Kimblee's Crash Pad

[amouri]

Barry chuckled sheepishly and lowered his head slightly.
"Alright alright, sorry Missy, I won't cause trouble again."

Barry glanced at Kimblee as the alchemist relayed instructions.
"You might like to know that the lab was designed with a specific notion in mind; its much easier to get IN than it is to get OUT. It might look like a fortress, but the main idea was that us guardians made sure no-one came out alive. Its a trap."
He leaned an elbow on the table.
"I can sure navigate inside the lab, but the exits will be a bit trickier."

((Admiral Ackbar: IT'S A TRAP!))

[Zolf J Kimblee]

He held the door open as they all rose to their feet, prepared to depart. "You ready, Barry?" he asked solemnly. Crimmy shot to his feet at the sound of the door being opened and made a dash for the door. "Ohhh, no you don't!" Zolf said, pushing the kitten back with his foot. With a sigh of exasperation, he picked up the cat and waited for his group to file out before walking out himself, putting the cat back inside and quickly shutting and locking the door.

He turned for a quick glance, watching as Crimmy hopped in the window, mewing in protest at being left out of the action again. "Sorry my furry little bud, you can't come along."

He reached into his pocket and found the philosopher's stone was there, and said a silent prayer to a god he didn't really believe in that everything would work out with the fewest hassles along the way.

Riza

Riza quickened her pace, keeping up along Barry. She hooked her arm through his metal elbow, glancing up in excitement she couldn't supress. "It wont be long now, Barry." she said with a small smile. "What's the first thing you plan to do once you get your body back?" she asked. "I'm guessing you'll want to have a really large meal and then maybe a bath and then a long, long nap."

[velinda]

Roze kept quiet during all of this, only having a small snigger at what Riza said to the two males. However, when Kimblee told her to hop inside Barry when things got rough, she nodded. "That should be fine, provided they don't stun Barry somehow. Then they have two captives." She shrugged, and followed them out, laughing at the cat. "Sorry, little bud, but not today..." Once they had all left, she took the last spot, and walked in silence, thinking about her own things, and what she had to deal with...

[amouri]

Barry got to his feet with the rest, and filed out of the door past Zolf.
He chuckled quietly at the kitten, as they walked out into the night.

He looked down with an invisible smile as Riza caught up with him.
"Sleep. Food. That'll be nothing against actually breathing again. I'll probably be hyperventilating till I pass out."
He chuckled and glanced at her mischievously.
"And yet, you seem almost more excited than me. What would <i>your</i> plans happen to be if we get this thing sorted out?"
He couldn't help putting a slight emphasis on the 'if'.
He had a feeling they had only just begun, and he doubted they would manage to gain back his body and manage to return him to it in one night.
They didn't even know whether it was at Lab Five or not.

Once again he felt a pang of gratitude to Kimblee.
Being thankful wasn't one of his virtues, and he still didn't really know how he could repay Zolf.
When the situation arose though, he wouldn't hesitate to help.
Zolf owed him one.

A thought hit him, and he glanced at Zolf.
"Zolf, about defending ourselves, I know you'll be fine with your alchemy and all, but in case you need a weapon, there are several deposit rooms placed around the lab where supplies for experiments were kept. There'll be weapons among that. Riza has her gun." He glanced down at her. "At least, I sure hope she does. Rose has the knife given to her by Siran. Siran probably has enough ammunition to kill someone a thousand times, and I can easily handle until I get the chance to pick something up."

((There is currently a thread going in lab five with Dante, a few of her men, Nikanarou, Hikari, Roy, another person, and a hell of a lot of unleashed chimeras. Should we join that?))

[syradarkangelle]

Siran looked at the group,as she followed them. She kept quiet and followed,as she said, "if i have to activate a circle,get out of the vicinity quick. I do not want to catch anybody in our little group. I still have not taught myself how to get it under control."

"But knowing me,I will just kill anyone that gets in my way." she smirked.

[velinda]

[That thread is long dead, unless you're talking about the newer one, where Hikari just met with Dante.]

[amouri]

(Yes, that one )

[Zolf J Kimblee]

[Okay, what's the thread called? I vote we move on. This thread is threatening to become a quagmire of inactivity. I haven't felt very inspired lately. ]

Riza

She blushed slightly at Barry's remark and looked away. She was grateful that the relative darkness would hide some of the blush. And there was no way she would verbalize what she'd been thinking. Not in front of the entire group.

"Wouldn't you like to know." she answered Barry with a slight raise of her chin and a secret smile.

Kimblee

He glanced at Roze with a slightly worried look. He wondered whether it was even a good idea for her to be here, but he hated leaving her behind as well. (I honestly can't see Roze participating in this venture, but I guess it can't be helped. I don't like ppl being left out. ) "You just be careful baby doll," he said, "Don't brandish that blade Siran gave you unless you mean business."

As the strode through the streets, taking the least busy areas and dark alley short cuts, he quietly instructed the group further. "Now..once we get there we need to avoid confrontations as much as we can. That's means no alchemy, Siran. You and me both. Not unless there's no choice. Barry, you take us where the weapons are stashed. I can use a pig sticker or a gun. Either's fine with me."

[velinda]

[Easier Said than Done]

Roze nodded to Kimblee. "I don't plan too, Kimblee. Don't worry about me. Just worry about your job, and what you're doing here." She gave a meaningful head jerk towards Barry.

With that said, she followed the group quietly, staying near the officer for protection, because, quite frankly, she didn't think she COULD use the blade if the situation called for it. And in that case, the officer would protect her- or so she hoped. Then again, maybe she wouldn't, if she viewed her as nothing less than a filthy Ishballian. Then again, they haven't really had an argument- or was that just them avoiding conflict...? She remembered having the conversation before... but...

"Riza... What do you really think of me...?" she asked the officer in a whisper only the officer could hear. She didn't really want Kimblee listening in on this...

[Zolf J Kimblee]

Riza

She sighed when Roze approached with her question. She'd never been very good at candidness and bluntness. When she was, she always seemed to hurt people's feelings. She didn't mince words and she didn't gild the lily either. She was direct and sometimes brutal with her honesty.

"I'm not sure what you're needing to hear Roze.." she said, finally. "I think you seem rather insecure and unsure of yourself...and a bit lost."

"But I can tell that you're sincere and honest and have a good heart. You have faith in people and you have hope." she added. "I think you would be good for Kimblee. But whether or not he'd be good for you? Well that's another story. Make no mistake Roze..he's a loose canon at best, and a murderer. Don't forget that."

Kimblee

He didn't hear what the ladies were saying, but the hair on the back of his neck prickled. He didn't hear their words, but he knew that tone. It made him edgy and nervous. "You best not be makin' me look bad, Hawkeye." he said testily.

[okay, i'm going to hunt down the thread and wait for someone to post there. I'll make a small post there when I find it.]

[edit: okay, i made a small postie on the 'easier said than done' thread]
