Chapter 5: Revelations of the Past

(He chuckles at her statement)
@Ash
Its alright.

(He goes over to the bed, sitting)

=She follows sitting next to Draco, she leans her head on his shoulder=
Sorry.. I don't mean to be a downer...

=She sighs=
Shame... Looked like it was going to be a nice day...

(looking out the window)
@Ash
Everyday is a nice day when I get to see and talk to you.

I don't think violence is the way forward.

The man appears again, sat on a bench nearby


He laughs.

Quote :

I don't want it to be that way either, but if these people die, when I might've stopped it...

=i see the man= Hey! Let us out! Why can't we just live in peace?!

=She laughs quietly, as she turns and smiles at Draco=
Draco... Your so sweet... How long have you been holding onto that line..?

=She laughs as she leans up kissing him=

(He returns her kiss)
@Ash
Never used it before.
Never.

=She laughs=
Well it works...

=She continues to kiss Draco=

Quote :

Come back here, dammit! Sonofa...

=i fall asleep and wake up in the ship again= ...bitch. Hey, Jay, you ok?

Fine.

I gesture to the corridor ahead

Come on, this way. Lets go get something online.

Quote :

=i get up and follow Jay, keeping an eye out for the Dream Lord. we find engineering= Seems like a good place as any to start trying to get things working. Shall we?

=i go to open the door=

Don't do that. Engineering will be de pressurized. Otherwise it'd be too easy. We have to think smart here.

(He smiles at her)
(He kisses her once more)

Quote :

=i pull my hand back= Okay, but other than the bridge and engineering, where can we get sensors online? Only other place is comms, but that's right next to the bridge, and the bridge is gone. You have any ideas?

I think for a moment

What if we gathered up a few terminals, linked them into the main ships hub, reached out on the b.net and re-routed power back to the ship?

=She sighs slowly pulling away from Draco=
I'm sorry.. I just can't...

=She looks down, her eyes meet the floor=
I just can't calm down... This is just to strange...

Quote :

That might work, granted I have no idea what you just said, but it could work. Let's go find us some terminals.

=i start walking down the hallway, Jay following=

(He looks at her)
@Ash
I know what you mean.
Just............

(He sighs)

I dont know

Your supposed to be a tech guy.

I sigh

Maybe we should split up and look. Cover more ground?

=She looks up at him, kissing him once more on the cheek=
Sorry...

=She stands up, walking over to the window staring out of it=

Quote :

Programs, not wiring. And good idea, I'll go this way. =i point down a hall= Meet you back in the messhall in a few minutes?

=i stop and turn to face her=

Good, just be careful. De pressurized halls and that.

I smile and kiss him on the cheek before i head off down an opposing hall.

(He smiles, remembering back)
@Ash
Hey, remember our first real talk.
When I convinced you to stay.
Seeing you standing at the window reminded me of it.

Quote :

=i smile and head off down the hall. i look in doors as i go past, i see flames in some, debris in others, and spotless clean in others. i ignore the ones with no debris or fires, as those are likely depressurized. i keep going as I try to find some terminals=

=She turns her head to him and smiles=
It feels like so along ago... Things were so different back then...

=Her eyes clouded with thought=
I never truly got to say thank you...

=two men sit at a table gambling, with 5 other men standing around=

Man1:alright, Three Aces! =slams cards down showing the Aces of Spades, Diamonds, and Clubs, and two other cards=

Scythe:........ Four Kings. I win, That'll be 20,000 Credits... =My Helmet reflects the cards on the table=

Man1: That's not fair you cheated!

Scythe: How?...

Man1: you have cards in your glove!

=I removes my glove and a box of cards with a Jack-o-lantern on it falls out=

Scythe: you caught me....

=the men standing around the table draw pistols pointing them at my head=

Scythe: Well aren't I in trouble...

=I reach for the staff in the sheath on my back...=

(He walks up behind her and hugs her)
@Ash
I would have done anything for you then.
And I will still do anything for you now.
You are welcome.

Quote :

=i fall asleep and wake up next to the pond again, with Jay. i sigh and help her up again= Well, that's annoying.

Worse than you think. Im going to die on the ship if we dont get back soon. Lets think. Is the ship a dream? I mean it has to be right? How could it be real....

I sit down at the edge of the pond and watch a couple of elites harassing some citizens absent-mindedly

Quote :

=i sit down next to her and put my arm around her= I don't know. I prefer this life, if it has any affect on things.

=i pull her a little closer= I don't want the ship to be real. I want this to be real. But it doesn't matter as long as I am with you.

=She smiles again hugging him back=
I was so confused that day... I was so lost... It was strange, waking up fourteen years later... It had all changed...

=She takes hold of his hand as she lets go of him=
You know I would always do the same right..?

(He looks into her eyes)
@Ash
Yes, I do.
I love you Ash.
More than my own life.
More than this world.

=I stand up=

Man2: Hey! you said it yourself, you bet your life and your belongings!

Scythe: Sorry, but obviously you don't know how I gamble... =I pull the staff out =

Man3: Put that down Pal!

Scythe: I'm not your pal....=activates the staff, making a curved blade come out the end, Forming a scythe=

=one of the men step back(Man7)=

Man7: What is that!?

Scythe: The last thing you'll see... =i grin=

=I lunge, swinging the weapon around, cutting the men in half=

Scythe: I'll take my money...

Draco... I...

=She stares into his eyes=
I love you too... Nothing will ever change that, nothing...

=She kisses him, still holding his hand=

Thats why we need to work out which is the dream.

One of the elite teams heads on over to us, shouting and asking questions in our faces

=I walk out of the bar with my money and deactivate my scythe=

Scythe: It's nice outside...

=I walk down the street=

I should of cleaned up the mess I made in the Bar... meh, the custodian will find them and clean it up...

Quote :

=i stand and face the elites= What do you want? I don't know any prisoner 54. Can you please just leave us alone? We are having a hard time right now, and we don't need you to add to it. Please, just go.

=i turn back to Jay and hold out my hand= C'mon, let's go get some peace and quiet.

One of the elites grabs Dormii, throwing him to the ground.

Uhh i think we should run. Like now.

I stand up, pulling Dormii with me and we begin to run

Quote :

Asshole. =i run next to Jay= What are we going to do? They aren't the most friendly of people, are they?

Well i don't think they'd have left us alone. Deadly danger and all that. I don't think we have a choice here. We just need to get somewhere quiet and try to figure this out.

A couple of needles fly over our heads

Okay thats bad.

(He hugs her again)
(silent)
(His eyes flash)

=I continue walking=

I should probably head back to the ship, but then again I could use another drink...

=I begin to look for another Bar=

Quote :

Very bad. =a needle enters my lower leg, i trip and fall= Argh, sonofabitch!

=i turn to look at the Elites= C'mon, you assholes! If you want to kill me you will have to do better than that!

I grab Dormii and pull him up, putting his arm over my shoulder

Come on, we have to get away from here.

The birdsong starts up again as we turn a corner. I point to a bush.

In there quick.

=She saw his eyes flash for a moment=
Draco..? Are you okay...?

=She turns her head=
What a stupid question....

Quote :

=i hobble along to the bush and fall asleep. i find myself back in the hallway i just left, my leg injured, but my armor preventing bleeding. i go over to an intercomm= Jay, you there? Where are you? You need help?

=I walk into a bar and have a seat=

let's see... I still need to find this guy... =I pull out a photo=

They shouldn't be that hard find...

@Ash
Yeah, Im good.

(He walks over to the bed again and sits down)
