[Myitt]

"It'll be that bad, by then?" Corliss says grimly.

<Oh?  Do I detect a hint of regret?> Mike sneers.

<No, mate, she tried to kill us,> Corliss replies tartly.  <But I still have a bloody conscience.>

[Chad32]

"I can understand a willingness to do whatever it takes to get something if you need it to stay alive. Do you think it's possible to set up a lab to produce the stuff? I don't know if it's possible, but I'm just throwing it out there so to speak."

[Terenia]

((waiting to hear if Oss will let me go to my ship or not. Will post after he does...))

[Shenmue654]

"Yeah, it'll probably be about that bad at that point. We pretty much have to take a small dosage of it every day. It's like insulin for diabetics or something, except way more untested. So far it has worked reasonably well, but who knows what else it might be doing. That, and we're not totally clear on other things that might be wrong with her. And believe me, there's bound to be something else." Keshin holds his head tiredly.

He then looks at Zoshonel and states, "Oh, sure. We know the basic composition of the stuff by now. The problem is that it's tricky to produce and you'd need one hell of a lab to do it. We can't really afford that, and considering the situation we can't afford to save money. It has to be used right away on food, fuel, and medicine."

[Myitt]

"Well, maybe I can help you get it, in installments?" Corliss offers, rubbing the back of his neck.  "Anyway, you're bound to successfully pull off a hit on someone in the next month and a half.  D'you think?  Just as long as it's not one of us, please.  That's all I ask.  Whatever I can get you will help you stay alive, regardless." 

[Chad32]

Zoshonel wondered if Temrash may be able to help Keshin and Joanne. Corliss must value them at least a little bit. However he didn't know if he wanted to tell Temrash, or if it would be possible. Temrash's connections dealt in information and small supplies mostly. Not production. He decided to let it go for now.

"Go talk to Asda and get your wound treated. No sense in letting it fester. And if you want to hang around a bit after that then I won't raise a fuss. But don't make me have to come after you again."

[Myitt]

"He's right, you know," Corliss adds.  "As long as we agree to play nice, and not, you know...kill each other.  Is it a deal, then?"

He offers Keshin his healthier right hand.

[Shenmue654]

Keshin nods almost boredly. "Don't worry. I can see that Temrash is a good friend of yours. And even though the bounty on him's so high you could almost buy a Blade ship, he's too smart to hang out alone. Besides, we don't usually play the same hand twice. Thank you for offering your help even though what we did bothers you."

Keshin wanders about idly, wincing as he notices the pain in his wound again. "And gee, thanks for reminding me about the wound."

Keshin then attempts to shake Corliss hand. "And since you're supplying us Corliss, we won't take out a hit on anyone in your little group while you're getting our stuff. The deal is still on. One less turelek to worry about eh? The whole thing's a little insane either way. I feel like I'm juggling eight kinds of death at once."

[Myitt]

"Welcome to my world," Corliss says blandly, shaking Keshin's hand.  "Come on, Asda can help you.  Reckon we both might need a drink."

<I don't need a drink!> Mike yelps.  <I need a twelve hour nap, mate.  Christ.>

[Darth Revan]

Parker looks at the photo, "Thor could do a theoretical aging on your daughter's picture if you wish it. It would give us a projection of the odds." Parker nods toward Raksha. If you have any other angles, he could even produce a 3-D image."

The hologram of Thor appears next to Morgan's hand that's holding the picture. He looks at the picture and then looks to Morgan, wordlessly awaiting the command.

[Shenmue654]

Keshin grins at Corliss' comment and wanders back into the Bar, still rubbing his shoulder uncomfortably.

<See? Tellin' people what's goin' on always helps.>

<We're starting to get a little too familiar with these people. Something about this damn Bar could probably make the Devil himself decide to skip around in a meadow.>

<Maybe it's the wine.>

<Yes, I'm sure that makes it all worse. At least that girl Terenia's holding her own.>

Keshin wanders in Asda's general direction and glances over her wounds worriedly. "Well, that isn't our fault. Corliss told me to come here to get treated for the wound, though."

[Myitt]

Corliss follows Keshin into the bar, watching them warily.  He takes his seat at the bar counter, wincing.  "Ugh.  Sorry about the bar, mate."

The bartender glances at the smoldering slice straight through the bar and into some of the wall across the room, and at the collapsed and melted far corner of the counter.

He sighs, setting down a glass, and looks away.  The bar melts and reforms itself, splinters winnowing their way back together like tiny insects.  A chair sets itself back up.  It's like a darker, weirder version of Mary Poppins.

The bartender glances back at the bar, idly running a thumb along one of the spots that had been damaged.  He smiles blandly.

"See?  Um.  No harm done, then?" Corliss offers a sheepish smile.

[Shenmue654]

Keshin glances nervously at the bartender. "You know...I'm seriously debating running the hell away from this Bar before I get eaten or something. This place is that messed up. Oh, well. How's life as a rebel treating you, Corliss? The usual canned spaghetti, cabbage, and bizarre scrapes with death?"

[HiImshort]

Fox looks on while the bar repairs and thinks hes drunk.

He gets up and moves a little and reaizes hes not drunk and he actually saw a bar repair itself.

He then looks at the bottle, blankly, and just stares at it, then he notices some people come in including Mike/Corliss. He then asks Coirliss in a very puzzled tone: "What is with this place? I've seen more fights here in a day than I've seen in a war zone." (That's exagrated of course.)

[Chad32]

Zoshonel decides to stay outside against his beter judgement. If he went inside, Keshin would just feel like Zoshonel was watching him and they'd both be uncomfortable. Instead he decided to go to his ship and send another message to Temrash.

Temrash said that he'd make some calls, and try to cover for anything Corliss and Revan couldn't get in time. If things didn't work out in the end, then they'd just make Keshin a target and get him before he got Corliss or Myitt. He would also wait and see if terenia came to the same Earth that they were at, and plan accordingly.
