*****Recap of Last Session*****
The team's social dynamic seems to have some holes in it. A pissing contest between Vince and Butterfly has errupted into a full-fledged frag up that has left their paycheck seriously wounded and perhaps dieing.
During the argumeent an accidental ricochet has hit Frank. His condition is unknown. Akihana, seeing Frank wounded, has snatched Butterfly's slivergun to everyone's surprise.
Just a block or two over a firefight of epic proprotions has errupted between the Seattle based Yakuza, The Mob, and Lone Star PD. It is only a matter of time before one of the three comes looking for the runners. The windshield of Butterfly's Van has been shattered earlier by a burst of bullets from the street samurai Cheese, and is sure to attract attention on sight as well as be extremely difficult to drive in a high speed chase.
Pele, DC, and Vince stand just a foot or two outside the back of Butterfly's Step Van in a group. Butterfly kneels on the drivers seat turned around and facing towards the rear of the van. Frank lays against the wall of the Van, blood flows from his chest freely now that Vince is no longer keeping pressure on the wound. The street samurai Cheese lays unconscious and bound on the floor of the van. Manzazzuu is seated in the passenger side of the van turned around watching events unfold in shock. Akihana has backed up out of arms reach from Butterfly positioning herself between everyone else and Frank. Oscar and Doc are missing and presumed dead. Naroko lays dead in the street near the remains of Vince's Van. This run has already cost the team dearly and now it looks like they may not be getting paid.
Gunshots can be heard clearly even over the rain as the gunfight continues and the beating of chopper blades can now be heard circling the area. Local time is 5:15 pm and the sun is low in the western sky. Rain has soaked everyone to the bone and left them chilled and infrequent strikes of lightning cause thunder to beat the air.
*****End Recap*****
[08:35:45 PM] DC "everybody calm down!"
[08:48:31 PM] * Butterfly responds to Akihana in kind. After being clocked, she comes round and knocks the girl upside the head harshly. "What the hell?"
[08:50:13 PM] Kagi *Akihana ::stumbles back a step with Butterfly's punch and trips over Frank's prone form, but manages to keep her feet::
[08:50:40 PM] Kagi *Pele "Butterfly! What the Frag!?"
[08:57:59 PM] Kagi *Akihana in a fury fires at Butterlfy with her own slivergun. A spread of tiny bullet fragments tear through Butterfly's left shoulder as Akihana's aim is true.
[09:04:28 PM] Kagi *Akihana agains fires into Butterfly at near point blank range. This time she takes the woman in her chest. Blood splatters the windshield behind her as some of the fragments penetrate her body and exit out her back. She goes down in a slump
[09:10:07 PM] Kagi *Frank mutters quickly and a small ball of energy forms in his outstretched hand
[09:11:01 PM] Kagi *Frank ::blood drools from his lips and he speaks quietly:: "Get your hands up!"
[09:11:20 PM] Kagi *Akihana ::eyes wide and chest heaving in terror and rage looks to be dead serious about shooting someone. She backs up to cover Frank's prone form, waving the slivergun wildly from person to person:: "Get your fraggin' hands where I can see them!"
[09:12:47 PM] * Vince raises his hand to neck-height
[09:15:59 PM] Manzazzuu "Akihana, listen to me." Manny says in his most stable and calming tones. "What happened was an accident. I can heal Frank. I am quite adept at that kind of thing, but I am not about to do anything while you are holding that gun.
[09:16:00 PM] Manzazzuu Now, set it down, and let us all be reasonable. Frank, please release that spell energy as well." He says, before, still invisible, he moves out of the seat he had occupied, and toward the back of the Van to keep them guessing as to his location.
[09:18:27 PM] Kagi *Frank looks right at you as you talk, as soon as you move he near shouts, or as best as he can:: "You fraggin' drop that spell and hold still mage man or I'll frag you up!"
[09:24:26 PM] Kagi *Both Frank and Akihana seem to relax just a bit as they see someone willing to talk instead of shoot or punch them
[09:27:40 PM] Vince "Listen Frank, Akihana, I CAN'T go back, I choose you guys instead of your families, we all did, Butterfly's just a crazy slitch, so please let me get out out of here. If the cops or either group find us, you'll be split up and back to the turf wars. Let me help you."
[09:30:43 PM] Kagi *Akihana ::now fires back in a rage:: "Frag you!"
[09:32:59 PM] Kagi *Both Akihana and Frank make no move to fire on any of the runners, but both look on the verge of a killing spree. Both look like they are cornered and scared
[09:33:23 PM] * DC throws up her hands, and speaks calmly "I have had medical training I can help, lets not do anything that we'll regret."
[09:35:39 PM] Kagi *Akihana ::looks down at Frank as blood oozes from his chest and down his chin:: "Get over here. Help him then, but I swear to god, you hurt him and I'll blow your head off!"
[09:38:23 PM] Kagi *Akihana ::motions with her gun for DC to kneel infront of her and over Frank. She seems to understand that Health magic usually needs a hands-on approch::
[09:41:02 PM] * DC walks over assessing his wounds with her medical knowledge. and kneels by his body then calmly says "I'm going to need the Med kit and some assistance"
[09:43:09 PM] Manzazzuu "Frank, you need medical attention, and I can provide it. Please, let me tend to both you, and Butterfly. There is no way you can think that bullet had been meant for you, you are an intelligent man. Vince, DC, please, let me handle this situation?" Despite the fact that DC had helped to smooth over the rough spots Vince had created, it was usually best to have one person speak in a negotiation of this sort. He drops his invisibility
[09:43:13 PM] Manzazzuu He moves his hands to his midsection, holding them in a meditation position there, muttering an incantation loudly. His hands separate and one moves up toward his head. His hands begin to glow with a pure, white light, and he presses one hand to Butterfly's forehead, the other to her lower abdomen. Waves of healing magic flow into her. If she opens her eyes, Manny will whisper to her: "Stay down."
[09:46:46 PM] * Vince is still standing hands at neck-height, under the rain
[09:47:11 PM] * DC slowly reaches into her the back of her large long coat and takes out a med kit and starts to work on franks wounds
[09:48:51 PM] Manzazzuu Manny bleeds from nose, mouth, and eyes as the force of the powerful magic he uses takes its toll on his body.
[09:56:40 PM] * Butterfly sputters a little in reaction, but stays down with her eyes closed.
[09:58:55 PM] Manzazzuu Manny, still bleeding, now moves from Butterfly over to the other pair. He glances over at Akihana. "Please, put that away, you will have no need of it." He kneels in front of Frank, and looks the man in the eyes. "Are you ready?" He asks, waiting for his permission before looking to tend to the man.
[09:59:48 PM] Kagi *Frank ::Nods::
[10:01:34 PM] * DC under the pressure of a gun opens up the med kit, and starts to operate on frank's chest wound. after a bit of suction she manages to locate the bullet and removes it using the sterlized Equipment in the med kit. and she dresses up the wound allowin franks body to begin healing.
[10:02:14 PM] Manzazzuu Manny waits briefly, for DC to finish, before once again moving his hands into the meditative position at his abdomen. His murmured chant sounds the same as before, as his arms once again move to their proper places, and glow once again. One hand his forehead, the other on his lower abdomen, and once again the force of his healing magic rushes into Frank.
[10:02:39 PM] * Butterfly starts to shiver uncontrollably and breath in loud rasping wet sputters.
[10:05:39 PM] DC "Frank you are going to be ok. however you will need to take it very easy the next couple of days."
[10:06:36 PM] * DC takes a quick look to assess his astral signiture as well
[10:06:48 PM] Kagi *Frank ::nods and speaks, this time no blood comes from his mouth:: "Okay."
[10:07:09 PM] Manzazzuu The man's wounds close over, and stop bleeding, but they are tender and in danger of breaking open. The bullet fragments had pushed themselves out of his body first, so they no longer present a danger.
[10:09:34 PM] Manzazzuu "Now, shall we stop trying to kill one another, and go back to getting out of here? DC, perhaps you should drive, since you're uninjured." Suggests Manny, as he reaches out a hand, palm up, to Akihana for the gun. "You have taken retribution, surely you need no more?" He asks her.
[10:12:06 PM] Kagi *Akihana ::her face screws up in a sneer at Manzazzuu:: "Frag yourself! Just get us moving. I'll hold on to this. What do you think I'm some kid?"
[10:12:45 PM] * Vince looks to everyone inside. "I can drive good. I've done it for 10 years."
[10:13:51 PM] * DC runs over to the drivers seat and tries to move butterfly over to the passanger's seat
[10:14:14 PM] Kagi *Butterfly continues to die as shock sets in. She shivers a bit and blood drools from her lips. She is slumped over the steering wheel
[10:14:50 PM] Kagi *As DC moves her a fresh batch of blood spreads on her back
[10:14:51 PM] Manzazzuu "No, I think you are a woman who can see that accidents happen, and that there is no need to protect yourself from us. Frank is healthier, now, than when he got into the van. Please, Akihana, be reasonable? We have all had a very trying day." He says, concentrating on her for the moment. After all, turning his attention to Vince would likely ruin any chance of salvaging his connection to Akihana.
[10:17:40 PM] * DC grabs a trauma patch out of her magical coat of many things and sticks it near the sight of the damage
[10:19:05 PM] Kagi *Adrenaline and stabilizing medication rush into Butterfly. The dopamine in the patch makes her a bit loopy, but she seems to relax in just a few moments
[10:24:41 PM] * DC is suprrized after seeing the freash blood and a light blue aura surrounds her hands as she lays a hand on Butterfly's wound and it starts to heal itself in seconds. a bit of blood starts to trickle down DC's nose as the process is finished
[10:34:45 PM] Kagi *Akihana ::studies Manzazzuu's face for a moment then looks to Frank. Frank nods and Akihana slowly hands the slivergun over to Manzazzuu::
[10:35:52 PM] Manzazzuu "Thank you, Akihana." Manny says with a smile, putting the gun under his longcoat. "Now, let us see if we can not find a way to get the two of you hidden somewhere your families will never find you."
[10:36:55 PM] Vince "can I get in and drive or will people shoot me for dumbass reasons again?"
[10:41:33 PM] DC "i'm not going to shoot you but we'll drop you off before we get to there destentation."
[10:42:21 PM] Manzazzuu "Let's not start arguing again, please?" Manny says, looking around at his companions. This was just not acceptable.
[10:42:26 PM] Vince "Goddammit, why can't you trust me. I CAN'T GO BACK! I've forfeit everything for those two."
[10:43:58 PM] Vince "And I'm not one to make sure my cargo don't get to destination, that's not what I do."
[10:45:03 PM] Oscar "Hey Vince who blew your van?"
[10:46:10 PM] Manzazzuu "Oscar, Vince, just get in the van, we need to leave." Manny says with a sigh of frustration.
[10:46:35 PM] * Vince gets behind the wheel, drive off, and buckles up.
[10:46:46 PM] Vince "The hell you just came from Oscar?"
[10:47:26 PM] * DC listens to fire fight that errupted moments ago... "lets go.... we are not going to be safe here much longer"
[10:47:37 PM] Oscar "Sorry 'bout darting off like that, guys. The van blew and i went for cover and i guess i went too far. What happened?"
[10:48:07 PM] Vince "Drek happened. And Mistrust."
[10:48:29 PM] * DC finds a good seat again in the van trying not to make the matters worse by stepping on Frank.
[10:48:30 PM] Manzazzuu "Speaking of mistrust, Oscar, just how deep are you in with the Yakuza?"
[10:48:32 PM] * Vince wipes off the blood from the window with his scarf.
[10:49:26 PM] * Oscar slumps in the back of the van still a bit winded and drained from fighting with the other technomancer.
[10:49:56 PM] Kagi *Oscar you see Butterfly is shot up pretty good. The guy you came to get, Frank is shot as well. Akihana is with them, but looks very angry. And Manny looks like someone squeezed his chest until blood flowed from his entire head
