X-FACTOR LEFT THE WEAPON X BASE AFTER SCAVENGING JUST ABOUT EVERY USEFUL PART FROM IT, AND HEADED WEST, LANDING IN VANCOUVER, BC, EARLIER THAT NIGHT TO SNEAK JENNIFER INTO A LARGE HOSPITAL, THEN FIND SOME HOTEL ROOMS. THE JET IS CLOAKED ON A WAREHOUSE ROOF, AND THEY'VE HEADED INTO DOWNTOWN VANCOUVER ON FOOT.
************SIM START****************
SCENE> EVERYONE'S WALKING DOWN A STORE-FRONT STREET, IMAGE-INDUCERS ON, LOOKING FOR A NICE HOTEL. THERE ARE QUITE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE CROWDING THE SIDEWALKS, BECAUSE IT'S A FRIDAY NIGHT AND EVERYONE'S OUT.
<Eve> ::watches all the people curiously::
<Dragon> ::hands in the pockets of her jacket, looks in the windows of the shops as they walk past::
<Bloodshadow> ::::walks along with the group looking ocasionally over his shoulder ::::
<Gage> ::examines his hand:: Well, at least I can look normal for while.
<Cryz> ::doesn't have an image inducer on, since he likes the look he got::
<Eve> ::quietly as usual:: Where are we going, Miss? ::glances at Dragon::
<Hazard> ::glances at various people in passing, still not in his flesh form and not particularly caring to hide his appearance::
<Dragon> We're... going to find a nice hotel, and relax
<Eve> Yes, Miss ::nods::
<Cryz> ::glances around:: I need to change...
<Dragon> Maybe do a little mingling.. there's no reason to hurry out of the city, they won't find us here anytime soon
<Dragon> ::glances towards Cryz:: {{Why?}}
<Gage> ::kicks an empty pop can:: "They" being the Feds?
<Eve> Are we outlaws?
<Dragon> Yup... ::stops in front of a window, engrossed in the display::
<Dragon> And sorta..
<Hazard> Why are we here? Aren't we supposed to be taking care of Sinister's other carbon copy replacements?
<Jrnystar> well.. sort of
<Bloodshadow> :::: looks forward after looking over his shoulder::::
<Jrnystar> ::looks down at his feel, noticing the pavement near his feet is mildly lit up::
<Jrnystar> oy!
<Jrnystar> i forgot..
<Dragon> ::keeping psionic tabs on the blond kid as they move along, makes sure he's still with the group::
<Tempest`> ::looks around the streets::
<Gage> ::scratches head:: I wonder if they even know I've joined up with you guys.
<Eve> ::stays behind the group looking a bit uncomfortable::
<Eve> You're here with us now
<Jrnystar> ::to drags:: {{the moment he goes ahead and "bends" reality around him. you'll probably loose the psi link}}
<Dragon> ACTION> A COUPLE OF KIDS DRAG THEIR PARENTS TOWARD HAZARD AND HIS DOG, DOING THE USUAL "ooh such a cute doggie!" ROUTINE
<Eve> What is our alias going to be at the hotel?
<Jrnystar> we're visiting the city
<Cryz> ::glances from Jrny to Drags, frowning slightly:: ((::through his psi-link with Drags:: You seem to think more with him, lately...)))
<Hazard> ::flips his image inducer off and looks at the people:: Go away.
<Bloodshadow> ::moves towards dragon and whispers to her ::: maybe it wouldnt be a good idea for all of use to stay at the same hotel
<Eve> Federal agents will notice a big group of people like ourselves enter a hotel and sign in easily.
<Eve> ::nods:: I agree with Bloodshadow
<Dragon> {{::to Cryz:: Are you concerned about something?}} ::glances aroudn at the others:: And I can 'blur' hotel officials notice of us so they give completely wrong descriptions of how many people were in the group...
<Gage> ::feels his pockets:: ((Aw man! I left my wallet at Sinisters!))
<Dragon> Kids> ::stare at Hazard, all their eyes going wide, and run screaming away::
<Jrnystar> before we go any further.. tell me we have money..
<Hazard> Heh.. ::glances down at the dog;; Stay. ::walks into a store, flipping his image inducer back on::
<Jrnystar> ::glares at Haz:: i don't supposed that helped at all
<Dragon> ::pulls a credit card out of her pocket:: never leave home without it...
<Dragon> ((Now where's he going?)) ::looks for Hazard in the crowd::
<Bloodshadow> ummm i wouldnt use a creidt card .... they can trase that easilly
<Gage> Does anyone remember Sinny's address or phone number?
<Jrnystar> no.. ::pulls out a bluish gold card::
<Dragon> Not this one... it's not linked to my... usual identity at all
<Bloodshadow> i might be able to get some real live cash ......
<Jrnystar> unnamed foreign bank accounts.
<Jrnystar> oh.. ::smiles at drags:: we'll go with her plan
<Bloodshadow> ::: nods :::
<Eve> ::looks around for an ATM machine:: I could get us proper money
<Dragon> But perhaps that's a good idea as well. So let's split up... half of us go with Jrny, half of us come with me, and we'll stay in separate hotels.
<Jrnystar> ::nods::
<Jrnystar> eve, gage your with me
<Jrnystar> tempest you too
<Eve> ...yes.. ::nods::
<Dragon> You can 'blur' people's picture of you, right Jrny?
<Hazard> ::walks through the store, grabbing some clothes:: ((Not wearing just this skin tight costume crap..)) ::turns off his image inducer, slipping the clothes on and flipping it back on::
<Jrnystar> ::nods::
<Jrnystar> besides.. i can alter the image inducer if needbe
<Gage> If i find "DNA Resequencer" on my VISA bill, Sinister's in some major shit ::follows Jrny::
<Hazard> ::walks back out of the store, scratching the dog on his head:: Good boy..
<Dragon> ::nods:: Cool.. ::thinks, looking around:: Alright, let's all meet back here in an hour or two, alright? ::gestures to the street sign marking the corner of 5th and Joplin::
<Dragon> ACTION> HAZARD SEES NO SIGN OF THE OTHERS ANYWHERE IN THE CROWDS OF PEOPLE
<Eve> ::follows Jrnystar::
<Jrnystar> before we left i made sure our com links are on a secured channel
<Bloodshadow> ::::shudders :: this reminds me of back home ......runing and hiding out from the government
<Jrnystar> ::heads off toward a hotel in the distance::
<Hazard> ::walks back in the direction the others went, taking off his image inducer and tossing it in the gutter::
<Dragon> ::glances to Bloodshadow:: Don't think of it as hiding out.. think of it as taking an unauthorized vacation
<Jrnystar> ::nods will do::
<Dragon> ::motions for everyone not going with Jrny to follow her towards a hotel a block or two away... a really nice huge one::
<Bloodshadow> :::: grins :::::same thing .... i've done this all before and know a few tricks of the trade
<Cryz> ::walks up to Drags with a couple bags:: Hey, that was pretty fun spending some of my "parents"' pensions...

<Dragon> We're in Vancouver, BC... ::tries to raise Haz again:: +com+ Hazard... come in, dammit
<Jrnystar> ::to the Hotel clerk trying to psionically 'blur' himself::

<Dragon> ::psi-broadcasts to the whole team, even Hazard since he's been stubborn and not showed up:: {{I hope you've all got some nice clothes..}}
<Dragon> Dog> ::runs up to Hazard and almost knocks him over::
<Gage> ::brushes some lint off of shirt::
<Hazard> Ack! ::stumbles back, and does fall over with the psi broadcast:: Ohh now I really hope they show up.
<Bloodshadow> ::::: shuts the water off and gets in the tube relaxing in the warm water ::::
<Eve> ::walks out in her new outfit:: I feel... ackward, Jrnystar
<Eve> ::keeps her armor morphed underneath her clothes::
<Jrnystar> my name is josh.. and there's something.. missing.. ::looks at her::
<Jrnystar> ::grabs a few hair clips, pays for them and does her hair really nice::
<Jrnystar> you look.. very nice ::smiles::
<Eve> ::blinks:: thank you
<Dragon> ::reaches the meeting point with Cryz, looking around to see if anyone else has arrived already::
<Jrnystar> ::heads to the meeting point with eve::
<Eve> ::touches her hair lightly before following Jrnystar::
<Jrnystar> ::pulls a mirror out of his backpack and hands it to eve::
<Hazard> ::gets back to his feet, heading for the street corner they were going to meet at:: ((Gonna hurt somebody.. repeatedly.. until all they can say it "ow ow my head")) ::mutters::
<Eve> ::glances into the mirror and touches her face as if she's never seen it before:: ... do you think this is who I might have been before..?
<Jrnystar> maybe.. sophia is in the process of recovering the data on the mainframe. if she does, i can possibly with drag's help restore some of your memories
<Jrnystar> that is.. if you want..
<Jrnystar> ::sees drags and waves::
<Dragon> ::waves back to Jrny, blinking at Eve:: Wow, you two look nice ::smiles::
<Eve> Thank you... Jrnystar chose my outfit
<Jrnystar> so do you guys ::smiles::
<Jrnystar> ::points to eve:: she cleans up nicely huh?
<Bloodshadow> :::: finishes his bath and gets dressed, then puts on the image inducer and programs it to displace a suit ::::
<Bloodshadow> :: activates it and then opens the door steping over the floor mat and the glass ::::
<Dragon> ::not having worn an image inducer, looks a little sheepish:: I feel.. punk or something ::runs a hand through her short-cropped yellowish-orange hair::
<Bloodshadow> ::: walks to the meeting point and looksaround :::
<Hazard> ::walks down Joplin, towards 5th, hands shoved in his pockets:: ((Blowing up the cop car probably didn't do a damned thing..))
<Dragon> ::sees Bloodshadow and waves::
<Jrnystar> you look fine..
<Bloodshadow> :::: nods and walks over to meet the group ::::
<Jrnystar> at least your not a glowing freak ::smiles::
<Dragon> ACTION> A COP CAR DRIVES PAST HAZARD, SIREN WAILING, TOWARDS WHERE HE BLEW STUFF UP
<Hazard> ::smirks:: Okay.. maybe a little thing. ::blows some blue hairs out of his face:: ((Keep an eye out now..))
<Eve> ::corrects Jrnystar:: Mutation... Josh
<Jrnystar> ::smiles::
<Dragon> ::looks around:: Well... I'm not really sure why i asked everyone to meet again... but since we did, how many people want to just... wander and check out the night life here?
<Jrnystar> i'm game
<Hazard> ::sees the others all dressed up and on the street corner:: So what? No longer getting a government paycheck so workin' the corners?
<Bloodshadow> ::: shruggs : couldnt hurt .....
<Eve> ::glances at Hazard:: I have money
<Jrnystar> ::turns around:: actually we've decided we're pimping you out
<Dragon> ::slightly frosty look at Hazard::
<Cryz> I'd like to... but I might just want to stay in my hotel room all night...
<Dragon> ::looks around:: I looked at some local entertainment guides... there's a fairly popular nightclub down the street aways... it sounds like it might just be the kind where nobody needs to wear an image inducer
<Hazard> Oh then sorry I didn't dress for the occasion but I had something else to do.. ::slight glare::
<Jrnystar> oh! ::remembers something:: eve.. you should give that moeny to sophia for safekeeping
<Dragon> Sophia> ::servo whirls around above their heads:: Yeah, like blowing up a cop car was a real must!
<Eve> Yes Josh ::nods::
<Bloodshadow> hmmm night Club?
<Dragon> ::groans:: You blew up a cop car?
<Hazard> ::eyes narrow at the servo, hand reaching into his jacket again::
<Jrnystar> cop car? ::looks up at the servo::
<Eve> They will be looking for us soon
<Dragon> Sophia> ::uses the servo to generate a hologram of the human form she adopted, standing there with them::
<Jrnystar> ::glares at hazard::
<Dragon> Sophia> ::glares at Hazard:: Anyways, let's go have some fun or something...
<Jrnystar> exactly WHY in gods name would you blow up a cop car?
<Jrnystar> ::nods:: Sophia.. i'm teleporting back to the jet to put eve's money in safekeeping.. i'll meet you at teh club..
<Hazard> If it works, you'll find out. ::looks in the direction of the nightclub and starts walking::
<Dragon> ::shakes her head and glances at Cryz:: Shall we go?
<Eve> ::walks towards the night club::
<Cryz> ::grins:: Dancing... pressed up tightly against you? Sounds... fun ::Grins at Drags::
<Jrnystar> ::to drags:: {{what was that all about? he seems..different..}}
<Jrnystar> ::takes the money from eve and teleports to the jet::
<Bloodshadow> :::: shakes his head and follows along :::
<Dragon> ::to Jrny:: {{I don't know... he's just been like that ever since the whole mess with him attacking the Gen X kid}}
<Cryz> ::puts an arm around Drags' waist:: Where's this nightclub?
<Dragon> Just a few blocks down the street... I'm guessing it's the neon flashing up there ::leans against Cryz's shoulder::
<Eve> Dragon? ::walks over to her:: May I have permission to speak?
<Hazard> ::moves through the crowd, already well on his way to the nightclub::
<Dragon> Of course, Eve... You don't have to ask to speak here
<Eve> ::nods:: Yes Dragon... perhaps we should keep a close watch on Hazard. He may be a spy out to hinder X-Factor.
<Jrnystar> ::puts the money in a safekeep inthe jet then teleports to a nearby alley next to the nightclub::
<Dragon> I... ::pained look:: Cryz and I have known him for a comparatively long time ((or thought we did))... but i suppose that's a valid concern
<Cryz> ::looks over to Eve:: ((I don't like how programmed she is... but she is right....))
<Eve> ::nods:: I shall watch over him
<Eve> ::walks towards the night club::
<Dragon> ::nods to Eve::
<Jrnystar> ::watches as the other walk by past the alley and follows them:: Sophia?
<Cryz> ::walks with Drags to the nightclub::
<Dragon> Sophia> ::wheels to look at Jrny, holographic form sparkling only very slightly:: Yes?
<Dragon> ACTION> INSIDE THE NIGHTCLUB, THEIR SENSES ARE ASSAULTED BY BLARING TECHNO MUSIC AND THE ALMOST TOTAL DARKNESS. THEY CAN MAKE OUT A PACKED CROWD DANCING WILDLY UNDER A BLACKLIGHT, AND A NEON RIMMED BAR OFF TO THE SIDE.
<Bloodshadow> hmmmm a bar .....
<Jrnystar> can you plant a bio-transmitter on haz and monitor his vials, and brain activity? that might give us a clue
<Eve> ::nearly emotionless look on her face as she walks around::
<Jrnystar> ::Smiles:: i can have some fun in here..
<Dragon> Sophia> I'm not sure if his vitals are monitorable... especially with the changes Sinister's made
<Jrnystar> ::frowns:: good point
<Dragon> ::looks around at the wildly.. assorted crowd:: Yup, like i thought... we aren't gonna need image inducers here
<Hazard> ::pushes through the crowd, sitting down at the bar::
<Jrnystar> ::unleashes a barrage of stars throught the bar, so they flicker to the beat of the music::
<Jrnystar> oh look.. i'm a walking light show ::grins::
<Dragon> Rather heavily built "woman"> ::turns to see Hazard sitting beside 'her' and smiles widely:: Hi...
<Eve> ::sits at the bar and keeps an eye on Hazard::
<Dragon> Nice effect, Jrny ::grins::
<Dragon> ::drags Cryz off toward the blacklight, having an incurable fascination with the things::
<Jrnystar> thanks i try ::walks up to eve and hands her an id saying she's 21::
<Cryz> ::grins at her:: This shirt should be active to that... like the purple thingies... ::begins to "dance"::
<Eve> Thank you Josh
<Eve> ::looks at the card for a bit and puts it away::
<Hazard> ...::sideways glance at the "woman":: And I thought I'd already seen some freaks.. ::gets up and moves further down the bar::
<Jrnystar> your welcome.. care to dance?
<Dragon> ::smirks and steers Cryz off into a corner where nobody's gonna notice whether they're dancing or not::
<Eve> ::blinks:: I don't know how to dance... and... I should keep an eye on Hazard
<Cryz> ::grins widely at her and presses Drags against the wall in the corner::
<Jrnystar> i'll teach you some day.. ::heads off to the dance floor::
<Hazard> ::leans back against the bar, watching the dancing crowd::
<Dragon> Sophia> ::looks around, perking up:: Ooh, this looks like fun... ::runs off toward the dance floor::
<Bloodshadow> :::: walks over to the bar and orders a beer and a shot of scotch ::::
<Dragon> ACTION> A COUPLE OF VAMPIRE-ESQUE IDENTICAL BLONDE GIRLS WALK UP TO BLOODSHADOW, SITTING ON EITHER SIDE OF HIM AT THE BAR
<Jrnystar> ::dances near sophia and smiles:: I have something for you later
<Hazard> ::pushes himself away from the bar and heads into the crowd::
<Bloodshadow> :::: looks at the ladys and nods : ladys .... hows it going to night?
<Eve> ::follows Hazard::
<Hazard> ::goes in a circle through the crowd, heading back to the bar, resuming his position to watch the crowd::
<Jrnystar> ::watches hazard's actions:: {{Eve.. your best to give up for now.. he knows your watching him..}}
<Eve> ::shadows Hazard but keeping far enough behind not to be caught::
<Bloodshadow> ::: drinks his shot and then takes a sip of beer ::::
<Dragon> Blond kid that keeps getting forgotten about> ::glances around the inside of the nightclub, eyes adjusting to the darkness easily, and slips into the crowd::
<Jrnystar> ::lets loose some more stars on the dance floor::
<Hazard> ::tilts his head back, looking at the ceiling:: ((Want to go back to the hospital where we left jennifer.. someone'll be coming for her.. but can't exactly leave here without beign noticed.))
<Jrnystar> ::looks at the kid and smiles:: having fun?
<Dragon> Kid> ::blinks and looks sharply at Jrny before recognizing him and relaxing:: Many people... is loud
<Jrnystar> what's your name?
<Bloodshadow> :::: looks at both the girl vamps again and takes another sip of his beer ::
<Dragon> Kid> ::thinks for a moment:: I... am not sure
<Dragon> ACTION> THE TWIN GIRL VAMPS STRIKE UP A CONVO WITH BLOODSHADOW
<Jrnystar> well.. we have to call you something..
<Hazard> ::waves the bartender off, not wanting a drink::
<Eve> ::looks around::
<Dragon> Kid> I should remember my name ::frowns in concentration::
<Hazard> ::stands up again, looking around::
<Bloodshadow> ::: buys the girls both a drink :::::aye, yes i am from ireland
<Jrnystar> how about.. ::thinks for a moment:: joe..? no.. to plain.. bob.. nah.. to simple.. Victor?
<Dragon> Kid> ::brightens:: That will do
<Hazard> ::moves forth into the crowd again, slowly::
<Jrnystar> ::smiles and hands the kid some money:: why don't you get something to drink?
<Dragon> Kid> ::confused look:: I am not thirsty, thank you
<Jrnystar> alright ::smiles::
<Bloodshadow> so you lasses come here reguerly?
<Eve> ::walks over to Jrnystar and the child::
<Dragon> DrunkGuy> ::stumbles past Eve, almost running into her::
<Jrnystar> Victor, this is Eve. Eve, Victor
<Hazard> ::moves out the other side of the crowd, heading for the exit::
<Eve> ::kneels down by the kid a bit:: Hello, Victor
<Jrnystar> ::glances up past eve at Haz:: ::to drags:: {{houston, the crazed psycho hazard is leaving the looney bin}}
<Dragon> Victor> ::extends a bony, clawed hand carefully::
<Hazard> ::glances behind him at the crowd before walking out of the nightclub::
<Dragon> ::annoyed look at the interruption:: {{Hazard. Where are you going?}}
<Jrnystar> ::glances back at drags in the corner and smacks himself:: {{ack.. sorry.. didn't mean to interupt your pda session}}
<Eve> ::shakes Victor's hand gently::
<Hazard> ::grinds his teeth, walking out into the crowded sidewalk and not responding::
<Dragon> Dog> ::bumps into Hazard's legs, looking up at him curiously::
<Bloodshadow> ::::continues talking with both the girls telling them half truths about his life and so on :::::
<Jrnystar> ::watches as a girl, who is obviosuly a mutant, moves to the beat of the music, her body twisting snakelike and her joints moving in ways they're not supposed to naturally::
<Hazard> ::scratches the dog on the head and starts walking down the street:: Let's go boy.
<Dragon> Drunk Guy> ::nearly runs into Jrnystar on his next pass through the crowd:: Heyyy that girl's somethin' ain't she? ::sloshed giggle::
<Jrnystar> ::nods:: uh.. yeah she is
<Eve> ::glances at Jrnystar:: Perhaps you should say hello to her

<Eve> ::goes over to a booth and sits down::
<Jrnystar> ::looks at eve:: not really my type
<Bloodshadow> :::: leans over and whispers somthing into one of the girls ears and then to the other :::::
