"Have you ever been under the influence of your weapon? Do you know the misery I feel not knowing what the hell I did under it's influence!? There was no me when I was struck with it! Only what your deranged cousin wanted! A play thing! I can't believe you when you say you're creating the world a better place, not when you're going about it like this! If you want to have a quiet world, all the best to you. Expect it to be one hell of a noise before it happens though. Especially from me." Karie surprised herself by what she was saying. She wasn't usually this outspoken. However, if there was a time to be loud, it would be now.

"By creating a hive mind? I do hope you realize what you're doing? No crime. No Hate. No stigma. No war. No sorrow. No happiness. No joy. No love. You are stripping people of what makes them who they are. Emotion. Remove that from them and who are they? Empty shells. I should know. I've been on the receiving end of that blade. If I die here today, I'd rest knowing that I'd never be under the influence of the Harvester and your twisted ideas!" Karie had made her way to the front of the heroes, her fists shaking from fear and adrenaline. She felt like she could move a mountain. "I can't let you do this."

Alright, he's said his speech, let's beat 'em up guys!

Something the people of Brendenton could have learned...

Karie's in a worse. Just give it time.

Karie didn't anticipate the silence. It was unnerving. Despite being nervous, Karie shrugged, and continued to keep her cool. "Hmm? No response? Cat got your tongue? No matter. I can live with that. Than I suppose the last question I have is... well... what did you do with your cousin's body?"

Karie's eyes turned to the Harvester. She cringed. "I'm curious as to how the Harvester works. It certainly is a curious weapon. What does it run on, those little lights, etc., etc."

Noted and fixed.

Karie's palm twirled round Sexy's hilt. Why was the Stealer greeting her? She was this close to killing his nephew before he did it for her. "I reinstate Arthur's question. You seem like the last sort of person to be associating with the Wolfgang, even in a brawl." Keep this guy thinking with his Johnson Rod, Karie, just keep it up...

Karie was shaking, but tried not to show it. Her voice at a twinge of fear in it. She was surprised she was speaking at all. "La petite mort, the little death. You either a speak French, or you're from Chairis, oui?"

"Well,would someone like to do the honours and kick the door in?"

Karie begins to shake herself loose, jog on the spot, and tilt her head back and forth. Karie, you can do this. There's no reason to be scared. He's just a big, scary, ugly, sense stealing psycho who wants to use me as a footstool. Everything's going to be all right... Karie presses her ear against the door, trying to listen to see if anyone's inside.

"Well, here goes nothing..." Karie presses three, one, five, and then nine. OOC: Of course, we can't make button pushing too easy, can we?

Or do what Danny does, through a boulder at 'em!

OOC: You'd be trying to get Irene out of combat, yes. What happens when you do, you'll have to find out, wouldn't you? Bricksandpants, when will Alexandre be taking the smelling salts?

"I guess the feelings are mutual. We should get going once everyone's ready. We could poison them, or one of us could put them out with a weapon."Karie downs a mead.

"Apart from what?" If you're stressed out I understand, Arthur. I am too, but still, if somethings on your mind it's best to come out with it." Karie was perhaps being somewhat of a hypocrite, but she at least was taking Romulus's advice to some degree.

That's the idea!

Just Doom them all, and have it be Perma-KO.

Karie couldn't tell if Arthur was upset or not. Was it worth talking to him? Would he inquire about the Apprentice? Should she just try and avoid him for the remainder of the job? "Arthur, are you okay?"

Not anymore! If you wish to grab Irene, you may do so at the cost of a heroes turn. It will not count as targeting her, and she will be able to land a free hit.

Karie shows the note to the rest of the party, highlighting the important part. If you wish to take some drugs from the safes, sign your names here. Those who are caught pilfering without their name and/or taking more then one dip from the supply in a month will lose their pickpocketing profits... among other things. -Lupus -Alfred -Wolfmire -Wulfric -Rose -Lythor -Gregor -Samantha NOTE: Not for me. Damn mutt bit me, so I'm spiking his food as a bit of punishment. Should teach the stupid dog. "The black one bit this individual who added the notice on the sheet. The tense used, such as "stupid mutt", and "stupid dog" suggest the owner didn't enjoy the dogs company. My money's on Arrow being the black dog, but I don't want to be the one to remedy him in case I'm wrong."

"Sorry sir, but... it's complicated. Its either these two, or the streets." "Irene, we didn't ask for your commentary! Help us fight these detectives off!" "If you lot really are detectives!" "... Yes sis."
