Conquering the Stars: Pain
Part 1: Preparation
[14:55] <Demonic_Gerbil> You two ready?
[14:55] <mattw> yep
[14:56] <Demonic_Gerbil> Okay then. Matt, I hereby put you in charge of writing the paragraph of recap text. :p
[14:56] <Newbie_X> Ready.
[14:56] <mattw> Dammit.
[14:56] <mattw> I'm not ready then yet. >.>
[14:56] * Demonic_Gerbil is now known as Gee_Emm
[14:57] * Newbie_X is now known as Mithras
[14:57] * mattw is now known as Shara_Lanator
[14:57] <Gee_Emm> Fine, I'll do it. :p
[14:58] <Gee_Emm> When last we left our heroes they were chillin' in their locker room with a new friend after dumping some terrorist chick off at the hospital. Mithras got shagged again, and it should be morning any minute now. Let's watch.
[14:59] * Mithras ends up being the first one awake, and is already stretching out at dawn.
[15:00] * Mithras checks on the other party members, his new CO first.
[15:00] <Gee_Emm> * Josiah is sleeping.
[15:01] * Mithras goes to Shara, then.
[15:01] * Shara_Lanator is sleeping.
[15:01] <Mithras> "..."
[15:02] <Mithras> "I guess I was up earlier than I thought."
[15:02] * Mithras goes to wake up Shara, followed by Josiah.
[15:03] <Mithras> "Corporal Lanator, we need to start preparing for today."
[15:03] <Shara_Lanator> "Huh? I don't wanna get up.....oh....sorry."
[15:03] * Shara_Lanator sits up, yawns, and rubs her eyes.
[15:03] * Mithras smirks a bit. "No big problem."
[15:03] <Gee_Emm> * Aru wakes up and magically produces a flask of something, which he immediately quaffs.
[15:04] <Mithras> "...and Aru's being useless again."
[15:04] <Shara_Lanator> "Typical. How's our new bossman?"
[15:04] <Gee_Emm> * Aru grows in size, as if he's fueled by the raw power of alchohol!
[15:04] <Gee_Emm> * Aru lets out a Yeti roar!
[15:05] <Mithras> "Asleep, too. -or, at least he probably was."
[15:05] <Mithras> "Aru, what are you doing?"
[15:05] <Gee_Emm> <Aru> "Waking up."
[15:05] <Gee_Emm> * Aru scratches his nuts.
[15:06] <Mithras> "Oh. That's good, then. Nice to see you not drunk for once, too."
[15:06] <Gee_Emm> <Josiah> "Ugh. What was the noise."
[15:06] <Mithras> "That was Techspec Momo, sir."
[15:06] * Shara_Lanator springs from bed and stretches a bit.
[15:07] <Gee_Emm> <Josiah> "So I've noticed. Well, you've got a big day Corporal."
[15:08] * Serigo (RobCrosby@cs68203146-92.houston.rr.com) has joined #aria
[15:08] <Mithras> "Yes, sir, I do. I've been preparing somewhat this morning, and I only need to pick up a couple supplies before I'm ready."
[15:10] <Gee_Emm> <Josiah> "Good, good."
[15:11] <Mithras> (( Are we still at the stadium, or a hotel, or what? ))
[15:12] <Gee_Emm> ((Locker room. Duh. Like you all would leave that place and be placed in the care of the local police again. :p))
[15:12] <Mithras> (( True. ))
[15:12] <Mithras> "So, sir, if I may have your leave, I will finish up my supplying."
[15:13] <Gee_Emm> <Josiah> "Do what you need to do."
[15:13] <Mithras> "Yes, sir."
[15:13] * Mithras walks off to the nearest Item store in the Stadium.
[15:13] <Shara_Lanator> "Sir, what are the plans for us while Mithras does his thing?"
[15:14] <Gee_Emm> <Josiah> "Wait. There's nothing else to do, really."
[15:14] * Shara_Lanator nods.
[15:16] <Gee_Emm> Lo and behold, Mithras arrives at the nearest item store unmolested!
[15:16] <Mithras> (( Yay! ))
[15:17] <Gee_Emm> > <Store> "Yo."
[15:17] <Mithras> "Hi. I'm going to need to buy three Potions for the competition later today."
[15:18] <Gee_Emm> <Store> That'll be 150 gil, or creds.
[15:18] <Gee_Emm> +
[15:18] * Mithras hands over the 150 gil, or creds, or whatever he has at the moment.
[15:18] <Gee_Emm> ((And all you got are lousy Talents.))
[15:19] <Gee_Emm> <Store> "Sir, we don't take Imperial funny money here."
[15:20] <Mithras> "...okay, then. Where can I exchange my money?"
[15:20] <Gee_Emm> <Store> "At a bank, I'd imagine."
[15:20] <Mithras> "I imagine. Where is a nearby bank?"
[15:21] <Gee_Emm> <Store> "There's a branch of the Conetti Familia Bank and Reserve near the stadium's North Gate."
[15:21] <Mithras> "I see. I'll be back soon, then."
[15:22] * Mithras checks how much time he has left.
[15:23] <Gee_Emm> You got up at the crack of dawn, the show doesn't start until 9. Say about an hour.
[15:24] * Mithras decides that he doesn't have much time to lose, and he needs healing items, so he heads off quickly to the bank.
