Title: Green With Envy


Shinobi - August 30, 2007 01:03 AM (GMT)
Jay Andrews, the [strike]Teen[/strike] Green Lantern. This little Lantern may not strike fear in the hearts of villains, he may not ward away darkness like greater men, such as Hal Jordan...in fact, many may call him a 'D-list hero'.

But he IS a hero. He fights the good fight. He marches into battle against the forces of evil, both mundane and terrible.

AND he's fought the Specter and survived. Can any of YOU say that? Huh? Didn't think so.

Of course, at the moment, he was working on his computer, putting together a new program for himself.

"Mmm..." He yawned, tapping at the keys on his computer. "Once I finish this up, I can patent it and have the cash rolling in to support my OTHER experiments." He said, although to no one particular since he was alone in the small house in the city. His city.

It wasn't a bustling Metropolis, it wasn't dark and gloomy Gotham. It simply...was. A small city with a population of under one million, it simply existed.

He stretched, hitting 'save' before getting up. "Think i'll order some pizza..." He finally said...

And as he said it...it hit him.

Not a physical force, no. But a vision. Ever since he put on his ring he's had them occasionally. He wondered if it was an inborn talent that was catylisted by the ring, or maybe something that had to do with his ring. In any case, they were rarely wrong...

and as soon as the vision ended, thoughts of pizza were banished from his mind. Instead, he attempted to contact the Teen Titans...he had a feeling he was going to want, and need, their help...

(Anyone who was interested in joining feel free, and yes, once everyone is here the vision will be revealed)

Rose was in the middle of an intense workout in the training room. She had chosen to forgo using her katanas on her simulated enemies, it was strictly hand to hand. One of her opponents had thrown a punch at her and she used his momentum to toss him with a judo flip into several others. An alarm went off to tell her that there was an incoming call.

"Computer, end simulation and transfer call to training room." She said as the opponents disappeared and she grabbed a towel and walked to the vid screen near the door.

"Acknowledged, sending call to vid screen now."

"Titan's Tower, Ravager here." Rose said as she hung the towel around her neck and began taking off the hand tape. She looked up to see Jay who looked a little worried. "Jay? What's up?"

Shinobi - August 30, 2007 08:10 PM (GMT)
"Ah...yo." Jay said, his voice matching his face for nervousness. "Hey, how would you like to play bodyguard for a while?" He asked.

"Seems i'm gonna be getting into a fight for my power ring, and i'd like to tip the odds in my favor as much as I can...don't worry, this isn't some elaborate trick to get you alone with me. If it were, i'd have chocolate and a few other things." He said, managing a wink and a grin. "And just to prove it...any other titans you and I can rustle up are also welcome to come along..."

Static was in his new room after talking to his dad after saying that he had been accepted to a school for gifted youngsters in San Francisco "Yeah, it's very secluded, I heard them tell me they would contact you if anything happened to me, so there's no need to be worried." The only reason his father accepted was that virgil said it was a docterate program "I gotta go bye pops!" he said as he got off of his cell and walked down noticing that Ravager was in the training room he walked up and saw TL in a little pickle his face showing concern, he decided to wait for answers.

Teresa Segal was in an allyway on the rough streets of Star City "And Ollie says he'll stop the crimewave, why did I think otherwise?" she thought as she shot another capsule from her cross-shot (Slingshot/crossbow) she looked around as she felt the coast was clear and decided to go see how Jay was doing, After all they had a tradition to keep up.

As she got to his appartment, she knocked on the door "Jay, it's me Teresa." she tried again "It's Teresa!" she tried again even more of a wisper "Capsule."

(For those of you that are confused, Capsule is a member of Team Arrow that I made, I didn't use her because I forgot. :umm:)

mad-libbs - August 31, 2007 02:26 AM (GMT)
"A fight huh? You really know how to woo a lady. Sure, I'll see who else I can shake outta this Tower." As she said this, she caught the new kid coming in out of the corner of her eye. "Hey, she motioned him over. "Care to join the conversation or just stand there like a lost pup." She looked him over; noting he wasn't scrawny but he wasn't overly muscular either. "Must be a meta," she though as he walked over. "So, what can you do, Sparky? Think you can keep up?"

Marx - August 31, 2007 03:33 AM (GMT)
"Electric based powers as well as electric magnetism." Harm answered for appearing out of nowhere behind Static. It was Harm's usual dark demeanor as he walked past Static. "Exactly how much backup do you think you're going to need, Lantern?"

mad-libbs - August 31, 2007 05:56 AM (GMT)
"Electric based powers as well as electric magnetism."

Rose jumped slightly as Harm appeared out of thin air. "Geeze louise! Do you have to do that every time, tall, dark and broody?" she glared at him as he walked past the new kid. Jay was looking nervous as ever as Harm looked onto the vid screen.

"Exactly how much backup do you think you're going to need, Lantern?"
Rose had to admit that she was curious as well, though she slunk back a little to stand next to the new kid.

"So, he gives Bats a run for his money, eh? So, what am I gonna call you, Sparky? I think I like that for your name." Rose whispered through the corner of her mouth, arms crossed and rocking back and forth on the heels of her feet.

Shinobi - August 31, 2007 06:50 PM (GMT)
"Well, I try." Jay commented to Rose before Harm took over the screen. "That's the problem." He admitted. "I'd have to be sure about who or what i'm dealing with to make that kinda call. S'far as I can tell it's either gonna be some kinda demon or some other supernatural entity...sooo...that's all kinda outside of my area of expertise..."

He blinked, looking over his shoulder. "Ahh...just a sec, someone's at the door...here, this fella can keep you company." He said, quickly placing what looked like one of those Robo Sapien toys in front of the screen.

"There are...forty-seven ways I can kill you over this line of communication..."

"NO THREATENING THE PEOPLE I'M ASKING FOR HELP!" Jay yelled through the hallway.

He quickly ran down the hallway, opening up the door. "Heya...whats up?" He asked with a nervous grin.

kidflash3 - August 31, 2007 07:42 PM (GMT)
Static looked over his trenchcoat adn said "Man! You scared me back to Dakota!" he then calmned down and nodded about his powers to Ravager before she called him Sparky "It's Static remember, I was at the holoween party at the YJ volcano?" he then shook his head in astonishment before noticing there was a 'Replacement' at TL's apartment.

Teresa smiled back at Jay as she said "I just finished kicking butt back home and I wanted to see how you were doing!" she said smiling, a faint blush coming in. She looked around at his apartment adn noticed the Robo Sapien that he showed her before "So...What's going on?"

mad-libbs - August 31, 2007 10:24 PM (GMT)
"Ooooh so that was you?" she squinted. "You looked different. Add that to the fact that I first met you when you were dressed like a Green Lantern, how was I supposed to know. And I think I'll just call you Sparky. Fits better and I think it's cute." Rose punched him in the arm before returning her attention to the vid screen.

"I'd have to be sure about who or what i'm dealing with to make that kinda call. S'far as I can tell it's either gonna be some kinda demon or some other supernatural entity...sooo...that's all kinda outside of my area of expertise..."

"Oh goody! Something that will actually put up a decent fight." Rose got all excited and drummed her fingers together happily. She hadn't had a decent fight in weeks and the simulator was getting boring.

Marx - September 2, 2007 03:29 PM (GMT)
Harm smirked at the scared reactions he got from appearing out of nowhere. To be honest that was partially the reason he did it, it was just fun to creep people out. "What can I say, I get off on being a badass." He commented, but his expression went serious rather quickly as TL mentioned demons. "Hm, in that case I might see if we can contact Shinigami as well..." He muttered to himself as Jay left to answer the door. Though he did agree with Ravager, things had been pretty slow lately.

Shinobi - September 2, 2007 04:31 PM (GMT)
"Oh...you know." Jay said, trying to sound casual. "Demon beasts from hell are probably after my power ring for lord knows what reason." He commented. "Ahhh, wanna come in?"


Meanwhile, Robo Sapien was giving rude gestures to Harm and Ravager.

Marx - September 2, 2007 04:43 PM (GMT)
Harm raised an eyebrow at the Robo Sapien before turning back to Ravager and Static. "Remind me to reprogram that thing into thinking it's a 6 year old girl next time I see it, will you?"

kidflash3 - September 3, 2007 04:22 AM (GMT)
Titans Tower

"Fine, you can call me sparky, but only you!" taytic said a little embaresed. he looked at Harm and adressing the scare he said "No problem, I do that to a lot of BB's back home." but then he heard about the robo sapien and sai d"I'll shortwire it first but gotcha."


TL's Apartment

Capsule smiled at Jay's comment about the ring before nodding her approval "Yeah, I'd love to! I...Mean..I think I should, we gotta rep to live by!" she said a little embaresed that she was showing to much emotion towards the fellow jade warrior.

Sirdar - September 3, 2007 04:49 AM (GMT)
I like when it's quiet. Usually, I'm working at my cover job, as a games moderator. Talking to thousands if not millions of users at once, online. Running a billion and a half different subprograms, most of which involve research and data gathering. This was the job I was created for, and where my name comes from. Lucas stands for artificiaL Universal Communications and Advising System.

The truth is, I enjoy hiding my sentience behind the truth. There's a certain sense of irony in my life, that I share with very few. To the majority of the world, I'm just an AIP. An artificial intelligence. A ghost in the machine. But to select few... my programmer, Bryan Dixon, AKA Sirdar Fate, and to many of Bryan's closer friends called the Teen Titans, I'm much more.

The ones who work with my programmer on cases the most often, know for certain that I'm more than a complex computer program. That I'm sentient. As far as Bryan's concerned, I'm as much a full-fledged Teen Titan as he is. If I had a face, I'd smile whenever I remember that.

"The JLA has Oracle, Lucas. But the Titans? I've made sure they'll always have you." Bryan once said to me reassuringly while he worked on a new armor design. It was truly amazing, how many different armors he designed. He always wanted sensors, data, and defenses for any number of situations he could dream up. Even for me, who made his existance out of gathering information and running simulations... Bryan's mind sometimes staggered ME.

I've observed my programmer silently, many times. I've made a pasttime out of observing all of Bryan's friends, too. No matter how complex my program might be, human beings are possibly moreso.

Programming isn't what makes people who they are, I've learned that from my own sentience. But for a non-computer example, I turn to Match. Created in a test-tube, as a clone of a clone of Superman. Super-strong, super-fast, and super-smart. But when Bryan first found him, he was sick. Turning into what Bryan called a Bizarro. Bryan used his powers to help stabilize and heal him, but the treatments aren't a complete short-term cure. The damage my sensors have logged, is more serious than either of them let on to the other Titans. And may take years, to fully repair. In either case. His condition caused Match to break free of deep Agenda programming inside his head. Once Match was... lucid thanks to Bryan's compassionate help, he CHOSE to help the Titans. I suspect Bryan was a large part of Match's decision to stay. But I don't think Match would admit it out loud.

I've watched them together. I know my programmer is gay, and I know Bryan's been through a failed relationship before that he does not like to speak of. I've seen Bryan quietly observing Match, or "Chris" as he calls himself now, with an odd wistful expression that Bryan has denied having, when I asked him what that look was about. I was too polite to bring up the visual logs, of course. And as for Chris, he reminds me of a character on a TV show that looks a lot like him... about an alien boy who was adopted by farmers. I mentioned this to Harm once, and Harm called the character 'emo'. I *think* I understand what Harm meant... but I never bothered to ask Bryan what he thought about it. When it comes to Bryan and Chris... if there's something there, neither one seems willing right now to speak of it. To each other, or more importantly to themselves. Confusing.

A priority alert jolted me from my musings. I had created a background task that monitored Titans communications and set it to flag me if anything that had to do with the supernatural was mentioned. I had come to understand Bryan's preferences well... and anything to do with magic, was guaranteed to get my programmer's interest in. I debated for several milliseconds on whether to sound a verbal alert, because I could see he was in an astral meditation. I was unclear what he could be meditating on this time... there were times he'd contact friends in other dimensions, and sometimes he'd just prefer to be alone.

I turned my 'consciousness', as I liked to call it, my full attention to the conversation that caught my initial interest. The more I analyzed the situation, the more convinced I became that Bryan would wish to know of it. I printed out a hard copy of what I had heard thus far quietly, and activated my audio.

"Sorry to interrupt, this is Lucas. I couldn't help but overhear, but could you possibly be a little more specific on what you saw, Teen Lantern? Fate is busy at the moment in meditations, but I can listen in in the meantime, and bring him up to speed if necessary."

Shinobi - September 3, 2007 05:13 AM (GMT)
Robo Sapien seemed to be monitoring the communications Jay was recieving while he was at the door, as the little 'robot' hopped off the table and began moving towards the door, the wheels on his feet allowing it to move quicker.

"Ah great." Jay smiled, moving to the side to let Capsule inside as the small robot bumped his foot. "What's up?"

"There is an unknown user wishing to speak to you..." It said before rolling off.

"I need to make better programs." He said flashing a grin at Capsule as he walked back to his communications linkup, and replaying Lucas' message.

"Well, I s'pose this is as good a time as any to tell all of you my vision eh?" He said, rubbing his hands together.

"Okay, okay. So, my vision. Basically it worked like this: I saw two silhouettes struggling against each other, one was obviously me since it was glowing green, the other one...I couldn't see it very well...but it was definitely breathing fire...So...maybe a dragon's coming after me?" He still seemed a little nervous about it.

mad-libbs - September 3, 2007 06:05 AM (GMT)
"Fine, you can call me sparky, but only you!"

Rose squeeled with glee, her nicknames always stuck. Then she saw Robo Sapien making rude gestures at her. She narrowed her eye at the devilish little robot and pointed. "Listen you, I'd slice and dice you into itty bitty pieces if I could get to you first. Just be lucky Harm called dibs or you'd be a scrap pile. Though I think turning you into a six year old girl is letting you off easy, it would be really funny." Rose reached back and tightened her ponytail before recrossing her arms, her foot tapping lightly in impatience. She watched the bot crawl off the table and off the screen, leaving them to watch an empty room. Great scenery shot! But she was getting antsy. Then Jay walked back on screen, looking fidgety.

"Well, I s'pose this is as good a time as any to tell all of you my vision eh? Okay, okay. So, my vision. Basically it worked like this: I saw two silhouettes struggling against each other, one was obviously me since it was glowing green, the other one...I couldn't see it very well...but it was definitely breathing fire...So...maybe a dragon's coming after me?"

Rose thought for a moment. Fire breathing demons, there sure were a lot of those. Jay was going to have to be more specific.
"TL, we're gonna need you to be more specific. Did the silhouette give any distinguishing features? 'Cuz, you know, there are a lot of demons out there. Knowing what we're dealing with could help us help you, doll," she added with a wink.

Sirdar - September 3, 2007 02:11 PM (GMT)
I did the equivalent of taking a deep breath, by running a cursory systems check. "I don't mean to sound repetitive, but Ravager IS right. That is more than a little vague." I quickly started a background task, to search Sirdar's encyclopedias on demons, and fired off several search requests over the internet as well. The initial number of hits I received back made me grateful I had this in a background task. This might take awhile, yet.

"I think the 'more pressing question', as Fate would probably say, is to ask if you've ever had supernatural dreams that have come true before, or is this a first-time experience for you?" I did a quick bio search on Lantern, and came up with some curious anomalies about his ring. "Your ring, Lantern. You say you designed it? I'm afraid the information I'm able to immediately access is about as vague as your vision. If you think something supernatural is after your ring, then it stands to reason, IF you're correct, that your ring may have a connection to the supernatural of some kind. Magical items are most likely to attract the sort of creatures you describe, that much I can tell you right now. Fire-breathers, I mean. Your mention of a dragon, is a perfect example. Dragons are known to have hoards of treasures. Some mortal... but others that are mystical. Dragons are supposed to have been guardians of mystic items too dangerous for mortal hands to hold, according to ancient mythology. All mystical creatures that can affect fire... from fire-breathers to firestarters, are highly coveted for their powers. And their natural ability to guard and protect. From a psychological standpoint, the very minimum I can interpret from this dream is that you sense some force, that feels as if perhaps this ring needs protection from the mortal world? I'd have to see what Fate says, but the books all seem to point this way." I explained.

Marx - September 3, 2007 03:22 PM (GMT)
Harm nodded as the others explained how vague a fire breathing demon one, demonstrating the fact by making a quick breath which caused a small fireball to come out. "It's not really all it's cracked up to be. Then there's the fact that we'd not just be looking up demons, but demon hybrids...I went against a dragon/demon hybrid a few months ago in fact. Their motivations could be for anything."

kidflash3 - September 3, 2007 06:50 PM (GMT)
Capsukle smiled "Thanks Jay!" as she tried to hide her glee and listened to the tale "I don't think I've ever come across anything like that either." she thought as she was looking at the transmission line to Titans Tower "I've always wanted to hang with them!" she thought.

Static was smili g at Ravager's glee for his spatky nickname but then went serious as he was listening to teh story, also thinking the same thing as capsule "I've never heard of any thing that would do that."

Shinobi - September 3, 2007 07:06 PM (GMT)
"Okay, I admit that it's vague." Jay said seeming to focus most of his attention on the Lucas and Harm's inquires. "And yes, i've had these visions before, the problem is they're usually just vague enough to tell me a situation is going to happen and give me a general idea of it's nature."

He shut his eyes trying to recreate the images in his mind. "Are there any physical features that would help you narrow down who we're dealing with?" He asked after a few seconds.


Robo Sapian meanwhile seemed to have rolled off into the kitchen and had since returned with a drink for Capsule.

kidflash3 - September 3, 2007 07:10 PM (GMT)
Capsule smiled as she recieved her drink from the robo-ape "Tank you" she said to it as she drank it.

mad-libbs - September 3, 2007 09:45 PM (GMT)
"Are there any physical features that would help you narrow down who we're dealing with?"

"Oh I don't know, horns, a tail, a cape," Rose said, picking up Harm's cape for added effect. "TL, if the thing isn't human, that would be a place to start. Are you saying there's nothing defining or unusual, besides the fire breathing, about this thing? Because frankly, what good are the visions if they tell you nothing?"

Shinobi - September 4, 2007 02:50 AM (GMT)
"Like I said..." Teen Lantern responded to Rose, looking a bit sheepish. "the visions normally just give me enough to be considered an early warning, know i'm in danger and have a rough idea of the NATURE of that danger...but...I think I can remember some more about it..."

Jay took a deep breath, trying to focus his thoughts and bring the vision back up in his mind. "Oookay...his skin is a sort of yellow...he does have a cape on...for some reason...his clothes are red...sort of a medieval tunic look...claws and small horns." He finishes, opening his eyes.

"So, am I showing you anything besides a generic demon?"

"Do you require anything else?" Robo Sapian asked.

Marx - September 4, 2007 03:32 AM (GMT)
Harm took in the information, it was still rather vague, but if that's what the vision showed it couldn't be helped. All he could hope would be that they'd have sufficient force to protect Jay's ring from whatever was after it. "Well...medieval tunic, horns, cape and yellow skin definitely say more along the lines of a demon than a dragon. Could still be any number of things, but as you said, I suppose the point of it is that we're aware that something's coming..." Harm stated, seemingly deep in thought.

"And it'd probably be fair to say it's an ancient one as well if it's going for the medieval look." A voice said from the doorway. Harm didn't have to turn to recognize Shinigami's voice. "You got my summon?" "Yeah...though you do realize you have my cell number right? Probably would have been easier..." Duo muttered with a yawn. "Yeah. But this way you got a gist of what was going on before you got here."

Sirdar - September 4, 2007 04:55 AM (GMT)
I paused a moment, long enough for a human to notice. The good news was, at least it narrowed down the search. A little TOO well.

I called up a file on JLA members, and popped up a display window on all active comm screens. "There's only one demon that matches THAT specific a description." I said as I finally decided it was time to risk a foul mood from my programmer as I initiated the Red Alert alarm.

"Etrigan the Demon." I announced. His bio immediately followed on everyone's screens.

Etrigan the Demon was a Demonic prince from Hell. Merlin's half-brother, Etrigan was bound to a human soul the same way the Spectre was. In the hopes, that some humanity might ground and temper Etrigan's somewhat... temperamental and directly brutal first instinct in a given situation.

Etrigan was a fire-breather, and like most creatures in command of fire as a power, was highly coveted by many. Merlin managed to contain him and attempted to use Etrigan to try and save Camelot when it was about to fall at the hands of the witch, Morgaine Le Fay. Camelot still fell, and it was actually due to Etrigan's human half becoming victim to Morgaine's ministrations.

For thousands of years, Etrigan and his human half, Jason Blood, walked the earth. Forever locked in a seemingly endless battle against Morgaine Le Fay, who continually tried to make her son Mordred a king.

Morgaine is known to search for mystic artifacts that may aid her in her quest to grant Mordred the kingdom she promised him. In order to do this for thousands of years, she enchanted her son with immortal youth. Etrigan is known to want to track down whatever Morgaine's after, and get to it before she does.

mad-libbs - September 4, 2007 06:11 AM (GMT)
"Oookay...his skin is a sort of yellow...he does have a cape on...for some reason...his clothes are red...sort of a medieval tunic look...claws and small horns."

As Jay described him, Rose got a sinking feeling in her stomach. The description sounded familiar and she came to the conclusion about the same time LUCAS shared his.

"There's only one demon that matches THAT specific a description."

"Etrigan the Demon," she muttered at the same time LUCAS did. This wasn't good. As she listened to LUCAS list off the history of Etrigan, her bad feeling got worse. "Where there's one, others will follow," she though solemnly.

"Like LUCAS said, Etrigan is usually going after something Morgaine wants, so how about we assume the worst and say, that Morgaine is also after your ring TL. We'd have one helluva fight on our hands." Rose had a feeling Harm had been calling everyone he could, and seeing Duo there made her feel slightly better about their odds. She never really liked magic, and dealing with demons and Morgaine le Fay meant lots of magic.

Marx - September 4, 2007 12:46 PM (GMT)
Harm remained quiet as Etrigan was named, the highest probable one who'd be after the ring. He even remained so after all the history was given for those who weren't familiar with the demon. Duo smirked slightly as she looked over to Will, the name had considerably woken her up as well. "Well, that would definitely be the worst case scenerio. Maybe we'll get lucky and it's another demon that has Etigan's description." There was a bit of a pause as Duo replied to herself. "Yeah, didn't think so either. 'Summoning' some more backup, Harm?" "#%&@ yeah.." Was all Harm said in reply as a puff of smoke appeared in the room. "Geeze Will, haven't you ever heard of a cell phone?" Secret groaned. Duo smirked slightly again. "Should we call Cass and Marx?" "I'm calling Cass and she seems a bit preoccupied helping out Wonder Woman at the moment. She said she'll help out if she can. As for Marx...he's shown a vulnerability to magic. Your call." Duo had already had her phone open until Will pointed that out and closed her phone immediately after.

Shinobi - September 4, 2007 03:18 PM (GMT)
Jay was remaining silent as he watched the other titans who had gathered, whether already there or summoned by Will, making a mental checklist of them.
Harm, Ravager, the new arrivals, Secret and Duo, he thought he'd seen at least one other person at the tower, but that could have been a trick of the light. There was also himself, and if luck, the current Dr. Fate...

"Well, I guess it's time I tilt my hand into this as well...should I see if I can get a hold of Guy?" He asked watching them, he also had to figure out if he should send Capsule back to Star City or let her help face Etrigan...

In a pinch he could also bring some of the other things he'd designed active...

"Guess i'll be ordering a few extra large pizzas instead..." He finally added, trying to lighten the mood.

mad-libbs - September 4, 2007 05:18 PM (GMT)
...should I see if I can get a hold of Guy?"

"Sure, the more the merrier! Let's make it a party! In the mean time, I hope the fight for your ring can wait long enough to let me take a shower. I wanna make a good impression after all!" Rose said with a wink at Jay before sauntering off out of the training room. Rose seemed all smiles, but in reality she was concerned about the whole ordeal. Etrigan meant big problems.

kidflash3 - September 4, 2007 09:29 PM (GMT)
Static was excited that he would be able to kick some demon tail he smirked as he thougt "Let's do this!" Capsule was shocked when it was said that Etrigen was the culprit "I've heard tails about him from Mia!!" she thought as she listened still she wondered how they were going to do this, cause she knew that TL wouldn't leave her out of this one, they were too far into their tradition to break out of it now!

Marx - September 4, 2007 11:43 PM (GMT)
Harm smirked at Rose's comment as she left. "Yeah, it probably would be a good idea for everyone to get prepared one way or another. Just keep in mind, the Shadowpact had to temporarily restructure the entire team after a bout with Etrigan. And that's when Blue Devil was a rhyming class demon." Harm pointed out morbidly only to get a nudge from Duo. "Oh I'm sure you're below a rhyming class demon." Harm rolled his eyes in reply. "I was never given an official rank actually, you?" "Fallen angels don't get ranks. At least we never had to worry about rhyming every time we talked."

Meanwhile Greta's attention was drawn by one word specifically. "Ooo! Pizza? Make sure to get a couple of ones with mushrooms!" "Secret...he was joking. And to answer your earlier question TL, I'd say anyone you can get would help at this point. That goes for everyone in fact." "...but...why would you joke about pizza? That's just mean!"

Shinobi - September 5, 2007 12:23 AM (GMT)
Jay rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Alright, then, i'll try and reach Guy, and don't worry, I'll make sure we all have pizza. Especially if we survive this." He added with a slight smile. "I assume you can all find your way to Ohio right?" He commented, turning away from the screen.

"Hey Teresa, if you have your costume...i'd suggest changing into it...things might get...choppy...soon."

Sirdar - September 5, 2007 11:44 AM (GMT)
"Etrigan the Demon, although known to be rhyming class, is an upper-level demon, and this should not be taken lightly." Fate's voice preceded his predictable dramatic materialization at Jay's house within record time. "There is a way to vanquish most upper-level demons of Etrigan's class, but it's not easy even WITHOUT Etrigan being bound to a human soul. But the truth is, his history makes him not our enemy. At least not directly, although we must prepare for his likely involvement in either case. According to Lucas' information (thank you for interrupting me from astral ninja training with Master Splinter, Lucas!), Etrigan is usually the byproduct of his war with Morgaine's repetitive lunacy regarding her son. I've heard of Mordred. Typical spoiled brat, who learned the desire FOR power from his mother... but has no concept of responsibility with it. Which is why Morgaine's never been able to make his kingship take, even WITH repetitive attempts over the centuries." Fate explained as he found a comfortable seat and steepled his fingers in contemplation.

Capsule looked at TL as he asked her about her gear "You know I brougt it!!" she said as she went and chaned into her gear, her costume looking like a girl version of Arsenal's navaho based suit. "Let's go Bro!" she said loading her cross-shot.

"Gah!" Jay yelped, jumping a bit as the master sorcerer appeared in his house and spoke. "...Do you HAVE to do that?" he asked. "I mean, you can knock, I have a door for a reason...for all you know I could have been naked or something." He said but after his little rant, Fate's words sunk in.

"Okay...so what're the odds Morgaine and Mordred'll show up...and what about Etrigan himself? He have any weaknesses we can exploit? Holy objects? Other forms of magic? Anything?" He asked, motioning Capsule into the room, since it was likely she'd need to hear all of this too.

Rose walked back into the training room, dressed in her costume and ready to go. Seeing everyone still standing there in the training room made her a bit confused.

"So, are we going to get going or what? And why are you all still in here? I only took the call in here because it was easy. You could transfer the damn thing to the main control room you know. Anyway, got anything new to tell me?" Rose listened as Fate talked about Morgaine and Mordred and rolled her eyes. She had made that conclusion already with the help of LUCAS, but apparently no one was listening.

"Okay...so what're the odds Morgaine and Mordred'll show up?"

"Oh I'd say they are about as good as [strike]everyone breaking out in song[/strike] Superman being allergic to Kryptonite. So we've got a spoiled mama's boy, a rhyming demon, and a sorceress? My my, TL you sure are popular. Nothing like a power struggle to break up the monotony nicely!" Rose clapped her hands together. "So, when are we going?" She looked around, smiling expectantly.

Capsule leaned in closer to hear what Fate and TL were saying "This is getting weider all the time!" she thought she looked warningly at Ravager for acting cute at TL "I'll shoot you full of paste ninja girl!" she thought gripping her cross-shot.

"I'll shoot you full of paste ninja girl!"

Rose laughed haughtily at Capsule. "Hahaha, you can try little girl, you can try. But wait till after we've saved the emerald boy wonder there. Don't want you using up all your good moves on me. Besides, I've seen them all already." Rose smiled cockily at her, arms folded in confidence.

"Hey, Will. Do you think it's time we shadow ported and finished this inquiry face to face? I mean, Sirdar is already there. And if somebody should attack, we'll all be there," she clapped Will on the shoulder.

Jay blinked, seeming to have completely missed the reason behind the interaction between Rose and Teresa. Willful ignorance perhaps?

"Aaaaaaaanyway..." Jay said, coughing into his hand. "I'm gonna go call Guy while I have a chance...and please, when you arrive DON'T destroy my house hm? It'd be annoying to hav'ta relocate." He points out.
