@pyrogram: Xia gave a sad smile in response. "I was made a villain. People change us. But maybe we can help each other." The teen exhaled in relief at his final response. He was going to do it. He was going to help her beat Cobra and Sangria. Her black eyes followed him as he leapt from the roof. She still harboured doubts. She wasn't sure if Sangria had poisoned him like she had other people. What if his "fix" was to eliminate her? He could go on living his fantasy. Xia stooped down to pick the arrow from the ground. Well, she was tougher than that. Trained by Cobra and containing her own specialized genetics... her slender fingers opened the arrow to retrieve the address. Besides, she wasn't going to wait a whole day to scope out the location. She wasn't just a killer. She couldn't leave these things to chance. The younger Queen tucked the address into her belt and scaled down the building.
CVnU: New York City
@pyrogram: Hehe. Good.
@the_psyentist: Sad I'm gonna kill her...
@pyrogram: You'll TRY.
@the_psyentist: Why do you think I'm seeing Cobra, hmmm? :P
@pyrogram: Because you wanted some fashion advice?
Now I wanna do something with Rose.
*raises hand*
@the_psyentist: :D
@gloomyizzy: Oh right, we haven't done a Sarah/Rose thing in a while have we?
@_ophelia_: *shakes head*
@pyrogram: Darling, you've got the basics. You just need that extra panache.
@the_psyentist: Cobra groping me with clothe size fittings does not = panache xP
@gloomyizzy: Oh, did you have something else in mind? :o
@_ophelia_: I didn'tz, I'm up for whatever you want really, with whoever you wanna use.
@pyrogram: Groping her partner's boyfriend isn't really her style.
@the_psyentist: She terrifies him still :P Xia though... So cute for a Cobra.
@zeke_: Gothic's so bloated, go somewhere cool like Chicago or New Orleans. :3
@gloomyizzy: Kaaay ^_^
Soooo, what should we do with Rose and Sarah?
@pyrogram: Well, good thing she's a lizard then. :P
@the_psyentist: O_o I forgot 'bout that xD
@gloomyizzy: Chicago? Nah. Orleans? Might consider it.
Need somewhere with a darker atmosphere. Hmm...
*scratches head
Time to think.
*lights up cigarette
- Rose sees for the first time that Sarah can't be controlled as easily as she thinks.
- Rose tries to get Sarah to do X thing, only to find that depressive-Sarah just can't get it up to commit crimes.
what I can come up with right now
thoughtz?
@gloomyizzy: We could probably do both.
Same thread as their last interaction? :)
@_ophelia_: Sure. <3<3<3 I'll account-hop.
@strigidae_23: Yeah! My favorite inter-personal storyline with another character thus far!
@pyrogram: Its been really interesting. Plus the whole bacteria thing is really fresh. Criminal bacteria. How do you arrest or fight them? Do you punish the people involved once they are free from the bacteria?
@strigidae_23: Legally I'd say they are acting under.......I'd say duress, but they are not even cognitive.
There is a law for murder called diminished responsibility, say Sangria killed someone, Janus may get off murder because she was not able to say no in any capacity. But then in real life Janus would go to a mental health prision for the rest of her life.
@pyrogram: @strigidae_23: Hehehe. >:)
@pyrogram: But can she be 5150 if she is no longer under the influence of the agent? [No, BTW lol.]
What makes it doubly interesting is there are theories that several of the largest mass extinctions in history have been due to microbial life and that macro and micro life do not, in fact, have a symbiotic relationship over evolutionary time but instead are constantly at war for the planets limited resources.
@strigidae_23: Not sure, I don't know US criminal law. The lawyers would have to prove something, which I'm not sure what. That she was acting of none of her own accord, had no volition at all in any capacity, and now, was totally free. I mean... She didn't commit a crime did she? OH! I know, I know. In the UK you need an intention -- Mens Rea, it's called. Not sure about the US, but if the prosecution cannot find a Mens Rea you aren't guilty of most things. If she was unable to even think, she can't have any intentions be them good or bad.
Interesting! Never heard of that myself, but that's kinda cool.
I like Madame Sangria.
MISTRESS!
@pyrogram: I just said no lol.
Yeah it is. Very interesting, in fact.
@strigidae_23: Depends on the bacteria. Humans make excellent farms. :P But they don't really have sentience to not destroy their host if they get too plentiful.
Wrapping his arms around the woman, he hugged her, closing his eyes and holding back a fountain of tears. "I-I'm... I'm so sorry Jan, I'm sorry I didn't help you sooner," with a little sigh, he held her tight, hovering them both into the air. "Don't be scared, I'm here for you, just hold on tight, and I'll make it better." And with a little whoosh, Kurt conjured up a forcefield for the two as they were sped across America, faster and faster, until they stopped off in New York, setting upon a skyscraper again, he gently set her down, giving her a gentle hug. "I need to take you back to my safe-house. I don't know if it's safe for you at home, not yet. Not until I have told you what Sangria done." He gulped. "Just remember you're not alone Jan, whatever happens... I'll be here for you."
@pyrogram: "W-what?" She whimpered. "I can't even go home? Is... do you mean Sangria could have infected more people?" Janus was so tired. After the fight, the constant state of fear... she was exhausted. She had so many questions, but part of her didn't even want answers. She wanted to never know. She wanted to pretend none of this happened.
"Sangria... Was a drug lord, killed people, tortured them, manipulated me..." He shook his head, "people might try and come after you. Find you, kill you, your life could be in danger Jan. I can't let you go home unless I know you're safe." He sat down on the roof ledge, looking down. "Sangria infected many people. I have a safehouse in New York, I can set you up to live there and give you a new life if you wish, I know you're not the Janus who I fell in love with... But I can't leave you alone, not like this, do you understand?" He looked up, almost in an as bad state as her.
@pyrogram: Janus' eyes widened as she heard the truth. This was too much. She turned her head away and threw up. "I don't know... I don't care. Just get me out of here, Mr. Pendragon."
@mistress_sangria: (Off panel Satomi helps her :P)
"Call me Kurt," he turned, took out his phone and dialed, and then after two minutes, he turned back. "There's a woman named Satomi. She lives in New York, she'll look after you." With a little nod, Kurt backed off. "She'll be here in 10 minutes, stay put and stay safe. Jan... I... Just, have a good life Janus, I'll miss you." And with a broken heart, Kurt leaped off of the side of the building and flew away, knowing Satomi, being a woman for starters, would be much more helpful.
@pyrogram: (Awwww! :D)
Jan nodded, wrapping his coat tighter around her body before wiping the tears from her eyes. "Okay. Th-thank you, Kurt." She wasn't sure she should thank him. But it was all she could think.
@pyrogram: You did what you had to, Pyro.
*Salute*
