You see a rather lovely half-elf woman who looks like she could be in her early twenties.  She has long blonde hair currently loose and wavy around her shoulders.  Her outfit consists of a simple loose red cotton off the shoulder top and a pair of khaki capris.  On her feet are a pair of white wedged strappy sandals.  Around her neck is a silver chain with a silver pendant hanging from it.  The pendant itself has a sparkling blue gem in it. Three pairs of silver stud earrings, one star shaped, one just ball shaped, and one dagger shaped, line her pointed ears. Resting on her head is a silver circlet. Wrapping around her left arm is an ornate tattoo of a wreath of leaves that seems to shimmer on its own.Slung across her body is a red canvas bag, and embroidered on the flap is a purple wizard's hat and a set of faerie wings with a heart outline surrounding them. She catches your eye, smiles and winks, and goes back to what she was doing.&lt;br /&gt;

Title    = Making Rock Deals&lt;br /&gt;
|Summary = Priss stops by the Usual to find out how to get stage time for her band.&lt;br /&gt;
|Who     = [[Priss]], [[Ari]], [[Skeeve]], [[Lee]], [[Gonfei]], [[Miriam]], [[Batman]]&lt;br /&gt;
|Date    = June 3rd, 2016&lt;br /&gt;
|Where   = The Usual Restaurant&lt;br /&gt;
|Log=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
INT. - THE USUAL RESTAURANT - NIGHT&lt;br /&gt;
------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
You walk into a well lighted room, it's high ceilings lit by dozens of fluorescent lamps hanging from the ceiling. To the south and west are windows, which you would normally expect to see the outside world from, but looking out of them, you see only a misty gray haze. On the walls to the north and the east of the inn are an eclectic collection of paintings, photographs and even holographs of many cheap 1970's to 1980's B-movies. The bar on the east side is made out of hardwood, it's surface polished and shiny. Behind the bar, the various beverages that are served here are kept in relatively neat containers on wooden shelves. There is a large stage in one of the corners of the restaurant with a impressive sound system and a few microphones strung about it. Multiple round wood tables are in this room, near the north wall, is a double swing door that leads to the kitchen. On the east wall is a door leading to the UR's dance club and on the west one leading to the Gym. To the south, is the exit to the outside. A recent addition to the UR is a large fireplace against the west wall, it matches well to the rest of the restaurant and looks like it should have been there all along.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Exits   : UR's Workout (G)ym, UR's (D)ance Club, Private Booth(2), Private Booth(1), [K]itchen, and (O)ut ]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Players : Lee, Ari, and Gonfei ]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Things  : The Usual Pinball Machine, and The Banned List ]&lt;br /&gt;
---------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
Priss comes in, stuffing her hands in her pockets after she gets through the door.  What was it about this stupid place that made her always want to stop in on the way by?  She heads toward the bar, putting as much room as she can between the other bar patrons and herself, waiting for the bartender to head over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Hey, can ya brew tea in liquor?&amp;quot; Lee suggests playfully, nudging Ari in the side. Lee glances over toward Priss breifly as she appears, but doesn't say anything after she sits at the opposite end of the bar.&lt;br /&gt;
Ari sticks her tongue out at Lee for a moment before turning to Gonfei. &amp;quot;Creative, and with high proof. Six of them. I would like to get a /little/ buzzed.&amp;quot; she smirks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gonfei raises an eyebrow, and starts looking through the liquers to make his selections.   The first drink comes up.  &amp;quot;Pluque.  Have fun with that one.&amp;quot;  Then another.  &amp;quot;Venusian Beet Liquer.  Sounded interesting.&amp;quot;  And a bit of rooting find the third, which he pours and it sets itself on fire.  &amp;quot;Sulfuron Slammer.&amp;quot;  He then pours the fourth into a metal cup.  &amp;quot;Chech'tluth.&amp;quot;  A bit more searching finds the fifth, &amp;quot;Moloko Plus.&amp;quot;   Finally comes the last drink:  &amp;quot;Kentuky White Lightning.&amp;quot;  The six drinks now arrayed before Ari, he nods and says, &amp;quot;Enjoy,&amp;quot; before walking down to the other end of the bar.  &amp;quot;So, what can I do for you today, Miss?&amp;quot; he asks of Priss.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss pulled out her pack of smokes and laid them on the counter.  &amp;quot;Give me a Hitachino White Ale if you got it and information.&amp;quot;  She stabbed a thumb at the empty stage.  &amp;quot;Who do I have kill to get some gigs for my band up on that stage?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ari takes the first shot and downs it, grinning. &amp;quot;Not bad, not bad..&amp;quot; she kind of perks up at Priss' question. &amp;quot;Oooh, another musician!&amp;quot; She nods to Priss.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Six?&amp;quot; Lee exclaims, looking to Ari in surprise. &amp;quot;You got a robo-liver, too? I'll /maybe/ have a couple beers...&amp;quot; Lee peers suspiciously at the drinks. &amp;quot;Okay... beets are a pretty color.&amp;quot; Lee waves a hand over the chech'tluth. &amp;quot;And the smoking's a nice special effect.&amp;quot; Lee eyes the pulque. &amp;quot;Uhh... not gonna say what that looks like.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gonfei grins at Priss.  &amp;quot;Ma'am, we've got everything.  It just can take time to find the rarer stuff.&amp;quot;  At the second question, he glances over at the stage.  &amp;quot;Well, I don't think you need to kill anyone, actually.  I can send word up to my bosses that you're interested, but that's...  not something that came up in job orientation.  Not a whole lot of people ask to use it, to be honest.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss grinned.  &amp;quot;Well that's because I wasn't in town.   Few should be allowed to use it because some can make paint peel off the wall.&amp;quot; High and mighty ain't she!?  &amp;quot;Well do you have contact info for said boss?  Really looking to get to playing some.  Gotta start somewhere right?   Stage in a little bar and probably the NT Arena next month.&amp;quot; She grinned again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gonfei raises an eyebrow.  &amp;quot;Tell you what...  lemme go about this the other way around...&amp;quot;  He slides a pen and napkin to Priss.  &amp;quot;I'll pass on the message with your contact information to 'em.&amp;quot;  He then turns to retreive the Hitachino White Ale!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ari downs the next shot (in order recieved), which would be the beet liquor.  She nods appreciatively. &amp;quot;I can get behind that one.&amp;quot; she looks to Priss. &amp;quot;I'm remodeling my night club, and it has a stage. I can play, but I usually just DJ.  If you're interested when it's open, anyway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss looked the pretty half-elf over as she butts in on the convo.  Normally she'd be a little annoyed by Ari has two things going for her; 1) She's cute and reminds her of a friend, 2) Another possible gig.   She writes her contact info on the classy napkin.  &amp;quot;Oh yeah?  What's the name of the place?&amp;quot; She says to Ari.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lee listens in intently at the talk of musical performance, looking from Priss to Ari as Ari makes the offer. For the moment, Lee keeps quiet and watches the sulfuron burn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ari downs the next shot, shivering. &amp;quot;Woo!&amp;quot; she grins. &amp;quot;It's called the Haven.  It's right on the beach, so it's in a great location.  Plus I pay for gigs.&amp;quot;  She looks back to Lee. &amp;quot;It takes more than a few shots to get me buzzed, hon.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss slides the info to the barkeep and puts trust in that he'll deliver the note.   &amp;quot;Beach front property?  Nice.  Yeah.  Sign me up.  We can talk about it when you are done drowning yourself in booze.&amp;quot; She smirked then pulled out a cancer stick and lit it up, saluting the barkeep as her drink was delivered and opened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gonfei offers a quick salute back in return, then heads back to the center of the bar to look over the place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lee nods at Ari's assurance about the alcohol. &amp;quot;Would be nice t' get someone who's playing at the arena into your club for the opening.&amp;quot; Lee then adds curiously, &amp;quot;You still wanna call the place 'Summon the Kraken' when ya reopen it?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ari shrugs. &amp;quot;I don't know yet. I may.&amp;quot; she downs the fourth, fifth, and sixth shots in rapid succession. &amp;quot;That.. was in an interesting combo.&amp;quot; she chuckles. &amp;quot;The name will evolve with the place, I think. Which reminds me, I'm tooling the holographic displays into an interactive building planning grid, so we can design the place in 3D glory on the fly.&amp;quot;  Her speech starts slurring very slightly towards the end of that sentence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss just goes back to her own little world, smoking, drinking and checking her cell phone messages as she soaks up the ambience of the bar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Skeeve appears in a puff of purple smoke with a soft *bamf*&lt;br /&gt;
Skeeve has arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
Miriam has arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
Skeeve enters, with Miriam walking along next to him. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lee raises a brow at Ari's combination of milk, smoke-emitting drink, and a more conventional-looking liquor. &amp;quot;Sure hope the bartender knows what he's doing there, Ari...&amp;quot; Lee remarks, waving to the empty shot glasses. &amp;quot;Or ya have a cyber-stomach.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ari giggles a little. Oh boy. &amp;quot;I do not, in fact, have a cyber stomach. But that would be awesome!&amp;quot; she definitely has just downed six shots of various origins.  She stands up and is a little unsteady on her feet. &amp;quot;But.. 'sworth it!&amp;quot; she grins as the effects start hitting her.  All of them. She kind of looks up at the non descript ceiling at something that isn't really there. &amp;quot;Ooooh... pretty!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Skeeve chooses this opportunity to appear in a burst of purple smoke, as though he just walked through the door next to Miriam.  &amp;quot;...wanted fourteen for it.  *Fourteen*.  Anyway, when the smoke cleared we all just kind of left.  No reason to stick around after that.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Miriam shakes her head, &amp;quot;Those guys get crazier every year. &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gonfei raises an eyebrow.  &amp;quot;You said it takes a lot to get you buzzed.  Did you lie to me?&amp;quot;  He speaks to Ari in a tone suggestive of an adult talking to a child as he crosses his arms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss ignores the antics for now at the other end of the bar, taking a drag from her cigarette as she thumbs through her phone text messages.  She exchanges the cigarette for her beer bottle and takes a drink before swapping out again for the cancer stick.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lee braces their tail against the bottom of the barstool and leans the long neck back to get a better view of exactly what Ari is looking at. Lee frowns a little when there is nothing there. Then Skeeve and Miri appear, and Lee gives them a finger-wave and a smile while looking at them upside-down. Lee then straightens and looks back up to Ari. &amp;quot;What'cha seeing there, Ari?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Give the elf a break, one of the drinks was Moloko Plus. This is not exactly just booze&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Give the elf a break, one of the drinks was Moloko Plus. This is not exactly just booze.  She keeps looking at the ceiling, eyes going back and forth. &amp;quot;The dragons are having a tennis match! They're adorable!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Skeeve returns Lee's casual little wave, starting to head over in the direction of the bar.  &amp;quot;Yeah, pretty much.  Just completely have lost it at this point.&amp;quot;  As he sidles up to the bar, he says lightly, &amp;quot;Evening, Lee... hi hot stuff.  Uh...&amp;quot;  He can't help but tilt his head up a little, following Ari's gaze.  &amp;quot;Are... are you okay?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Miriam blinks. Several times, even. She looks around, hanging onto Skeeve while getting her bearings, then looks at Ari, the ceiling, Ari, the ceiling, and Skeeve. After a moment, she gives a half wave to Lee, completely confused. She stammers out a &amp;quot;Yeah... um... lost it. For sure.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Oookay...&amp;quot; Lee says to Ari with a grin, still seated and finishing off the citrus tea that the two of them started with. Lee turns around in the seat to lean their back on the bar and look up at Skeeve and Miriam. &amp;quot;Ari asked for six shots of 'something creative'. Looks like ya get all the colors of the rainbow when ya mix 'em together.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ari watches the dragon tennis match that only she can see. &amp;quot;Aw, the blue one won! But the red one doesn't look too happy...&amp;quot; her eyes grow wide, and she eeps! and dives under a table. &amp;quot;Don't singe my hair! I'm having a good hair day!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss looks over as the half-elf dives under the bar and raises a WTF eyebrow and watches the antics unfold as she nurses that beer and cigarette.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Skeeve kneels down next to the table, reaches out a hand to put it on Ari's shoulder.  &amp;quot;Hey, maybe you should come out from under there, huh?  You'll get dirt in your hair, and then where will you be?  Let us worry about the dragons.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Miriam nods at Skeeve. She makes a gesture, &amp;quot;There. Protective bubble. No scorching Ari.&amp;quot; She blinks at Lee, &amp;quot;Six?&amp;quot; she eyes Ari again, &amp;quot;Yowch.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lee digs into a vest pouch for the money to pay for the tea. (It's all in change and small bills.) Lee then looks in Ari's direction and goes ahead to pay for her drinks too before hopping to the ground. Lee wanders over to join the three.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ari wrinkles her nose at Skeeve and Miri, then cautiously peeks out from the table, and says in a loud whisper. &amp;quot;But it's /mad/ at me! And you said the red ones were bad!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Skeeve shakes his head a little bit at that, suppressing a smile.  &amp;quot;Only when they're bigger than a pony.  Promise.&amp;quot;  He tugs gently, but insistently, on Ari's shoulder, trying to pull her out from under the table.  Looking up and over at Lee, he asks, &amp;quot;What did they give her, anyway?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Miriam nods encouragingly, &amp;quot;He's right.  Plus, bubble! Singe-proof!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lee peers between Miriam and Skeeve to offer Ari an encouraging smile. &amp;quot;Oh, dunno if I remember,&amp;quot; Lee answers Skeeve. &amp;quot;Lessee... Something White Lightning, something that looked like milk, something smoking, something flaming- a Sulfur Slammer, beet liquor, and something that looked like, uh... white and goopy.&amp;quot; Lee adds, &amp;quot;Oh, and citrus tea. I had that.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ari crawls out from under the table slowly. &amp;quot;Okay, but if that thing charges me...&amp;quot; she does the two fingers back and forth 'I'm watching you' gesture to the non-existant dragon as she stands up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Skeeve shakes his head a little at the list of various liquors that Lee runs down.  &amp;quot;Nothing like a variety, I guess...&amp;quot;  He helps Ari back up into a seat at the bar.  &amp;quot;C'mon, take a seat before you fall over, okay?  Let's get some water into you....&amp;quot;  He snags up a pitcher of water, pours a glass for her.  &amp;quot;Miri, you want anything?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Miriam nods a little, again, looking to Lee, &amp;quot;None of that sounds like good...&amp;quot; She smiles cheerily at Ari, &amp;quot;It'll have to get through us first!&amp;quot; After a moment, she nods, &amp;quot;Just an apple juice, I think.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I've sure never seen anyone do /that/ kinda variety,&amp;quot; Lee agrees with Skeeve, then grins and motions toward Ari at Miriam's remark. &amp;quot;Hey, sounds to me like she enjoyed it.&amp;quot; Lee hops back into a seat at the bar, opting for sitting next to Skeeve rather than Miriam in apparent defense of their cell phone. &amp;quot;So how're you two doing?&amp;quot; Lee asks brightly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ari takes the glass and tips her head back to chug it. She's not exactly being graceful with it, and in fact a bunch splashes out of the glass.  She empties it, and says in her best Thor impression: &amp;quot;This drink, I like it!&amp;quot; she throws the glass to the ground. &amp;quot;Another!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Skeeve has to bite down on his lip, rather hard, to keep from busting out laughing at that.  &amp;quot;Well, evidently not as good as Ari is.... but I'm doing alright.&amp;quot;  He reaches behind the bar, snags another cup for Ari - a plastic one, this time - and pours her some more water, then calls over to a waitress, &amp;quot;Can I get some apple juice and a milkshake, please?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Miriam shakes her head a little, &amp;quot;That's... not that it's not enjoyable, or possibly tasty. But to hit that hard that fast, it's not any kind of good.&amp;quot; She blinks at Ari, &amp;quot;Um... isn't it customary to have your glass refilled? Or have I been doing it wrong?&amp;quot; She nods a little to Lee, noting their seating choice and seemingly approving wholeheartedly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss had enough fun.  She did what she set out to do here.  She looked at her watch, finished off the last of her beer the walked away from the bar, stopping at the place Ari was.  She jammed her hands in her pocket and pulled out a card and presented it to the lesser of the trashed folk.  &amp;quot;My card for the lady there.  Have her call me some time when she's not seeing dragons.&amp;quot; She doesn't care who takes it as long as someone takes it.  She nods to Lee, acknowledging the strange feather alien she met yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lee winces at the crash. &amp;quot;Might wanna avoid doing that unless someone gives ya special smashing glasses,&amp;quot; Lee supplies, leaning back to speak to Miriam. &amp;quot;Glad you're good, Skeeve. Doing pretty well here, was just chatting with Ari 'bout all kinds 'f stuff. But I'm wondering if talking 'bout Ari's... uh... 'high-genetic-similarity people' might've been why she decided on doing some shots.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lee grins up at Priss with her farewell remark. &amp;quot;Catch ya later! I do a mean hang-drum, by the way.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ari chugs that water too... then proceeds to chew on the plastic cup. Not biting through it, just chewing.&lt;br /&gt;
Skeeve lets out a little sigh as Ari starts chewing on the props, but reaches out to take Priss' card.  &amp;quot;I'll make sure she gets the message.&amp;quot;  He offers a polite salute, with the card.  &amp;quot;Have a nice evening, miss.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Miriam grins and nods, &amp;quot;What he said.&amp;quot; She blinks then takes a few moments to consider what Lee has said, and re-parse their words. She nods a little, &amp;quot;I think... that probably makes sense.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss stuffs her hands back in her jacket and strolls out the door to her bike.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CUT TO:  EXT. CENTER OF NEOTOKYO - NIGHT&lt;br /&gt;
------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here you are in the epicenter of the insanity lovingly known as NeoTokyo and right in what seems to be the center lies the mysterious wonder known as Tokyo Tower, now seeming to have found it's way as an epicenter in this altered world. From here you can go in many directions to various streets and homes and wherever you may want to go. The area oddly enough seems to give off an odd aura from every direction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Exits   : &amp;lt;Up&amp;gt; into Sky (Locked), (A)rena, (C)entral Train Station, The (U)sual Restaurant, (To)kyo Tower, (S)outh, (W)est, (N)orth, (E)ast, and (B)us to the Narita Airport ]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Players : Batman ]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Things  : Spirit Gate of the Soul ]&lt;br /&gt;
--------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
Priss walks out of the restaurant, lighting up another cigarette.  &amp;quot;Weird ass people...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batman is up above, surveying the street below, noting Priss as she walks out of the usual. Yes, more weird ass people. &amp;quot;Hmm...&amp;quot; He swings down on his line, seeming to be studtying the street near the alleyway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss sits on her bike, going through her phone again while finishing up the cancer stick.  &amp;quot;Maybe we can finally start getting shit done in this lame city....&amp;quot;  She texts someone something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batman turns after examining the area, then moves over towards Priss. &amp;quot;Nice bike,&amp;quot; he offers, regarding her and her ride.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss says, &amp;quot;Thanks.&amp;quot;  She doesn't look up at first but she didn't like the tone of that voice.  It sounded like someone swallowing granite so she looks up quickly and stares upon.. THE BATMAN.  &amp;quot;Holy shit!  You're that bat weirdo they talk about in the papers!   Nice costume.&amp;quot;  She took a long drag and looked the muscle suited Dark Knight over.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batman regards Priss for a moment. Bat weirdo. Guess he's heard worse. &amp;quot;Thanks,&amp;quot; he says in reply, &amp;quot;It gets the job done.&amp;quot; He ponders a moment. &amp;quot;I'm looking into a string of...attempted kidnappings, Miss,&amp;quot; he adds, &amp;quot;The kidnappers seem to be targeting...innocents...new;y arrived. Apparently, they're being..collected. You may want to keep a look out as well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss nodnods and takes a long drag looking unconcerned.  &amp;quot;I see the police are ever effective as usual in keeping the streets of NT safe for damsels like myself.   Kidnapping huh?  Assholes better be wearing body armor if they try to kidnap me.&amp;quot;  She pats her jacket.  Maybe she's packing heat?   &amp;quot;So how many have they kidnapped so far and any leads?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batman says, &amp;quot;They seem to be starting with soft targets, so far, there have been a few attempts but no known abductions. But that's not confirmed. Might be a while before they work up to a tough target like you...though...I'm sure your cycle would be high on the list. Apparently, this, 'Collector' is collecting 'living collectibles' but I'm certain he or she wouldn't turn up thier nose at high-end machinery.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss says, &amp;quot;TCh!  Anyone touches this bike I'm going to jail for brutality!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss grinned then took another drag and then nodded at Bats.  &amp;quot;So... why the outfit?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batman says, &amp;quot;Long story,&amp;quot; is there the slightest smile on his face? hard to tell, could be shadows. &amp;quot;Let's just say, yes, the police here are...over whelmed...&amp;quot; is he polielty saying 'Inpept?' probably. &amp;quot;It allows me to function wit a bit more impunity.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss says, &amp;quot;Right.  Masked vigilante stuff.  I can totally relate actually.&amp;quot; She takes one final drag and crushes out the butt on her tire of her bike.  She doesn't go into details about the whole vigilante thing.  &amp;quot;Well I'll rely on myself anyway.  When seconds count, the police are only minutes away, right?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batman says, &amp;quot;That's what they say,&amp;quot; he smirks just slightly. 'You're a fighter, I can tell...they shouldn't bother you at this point...but it might be a good idea to keep your eyes open.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss says, &amp;quot;Ever vigilante I assure you.  I didn't make it to the ripe old age of 20 being careless.&amp;quot; Which is a complete utter bullshit lie. She is perhaps one of the most hot-headed and careless members of the Knight Sabers with a smart mouth on her that gets her into trouble more often than gets her out.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batman hms. Finding he likes this one. She has that inner fire. &amp;quot;I'm betting you'll be fine,&amp;quot; he nods a little to her. Respect. 'It's good knowing there are some real fighters here.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss says, &amp;quot;Well I fight therefor I am.  I prefer to just let my rage out on stage with my music but I'm not afraid to slap a bitch if I have too.&amp;quot; She chuckled then nodded at Bats.  &amp;quot;You have to brawl a lot I take it?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batman almost laughs at Priss' remarks. &amp;quot;I've been known to throw a punch or two, yes,&amp;quot; he shakes his head slighty, &amp;quot;I'm Batman,&amp;quot; he usually doesn't have to introduce himself, and it almost sounds comical when he says it, at least to himself, who else could he be?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss says, &amp;quot;I'm Priss.  Nice to meet the great and fearsome Batman.  I thought you always stayed in the shadows and never came out to be social?  Guess they got it wrong at the press office.&amp;quot; She pulls out ONE more cigarette.  She's been smoking way to much lately.  Damn it...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batman says, &amp;quot;I make exceptions when I meet someone interesting. Gargoyles aren't much for conversation,&amp;quot; was that a joke? naw, couldn't be. &amp;quot;Otherwise, yes, I tend to avoid crowds.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss laughed at the joke as she visual see's Bats sitting there talking to a stone gargoyle who looks like he gives two effs.  &amp;quot;Ah, you just need to crash more parties.  I am sure you could totally hang at a dance club doing the Batusee for all to behold in awe.  You'd become the life of the party.&amp;quot; She chuckles as she envisions this dark scary Batman busting serious DDR moves on the dance floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batman waves a hand dismissingly, &amp;quot;I'm afraid not...not good for the image.&amp;quot; he answers. Something about the very word 'batusi' gives him a cold chill. She reminds him a bit of Selena, maybe? &amp;quot;I'll stick with my modis oppurandi, thanks.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss nodded with a smirk, &amp;quot;Probably for the best.  You are the beacon of the Vigilante!  Everyone who aspires to kick ass and take names probably has a little shrine to you they worship out before the put on their hockey masks and get their golf clubs ready to rumble.  We wouldn't want to bring you down from your god like status.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batman is silent for a moment. Then...&amp;quot;Heh..heheh..&amp;quot; he actually laughs, just for a second, but there it is. 'Give us mortals a bit more credit, gods are over-rated.&amp;quot; Yeah, I'm talking about you, Clark.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss says, &amp;quot;That they are.  As someone who is worshipped and adored I am totally in-line with your idea there.&amp;quot;  She does have quite a few fans.  Of course they follow her for her music and not her ability to demolish a Boomer in 4.5 seconds or less.  A girl has to keep her secrets.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batman says, &amp;quot;It's nice to have met you, I'm sure we'll bump into each othere again,&amp;quot; he nods to her, &amp;quot;I have to get back to work though.&amp;quot; He fires off his grappler into the darkness of the buildings above. &amp;quot;Good evening.&amp;quot; The launches himself up, dissapering into the night with a flap of his cape...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss watches him vanish into the night and takes another puff of her cigrette then throws the half smoked thing on the ground and crushes it out with her boot.  She exhales and picks up her helmet.  &amp;quot;Weird ass night.  I'm going to have to write a song about this one...&amp;quot;  She puts the helmet on and starts up her bike and peels out, racing into the night.&lt;br /&gt;

You see a rather lovely half-elf woman who looks like she could be in her early twenties.  She has long blonde hair currently loose and wavy around her shoulders.  Her outfit consists of a simple loose red cotton off the shoulder top and a pair of khaki capris.  On her feet are a pair of white wedged strappy sandals.  Around her neck is a silver chain with a silver pendant hanging from it.  The pendant itself has a sparkling blue gem in it. Three pairs of silver stud earrings, one star shaped, one just ball shaped, and one dagger shaped, line her pointed ears. Resting on her head is a silver circlet. Wrapping around her left arm is an ornate tattoo of a wreath of leaves that seems to shimmer on its own.Slung across her body is a red canvas bag, and embroidered on the flap is a purple wizard's hat and a set of faerie wings with a heart outline surrounding them. She catches your eye, smiles and winks, and goes back to what she was doing.&lt;br /&gt;

Title    = Making Rock Deals&lt;br /&gt;
|Summary = Priss stops by the Usual to find out how to get stage time for her band.&lt;br /&gt;
|Who     = [[Priss]], [[Ari]], [[Skeeve]], [[Lee]], [[Gonfei]], [[Miriam]]&lt;br /&gt;
|Date    = June 3rd, 2016&lt;br /&gt;
|Where   = The Usual Restaurant&lt;br /&gt;
|Log=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
INT. - THE USUAL RESTAURANT - NIGHT&lt;br /&gt;
------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
You walk into a well lighted room, it's high ceilings lit by dozens of fluorescent lamps hanging from the ceiling. To the south and west are windows, which you would normally expect to see the outside world from, but looking out of them, you see only a misty gray haze. On the walls to the north and the east of the inn are an eclectic collection of paintings, photographs and even holographs of many cheap 1970's to 1980's B-movies. The bar on the east side is made out of hardwood, it's surface polished and shiny. Behind the bar, the various beverages that are served here are kept in relatively neat containers on wooden shelves. There is a large stage in one of the corners of the restaurant with a impressive sound system and a few microphones strung about it. Multiple round wood tables are in this room, near the north wall, is a double swing door that leads to the kitchen. On the east wall is a door leading to the UR's dance club and on the west one leading to the Gym. To the south, is the exit to the outside. A recent addition to the UR is a large fireplace against the west wall, it matches well to the rest of the restaurant and looks like it should have been there all along.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Exits   : UR's Workout (G)ym, UR's (D)ance Club, Private Booth(2), Private Booth(1), [K]itchen, and (O)ut ]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Players : Lee, Ari, and Gonfei ]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Things  : The Usual Pinball Machine, and The Banned List ]&lt;br /&gt;
---------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
Priss comes in, stuffing her hands in her pockets after she gets through the door.  What was it about this stupid place that made her always want to stop in on the way by?  She heads toward the bar, putting as much room as she can between the other bar patrons and herself, waiting for the bartender to head over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Hey, can ya brew tea in liquor?&amp;quot; Lee suggests playfully, nudging Ari in the side. Lee glances over toward Priss breifly as she appears, but doesn't say anything after she sits at the opposite end of the bar.&lt;br /&gt;
Ari sticks her tongue out at Lee for a moment before turning to Gonfei. &amp;quot;Creative, and with high proof. Six of them. I would like to get a /little/ buzzed.&amp;quot; she smirks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gonfei raises an eyebrow, and starts looking through the liquers to make his selections.   The first drink comes up.  &amp;quot;Pluque.  Have fun with that one.&amp;quot;  Then another.  &amp;quot;Venusian Beet Liquer.  Sounded interesting.&amp;quot;  And a bit of rooting find the third, which he pours and it sets itself on fire.  &amp;quot;Sulfuron Slammer.&amp;quot;  He then pours the fourth into a metal cup.  &amp;quot;Chech'tluth.&amp;quot;  A bit more searching finds the fifth, &amp;quot;Moloko Plus.&amp;quot;   Finally comes the last drink:  &amp;quot;Kentuky White Lightning.&amp;quot;  The six drinks now arrayed before Ari, he nods and says, &amp;quot;Enjoy,&amp;quot; before walking down to the other end of the bar.  &amp;quot;So, what can I do for you today, Miss?&amp;quot; he asks of Priss.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss pulled out her pack of smokes and laid them on the counter.  &amp;quot;Give me a Hitachino White Ale if you got it and information.&amp;quot;  She stabbed a thumb at the empty stage.  &amp;quot;Who do I have kill to get some gigs for my band up on that stage?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ari takes the first shot and downs it, grinning. &amp;quot;Not bad, not bad..&amp;quot; she kind of perks up at Priss' question. &amp;quot;Oooh, another musician!&amp;quot; She nods to Priss.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Six?&amp;quot; Lee exclaims, looking to Ari in surprise. &amp;quot;You got a robo-liver, too? I'll /maybe/ have a couple beers...&amp;quot; Lee peers suspiciously at the drinks. &amp;quot;Okay... beets are a pretty color.&amp;quot; Lee waves a hand over the chech'tluth. &amp;quot;And the smoking's a nice special effect.&amp;quot; Lee eyes the pulque. &amp;quot;Uhh... not gonna say what that looks like.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gonfei grins at Priss.  &amp;quot;Ma'am, we've got everything.  It just can take time to find the rarer stuff.&amp;quot;  At the second question, he glances over at the stage.  &amp;quot;Well, I don't think you need to kill anyone, actually.  I can send word up to my bosses that you're interested, but that's...  not something that came up in job orientation.  Not a whole lot of people ask to use it, to be honest.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss grinned.  &amp;quot;Well that's because I wasn't in town.   Few should be allowed to use it because some can make paint peel off the wall.&amp;quot; High and mighty ain't she!?  &amp;quot;Well do you have contact info for said boss?  Really looking to get to playing some.  Gotta start somewhere right?   Stage in a little bar and probably the NT Arena next month.&amp;quot; She grinned again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gonfei raises an eyebrow.  &amp;quot;Tell you what...  lemme go about this the other way around...&amp;quot;  He slides a pen and napkin to Priss.  &amp;quot;I'll pass on the message with your contact information to 'em.&amp;quot;  He then turns to retreive the Hitachino White Ale!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ari downs the next shot (in order recieved), which would be the beet liquor.  She nods appreciatively. &amp;quot;I can get behind that one.&amp;quot; she looks to Priss. &amp;quot;I'm remodeling my night club, and it has a stage. I can play, but I usually just DJ.  If you're interested when it's open, anyway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss looked the pretty half-elf over as she butts in on the convo.  Normally she'd be a little annoyed by Ari has two things going for her; 1) She's cute and reminds her of a friend, 2) Another possible gig.   She writes her contact info on the classy napkin.  &amp;quot;Oh yeah?  What's the name of the place?&amp;quot; She says to Ari.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lee listens in intently at the talk of musical performance, looking from Priss to Ari as Ari makes the offer. For the moment, Lee keeps quiet and watches the sulfuron burn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ari downs the next shot, shivering. &amp;quot;Woo!&amp;quot; she grins. &amp;quot;It's called the Haven.  It's right on the beach, so it's in a great location.  Plus I pay for gigs.&amp;quot;  She looks back to Lee. &amp;quot;It takes more than a few shots to get me buzzed, hon.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss slides the info to the barkeep and puts trust in that he'll deliver the note.   &amp;quot;Beach front property?  Nice.  Yeah.  Sign me up.  We can talk about it when you are done drowning yourself in booze.&amp;quot; She smirked then pulled out a cancer stick and lit it up, saluting the barkeep as her drink was delivered and opened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gonfei offers a quick salute back in return, then heads back to the center of the bar to look over the place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lee nods at Ari's assurance about the alcohol. &amp;quot;Would be nice t' get someone who's playing at the arena into your club for the opening.&amp;quot; Lee then adds curiously, &amp;quot;You still wanna call the place 'Summon the Kraken' when ya reopen it?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ari shrugs. &amp;quot;I don't know yet. I may.&amp;quot; she downs the fourth, fifth, and sixth shots in rapid succession. &amp;quot;That.. was in an interesting combo.&amp;quot; she chuckles. &amp;quot;The name will evolve with the place, I think. Which reminds me, I'm tooling the holographic displays into an interactive building planning grid, so we can design the place in 3D glory on the fly.&amp;quot;  Her speech starts slurring very slightly towards the end of that sentence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss just goes back to her own little world, smoking, drinking and checking her cell phone messages as she soaks up the ambience of the bar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Skeeve appears in a puff of purple smoke with a soft *bamf*&lt;br /&gt;
Skeeve has arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
Miriam has arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
Skeeve enters, with Miriam walking along next to him. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lee raises a brow at Ari's combination of milk, smoke-emitting drink, and a more conventional-looking liquor. &amp;quot;Sure hope the bartender knows what he's doing there, Ari...&amp;quot; Lee remarks, waving to the empty shot glasses. &amp;quot;Or ya have a cyber-stomach.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ari giggles a little. Oh boy. &amp;quot;I do not, in fact, have a cyber stomach. But that would be awesome!&amp;quot; she definitely has just downed six shots of various origins.  She stands up and is a little unsteady on her feet. &amp;quot;But.. 'sworth it!&amp;quot; she grins as the effects start hitting her.  All of them. She kind of looks up at the non descript ceiling at something that isn't really there. &amp;quot;Ooooh... pretty!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Skeeve chooses this opportunity to appear in a burst of purple smoke, as though he just walked through the door next to Miriam.  &amp;quot;...wanted fourteen for it.  *Fourteen*.  Anyway, when the smoke cleared we all just kind of left.  No reason to stick around after that.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Miriam shakes her head, &amp;quot;Those guys get crazier every year. &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gonfei raises an eyebrow.  &amp;quot;You said it takes a lot to get you buzzed.  Did you lie to me?&amp;quot;  He speaks to Ari in a tone suggestive of an adult talking to a child as he crosses his arms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss ignores the antics for now at the other end of the bar, taking a drag from her cigarette as she thumbs through her phone text messages.  She exchanges the cigarette for her beer bottle and takes a drink before swapping out again for the cancer stick.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lee braces their tail against the bottom of the barstool and leans the long neck back to get a better view of exactly what Ari is looking at. Lee frowns a little when there is nothing there. Then Skeeve and Miri appear, and Lee gives them a finger-wave and a smile while looking at them upside-down. Lee then straightens and looks back up to Ari. &amp;quot;What'cha seeing there, Ari?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Give the elf a break, one of the drinks was Moloko Plus. This is not exactly just booze&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Give the elf a break, one of the drinks was Moloko Plus. This is not exactly just booze.  She keeps looking at the ceiling, eyes going back and forth. &amp;quot;The dragons are having a tennis match! They're adorable!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Skeeve returns Lee's casual little wave, starting to head over in the direction of the bar.  &amp;quot;Yeah, pretty much.  Just completely have lost it at this point.&amp;quot;  As he sidles up to the bar, he says lightly, &amp;quot;Evening, Lee... hi hot stuff.  Uh...&amp;quot;  He can't help but tilt his head up a little, following Ari's gaze.  &amp;quot;Are... are you okay?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Miriam blinks. Several times, even. She looks around, hanging onto Skeeve while getting her bearings, then looks at Ari, the ceiling, Ari, the ceiling, and Skeeve. After a moment, she gives a half wave to Lee, completely confused. She stammers out a &amp;quot;Yeah... um... lost it. For sure.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Oookay...&amp;quot; Lee says to Ari with a grin, still seated and finishing off the citrus tea that the two of them started with. Lee turns around in the seat to lean their back on the bar and look up at Skeeve and Miriam. &amp;quot;Ari asked for six shots of 'something creative'. Looks like ya get all the colors of the rainbow when ya mix 'em together.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ari watches the dragon tennis match that only she can see. &amp;quot;Aw, the blue one won! But the red one doesn't look too happy...&amp;quot; her eyes grow wide, and she eeps! and dives under a table. &amp;quot;Don't singe my hair! I'm having a good hair day!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss looks over as the half-elf dives under the bar and raises a WTF eyebrow and watches the antics unfold as she nurses that beer and cigarette.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Skeeve kneels down next to the table, reaches out a hand to put it on Ari's shoulder.  &amp;quot;Hey, maybe you should come out from under there, huh?  You'll get dirt in your hair, and then where will you be?  Let us worry about the dragons.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Miriam nods at Skeeve. She makes a gesture, &amp;quot;There. Protective bubble. No scorching Ari.&amp;quot; She blinks at Lee, &amp;quot;Six?&amp;quot; she eyes Ari again, &amp;quot;Yowch.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lee digs into a vest pouch for the money to pay for the tea. (It's all in change and small bills.) Lee then looks in Ari's direction and goes ahead to pay for her drinks too before hopping to the ground. Lee wanders over to join the three.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ari wrinkles her nose at Skeeve and Miri, then cautiously peeks out from the table, and says in a loud whisper. &amp;quot;But it's /mad/ at me! And you said the red ones were bad!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Skeeve shakes his head a little bit at that, suppressing a smile.  &amp;quot;Only when they're bigger than a pony.  Promise.&amp;quot;  He tugs gently, but insistently, on Ari's shoulder, trying to pull her out from under the table.  Looking up and over at Lee, he asks, &amp;quot;What did they give her, anyway?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Miriam nods encouragingly, &amp;quot;He's right.  Plus, bubble! Singe-proof!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lee peers between Miriam and Skeeve to offer Ari an encouraging smile. &amp;quot;Oh, dunno if I remember,&amp;quot; Lee answers Skeeve. &amp;quot;Lessee... Something White Lightning, something that looked like milk, something smoking, something flaming- a Sulfur Slammer, beet liquor, and something that looked like, uh... white and goopy.&amp;quot; Lee adds, &amp;quot;Oh, and citrus tea. I had that.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ari crawls out from under the table slowly. &amp;quot;Okay, but if that thing charges me...&amp;quot; she does the two fingers back and forth 'I'm watching you' gesture to the non-existant dragon as she stands up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Skeeve shakes his head a little at the list of various liquors that Lee runs down.  &amp;quot;Nothing like a variety, I guess...&amp;quot;  He helps Ari back up into a seat at the bar.  &amp;quot;C'mon, take a seat before you fall over, okay?  Let's get some water into you....&amp;quot;  He snags up a pitcher of water, pours a glass for her.  &amp;quot;Miri, you want anything?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Miriam nods a little, again, looking to Lee, &amp;quot;None of that sounds like good...&amp;quot; She smiles cheerily at Ari, &amp;quot;It'll have to get through us first!&amp;quot; After a moment, she nods, &amp;quot;Just an apple juice, I think.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I've sure never seen anyone do /that/ kinda variety,&amp;quot; Lee agrees with Skeeve, then grins and motions toward Ari at Miriam's remark. &amp;quot;Hey, sounds to me like she enjoyed it.&amp;quot; Lee hops back into a seat at the bar, opting for sitting next to Skeeve rather than Miriam in apparent defense of their cell phone. &amp;quot;So how're you two doing?&amp;quot; Lee asks brightly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ari takes the glass and tips her head back to chug it. She's not exactly being graceful with it, and in fact a bunch splashes out of the glass.  She empties it, and says in her best Thor impression: &amp;quot;This drink, I like it!&amp;quot; she throws the glass to the ground. &amp;quot;Another!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Skeeve has to bite down on his lip, rather hard, to keep from busting out laughing at that.  &amp;quot;Well, evidently not as good as Ari is.... but I'm doing alright.&amp;quot;  He reaches behind the bar, snags another cup for Ari - a plastic one, this time - and pours her some more water, then calls over to a waitress, &amp;quot;Can I get some apple juice and a milkshake, please?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Miriam shakes her head a little, &amp;quot;That's... not that it's not enjoyable, or possibly tasty. But to hit that hard that fast, it's not any kind of good.&amp;quot; She blinks at Ari, &amp;quot;Um... isn't it customary to have your glass refilled? Or have I been doing it wrong?&amp;quot; She nods a little to Lee, noting their seating choice and seemingly approving wholeheartedly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss had enough fun.  She did what she set out to do here.  She looked at her watch, finished off the last of her beer the walked away from the bar, stopping at the place Ari was.  She jammed her hands in her pocket and pulled out a card and presented it to the lesser of the trashed folk.  &amp;quot;My card for the lady there.  Have her call me some time when she's not seeing dragons.&amp;quot; She doesn't care who takes it as long as someone takes it.  She nods to Lee, acknowledging the strange feather alien she met yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lee winces at the crash. &amp;quot;Might wanna avoid doing that unless someone gives ya special smashing glasses,&amp;quot; Lee supplies, leaning back to speak to Miriam. &amp;quot;Glad you're good, Skeeve. Doing pretty well here, was just chatting with Ari 'bout all kinds 'f stuff. But I'm wondering if talking 'bout Ari's... uh... 'high-genetic-similarity people' might've been why she decided on doing some shots.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lee grins up at Priss with her farewell remark. &amp;quot;Catch ya later! I do a mean hang-drum, by the way.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ari chugs that water too... then proceeds to chew on the plastic cup. Not biting through it, just chewing.&lt;br /&gt;
Skeeve lets out a little sigh as Ari starts chewing on the props, but reaches out to take Priss' card.  &amp;quot;I'll make sure she gets the message.&amp;quot;  He offers a polite salute, with the card.  &amp;quot;Have a nice evening, miss.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Miriam grins and nods, &amp;quot;What he said.&amp;quot; She blinks then takes a few moments to consider what Lee has said, and re-parse their words. She nods a little, &amp;quot;I think... that probably makes sense.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss stuffs her hands back in her jacket and strolls out the door to her bike.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CUT TO:  EXT. CENTER OF NEOTOKYO - NIGHT&lt;br /&gt;
------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here you are in the epicenter of the insanity lovingly known as NeoTokyo and right in what seems to be the center lies the mysterious wonder known as Tokyo Tower, now seeming to have found it's way as an epicenter in this altered world. From here you can go in many directions to various streets and homes and wherever you may want to go. The area oddly enough seems to give off an odd aura from every direction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Exits   : &amp;lt;Up&amp;gt; into Sky (Locked), (A)rena, (C)entral Train Station, The (U)sual Restaurant, (To)kyo Tower, (S)outh, (W)est, (N)orth, (E)ast, and (B)us to the Narita Airport ]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Players : Batman ]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Things  : Spirit Gate of the Soul ]&lt;br /&gt;
--------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
Priss walks out of the restaurant, lighting up another cigarette.  &amp;quot;Weird ass people...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batman is up above, surveying the street below, noting Priss as she walks out of the usual. Yes, more weird ass people. &amp;quot;Hmm...&amp;quot; He swings down on his line, seeming to be studtying the street near the alleyway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss sits on her bike, going through her phone again while finishing up the cancer stick.  &amp;quot;Maybe we can finally start getting shit done in this lame city....&amp;quot;  She texts someone something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batman turns after examining the area, then moves over towards Priss. &amp;quot;Nice bike,&amp;quot; he offers, regarding her and her ride.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss says, &amp;quot;Thanks.&amp;quot;  She doesn't look up at first but she didn't like the tone of that voice.  It sounded like someone swallowing granite so she looks up quickly and stares upon.. THE BATMAN.  &amp;quot;Holy shit!  You're that bat weirdo they talk about in the papers!   Nice costume.&amp;quot;  She took a long drag and looked the muscle suited Dark Knight over.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batman regards Priss for a moment. Bat weirdo. Guess he's heard worse. &amp;quot;Thanks,&amp;quot; he says in reply, &amp;quot;It gets the job done.&amp;quot; He ponders a moment. &amp;quot;I'm looking into a string of...attempted kidnappings, Miss,&amp;quot; he adds, &amp;quot;The kidnappers seem to be targeting...innocents...new;y arrived. Apparently, they're being..collected. You may want to keep a look out as well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss nodnods and takes a long drag looking unconcerned.  &amp;quot;I see the police are ever effective as usual in keeping the streets of NT safe for damsels like myself.   Kidnapping huh?  Assholes better be wearing body armor if they try to kidnap me.&amp;quot;  She pats her jacket.  Maybe she's packing heat?   &amp;quot;So how many have they kidnapped so far and any leads?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batman says, &amp;quot;They seem to be starting with soft targets, so far, there have been a few attempts but no known abductions. But that's not confirmed. Might be a while before they work up to a tough target like you...though...I'm sure your cycle would be high on the list. Apparently, this, 'Collector' is collecting 'living collectibles' but I'm certain he or she wouldn't turn up thier nose at high-end machinery.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss says, &amp;quot;TCh!  Anyone touches this bike I'm going to jail for brutality!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss grinned then took another drag and then nodded at Bats.  &amp;quot;So... why the outfit?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batman says, &amp;quot;Long story,&amp;quot; is there the slightest smile on his face? hard to tell, could be shadows. &amp;quot;Let's just say, yes, the police here are...over whelmed...&amp;quot; is he polielty saying 'Inpept?' probably. &amp;quot;It allows me to function wit a bit more impunity.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss says, &amp;quot;Right.  Masked vigilante stuff.  I can totally relate actually.&amp;quot; She takes one final drag and crushes out the butt on her tire of her bike.  She doesn't go into details about the whole vigilante thing.  &amp;quot;Well I'll rely on myself anyway.  When seconds count, the police are only minutes away, right?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batman says, &amp;quot;That's what they say,&amp;quot; he smirks just slightly. 'You're a fighter, I can tell...they shouldn't bother you at this point...but it might be a good idea to keep your eyes open.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss says, &amp;quot;Ever vigilante I assure you.  I didn't make it to the ripe old age of 20 being careless.&amp;quot; Which is a complete utter bullshit lie. She is perhaps one of the most hot-headed and careless members of the Knight Sabers with a smart mouth on her that gets her into trouble more often than gets her out.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batman hms. Finding he likes this one. She has that inner fire. &amp;quot;I'm betting you'll be fine,&amp;quot; he nods a little to her. Respect. 'It's good knowing there are some real fighters here.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss says, &amp;quot;Well I fight therefor I am.  I prefer to just let my rage out on stage with my music but I'm not afraid to slap a bitch if I have too.&amp;quot; She chuckled then nodded at Bats.  &amp;quot;You have to brawl a lot I take it?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batman almost laughs at Priss' remarks. &amp;quot;I've been known to throw a punch or two, yes,&amp;quot; he shakes his head slighty, &amp;quot;I'm Batman,&amp;quot; he usually doesn't have to introduce himself, and it almost sounds comical when he says it, at least to himself, who else could he be?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss says, &amp;quot;I'm Priss.  Nice to meet the great and fearsome Batman.  I thought you always stayed in the shadows and never came out to be social?  Guess they got it wrong at the press office.&amp;quot; She pulls out ONE more cigarette.  She's been smoking way to much lately.  Damn it...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batman says, &amp;quot;I make exceptions when I meet someone interesting. Gargoyles aren't much for conversation,&amp;quot; was that a joke? naw, couldn't be. &amp;quot;Otherwise, yes, I tend to avoid crowds.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss laughed at the joke as she visual see's Bats sitting there talking to a stone gargoyle who looks like he gives two effs.  &amp;quot;Ah, you just need to crash more parties.  I am sure you could totally hang at a dance club doing the Batusee for all to behold in awe.  You'd become the life of the party.&amp;quot; She chuckles as she envisions this dark scary Batman busting serious DDR moves on the dance floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batman waves a hand dismissingly, &amp;quot;I'm afraid not...not good for the image.&amp;quot; he answers. Something about the very word 'batusi' gives him a cold chill. She reminds him a bit of Selena, maybe? &amp;quot;I'll stick with my modis oppurandi, thanks.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss nodded with a smirk, &amp;quot;Probably for the best.  You are the beacon of the Vigilante!  Everyone who aspires to kick ass and take names probably has a little shrine to you they worship out before the put on their hockey masks and get their golf clubs ready to rumble.  We wouldn't want to bring you down from your god like status.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batman is silent for a moment. Then...&amp;quot;Heh..heheh..&amp;quot; he actually laughs, just for a second, but there it is. 'Give us mortals a bit more credit, gods are over-rated.&amp;quot; Yeah, I'm talking about you, Clark.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss says, &amp;quot;That they are.  As someone who is worshipped and adored I am totally in-line with your idea there.&amp;quot;  She does have quite a few fans.  Of course they follow her for her music and not her ability to demolish a Boomer in 4.5 seconds or less.  A girl has to keep her secrets.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batman says, &amp;quot;It's nice to have met you, I'm sure we'll bump into each othere again,&amp;quot; he nods to her, &amp;quot;I have to get back to work though.&amp;quot; He fires off his grappler into the darkness of the buildings above. &amp;quot;Good evening.&amp;quot; The launches himself up, dissapering into the night with a flap of his cape...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss watches him vanish into the night and takes another puff of her cigrette then throws the half smoked thing on the ground and crushes it out with her boot.  She exhales and picks up her helmet.  &amp;quot;Weird ass night.  I'm going to have to write a song about this one...&amp;quot;  She puts the helmet on and starts up her bike and peels out, racing into the night.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[File:Police-Town2.png|right]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If ever you wanted to know what justice looked like wonder no more.  At the heart of the downtown area of Neo-Tokyo City is the impressive Police Town Tower.  This beacon of law and order was built fifteen years ago and replaced the outdated and tiny NT Police building that once occupied the block. It was quickly realized that the normal police structure and equipment used to help enforce law in the city that never sleeps was not going to be up to par with the flood of super powered and super weird criminals flooding into the reality.  Funding was extremely tight and city planners doubted they could do anything to upgrade the police force that was constantly getting it's butt handed to it by criminal elements until one day a mysterious benefactor donated an insane amount of money to the city with the strict caveat that it was to be spent on upgrading the police infrastructure of the city and prepare it meet the standards of today's super criminals and other weirdness. Over the course of a year the forty story sky scrapper of justice slowly rose into the skyline and there it remains today.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== BUILDING LAYOUT ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Police-Town-Floors.png|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
The Tower is forty stories tall though not all the floors have a separate designated use nor have they been created. Some of it is just administration.  Some of the floors are used to serve as the maximum security prison.  The below diagram to the left roughly lays out what floor's have active rooms you can go to and what's on that floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;'''Floor 1''' - This floor houses bookings, the waiting room, the holding cell, briefing rooms for the officers and many of the offices of the ranking police officers.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;'''Floor 2''' - This floor has the notorious cafeteria, Olympic pool, gym, showers and locker rooms as well as the firing range.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;'''Floor 3''' - This floor is where bad guys go to get interrogated.  It also houses the evidence storage vault and equipment requisitions departments.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;'''Floor 4-20''' - This is the maximum prison.  Floor after floor of cells hold some of the worst scum NT City has ever experienced.  These floors have some of the highest level of tech and security in the building. (explained in detail below)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;'''Floor 21''' - This floor is home to Section 9 which handles intelligence gathering and special espionage units.  This place is referred to by other office as the Spooks.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;'''Floor 22''' - This floor is for Internal Investigation Services aka Internal Affairs.  These cops make sure other cops are staying on the straight an narrow and weed out corruption in the force.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;'''Floor 23''' - This floor is dedicated to the hardworking people that keep the police books balanced and handle all damage claims.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;'''Floor 25''' - 911 Dispatch Call Center.  Enough said.  You call in for help, this is where the call goes.  From there dispatchers can send out the appropriate response teams.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;'''Floor 30''' - This floor is off limits to unauthorized personal.  This floor controls all the security in the building and outside the building.  Seeing the section on building security for details.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;'''Floor 31''' - This floor is home to the AMP; Attacked Mystification Police.  These guys handle all the scary supernatural cases and can also go toe to toe with criminal mages of the city.  This floor is referred to as the Twilight Zone by other police departments.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;'''Floor 35-40''' - These floors are home to the G-Police, the Airforce of the Neo-Tokyo police.  The 35th floor houses their offices, briefing room and pilot locker rooms.  The other floors store their various flying machines which are then lifted onto the roof by moving platforms.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;There are also three sub-floors under the tower that are not talked about the often and are not shown in the diagram.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;'''Subfloor S1''' - The first sub-floor houses the forensic labs, autopsy room and the morgue.  If it is dead, it goes here first for examination.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;'''Subfloor S2''' - This floor is off limits to unauthorized personnel.  It houses the tower's main power generator systems and the secondary backups.  Anyone without proper ID and security will be detained post haste.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;'''Subfloor S3''' - The deepest darkest part of the tower is home to the building's shield generator room and the magic nullification chamber as well as Team Warrior's meeting room and computer center.  See the section of security for further information.  This place is also very very bad for you to be if you are not authorized.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== EXTERNAL DEFENSES ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The exterior of the building has multiple layers of external defenses to protect the structure from attack.  The first line of defense, if active, is a shield system that provides protection from energy based weapons, much like the shields of a starship. The shields are powered by the shield generators located on Sub-Floor 3 inside the tower.  The shields are not quite as effective at keeping projectile based weapons such as cannon rounds, rockets and missiles out.  For those kinds of attacks the building must rely on it's thick Duracrete(tm) armor and reinforced plate steel armor layers underneath. The armor can handle impacts from up to 155mm howitzer rounds and can defeat most anti-tank missiles.  Repeated strikes in the same location can quickly take their toll though and allow for penetration into the building interior, if the attacker is around long enough to continue concentrated fire on the same spot.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;All of the windows around the building are made of bullet resistant Plexiglas and are able to withstand multiple impacts from up to .50 caliber ordnance. They do not fare so well against cannon rounds, EX ammo, rockets or missiles. If a window is destroyed an armored shutter instantly deploys if the building is in red alert mode. These shutters can be deployed regardless of whether or not the window is destroyed and often are put in place if the building comes under attack just to add the extra layer of protection.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The top of the tower has additional defensive systems design to handle air threats.  These consist of four separate ''Phalanx 20mm point-defense turrets'' capable of tracking high-speed missiles and aircraft.  They can engage targets up to 2 miles away with a 6000 round per minute fire rate.  If that doesn't knock the threat from the sky two ''AAD-8 Rising Sun SAM'' launchers packing 8 missiles each can track and fire on targets up to eight miles away.  Each missile packs enough firepower to knock a large bomber class aircraft from the sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Lastly, thanks to the inclusion of the goddess built Nullification Chamber on Sub-Floor 3, the building has anti-magic protection.  When this system is fully engaged the building's exterior becomes warded and shielded against magic based attacks such as those created by Evocation spells. It also prevents people from teleporting into the tower uninvited (which this power is always on and must be disabled at the source).  This system can be overpowered if a constant stream of magic is pounded against it such as many mages attacking at once but it takes quite a bit of magic effort to do so.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== INTERNAL DEFENSES ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once inside attackers have some serious things to deal with if they plan to get far and do any serious damage.  For one, every floor is monitored by security cameras that feed back their footage to the heavily guarded security center on the 30th floor. These cameras have a high hacking threshold but it's not impossible to override them and shut them down. Once a threat has been ID on camera they can be tracked everywhere provided the camera system stays online and there is a working camera with which to spy with.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Many of the hallways and corridors have emergency bulkheads that can be deployed from the ceiling to stop the further advance of enemies in the building until they either cut through, blast through or find a way to override the security protocols on the bulkhead deployment system. In most cases, these doors are a foot thick and made of reinforced steel. Once a suspect is trapped between bulkheads gas can be pumped in through micro vents in the ceiling to knock the suspects out of they can't somehow filter out the gas.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;If things get extremely serious there are automatic LMGs that can drop from certain key locations throughout the building to engage targets with lethal firepower. And of course there are a sea of heavily armored officers to wade through.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== THE SECURITY CENTER ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
High up in the tower on the 30th floor is the Security Center.  This place houses the brain of the building which is constantly scanning, sweeping and measuring what is going on both inside and outside the building. All the sensors of the tower feed into this centralized location and the police Spiders sift through the information and make sure everyone and everything is safe and secure. Another team handles the computer security in the building, making sure hackers stay out and tracking down would be hackers to their physical location and bringing the smack down on them.  Only certain people are allowed up on this level and it cannot be accessed without the right security card and a retinal scan. The entire floor is protected against EMP attacks from external sources and it has it's own power generator backup should the main and backup building power systems fail.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== VEHICLE BAYS ==&lt;br /&gt;

The Tower is forty stories tall though not all the floors have a separate designated use nor have they been created. Some of it is just administration.  Some of the floors are used to serve as the maximum security prison.  The below diagram to the left roughly lays out what floor's have active rooms you can go to and what's on that floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;'''Floor 1''' - This floor houses bookings, the waiting room, the holding cell, briefing rooms for the officers and many of the offices of the ranking police officers.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;'''Floor 2''' - This floor has the notorious cafeteria, Olympic pool, gym, showers and locker rooms as well as the firing range.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;'''Floor 3''' - This floor is where bad guys go to get interrogated.  It also houses the evidence storage vault and equipment requisitions departments.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;'''Floor 4-20''' - This is the maximum prison.  Floor after floor of cells hold some of the worst scum NT City has ever experienced.  These floors have some of the highest level of tech and security in the building. (explained in detail below)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;'''Floor 21''' - This floor is home to Section 9 which handles intelligence gathering and special espionage units.  This place is referred to by other office as the Spooks.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;'''Floor 22''' - This floor is for Internal Investigation Services aka Internal Affairs.  These cops make sure other cops are staying on the straight an narrow and weed out corruption in the force.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;'''Floor 23''' - This floor is dedicated to the hardworking people that keep the police books balanced and handle all damage claims.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;'''Floor 25''' - 911 Dispatch Call Center.  Enough said.  You call in for help, this is where the call goes.  From there dispatchers can send out the appropriate response teams.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;'''Floor 30''' - This floor is off limits to unauthorized personal.  This floor controls all the security in the building and outside the building.  Seeing the section on building security for details.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;'''Floor 31''' - This floor is home to the AMP; Attacked Mystification Police.  These guys handle all the scary supernatural cases and can also go toe to toe with criminal mages of the city.  This floor is referred to as the Twilight Zone by other police departments.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;'''Floor 35-40''' - These floors are home to the G-Police, the Airforce of the Neo-Tokyo police.  The 35th floor houses their offices, briefing room and pilot locker rooms.  The other floors store their various flying machines which are then lifted onto the roof by moving platforms.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;There are also three sub-floors under the tower that are not talked about the often and are not shown in the diagram.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;'''Subfloor S1''' - The first sub-floor houses the forensic labs, autopsy room and the morgue.  If it is dead, it goes here first for examination.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;'''Subfloor S2''' - This floor is off limits to unauthorized personnel.  It houses the tower's main power generator systems and the secondary backups.  Anyone without proper ID and security will be detained post haste.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;'''Subfloor S3''' - The deepest darkest part of the tower is home to the building's shield generator room and the magic nullification chamber as well as Team Warrior's meeting room and computer center.  See the section of security for further information.  This place is also very very bad for you to be if you are not authorized.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== EXTERNAL DEFENSES ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The exterior of the building has multiple layers of external defenses to protect the structure from attack.  The first line of defense, if active, is a shield system that provides protection from energy based weapons, much like the shields of a starship. The shields are powered by the shield generators located on Sub-Floor 3 inside the tower.  The shields are not quite as effective at keeping projectile based weapons such as cannon rounds, rockets and missiles out.  For those kinds of attacks the building must rely on it's thick Duracrete(tm) armor and reinforced plate steel armor layers underneath. The armor can handle impacts from up to 155mm howitzer rounds and can defeat most anti-tank missiles.  Repeated strikes in the same location can quickly take their toll though and allow for penetration into the building interior, if the attacker is around long enough to continue concentrated fire on the same spot.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;All of the windows around the building are made of bullet resistant Plexiglas and are able to withstand multiple impacts from up to .50 caliber ordnance. They do not fare so well against cannon rounds, EX ammo, rockets or missiles. If a window is destroyed an armored shutter instantly deploys if the building is in red alert mode. These shutters can be deployed regardless of whether or not the window is destroyed and often are put in place if the building comes under attack just to add the extra layer of protection.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The top of the tower has additional defensive systems design to handle air threats.  These consist of four separate ''Phalanx 20mm point-defense turrets'' capable of tracking high-speed missiles and aircraft.  They can engage targets up to 2 miles away with a 6000 round per minute fire rate.  If that doesn't knock the threat from the sky two ''AAD-8 Rising Sun SAM'' launchers packing 8 missiles each can track and fire on targets up to eight miles away.  Each missile packs enough firepower to knock a large bomber class aircraft from the sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Lastly, thanks to the inclusion of the goddess built Nullification Chamber on Sub-Floor 3, the building has anti-magic protection.  When this system is fully engaged the building's exterior becomes warded and shielded against magic based attacks such as those created by Evocation spells. It also prevents people from teleporting into the tower uninvited (which this power is always on and must be disabled at the source).  This system can be overpowered if a constant stream of magic is pounded against it such as many mages attacking at once but it takes quite a bit of magic effort to do so.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== INTERNAL DEFENSES ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once inside attackers have some serious things to deal with if they plan to get far and do any serious damage.  For one, every floor is monitored by security cameras that feed back their footage to the heavily guarded security center on the 30th floor. These cameras have a high hacking threshold but it's not impossible to override them and shut them down. Once a threat has been ID on camera they can be tracked everywhere provided the camera system stays online and there is a working camera with which to spy with.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Many of the hallways and corridors have emergency bulkheads that can be deployed from the ceiling to stop the further advance of enemies in the building until they either cut through, blast through or find a way to override the security protocols on the bulkhead deployment system. In most cases, these doors are a foot thick and made of reinforced steel. Once a suspect is trapped between bulkheads gas can be pumped in through micro vents in the ceiling to knock the suspects out of they can't somehow filter out the gas.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;If things get extremely serious there are automatic LMGs that can drop from certain key locations throughout the building to engage targets with lethal firepower. And of course there are a sea of heavily armored officers to wade through.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
If ever you wanted to know what justice looked like wonder no more.  At the heart of the downtown area of Neo-Tokyo City is the impressive Police Town Tower.  This beacon of law and order was built fifteen years ago and replaced the outdated and tiny NT Police building that once occupied the block. It was quickly realized that the normal police structure and equipment used to help enforce law in the city that never sleeps was not going to be up to par with the flood of super powered and super weird criminals flooding into the reality.  Funding was extremely tight and city planners doubted they could do anything to upgrade the police force that was constantly getting it's butt handed to it by criminal elements until one day a mysterious benefactor donated an insane amount of money to the city with the strict caveat that it was to be spent on upgrading the police infrastructure of the city and prepare it meet the standards of today's super criminals and other weirdness. Over the course of a year the forty story sky scrapper of justice slowly rose into the skyline and there it remains today.&lt;br /&gt;

If ever you wanted to know what justice looked like wonder no more.  At the heart of the downtown area of Neo-Tokyo City is the impressive Police Town Tower.  This beacon of law and order was built fifteen years ago and replaced the outdated and tiny NT Police building that once occupied the block. It was quickly realized that the normal police structure and equipment used to help enforce law in the city that never sleeps was not going to be up to par with the flood of super powered and super weird criminals flooding into the reality.  Funding was extremely tight and city planners doubted they could do anything to upgrade the police force that was constantly getting it's butt handed to it by criminal elements until one day a mysterious benefactor donated an insane amount of money to the city with the strict caveat that it was to be spent on upgrading the police infrastructure of the city and prepare it meet the standards of today's super criminals and other weirdness. Over the course of a year the forty story sky scrapper of justice slowly rose into the skyline and there it remains today.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{Profile|&lt;br /&gt;
|Image=227377.jpg&lt;br /&gt;
|Name={{PAGENAME}}&lt;br /&gt;
|Series=Burn Up! W&lt;br /&gt;
|Threat=Bill Collectors!  &amp;gt;.&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;.&amp;lt;&lt;br /&gt;
|Class=Deputy Chief of Police&lt;br /&gt;
|Alignment=Lawful Good (Maybe a little Chaotic at times too)&lt;br /&gt;
|Gender=Female&lt;br /&gt;
|Species=Human&lt;br /&gt;
|Age=25&lt;br /&gt;
|Birthdate=July 1st&lt;br /&gt;
|Height=5'6&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|Weight=105 lbs&lt;br /&gt;
|Short=A sexy young blonde of about five and half feet with a bouncy rack, slim waist, rounds thighs and a booty that won't quit!  She has long blonde hair held up in a pony-tail.  Her eyes are a crystal blue color.  Definitely would be classified as a TOTAL (not a partial) hottie!&lt;br /&gt;
|Desc=Before you is the dictionary's definition of 'Sexy Blonde'.  She stands at around 5'10&amp;quot; and looks to weigh a petite 110lbs.  Most of her height comes from a pair of long shapely legs which convert into a pair of gorgeously curved hips.  Her waist is ultra slim, not quite Barbie proportions, with a washboard stomach.  Further up, her chest swells out attractively thanks to the power of good genetics.  To balance this top heavy weight is a perfect curvaceous rear end.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her looks belong to that 'One in a Million' category.  She has aquamarine colored eyes with thin eyebrows that gentle arch over the slightly slanted eyes.  Her blonde hair is thick and shiny with thick bangs that hang just above her eyes.  She keeps the brunt of her hair in a pony-tail that sticks up from the top and trails down her back ending just above her rear.  A pair of cat-tails slips in front of her small pierced ears resting atop her breasts.  Her face is pleasantly oval shaped with a thin cute nose and pouting wet lips.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Right now she is wearing her WARRIOR'S department police uniform.  It consists of a white short sleeve dress shirt tucked into a black thigh split mini skirt.  On the left sleeve is the Tokyo Police patch which shows a gold eagle with its wings spread.  On the eagle's chest is a fancy letter 'W'.  A blue vest with gold trimmings is worn over this shirt and it is cut in a fashion to be open across the chest, the edge slipping in under her breasts, effectively lifting and enhancing that particular feature.  A red tie slides down her chest and tucks inside the blue vest.  Over her left breast on the vest is her silver name tag that reads 'Kinezono'.  Light green stockings come up to a few inches past the knees.  On her feet are blue athletic tennis shoes.  She wears white fingerless gloves on her hands and a watch on her left wrist.&lt;br /&gt;

==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
Rio was born in the Kanto prefecture in Chiba, Japan and lived a rather normal childhood with her parents but was somewhat of a troublemaker in her teen years in high school. One of the more popular girls, she was always causing troubles by stealing boyfriends which led to more than a few physical fights which she usually triumphant in. She seemed to love fighting and her parents decided to enroll her in a martial arts school to give her combative nature a positive focus. She flunked out of class a short time after since she spent more time trying to catch boys than training. She did take some skills with her which would be refined in later years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When college time came around she was at a loss as to what career field to pursue and so just took basic courses while she continued to mull over what she wanted from life. She took a few modeling gigs to pay the bills and returned to taking martial arts as a hobby. She stuck with it this time and earned a brown belt in Judo which she would put to use in the near future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One fateful day while she was walking home a terrorist attack on a nearby building put the young college student in the middle of the action. Something clicked on in the blonde during the fighting between the terrorists and an unidentified police force. Never a fan of the rampant criminal occurrences that had plagued her city on a daily basis, Rio single handedly kick the living crap out of the terrorist leader and his cronies in a bout of vigilante rage which caught the attention of the anti-terrorist police leader of Warrior, Maki Kawasaki who was heading the operation that day. Convinced she had found the “Pointman” for her new Warrior counter terrorist unit, Maki put Rio through a series of tests without informing Rio she was in them. She managed to defeat Maki’s tests including the one where she allowed Maya the team sniper to shoot live rounds at Rio. Rio managed to get past Maya’s sniper fire and sneak up on her to take her down at which point Maki revealed her intentions to Rio. Excited by the prospect of a real job, real money and even the chance to stop crime in its tracks she agreed and was officially entered into the police academy special operations division where she received high quality training over the next 12 months, unlocking her latent talents in combat firearms and hand to hand combat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the pay started coming in she finally was able to afford a real apartment and moved from Chiba into Neo-Tokyo to be close to work. As the months wore on Rio developed a good friendship with her coworkers Maya, Lilica and Nanavol and was slightly attracted to the only male team member, Yuji. She also made friends with one of the girls from the accounting department for the Police Town center by the name Chisato. The two became very close and Rio relied a lot on Chisato to save her when financial troubles would strike. The Bank of Chisato as the two joked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chisato was taken from Rio during a terrorist assault on the Police Town tower by members of a paramilitary group looking to dump their new virtual drug on the streets of NT. Her unit got to close to uncovering the plot and so the leaders of the terrorist group sent in special assassins to retrieve the evidence from the Team Warrior labs. During the fighting one of the brain washed police officers open fired on police members in the accounting department fatally shooting Chisato. Rio nearly quit the police force after this incident but returned with a desire to avenge her girl friend’s death and bring down the drug cartel once and for all. To this end she was successful and thanks to her actions she was promoted to a lieutenant on the police force. She took several weeks off to recover emotionally from Chisato’s death but never returned to work… at least in that reality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio was unceremoniously dumped into the new Neo-Tokyo universe where her team did not exist and crime was completely rampant in the city. There was no police force, only a government run military force which focused more on the larger problems beyond the city, letting bounty hunters and the like take care of the inner city crime problem. A fateful run in with a cat girl police woman named Annapuma would change all that. The two managed to build a police state within the city which grew in strength and power. As the vortex that brought people into the world continued to do its work, Rio’s team began emerging to reform Warrior. More and more police oriented characters from other universes continued to show up and join her ranks until the police became a formidable presence in the town.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Department of Finances funded the building project to build a new Police Town tower. Rio was nominated as Chief of Police and took the job and continued to build the police up into a force capable of combating crime anywhere in the city without the aide of the military. In the first year of the Police Town official opening crime dropped nearly 60 percent across the city. Chief Kinezono was hailed as a hero of the people along with her dedicated officers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For eight years she served as Chief. She solved many cases, was wounded several times, twice nearly fatally and received many commendations from the city government for her service to the city. She was set to retire to private civilian life with her girlfriend Alice but whatever powers run the multiverse saw fit to yank her from that reality and drop her here in Metropolis Universalis. As she sits now in her car, only one thing goes through her mind…. “WTF….” &lt;br /&gt;

INT. DEPUTY CHIEF RIO'S OFFICE - DAY&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
Deputy Chief Kinezono's Office(#5824R)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You are currently in Chief Rio Kinezono's cluttered office, a wretched hive of scum and villainy, or at least that's what she claims.  Speaking of claims, there's a pile of them that makes her desk look like the skyline of Chicago.  The second thing you might notice is that her office has carpet unlike most of the rest of the station.  It is a deep blue and of the fabric type that bare feet appreciate when they are sore.  A decorative ceiling fan spins lazily over the desk rustling the papers stacked on it.  Behind the desk is Rio's high back leather chair and behind that is a bay window overlooking the city.  Two more chairs sit in front of the desk.  The wall to your right has a plaque and several framed photos hangin around it.  A potted plant sits in the corner, right of the bay window.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
It's been a few days since the Chinese gunmen had shot up the theater during the world premiere of Maggie Cheung's 'Goddess of Guns' motion picture.  The milk run babysitting duty Yuji and Rio had volunteered to be in charge of had gone from boring to HOLY HELL in five seconds.  Someone had come for the Chinese starlet.  After the gun smoke had settled there were dozens of wounded civvies with one dead at the scene and a total of four dead bad guys and one critically injured.  Six other suspects had avoided capture by using what was believed to be the sewer system.  No trace of them had been found since that night.   The helicopter that had been captured by Hellboy had proven thus far to be a dead end.  The vehicle had no registration and none of the parts on board were traceable back to any manufacturing plant.  The only lead left now was the female Chinese pilot that Hellboy had roughed up badly.  She was under lockdown and 24/7 police guard at the NT General Hospital.  The two who lived the fight were now hanging out in Chief Rio's office discussing something of great importance... DATENIGHT.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Yes.. I know I promised a date but I haven't approved it yet with Alice.  And don't think this is an invitation to anything but good food and company!&amp;quot; She eyed the other officer suspiciously.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa whistles innocently. &amp;quot;The thought never crossed my mind.&amp;quot; .. o 0(dammit)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Uh huh. Riiiiiiight you horndog!   Anyway, I'll get it squared away with her soon okay?  How's the hand?  You stall crying like a baby?  I mean you took a little wound but my skirt was murdered!  I had to get a new one and that cost money I didn't have....&amp;quot; she whined and pouted.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa can't seem to help talking shop. &amp;quot;So heard any more about the sentient trafficking that's going on?&amp;quot; He looks at his bandaged hand &amp;quot;It's fine, I needed a new shirt though. and you know what a pain getting them properly badged up is&amp;quot; He sighs. &amp;quot;Money Trouble again Rio. How do you manage that on a Chief's pay?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio looked really guilty and shrank in her chair a little.  &amp;quot;Hey... I have like 12 years of debt to pay off here!   And I am not in trouble I just don't like extra expenses that I shouldn't of had in the first place!  Gimme a break here!   Hey.. Rio, you want to babysit for some extra cash?  Sure boss lady!&amp;quot;  She spins around in her plush highback chair making machinegun sounds and finally kicks her long legs up on the desk and leaning back.  &amp;quot;World War three suddenly breaks out!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;And no.  I haven't been keeping up on the sentient trafficking case.  Not my case.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;Apparrently some goons with red eyes are kidnapping 'living collectables' Mostly Ponies it seems, Patrol was told to be on the lookout. The Cabbitplex was a mess... learn anything more about it? Investigation won't tell me squat.&amp;quot; He loses Rio's gaze for a moment as he admires her legs, and then looks her back in the eye. &amp;quot;I heard CSU found something interesting though Iris Kara still talks to me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Well the weapons and ammo that bad guys used at the theater is untraceable.  The helicopter we have sitting up in the maintenance bay the bad guys used is untraceable.  We haven't gotten squat on the dead guys in the morgue.  It's like they never exist on Earth and were like born in some vat in a crazy Chinese mad scientists lab and then unleashed on the world.  I mean did you see those guys out there?  They had no fear at all.  They were serious as hell.   We've had investigators pressing Mister Cheung for info about who the bad guys would be but he says he doesn't know.  I mean what kind of crazy asshole shoots up a theater and tries to whack or kidnap the star?   My money is on Chinese triads trying to make a quick buck by kidnapping some rich guy's little girl and extorting him for cash but even the triads aren't that crazy.   We've sent out some bat signals to the Hong Kong police to see what they got on these guys but haven't heard back from them yet.&amp;quot;  She re-crossed her legs, staring at the ceiling and then looked at Yuji suddenly.  &amp;quot;Wait.. ponies?  Sentient ponies?&amp;quot;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa Nods repeatedly, looking at Rio's legs again as she crosses them &amp;quot;Phew. Maybe they come from out of the badlands or something. CSU found some DNA and fingerprints but it was from the Private contractor who helped us. Hong Kong, Beijing, maybe someone knows something but MY money is on the otherdimensional. You've been on the street you know the crazy shit that drops in. Hell now we're getting Angels visiting. The Tank Police could do anything until the Evangelion thingies ripped open it's funky force field.&amp;quot; Then he nods repeatedly and sighs &amp;quot;Yeah, latest newcomers in town. I met one that claims to be a soldier in some sort of Royal Guard and I've heard there's others about from the rumours going around Patrol. This City man, nothing fazes me anymore.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio's left eye twitches at the thought of talking horses.. in the city.  &amp;quot;You are totally pulling my skirt!  TALKING PONIES!?  Just.... no!   Nope!&amp;quot;  She was still phased by stuff, especially weird ass stuff that should not exist!  She just shook her head then perked up.  &amp;quot;I watched the footage of that EVA thingie fighting that Angel thingie downtown.  That was bad ass!  Like Robot Jocks... only it didn't suck!  I am still amazed there were no causalities in that fight, only property damage.  I keep trying to remind myself why I come to work every day?  Terrorists is one thing but giant robots .. and now apparently TALKING horses.. that is another thing!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa grins &amp;quot;I kid you not, met one myself. They seem harmless enough. not sure what Crime they COULD do.&amp;quot; he shrugs. &amp;quot;I still find work to do. There's all kinds of evil the Giant Robots can't and don't deal with. I'll take your word for the Badassery. I was off duty that day thank goodness. But yeah talking horses and people kidnapping them. This City...&amp;quot; he shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio laughs at the absurdity of it all and then suddenly her door bursts open and Rio goes falling backwards out of her chair as she's startled.  Fan service for Yuji ensues.  Oh!  They are Teal colored today!   It's Sergeant Biggles in all his rounded belly police glory.  He looked out of breath, taking a moment to catch his breath.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sgt. Danalli Biggles gasped and wheezed... he was so going to die of a heart attack for sure.  &amp;quot;Chief!  You won't believe it!  I don't believe it!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio gathered herself up off the floor looking annoyed.  &amp;quot;Believe what?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa's eyes were NOT on biggles for long moments. Then he too looks over at the sargeant. &amp;quot;What's up Sarge?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sgt. Danalli Biggles stabbed a thumb back over his shoulder.  &amp;quot;Dispatch just got the call from the hospital.  Code 187 on that Chinese lady pilot suspect!  The one we've had under constant guard!  She's dead as a doornail.  Officers there responded to the nurse screaming when she went into the room.  When they got in there lady was dead.  Had a pretty smile carved into her throat!  They said wasn't anything out of place!   They heard noth'n!  Saw noth'n!  No windows broken.  No noth'n!  Just one dead suspect and a whole lotta WTFs!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio sighed and thumped her head, face first down on the desk.  &amp;quot;Jezz... you had ONE job guys!  ONE JOB!  How the hell-!?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;I tell you Chief I still think there's an other dimensional element here. Maybe super ninjas&amp;quot; He pauses &amp;quot;So...we checking out the crime scene?&amp;quot;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officers run by in the hallway outside as things pick up with the announcement of the 187 at the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Super Ninjas?  What the hell is a super ninja!?&amp;quot; she stared blankly at Yuji.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa nods at Rio. Not much to say at this point. He settles his gun belt and straightens up a little bit. Putting on his duty face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;It's probably one of those new talking ponies with a shank in it's mouth!  UGH!  I quit.  You become police chief!  I'm so done...&amp;quot; She sighed then opened the drawer of her desk and pulled our her service weapon and strapped it on to her leg then she put on her Boob-Window jacket and button it up.  There's the lovely lift factor Yuji has come to know and love so well.  &amp;quot;I guess we'll go check it out.  Forensics on the way?&amp;quot; She asked to Biggles.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sgt. Danalli Biggles says, &amp;quot;Yeah.  I think so.&amp;quot;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio looked at Yuji.  &amp;quot;Maybe if it is Psychic Killer Shanking Death Ninja Ponies we could use someone from the AMP to give the room a sweep?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa nods &amp;quot;I hear the AMP has it's own worries. Iris again, she also runs intelligence.&amp;quot; he does give Rio a look that's not in the eye &amp;quot;I think we could handle death ninja ponies&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Are you sure!?  Are you really SURE!?&amp;quot; She huffed and flicked her pony-tail back then saunter those hips out of the office.  &amp;quot;Biggles, let them know Yuji and I are going to be on scene shortly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sgt. Danalli Biggles says, &amp;quot;You got it Chief!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Come on loverboy.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa grins lopsidely, he loves it when she talks naughty to him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CUT TO:  INT. 1ST FLOOR HALLWAY - POLICE TOWN&lt;br /&gt;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
1st Floor Hallways(#5813R)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Welcome to the maze of hallways that compose floor one.  The floor is made of white black speckled tile and the ceiling of white asbestos fiberboard.  Fluorescent lights are placed every ten feet, hidden behind plastic maintenance covers.  There are fire sprinklers between each of the ceiling tiles that hold the lights.  You can also notice places where emergency bulkheads can come slamming down to secure the floor encase of emergencies.  These areas are marked on the floor with black and yellow striped emergency bars with the word &amp;quot;DANGER&amp;quot; written under the bars.  The walls are painted half blue, half beige in color.  Brown signs with white lettering help to direct you to the various places of interest on this floor.  There are signs that lead you to the detective offices, the bookings department, briefing rooms, the cafeteria and the elevators.  Also located in the maze are two offices side by side with gold plaques on them.  One reads, &amp;quot;Deputy Chief Rio Kinezono&amp;quot; while the other reads &amp;quot;Captain Sherry Charis.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

----------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A cute little red headed female officer comes down the hallway with a huge stack of papers.  &amp;quot;Chief!  The damage claims from that Angel thingie are in and-&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa groans. &amp;quot;I'm So glad I'm not on a desk&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Put it on my desk!  I'm out on duty!  I'll burn them in the fires of my rage when I get back!&amp;quot; She shot off as she walked by the girl who responded with a sharp, &amp;quot;YES MA'AM!&amp;quot;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio looks at Yuji as she walks and says, &amp;quot;If it is killer ninja Psychic death ponies you owe me dinner!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa grins. &amp;quot;But only if it's exactly that. if it's like Squid or something then you owe me&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Deal!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CUT TO: EXT. VEHICLE GARAGE - DAY&lt;br /&gt;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
You are standing in the underground vehicle garage.  This low ceiling concrete poured cavern is where all the police cruisers, HUMVEEs, APCs and patrol motorcycles are parked.  Steel reinforced concrete pillars give support for this place every ten feet. Fluorescent lights are attached to all four sides of each pillar to light up the garage to some degree.  A vehicle ramp leads up to the surface and has a two foot thick steel garage door than can close to secure this place from outside intrusions.  The door's status is controlled by a digital pad inside a tiny booth that is always manned by an officer.  In the opposite direction you can drive vehicles through an archway to the maintenance bay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[The security door is currently &amp;quot;open.&amp;quot;]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;You drive.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio tosses Yuji the keys to the patrol car.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa gets in and starts up the Thunderbird, reving it's high performance engine and making sure to turn on the undercarriage lights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio hops in herself and buckles up, adjusting the seat belt so it doesn't murder her big breasts.  She snags the CB ready mic and keys up, &amp;quot;Car...what car are we?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa looks at the id number on the dash. &amp;quot;54&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Not this car!  This car is evil!  UGH!&amp;quot;  She keys up again.  &amp;quot;Car 54, in route to NT General.&amp;quot; She let's off the mic nods to Yuji.  &amp;quot;Punch it Chewie.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa peals out, he's a very skilled driver but not necessarily a 'good' one. Instead he pushes his skill and the car's performance to the limits dodging and weaving through traffic with the lights on and siren blaring.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CUT TO:  KUWAMARU STREET - OUTSIDE NT GENERAL&lt;br /&gt;
----------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
The rather plain-faced building of the NeoTokyo General Hospital is built along this road, its sides painted with a large red cross. An interesting assortment of structures are situated along this road. Firmly embedded in the earth here is the Spirit Gate of Earth, one of five shrines like it situated throughout NeoTokyo.&lt;br /&gt;

-------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio looks at the maniac behind the wheel.  &amp;quot;Why are we Code 3?  Do you think the dead body is going to run away before we get there!?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa comes to a screaching halt at the hospital and just grins like an orthodontist commercial. &amp;quot;Only way to fly&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio feels the G-forces as the car comes to a halt from 60 to 0 in just a few seconds.  Her boobs bounce from the sudden stop.  Rio gave him a deadly glare.  &amp;quot;You are an idiot sometimes....&amp;quot;  She unfastened her seatbelt and got out of the car.  There were already other cars here, lights flashing every where.  Yep, the boys from Forensics were here already.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa nods as Rio notes the presence of CSU &amp;quot;Iris will probably be checking up on them&amp;quot; he doesn't answer the 'idiot' comment but he's still grinning over the drive. Yuji takes his fun where he can.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio slides her tonfu into it's holder and adjusts her uniform and then with a huffy sigh heads into the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CUT TO: INT. NEOTOKYO GENERAL HOSPITAL&lt;br /&gt;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
The main lobby of the NeoTokyo General Hospital opens before you, a wing of matching chairs and couches on either side of the room. Directly in front of the automatic doors that serve as an entrance and exit is the reception desk, an octagonal barrier of rose pink mica surrounding the built in desks. A door leading down a long hallway is on either side of the desk, one labeled &amp;quot;Emergency Room&amp;quot;, the other &amp;quot;Out Patients&amp;quot;. Beside the left waiting area are the metal doors of an elevator; near the right one is a set of stairs leading upwards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[Players : Anne_Saga(#13815XZ) (Puppet) ]&lt;br /&gt;
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
Yuji walks in from the street.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yuji has arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;I'm telling you.. there are going to be ghostly hove prints all over the room!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;I'll laugh if it's tentacle suckers.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Maaaaan this sucks so bad!  ARGH!  Damn it!  This suspect was like our last best hope for mankind!&amp;quot; She says in that movie narrator voice.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;I think the room is upstairs.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;I know where the room is dork!  I was here when the put her in the intensive care.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio slaps the button on the elevator and waits for it to come down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa Shrugs and follows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;So if Alice approves the dinner date.  Where are you taking me?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;There's a place in tokyo 3. out of our jurisdiction so nothing to put us back to work. Rooftop view of the city. snooty Maitre de. the works.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio brightens up a bit.  DING!  The elevator opens.  She walks as she says, &amp;quot;Oh!  You aren't an idiot!  I take it back!  Good thinking!  A quiet dinner is just what the doctor called for.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You step into the elevator.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa smiles and waits for the other shoe to drop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio slaps the button to get to the floor the now deceased suspect is on.  As the floors tick away Rio continues to the 20 questions about the hypothetical date night.  &amp;quot;So this place is a French restaurant?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;I think they try to cater to a number of cuisines.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Variety!  The spice of life!&amp;quot;  DING!  The elevator opens.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You step out onto the second floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yuji steps out of the elevator.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;all expensive though. I heard their morocan cherry sauce steak is to die for. and the choclate brownie well make dates go very well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
---------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
Iris_Kara(#14273PBC)&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara (or so her nametag claims) is wearing the 'Traditional' NTPD miniskirt and pushup vest. It is topped with a long sleeved tunic that descends nearly to the hem of her skirt. The tunic is trimmed the gold braid of an NTPD Captain. The bottle green outfit is visibly feminine, with a green micro-skirt and a white dress shirt with a scarlet cravat. Olive opaque tights and a pair of black dress shoes complete this outfit. She holds herself rather shyly, and would probably blush intensely if you noticed you scoping out the way the uniform flatters her legs and enhances her rather average bust. All in all she'd be quite pretty if it weren't for the way she constantly scrubs at her right eye, almost as if it was in pain&lt;br /&gt;
---------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Captain Kara.  How are things going here?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara has the whole floor cordoned off but you can tell which room has the body by the number of cops taking photos and running cotton swabs over the walls. She looks over at the chief and Yuji and scrubs at her right eye like she usually does when she's upset &amp;quot;Chief the whole world was in here trying to ressusitate her. I'm having to take disqualifying prints from half the staff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa waves casually to the Captain &amp;quot;Hey Iris&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Resuscitate?  How do you do that when the victim's throat has been slit from side to side?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;At least that's what Sergeant Biggles said happened.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara sighs exasperated,&amp;quot;Apparently the feel obliged to try. emergency bandages all over the wound, blood, More blood, pumped onto the walls by CPR .... It's untidy as hell&amp;quot; Untidy seems to be a swear word for the good captain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Ew.... do I even want to go into that room?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;I know I don't&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara shrugs &amp;quot;I'll have to get disqualifying prints and sample from you too. but you're free to investigate. You're the Chief.&amp;quot; She rubs her right eye again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;You okay?&amp;quot; She stares at Iris.  She totally forgot she rubs her eye.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara hmmms? &amp;quot;I'm ...fine. just a stress habit. Damn cyber eye gives me fidgets when I'm upset&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio patted Iris on the shoulder.  &amp;quot;Relax Captain.  This entire cast has been foobar from the beginning.  I kind of expected this to happen.  Maybe we need to get one of those crazy Psychic cops in here to sweep the place?  I mean, there is ZERO physical evidence of a break-in here Captain?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara throws up her hands &amp;quot;I don't know yet. there's too much evidence of CPR and panicked running around. So far though, no joy. The room is sealed there was a guard on the door. Regular suicide checks... This shouldn't have happened.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa Idly watches legs while pretending to listen. Kara's are nice too. Too bad she's DC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio walked over to the door to room 202 and peered around the edge and regretted it.  There was blood everywhere; on the ceiling, on the floor, on the walls and the white sheets of the bed were soaked red.  Rio forgot how much blood was in the human body but apparently every drop of it was no longer inside the suspect.  She quickly walked away from the door.  &amp;quot;Oh.. my.. God.... how do you guys deal with that stuff!?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara says, &amp;quot;With tweezers and UV usually.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa appears quite happy to stay where he is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;So... no break in.   The patient was fine one moment.. dead the next.  No sound from the room.   Did they sneak in through a vent like a bad action movie?&amp;quot;  There is no way as the vents are not HUGE gaping tunnels like Hollyweird always shows.  Just regular air vents.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;They'd need rope.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Iris_Kara pages, &amp;quot;is there anything CSU could have found? loose screws? elongated finger prints. Rope?&amp;quot; to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You page, &amp;quot;So far, jack and shit is there.  Not going to find any useable prints either.  Who ever did this was bad ass super pro.&amp;quot; to Iris_Kara.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Yuji thinks it was robot ninjas from another dimension.   I say it was magical ponies with shanks.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara sighs &amp;quot;No rope, rope fibres or anything of the sort. Vents are secure and the screws look like they've been untouched for years. Their HVAC system must be FULL of dust. No bridles or engine oil either. Whoever did this was like a ghost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa sneezes at the mention of dust.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Maybe it was a ghost.  Like I said, we need one of our clairvoyant officers in here maybe?  I mean I am totally freak'n out of answers!   Someone murdered this lady because they didn't want her to talk about the hit on Maggie Cheung I am pretty sure... if it was a hit.  Could have been a kidnapping too.  We just don't know!  ARGH!  I am going to start drinking!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara says, &amp;quot;Well if it's any help intelligence is going over comics manga and movies to see if there's any identifiable pattern. Of course intelligence has it's own worries. I need to talk to AMP about a rogue mage. I wish we had a clairvoyant. the only real edge we have in forensics is my cyber eye.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Man... freak'n AMP needs to get to hiring some people!   Hey!  Wait!  What about the Mage's Guild?  Don't they have like magic or something that can divine stuff?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara pauses &amp;quot;They...might. Mind you they're in a bit of tizzy over a rogue world ending mage. Who may or may not be in the city. Hence AMP.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;World ending mages...  Magic shanking ponies... Freddy Kruger nightmares in the hospital....  Captain, would you like to take over as chief?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara LaUGHS &amp;quot;Not on your life. I regret letting them put me in a green uniform as it is.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa goes back to admiring legs. So many officers in short NTPD issue skirts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Yuji...&amp;quot; she coughs.  This woman has pervert radar or something.  &amp;quot;Got make yourself useful and go question the two cops that were on the door when all this went down.&amp;quot;  The officers we're currently resting back against the wall looking really really bummed out that someone they were guarding has gotten whacked.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa sighs &amp;quot;Aye Aye Chief&amp;quot; and goes over to have a quiet confab with the two guards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;So Captain, it's been a while.  I mean.. not a while while.  I mean.. it's technically been 12 years since I talked to you with this whole crazy.. time what ever displacement thingie we all experienced.   Are you doing okay?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara nods &amp;quot; I guess. I regret accepting promotion but I'm coping with the workload. And well... what we do is worthwile&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa continues his sotto vocce conversation with the two guards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Hey.. do you really want to be out there having holes shot through your favorite skirt?&amp;quot; She grinned at the pretty robocop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara says, &amp;quot;Errr no. but I once had a less crowded desk.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa nods and gestures engaging the officers fully. somehow it looks like he's saying &amp;quot;It was THIS big&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Tell you what... anytime you feel overwhelmed.. you come to my office.. and look at my desk and then you won't feel so bad about your desk.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara says, &amp;quot;Snrrk. I told you a I didn't want your job.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;I know but if you see my suffering maybe your suffering won't be so bad!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa meanwhile has his log book out and is scribling notes. or maybe a quick sketch of something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You page, &amp;quot;They really don't have ANYTHING to give.   The lady was alive one minute when a nurse went in and came out.. Then about six minutes later, same nurse came back went in screamed bloody murder and the cops burst in and blood all over the place.&amp;quot; to Yuji.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa finally takes some more notes after showing the other two his doodle. and comes back to report. &amp;quot;Zip Zilch Nada...Niente&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara says, &amp;quot;You have a point. It's better than watching corporal for life Nariwasa whistle through his day.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio slaps Yuji on the shoulder as he walks up and heard that statement most likely.  &amp;quot;Ah, Yuji looooves his position.   He gets to stare at legs all day.. DON'T you Yuuuuji~?&amp;quot; She smirked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;actually I do like being a beat cop.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara says, &amp;quot;Just in case you've forgotten Yuji, not interested don't swing that way.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A vision of crimson red eyes appears before you, from which a reflection of Alice within catch! BITE! Oh god, finally free of obligations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Ooooooo!  Another sweet young thing taken off the table by the dark side of the Force.  Poor Yuji.&amp;quot;  Pats him on the back.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa sighs &amp;quot;Such is life. Anyhow yeah the guards didn't notice thing. one check and everything is fine a few minutes later the nurse goes in an all hell breaks loose. but no perp.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio sighed, spun around on her heel and fell back against the wall, folding her arms under chest and looking annoyed.  &amp;quot;Ghost Hunters!  Where are you!?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara says, &amp;quot;We're working on it. If there's ANYTHING we'll find it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara says, &amp;quot;I'm about ready to drill holes in the walls and take core samples.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Drilling in the walls?  What are you going to find drilling random holes in the walls?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara throws up her hands. &amp;quot;probably nothing but it's all I got left maybe there will be lingering radiation or chemical staining.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Radiation?  So a radioactive killer robot ninja magic shanking pony is now to blame for all this?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara says, &amp;quot;Well no hoofmarks some I'm willing to rule out ponies for the moment. Ponies? and well I'm grasping at straws here. Someone should have left SOMETHING behind. it's basic rule of forsenics.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Yeah.. but this is Neo-Tokyo captain... the city where Angels blow holes in the city, magic talking ponies are a thing and uber mages are trying to end the world.  I think someone could theoretically just teleport into the room, slice this woman a new one then teleport out.  That's why I want a goddamn AMP officer with powers to sweep the damn room but they're under staffed, out to lunch or on vacation!&amp;quot;  She hit her fist against the wall.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara says, &amp;quot;Well talk to AMP. they can only say no.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio picked up her CB mic off her left shoulder and keyed up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;Indeed The other Chief has got to have something?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Police&amp;gt; Rio says, &amp;quot;Dispatch. Do we have any AMP officers alive and able to respond to this 187 at the hospital, over?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Police&amp;gt; Chief this is Dispatch AMP officer en route to your location.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Police&amp;gt; Rio says, &amp;quot;Thank youuuuuuu~ Out!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Finally.  Jezzz.. remind me to send in a budget expansion request for the AMP to hire more officers!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You page, &amp;quot;PHTPTHPTHTP.. also.. I shrank both hands 10%.. NO MORE.&amp;quot; to Alice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Police&amp;gt; Officer Arisaka says, &amp;quot;Arisaka copies, Dispatch. Enroute to NT General.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Ah ha!   I totally forgot my girlf... er.. Alice is on the AMP varsity squad.  This should be good then!  She's good at her job.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;I suppose that's good.&amp;quot; and mutters something... it could have been cockblockula but might have just been a cough.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;I'll go meet and greet her.  Stay here with the captain and make sure no one else messes up the room more than it should be...&amp;quot; She slaps the elevator button and hops in once it arrives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CUT TO:  EXT. KUWAMARU STREET&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio walks out of the hospital and scans the area for the wayward AMP officer on call.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Police&amp;gt; Officer Arisaka says, &amp;quot;Arisaka is onsite at NT General. Over.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Arisaka is onside at NT General. Over,&amp;quot; said officer speaks into her radio, standing outside a police cruiser near a noisy bottle-green Thunderbolt. Turning her head towards the hospital entrance a short distance away, she spots a very familiar sight. Oh, well, well, now. Smiling a little amusedly at her luck, Alice starts making her way over towards her deputy chief who appears to be looking for someone...? She clears her throat, mostly at herself, one hand adjusting her glasses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio waves as she see's Alice getting out of her car and talking on her mic.  She had a mind to be a smart ass and reply on the radio even though Alice was in visual distance but she refrained for once.  Good girl Rio!  You can be a grown up for once!  &amp;quot;Officer Arisaka.  How nice of you to join us.  Glad to see the AMP could pull you out of their dusty closet and send over to us.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bottle Green Thunderbolt says, &amp;quot;PLEASE STEP AWAY FROM THE CAR&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka's look would have been so priceless, Rio would have had better had her phonecam out. Unless bodycams are already in place. Details! Nearly jumping in repeat surprise as the Thunderbolt repeats its proximity warning, very much out loud, she has half a mind to cite the owner. Ugh. &amp;quot;Thank you, Deputy Chief,&amp;quot; she nods once she's closed the distance, &amp;quot;How may I be of assistance?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Our suspect from the theater shoot out is up on the 20th floor with her throat sliced clean open.  Every once of blood she had is on the floor, wall or ceiling.  Foresincs can't seem to find their dick in the dark so... I asked if an AMP cop could spin by and give the room a once over.  I mean there is ZERO evidence of break in.  Or best theory right now is it's robotic ninja death shanking ponies from another dimension.&amp;quot; She stares at Alice dead serious... but... she can't keep a straight face and laughs and just slaps her on the shoulder and puts an arm around said shoulders and walks with her toward the hospital.  &amp;quot;Actually..  with no physical evidence we thought MMMMAYBE... just maybe magic was used?  Maybe someone teleported in and out again in the time span it took to kill this suspect.  All I know is they were silenced so they couldn't talk to us.   Think you can work some vodoo that you do and get SOMETHING for us?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka has about a good a poker face as one can be for the duration of her briefing. She only blinks once while she listens, and is a little surprised that forensics would be having so much trouble. Not to mention no signs of a breakin? She was about to say something, maybe even ask, but as the mood suddenly lightens, for the better she feels, she leans somewhat against Rio as she walks with her. &amp;quot;It's quite possible. Are there any other wounds on the victim? Signs of blood having exited from the mouth, nose, ears, or any orifices?&amp;quot; She then tilts her head, &amp;quot;Was this suspect not under guard? Or was is a completely silent, undetected kill?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio walks along with Alice, arm around her shoulder still.  &amp;quot;Two of our boys were on the door at all times.  Nurse went in to the room.  No problem.  Came back to the room six minutes later, screams bloody murder.  Cops bust in.  Bloody nightmare all over the place.  I ummmm....  I peaked in but bloody messes like this are not my thing.  It's nightmare fuel.   I think there is only one wound, the throat slash from what everyone has said.   I'll let you go look at the grizzly details.&amp;quot;  She slaps the elevator call button and waits.  &amp;quot;Other than that I got nothing else to give you.  Talk to Captain Kara upstairs for more.&amp;quot;  She gets into the elevator with Alice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You step into the elevator.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio pushes the 20th floor and waits for the door to slide closed then leans in to peck Alice on the cheek.  &amp;quot;Glad you are here.  I've missed you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka mms, thoughtful for most of the walk to the elevator. She thinks that she is going to have to look upon the crime scene for herself. She's going to need gloves, most likely. Nodding softly in acknowledgement as her being filled in concludes, she waits to step into the elevator, maintaining her composture, until the doors close. Smiling then as she squeezes an arm around Rio's waist she whispers, &amp;quot;I'm happy that we can work together, finally. I've missed you, too.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alice steps out onto the 2nd floor&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You step out onto the second floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio steps out after Alice into the floor that is bustling with police and forensics teams.  Standing in the hallway talking to some of her team is Captain Iris Kara.  Yuji is off paling it up with some other officers and checking out the nurses when they pass through.  The hospital still has to keep running.  The room is 2002 if one couldn't tell by the crime scene tape that had been strung up around the door but the threshold left open for officers to move back and forth.  &amp;quot;I'm sooooooo not going to go in there with you or else you will have to cuddle me to sleep like for nine weeks straight,&amp;quot; Rio grinned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka is at first a little taken aback by all the police activity. It reminds her of how suddenly she's been thrust back into her old life prior to the great collapse. Captain Kara would be the first person to ask any further questions, she agrees. She eyes Yuji in passing. Of course the wacky old lech would be here, ever on Rio's tail. She can't help but roll her eyes with a small degree of amusement at how much things have stayed the same. &amp;quot;It's okay,&amp;quot; she whispers aside to Rio, smiling rather confidently despite herself, mentally preparing herself for the nightmare scene waiting ahead, before stopping before Iris and straightening to salute, &amp;quot;AMP Officer Arisaka reporting in, Captain. Deputy Chief Kinezono has filled me in and I am here to assist with the investigation.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara turned from the two who was talking to and saluted the young vampire officer back.  &amp;quot;It's all yours.  We can't get any real evidence out of here.  The scene was pretty contaminated by all the medical people trying to save the suspects life but I think all they did was ruin what evidence we could have.  Deputy Chief seems to think maybe one of you AMP types can divine something from the crime scene.  Give it a go and let us all know if you found something.  Watch your step in there.  It's a pretty big mess.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka stands at attention while she listens, waiting for the Captain to finish before nodding quickly. &amp;quot;Will do, Captain,&amp;quot; she salutes before turning towards the room in question. Turning to Rio as she starts towards it, she asks, &amp;quot;How long has it been since our suspect was killed?&amp;quot; How long the victim has been dead is rather important to her, given her options. She takes in a long, deep breath, steeling herself for what she may be about to see. Stay calm, Alice. This is just like before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio held up two fingers.  &amp;quot;Two hours, give or take a few minutes.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka just about nearly blanches. Ugh, dead blood! She can already feel that this is going to be unpleasant. Swallowing deeply, she straighens once more, and at the threshold to room 2002, she turns to smile once more time at Rio before disappearing into the room and the horrors that lay within.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CUT TO:  ROOM 2002 - NT GENERAL&lt;br /&gt;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
This is one of the hospital rooms in the hospital. Just like outside, the walls are painted white, the air smells of antiseptics, and the floor is clean. There is a large hospital bed, complete with electronic controls. Two couches, one table, a television set, a really small kitchen, and a refrigerator are also present. There is also a door leading to the lavatory.&lt;br /&gt;
[Exits   : (O)ut(#6329E) ]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Players : Alice(#13238PC) ]&lt;br /&gt;
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
A team is busy drilling a core sample out of the sheetrock wall near the bed.  There is one female victim in the hospital bed.  She is Chinese, no overly unpleasant about the face if it wasn't for the fact that it was pale white, drained of almost all color with the loss of blood and death having set in for two hours.  Her throat has neatly cut slice that is deep.  The white sheet of the bed are a sticky gore red now.  Blood has pooled on the floor and more of it is slung up the walls and to the ceiling.  Perhaps from a single blade swipe probably comes to mind given your skill with a katana.  There appears to be no broken windows and the air vents are far to small for any normal person to get into the room from.  The victim's eyes are closed which suggests they died in their sleep perhaps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka's eyes vanish behind the ghastly reflection off her glasses for a moment, with a hand involuntarily cupping over her mouth as she takes the scene in. Perhaps it's a good thing that they did, lest someone really see just how horrified she is, but only for that moment. Taking in another slow, deep breath, this time to purposefully take in the room's scent, ugly or no, her eyes dart from the victim, to the ceiling and floors, then to each wall. Returning to the stiff, they focus on her throat wound and she steps closer. By the looks of all the blood present, it does mean to her that it was no joke that the victim may have been competely drained. Not to mention that it would not be kosher of her to simply grab the dead woman and sink her teeth into her. Instead, she turns to ask someone for a vial. A vial and an eyedropper. She looks upon the blood pooling on the floor. Blood, yes, that is what she needs. She is so not looking forward to it, but it is exactly what she needs at this moment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the scientists in the room looks at Alice with a weird expression then hands her one of the vials of the crimson ichor.  &amp;quot;Here you are.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka hmms, an eyebrow raised as there is a sample already at her disposal. She does hope they're not going to need it again anytime soon, because... besides, they can gather more, with how abundant it seems to be. The smell, though. &amp;quot;Thank you,&amp;quot; she nods to them before holding the vial up in front of her face, slowly rolling it between her fingers. What secrets might this person's essence divulge, she wonders. There is so little blood, but she knows that she can collect more. Well, then, realizing that there is no use in stalling, as this isn't getting any fresher, she quickly uncaps the vial, and bracing herself, it's down the hatch in one quick shot! Urgh! She can even feel herself go pale, clapping her hand over her mouth again as she fights the desperate gag reflex, crouching down to collect more from the nearest pool to refill the vial. Ugh!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lady who gave Alice the vial stares wide eyed as the vampire downs the dead cocktail in one gulp.  She looks like she's going to be sick to and quickly gets up and runs out of the room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka shudders, squeezing her eyes shut at just how. Bloody. Disgusting. this is. She's going to be so very sick, she knows. It's better to get it over with! Need more essence! Need more blood. And here comes a second shot. Slam!! This one she very nearly coughs out, but manages to force it in. Gasping raggedly for breath, she fills the vial once again and downs a third, choking after it goes down, and her body shudders for a moment before she has stop to really try and catch her breath, tears beginning to stream down her eyes by now. A little more, just a little more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The memories start to come in finally, played back in reverse sequence at flashback speed; Surgery, the ride in the ICU ambulance, Hellboy beating the ever living crap out of her with those big rock fists of his, the shooting, the sound of rounds hitting the chopper, more shooting, the in route flight with the men on board preparing, radio chatter in Chinese (which can be given to you if you speak Chinese), loading up on helicopter pad on the back of a ship at sea, more chatter in Chinese as the crew and the shooters load up...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka doubles over, her eyes flying open, and she gags loudly. This... is not something that she is used to. Oh, if only this blood could have been fresh. She hopes that, next time, they will call her sooner! Coughing blood into her hand, her vision a blurry haze, she flumbles a little with the vial to scoop up another shot, and down that one goes. Then another. And another! More! The more blood, the more power. She feels truly, horribly sick, now, and she would be happier with the respite offered as she becomes able to see, to play out the victim's memories. Oh. Joy. Chinese!! She is briefly, very briefly thankful that it's at least a language that she speaks! While she did not know a lick of Chinese before this whole world caved in on itself, that changed over the decade she had lived in Metropolis. Mostly Cantonese, but still with a generous amount of Mandarin, all thanks to her teammates from that time. It's enough to drive her to collect and down another shot, then another, then she doubles over again. No, Alice, don't throw up. Don't throw it up! Contain!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;We're taking to much fire!  Aborting!&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;The Devil is in my chopper!  HELP!  NO!&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;Roger that, our ETA is 5 minutes to the zone Lockbox.  Don't move until we're in position!&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;Let's go!  Mister X wants the girl by the end of the evening or else we don't get paid!  Chopper is firing up in two and we are out in 5!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only a few more flashbacks come in reverse sequence; Gun range, weapons training, running, PT courses, a medical room, lights shined in the eyes.  &amp;quot;Do you know who you are?&amp;quot; the doctor says.  Head shake, NO.  &amp;quot;Good.  You are who you say we are.  She's ready for programming.  Take her to room 2.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After that.. darkness... nothing more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka's hand trembles as she fumbles to fill the vial once more, but she can't. The vial falls out from between her fingers and she claps both hands tighly over her mouth, squeezing tearful eyes shut, and she rocks in place, crouched down where she is. Focus. That is all she can do, now, focus. She's managed to keep it all down, and she'd be more surprised at this amazing feat of hers if she didn't feel the room spinning. She needs blood, fresh blood. No, she needs... she doesn't know what she needs. She just needs to leave this room, and as the memories flood with darkness, she can feel it enveloping it, as well. Losing her grip on herself for a moment and coughing up blood into her hands, she gasps again for breath and holds up one hand to any remaining staff in a weak attempt to assure them that, yes, she's alright. Liar. No, not yet, the darkness can't take her yet. She needs to get out of here. She stumbles out of the room, thankfully managing to not knock anything or anyone over. Maybe she'll pat herself on the back later for holding together this well. Maybe when she feels not so utterly sick. Maybe after she has reported her findings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CUT TO: 20TH FLOOR - NT GENERAL&lt;br /&gt;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
This is the 20th floor of the hopital.   There are doors into the patient's rooms on either side of the hallway.&lt;br /&gt;
[Exits   : (Stairs)(#1978E), (203)(#5947E), (202)(#6404E), (201)(#6491E), and &amp;lt;E&amp;gt;levator(#1979E) ]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Things  : None ]&lt;br /&gt;
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
Alice has arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio watches Alice stumble out of the room with blood all over her hands from where she spit up the bad blood.  That seriously makes Rio freak out because it looks like Alice had been shot or stabbed!  She ran over and put an arm around her!  &amp;quot;Alice!?  Are you okay?  You are coughing up blood!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka is suddenly so very glad to have someone to lean on, for the support. It is so very welcome, now! ...except she doesn't want to get any of that stuff on her. Any idea just how hard it is to get this stuff off!? Nodding her head vigorously, more than she thought she could, she immediately regrets it as her vision tunnels. Oh no, no no no no! Not yet, Arisaka! &amp;quot;Rio!&amp;quot; she sputters, covering her mouth still, having gotten dark red droplets all over her own uniform anyway, &amp;quot;She was a puppet.&amp;quot; Her shoulders jerk and tears force themselves out of her eyes with a pretty fierce gag. &amp;quot;Brainwashed!&amp;quot; she gasps, leaning a little heavier for support, &amp;quot;Mentally reconditioned... programmed. They were hired by a Mister X.&amp;quot; Yes, for all the good that tidbit does. Any Mister Big can call himself Mister X! Well, she still has visual memory to work from later for composite sketches and such. The ship they set out from! &amp;quot;Their base was a ship out at sea..&amp;quot; her voice becomes more ragged, &amp;quot;...all... Chinese..&amp;quot; She grips Rio's shoulder, forgetting that she didn't want to stain her uniform, and she gasps, her eyes beginning to roll into the back of her head, &amp;quot;...bathroom...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You offer to carry Alice. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio grabs Alice and helps walk her to the woman's bathroom.  &amp;quot;Out of the way!  Emergency coming through!  Move!&amp;quot; Rio always gets hyper protective of the one she loves when she's hurt or in danger.  She doesn't care about her shoulder and vest getting blood on it... well she does... but now is not the time to cry about it!  Her girl is in need!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alice scrambles up on you. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio takes Alice into the next door room that has no patient in it and takes her to the bathroom so she can upchuck as need, rubbing her back to comfort her.  &amp;quot;Come on baby...  jezzz what a mess honey...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The world is more or less nothing but a blur. Lestat might have thought he had it bad when he was tricked into drinking some of that dead blood, but oh boy does he have nothing on this vampire! Very nearly losing her footing plenty of times, stumbling outright as the bathroom smells assault her nose, she feels for the telltale bowl shape of the Deity of Porcelain. The Good Lord of Puke. She can't see anymore, she is deathly pale, and are those veins showing? They.. they're the wrong kinds of veins, and the wrong kind of color! Well, maybe it's because she looks about as white as the woman she just fed from. Maybe it's contagious! Collapsing on her knees, she gags loudly a few times, wincing in pain with every contracting of her abdomen, and she slams a hand against the wall of the stall. Which falls right over. Oops. &amp;quot;Fresh....&amp;quot; her voice is thin, hoarse, &amp;quot;...fresh...&amp;quot; and her body convulses, &amp;quot;...blood....&amp;quot; before her eyes roll back into her head completely and somebody better catch her because it's Ragdoll Time!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Ah baby!&amp;quot;  Rio slaps her face gently to try to wake her up.  Damn it!  Crazy vampire drinking dead blood!   Well there wasn't anything to do for it now but what she had done in the past.  She cradled Alice gently in her arms and pulled Alice's head up to rest on Rio's shoulder, putting Alice's face in the crook of Rio's neck where she could sense that pumping fresh blood in the blonde's neck.  Instict would take over most likely but ohhhhhhhh this was going to suck both figuratively and literally for Rio.  When Alice was this in need it usually meant a large donation to the vampire blood bank and lights out for the mortal girl.  &amp;quot;Come on baby... wake up.  You have a nice meal waiting for you...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka's breaths, forcefully steady, and the way that her eyes drift shut, can only mean that she has thankfully not completely slipped away. Even though she doesn't seem to respond to the initial smackings, it becomes more and more obvious that she is still here, by how her breaths become more even. So ill, so very ill. She can't believe she was able to hold it all down. She's absorbed it, all of it, and the woman's essence with it. All that blood. She can smell blood. Fresh blood. It smells so familiar, so good. Her senses tell her where she is. Her head shakes just a little to brush her nose against that familiar neck. She understands the sentiment, and she can't help but smile, even if it's as painedly as it is. &amp;quot;...it's okay...&amp;quot; she whispers, &amp;quot;....packet's good..&amp;quot; The passing of the years has also meant that she has since gained a firmer control of her bloodlust, thankfully.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Oh please.. that cheap drug store rip off stuff?  Come on.. you can take some just don't take all of it!  I gotta stay on my feet.  Once you get enough then you can go get blood packets if you need them.  I'm not going to leave you laying on the floor here while I go get a Caprice Sun blood drink for you.  Now come on.  Drink!&amp;quot;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka's body feels like it's tightening up on itself, and she winces quite profusely at... something. Something, but it must have hurt. It hurt so much that her mouth went wide open, glistening fangs baring in their full, sharp, pointy glory. &amp;quot;Ahh.. hahh..&amp;quot; her breaths come. She can't argue with the Chief, she can't debate the finer points of blood quality when she is in such need. Besides, this is a fresh as it gets, and she did call for fresh blood. She walked right into that one, or rather, stumbled. Rio need say no more! Those fangs find their mark to plunge right into that thick, plump, throbbing jugular. She can feel the pumping flow even before she bites in, and it's all the more delicious now. Still, she drinks in a slow, controlled manner, and has by now forgotten just how messy her hands are and EW it's going to be a bitch to get out of her hair because that is exactly where her hand goes. To cradle the back of Rio's head and get yucky dead blood all in her hair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio is far more concerned with the sharp double stabs of pain as she's punctured like a fruit drink box and fed on.  The blood in her blonde hair will have to be worried about AFTER the crisis is over.  She squeezes Alice's hand hard at the initial bite pain and shivers and shudders but as the vampire does what she does Rio calms down and completely relaxes in a semi drunken state as she's drained of the red go-go juice.  Ugh.. the dry cleaning on the uniform is going to cost even more money she doesn't have to spend.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka, for the time being, focuses on one thing and one thing alone. How much blood she is drawing out. After all this time, she's got it down to an absolute art, how much is too much and how much leaves a willing donor able to do what. In this case, her willing donor wants to be able to walk out of here, so it doesn't take her long to taper off on the sucky sucky, although she can't really do much about the, ahem, paralyzing effects of her saliva. Still! This ride is over, please watch your head and make sure you are not forgetting any personal belongings. Sealing the wounds with a long, soft kiss on that slender neck, she still feels awful, so very very awful, but this is progress. &amp;quot;Thank you,&amp;quot; she whispers, her breaths a little softer, at least. What a messy job and she hopes that she never has to do this ever again, but a job's a job.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio remains sitting up against the wall with Alice cradled in her arms.  The two look like they were part of a mass murder pact, covered in blood.  How does that crap get everywhere so damn fast!?   Rio smiles at Alice and nods a little groggily as the paralysis venom is going to take a bit to get out of her system.   &amp;quot;No.. problem pretty vampire princess... no problem at all....&amp;quot; She stares into Alice's red eyes.  &amp;quot;You are an amazing creature.. thank you for helping us out.  It's not much but it's more than we would have gotten any other way.  Maybe when you feel better you can get more detail out of what you saw with whatever you did in there.  I am pretty sure going on Mister X is going to yield jack and shit....&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka closes her eyes, deciding that trying to get up will not be a very good idea. At all. So, therefore, she is going to lean against Rio for the time being. It must be such a comically tragic sight. Horrifying! Yes, this is going to take f o r e v e r to get off. Well, at least one girl in this room is good with money. Very good with money! So good that she'll be the one shouldering the bills on these. Her eyes, as they open back up, are glassy and somewhat vacant, but at least they show no indication that she is blind. Well, everything is such a blur, still, but that should go away. &amp;quot;I'll have,&amp;quot; she whispers, her voice softening. It seems to be easier when she speaks softly, &amp;quot;a full report. When I am better.&amp;quot; She had also figured as much, regarding this Mister X. If she has more information in those memories regarding that ship that those commandoes were based out of. A name, location.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio kissed the top of Alice's head and snuggled her cheek into the blackness.  &amp;quot;You dork.. don't go poisoning yourself like this.... if I had known.. I'd of told you heck no....&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka just... can't help but be amused, and thankful at such concern. After all, she was just doing her job, as her abilities allowed her. &amp;quot;Sorry,&amp;quot; her features soften, almost into a smile. Almost. &amp;quot;There was no other way.&amp;quot; Maybe AMP should stand for Alice Might Puke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Can you stand yet?  I think I can?  Don't need anyone coming on to our murder scene here...&amp;quot; she chuckles.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka knows for sure that she is going to likely pass out if she tries to stand. &amp;quot;I don't think I can,&amp;quot; she shakes her head, though she's made pretty sure that Chief Sexy here should be able to, still. Oh, this blood poisoning might take a while to get over and she is already having so many regrets because she feels so miserable and she is going to feel this way for a long while, isn't she. They seriously need a proper medium in the division, ugh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Do you want me to get you on a stretcher and get you out of here or at least get you to the bed?  I think I can manage that and you can just lay here and recover.  I don't what you did that had you coughing up but blood but that is going to be nightmare fuel for a while now for me.. you scared the crap out of me!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio managed to slowly get up.  She wasn't THAT down on pints and with a little effort, scoped up the light weight vampire girl and picked her up with a little grunt of an effort and carried her out of the bathroom and laid her on the bed in the room then sat down with a heavy bounce on the edge like she was exhausted herself.  &amp;quot;You going to be okay, right?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka does think it would be for the better that she not be left in the bathroom, with a knocked over stall wall. Oops on that one! Deciding not to debate on that particular bit, she nods her head slowly, being very much okay with being... not here. Anywhere but collapsed by a toiled all bloody. She's pretty sure that she's alarmed a lot of people, but that's AMP sometimes. Thank goodness that she is pretty lightweight. Well, except for those two. Those two! Two! &amp;quot;Sorry,&amp;quot; she whispers, smiling a little embarrassed at the thought of having scared Rio. Finding herself laid out proper before long, she can only ask of two things right away, &amp;quot;..need more blood. Packs are okay,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;...please make sure blinds are shut all the way.&amp;quot; Mm, yes, unfiltered sunlight in particular would do her no favors, right now. &amp;quot;I will be okay.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio nods and leans down to peck Alice on the cheek then stands up a little wobbly and heads out of the room to find blood.  You would THINK in a hospital that would be easy but it takes her a good 30 minutes before she comes back in victorious.  She closes the door to the room then sets the ice chest blood keeper near Alice.  She moves over to turn all the blinds closed and to draw the heavy curtains closed as well.. and then... screw it... she crawls into the bed with Alice and lays her head down on the pillow.  It's sleepy Chief time.  What a day... ugh... tired...  she'll like Alice get the blood.. It's within reach.  &amp;quot;There....&amp;quot; she whispers and then gets comfy and just passes out like a candle flame snuffed out...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Title    = BGC: Reunited&lt;br /&gt;
|Summary = Priss meets back up with Sylia after being apart for a long time.&lt;br /&gt;
|Who     = [[Priss]], [[Sylia]]&lt;br /&gt;
|Date    = June 1st, 2016&lt;br /&gt;
|Where   = Sylia's Penthouse&lt;br /&gt;
|Log=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
INT. ELEVATOR - LADY 633 LINGERIE SHOP - NIGHT&lt;br /&gt;
----------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
A large circular glass elevator that can easily hold 15 people. It's glass is kept remarkably clean, the floor tiled to match the lobby, and gentle lighting coming from teh ceiling. The interior facing section is perfectly clear, while the outward facking section is auto tinted according to light and season, offering one a view of both inside and outside the building with ease.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Exits   : (P)enthouse - Private(#14363EC), (2)nd Floor - Food Court and Eateries, and (G)round Floor, Lobby ]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Things  : None ]&lt;br /&gt;
---------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss walked up to the door of the elevator she knew all to well and called it with a press of the only button on the control panel.  With a ding it opened and she walked inside the glass enclosure.  It had been a while since she'd seen the person on the other side of the elevator door on the 2nd floor... if they were even home.  She probably should have called first but that would ruin the surprise wouldn't it?  She took a hand out of her pocket and pushed the penthouse floor button then stuffed her hand back in her jacket and backed up against the glass wall across from the elevator door, crossing her feet at the ankles as she waited for it to move.. if it would move.  She knew the security system was scanning her for clearence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss sighed as the elevator started to move as it recognized her even after all this time.  Slowly it climbed to the penthouse then dinged as it came to rest on the floor and then opened allowing the rocker entry into her old friend's place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss says, &amp;quot;Well at least she didn't erase me out of the database.&amp;quot;  Priss walked off the elevator and into the penthouse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sylia is in the penthouse, taking plastic wrap off of the furniture and folding it up, as it looks as if the space hasn't been used in a while. She looks up as the elevator opens and closes behind you &amp;quot;Hello Priss&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss stepped out of the elevator as the doors opened for her.  She was happy she hadn't been removed from the authorized access list.  It had been a long while since she'd last talked to Sylia.  She was wondering if Sylia was home still but that question is answered quickly as she is greeted by the one she had come to see... and why was everything covered in plastic wrap?   &amp;quot;Uh.... hey...&amp;quot; she says with a little bit of puzzled wonderment.  &amp;quot;Long time no see.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sylia nods. &amp;quot;How was your trip?&amp;quot; she says in that way that tells you she was aware you were away. She finishes folding the wrap that was on the couch and goes to the kitchen, which is tidy and neat, and gets some tea for herself and a soda for you, motioning to the couch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss knows Sylia knows because she left her a hand written note the day she walked off explaining why and where she was going.  Soul searching and all that business.  &amp;quot;Eh.  It wasn't fun and games but it did what I needed it to do.  Clear my head.  How have you been?  Sorry about not talking or e-mailing or anything.  You know.. busy and things.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sylia smiles.  &amp;quot;That and you tend to frequent places that sometimes have no public access to the net.&amp;quot; as she sits and crosses her legs &amp;quot;I was out of town for a few months myself, got back a few days ago.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss nodded and looked around the place, hands still in her pockets.  &amp;quot;Love the new look.  Very retro plastic like.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sylia smirks &amp;quot;Was easier than having to dust the furniture or hire a cleaning service.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss says, &amp;quot;Suppose so...  how are the others doing?&amp;quot; She leans against the wall, not wanting to sit on dusty plastic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sylia is sitting on the couch, as she just took the plastic off it &amp;quot;Haven't heard from Linna or Nene in some time. Mackie is off enjoying being an almost Adult. The peace has been somewhat enjoyable actually&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Knock on wood when you say that,&amp;quot; Priss smirked.   &amp;quot;Well just how needed are the Knights in a city where regular human beings punch holes through buildings?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sylia smirks &amp;quot;Remember, we don't always go around blowing holes in things.&amp;quot; as she takes a sip of her Tea &amp;quot;fewer jobs, but some none the less, mostly information gathering. Besides, our arsenal was always more geared around boomers than anything more generalized.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sylia looks out the window &amp;quot;The suits are still here, the slaves are still maintained, the truck is kept gassed, just in case. Even made a few changes to the Star.  Sorry, it's now my ride...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss shrugs.  &amp;quot;My bike is more than fine for me.   Well.. the good news is, I didn't put on any weight so my butt should fit in the hardsuit still.   And the boomer business must be a little lacking lately with things like those EVAs and Angels in town.  I saw the news the other day before I got on the plane to come home.  Wasn't quite sure if I wanted to come back after seeing that crap.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sylia says, &amp;quot;Impressive on the scale yes, but not very discrete.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sylia smiles &amp;quot;Besides, I know the speed freak in you would be bored with the updated Star anyways.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss says, &amp;quot; Faster, Stronger, Better~&amp;quot; She smiles as she sings a little Daft Punk.  &amp;quot;Well, glad you didn't disown me.  It was kind of shitty of me to run out on you like that.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sylia just shakes her head &amp;quot;We are family. Everyone has a point they need to re-evaluate thier lives. I've been there, you went there, everyone will. We weren't in dire straits, no one's life was on a limb, and you at least wrote a note this time, and didn't just take your suit and motoslave.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss says, &amp;quot;I am not that much of an asshole.&amp;quot; She pauses then nods.  &amp;quot;Well.. I am... but just not to you guys.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss thinks again.  &amp;quot;Well you and Linna...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sylia giggles &amp;quot;One of these days you will push to far and find out what does really happen when you piss off a female green eyed read headed russian who is one of the best hackers in the workd and works for law enforcement....&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss pshhess!  &amp;quot;Whatever... I'll just say she gained ten pounds and it is showing in the middle and she'll fall apart.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sylia just smiles &amp;quot;We'll see....some of us do mature a little as we age Priss.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss smirked and said, &amp;quot;Yeah like old shoe leather.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sylia says, &amp;quot;Are you impling something about me as well wtih that remark?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss smirked and pulled her hands from her pockets to wave them in front of her defensively.  &amp;quot;Hey!  You're a tough old bird but not leathery!   You'd never look good in lingerie again!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sylia just gives you a brief, but very deliberate stare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss says, &amp;quot;Glad to see your sense of humor is still intact.&amp;quot;  She pushes off the wall and walks toward the kitchen.  &amp;quot;Do you have anything to drink in the cave of wonders?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sylia points to the counter where there is a soda for you.  &amp;quot;No beer though.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss says, &amp;quot;Had enough beer for the day.&amp;quot; She picked up a soda and cracked it open and takes a few swallows.  &amp;quot;So where did you run off to that you had to cover everything in plastic?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sylia smiles &amp;quot;Paris, Italy, New York, a few weeks in London, Switzerland, and a few other places.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss groaned, &amp;quot;Don't rub it in.  Gezzzzz..  Rich brat...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sylia says, &amp;quot;It has nothing to do with that Priss....you do recall I run a shop downstairs? A clothing shop?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss took another drink and nodded.  &amp;quot;Yeah.  I didn't lose my memory.  Shopping for new products or something?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sylia nods &amp;quot;New lines every season, new looks, have to see what is needed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss took another drink and added another nod.  &amp;quot;Yeah, I guess I forget you sometimes have a real business to maintain when not breaking boomers.  I didn't think we'd be rolling around in vigilante requests so I did some stuff while I was away too... mainly, picked up a new talent agent who is promising me some good stuff in the near future.  Might actually get out of the club and on to a real stage.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sylia nods, &amp;quot;Although a stage is a stage. Some of the better nigtlife music when I was traveling was in small bars, very far away from larger, 'reputable' stages and performace halls.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss says, &amp;quot;Yeah well.. I've done all that.  I want the big time.  I want to be center stage packing in fifty thousand in a mega performance hall with my music so loud they can hear me in outer space!   You'll be front row on that day, right?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sylia says, &amp;quot;Or backstage, either way prolly with a set of earplugs, but I will be there.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss gives Sylia a 'Eff You' glare.  &amp;quot;As if.  My music owns this city.  Don't be jealous.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sylia says, &amp;quot;I'm not. But at 120+ decibels, hearing protection is needed. Not for the music, it's fine, just the raw volume.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss chuckled.  &amp;quot;Well.. they like it loud and proud.&amp;quot;  She finished off the soda and crumpled up the can, looking for the trash or recycle bin.  &amp;quot;Mind if I take a look at the old suit?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sylia says, &amp;quot;The lab is still on lockdown, sorry.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss says, &amp;quot;Lockdown?  Something happen?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sylia says, &amp;quot;Priss, I was out of the country for over 2 months. You think I'm going to leave it in a state where someone might find it?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss says, &amp;quot;Right, duh.  Stupid me.  Sorry.  So.. need any help around here getting things set back up?  I got some free time on my hands and I don't really feel like going back to the mobile home at the moment.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sylia hehs &amp;quot;No, I'm just idly getting things uncovered inbetween running the shop.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss says, &amp;quot;Well I have two hands and I'm smart enough to take plastic off shit.  But if you don't want me helping so be it...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sylia says, &amp;quot;If you want, fine, but it's not neecessary.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss nods and does start helping.  She doesn't really say much more while removing plastic unless Sylia talks to her, focusing her mind on doing something constructive.  Towards the end when the living room is devoid of  further plastic she asks, &amp;quot;Do you mind.. if I crash here tonight?   Like I said.. kind of don't want to go home right now.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Of course, you can use the couch here.  I'll unpack some blankets and a pillow for you,&amp;quot; Sylia says as she rises to go do just that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss nodded and sat down on the couch and laid back, staring up at the ceiling, arms spread across the back of the couch.  Day two back in the city.  One friend located... two more to go.&lt;br /&gt;

|Name={{PAGENAME}}&lt;br /&gt;
|Series=Bubblegum Crisis&lt;br /&gt;
|Class=Rockstar Vigilante&lt;br /&gt;
|Alignment=Chaotic Good&lt;br /&gt;
|Gender=Female&lt;br /&gt;
|Species=Human&lt;br /&gt;
|Age=20&lt;br /&gt;
|Birthdate=April 3rd, 2013&lt;br /&gt;
|Height=5'8&lt;br /&gt;
|Weight=120 lbs.&lt;br /&gt;
|Short=A picture is worth a thousand words.  That's code for Lazy Writer!  Just... look to the right okay!  ----&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|Desc=&lt;br /&gt;
    You look upon a young Japanese woman, probably in her late teens or early twenties.  She has an attractive face without being overly glamourous.  She has reddish-brown almond shaped eyes with thick lashes but thin eyebrows that arch gently above.  A small straight nose and small pair of lips complete her features, all proportioned and spaced in that way that defines beauty.  Her hair is a thick pile of brown that cascades down in straight lengths that touch the small of her back. The bangs have been teased into a full inward curling package with shoulder length cat-tails the drape in front of her exposed pierced ears.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She stands at five foot, eight inches and her body is fit without being ripped with muscles. If you had to guess her weight you'd peg her at around one hundred twenty pounds. Most of her height is owed to her longer legs. Her skin is a healthy peach color with the usual little imperfections. If you look closely you can make out a few nicks and scars on her arms and another on her left leg if she isn't wearing pants. This suggests she's a rough and tumble kind of girl or perhaps she was in an accident when she was younger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Right now she is suited up in a red biker's racing jacket with reinforced shoulder and elbow pads. The leather on the arms is colored black on top but red on the bottom, giving it the two tone split. The jacket can be button closed but she's chosen to leave it wide open to show off the form fitting blue undershirt with the white collar. Her breasts aren't big but they aren't small either, more than enough to push out the front of her shirt attractively. A white belt with a silver buckle keeps the lower part of the jacket together but it has been left unfastened. On her hips and legs she wears a pair of super skin tight leather pants that show off her womanly curves. There is no belt on the pants as they stay attached to her body by the pure squeeze factor of the tight fit.  Red biker boots with black soles cover her feet, held securely by the series of velcro straps that go across the top of the foot and up the calves of the boot. On her hands are red racing gloves with white palms. The knuckles have been reinforced to keep her hands protected while rocketing down the highway or when she has to deck a jackass.&lt;br /&gt;

==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priscilla &amp;quot;Priss&amp;quot; S. Asagiri is the moody and defiant 19-year-old member of the Knight Sabers, fighting boomers with ferocious abandon in her slick dark blue Hard Suit, which features a railgun in the right hand as well as a laser gun in the original series and her signature knuckle bombers (explosive charges in both hands of her hard suit) in both series; in the Bubblegum Crash series the suit becomes a modular core system to which a variety of selective heavy weapons can be attached. In the Crisis series, her Hard Suit also combines with her Motoslave (a motorcycle that transforms into an automated mecha or an exosuit) to combat more-advanced Boomers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In both Crisis and Crash, Priss is a rock singer as well as a motorcyclist with a love/hate relationship with AD Policeman Leon McNichol. She is an orphan of the 2025 Kantō earthquake, who joined a biker gang. After her boyfriend was killed and his death declared insignificant by the police (hence her dislike for the law enforcement), she attempted to hunt down the killers, but she was recruited into the Sabers instead. Priss' rebellious streak is tempered by a good heart and sense of humor, which may explain her ability to function in Sylia Stingray's demanding and disciplined operation. She essentially serves as the hammer of the outfit—as opposed to Sylia's leadership and genius, Nene's tech wizardry, and Linna's sleek athletic precision.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss was voiced by rock singer Kinuko Ohmori in Bubblegum Crisis but after the series was cancelled she decided to focus full-time on her recording career and thus J-pop singer Ryoko Tachikawa took over the role in Bubblegum Crash. In English, she is voiced by Sinda Nichols normally while the English singing voice is done by Joyce Leigh Bowden in the original series, with Yuu Asakawa and Christine Auten in the 2040 series.&lt;br /&gt;

    You look upon a young Japanese woman, probably in her late teens or early twenties.  She has an attractive face without being overly glamourous.  She has reddish-brown almond shaped eyes with thick lashes but thin eyebrows that arch gently above.  A small straight nose and small pair of lips complete her features, all proportioned and spaced in that way that defines beauty.  Her hair is a thick pile of brown that cascades down in straight lengths that touch the small of her back. The bangs have been teased into a full inward curling package with shoulder length cat-tails the drape in front of her exposed pierced ears.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She stands at five foot, eight inches and her body is fit without being ripped with muscles. If you had to guess her weight you'd peg her at around one hundred twenty pounds. Most of her height is owed to her longer legs. Her skin is a healthy peach color with the usual little imperfections. If you look closely you can make out a few nicks and scars on her arms and another on her left leg if she isn't wearing pants. This suggests she's a rough and tumble kind of girl or perhaps she was in an accident when she was younger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Right now she is suited up in a red biker's racing jacket with reinforced shoulder and elbow pads. The leather on the arms is colored black on top but red on the bottom, giving it the two tone split. The jacket can be button closed but she's chosen to leave it wide open to show off the form fitting blue undershirt with the white collar. Her breasts aren't big but they aren't small either, more than enough to push out the front of her shirt attractively. A white belt with a silver buckle keeps the lower part of the jacket together but it has been left unfastened. On her hips and legs she wears a pair of super skin tight leather pants that show off her womanly curves. There is no belt on the pants as they stay attached to her body by the pure squeeze factor of the tight fit.  Red biker boots with black soles cover her feet, held securely by the series of velcro straps that go across the top of the foot and up the calves of the boot. On her hands are red racing gloves with white palms. The knuckles have been reinforced to keep her hands protected while rocketing down the highway or when she has to deck a jackass.&lt;br /&gt;

==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priscilla &amp;quot;Priss&amp;quot; S. Asagiri is the moody and defiant 19-year-old member of the Knight Sabers, fighting boomers with ferocious abandon in her slick dark blue Hard Suit, which features a railgun in the right hand as well as a laser gun in the original series and her signature knuckle bombers (explosive charges in both hands of her hard suit) in both series; in the Bubblegum Crash series the suit becomes a modular core system to which a variety of selective heavy weapons can be attached. In the Crisis series, her Hard Suit also combines with her Motoslave (a motorcycle that transforms into an automated mecha or an exosuit) to combat more-advanced Boomers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In both Crisis and Crash, Priss is a rock singer as well as a motorcyclist with a love/hate relationship with AD Policeman Leon McNichol. She is an orphan of the 2025 Kantō earthquake, who joined a biker gang. After her boyfriend was killed and his death declared insignificant by the police (hence her dislike for the law enforcement), she attempted to hunt down the killers, but she was recruited into the Sabers instead. Priss' rebellious streak is tempered by a good heart and sense of humor, which may explain her ability to function in Sylia Stingray's demanding and disciplined operation. She essentially serves as the hammer of the outfit—as opposed to Sylia's leadership and genius, Nene's tech wizardry, and Linna's sleek athletic precision.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss was voiced by rock singer Kinuko Ohmori in Bubblegum Crisis but after the series was cancelled she decided to focus full-time on her recording career and thus J-pop singer Ryoko Tachikawa took over the role in Bubblegum Crash. In English, she is voiced by Sinda Nichols normally while the English singing voice is done by Joyce Leigh Bowden in the original series, with Yuu Asakawa and Christine Auten in the 2040 series.&lt;br /&gt;

==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priscilla &amp;quot;Priss&amp;quot; S. Asagiri is the moody and defiant 19-year-old member of the Knight Sabers, fighting boomers with ferocious abandon in her slick dark blue Hard Suit, which features a railgun in the right hand as well as a laser gun in the original series and her signature knuckle bombers (explosive charges in both hands of her hard suit) in both series; in the Bubblegum Crash series the suit becomes a modular core system to which a variety of selective heavy weapons can be attached. In the Crisis series, her Hard Suit also combines with her Motoslave (a motorcycle that transforms into an automated mecha or an exosuit) to combat more-advanced Boomers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In both Crisis and Crash, Priss is a rock singer as well as a motorcyclist with a love/hate relationship with AD Policeman Leon McNichol. She is an orphan of the 2025 Kantō earthquake, who joined a biker gang. After her boyfriend was killed and his death declared insignificant by the police (hence her dislike for the law enforcement), she attempted to hunt down the killers, but she was recruited into the Sabers instead. Priss' rebellious streak is tempered by a good heart and sense of humor, which may explain her ability to function in Sylia Stingray's demanding and disciplined operation. She essentially serves as the hammer of the outfit—as opposed to Sylia's leadership and genius, Nene's tech wizardry, and Linna's sleek athletic precision.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss was voiced by rock singer Kinuko Ohmori in Bubblegum Crisis but after the series was cancelled she decided to focus full-time on her recording career and thus J-pop singer Ryoko Tachikawa took over the role in Bubblegum Crash. In English, she is voiced by Sinda Nichols normally while the English singing voice is done by Joyce Leigh Bowden in the original series, with Yuu Asakawa and Christine Auten in the 2040 series.&lt;br /&gt;

|Short=A picture is worth a thousand words.  That's code for Lazy Writer!  Just... look to the right okay!  ----&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|Desc=&lt;br /&gt;
    You look upon a young Japanese woman, probably in her late teens or early twenties.  She has an attractive face without being overly glamourous.  She has reddish-brown almond shaped eyes with thick lashes but thin eyebrows that arch gently above.  A small straight nose and small pair of lips complete her features, all proportioned and spaced in that way that defines beauty.  Her hair is a thick pile of brown that cascades down in straight lengths that touch the small of her back. The bangs have been teased into a full inward curling package with shoulder length cat-tails the drape in front of her exposed pierced ears.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She stands at five foot, eight inches and her body is fit without being ripped with muscles. If you had to guess her weight you'd peg her at around one hundred twenty pounds. Most of her height is owed to her longer legs. Her skin is a healthy peach color with the usual little imperfections. If you look closely you can make out a few nicks and scars on her arms and another on her left leg if she isn't wearing pants. This suggests she's a rough and tumble kind of girl or perhaps she was in an accident when she was younger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Right now she is suited up in a red biker's racing jacket with reinforced shoulder and elbow pads. The leather on the arms is colored black on top but red on the bottom, giving it the two tone split. The jacket can be button closed but she's chosen to leave it wide open to show off the form fitting blue undershirt with the white collar. Her breasts aren't big but they aren't small either, more than enough to push out the front of her shirt attractively. A white belt with a silver buckle keeps the lower part of the jacket together but it has been left unfastened. On her hips and legs she wears a pair of super skin tight leather pants that show off her womanly curves. There is no belt on the pants as they stay attached to her body by the pure squeeze factor of the tight fit.  Red biker boots with black soles cover her feet, held securely by the series of velcro straps that go across the top of the foot and up the calves of the boot. On her hands are red racing gloves with white palms. The knuckles have been reinforced to keep her hands protected while rocketing down the highway or when she has to deck a jackass.&lt;br /&gt;

==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priscilla &amp;quot;Priss&amp;quot; S. Asagiri is the moody and defiant 19-year-old member of the Knight Sabers, fighting boomers with ferocious abandon in her slick dark blue Hard Suit, which features a railgun in the right hand as well as a laser gun in the original series and her signature knuckle bombers (explosive charges in both hands of her hard suit) in both series; in the Bubblegum Crash series the suit becomes a modular core system to which a variety of selective heavy weapons can be attached. In the Crisis series, her Hard Suit also combines with her Motoslave (a motorcycle that transforms into an automated mecha or an exosuit) to combat more-advanced Boomers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In both Crisis and Crash, Priss is a rock singer as well as a motorcyclist with a love/hate relationship with AD Policeman Leon McNichol. She is an orphan of the 2025 Kantō earthquake, who joined a biker gang. After her boyfriend was killed and his death declared insignificant by the police (hence her dislike for the law enforcement), she attempted to hunt down the killers, but she was recruited into the Sabers instead. Priss' rebellious streak is tempered by a good heart and sense of humor, which may explain her ability to function in Sylia Stingray's demanding and disciplined operation. She essentially serves as the hammer of the outfit—as opposed to Sylia's leadership and genius, Nene's tech wizardry, and Linna's sleek athletic precision.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss was voiced by rock singer Kinuko Ohmori in Bubblegum Crisis but after the series was cancelled she decided to focus full-time on her recording career and thus J-pop singer Ryoko Tachikawa took over the role in Bubblegum Crash. In English, she is voiced by Sinda Nichols normally while the English singing voice is done by Joyce Leigh Bowden in the original series, with Yuu Asakawa and Christine Auten in the 2040 series.&lt;br /&gt;

INT. DEPUTY CHIEF RIO'S OFFICE - DAY&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
Deputy Chief Kinezono's Office(#5824R)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You are currently in Chief Rio Kinezono's cluttered office, a wretched hive of scum and villainy, or at least that's what she claims.  Speaking of claims, there's a pile of them that makes her desk look like the skyline of Chicago.  The second thing you might notice is that her office has carpet unlike most of the rest of the station.  It is a deep blue and of the fabric type that bare feet appreciate when they are sore.  A decorative ceiling fan spins lazily over the desk rustling the papers stacked on it.  Behind the desk is Rio's high back leather chair and behind that is a bay window overlooking the city.  Two more chairs sit in front of the desk.  The wall to your right has a plaque and several framed photos hangin around it.  A potted plant sits in the corner, right of the bay window.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
It's been a few days since the Chinese gunmen had shot up the theater during the world premiere of Maggie Cheung's 'Goddess of Guns' motion picture.  The milk run babysitting duty Yuji and Rio had volunteered to be in charge of had gone from boring to HOLY HELL in five seconds.  Someone had come for the Chinese starlet.  After the gun smoke had settled there were dozens of wounded civvies with one dead at the scene and a total of four dead bad guys and one critically injured.  Six other suspects had avoided capture by using what was believed to be the sewer system.  No trace of them had been found since that night.   The helicopter that had been captured by Hellboy had proven thus far to be a dead end.  The vehicle had no registration and none of the parts on board were traceable back to any manufacturing plant.  The only lead left now was the female Chinese pilot that Hellboy had roughed up badly.  She was under lockdown and 24/7 police guard at the NT General Hospital.  The two who lived the fight were now hanging out in Chief Rio's office discussing something of great importance... DATENIGHT.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Yes.. I know I promised a date but I haven't approved it yet with Alice.  And don't think this is an invitation to anything but good food and company!&amp;quot; She eyed the other officer suspiciously.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa whistles innocently. &amp;quot;The thought never crossed my mind.&amp;quot; .. o 0(dammit)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Uh huh. Riiiiiiight you horndog!   Anyway, I'll get it squared away with her soon okay?  How's the hand?  You stall crying like a baby?  I mean you took a little wound but my skirt was murdered!  I had to get a new one and that cost money I didn't have....&amp;quot; she whined and pouted.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa can't seem to help talking shop. &amp;quot;So heard any more about the sentient trafficking that's going on?&amp;quot; He looks at his bandaged hand &amp;quot;It's fine, I needed a new shirt though. and you know what a pain getting them properly badged up is&amp;quot; He sighs. &amp;quot;Money Trouble again Rio. How do you manage that on a Chief's pay?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio looked really guilty and shrank in her chair a little.  &amp;quot;Hey... I have like 12 years of debt to pay off here!   And I am not in trouble I just don't like extra expenses that I shouldn't of had in the first place!  Gimme a break here!   Hey.. Rio, you want to babysit for some extra cash?  Sure boss lady!&amp;quot;  She spins around in her plush highback chair making machinegun sounds and finally kicks her long legs up on the desk and leaning back.  &amp;quot;World War three suddenly breaks out!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;And no.  I haven't been keeping up on the sentient trafficking case.  Not my case.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;Apparrently some goons with red eyes are kidnapping 'living collectables' Mostly Ponies it seems, Patrol was told to be on the lookout. The Cabbitplex was a mess... learn anything more about it? Investigation won't tell me squat.&amp;quot; He loses Rio's gaze for a moment as he admires her legs, and then looks her back in the eye. &amp;quot;I heard CSU found something interesting though Iris Kara still talks to me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Well the weapons and ammo that bad guys used at the theater is untraceable.  The helicopter we have sitting up in the maintenance bay the bad guys used is untraceable.  We haven't gotten squat on the dead guys in the morgue.  It's like they never exist on Earth and were like born in some vat in a crazy Chinese mad scientists lab and then unleashed on the world.  I mean did you see those guys out there?  They had no fear at all.  They were serious as hell.   We've had investigators pressing Mister Cheung for info about who the bad guys would be but he says he doesn't know.  I mean what kind of crazy asshole shoots up a theater and tries to whack or kidnap the star?   My money is on Chinese triads trying to make a quick buck by kidnapping some rich guy's little girl and extorting him for cash but even the triads aren't that crazy.   We've sent out some bat signals to the Hong Kong police to see what they got on these guys but haven't heard back from them yet.&amp;quot;  She re-crossed her legs, staring at the ceiling and then looked at Yuji suddenly.  &amp;quot;Wait.. ponies?  Sentient ponies?&amp;quot;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa Nods repeatedly, looking at Rio's legs again as she crosses them &amp;quot;Phew. Maybe they come from out of the badlands or something. CSU found some DNA and fingerprints but it was from the Private contractor who helped us. Hong Kong, Beijing, maybe someone knows something but MY money is on the otherdimensional. You've been on the street you know the crazy shit that drops in. Hell now we're getting Angels visiting. The Tank Police could do anything until the Evangelion thingies ripped open it's funky force field.&amp;quot; Then he nods repeatedly and sighs &amp;quot;Yeah, latest newcomers in town. I met one that claims to be a soldier in some sort of Royal Guard and I've heard there's others about from the rumours going around Patrol. This City man, nothing fazes me anymore.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio's left eye twitches at the thought of talking horses.. in the city.  &amp;quot;You are totally pulling my skirt!  TALKING PONIES!?  Just.... no!   Nope!&amp;quot;  She was still phased by stuff, especially weird ass stuff that should not exist!  She just shook her head then perked up.  &amp;quot;I watched the footage of that EVA thingie fighting that Angel thingie downtown.  That was bad ass!  Like Robot Jocks... only it didn't suck!  I am still amazed there were no causalities in that fight, only property damage.  I keep trying to remind myself why I come to work every day?  Terrorists is one thing but giant robots .. and now apparently TALKING horses.. that is another thing!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa grins &amp;quot;I kid you not, met one myself. They seem harmless enough. not sure what Crime they COULD do.&amp;quot; he shrugs. &amp;quot;I still find work to do. There's all kinds of evil the Giant Robots can't and don't deal with. I'll take your word for the Badassery. I was off duty that day thank goodness. But yeah talking horses and people kidnapping them. This City...&amp;quot; he shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio laughs at the absurdity of it all and then suddenly her door bursts open and Rio goes falling backwards out of her chair as she's startled.  Fan service for Yuji ensues.  Oh!  They are Teal colored today!   It's Sergeant Biggles in all his rounded belly police glory.  He looked out of breath, taking a moment to catch his breath.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sgt. Danalli Biggles gasped and wheezed... he was so going to die of a heart attack for sure.  &amp;quot;Chief!  You won't believe it!  I don't believe it!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio gathered herself up off the floor looking annoyed.  &amp;quot;Believe what?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa's eyes were NOT on biggles for long moments. Then he too looks over at the sargeant. &amp;quot;What's up Sarge?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sgt. Danalli Biggles stabbed a thumb back over his shoulder.  &amp;quot;Dispatch just got the call from the hospital.  Code 187 on that Chinese lady pilot suspect!  The one we've had under constant guard!  She's dead as a doornail.  Officers there responded to the nurse screaming when she went into the room.  When they got in there lady was dead.  Had a pretty smile carved into her throat!  They said wasn't anything out of place!   They heard noth'n!  Saw noth'n!  No windows broken.  No noth'n!  Just one dead suspect and a whole lotta WTFs!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio sighed and thumped her head, face first down on the desk.  &amp;quot;Jezz... you had ONE job guys!  ONE JOB!  How the hell-!?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;I tell you Chief I still think there's an other dimensional element here. Maybe super ninjas&amp;quot; He pauses &amp;quot;So...we checking out the crime scene?&amp;quot;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officers run by in the hallway outside as things pick up with the announcement of the 187 at the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Super Ninjas?  What the hell is a super ninja!?&amp;quot; she stared blankly at Yuji.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa nods at Rio. Not much to say at this point. He settles his gun belt and straightens up a little bit. Putting on his duty face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;It's probably one of those new talking ponies with a shank in it's mouth!  UGH!  I quit.  You become police chief!  I'm so done...&amp;quot; She sighed then opened the drawer of her desk and pulled our her service weapon and strapped it on to her leg then she put on her Boob-Window jacket and button it up.  There's the lovely lift factor Yuji has come to know and love so well.  &amp;quot;I guess we'll go check it out.  Forensics on the way?&amp;quot; She asked to Biggles.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sgt. Danalli Biggles says, &amp;quot;Yeah.  I think so.&amp;quot;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio looked at Yuji.  &amp;quot;Maybe if it is Psychic Killer Shanking Death Ninja Ponies we could use someone from the AMP to give the room a sweep?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa nods &amp;quot;I hear the AMP has it's own worries. Iris again, she also runs intelligence.&amp;quot; he does give Rio a look that's not in the eye &amp;quot;I think we could handle death ninja ponies&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Are you sure!?  Are you really SURE!?&amp;quot; She huffed and flicked her pony-tail back then saunter those hips out of the office.  &amp;quot;Biggles, let them know Yuji and I are going to be on scene shortly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sgt. Danalli Biggles says, &amp;quot;You got it Chief!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Come on loverboy.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa grins lopsidely, he loves it when she talks naughty to him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CUT TO:  INT. 1ST FLOOR HALLWAY - POLICE TOWN&lt;br /&gt;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
1st Floor Hallways(#5813R)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Welcome to the maze of hallways that compose floor one.  The floor is made of white black speckled tile and the ceiling of white asbestos fiberboard.  Fluorescent lights are placed every ten feet, hidden behind plastic maintenance covers.  There are fire sprinklers between each of the ceiling tiles that hold the lights.  You can also notice places where emergency bulkheads can come slamming down to secure the floor encase of emergencies.  These areas are marked on the floor with black and yellow striped emergency bars with the word &amp;quot;DANGER&amp;quot; written under the bars.  The walls are painted half blue, half beige in color.  Brown signs with white lettering help to direct you to the various places of interest on this floor.  There are signs that lead you to the detective offices, the bookings department, briefing rooms, the cafeteria and the elevators.  Also located in the maze are two offices side by side with gold plaques on them.  One reads, &amp;quot;Deputy Chief Rio Kinezono&amp;quot; while the other reads &amp;quot;Captain Sherry Charis.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[Things  : None ]&lt;br /&gt;
----------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A cute little red headed female officer comes down the hallway with a huge stack of papers.  &amp;quot;Chief!  The damage claims from that Angel thingie are in and-&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa groans. &amp;quot;I'm So glad I'm not on a desk&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Put it on my desk!  I'm out on duty!  I'll burn them in the fires of my rage when I get back!&amp;quot; She shot off as she walked by the girl who responded with a sharp, &amp;quot;YES MA'AM!&amp;quot;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio looks at Yuji as she walks and says, &amp;quot;If it is killer ninja Psychic death ponies you owe me dinner!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa grins. &amp;quot;But only if it's exactly that. if it's like Squid or something then you owe me&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Deal!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CUT TO: EXT. VEHICLE GARAGE - DAY&lt;br /&gt;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
You are standing in the underground vehicle garage.  This low ceiling concrete poured cavern is where all the police cruisers, HUMVEEs, APCs and patrol motorcycles are parked.  Steel reinforced concrete pillars give support for this place every ten feet. Fluorescent lights are attached to all four sides of each pillar to light up the garage to some degree.  A vehicle ramp leads up to the surface and has a two foot thick steel garage door than can close to secure this place from outside intrusions.  The door's status is controlled by a digital pad inside a tiny booth that is always manned by an officer.  In the opposite direction you can drive vehicles through an archway to the maintenance bay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[The security door is currently &amp;quot;open.&amp;quot;]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;You drive.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio tosses Yuji the keys to the patrol car.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa gets in and starts up the Thunderbird, reving it's high performance engine and making sure to turn on the undercarriage lights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio hops in herself and buckles up, adjusting the seat belt so it doesn't murder her big breasts.  She snags the CB ready mic and keys up, &amp;quot;Car...what car are we?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa looks at the id number on the dash. &amp;quot;54&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Not this car!  This car is evil!  UGH!&amp;quot;  She keys up again.  &amp;quot;Car 54, in route to NT General.&amp;quot; She let's off the mic nods to Yuji.  &amp;quot;Punch it Chewie.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa peals out, he's a very skilled driver but not necessarily a 'good' one. Instead he pushes his skill and the car's performance to the limits dodging and weaving through traffic with the lights on and siren blaring.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CUT TO:  KUWAMARU STREET - OUTSIDE NT GENERAL&lt;br /&gt;
----------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
The rather plain-faced building of the NeoTokyo General Hospital is built along this road, its sides painted with a large red cross. An interesting assortment of structures are situated along this road. Firmly embedded in the earth here is the Spirit Gate of Earth, one of five shrines like it situated throughout NeoTokyo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

[Things  : Spirit Gate of Earth(#1852) ]&lt;br /&gt;
-------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio looks at the maniac behind the wheel.  &amp;quot;Why are we Code 3?  Do you think the dead body is going to run away before we get there!?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa comes to a screaching halt at the hospital and just grins like an orthodontist commercial. &amp;quot;Only way to fly&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio feels the G-forces as the car comes to a halt from 60 to 0 in just a few seconds.  Her boobs bounce from the sudden stop.  Rio gave him a deadly glare.  &amp;quot;You are an idiot sometimes....&amp;quot;  She unfastened her seatbelt and got out of the car.  There were already other cars here, lights flashing every where.  Yep, the boys from Forensics were here already.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa nods as Rio notes the presence of CSU &amp;quot;Iris will probably be checking up on them&amp;quot; he doesn't answer the 'idiot' comment but he's still grinning over the drive. Yuji takes his fun where he can.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio slides her tonfu into it's holder and adjusts her uniform and then with a huffy sigh heads into the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CUT TO: INT. NEOTOKYO GENERAL HOSPITAL&lt;br /&gt;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
The main lobby of the NeoTokyo General Hospital opens before you, a wing of matching chairs and couches on either side of the room. Directly in front of the automatic doors that serve as an entrance and exit is the reception desk, an octagonal barrier of rose pink mica surrounding the built in desks. A door leading down a long hallway is on either side of the desk, one labeled &amp;quot;Emergency Room&amp;quot;, the other &amp;quot;Out Patients&amp;quot;. Beside the left waiting area are the metal doors of an elevator; near the right one is a set of stairs leading upwards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[Players : Anne_Saga(#13815XZ) (Puppet) ]&lt;br /&gt;
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
Yuji walks in from the street.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yuji has arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;I'm telling you.. there are going to be ghostly hove prints all over the room!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;I'll laugh if it's tentacle suckers.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Maaaaan this sucks so bad!  ARGH!  Damn it!  This suspect was like our last best hope for mankind!&amp;quot; She says in that movie narrator voice.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;I think the room is upstairs.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;I know where the room is dork!  I was here when the put her in the intensive care.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio slaps the button on the elevator and waits for it to come down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa Shrugs and follows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;So if Alice approves the dinner date.  Where are you taking me?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;There's a place in tokyo 3. out of our jurisdiction so nothing to put us back to work. Rooftop view of the city. snooty Maitre de. the works.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio brightens up a bit.  DING!  The elevator opens.  She walks as she says, &amp;quot;Oh!  You aren't an idiot!  I take it back!  Good thinking!  A quiet dinner is just what the doctor called for.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You step into the elevator.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa smiles and waits for the other shoe to drop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio slaps the button to get to the floor the now deceased suspect is on.  As the floors tick away Rio continues to the 20 questions about the hypothetical date night.  &amp;quot;So this place is a French restaurant?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;I think they try to cater to a number of cuisines.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Variety!  The spice of life!&amp;quot;  DING!  The elevator opens.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You step out onto the second floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yuji steps out of the elevator.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;all expensive though. I heard their morocan cherry sauce steak is to die for. and the choclate brownie well make dates go very well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
---------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
Iris_Kara(#14273PBC)&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara (or so her nametag claims) is wearing the 'Traditional' NTPD miniskirt and pushup vest. It is topped with a long sleeved tunic that descends nearly to the hem of her skirt. The tunic is trimmed the gold braid of an NTPD Captain. The bottle green outfit is visibly feminine, with a green micro-skirt and a white dress shirt with a scarlet cravat. Olive opaque tights and a pair of black dress shoes complete this outfit. She holds herself rather shyly, and would probably blush intensely if you noticed you scoping out the way the uniform flatters her legs and enhances her rather average bust. All in all she'd be quite pretty if it weren't for the way she constantly scrubs at her right eye, almost as if it was in pain&lt;br /&gt;
---------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Captain Kara.  How are things going here?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara has the whole floor cordoned off but you can tell which room has the body by the number of cops taking photos and running cotton swabs over the walls. She looks over at the chief and Yuji and scrubs at her right eye like she usually does when she's upset &amp;quot;Chief the whole world was in here trying to ressusitate her. I'm having to take disqualifying prints from half the staff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa waves casually to the Captain &amp;quot;Hey Iris&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Resuscitate?  How do you do that when the victim's throat has been slit from side to side?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;At least that's what Sergeant Biggles said happened.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara sighs exasperated,&amp;quot;Apparently the feel obliged to try. emergency bandages all over the wound, blood, More blood, pumped onto the walls by CPR .... It's untidy as hell&amp;quot; Untidy seems to be a swear word for the good captain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Ew.... do I even want to go into that room?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;I know I don't&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara shrugs &amp;quot;I'll have to get disqualifying prints and sample from you too. but you're free to investigate. You're the Chief.&amp;quot; She rubs her right eye again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;You okay?&amp;quot; She stares at Iris.  She totally forgot she rubs her eye.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara hmmms? &amp;quot;I'm ...fine. just a stress habit. Damn cyber eye gives me fidgets when I'm upset&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio patted Iris on the shoulder.  &amp;quot;Relax Captain.  This entire cast has been foobar from the beginning.  I kind of expected this to happen.  Maybe we need to get one of those crazy Psychic cops in here to sweep the place?  I mean, there is ZERO physical evidence of a break-in here Captain?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara throws up her hands &amp;quot;I don't know yet. there's too much evidence of CPR and panicked running around. So far though, no joy. The room is sealed there was a guard on the door. Regular suicide checks... This shouldn't have happened.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa Idly watches legs while pretending to listen. Kara's are nice too. Too bad she's DC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio walked over to the door to room 202 and peered around the edge and regretted it.  There was blood everywhere; on the ceiling, on the floor, on the walls and the white sheets of the bed were soaked red.  Rio forgot how much blood was in the human body but apparently every drop of it was no longer inside the suspect.  She quickly walked away from the door.  &amp;quot;Oh.. my.. God.... how do you guys deal with that stuff!?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara says, &amp;quot;With tweezers and UV usually.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa appears quite happy to stay where he is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;So... no break in.   The patient was fine one moment.. dead the next.  No sound from the room.   Did they sneak in through a vent like a bad action movie?&amp;quot;  There is no way as the vents are not HUGE gaping tunnels like Hollyweird always shows.  Just regular air vents.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;They'd need rope.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Iris_Kara pages, &amp;quot;is there anything CSU could have found? loose screws? elongated finger prints. Rope?&amp;quot; to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You page, &amp;quot;So far, jack and shit is there.  Not going to find any useable prints either.  Who ever did this was bad ass super pro.&amp;quot; to Iris_Kara.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Yuji thinks it was robot ninjas from another dimension.   I say it was magical ponies with shanks.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara sighs &amp;quot;No rope, rope fibres or anything of the sort. Vents are secure and the screws look like they've been untouched for years. Their HVAC system must be FULL of dust. No bridles or engine oil either. Whoever did this was like a ghost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa sneezes at the mention of dust.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Maybe it was a ghost.  Like I said, we need one of our clairvoyant officers in here maybe?  I mean I am totally freak'n out of answers!   Someone murdered this lady because they didn't want her to talk about the hit on Maggie Cheung I am pretty sure... if it was a hit.  Could have been a kidnapping too.  We just don't know!  ARGH!  I am going to start drinking!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara says, &amp;quot;Well if it's any help intelligence is going over comics manga and movies to see if there's any identifiable pattern. Of course intelligence has it's own worries. I need to talk to AMP about a rogue mage. I wish we had a clairvoyant. the only real edge we have in forensics is my cyber eye.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Man... freak'n AMP needs to get to hiring some people!   Hey!  Wait!  What about the Mage's Guild?  Don't they have like magic or something that can divine stuff?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara pauses &amp;quot;They...might. Mind you they're in a bit of tizzy over a rogue world ending mage. Who may or may not be in the city. Hence AMP.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;World ending mages...  Magic shanking ponies... Freddy Kruger nightmares in the hospital....  Captain, would you like to take over as chief?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara LaUGHS &amp;quot;Not on your life. I regret letting them put me in a green uniform as it is.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa goes back to admiring legs. So many officers in short NTPD issue skirts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Yuji...&amp;quot; she coughs.  This woman has pervert radar or something.  &amp;quot;Got make yourself useful and go question the two cops that were on the door when all this went down.&amp;quot;  The officers we're currently resting back against the wall looking really really bummed out that someone they were guarding has gotten whacked.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa sighs &amp;quot;Aye Aye Chief&amp;quot; and goes over to have a quiet confab with the two guards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;So Captain, it's been a while.  I mean.. not a while while.  I mean.. it's technically been 12 years since I talked to you with this whole crazy.. time what ever displacement thingie we all experienced.   Are you doing okay?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara nods &amp;quot; I guess. I regret accepting promotion but I'm coping with the workload. And well... what we do is worthwile&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa continues his sotto vocce conversation with the two guards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Hey.. do you really want to be out there having holes shot through your favorite skirt?&amp;quot; She grinned at the pretty robocop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara says, &amp;quot;Errr no. but I once had a less crowded desk.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa nods and gestures engaging the officers fully. somehow it looks like he's saying &amp;quot;It was THIS big&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Tell you what... anytime you feel overwhelmed.. you come to my office.. and look at my desk and then you won't feel so bad about your desk.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara says, &amp;quot;Snrrk. I told you a I didn't want your job.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;I know but if you see my suffering maybe your suffering won't be so bad!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa meanwhile has his log book out and is scribling notes. or maybe a quick sketch of something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You page, &amp;quot;They really don't have ANYTHING to give.   The lady was alive one minute when a nurse went in and came out.. Then about six minutes later, same nurse came back went in screamed bloody murder and the cops burst in and blood all over the place.&amp;quot; to Yuji.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa finally takes some more notes after showing the other two his doodle. and comes back to report. &amp;quot;Zip Zilch Nada...Niente&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara says, &amp;quot;You have a point. It's better than watching corporal for life Nariwasa whistle through his day.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio slaps Yuji on the shoulder as he walks up and heard that statement most likely.  &amp;quot;Ah, Yuji looooves his position.   He gets to stare at legs all day.. DON'T you Yuuuuji~?&amp;quot; She smirked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;actually I do like being a beat cop.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara says, &amp;quot;Just in case you've forgotten Yuji, not interested don't swing that way.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A vision of crimson red eyes appears before you, from which a reflection of Alice within catch! BITE! Oh god, finally free of obligations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Ooooooo!  Another sweet young thing taken off the table by the dark side of the Force.  Poor Yuji.&amp;quot;  Pats him on the back.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa sighs &amp;quot;Such is life. Anyhow yeah the guards didn't notice thing. one check and everything is fine a few minutes later the nurse goes in an all hell breaks loose. but no perp.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio sighed, spun around on her heel and fell back against the wall, folding her arms under chest and looking annoyed.  &amp;quot;Ghost Hunters!  Where are you!?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara says, &amp;quot;We're working on it. If there's ANYTHING we'll find it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara says, &amp;quot;I'm about ready to drill holes in the walls and take core samples.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Drilling in the walls?  What are you going to find drilling random holes in the walls?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara throws up her hands. &amp;quot;probably nothing but it's all I got left maybe there will be lingering radiation or chemical staining.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Radiation?  So a radioactive killer robot ninja magic shanking pony is now to blame for all this?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara says, &amp;quot;Well no hoofmarks some I'm willing to rule out ponies for the moment. Ponies? and well I'm grasping at straws here. Someone should have left SOMETHING behind. it's basic rule of forsenics.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Yeah.. but this is Neo-Tokyo captain... the city where Angels blow holes in the city, magic talking ponies are a thing and uber mages are trying to end the world.  I think someone could theoretically just teleport into the room, slice this woman a new one then teleport out.  That's why I want a goddamn AMP officer with powers to sweep the damn room but they're under staffed, out to lunch or on vacation!&amp;quot;  She hit her fist against the wall.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara says, &amp;quot;Well talk to AMP. they can only say no.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio picked up her CB mic off her left shoulder and keyed up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;Indeed The other Chief has got to have something?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Police&amp;gt; Rio says, &amp;quot;Dispatch. Do we have any AMP officers alive and able to respond to this 187 at the hospital, over?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Police&amp;gt; Chief this is Dispatch AMP officer en route to your location.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Police&amp;gt; Rio says, &amp;quot;Thank youuuuuuu~ Out!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Finally.  Jezzz.. remind me to send in a budget expansion request for the AMP to hire more officers!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You page, &amp;quot;PHTPTHPTHTP.. also.. I shrank both hands 10%.. NO MORE.&amp;quot; to Alice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Police&amp;gt; Officer Arisaka says, &amp;quot;Arisaka copies, Dispatch. Enroute to NT General.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Ah ha!   I totally forgot my girlf... er.. Alice is on the AMP varsity squad.  This should be good then!  She's good at her job.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;I suppose that's good.&amp;quot; and mutters something... it could have been cockblockula but might have just been a cough.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;I'll go meet and greet her.  Stay here with the captain and make sure no one else messes up the room more than it should be...&amp;quot; She slaps the elevator button and hops in once it arrives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CUT TO:  EXT. KUWAMARU STREET&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio walks out of the hospital and scans the area for the wayward AMP officer on call.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Police&amp;gt; Officer Arisaka says, &amp;quot;Arisaka is onsite at NT General. Over.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Arisaka is onside at NT General. Over,&amp;quot; said officer speaks into her radio, standing outside a police cruiser near a noisy bottle-green Thunderbolt. Turning her head towards the hospital entrance a short distance away, she spots a very familiar sight. Oh, well, well, now. Smiling a little amusedly at her luck, Alice starts making her way over towards her deputy chief who appears to be looking for someone...? She clears her throat, mostly at herself, one hand adjusting her glasses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio waves as she see's Alice getting out of her car and talking on her mic.  She had a mind to be a smart ass and reply on the radio even though Alice was in visual distance but she refrained for once.  Good girl Rio!  You can be a grown up for once!  &amp;quot;Officer Arisaka.  How nice of you to join us.  Glad to see the AMP could pull you out of their dusty closet and send over to us.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bottle Green Thunderbolt says, &amp;quot;PLEASE STEP AWAY FROM THE CAR&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka's look would have been so priceless, Rio would have had better had her phonecam out. Unless bodycams are already in place. Details! Nearly jumping in repeat surprise as the Thunderbolt repeats its proximity warning, very much out loud, she has half a mind to cite the owner. Ugh. &amp;quot;Thank you, Deputy Chief,&amp;quot; she nods once she's closed the distance, &amp;quot;How may I be of assistance?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Our suspect from the theater shoot out is up on the 20th floor with her throat sliced clean open.  Every once of blood she had is on the floor, wall or ceiling.  Foresincs can't seem to find their dick in the dark so... I asked if an AMP cop could spin by and give the room a once over.  I mean there is ZERO evidence of break in.  Or best theory right now is it's robotic ninja death shanking ponies from another dimension.&amp;quot; She stares at Alice dead serious... but... she can't keep a straight face and laughs and just slaps her on the shoulder and puts an arm around said shoulders and walks with her toward the hospital.  &amp;quot;Actually..  with no physical evidence we thought MMMMAYBE... just maybe magic was used?  Maybe someone teleported in and out again in the time span it took to kill this suspect.  All I know is they were silenced so they couldn't talk to us.   Think you can work some vodoo that you do and get SOMETHING for us?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka has about a good a poker face as one can be for the duration of her briefing. She only blinks once while she listens, and is a little surprised that forensics would be having so much trouble. Not to mention no signs of a breakin? She was about to say something, maybe even ask, but as the mood suddenly lightens, for the better she feels, she leans somewhat against Rio as she walks with her. &amp;quot;It's quite possible. Are there any other wounds on the victim? Signs of blood having exited from the mouth, nose, ears, or any orifices?&amp;quot; She then tilts her head, &amp;quot;Was this suspect not under guard? Or was is a completely silent, undetected kill?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio walks along with Alice, arm around her shoulder still.  &amp;quot;Two of our boys were on the door at all times.  Nurse went in to the room.  No problem.  Came back to the room six minutes later, screams bloody murder.  Cops bust in.  Bloody nightmare all over the place.  I ummmm....  I peaked in but bloody messes like this are not my thing.  It's nightmare fuel.   I think there is only one wound, the throat slash from what everyone has said.   I'll let you go look at the grizzly details.&amp;quot;  She slaps the elevator call button and waits.  &amp;quot;Other than that I got nothing else to give you.  Talk to Captain Kara upstairs for more.&amp;quot;  She gets into the elevator with Alice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You step into the elevator.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio pushes the 20th floor and waits for the door to slide closed then leans in to peck Alice on the cheek.  &amp;quot;Glad you are here.  I've missed you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka mms, thoughtful for most of the walk to the elevator. She thinks that she is going to have to look upon the crime scene for herself. She's going to need gloves, most likely. Nodding softly in acknowledgement as her being filled in concludes, she waits to step into the elevator, maintaining her composture, until the doors close. Smiling then as she squeezes an arm around Rio's waist she whispers, &amp;quot;I'm happy that we can work together, finally. I've missed you, too.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alice steps out onto the 2nd floor&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You step out onto the second floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio steps out after Alice into the floor that is bustling with police and forensics teams.  Standing in the hallway talking to some of her team is Captain Iris Kara.  Yuji is off paling it up with some other officers and checking out the nurses when they pass through.  The hospital still has to keep running.  The room is 2002 if one couldn't tell by the crime scene tape that had been strung up around the door but the threshold left open for officers to move back and forth.  &amp;quot;I'm sooooooo not going to go in there with you or else you will have to cuddle me to sleep like for nine weeks straight,&amp;quot; Rio grinned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka is at first a little taken aback by all the police activity. It reminds her of how suddenly she's been thrust back into her old life prior to the great collapse. Captain Kara would be the first person to ask any further questions, she agrees. She eyes Yuji in passing. Of course the wacky old lech would be here, ever on Rio's tail. She can't help but roll her eyes with a small degree of amusement at how much things have stayed the same. &amp;quot;It's okay,&amp;quot; she whispers aside to Rio, smiling rather confidently despite herself, mentally preparing herself for the nightmare scene waiting ahead, before stopping before Iris and straightening to salute, &amp;quot;AMP Officer Arisaka reporting in, Captain. Deputy Chief Kinezono has filled me in and I am here to assist with the investigation.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara turned from the two who was talking to and saluted the young vampire officer back.  &amp;quot;It's all yours.  We can't get any real evidence out of here.  The scene was pretty contaminated by all the medical people trying to save the suspects life but I think all they did was ruin what evidence we could have.  Deputy Chief seems to think maybe one of you AMP types can divine something from the crime scene.  Give it a go and let us all know if you found something.  Watch your step in there.  It's a pretty big mess.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka stands at attention while she listens, waiting for the Captain to finish before nodding quickly. &amp;quot;Will do, Captain,&amp;quot; she salutes before turning towards the room in question. Turning to Rio as she starts towards it, she asks, &amp;quot;How long has it been since our suspect was killed?&amp;quot; How long the victim has been dead is rather important to her, given her options. She takes in a long, deep breath, steeling herself for what she may be about to see. Stay calm, Alice. This is just like before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio held up two fingers.  &amp;quot;Two hours, give or take a few minutes.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka just about nearly blanches. Ugh, dead blood! She can already feel that this is going to be unpleasant. Swallowing deeply, she straighens once more, and at the threshold to room 2002, she turns to smile once more time at Rio before disappearing into the room and the horrors that lay within.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CUT TO:  ROOM 2002 - NT GENERAL&lt;br /&gt;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
This is one of the hospital rooms in the hospital. Just like outside, the walls are painted white, the air smells of antiseptics, and the floor is clean. There is a large hospital bed, complete with electronic controls. Two couches, one table, a television set, a really small kitchen, and a refrigerator are also present. There is also a door leading to the lavatory.&lt;br /&gt;
[Exits   : (O)ut(#6329E) ]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Players : Alice(#13238PC) ]&lt;br /&gt;
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
A team is busy drilling a core sample out of the sheetrock wall near the bed.  There is one female victim in the hospital bed.  She is Chinese, no overly unpleasant about the face if it wasn't for the fact that it was pale white, drained of almost all color with the loss of blood and death having set in for two hours.  Her throat has neatly cut slice that is deep.  The white sheet of the bed are a sticky gore red now.  Blood has pooled on the floor and more of it is slung up the walls and to the ceiling.  Perhaps from a single blade swipe probably comes to mind given your skill with a katana.  There appears to be no broken windows and the air vents are far to small for any normal person to get into the room from.  The victim's eyes are closed which suggests they died in their sleep perhaps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka's eyes vanish behind the ghastly reflection off her glasses for a moment, with a hand involuntarily cupping over her mouth as she takes the scene in. Perhaps it's a good thing that they did, lest someone really see just how horrified she is, but only for that moment. Taking in another slow, deep breath, this time to purposefully take in the room's scent, ugly or no, her eyes dart from the victim, to the ceiling and floors, then to each wall. Returning to the stiff, they focus on her throat wound and she steps closer. By the looks of all the blood present, it does mean to her that it was no joke that the victim may have been competely drained. Not to mention that it would not be kosher of her to simply grab the dead woman and sink her teeth into her. Instead, she turns to ask someone for a vial. A vial and an eyedropper. She looks upon the blood pooling on the floor. Blood, yes, that is what she needs. She is so not looking forward to it, but it is exactly what she needs at this moment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the scientists in the room looks at Alice with a weird expression then hands her one of the vials of the crimson ichor.  &amp;quot;Here you are.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka hmms, an eyebrow raised as there is a sample already at her disposal. She does hope they're not going to need it again anytime soon, because... besides, they can gather more, with how abundant it seems to be. The smell, though. &amp;quot;Thank you,&amp;quot; she nods to them before holding the vial up in front of her face, slowly rolling it between her fingers. What secrets might this person's essence divulge, she wonders. There is so little blood, but she knows that she can collect more. Well, then, realizing that there is no use in stalling, as this isn't getting any fresher, she quickly uncaps the vial, and bracing herself, it's down the hatch in one quick shot! Urgh! She can even feel herself go pale, clapping her hand over her mouth again as she fights the desperate gag reflex, crouching down to collect more from the nearest pool to refill the vial. Ugh!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lady who gave Alice the vial stares wide eyed as the vampire downs the dead cocktail in one gulp.  She looks like she's going to be sick to and quickly gets up and runs out of the room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka shudders, squeezing her eyes shut at just how. Bloody. Disgusting. this is. She's going to be so very sick, she knows. It's better to get it over with! Need more essence! Need more blood. And here comes a second shot. Slam!! This one she very nearly coughs out, but manages to force it in. Gasping raggedly for breath, she fills the vial once again and downs a third, choking after it goes down, and her body shudders for a moment before she has stop to really try and catch her breath, tears beginning to stream down her eyes by now. A little more, just a little more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The memories start to come in finally, played back in reverse sequence at flashback speed; Surgery, the ride in the ICU ambulance, Hellboy beating the ever living crap out of her with those big rock fists of his, the shooting, the sound of rounds hitting the chopper, more shooting, the in route flight with the men on board preparing, radio chatter in Chinese (which can be given to you if you speak Chinese), loading up on helicopter pad on the back of a ship at sea, more chatter in Chinese as the crew and the shooters load up...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka doubles over, her eyes flying open, and she gags loudly. This... is not something that she is used to. Oh, if only this blood could have been fresh. She hopes that, next time, they will call her sooner! Coughing blood into her hand, her vision a blurry haze, she flumbles a little with the vial to scoop up another shot, and down that one goes. Then another. And another! More! The more blood, the more power. She feels truly, horribly sick, now, and she would be happier with the respite offered as she becomes able to see, to play out the victim's memories. Oh. Joy. Chinese!! She is briefly, very briefly thankful that it's at least a language that she speaks! While she did not know a lick of Chinese before this whole world caved in on itself, that changed over the decade she had lived in Metropolis. Mostly Cantonese, but still with a generous amount of Mandarin, all thanks to her teammates from that time. It's enough to drive her to collect and down another shot, then another, then she doubles over again. No, Alice, don't throw up. Don't throw it up! Contain!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;We're taking to much fire!  Aborting!&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;The Devil is in my chopper!  HELP!  NO!&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;Roger that, our ETA is 5 minutes to the zone Lockbox.  Don't move until we're in position!&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;Let's go!  Mister X wants the girl by the end of the evening or else we don't get paid!  Chopper is firing up in two and we are out in 5!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only a few more flashbacks come in reverse sequence; Gun range, weapons training, running, PT courses, a medical room, lights shined in the eyes.  &amp;quot;Do you know who you are?&amp;quot; the doctor says.  Head shake, NO.  &amp;quot;Good.  You are who you say we are.  She's ready for programming.  Take her to room 2.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After that.. darkness... nothing more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka's hand trembles as she fumbles to fill the vial once more, but she can't. The vial falls out from between her fingers and she claps both hands tighly over her mouth, squeezing tearful eyes shut, and she rocks in place, crouched down where she is. Focus. That is all she can do, now, focus. She's managed to keep it all down, and she'd be more surprised at this amazing feat of hers if she didn't feel the room spinning. She needs blood, fresh blood. No, she needs... she doesn't know what she needs. She just needs to leave this room, and as the memories flood with darkness, she can feel it enveloping it, as well. Losing her grip on herself for a moment and coughing up blood into her hands, she gasps again for breath and holds up one hand to any remaining staff in a weak attempt to assure them that, yes, she's alright. Liar. No, not yet, the darkness can't take her yet. She needs to get out of here. She stumbles out of the room, thankfully managing to not knock anything or anyone over. Maybe she'll pat herself on the back later for holding together this well. Maybe when she feels not so utterly sick. Maybe after she has reported her findings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CUT TO: 20TH FLOOR - NT GENERAL&lt;br /&gt;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
This is the 20th floor of the hopital.   There are doors into the patient's rooms on either side of the hallway.&lt;br /&gt;
[Exits   : (Stairs)(#1978E), (203)(#5947E), (202)(#6404E), (201)(#6491E), and &amp;lt;E&amp;gt;levator(#1979E) ]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Things  : None ]&lt;br /&gt;
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
Alice has arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio watches Alice stumble out of the room with blood all over her hands from where she spit up the bad blood.  That seriously makes Rio freak out because it looks like Alice had been shot or stabbed!  She ran over and put an arm around her!  &amp;quot;Alice!?  Are you okay?  You are coughing up blood!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka is suddenly so very glad to have someone to lean on, for the support. It is so very welcome, now! ...except she doesn't want to get any of that stuff on her. Any idea just how hard it is to get this stuff off!? Nodding her head vigorously, more than she thought she could, she immediately regrets it as her vision tunnels. Oh no, no no no no! Not yet, Arisaka! &amp;quot;Rio!&amp;quot; she sputters, covering her mouth still, having gotten dark red droplets all over her own uniform anyway, &amp;quot;She was a puppet.&amp;quot; Her shoulders jerk and tears force themselves out of her eyes with a pretty fierce gag. &amp;quot;Brainwashed!&amp;quot; she gasps, leaning a little heavier for support, &amp;quot;Mentally reconditioned... programmed. They were hired by a Mister X.&amp;quot; Yes, for all the good that tidbit does. Any Mister Big can call himself Mister X! Well, she still has visual memory to work from later for composite sketches and such. The ship they set out from! &amp;quot;Their base was a ship out at sea..&amp;quot; her voice becomes more ragged, &amp;quot;...all... Chinese..&amp;quot; She grips Rio's shoulder, forgetting that she didn't want to stain her uniform, and she gasps, her eyes beginning to roll into the back of her head, &amp;quot;...bathroom...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You offer to carry Alice. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio grabs Alice and helps walk her to the woman's bathroom.  &amp;quot;Out of the way!  Emergency coming through!  Move!&amp;quot; Rio always gets hyper protective of the one she loves when she's hurt or in danger.  She doesn't care about her shoulder and vest getting blood on it... well she does... but now is not the time to cry about it!  Her girl is in need!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alice scrambles up on you. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio takes Alice into the next door room that has no patient in it and takes her to the bathroom so she can upchuck as need, rubbing her back to comfort her.  &amp;quot;Come on baby...  jezzz what a mess honey...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The world is more or less nothing but a blur. Lestat might have thought he had it bad when he was tricked into drinking some of that dead blood, but oh boy does he have nothing on this vampire! Very nearly losing her footing plenty of times, stumbling outright as the bathroom smells assault her nose, she feels for the telltale bowl shape of the Deity of Porcelain. The Good Lord of Puke. She can't see anymore, she is deathly pale, and are those veins showing? They.. they're the wrong kinds of veins, and the wrong kind of color! Well, maybe it's because she looks about as white as the woman she just fed from. Maybe it's contagious! Collapsing on her knees, she gags loudly a few times, wincing in pain with every contracting of her abdomen, and she slams a hand against the wall of the stall. Which falls right over. Oops. &amp;quot;Fresh....&amp;quot; her voice is thin, hoarse, &amp;quot;...fresh...&amp;quot; and her body convulses, &amp;quot;...blood....&amp;quot; before her eyes roll back into her head completely and somebody better catch her because it's Ragdoll Time!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Ah baby!&amp;quot;  Rio slaps her face gently to try to wake her up.  Damn it!  Crazy vampire drinking dead blood!   Well there wasn't anything to do for it now but what she had done in the past.  She cradled Alice gently in her arms and pulled Alice's head up to rest on Rio's shoulder, putting Alice's face in the crook of Rio's neck where she could sense that pumping fresh blood in the blonde's neck.  Instict would take over most likely but ohhhhhhhh this was going to suck both figuratively and literally for Rio.  When Alice was this in need it usually meant a large donation to the vampire blood bank and lights out for the mortal girl.  &amp;quot;Come on baby... wake up.  You have a nice meal waiting for you...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka's breaths, forcefully steady, and the way that her eyes drift shut, can only mean that she has thankfully not completely slipped away. Even though she doesn't seem to respond to the initial smackings, it becomes more and more obvious that she is still here, by how her breaths become more even. So ill, so very ill. She can't believe she was able to hold it all down. She's absorbed it, all of it, and the woman's essence with it. All that blood. She can smell blood. Fresh blood. It smells so familiar, so good. Her senses tell her where she is. Her head shakes just a little to brush her nose against that familiar neck. She understands the sentiment, and she can't help but smile, even if it's as painedly as it is. &amp;quot;...it's okay...&amp;quot; she whispers, &amp;quot;....packet's good..&amp;quot; The passing of the years has also meant that she has since gained a firmer control of her bloodlust, thankfully.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Oh please.. that cheap drug store rip off stuff?  Come on.. you can take some just don't take all of it!  I gotta stay on my feet.  Once you get enough then you can go get blood packets if you need them.  I'm not going to leave you laying on the floor here while I go get a Caprice Sun blood drink for you.  Now come on.  Drink!&amp;quot;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka's body feels like it's tightening up on itself, and she winces quite profusely at... something. Something, but it must have hurt. It hurt so much that her mouth went wide open, glistening fangs baring in their full, sharp, pointy glory. &amp;quot;Ahh.. hahh..&amp;quot; her breaths come. She can't argue with the Chief, she can't debate the finer points of blood quality when she is in such need. Besides, this is a fresh as it gets, and she did call for fresh blood. She walked right into that one, or rather, stumbled. Rio need say no more! Those fangs find their mark to plunge right into that thick, plump, throbbing jugular. She can feel the pumping flow even before she bites in, and it's all the more delicious now. Still, she drinks in a slow, controlled manner, and has by now forgotten just how messy her hands are and EW it's going to be a bitch to get out of her hair because that is exactly where her hand goes. To cradle the back of Rio's head and get yucky dead blood all in her hair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio is far more concerned with the sharp double stabs of pain as she's punctured like a fruit drink box and fed on.  The blood in her blonde hair will have to be worried about AFTER the crisis is over.  She squeezes Alice's hand hard at the initial bite pain and shivers and shudders but as the vampire does what she does Rio calms down and completely relaxes in a semi drunken state as she's drained of the red go-go juice.  Ugh.. the dry cleaning on the uniform is going to cost even more money she doesn't have to spend.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka, for the time being, focuses on one thing and one thing alone. How much blood she is drawing out. After all this time, she's got it down to an absolute art, how much is too much and how much leaves a willing donor able to do what. In this case, her willing donor wants to be able to walk out of here, so it doesn't take her long to taper off on the sucky sucky, although she can't really do much about the, ahem, paralyzing effects of her saliva. Still! This ride is over, please watch your head and make sure you are not forgetting any personal belongings. Sealing the wounds with a long, soft kiss on that slender neck, she still feels awful, so very very awful, but this is progress. &amp;quot;Thank you,&amp;quot; she whispers, her breaths a little softer, at least. What a messy job and she hopes that she never has to do this ever again, but a job's a job.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio remains sitting up against the wall with Alice cradled in her arms.  The two look like they were part of a mass murder pact, covered in blood.  How does that crap get everywhere so damn fast!?   Rio smiles at Alice and nods a little groggily as the paralysis venom is going to take a bit to get out of her system.   &amp;quot;No.. problem pretty vampire princess... no problem at all....&amp;quot; She stares into Alice's red eyes.  &amp;quot;You are an amazing creature.. thank you for helping us out.  It's not much but it's more than we would have gotten any other way.  Maybe when you feel better you can get more detail out of what you saw with whatever you did in there.  I am pretty sure going on Mister X is going to yield jack and shit....&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka closes her eyes, deciding that trying to get up will not be a very good idea. At all. So, therefore, she is going to lean against Rio for the time being. It must be such a comically tragic sight. Horrifying! Yes, this is going to take f o r e v e r to get off. Well, at least one girl in this room is good with money. Very good with money! So good that she'll be the one shouldering the bills on these. Her eyes, as they open back up, are glassy and somewhat vacant, but at least they show no indication that she is blind. Well, everything is such a blur, still, but that should go away. &amp;quot;I'll have,&amp;quot; she whispers, her voice softening. It seems to be easier when she speaks softly, &amp;quot;a full report. When I am better.&amp;quot; She had also figured as much, regarding this Mister X. If she has more information in those memories regarding that ship that those commandoes were based out of. A name, location.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio kissed the top of Alice's head and snuggled her cheek into the blackness.  &amp;quot;You dork.. don't go poisoning yourself like this.... if I had known.. I'd of told you heck no....&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka just... can't help but be amused, and thankful at such concern. After all, she was just doing her job, as her abilities allowed her. &amp;quot;Sorry,&amp;quot; her features soften, almost into a smile. Almost. &amp;quot;There was no other way.&amp;quot; Maybe AMP should stand for Alice Might Puke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Can you stand yet?  I think I can?  Don't need anyone coming on to our murder scene here...&amp;quot; she chuckles.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka knows for sure that she is going to likely pass out if she tries to stand. &amp;quot;I don't think I can,&amp;quot; she shakes her head, though she's made pretty sure that Chief Sexy here should be able to, still. Oh, this blood poisoning might take a while to get over and she is already having so many regrets because she feels so miserable and she is going to feel this way for a long while, isn't she. They seriously need a proper medium in the division, ugh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Do you want me to get you on a stretcher and get you out of here or at least get you to the bed?  I think I can manage that and you can just lay here and recover.  I don't what you did that had you coughing up but blood but that is going to be nightmare fuel for a while now for me.. you scared the crap out of me!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio managed to slowly get up.  She wasn't THAT down on pints and with a little effort, scoped up the light weight vampire girl and picked her up with a little grunt of an effort and carried her out of the bathroom and laid her on the bed in the room then sat down with a heavy bounce on the edge like she was exhausted herself.  &amp;quot;You going to be okay, right?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka does think it would be for the better that she not be left in the bathroom, with a knocked over stall wall. Oops on that one! Deciding not to debate on that particular bit, she nods her head slowly, being very much okay with being... not here. Anywhere but collapsed by a toiled all bloody. She's pretty sure that she's alarmed a lot of people, but that's AMP sometimes. Thank goodness that she is pretty lightweight. Well, except for those two. Those two! Two! &amp;quot;Sorry,&amp;quot; she whispers, smiling a little embarrassed at the thought of having scared Rio. Finding herself laid out proper before long, she can only ask of two things right away, &amp;quot;..need more blood. Packs are okay,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;...please make sure blinds are shut all the way.&amp;quot; Mm, yes, unfiltered sunlight in particular would do her no favors, right now. &amp;quot;I will be okay.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio nods and leans down to peck Alice on the cheek then stands up a little wobbly and heads out of the room to find blood.  You would THINK in a hospital that would be easy but it takes her a good 30 minutes before she comes back in victorious.  She closes the door to the room then sets the ice chest blood keeper near Alice.  She moves over to turn all the blinds closed and to draw the heavy curtains closed as well.. and then... screw it... she crawls into the bed with Alice and lays her head down on the pillow.  It's sleepy Chief time.  What a day... ugh... tired...  she'll like Alice get the blood.. It's within reach.  &amp;quot;There....&amp;quot; she whispers and then gets comfy and just passes out like a candle flame snuffed out...&lt;br /&gt;

INT. DEPUTY CHIEF RIO'S OFFICE - DAY&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
Deputy Chief Kinezono's Office(#5824R)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You are currently in Chief Rio Kinezono's cluttered office, a wretched hive of scum and villainy, or at least that's what she claims.  Speaking of claims, there's a pile of them that makes her desk look like the skyline of Chicago.  The second thing you might notice is that her office has carpet unlike most of the rest of the station.  It is a deep blue and of the fabric type that bare feet appreciate when they are sore.  A decorative ceiling fan spins lazily over the desk rustling the papers stacked on it.  Behind the desk is Rio's high back leather chair and behind that is a bay window overlooking the city.  Two more chairs sit in front of the desk.  The wall to your right has a plaque and several framed photos hangin around it.  A potted plant sits in the corner, right of the bay window.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Exits   : (O)ut(#5826E) ]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Players : Yuji(#2861PBC) ]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Things  : Filing Cabinet(#7677) (Unlocked), Intercomm(#5966), Bay Window(Fake), Chairs(Fake), Leather Chair(Fake), Pictures(Fake), and Potted Plant(Fake) ]&lt;br /&gt;
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
It's been a few days since the Chinese gunmen had shot up the theater during the world premiere of Maggie Cheung's 'Goddess of Guns' motion picture.  The milk run babysitting duty Yuji and Rio had volunteered to be in charge of had gone from boring to HOLY HELL in five seconds.  Someone had come for the Chinese starlet.  After the gun smoke had settled there were dozens of wounded civvies with one dead at the scene and a total of four dead bad guys and one critically injured.  Six other suspects had avoided capture by using what was believed to be the sewer system.  No trace of them had been found since that night.   The helicopter that had been captured by Hellboy had proven thus far to be a dead end.  The vehicle had no registration and none of the parts on board were traceable back to any manufacturing plant.  The only lead left now was the female Chinese pilot that Hellboy had roughed up badly.  She was under lockdown and 24/7 police guard at the NT General Hospital.  The two who lived the fight were now hanging out in Chief Rio's office discussing something of great importance... DATENIGHT.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Yes.. I know I promised a date but I haven't approved it yet with Alice.  And don't think this is an invitation to anything but good food and company!&amp;quot; She eyed the other officer suspiciously.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa whistles innocently. &amp;quot;The thought never crossed my mind.&amp;quot; .. o 0(dammit)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Uh huh. Riiiiiiight you horndog!   Anyway, I'll get it squared away with her soon okay?  How's the hand?  You stall crying like a baby?  I mean you took a little wound but my skirt was murdered!  I had to get a new one and that cost money I didn't have....&amp;quot; she whined and pouted.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa can't seem to help talking shop. &amp;quot;So heard any more about the sentient trafficking that's going on?&amp;quot; He looks at his bandaged hand &amp;quot;It's fine, I needed a new shirt though. and you know what a pain getting them properly badged up is&amp;quot; He sighs. &amp;quot;Money Trouble again Rio. How do you manage that on a Chief's pay?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio looked really guilty and shrank in her chair a little.  &amp;quot;Hey... I have like 12 years of debt to pay off here!   And I am not in trouble I just don't like extra expenses that I shouldn't of had in the first place!  Gimme a break here!   Hey.. Rio, you want to babysit for some extra cash?  Sure boss lady!&amp;quot;  She spins around in her plush highback chair making machinegun sounds and finally kicks her long legs up on the desk and leaning back.  &amp;quot;World War three suddenly breaks out!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;And no.  I haven't been keeping up on the sentient trafficking case.  Not my case.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;Apparrently some goons with red eyes are kidnapping 'living collectables' Mostly Ponies it seems, Patrol was told to be on the lookout. The Cabbitplex was a mess... learn anything more about it? Investigation won't tell me squat.&amp;quot; He loses Rio's gaze for a moment as he admires her legs, and then looks her back in the eye. &amp;quot;I heard CSU found something interesting though Iris Kara still talks to me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Well the weapons and ammo that bad guys used at the theater is untraceable.  The helicopter we have sitting up in the maintenance bay the bad guys used is untraceable.  We haven't gotten squat on the dead guys in the morgue.  It's like they never exist on Earth and were like born in some vat in a crazy Chinese mad scientists lab and then unleashed on the world.  I mean did you see those guys out there?  They had no fear at all.  They were serious as hell.   We've had investigators pressing Mister Cheung for info about who the bad guys would be but he says he doesn't know.  I mean what kind of crazy asshole shoots up a theater and tries to whack or kidnap the star?   My money is on Chinese triads trying to make a quick buck by kidnapping some rich guy's little girl and extorting him for cash but even the triads aren't that crazy.   We've sent out some bat signals to the Hong Kong police to see what they got on these guys but haven't heard back from them yet.&amp;quot;  She re-crossed her legs, staring at the ceiling and then looked at Yuji suddenly.  &amp;quot;Wait.. ponies?  Sentient ponies?&amp;quot;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa Nods repeatedly, looking at Rio's legs again as she crosses them &amp;quot;Phew. Maybe they come from out of the badlands or something. CSU found some DNA and fingerprints but it was from the Private contractor who helped us. Hong Kong, Beijing, maybe someone knows something but MY money is on the otherdimensional. You've been on the street you know the crazy shit that drops in. Hell now we're getting Angels visiting. The Tank Police could do anything until the Evangelion thingies ripped open it's funky force field.&amp;quot; Then he nods repeatedly and sighs &amp;quot;Yeah, latest newcomers in town. I met one that claims to be a soldier in some sort of Royal Guard and I've heard there's others about from the rumours going around Patrol. This City man, nothing fazes me anymore.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio's left eye twitches at the thought of talking horses.. in the city.  &amp;quot;You are totally pulling my skirt!  TALKING PONIES!?  Just.... no!   Nope!&amp;quot;  She was still phased by stuff, especially weird ass stuff that should not exist!  She just shook her head then perked up.  &amp;quot;I watched the footage of that EVA thingie fighting that Angel thingie downtown.  That was bad ass!  Like Robot Jocks... only it didn't suck!  I am still amazed there were no causalities in that fight, only property damage.  I keep trying to remind myself why I come to work every day?  Terrorists is one thing but giant robots .. and now apparently TALKING horses.. that is another thing!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa grins &amp;quot;I kid you not, met one myself. They seem harmless enough. not sure what Crime they COULD do.&amp;quot; he shrugs. &amp;quot;I still find work to do. There's all kinds of evil the Giant Robots can't and don't deal with. I'll take your word for the Badassery. I was off duty that day thank goodness. But yeah talking horses and people kidnapping them. This City...&amp;quot; he shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio laughs at the absurdity of it all and then suddenly her door bursts open and Rio goes falling backwards out of her chair as she's startled.  Fan service for Yuji ensues.  Oh!  They are Teal colored today!   It's Sergeant Biggles in all his rounded belly police glory.  He looked out of breath, taking a moment to catch his breath.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sgt. Danalli Biggles gasped and wheezed... he was so going to die of a heart attack for sure.  &amp;quot;Chief!  You won't believe it!  I don't believe it!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio gathered herself up off the floor looking annoyed.  &amp;quot;Believe what?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa's eyes were NOT on biggles for long moments. Then he too looks over at the sargeant. &amp;quot;What's up Sarge?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sgt. Danalli Biggles stabbed a thumb back over his shoulder.  &amp;quot;Dispatch just got the call from the hospital.  Code 187 on that Chinese lady pilot suspect!  The one we've had under constant guard!  She's dead as a doornail.  Officers there responded to the nurse screaming when she went into the room.  When they got in there lady was dead.  Had a pretty smile carved into her throat!  They said wasn't anything out of place!   They heard noth'n!  Saw noth'n!  No windows broken.  No noth'n!  Just one dead suspect and a whole lotta WTFs!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio sighed and thumped her head, face first down on the desk.  &amp;quot;Jezz... you had ONE job guys!  ONE JOB!  How the hell-!?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;I tell you Chief I still think there's an other dimensional element here. Maybe super ninjas&amp;quot; He pauses &amp;quot;So...we checking out the crime scene?&amp;quot;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officers run by in the hallway outside as things pick up with the announcement of the 187 at the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Super Ninjas?  What the hell is a super ninja!?&amp;quot; she stared blankly at Yuji.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa nods at Rio. Not much to say at this point. He settles his gun belt and straightens up a little bit. Putting on his duty face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;It's probably one of those new talking ponies with a shank in it's mouth!  UGH!  I quit.  You become police chief!  I'm so done...&amp;quot; She sighed then opened the drawer of her desk and pulled our her service weapon and strapped it on to her leg then she put on her Boob-Window jacket and button it up.  There's the lovely lift factor Yuji has come to know and love so well.  &amp;quot;I guess we'll go check it out.  Forensics on the way?&amp;quot; She asked to Biggles.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sgt. Danalli Biggles says, &amp;quot;Yeah.  I think so.&amp;quot;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio looked at Yuji.  &amp;quot;Maybe if it is Psychic Killer Shanking Death Ninja Ponies we could use someone from the AMP to give the room a sweep?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa nods &amp;quot;I hear the AMP has it's own worries. Iris again, she also runs intelligence.&amp;quot; he does give Rio a look that's not in the eye &amp;quot;I think we could handle death ninja ponies&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Are you sure!?  Are you really SURE!?&amp;quot; She huffed and flicked her pony-tail back then saunter those hips out of the office.  &amp;quot;Biggles, let them know Yuji and I are going to be on scene shortly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sgt. Danalli Biggles says, &amp;quot;You got it Chief!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Come on loverboy.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa grins lopsidely, he loves it when she talks naughty to him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CUT TO:  INT. 1ST FLOOR HALLWAY - POLICE TOWN&lt;br /&gt;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
1st Floor Hallways(#5813R)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Welcome to the maze of hallways that compose floor one.  The floor is made of white black speckled tile and the ceiling of white asbestos fiberboard.  Fluorescent lights are placed every ten feet, hidden behind plastic maintenance covers.  There are fire sprinklers between each of the ceiling tiles that hold the lights.  You can also notice places where emergency bulkheads can come slamming down to secure the floor encase of emergencies.  These areas are marked on the floor with black and yellow striped emergency bars with the word &amp;quot;DANGER&amp;quot; written under the bars.  The walls are painted half blue, half beige in color.  Brown signs with white lettering help to direct you to the various places of interest on this floor.  There are signs that lead you to the detective offices, the bookings department, briefing rooms, the cafeteria and the elevators.  Also located in the maze are two offices side by side with gold plaques on them.  One reads, &amp;quot;Deputy Chief Rio Kinezono&amp;quot; while the other reads &amp;quot;Captain Sherry Charis.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[Things  : None ]&lt;br /&gt;
----------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A cute little red headed female officer comes down the hallway with a huge stack of papers.  &amp;quot;Chief!  The damage claims from that Angel thingie are in and-&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa groans. &amp;quot;I'm So glad I'm not on a desk&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Put it on my desk!  I'm out on duty!  I'll burn them in the fires of my rage when I get back!&amp;quot; She shot off as she walked by the girl who responded with a sharp, &amp;quot;YES MA'AM!&amp;quot;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio looks at Yuji as she walks and says, &amp;quot;If it is killer ninja Psychic death ponies you owe me dinner!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa grins. &amp;quot;But only if it's exactly that. if it's like Squid or something then you owe me&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Deal!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CUT TO: EXT. VEHICLE GARAGE - DAY&lt;br /&gt;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
You are standing in the underground vehicle garage.  This low ceiling concrete poured cavern is where all the police cruisers, HUMVEEs, APCs and patrol motorcycles are parked.  Steel reinforced concrete pillars give support for this place every ten feet. Fluorescent lights are attached to all four sides of each pillar to light up the garage to some degree.  A vehicle ramp leads up to the surface and has a two foot thick steel garage door than can close to secure this place from outside intrusions.  The door's status is controlled by a digital pad inside a tiny booth that is always manned by an officer.  In the opposite direction you can drive vehicles through an archway to the maintenance bay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;You drive.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio tosses Yuji the keys to the patrol car.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa gets in and starts up the Thunderbird, reving it's high performance engine and making sure to turn on the undercarriage lights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio hops in herself and buckles up, adjusting the seat belt so it doesn't murder her big breasts.  She snags the CB ready mic and keys up, &amp;quot;Car...what car are we?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa looks at the id number on the dash. &amp;quot;54&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Not this car!  This car is evil!  UGH!&amp;quot;  She keys up again.  &amp;quot;Car 54, in route to NT General.&amp;quot; She let's off the mic nods to Yuji.  &amp;quot;Punch it Chewie.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa peals out, he's a very skilled driver but not necessarily a 'good' one. Instead he pushes his skill and the car's performance to the limits dodging and weaving through traffic with the lights on and siren blaring.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CUT TO:  KUWAMARU STREET - OUTSIDE NT GENERAL&lt;br /&gt;
----------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
The rather plain-faced building of the NeoTokyo General Hospital is built along this road, its sides painted with a large red cross. An interesting assortment of structures are situated along this road. Firmly embedded in the earth here is the Spirit Gate of Earth, one of five shrines like it situated throughout NeoTokyo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

-------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio looks at the maniac behind the wheel.  &amp;quot;Why are we Code 3?  Do you think the dead body is going to run away before we get there!?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa comes to a screaching halt at the hospital and just grins like an orthodontist commercial. &amp;quot;Only way to fly&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio feels the G-forces as the car comes to a halt from 60 to 0 in just a few seconds.  Her boobs bounce from the sudden stop.  Rio gave him a deadly glare.  &amp;quot;You are an idiot sometimes....&amp;quot;  She unfastened her seatbelt and got out of the car.  There were already other cars here, lights flashing every where.  Yep, the boys from Forensics were here already.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa nods as Rio notes the presence of CSU &amp;quot;Iris will probably be checking up on them&amp;quot; he doesn't answer the 'idiot' comment but he's still grinning over the drive. Yuji takes his fun where he can.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio slides her tonfu into it's holder and adjusts her uniform and then with a huffy sigh heads into the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CUT TO: INT. NEOTOKYO GENERAL HOSPITAL&lt;br /&gt;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
The main lobby of the NeoTokyo General Hospital opens before you, a wing of matching chairs and couches on either side of the room. Directly in front of the automatic doors that serve as an entrance and exit is the reception desk, an octagonal barrier of rose pink mica surrounding the built in desks. A door leading down a long hallway is on either side of the desk, one labeled &amp;quot;Emergency Room&amp;quot;, the other &amp;quot;Out Patients&amp;quot;. Beside the left waiting area are the metal doors of an elevator; near the right one is a set of stairs leading upwards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[Players : Anne_Saga(#13815XZ) (Puppet) ]&lt;br /&gt;
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
Yuji walks in from the street.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yuji has arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;I'm telling you.. there are going to be ghostly hove prints all over the room!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;I'll laugh if it's tentacle suckers.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Maaaaan this sucks so bad!  ARGH!  Damn it!  This suspect was like our last best hope for mankind!&amp;quot; She says in that movie narrator voice.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;I think the room is upstairs.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;I know where the room is dork!  I was here when the put her in the intensive care.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio slaps the button on the elevator and waits for it to come down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa Shrugs and follows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;So if Alice approves the dinner date.  Where are you taking me?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;There's a place in tokyo 3. out of our jurisdiction so nothing to put us back to work. Rooftop view of the city. snooty Maitre de. the works.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio brightens up a bit.  DING!  The elevator opens.  She walks as she says, &amp;quot;Oh!  You aren't an idiot!  I take it back!  Good thinking!  A quiet dinner is just what the doctor called for.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You step into the elevator.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa smiles and waits for the other shoe to drop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio slaps the button to get to the floor the now deceased suspect is on.  As the floors tick away Rio continues to the 20 questions about the hypothetical date night.  &amp;quot;So this place is a French restaurant?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;I think they try to cater to a number of cuisines.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Variety!  The spice of life!&amp;quot;  DING!  The elevator opens.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You step out onto the second floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yuji steps out of the elevator.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;all expensive though. I heard their morocan cherry sauce steak is to die for. and the choclate brownie well make dates go very well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
---------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
Iris_Kara(#14273PBC)&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara (or so her nametag claims) is wearing the 'Traditional' NTPD miniskirt and pushup vest. It is topped with a long sleeved tunic that descends nearly to the hem of her skirt. The tunic is trimmed the gold braid of an NTPD Captain. The bottle green outfit is visibly feminine, with a green micro-skirt and a white dress shirt with a scarlet cravat. Olive opaque tights and a pair of black dress shoes complete this outfit. She holds herself rather shyly, and would probably blush intensely if you noticed you scoping out the way the uniform flatters her legs and enhances her rather average bust. All in all she'd be quite pretty if it weren't for the way she constantly scrubs at her right eye, almost as if it was in pain&lt;br /&gt;
---------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Captain Kara.  How are things going here?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara has the whole floor cordoned off but you can tell which room has the body by the number of cops taking photos and running cotton swabs over the walls. She looks over at the chief and Yuji and scrubs at her right eye like she usually does when she's upset &amp;quot;Chief the whole world was in here trying to ressusitate her. I'm having to take disqualifying prints from half the staff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa waves casually to the Captain &amp;quot;Hey Iris&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Resuscitate?  How do you do that when the victim's throat has been slit from side to side?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;At least that's what Sergeant Biggles said happened.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara sighs exasperated,&amp;quot;Apparently the feel obliged to try. emergency bandages all over the wound, blood, More blood, pumped onto the walls by CPR .... It's untidy as hell&amp;quot; Untidy seems to be a swear word for the good captain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Ew.... do I even want to go into that room?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;I know I don't&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara shrugs &amp;quot;I'll have to get disqualifying prints and sample from you too. but you're free to investigate. You're the Chief.&amp;quot; She rubs her right eye again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;You okay?&amp;quot; She stares at Iris.  She totally forgot she rubs her eye.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara hmmms? &amp;quot;I'm ...fine. just a stress habit. Damn cyber eye gives me fidgets when I'm upset&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio patted Iris on the shoulder.  &amp;quot;Relax Captain.  This entire cast has been foobar from the beginning.  I kind of expected this to happen.  Maybe we need to get one of those crazy Psychic cops in here to sweep the place?  I mean, there is ZERO physical evidence of a break-in here Captain?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara throws up her hands &amp;quot;I don't know yet. there's too much evidence of CPR and panicked running around. So far though, no joy. The room is sealed there was a guard on the door. Regular suicide checks... This shouldn't have happened.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa Idly watches legs while pretending to listen. Kara's are nice too. Too bad she's DC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio walked over to the door to room 202 and peered around the edge and regretted it.  There was blood everywhere; on the ceiling, on the floor, on the walls and the white sheets of the bed were soaked red.  Rio forgot how much blood was in the human body but apparently every drop of it was no longer inside the suspect.  She quickly walked away from the door.  &amp;quot;Oh.. my.. God.... how do you guys deal with that stuff!?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara says, &amp;quot;With tweezers and UV usually.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa appears quite happy to stay where he is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;So... no break in.   The patient was fine one moment.. dead the next.  No sound from the room.   Did they sneak in through a vent like a bad action movie?&amp;quot;  There is no way as the vents are not HUGE gaping tunnels like Hollyweird always shows.  Just regular air vents.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;They'd need rope.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Iris_Kara pages, &amp;quot;is there anything CSU could have found? loose screws? elongated finger prints. Rope?&amp;quot; to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You page, &amp;quot;So far, jack and shit is there.  Not going to find any useable prints either.  Who ever did this was bad ass super pro.&amp;quot; to Iris_Kara.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Yuji thinks it was robot ninjas from another dimension.   I say it was magical ponies with shanks.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara sighs &amp;quot;No rope, rope fibres or anything of the sort. Vents are secure and the screws look like they've been untouched for years. Their HVAC system must be FULL of dust. No bridles or engine oil either. Whoever did this was like a ghost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa sneezes at the mention of dust.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Maybe it was a ghost.  Like I said, we need one of our clairvoyant officers in here maybe?  I mean I am totally freak'n out of answers!   Someone murdered this lady because they didn't want her to talk about the hit on Maggie Cheung I am pretty sure... if it was a hit.  Could have been a kidnapping too.  We just don't know!  ARGH!  I am going to start drinking!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara says, &amp;quot;Well if it's any help intelligence is going over comics manga and movies to see if there's any identifiable pattern. Of course intelligence has it's own worries. I need to talk to AMP about a rogue mage. I wish we had a clairvoyant. the only real edge we have in forensics is my cyber eye.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Man... freak'n AMP needs to get to hiring some people!   Hey!  Wait!  What about the Mage's Guild?  Don't they have like magic or something that can divine stuff?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara pauses &amp;quot;They...might. Mind you they're in a bit of tizzy over a rogue world ending mage. Who may or may not be in the city. Hence AMP.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;World ending mages...  Magic shanking ponies... Freddy Kruger nightmares in the hospital....  Captain, would you like to take over as chief?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara LaUGHS &amp;quot;Not on your life. I regret letting them put me in a green uniform as it is.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa goes back to admiring legs. So many officers in short NTPD issue skirts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Yuji...&amp;quot; she coughs.  This woman has pervert radar or something.  &amp;quot;Got make yourself useful and go question the two cops that were on the door when all this went down.&amp;quot;  The officers we're currently resting back against the wall looking really really bummed out that someone they were guarding has gotten whacked.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa sighs &amp;quot;Aye Aye Chief&amp;quot; and goes over to have a quiet confab with the two guards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;So Captain, it's been a while.  I mean.. not a while while.  I mean.. it's technically been 12 years since I talked to you with this whole crazy.. time what ever displacement thingie we all experienced.   Are you doing okay?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara nods &amp;quot; I guess. I regret accepting promotion but I'm coping with the workload. And well... what we do is worthwile&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa continues his sotto vocce conversation with the two guards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Hey.. do you really want to be out there having holes shot through your favorite skirt?&amp;quot; She grinned at the pretty robocop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara says, &amp;quot;Errr no. but I once had a less crowded desk.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa nods and gestures engaging the officers fully. somehow it looks like he's saying &amp;quot;It was THIS big&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Tell you what... anytime you feel overwhelmed.. you come to my office.. and look at my desk and then you won't feel so bad about your desk.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara says, &amp;quot;Snrrk. I told you a I didn't want your job.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;I know but if you see my suffering maybe your suffering won't be so bad!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa meanwhile has his log book out and is scribling notes. or maybe a quick sketch of something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You page, &amp;quot;They really don't have ANYTHING to give.   The lady was alive one minute when a nurse went in and came out.. Then about six minutes later, same nurse came back went in screamed bloody murder and the cops burst in and blood all over the place.&amp;quot; to Yuji.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa finally takes some more notes after showing the other two his doodle. and comes back to report. &amp;quot;Zip Zilch Nada...Niente&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara says, &amp;quot;You have a point. It's better than watching corporal for life Nariwasa whistle through his day.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio slaps Yuji on the shoulder as he walks up and heard that statement most likely.  &amp;quot;Ah, Yuji looooves his position.   He gets to stare at legs all day.. DON'T you Yuuuuji~?&amp;quot; She smirked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;actually I do like being a beat cop.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara says, &amp;quot;Just in case you've forgotten Yuji, not interested don't swing that way.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A vision of crimson red eyes appears before you, from which a reflection of Alice within catch! BITE! Oh god, finally free of obligations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Ooooooo!  Another sweet young thing taken off the table by the dark side of the Force.  Poor Yuji.&amp;quot;  Pats him on the back.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa sighs &amp;quot;Such is life. Anyhow yeah the guards didn't notice thing. one check and everything is fine a few minutes later the nurse goes in an all hell breaks loose. but no perp.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio sighed, spun around on her heel and fell back against the wall, folding her arms under chest and looking annoyed.  &amp;quot;Ghost Hunters!  Where are you!?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara says, &amp;quot;We're working on it. If there's ANYTHING we'll find it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara says, &amp;quot;I'm about ready to drill holes in the walls and take core samples.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Drilling in the walls?  What are you going to find drilling random holes in the walls?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara throws up her hands. &amp;quot;probably nothing but it's all I got left maybe there will be lingering radiation or chemical staining.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Radiation?  So a radioactive killer robot ninja magic shanking pony is now to blame for all this?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara says, &amp;quot;Well no hoofmarks some I'm willing to rule out ponies for the moment. Ponies? and well I'm grasping at straws here. Someone should have left SOMETHING behind. it's basic rule of forsenics.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Yeah.. but this is Neo-Tokyo captain... the city where Angels blow holes in the city, magic talking ponies are a thing and uber mages are trying to end the world.  I think someone could theoretically just teleport into the room, slice this woman a new one then teleport out.  That's why I want a goddamn AMP officer with powers to sweep the damn room but they're under staffed, out to lunch or on vacation!&amp;quot;  She hit her fist against the wall.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara says, &amp;quot;Well talk to AMP. they can only say no.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio picked up her CB mic off her left shoulder and keyed up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;Indeed The other Chief has got to have something?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Police&amp;gt; Rio says, &amp;quot;Dispatch. Do we have any AMP officers alive and able to respond to this 187 at the hospital, over?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Police&amp;gt; Chief this is Dispatch AMP officer en route to your location.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Police&amp;gt; Rio says, &amp;quot;Thank youuuuuuu~ Out!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Finally.  Jezzz.. remind me to send in a budget expansion request for the AMP to hire more officers!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You page, &amp;quot;PHTPTHPTHTP.. also.. I shrank both hands 10%.. NO MORE.&amp;quot; to Alice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Police&amp;gt; Officer Arisaka says, &amp;quot;Arisaka copies, Dispatch. Enroute to NT General.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Ah ha!   I totally forgot my girlf... er.. Alice is on the AMP varsity squad.  This should be good then!  She's good at her job.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corporal Nariwasa says, &amp;quot;I suppose that's good.&amp;quot; and mutters something... it could have been cockblockula but might have just been a cough.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;I'll go meet and greet her.  Stay here with the captain and make sure no one else messes up the room more than it should be...&amp;quot; She slaps the elevator button and hops in once it arrives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CUT TO:  EXT. KUWAMARU STREET&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio walks out of the hospital and scans the area for the wayward AMP officer on call.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Police&amp;gt; Officer Arisaka says, &amp;quot;Arisaka is onsite at NT General. Over.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Arisaka is onside at NT General. Over,&amp;quot; said officer speaks into her radio, standing outside a police cruiser near a noisy bottle-green Thunderbolt. Turning her head towards the hospital entrance a short distance away, she spots a very familiar sight. Oh, well, well, now. Smiling a little amusedly at her luck, Alice starts making her way over towards her deputy chief who appears to be looking for someone...? She clears her throat, mostly at herself, one hand adjusting her glasses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio waves as she see's Alice getting out of her car and talking on her mic.  She had a mind to be a smart ass and reply on the radio even though Alice was in visual distance but she refrained for once.  Good girl Rio!  You can be a grown up for once!  &amp;quot;Officer Arisaka.  How nice of you to join us.  Glad to see the AMP could pull you out of their dusty closet and send over to us.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bottle Green Thunderbolt says, &amp;quot;PLEASE STEP AWAY FROM THE CAR&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka's look would have been so priceless, Rio would have had better had her phonecam out. Unless bodycams are already in place. Details! Nearly jumping in repeat surprise as the Thunderbolt repeats its proximity warning, very much out loud, she has half a mind to cite the owner. Ugh. &amp;quot;Thank you, Deputy Chief,&amp;quot; she nods once she's closed the distance, &amp;quot;How may I be of assistance?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Our suspect from the theater shoot out is up on the 20th floor with her throat sliced clean open.  Every once of blood she had is on the floor, wall or ceiling.  Foresincs can't seem to find their dick in the dark so... I asked if an AMP cop could spin by and give the room a once over.  I mean there is ZERO evidence of break in.  Or best theory right now is it's robotic ninja death shanking ponies from another dimension.&amp;quot; She stares at Alice dead serious... but... she can't keep a straight face and laughs and just slaps her on the shoulder and puts an arm around said shoulders and walks with her toward the hospital.  &amp;quot;Actually..  with no physical evidence we thought MMMMAYBE... just maybe magic was used?  Maybe someone teleported in and out again in the time span it took to kill this suspect.  All I know is they were silenced so they couldn't talk to us.   Think you can work some vodoo that you do and get SOMETHING for us?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka has about a good a poker face as one can be for the duration of her briefing. She only blinks once while she listens, and is a little surprised that forensics would be having so much trouble. Not to mention no signs of a breakin? She was about to say something, maybe even ask, but as the mood suddenly lightens, for the better she feels, she leans somewhat against Rio as she walks with her. &amp;quot;It's quite possible. Are there any other wounds on the victim? Signs of blood having exited from the mouth, nose, ears, or any orifices?&amp;quot; She then tilts her head, &amp;quot;Was this suspect not under guard? Or was is a completely silent, undetected kill?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio walks along with Alice, arm around her shoulder still.  &amp;quot;Two of our boys were on the door at all times.  Nurse went in to the room.  No problem.  Came back to the room six minutes later, screams bloody murder.  Cops bust in.  Bloody nightmare all over the place.  I ummmm....  I peaked in but bloody messes like this are not my thing.  It's nightmare fuel.   I think there is only one wound, the throat slash from what everyone has said.   I'll let you go look at the grizzly details.&amp;quot;  She slaps the elevator call button and waits.  &amp;quot;Other than that I got nothing else to give you.  Talk to Captain Kara upstairs for more.&amp;quot;  She gets into the elevator with Alice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You step into the elevator.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio pushes the 20th floor and waits for the door to slide closed then leans in to peck Alice on the cheek.  &amp;quot;Glad you are here.  I've missed you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka mms, thoughtful for most of the walk to the elevator. She thinks that she is going to have to look upon the crime scene for herself. She's going to need gloves, most likely. Nodding softly in acknowledgement as her being filled in concludes, she waits to step into the elevator, maintaining her composture, until the doors close. Smiling then as she squeezes an arm around Rio's waist she whispers, &amp;quot;I'm happy that we can work together, finally. I've missed you, too.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alice steps out onto the 2nd floor&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You step out onto the second floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio steps out after Alice into the floor that is bustling with police and forensics teams.  Standing in the hallway talking to some of her team is Captain Iris Kara.  Yuji is off paling it up with some other officers and checking out the nurses when they pass through.  The hospital still has to keep running.  The room is 2002 if one couldn't tell by the crime scene tape that had been strung up around the door but the threshold left open for officers to move back and forth.  &amp;quot;I'm sooooooo not going to go in there with you or else you will have to cuddle me to sleep like for nine weeks straight,&amp;quot; Rio grinned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka is at first a little taken aback by all the police activity. It reminds her of how suddenly she's been thrust back into her old life prior to the great collapse. Captain Kara would be the first person to ask any further questions, she agrees. She eyes Yuji in passing. Of course the wacky old lech would be here, ever on Rio's tail. She can't help but roll her eyes with a small degree of amusement at how much things have stayed the same. &amp;quot;It's okay,&amp;quot; she whispers aside to Rio, smiling rather confidently despite herself, mentally preparing herself for the nightmare scene waiting ahead, before stopping before Iris and straightening to salute, &amp;quot;AMP Officer Arisaka reporting in, Captain. Deputy Chief Kinezono has filled me in and I am here to assist with the investigation.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Kara turned from the two who was talking to and saluted the young vampire officer back.  &amp;quot;It's all yours.  We can't get any real evidence out of here.  The scene was pretty contaminated by all the medical people trying to save the suspects life but I think all they did was ruin what evidence we could have.  Deputy Chief seems to think maybe one of you AMP types can divine something from the crime scene.  Give it a go and let us all know if you found something.  Watch your step in there.  It's a pretty big mess.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka stands at attention while she listens, waiting for the Captain to finish before nodding quickly. &amp;quot;Will do, Captain,&amp;quot; she salutes before turning towards the room in question. Turning to Rio as she starts towards it, she asks, &amp;quot;How long has it been since our suspect was killed?&amp;quot; How long the victim has been dead is rather important to her, given her options. She takes in a long, deep breath, steeling herself for what she may be about to see. Stay calm, Alice. This is just like before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio held up two fingers.  &amp;quot;Two hours, give or take a few minutes.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka just about nearly blanches. Ugh, dead blood! She can already feel that this is going to be unpleasant. Swallowing deeply, she straighens once more, and at the threshold to room 2002, she turns to smile once more time at Rio before disappearing into the room and the horrors that lay within.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CUT TO:  ROOM 2002 - NT GENERAL&lt;br /&gt;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
This is one of the hospital rooms in the hospital. Just like outside, the walls are painted white, the air smells of antiseptics, and the floor is clean. There is a large hospital bed, complete with electronic controls. Two couches, one table, a television set, a really small kitchen, and a refrigerator are also present. There is also a door leading to the lavatory.&lt;br /&gt;
[Exits   : (O)ut(#6329E) ]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Players : Alice(#13238PC) ]&lt;br /&gt;
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
A team is busy drilling a core sample out of the sheetrock wall near the bed.  There is one female victim in the hospital bed.  She is Chinese, no overly unpleasant about the face if it wasn't for the fact that it was pale white, drained of almost all color with the loss of blood and death having set in for two hours.  Her throat has neatly cut slice that is deep.  The white sheet of the bed are a sticky gore red now.  Blood has pooled on the floor and more of it is slung up the walls and to the ceiling.  Perhaps from a single blade swipe probably comes to mind given your skill with a katana.  There appears to be no broken windows and the air vents are far to small for any normal person to get into the room from.  The victim's eyes are closed which suggests they died in their sleep perhaps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka's eyes vanish behind the ghastly reflection off her glasses for a moment, with a hand involuntarily cupping over her mouth as she takes the scene in. Perhaps it's a good thing that they did, lest someone really see just how horrified she is, but only for that moment. Taking in another slow, deep breath, this time to purposefully take in the room's scent, ugly or no, her eyes dart from the victim, to the ceiling and floors, then to each wall. Returning to the stiff, they focus on her throat wound and she steps closer. By the looks of all the blood present, it does mean to her that it was no joke that the victim may have been competely drained. Not to mention that it would not be kosher of her to simply grab the dead woman and sink her teeth into her. Instead, she turns to ask someone for a vial. A vial and an eyedropper. She looks upon the blood pooling on the floor. Blood, yes, that is what she needs. She is so not looking forward to it, but it is exactly what she needs at this moment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the scientists in the room looks at Alice with a weird expression then hands her one of the vials of the crimson ichor.  &amp;quot;Here you are.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka hmms, an eyebrow raised as there is a sample already at her disposal. She does hope they're not going to need it again anytime soon, because... besides, they can gather more, with how abundant it seems to be. The smell, though. &amp;quot;Thank you,&amp;quot; she nods to them before holding the vial up in front of her face, slowly rolling it between her fingers. What secrets might this person's essence divulge, she wonders. There is so little blood, but she knows that she can collect more. Well, then, realizing that there is no use in stalling, as this isn't getting any fresher, she quickly uncaps the vial, and bracing herself, it's down the hatch in one quick shot! Urgh! She can even feel herself go pale, clapping her hand over her mouth again as she fights the desperate gag reflex, crouching down to collect more from the nearest pool to refill the vial. Ugh!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lady who gave Alice the vial stares wide eyed as the vampire downs the dead cocktail in one gulp.  She looks like she's going to be sick to and quickly gets up and runs out of the room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka shudders, squeezing her eyes shut at just how. Bloody. Disgusting. this is. She's going to be so very sick, she knows. It's better to get it over with! Need more essence! Need more blood. And here comes a second shot. Slam!! This one she very nearly coughs out, but manages to force it in. Gasping raggedly for breath, she fills the vial once again and downs a third, choking after it goes down, and her body shudders for a moment before she has stop to really try and catch her breath, tears beginning to stream down her eyes by now. A little more, just a little more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The memories start to come in finally, played back in reverse sequence at flashback speed; Surgery, the ride in the ICU ambulance, Hellboy beating the ever living crap out of her with those big rock fists of his, the shooting, the sound of rounds hitting the chopper, more shooting, the in route flight with the men on board preparing, radio chatter in Chinese (which can be given to you if you speak Chinese), loading up on helicopter pad on the back of a ship at sea, more chatter in Chinese as the crew and the shooters load up...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka doubles over, her eyes flying open, and she gags loudly. This... is not something that she is used to. Oh, if only this blood could have been fresh. She hopes that, next time, they will call her sooner! Coughing blood into her hand, her vision a blurry haze, she flumbles a little with the vial to scoop up another shot, and down that one goes. Then another. And another! More! The more blood, the more power. She feels truly, horribly sick, now, and she would be happier with the respite offered as she becomes able to see, to play out the victim's memories. Oh. Joy. Chinese!! She is briefly, very briefly thankful that it's at least a language that she speaks! While she did not know a lick of Chinese before this whole world caved in on itself, that changed over the decade she had lived in Metropolis. Mostly Cantonese, but still with a generous amount of Mandarin, all thanks to her teammates from that time. It's enough to drive her to collect and down another shot, then another, then she doubles over again. No, Alice, don't throw up. Don't throw it up! Contain!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;We're taking to much fire!  Aborting!&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;The Devil is in my chopper!  HELP!  NO!&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;Roger that, our ETA is 5 minutes to the zone Lockbox.  Don't move until we're in position!&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;Let's go!  Mister X wants the girl by the end of the evening or else we don't get paid!  Chopper is firing up in two and we are out in 5!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only a few more flashbacks come in reverse sequence; Gun range, weapons training, running, PT courses, a medical room, lights shined in the eyes.  &amp;quot;Do you know who you are?&amp;quot; the doctor says.  Head shake, NO.  &amp;quot;Good.  You are who you say we are.  She's ready for programming.  Take her to room 2.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After that.. darkness... nothing more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka's hand trembles as she fumbles to fill the vial once more, but she can't. The vial falls out from between her fingers and she claps both hands tighly over her mouth, squeezing tearful eyes shut, and she rocks in place, crouched down where she is. Focus. That is all she can do, now, focus. She's managed to keep it all down, and she'd be more surprised at this amazing feat of hers if she didn't feel the room spinning. She needs blood, fresh blood. No, she needs... she doesn't know what she needs. She just needs to leave this room, and as the memories flood with darkness, she can feel it enveloping it, as well. Losing her grip on herself for a moment and coughing up blood into her hands, she gasps again for breath and holds up one hand to any remaining staff in a weak attempt to assure them that, yes, she's alright. Liar. No, not yet, the darkness can't take her yet. She needs to get out of here. She stumbles out of the room, thankfully managing to not knock anything or anyone over. Maybe she'll pat herself on the back later for holding together this well. Maybe when she feels not so utterly sick. Maybe after she has reported her findings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CUT TO: 20TH FLOOR - NT GENERAL&lt;br /&gt;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
This is the 20th floor of the hopital.   There are doors into the patient's rooms on either side of the hallway.&lt;br /&gt;
[Exits   : (Stairs)(#1978E), (203)(#5947E), (202)(#6404E), (201)(#6491E), and &amp;lt;E&amp;gt;levator(#1979E) ]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Things  : None ]&lt;br /&gt;
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
Alice has arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio watches Alice stumble out of the room with blood all over her hands from where she spit up the bad blood.  That seriously makes Rio freak out because it looks like Alice had been shot or stabbed!  She ran over and put an arm around her!  &amp;quot;Alice!?  Are you okay?  You are coughing up blood!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka is suddenly so very glad to have someone to lean on, for the support. It is so very welcome, now! ...except she doesn't want to get any of that stuff on her. Any idea just how hard it is to get this stuff off!? Nodding her head vigorously, more than she thought she could, she immediately regrets it as her vision tunnels. Oh no, no no no no! Not yet, Arisaka! &amp;quot;Rio!&amp;quot; she sputters, covering her mouth still, having gotten dark red droplets all over her own uniform anyway, &amp;quot;She was a puppet.&amp;quot; Her shoulders jerk and tears force themselves out of her eyes with a pretty fierce gag. &amp;quot;Brainwashed!&amp;quot; she gasps, leaning a little heavier for support, &amp;quot;Mentally reconditioned... programmed. They were hired by a Mister X.&amp;quot; Yes, for all the good that tidbit does. Any Mister Big can call himself Mister X! Well, she still has visual memory to work from later for composite sketches and such. The ship they set out from! &amp;quot;Their base was a ship out at sea..&amp;quot; her voice becomes more ragged, &amp;quot;...all... Chinese..&amp;quot; She grips Rio's shoulder, forgetting that she didn't want to stain her uniform, and she gasps, her eyes beginning to roll into the back of her head, &amp;quot;...bathroom...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You offer to carry Alice. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio grabs Alice and helps walk her to the woman's bathroom.  &amp;quot;Out of the way!  Emergency coming through!  Move!&amp;quot; Rio always gets hyper protective of the one she loves when she's hurt or in danger.  She doesn't care about her shoulder and vest getting blood on it... well she does... but now is not the time to cry about it!  Her girl is in need!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alice scrambles up on you. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio takes Alice into the next door room that has no patient in it and takes her to the bathroom so she can upchuck as need, rubbing her back to comfort her.  &amp;quot;Come on baby...  jezzz what a mess honey...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The world is more or less nothing but a blur. Lestat might have thought he had it bad when he was tricked into drinking some of that dead blood, but oh boy does he have nothing on this vampire! Very nearly losing her footing plenty of times, stumbling outright as the bathroom smells assault her nose, she feels for the telltale bowl shape of the Deity of Porcelain. The Good Lord of Puke. She can't see anymore, she is deathly pale, and are those veins showing? They.. they're the wrong kinds of veins, and the wrong kind of color! Well, maybe it's because she looks about as white as the woman she just fed from. Maybe it's contagious! Collapsing on her knees, she gags loudly a few times, wincing in pain with every contracting of her abdomen, and she slams a hand against the wall of the stall. Which falls right over. Oops. &amp;quot;Fresh....&amp;quot; her voice is thin, hoarse, &amp;quot;...fresh...&amp;quot; and her body convulses, &amp;quot;...blood....&amp;quot; before her eyes roll back into her head completely and somebody better catch her because it's Ragdoll Time!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Ah baby!&amp;quot;  Rio slaps her face gently to try to wake her up.  Damn it!  Crazy vampire drinking dead blood!   Well there wasn't anything to do for it now but what she had done in the past.  She cradled Alice gently in her arms and pulled Alice's head up to rest on Rio's shoulder, putting Alice's face in the crook of Rio's neck where she could sense that pumping fresh blood in the blonde's neck.  Instict would take over most likely but ohhhhhhhh this was going to suck both figuratively and literally for Rio.  When Alice was this in need it usually meant a large donation to the vampire blood bank and lights out for the mortal girl.  &amp;quot;Come on baby... wake up.  You have a nice meal waiting for you...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka's breaths, forcefully steady, and the way that her eyes drift shut, can only mean that she has thankfully not completely slipped away. Even though she doesn't seem to respond to the initial smackings, it becomes more and more obvious that she is still here, by how her breaths become more even. So ill, so very ill. She can't believe she was able to hold it all down. She's absorbed it, all of it, and the woman's essence with it. All that blood. She can smell blood. Fresh blood. It smells so familiar, so good. Her senses tell her where she is. Her head shakes just a little to brush her nose against that familiar neck. She understands the sentiment, and she can't help but smile, even if it's as painedly as it is. &amp;quot;...it's okay...&amp;quot; she whispers, &amp;quot;....packet's good..&amp;quot; The passing of the years has also meant that she has since gained a firmer control of her bloodlust, thankfully.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Oh please.. that cheap drug store rip off stuff?  Come on.. you can take some just don't take all of it!  I gotta stay on my feet.  Once you get enough then you can go get blood packets if you need them.  I'm not going to leave you laying on the floor here while I go get a Caprice Sun blood drink for you.  Now come on.  Drink!&amp;quot;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka's body feels like it's tightening up on itself, and she winces quite profusely at... something. Something, but it must have hurt. It hurt so much that her mouth went wide open, glistening fangs baring in their full, sharp, pointy glory. &amp;quot;Ahh.. hahh..&amp;quot; her breaths come. She can't argue with the Chief, she can't debate the finer points of blood quality when she is in such need. Besides, this is a fresh as it gets, and she did call for fresh blood. She walked right into that one, or rather, stumbled. Rio need say no more! Those fangs find their mark to plunge right into that thick, plump, throbbing jugular. She can feel the pumping flow even before she bites in, and it's all the more delicious now. Still, she drinks in a slow, controlled manner, and has by now forgotten just how messy her hands are and EW it's going to be a bitch to get out of her hair because that is exactly where her hand goes. To cradle the back of Rio's head and get yucky dead blood all in her hair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio is far more concerned with the sharp double stabs of pain as she's punctured like a fruit drink box and fed on.  The blood in her blonde hair will have to be worried about AFTER the crisis is over.  She squeezes Alice's hand hard at the initial bite pain and shivers and shudders but as the vampire does what she does Rio calms down and completely relaxes in a semi drunken state as she's drained of the red go-go juice.  Ugh.. the dry cleaning on the uniform is going to cost even more money she doesn't have to spend.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka, for the time being, focuses on one thing and one thing alone. How much blood she is drawing out. After all this time, she's got it down to an absolute art, how much is too much and how much leaves a willing donor able to do what. In this case, her willing donor wants to be able to walk out of here, so it doesn't take her long to taper off on the sucky sucky, although she can't really do much about the, ahem, paralyzing effects of her saliva. Still! This ride is over, please watch your head and make sure you are not forgetting any personal belongings. Sealing the wounds with a long, soft kiss on that slender neck, she still feels awful, so very very awful, but this is progress. &amp;quot;Thank you,&amp;quot; she whispers, her breaths a little softer, at least. What a messy job and she hopes that she never has to do this ever again, but a job's a job.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio remains sitting up against the wall with Alice cradled in her arms.  The two look like they were part of a mass murder pact, covered in blood.  How does that crap get everywhere so damn fast!?   Rio smiles at Alice and nods a little groggily as the paralysis venom is going to take a bit to get out of her system.   &amp;quot;No.. problem pretty vampire princess... no problem at all....&amp;quot; She stares into Alice's red eyes.  &amp;quot;You are an amazing creature.. thank you for helping us out.  It's not much but it's more than we would have gotten any other way.  Maybe when you feel better you can get more detail out of what you saw with whatever you did in there.  I am pretty sure going on Mister X is going to yield jack and shit....&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka closes her eyes, deciding that trying to get up will not be a very good idea. At all. So, therefore, she is going to lean against Rio for the time being. It must be such a comically tragic sight. Horrifying! Yes, this is going to take f o r e v e r to get off. Well, at least one girl in this room is good with money. Very good with money! So good that she'll be the one shouldering the bills on these. Her eyes, as they open back up, are glassy and somewhat vacant, but at least they show no indication that she is blind. Well, everything is such a blur, still, but that should go away. &amp;quot;I'll have,&amp;quot; she whispers, her voice softening. It seems to be easier when she speaks softly, &amp;quot;a full report. When I am better.&amp;quot; She had also figured as much, regarding this Mister X. If she has more information in those memories regarding that ship that those commandoes were based out of. A name, location.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio kissed the top of Alice's head and snuggled her cheek into the blackness.  &amp;quot;You dork.. don't go poisoning yourself like this.... if I had known.. I'd of told you heck no....&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka just... can't help but be amused, and thankful at such concern. After all, she was just doing her job, as her abilities allowed her. &amp;quot;Sorry,&amp;quot; her features soften, almost into a smile. Almost. &amp;quot;There was no other way.&amp;quot; Maybe AMP should stand for Alice Might Puke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Can you stand yet?  I think I can?  Don't need anyone coming on to our murder scene here...&amp;quot; she chuckles.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka knows for sure that she is going to likely pass out if she tries to stand. &amp;quot;I don't think I can,&amp;quot; she shakes her head, though she's made pretty sure that Chief Sexy here should be able to, still. Oh, this blood poisoning might take a while to get over and she is already having so many regrets because she feels so miserable and she is going to feel this way for a long while, isn't she. They seriously need a proper medium in the division, ugh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio says, &amp;quot;Do you want me to get you on a stretcher and get you out of here or at least get you to the bed?  I think I can manage that and you can just lay here and recover.  I don't what you did that had you coughing up but blood but that is going to be nightmare fuel for a while now for me.. you scared the crap out of me!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio managed to slowly get up.  She wasn't THAT down on pints and with a little effort, scoped up the light weight vampire girl and picked her up with a little grunt of an effort and carried her out of the bathroom and laid her on the bed in the room then sat down with a heavy bounce on the edge like she was exhausted herself.  &amp;quot;You going to be okay, right?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Arisaka does think it would be for the better that she not be left in the bathroom, with a knocked over stall wall. Oops on that one! Deciding not to debate on that particular bit, she nods her head slowly, being very much okay with being... not here. Anywhere but collapsed by a toiled all bloody. She's pretty sure that she's alarmed a lot of people, but that's AMP sometimes. Thank goodness that she is pretty lightweight. Well, except for those two. Those two! Two! &amp;quot;Sorry,&amp;quot; she whispers, smiling a little embarrassed at the thought of having scared Rio. Finding herself laid out proper before long, she can only ask of two things right away, &amp;quot;..need more blood. Packs are okay,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;...please make sure blinds are shut all the way.&amp;quot; Mm, yes, unfiltered sunlight in particular would do her no favors, right now. &amp;quot;I will be okay.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rio nods and leans down to peck Alice on the cheek then stands up a little wobbly and heads out of the room to find blood.  You would THINK in a hospital that would be easy but it takes her a good 30 minutes before she comes back in victorious.  She closes the door to the room then sets the ice chest blood keeper near Alice.  She moves over to turn all the blinds closed and to draw the heavy curtains closed as well.. and then... screw it... she crawls into the bed with Alice and lays her head down on the pillow.  It's sleepy Chief time.  What a day... ugh... tired...  she'll like Alice get the blood.. It's within reach.  &amp;quot;There....&amp;quot; she whispers and then gets comfy and just passes out like a candle flame snuffed out...&lt;br /&gt;

==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priscilla &amp;quot;Priss&amp;quot; S. Asagiri is the moody and defiant 19-year-old member of the Knight Sabers, fighting boomers with ferocious abandon in her slick dark blue Hard Suit, which features a railgun in the right hand as well as a laser gun in the original series and her signature knuckle bombers (explosive charges in both hands of her hard suit) in both series; in the Bubblegum Crash series the suit becomes a modular core system to which a variety of selective heavy weapons can be attached. In the Crisis series, her Hard Suit also combines with her Motoslave (a motorcycle that transforms into an automated mecha or an exosuit) to combat more-advanced Boomers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In both Crisis and Crash, Priss is a rock singer as well as a motorcyclist with a love/hate relationship with AD Policeman Leon McNichol. She is an orphan of the 2025 Kantō earthquake, who joined a biker gang. After her boyfriend was killed and his death declared insignificant by the police (hence her dislike for the law enforcement), she attempted to hunt down the killers, but she was recruited into the Sabers instead. Priss' rebellious streak is tempered by a good heart and sense of humor, which may explain her ability to function in Sylia Stingray's demanding and disciplined operation. She essentially serves as the hammer of the outfit—as opposed to Sylia's leadership and genius, Nene's tech wizardry, and Linna's sleek athletic precision.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priss was voiced by rock singer Kinuko Ohmori in Bubblegum Crisis but after the series was cancelled she decided to focus full-time on her recording career and thus J-pop singer Ryoko Tachikawa took over the role in Bubblegum Crash. In English, she is voiced by Sinda Nichols normally while the English singing voice is done by Joyce Leigh Bowden in the original series, with Yuu Asakawa and Christine Auten in the 2040 series.&lt;br /&gt;

|Name=Lina Inverse&lt;br /&gt;
|Series=Slayers&lt;br /&gt;
|Class=GENIUS Sorceress&lt;br /&gt;
|Alignment=Chaotic sorta-good &lt;br /&gt;
|Gender=Female&lt;br /&gt;
|Species=Human&lt;br /&gt;
|Age=16 &lt;br /&gt;
|Birthdate=March 30&lt;br /&gt;
|Height=4'10&lt;br /&gt;
|Weight=Scrawny&lt;br /&gt;
|Short=Most beautiful and gracious GENIUS SORCERESS Lina Inverse! 'Bandit Killer' 'Dragon Spooker' 'Enemy of all Who Live' 'Turned away from the gates of Hell itself' &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; JUST WHO THE HELL PUT THIS HERE!?&lt;br /&gt;
|Desc=A lanky young girl with some of the most fire-red hair possible on a normal human with long bangs falling wildly to either side of her face and against her brow, just short of blocking her eyes, though that could be helped somewhat by the black headband she's wearing. The remainder of her meticulously groomed hair falls behind her shoulders and far down her back, gleaming with almost golden highlights in the right lighting. From beneath those flame-lick bangs of hers, large eyes take in her surroundings with an almost shrewd gleam to them - a look of intelligence behind those ruby irises that may not immediately show in her behavior. Eyebrows to match her enviable head of hair slash lines across her brow, adding to the expressiveness to her round, youthful face. Her cheekbones are finely shaped and delicate, her nose small and her mouth falls in right behind the rest, matching up to her perfectly turned jaw and small tight-lipped mouth. She's cute now but the potential is there for her to be a real looker - if someone were brave enough to hold her down and apply any kind of makeup, something she's somehow managed to avoid today.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Her physique is appropriate considering her age, though perhaps below average in certain 'ways' that she's not quite fond of being reminded of. She's on the short side of average for a girl her age and she's wiry and thin to go along with it. Sadly, this has caused her to be sadly lacking in the cup size department, leaving her pretty much dead last among her peers who may or may not be lurking nearby. Otherwise, she has the build of a girl who lives a very active and well-nourished lifestyle, her body agile as any normal human her age can be and her stamina, though not apparent always, is similarly above average. It all kind of shows in the confident and very upright way she carries herself. Additionally, when she's not carrying a layer of road dust her skin is fine and pristine, her hair shiny and vibrant. A picture of absolutely perfect health!&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Her clothes are easily the most unusual thing that's immediately apparent about the girl; the most obvious items being a long cloak made from some satin-like black material with a lining of red velvet that, if one were to look hard enough, seems to contain some pockets. It is clasped together in the front by an opaque red jewel encased in some silvery metal. Included are a set of what appear to be gold-trimmed armored pauldrons with their own decorative red jewels set into them. Beneath it and actually working to keep her decent, she wears a silver-trimmed red tunic that's fastened at the waist with a black belt carrying another jewel like the first and a bright yellow cloth band secured around her bosom. She keeps her theme going by adding a pair of red tights, with a yellow bikini-bottom garment to keep decency, that cling perfectly to her slender legs and disappear into soft silvery leather boots. She wears gloves to match with two more large red gems to go with the others at her belt and collar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|Skills=In the case of Lina Inverse, though she's absolutely full of herself, she is truly a genius at her art. Much to the chagrin of sorcerers many times her age, she's developed a degree of mastery with most forms of sorcery that puts her on a trajectory that could rival the legendary spellcasters of her world someday. She has more potential and brains than any one person deserves though she tends to rely more on blind luck and intuition to get her through truly trying situations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her mastery of black magic, an almost strictly offensive branch of sorcery, is absolute. She can wield every spell she knows in ways that sometimes seem to defy the common academic's understanding of her world's magic. She tends to not rely on this array of big guns so much - only when it's clear she'll require deadly force. Sometimes, though, her temper or her opponent warrants this degree of escalation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though her grasp of shamanism isn't nearly as thorough as black magic, she's able to wield it expertly. Though she has a complete knowledge of elemental shamanism, her skill with spirit magic is insufficient to pull off spirit shamanisms most impressive feats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As far as white magic, she never took it seriously enough to learn more than what she felt were the most useful. She has plenty to round out her magical toolkit, though an accomplished priest or even someone less specialized would certainly be more versatile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her truest strength is her ability to innovate, though her fear of the things she's accomplished has hampered her somewhat. She's the first caster known to have tapped into the power of the Lord of Nightmares, the being responsible for the existence of her universe. While one such spell only takes the merest bit of that power, the other conjures and channels the will of the Golden Sea of Chaos itself. Not something to take lightly, as it would have all power at that point to do as it pleased. Akin to casting a die with 'everyone dies' on all but one side. As she has a complete understanding of the risks involved, Lina is only willing to resort to the latter when there is absolutely nothing else to lose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite her age, Lina is very worldly. She's spent the bulk of her teenage years wandering the world, seeing things a person her age has no business seeing and wielding forces even she sometimes marvels at. Her head is full of cosmological knowledge, magical lore and just about every tale, legend and prophecy her world has to offer. She's a noteworthy strategist and a near savant when it comes to unraveling the threads to the various intrigues, scandals and cosmic events she's been involved with. She's all too aware of where she sits in a situation or she'll at least figure it out fast enough to survive. Usually not fast enough to preserve her dignity. Prooooobably why...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
People fear her, bandits hate her, dragons are horrified by her and she has a reputation even the shinzoku and mazoku have taken note of. Despite not generally meaning to be a menace, she's developed enough of a bad rap through a combination of her bad temper and overzealous use of magical power that she's perceived as far worse than she actually is! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, she can fight well enough to shame most street level goons, she's in extremely good health and physical condition but she has to put away loooooots more food than it would appear she should. Channeling magic is hard on the body, alas.&lt;br /&gt;

{{Template:Logs-Twisted}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|}}&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
Her time in Twisted has been spent relatively unbothered by the powers that be, so she's been free to pillage and explore at her leisure. She's found a bit of a niche for herself in the wastes, coming and going as her intuition and perception of time allow. She's experimented and notated quite a bit on her own, delving into parts of the world most people aren't willing to risk. It seems her labor has borne fruit, as she's managed to bridge the gap between Twisted and NeoTokyo by going from Wastes to Badlands with no small amount of effort and risk on her part. Wouldn't it be hilarious if there was an easier way? Story of her LIFE.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since hitting the mean streets of the big city, Lina has reunited with old companions, narrowly avoided death and a far worse fate at the hands of the NTPD and even taken the first steps of at least coming to friendly terms with the local Magic Guild. Is she going to finally conform!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
For all her talent, intelligence and worldliness, Lina is still a teenager. She's certainly no fool but can be manipulated by someone patient enough or baited into blatantly dangerous scenarios by playing on her temper or greed. Though she's intelligent enough to be methodical and cautious, at times she's impetuous enough that anything she sets out to do can as easily succeed or fall victim to her occasional negligence. Despite her ill reputation and vengeful behavior to those who cross her, she's not without merit. She's compassionate even if she acts gruff, holds her few friends very dear and holds a healthy respect for all things big and small. She may be a bit mercenary but she won't turn a blind eye to suffering or cruelty though the extent of her wrath rarely leaves those in her wake grateful. Oh, she's cripplingly afraid of slugs and even more terrified of her sister. Want something from her? If you can prove her sister might get involved otherwise she'll do just about anything she thinks her sister would approve of.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Possessions==&lt;br /&gt;
She doesn't really keep much more than what she can carry but what she carries is certainly not so easy to discern by simply looking. Her cloak serves as more than a fashion statement, as it protects against some minor attacks and the elements themselves but most importantly serves as portable storage space, like those probably-trademarked bags from another completely unrelated setting! Her outfit, though garish, is probably enchanted to at least be more durable than it's material lets on and many of the items on her person are trapped against theft. Her most important possessions at the moment are the Demon's Blood Talismans - a set of four talismans she wears at her wrists, belt and throat that draw upon the powers of the four Dark Lords of her multiverse, granting her increased magical capacity and amplifying the destructive power of whatever magic she casts next. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Magic in Slayers==&lt;br /&gt;
Magic in Lina's universe depends heavily upon borrowing from an exterior energy source such as the environment, spirits or extra-planar entities. Humans are able to access these external wells of power through their astral bodies. Each person is born with a certain bucket capacity(i.e., their astral body) that acts as a sort of soft limit to the power of spells they are able to cast; some modification is possible through external means though this is either temporary or extremely risky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An individual spell has a certain required bucket capacity that can be modified slightly by fully incanting the spell or allowing the spell to draw energy from the caster's body as well though the latter often leaves casters vulnerable or grievously injured. Likewise, the caster may also choose to use up more of their bucket capacity to modify or amplify a spell or even to cast it suddenly in a moment of desperation. Though these additional techniques are often costly to the caster they can enable one to wield incredible power so long as their working knowledge of the magic is sufficient. Losing control through distraction, lack of understanding or insufficient will often means the caster suffers the full effect of their misfired spell; there aren't many truly incompetent spellcasters in Slayers. They tend to meet unfortunate ends quickly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Magic accessible to humans is divided into three disciplines: Black Magic, White Magic and Shamanism. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Black Magic invokes the power of Mazoku or demons, through incantations that are almost like prayers. The results ranging from curses and summoning to devastating offensive effects that can obliterate a lone opponent or leave a smoking crater in place of a city. Needless to say, known practitioners of this art tend to be rather infamous. A few very important mechanical caveats affect this discipline in particular: First, a spell granted by a lesser power than the intended target is unlikely to have any useful effect. Two, a spell granted by a given power cannot be used to attack that same entity and will have a typically fatal result.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
White magic, rather than being strictly the opposite to Black Magic, is simply a discipline that tends to be supportive and utilitarian. Its spells range from creating water, producing defensive barriers or providing cures and healing. Known practitioners of White Magic tend to be seen in a positive light, regarded as kindly priests, miracle weaving shrine maidens or shining exemplars of justice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shamanism is the broadest of all categories and further subdivided by elementalist spells and spirit magic. These generally tap the very energy contained in the environment; invoking spirits great and small to produce effects that can be subtle or stunning, tranquil or utterly violent. Because of its depth, it takes much effort to master all of shamanism so most practitioners of magic are forced to commit to only a few. Shamans blend in better than most, as it's a discipline that easily compliments other skill sets.&lt;br /&gt;

|Image=Rally-Gungirl.jpg&lt;br /&gt;
|Name={{PAGENAME}}&lt;br /&gt;
|Series=Gunsmith Cats&lt;br /&gt;
|Class=Bounty Hunter and Gunsmith&lt;br /&gt;
|Alignment=Neutral with a righteous streak.&lt;br /&gt;
|Gender=Female&lt;br /&gt;
|Species=Human&lt;br /&gt;
|Age=20&lt;br /&gt;
|Birthdate=&lt;br /&gt;
|Height=5'7&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|Weight=131 lbs.&lt;br /&gt;
|Short=Young dark haired woman in a suit. &lt;br /&gt;
|Desc=Rally Vincent. Noted collector and peddler of firearms, widely renowned sharpshooter, feared bounty hunter. Three ways people could describe her simply, but this gun bunny can't be described with mere titles, informal or no. She's relatively young, no doubt in her early twenties, and my is she in shape! Her physical makeup is strong and lithe, not muscular, just well conditioned for stamina. She's pretty, beautiful even, belying her skill with almost any firearm you can put in her hands, any car you can fit her into. Her dusky complexion only further augments her looks, and also makes it apparent that she's of Native American(at least partially) descent. With all of her concern over her shape, her womanly figure wasn't neglected even some. Wow, she sure is a dish to drool over! But don't make that mistake if there's money on your head. Dead or alive, she'll bring you in... especially if you mess with the car.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not one to really dress flamboyant, Rally has chosen something relatively conservative... Of course, that would mean she's in business attire.  It consists of a white, long sleeved blouse, buttoned up the front, with pockets over each breast to slay any threat of a plain look. A simple, grey tie encircles the stiff, fold-over collar of the blouse, hiding the buttons behind it rather well. Two thin leather straps over her shoulders secure what seems to be, yes... a handgun holster, complete with it's own weapon, to her left side. The blouse is tucked into a tight, black skirt, one that covers more than half of her thighs, perhaps something like two thirds, actually, with one short split in the left side to allow for some movement. Fine black hose cover her slim, shapely legs, darkening her tanned skin to her feet, where she wears a pair of heavily polished black dress shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
|Skills=Good behind the wheel, better with a gun in her hands and an accomplished gunsmith besides. This will get more love eventually.&lt;br /&gt;
