordoned the area to investigate but I managed to catch some of the survivors for short interviews. Their harrowing tale talks of armed men invading after opening time and forcing them too remain trapped in the club's freezers. Only half the staff, all the humans and a few elves were left alive though, one survivor watched the remainder be brutally gunned down. Why only the Trolls and Orcs were targeted is unknown at this time.
Ah! here comes an officer now, Mr. Athack, Sir!? Lt. Athack? Any word on the culprits?"


The one of the biggest trolls you've ever seen, stuffed into a KE uniform, turns. His face filled with rage as he turns, "No Comment!" He reached out a huge hand at the camera, followed by static.

This time Chrona span round to avoid the blow, he flattened his hand, ignoring his gloves. He shot the hand forward like a spike.

Hank raised his gloves deflecting the blow to the side, trying to focus on keeping his head behind protection.

Chrona really thought that one would hit, he followed up with his left, then because of Hank's defensive stance, followed it with his right.

Been forgetting the -1 wound penalty, but also his speialty on the last attack, oh well

Noise flicked a third butt away from herself as she leaned against her car.  She hated the waiting games. There was just too much.... waiting.  Closing her eyes she let herself relax further against the small car and thumbed the play switch on her link, letting music fill the void that time was leaving.

Rippin' my heart was so easy,
so easy, launch your assault now,
take it easy, Raise your weapon,
Raise your weapon,
One word and it's over,

Rippin' through like a missile,
rippin' through my heart,
Rob me of this love,
Raise your gun,
raise your gun and it's over.


She opened her eyes, without actually looking through them as the beat of the song picked up. What she saw was a memory of the past. A time she didn't particularly like to visit. 

Lights flash and the music pounds in her ears the sounds of Trillo had captured the dance floor and she was caught up in it like the rest. 
Now she's at the bar draped over some guy just to get some free drinks, she won't be going home with him tonight and men are such an easy mark to get things you want.
She dances with him near the VIP section, sending glances to the man sitting behind the thinly veiled curtain. That's what she's after.


Love your ego,
you won't feel a thing,
always number one,
the pen with a bent wrist crooked king,
sign away our peace,
for your war, one word and it's over.

Dropping your bombs now,
on all we've built,
how does it feel now to watch it burn, burn, burn?
Raise your weapons, raise your weapons... And its over.


Behind the curtain herself now. It wasn't her idea to be here, it never was her idea to do anything.
She sat in his lap occasionally whispering in his ear, tolerating his roaming hands.
He looked about 50, real old for an Ork, must have been one that changed. Or he was just that fucking ugly. Didn't matter.
She nibbled on his ear and was rewarded with a slap on her rear. And then the club was gone.


Rippin' my heart was so easy,
so easy, launch your assault now,
take it easy. Raise your weapon,
raise your weapon, one word and it's over.

Rippin' through like a missile,
rippin' through my heart,
rob me of this love.
Raise your weapon, raise your weapon...
And it's over. How does it feel now to watch it burn, burn, burn?


A high class hotel suite, president's suite most likely.
Open bottles of champagne litter the room, and they're alone, he's seen fit to want privacy for what he thinks is coming.
She walks over to the kitchen and grabs a tray of fruits and cheeses, her clothes falling to the floor almost as if magic as she walks back to him.


Rippin' my heart was so easy,
so easy, launch your assault now,
take it easy. Raise your weapon,
raise your weapon, one word and it's over.

Rippin' through like a missile,
rippin' through my heart,
rob me of this love.
Raise your weapon, raise your weapon... And it's over.


Super slow motion/Lightning fast, the tray falls to the floor/the knife comes up in her hand and the distance between them disappear.
The knife blurs as it travels/grapes squish between her toes.
One quick stroke to finish it/He's not there.
Confusion as her momentum takes her to the ground/Pain as the room seems to go bright white, then dark black.


Ease up your ego,
you won't feel a thing,
always number one,
the pen with a bent wrist crooked king,
sign away our peace, for your war,
one word and it's over.

Dropping your bombs now,
on all we've built,
how does it feel now to watch it burn, burn, burn?
Raise your weapon, raise your weapons... And its over.


Noise flicks another butt away as the cherry is just about to burn her fingers, she doesn't even remember lighting another it.  She blinks hard to wipe away the memory and takes a moment to bring herself back to reality.  She steps away from the car, stomping on the discarded cigarette. Back down towards the trap door and the secret underground lair of super ghoul... It was time to get some answers out of this merc.

Hank took a second to catch his breath, using his superior intellect to quickly analyse the situation. "Don't stay here Hank, he's gonna kill you. Move out, Duck for Godsake !" He could hear Hal yell at him from his corner as if he was there. He saw the first left coming and raised his right arm to block Chrona's blow.

Reaction 5 + Unarmed 5 + Boxing 2 + Improved Skill 2 - 1 Dodge (14d6.hits(5)=6)Crap forgot about the -1 dodge so that would mean hit (last die was a 6), let's spend a Edge on that :D
Edge Reroll (8d6.hits(5)=3)

He knew the Right was coming, that would be the smart thing to do, so he rushed in the defenses, a little too late unfortunately.

Reaction 5 + Unarmed 5 + Boxing 2 + Improved Skill 2 - 2 Dodge (12d6.hits(5)=2)
I assume here that Hank removed his armor before getting in the ring, otherwise he'd have some more protection
Body 5 soaking DV8 (5d6.hits(5)=1) Hank take 7S and his knocked prone

The Right connected right to Hank's jaw leaving him stunned for a bit, his knee down to the ground. Shaking his head, he mumbles I'm Ok before trying to get back on his feet.
Quote
Body 5 + Willpower 4 -2 Wounds (7d6.hits(5)=2) Hank is able to stand up

EDIT : Damn thought that Standing up was a Free Action. Hank is out left with a Simple Action so he'll try to activate Increase Agility again then.
Quote
Magic 6 + Improved Attribute 2 -2 Wounds (6d6.hits(5)=1) Hank is now at AGI 5

As he got up, he threw himself right at Chrona, fighting with desperation. It was not often that Hank was in the position and of all contingency plans he could have, being beaten by a giant Ghoul was not an expected outcome. Looks like I'll have to improvise

With the ghouls gone quiet, the whole world seemed to follow suit.  Inside Joe, the Girl in the Room went quiet too.  That was the relief she'd needed.  Joe walked toward the piled up ghoul bodies as they bled out into the dirt.  She crouched a bit closer so that she could be as near to them as possible when they died.  Their relief was her relief.  She delivered the remedy to end all pain, once, twice and a third time.  She was very reluctant to leave her knives in the fast ghoul's lungs, but she would not risk infection.

The ghouls would be gone by morning, one way or another, nothing lasts long in the barrens.

Chrona used the time it took Hank to right himself to ready his left again, he made a sweeping blow.

Hank was shaken but he could see Chrona punch going. He duck right under it and went for the kidney.

As usual :D (12d6.hits(5)=5)

This gotta be the first time, I get to fight a round 2 !

Hanks punch was a bit wide, too much anticipation he guessed. Didn't matter, the important was to force him to make a mistake.

Dodging that one easily, Chrona got to keep the pressure on.

This was a solid blow heading up along parallel Hank's extended arm.

Joe was having trouble walking back as the sweeping glow of happiness washed over her.  She wanted to lay down somewhere and just let the waves of satisfaction take her away to a place without pain.  As soon as she had stumbled back to Chrona's warehouse, that's exactly what she did.  After a few minutes draped across the top of an oil drum, she felt fully refreshed.  Her tension was gone and she was ready to continue on with the business at hand.

After parking Habu in a more secure location Andromeda ended her AR trip. Some time had passed but the two Brawlers where still at it and going wild from the looks, some others had gone somewhere, About silk she was not sure, but LJ was resting on a barrel upstairs, as far as the sedans could tell.

She decided to join him there, as they still had some issue's to discuss.

The way back was event less  and Andromeda only hoped that it would not be easy to startle the sleeping Killer. She approached him, being ready to just out of the way of everything that might come her way.

"You sleeping LJ? We still need to talk about the Guns you took from the club and the way you plan to utilize them. what's the plan anyway?"
Prepare for the worst, hope for the best and expect nothing!
