[15:24] <Gee_Emm> Meanwhile, back with Shara, Aru is scratching his nuts.
[15:25] <Gee_Emm> <Josiah> "Do you always do that?" <Aru> "What?" <Josiah> "That." * Aru doesn't get it.
[15:25] <Shara_Lanator> "Yes, he always does that."
[15:26] <Gee_Emm> * Josiah thinks...
[15:26] <Gee_Emm> <Josiah> "Does he have something?"
[15:27] <Shara_Lanator> "I think it's just the combination of hair, alcohol, and sweat."
[15:27] <Gee_Emm> <Josiah> "..." <Aru> "..."
[15:27] <Shara_Lanator> "But I'm no doctor."
[15:29] <Gee_Emm> <Josiah> "Corporal Lanator, how did you get involved in this enterprise. All I know about you is that you're not an Imperial citizen..."
[15:31] <Shara_Lanator> "Well, um, the team and I both were in similar sorts of trouble so we ended up working together to get out of it."
[15:32] <Shara_Lanator> "Shouldn't we go watch Mithras compete?"
[15:32] <Gee_Emm> <Josiah> "Life makes for strange bedfellows."
[15:32] <Gee_Emm> <Josiah> "Yes, I was just thinking about that. There's no holovid screen in here to watch the games on..."
[15:35] <Gee_Emm> <Josiah> "Should we try to bully our way into the stands, or find a sports bar?"
[15:35] <Gee_Emm> * Josiah thinks... do they even have sports bars on Yondalas...
[15:35] <Shara_Lanator> "We'd stand out in the stands, but something might come up and Mithras might need our help.
[15:38] <Gee_Emm> <Josiah> "I will rely on your judgement."
[15:42] <Shara_Lanator> "Hmmm."
[15:42] <Gee_Emm> * You hear that the matches have started.
[15:43] <Shara_Lanator> "Let's find us a screen to watch it, as close to the field as possible."
[15:44] <Gee_Emm> <Josiah> "Certainly. Aru, you stay here by the gate to the field. I have a feeling that if we need you, you'll hear the noise. Lead the way Corporal."
[15:45] <Gee_Emm> * Aru grunts.
[15:46] * Shara_Lanator works her way towards the field. Once she reaches an entraces, she backtracks slowly until she finds a screen from which to watch.
[15:47] <Gee_Emm> The nearest screen has a healthy crowd around it, and there's a vendor selling various food and drinks nearby.
[15:47] <Shara_Lanator> "This looks good."
[15:48] <Gee_Emm> <Josiah> "Yes."
[15:53] * Shara_Lanator watches the carnage, and hopes Mithras gets a lucky first pairing.
[15:53] <Gee_Emm> So far the bouts have all been one-sided affairs. The Camera takes every opportunity to pan over the waiting fighters, and the screen tells who they are. Whenever Mithras comes up it says "Mithras Venturi, Imperial Team, Estimated chance of victory 0%."
[15:56] <Shara_Lanator> "They seem awfully sure of that...something must be up."
[15:57] <Gee_Emm> A collosal battle between a robot and a huge Yeti just ended in a ring out victory for the Yeti. The robot on closeups looks like he wants a rematch.
[16:01] <Gee_Emm> Mithras's fight is up next.
[16:01] <Gee_Emm> But... Josiah is nowhere to be found.
[16:02] * Shara_Lanator heads towards the field entrance.
[16:03] <Shara_Lanator> (( quickly ))
[16:03] <Gee_Emm> That's not too hard to do, but what do you plan on accomplishing?
[16:04] * Shara_Lanator watches the two size each other up, while looking about to see if she notices anything abnormal.
[16:07] <Gee_Emm> There's nothing abnormal here, and definately no sign of Josiah.
[16:08] * Shara_Lanator looks around. .oO (Where's Aru?)
[16:08] <Gee_Emm> Aru is not here.
[16:09] * Shara_Lanator tenses, and keeps a lookout for anybody making their way towards her.
[16:10] <Gee_Emm> Make a roll against perception.
[16:10] <Shara_Lanator> !roll 1d100
[16:10] <Highwind> Shara_Lanator - 1d100: 36 ( Total: 36 )
[16:11] <Gee_Emm> You notice the Dragoon dropping from above at the last second.
[16:12] * Shara_Lanator dodges out of the way, drawing her spear and aiming it towards the dragoon.
[16:12] <Gee_Emm> * Dragoon slams into the ground, cracking the concrete.
[16:12] <Gee_Emm> <Dragoon> "Damn."
[16:13] <Shara_Lanator> "What the hell do you want?"
[16:14] <Gee_Emm> <Dragoon> "You."
[16:14] <Shara_Lanator> "Bring it."
[16:15] * Shara_Lanator readies, waiting for the man to make the first move.
[16:15] <Gee_Emm> * Dragoon is joined by a pair of plain clothes guys with guns.
[16:16] * Shara_Lanator glaces up for a split second. (Any rafters/walkways/etc?)
[16:18] <Gee_Emm> Well, you could duck back inside and try to lose them that way, or you could duck outside into the stands. Right where you're at, there's no convenient means of escape.
[16:21] * Shara_Lanator heads towards the stands, better to keep an eye on Mithras if she can.
[16:22] <Gee_Emm> !roll 1d100
[16:22] <Highwind> Gee_Emm - 1d100: 15 ( Total: 15 )
[16:22] <Gee_Emm> You're cut off by another pair of plain clothes gunmen.
[16:23] * Shara_Lanator lunges at one, less to attack him and more to make a path through.
[16:25] <Shara_Lanator> (( roll to attack or just rp through it? ))
[16:25] <Gee_Emm> Your choice.
[16:26] <Shara_Lanator> (( just trying to knock them out of the way ))
[16:28] <Gee_Emm> You knock him out of the way, just in time for Aru to finish plummeting from on high and crushing the other to death in a bloody spatter.
[16:29] * Shara_Lanator looks down. "Oh shit! OH SHIT!"
[16:30] <Gee_Emm> Marcus lands on top of the Dragoon pursuing you, in a similiar manner.
[16:30] * Shara_Lanator panics and starts running for the stands, shoving anyone in her way.
[16:32] * Shara_Lanator hears the gunfire and looks down towards the field.
[16:33] <Gee_Emm> * The medics have both fighters on a stretcher as the announcer says that Mithras won, but may be disqualified.
[16:34] <Shara_Lanator> "Shit!"
[16:34] * Shara_Lanator looks to see if she has any persuers, and then tries to get to Mithras.
[16:35] <Gee_Emm> The people following you have apparently given up. And Mithras is being toted off the field rather rapidly through a gate that's not to far from you.
[16:35] * Shara_Lanator drops down from the stands and takes off towards Mithras.
