So last bit you were discussing what to do next, and Santiago was going over the plans on Elana's phone. He takes the phone and looks. "They are about the same, there are some additional overlays that you have..." He taps the phone. "And now I have the same."
<#bill: Alaistar: “Santiago, pull up Aokigahara. The Sea of Trees.”#>
<#court: Elana nods at him and takes her phone back.#>
Santiago nods, and taps on his PDA.
<#ann: Does Devi the international world traveler know what the Sea of Trees is?#>
Devi, you have heard of it and know its near Mount Fuji but you have never been there
Devi, you have heard of it and know its near Mount Fuji but you have never been there
<#jonah: Fio: “Aokiwwhaa?”#>
<#bill: “Fio, Serena, Elana and I will go there. You, Radley, and Devi will attack Pappas.”#>
<#kate: "Now?"#>
<#court: Elana shoots a discreet apprehensive glance at Serena, and asks, "Why, what is there?"#>
"Nothing," Says Santiago, "which is I think his point."
<#court: Understanding dawns on Elana's face.#>
<#bill: “It will probably take Devi about an hour to get there. Then we will begin the attack.” Alaistar turns to Elana.#>
<#jonah: OOG: "You" in Alaistar's statement referred to Santiago?#
>Serena says, "Well lets get going then."
people? Does anyone move?
<#court: Elana stands up but is waiting for Alaistar.#>
Serena is already standing.
<#kate: Radley remains by the window.#>
<#ann: I thought when we left off last time we were hardcore arguing about what to do?#>
<#kate: ditto.#>
<#jonah: OOG: there was discussion about whether to separate the group or not. Radley was being vocal about attacking now.#>
<#kate: She was just a moment before too.#>
<#bill: If she's voicing opposition now bill doesn't see it.#>
<#kate: He clarified his timing so she's keeping her mouth shut - She asked: Now? earlier - it doesn't matter...let the game go on.#>
<#bill: She hasn't spoken that I've seen)#

<#jonah: Fio: "So we wait for Devi to get tzere, da?"#>
Santiago shows Devi the map on his phone.
<#ann: "We are needing a signal if something is going wrong. If you on the Tree side of the portal see it shift around a big, then you should be jumping through it to come be helping."#>
<#bill: "That why I was hoping Duke could be helping."#>
<#jonah: Fio: "Devi, can you drop Pappas into the forest and then drop us a second later?"#>
<#ann: "I am not wanting you to be standing there waiting if Pappas does not go through the portal as we are planning."#>
<#bill: "If he is, he would stay with the attacking team."#>
<#ann: To Fio: "You can be using the same portal, but there is being the chance that when you go through, so do all of his teammates."#>
<#bill: Alaistar shakes his head. "A risk we must take."#>
<#jonah: Fio: "Sounds better tzan sitting in tze woods if tze real battle is back here."#>
<#bill: "If Duke is with the attacking team, he can keep us informed of the battle. He might also be a great assistance in getting Pappas in the portal with his invisibility. You'll get your chance to attack Fio. In the woods or only slightly later in the hotel."#>
<#court: Elana looks slightly uncomfortable.#>
<#kate: "Or we cut the drive out here and Devi portals it away. It's a good plan but it might not go as planned when the fighting starts."#>
<#jonah: Fio: "What good is sending us tzere first? Why split tze group? What is tze advantage?"#>
<#bill: "The advantage, FIo, is that we don't risk innocent lives in the same way. And we isolate him from his allies. Devi, the quicker you leave, the sooner we can attack. The rest of us should prepare ourselves."#>
<#kate: "An hour?"#>
<#bill: "one hour."#>
<#kate: She opens the window.#>
<#jonah: Fio: "I still tzink tzat is good part of tze plan. But why split tze group? We ALL attack togetzer, and we ALL portal to woods with Pappas. Why not tzat?"#>
<#ann: "If everyone is being agreed to portal to the Trees, I will be leaving and you can all be working out who is going and when."#>
<#jonah: Fio: "Radley, where you go?"#>
<#ann: What time of day is it?#>
It is currently 9:17am. So morning
It is currently 9:17am. So morning
<#kate: "No offense, but I'm not hanging around here for an hour." She thumbs towards the opposite roof. "Think you can get me up there?"#>
Fio thinks he can chuck her that far easily
<#ann: "Are you changing the plan, or are you just going to the roof for an hour? I am not wantting to go all that way for nothing."#>
<#kate: "I'll be back, but sitting here gets me nothing done."#>
<#jonah: Fio gazes across the chasm between the buildings. "Yeah, prolly can. But how you gettin back? And what if someone sees you flying across the sky? Might put the whole plan at risk."#>
FYI the gap is about 10 feet. It’s not a huge distance
<#jonah: there's a rooftop 10 feet away?#>
A short building abutting this one yes.
<#jonah: there's a rooftop 10 feet away?#>
A short building abutting this one yes.
<#kate: "So would me walking out the door."#>
<#jonah: "Jump it yourself, woman! Always trying to get my hands on you." Fio winks.#>
<#bill: Alaistar looks at Elana questioningly, concern-like.#>
<#ann: "How closely are you thinking Pappas is having this hotel watched right now? I am thinking that my sneaking is not as camouflaged as it is usually being. Keeping the portal open means I am moving from shadow to shadow, not jumping from shadow to shadow. I can be seen in the places between shadows."#>
<#kate: "All a girl can do is ask," she says with a grin."#>
<#jonah: Fio: "Okay okay, I'll do it. But I'm coming witz you, in case sometzing happen. You know like 'buddy system'."#>
<#court: Elana: "Maybe there is something we could all be doing rather than sitting here."#>
<#kate: "I afraid I need a little time to clean up. it's kind of a one person job."#>
<#bill: Alaistar shakes his head. "Any leaving is a risk. One is a risk, more than one is a greater risk?"#>
<#kate: "Fine, then Devi before you go could you procure me a phone?"#>
Santiago digs into his pocket and tosses you a go-phone. "Is clean, lifted it at the airport."
<#kate: She cocks him an eyebrow as if to ask if it's clean of Saintness too.#>
He smiles and holds up his hands, "I haven't had time. Saints honor."
<#kate: She nods in thanks. "If you'd pardon me," and goes into the bathroom."#>
SEE LINK
<#bill: Alaistar turns to Devi and nods. "Go."#>
The bathroom door shuts. The water starts to run.
<#ann: Still waiting on response to how carefully Pappas is monitoring the building. Not sure how paranoid he is.
<#jonah: Fio turns to Santiago: "Hey, you check tze room for bugs I assume?"#>
<#court: Elana: "Alaistar, do you object to any of us going in the hallway?"#>
Santiago shoots Fio a "Who do you think you are dealing with an amature?" look.
<#bill: Assuming she pauses, "You are right it's a risk. But you will either have to teleport out and jump shadow to shadow back or do the reverse. It's unavoidable. I trust you to be you’re most discreet." He gives her a confident smile. He pauses for a reaction but is then going to turn to Elana....#>
Alaistar had a full head of hair upon departure from the Guild
<#bill: Alaistar's hair is exactly how it was prior to it all getting burned off: thick, midnight black, beautiful.#>
<#jonah: I do want to know what Alaistar did to his hair.#>
Is Devi going?
<#ann: I guess so.#>
I don't want to RP out the hour for sanity's sake

<#jonah: Fio: "By the way, Al, your new wig is pretty good... looks vary real."#>
<#ann: I leave. Well, really, I just disappear.#>
Devi vanishes.
<#bill: Alaistar looks at Elana. "It is a risk. Did you need privacy?"#>
<#court: "It would be nice"#>
<#jonah: Fio then wants to ask Santiago for more details about the crazy wraith/rune in his chest.#>
<#bill: Alaistar thinks for a moment. "You may have to wait until Radley finishes for the bathroom. Otherwise, I can promise not to listen and to keep Fio busy on the other side of the room."#>
<#court: Elana answers slowly, "I was asking what you thought about going in the hallway, not asking you to mediate privacy for me..."#>
<#bill: "I think it is a bad idea, and should only be done if absolutely necessary."#>
<#court: "Alright." Elana sits down.#>
<#bill: Alaistar nods. He moves into an empty corner of the room and sits down. He begins to meditate.#>
<#jonah: Fio cries quietly in the corner, as Alaistar ignores his question.#>
<#court: Elana is looking at her phone.#>
<#bill: oog: before i could answer you started talking to others...he's free to reapproach)#>
<#jonah: didn't say anything -- but no matter!#>
<#bill: you turned to Santiago asked a question. Shit, with the old chat gone i can't look, but then i misunderstood.#>
<#bill: oh, jonah, i think i misunderstood before...when you said i didn't answer your question. i thought you meant about the splitting up strategy. now, upon rereading, it looks like you meant the wig question...which i didn't see the first time around.#>
<#jonah: ah ok. I meant the wig thing :)#>
<#bill: sorry...i just missed it.#>
<#jonah: I've dropped the strategy discussion... for now ;) no prob #>
<#bill: :-) on that one you did turn away before i could respond. admittedly, i was slow, because i was trying to calculate a response which didn't blow you off, but didn't invite a new debate.#>
<#jonah: :)#

<#jonah: :)#
<#jonah: Fio: "Wait Al - weren't you bald yesterday?"#>
<#bill: Alaistar opens his eyes. "Yes, I grew my hair back."#>
<#jonah: "Woah, some crazy drink from Nemo?"#>
<#bill: "No, I..." he smiles, "told it to grow back."#>
<#court: Elana: "Alaistar... I apologize, but I think I will need to go out in the hallway. I will be discreet. And I will not be long. I will not leave the building."#>
<#bill: Alaistar looks grim, acknowledges her a nod, but not one of agreement.#>
<#jonah: "Wait, Elana, I tzink he is right, it's better to stay... why you want to leave?"#>
<#court: Elana grabs his arm and steers him to a corner on the other side of the room.#>
<#bill: Alaistar closes his eyes again and meditates.#>
<#jonah: Fio motions Santiago over.#>
Santiago stands and comes over to the corner.
SEE LINK
Radley, returned to a redhead and normal skin along with a new black hoodie, returns out of the bathroom.
<#kate: She notes Alaistar in the corner meditating, and the others in the corner. She heads to the window. #>
<#bill: Did she take a bag into the bathroom?#>
<#kate: no #>
<#bill: were your outer garments really bulky before?#>
<#kate: they were what Virgil had given her.#>
Alaistar I believe has his eyes closed?
<#bill: but i will see her eventually.#>
So knows she’s out of the bathroom
<#bill: i can sense footsteps.#>
So he knows she’s out of the bathroom
<#bill: yeah, but i will see her when i open my eyes...i can't ask now? my eyes were open when she entered and i know she didn't come out in the interim.....#>
Fine he can open and see now, tada
<#bill: i will open later.#>
okay
<#bill: I'm just asking now. I will forget all i have seen if she changes in the interim, i promise.#>
<#kate: matters not to me.#
><#kate: no #>

<#kate: matters not to me.#
<#kate: She plays look out at the window.#>
Santiago is in the corner playing with his room key.
<#jonah: Fio walks over and pokes Al. "Pssssst"#>
<#bill: Alaistar opens his eyes and looks at Fio.#>
<#kate: Splits her focus between the windows and the inside.#>
<#jonah: "So we need to maybe change plans a bit."#>
<#court: Elana holds out a hotel key (regular plastic card key to the room generally) "This is the key to Pappas' room."#>
<#bill: "Go on," Alaistar says.#>
<#kate: "So we don't have to break down the door...."#>
<#court: "yes."#>
<#bill: "Brilliant," Alaistar says, looking at Elana. He looks back at Fio, waiting...#>
<#jonah: Fio "So we don't have to break in any more. We go in sneakylike, and catch the bastard unaware."#>
<#kate: "I don't think sneaking through the door is going to catch him unawares."#>
<#bill: Alaistar nods at Radley's statement.#>
<#court: Curiously, "Why?" #>
<#jonah: "You tzink he's expecting someone to have a key to his room?"#>
<#kate: "No, that's exactly the point. So anyone who's entering is someone he's not expecting."#>
<#bill: "His security will certainly extend beyond the room anyway. The key is simply to move quickly once we move."#>
<#kate: "But thanks to them we have the key."#>
<#bill: "Yes, and perhaps two points of entry will work better."#>
<#kate: "Then I think Serena should flank through the window."#>
<#bill: "I was going to leave the particulars of the assault to you and Santiago As I didn't want my fingerprints on it. It should seem like you two are attacking."#>
<#kate: "Thoughtful."#>
<#bill: “Your styles. Serena will be with the other team."#>
<#kate: "You'd mentioned taking Serena with you. But she's the only one I know of here besides Devi that could flank the room."#>
<#jonah: Fio pipes up "I could get in dzat way."#>
<#kate: "it's just an idea - you're el heffe here. "I don't mean to speak for her," she says with a deferential nod to Serena, "but I think she'd be a lot less suspicious looking than a beefy Russian." She gives Fio an apologetic glance.#>
<#bill: "True...but her presence would indicate a larger involvement of the Nine. She has never worked with you and Santiago before..."#>
<#jonah: Fio shrugs.#>
<#bill: "Duke can flank from the window should it be necessary."#>
<#kate: "I'm not here to plan....I'm here for muscle and fingerprints."#>
For ease, and so ann can play is everyone cool with some fast forwarding?
<#court: sure.#>
<#kate: yup #>
Is there more chatting to do?
<#bill: no.#>
okay keep on keeping on then Bill. Let me know when you are ready for fast forwarding.
<#jonah: yes. but Kel I want to have a separate chat later with Santiago can be self-contained.#>
<#bill: no, i was saying no more chatting.#>
oh sorry. Okay
<#jonah: FF?#>
ping other Ann window
<#court: OOG: I realize we FFed, but we talked about changing the plan and then... didn't decide what it was?)
<#kate: I don't believe the plan changed after the info about the key. The key just made it easier#>
<#bill: Damn it jonah!#>
<#jonah: OOG: Fio is bringing this up at this point.#>
<#court: oh sorry, maybe I misunderstood. Elana still has the key, fwiw.#>
<#bill: Yeah, you could still give them the key...but they're deciding what they are doing...meaning Santiago and Radley and Duke?#>
<#court: I'm just mentioning for role playing purposes, where it is, before I disappear through a portal. Elana is not making a move to give it to anyone at this moment.#>
And Santiago is not asking for it
<#kate: Neither is Radley.#
><#court: sure.#>
<#kate: yup #>
Is there more chatting to do?
<#bill: no.#>
okay keep on keeping on then Bill. Let me know when you are ready for fast forwarding.

<#bill: Damn it jonah!#>

<#court: I'm just mentioning for role playing purposes, where it is, before I disappear through a portal. Elana is not making a move to give it to anyone at this moment.#>
And Santiago is not asking for it
<#kate: Neither is Radley.#
<#ann: alright, at long last Devi appears out of nowhere. "The portal is being set up in an ice cave in the middle of nowhere. If you are still wanting to send some people, then you can be doing that now."#>
<#bill: Alaistar gets to his feet.#>
<#kate: Radley heads to the room's door.#>
Santiago stands and goes to Radley's side.
<#bill: He moves towards the portal and looks at Elana and Fio.#>
Serena blows past everyone and goes into the portal.
<#jonah: Fio: "So Al, why you still want to split us up? Isn't it better if we all here?"#>
<#bill: Alaistar looks at Fio and sighs. "Bad timing, Fio. Let's discuss it on the other side."#>
Santiago looks ready to go.
<#court: Elana goes towards the portal and through.#>
<#jonah: Fio stays put. Fio "I'll come trough later witz pappas and you guys”, pointing to Radley and Santiago.#>
<#bill: "Fio, if he goes through the portal we need people strong enough to attack him there. To hold him there for out attack to succeed. You push him through and we can't hold him...he escapes. People need to be there. You need to be there. Elana and I need your strength." Alaistar moves to the portal.#>
<#ann: "I am wanting to make the portal big enough that he cannot easily grab something. I might be taking some of his associates with him. Is it more important to ensure he comes through on teh first try, or more important to take him alone?"#>
<#bill: "To take him through," Alaistar says to her. "If you try and fail, he'll be that much harder thereafter."#>
<#jonah: Fio: "You can hold him, Al. I have had enough waiting, and I want to be in on tzis side of tzings. See you in tze woods."#>
<#bill: Alaistar walks through the portal.#>
