Noriko's Mama Complex Can Be Deadly

[Zephyrus]

<@Kotono> The next day starts drizzy and cloudy. A rain system has moved in, everyone hurrying into school. Once everyone gets there, you can notice much of the class is abuzz with chatter and gossip, if you care to investigate.
06* Aisutori smiles, easily gossiping in, "What's the buzz, Alice?" She wondered to one of her friends near her in the classroom.
06* Noriko will listen, of course. It's important to listen to these pointless conversations to fit in better, right?
06* Jin_ isn't really interested. He's more into chatting up the cute girl sitting in front of him by the windows.
<@Kotono> Noriko can overhear Alice as she replies, "Oh, we went and saw this amazing show last night!" she burbles, "It was absolutely stunning and took our minds off that terrible tsunami!" Meanwhile the pretty girl, Sachiko, gives Jin a look, "Hm?"
<Aisutori> "What show?  I'm so sad I missed it.  It's sucked having so much work going on lately~," She sympathetically yammered with her friend.
06* Noriko is not concerned about popular entertainment and decides to pay more attention to analyzing the curious courtship rituals of Jins.
06* Jin_ gives Sachiko a charming grin. "So Sachiko-chan! I've been wondering if you've got anything going on this weekend?
<@Kotono> OOC: Roll 2d6 for your pickup line to see if you strike gold, say.
01<Jin_> roll 2d6 Nice shoes wanna DANCE?
06* +Hatbot --> "Jin_ rolls 2d6 Nice shoes wanna DANCE? and gets 9." [2d6=3, 6]
<@Kotono> "Oh my GOD!" Alice squeals, "You didn't go, Aisu?! It was amazing entertainment and if you're going to be an idol you need to go! Kawazam was dreamy and that video reel he showed! It made everything better, and then the tricks with electricity!" As she goes on Sachiko gives Jin an even look, before a sligh smile, "I do, I'm going to visit my grandmother."
<Aisutori> "When's his next show?" Aisutori pouted.  She might be the best singer in the school, but that didn't necessarily mean anything as far as getting onto even the city stage.  "You've got tickets, right?"  She wondered a bit excitedly.
06* Jin_ doesn't miss a beat. "Is she ill? Or maybe you're being a dutiful granddaughter? Either way, I'd very much like to accompany you and meet the woman who produced such a cute granddaughter." Jin smiles once more. "Would you do me the honor of allowing me to accompany you? I'll even treat you two ladies to dinner."
<@Kotono> "They sell them at the box office! I think it's the day after tomorrow or Thursday, she answers quickly, "They're not that expensive either! You just have to go! Take your friends, too! They'll love it!"
<@Kotono> OOC: Try another 2d6 for persistance, Zeph.
<Aisutori> "You're going again, right?" She wondered.
<@Kotono> "I might," she nods quickly, "It was just to die for!"
01<Jin_> OOC: I think I should get a modifier for being charming and not demanding that she drop her grandmother for me. What do you day?
<@Kotono> OOC: Just roll the modifier, I'll adjust the success number behind the scenes. The way of women are eve rmysterious.
01<Jin_> roll 2d6 I hate not having a woman manual
06* +Hatbot --> "Jin_ rolls 2d6 I hate not having a woman manual and gets 6." [2d6=2, 4]
<Aisutori> "Let's go together with the band," She giggled. "Maybe we can pick up some ideas for our routine."
<@Kotono> "It's a deal!" Meanwhie Sachiko gives Jin another look, a little longer. She clears her throat, "It's a family affair," she says gently, "But maybe next weekend? Besides, my grandmother can't leave her home, she's very fragile. Company doesn't agree with her anymore. SAy..." She considers a moment, before smiling, "Maybe we can go shopping?"
06* Noriko makes a mental note for her social interaction subroutines: asking to see dying relatives = awkward.
01<Jin_> "My apologies if I seemed nosy. I didn't intend to pry." Jin nods enthusiastically at Sachiko's suggestion, feeling somewhat guilty, but not entirely sure why. "Sounds like a plan to me. I never can seem to make my money stay in my wallet. I'd be more than glad to go with you!"
06* Aisutori smiles. "I'll pick up tickets for all of us later today then~.  You can pay me back at the show."
<Aisutori> "Tell the others," She grinned.
<@Kotono> "I will!" Alice agrees.
<@Kotono> Sachiko gives a pleasant smile, "It's a date then," she says, as she turns her attention to the front. The teacher is just entering now, as...OOC: Goign to do anything remarkable during the school day?
<Aisutori> OOC: Study hard!
<Noriko> OOC: excel at math!
01<Jin_> OOC: Uh, I dunno. Look cool and sexy?
<@Kotono> School passes without incident. The buzz surrounds two issues - the tsunami and Kawazam. But soon enough the school day is over! OOC: Noriko in here. Jin in #evildunes. AIsutori, do you have anything you want to do, or d you want to tag along with someone or anything else?
<Aisutori> OOC: I'm not sure what I'm following them to do? or w...oh.  I want to go get tickets really.  I see, Noriko is researching, Jin is going to talk with his dad.  Aisutori wants to go learn about what makes Kawazam cool and get tickets to his show.
<Aisutori> OOC: *would rather drag someone along to talk with during that though than solo.  But can solo if desired :)
<Noriko> OOC: I can go too? I basically just have to line, roll for results, get results here, after all.
<@Kotono> OOC: Okay then. LIne and roll
<@Kotono> .
<Noriko> Noriko runs her usual scan for unusual news after leaving school for the day. Any strange new public figures arising in recent might be worth attention, but this time she'll look for anyone who had any noteworthy involvement in the tsunami area, or anything to say about it. Which includes one particularly tactless actor--although Noriko has found inane remarks common to that subspecies, it's
<Noriko> still worth looking into.
<Noriko> roll 2d6 vs 7 mind
06* +Hatbot --> "Noriko rolls 2d6 vs 7 mind and gets 9." [2d6=3, 6]
<@Kotono> So at least it's not 2ch. What's this strange English site? 4chan? /a/? /b/? Oh, /b/ looks good...what is this...logic circuits do not comprehend....must reply...what's going on, why are there images of....banned?! What?! How?! WHY!?!?! At least after that Noriko is able to investigate her target. There's some more buzz about the actor, but most tsunami news is casual enough. She doesn't dig up
<@Kotono> anything interesting.
<Aisutori> "Noriko-chan?" Aisutori had been hanging out a bit after class, walking over to the girl sitting on one of the quieter benches, her eyes seeming to flash repeatedly.  "Noriko-chan, are you busy?"
<Noriko> "I am in a state comparable to eagerness to be parted from my computer. No, I am not busy."
<Aisutori> "...You have the oddest ways of saying things," Aisutori pouted, pulling her friend up.  "Come on, it's been stressful lately, we should take a day and relax.  I'm gonna get us all tickets for a show."
06* Noriko rises, follows at Ai's side. "What manner of show is this?"
<Aisutori> "I'm...not actually sure," Aisutori blinked, realizing she'd not pumped her friend for details.  Oh well, they'd find out when they got to the local ticket box.  "Alice was really excited about him though and said it was a really amazing show.  He's doing another one on Thursday and I want to go see it with all of us.  Something to take our minds off nearly getting chopped up."
<Noriko> "Ah. So it will be a surprise? If you prefer to know more, I can run a search for all shows in the area on Thursday, determine which is most popular amongst teenagers, and acquire audio samples of the most likely performer. If you wish to know what to expect in advance."
<Aisutori> "No, a surprise is good too.  But can you look up where his tickets are selling?  I was going to go ask at the nearby aselles stadium, figuring it'd be held there like most big shows."
<Noriko> "Certainly. What is his name?"
<Aisutori> "Kawazam," She returned.
06* Noriko nods. "I will perform a search for the most efficient method of purchasing tickets."
<@Kotono> You find that there's a nice website for this Kawazam. He's a tall man with dark hair, wearing a dark suit and with an easy, dark smile that captures the eye. Tickets can be purchased at the box office or online for a very reasonable price
<@Kotono> .
06* Noriko assumes they should buy early to get good seats and suggests such to Ai! Not that she goes to concerts or anything, that's just what she heard somewhere.
<Aisutori> "Well of course, that's why I'm heading to the box office today," A typical choice from her friend who didn't even have a computer at home.

<@Kotono> ----
<@Kotono> Jin's grandfather is found meditating in the dojo. HIs eyes are shut, incense blowing about the room. He awaits, seemingly in reverie?
* Jin_ carefully slips off his shoes and enters the dojo, sitting indian style next to his grandfather. The whip sits next to him, seemingly innocent. "Hey gramps? Got a moment?"
<@Kotono> "I do, for I meditate on grim news," Jin's grandfather opens his eyes, "The assassins have not been idle."
* Jin_ sits up straight. "Crimson Wind? Is Dad all right? What about big bro and Kyoko?"
<@Kotono> "They're fine. However, many knowledgeable friends have been attacked and lost," Shakinghis head, "Jin. The Crimson Wind moves fast and with great aggression. Now that I've stated the painfully obvious...Know well your siblings are protected and capable of defending themselves if they must.
* Jin_ sets his mouth into a grim line. "Maybe it's time we stop staying on the defensive. The only way to kill a nest of vipers is to find it and burn it out. I don't like to hear about the family or our friends dying just because I got mixed up into this Leviathan thing."
<@Kotono> "Agreement. There is a time to flow with the breeze, and other times to cut the breeze around your sword. The Crimson Wind has to be stopped. If they're serious about this, they're going to attack again. When they do, take them alive for information."
<Jin_> "I'll do it or die trying." Jin nods decisively. "No one fucks with the Bunkou clan and gets away scott free." He winces at his choice of words. "Apologies for the strong language, grandfather."
<@Kotono> "Don't die trying," Grandfather says gruffly, "Be careful, Jin."
<Jin_> "Hey, it's me." Jin shrugs, grinning slightly. "Before I go out on patrol tonight, I wanted to ask you..."
* Jin_ picks up the whip and holds it out to his grandfather.
<Jin_> "I got this off of an apparent assassin during our trip to visit the site of the tsunami. From what I understand, it can absorb the essence of its defeated enemies and utilize it. I'm not really familiar with magical weapons, but I can't tell if this is magic or pure technology. Do you know of any weapon that could do such a thing?"
<@Kotono> At this Jin's Grandfather whistles, "I heard a legend once of a sword that was a soulstealer. It could take what it defeated and snatch up it's essence. But this also isn't a sword."
<Jin_> "Well, you see...." Jin scratches the back of his head. "I kinda killed a giant squid with it and then told the sword to 'Instill'. I was just curious as to what it would do!"
* Jin_ looks at the whip mournfully. "And now I don't have a cool sword anymore."
<@Kotono> "Jin, Jin, Jin," Grandfather shakes his head, as he thwaps Jin upside the head, "Never, ever, ever try things with an artifact like that blindly! You know not what secrets or dangers lie within it!" He takes the whip curiously, "It appears to be a strange, unorthodox weapon."
<Jin_> "It was a pretty dumbass thing to do." Jin agrees. "It might turn out to be a blessing in disguise though. If I come across another Crimson assassin, I can use it to subdue him or her much easier."
* Jin_ frowns. "My biggest problem is learning how to use it. Doc Sasaki is *supposed* to be building an interface for me, but I dunno...you reckon one of our family friends would know something about it? Or maybe our records would mention it?"
<@Kotono> "I will check," Grandfather says, rising. "Be careful out there, Jin."
<Jin_> "Will do, gramps. Also, think you can talk dad into getting me a cell phone? As nasty as things are getting, I want a way to contact you guys." Jin rises as well, recoiling the whip
Session Time: Sun Mar 13 00:00:00 2011
<@Kotono> Grandfather nods to this.
-------

<@Kotono> You begint o patrol for a few hours. The city is quiet for the most part, no immediate problems. After about an hour you're passing by a row of shops. An ice cream shop, a clothing boutique, an electronics store, a pet store, that manner of thing. One can note Noriko's mother coming out of the electronics shop, a bag in hand.
06* Jin_ raises his eyebrow. "Maybe your mom is buying you a few upgrades, Noriko?"
<Noriko> "It is unlikely that any software or hardware superior to my current operating systems could be purchased at a retail store. We may inquire if you wish?"
03* Merc is now known as Merc-zzz
06* Aisutori waves, "Hello Matsumoto-san."
06* Aisutori heads over there a bit to say hi to Noriko's mother as they patrol.
03* Laggy (Laggy@c-76-102-52-176.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has joined #dunes
06* Jin_ shrugs. "Looks like the choice has been made for me." Jin hefts his bokken over his shoulder nonchalantly and waits to see if Noriko wishes to follow Aisutori.
06* Noriko will, of course. She could not hardly not say hello, after all.
06* Jin_ follows, at Noriko's side.
<@Kotono> "Ah," A ready, pleasant smile comes, "Hello there!" She looks to Noriko in particular, "Noriko, good. I have something I want to give you, and this is just perfect for it."
06* Noriko bows respectfully. "Yes, mother?"
<@Kotono> "It's some chip modifications I've made," she says, "To help you with your, ahem, problems." Her smile grows a little bit, "That sounds good, hm?"
06* Jin_ tilts his head to the side. "Problems? I wasn't aware there was something wrong with Noriko."
<Noriko> "I was not aware that I was experiencing performance difficulties. But I am sure that if you say it will be an improvement it will prove to be such."
06* Aisutori blinks and glances over at Noriko.  Well, her mother would know her best.
<@Kotono> Clearing her throat, "I mean your aggressive problems," she explains, "With fighting."
06* Jin_ scratches his cheek in puzzlement. "Umm...do you think you could explain to me what's wrong with Noriko fighting with us to keep the city safe? M'am?" He tacks on belatedly.
06* Noriko tilts her head in an apparent mimicry of human curiosity. "There has been considerable need for aggressive resolution of foreign belligerents as of late. Has my efficieny in these encounters not been satisfactory? In what way?"
<@Kotono> Tomoko sighs then, "I mean to upgrade you so your assassin problems are easier to deal with!"
<Noriko> "Ah." Noriko nods. "Very well then."
01<Jin_> "Oh." Jin looks slightly embarrassed. "That'll teach me to leap to conclusions. Sorry m'am."
<Aisutori> "Combat Upgrades?  I wish it was that easy sometimes," Aisutori rubbed her arms.  She'd missed her sunday karate class, and knew she'd regret it next week.
<@Kotono> "Let's just head home now." Noriko's mother smiles, "Right Noriko?"
<Noriko> "Of course." Noriko dutifully walks by her mother's side.
01<Jin_> "Er, how long will this take? Could we come along? Or do we count you out for tonight, Noriko?"
06* Noriko looks to her mother for an answer here.
<@Kotono> "Oh, it's fine." Tomoko says cheerfully, "You can all come."
06* Jin_ shrugs and glances at Aisutori. "Guess we're taking a short break from patrol."
<Aisutori> "We should.  It wouldn't be good for any of us to be patrolling alone right now," AIsutori walked with jin behind the two.  "If we were attacked, we might be in dangerous without Noriko."
<@Kotono> Thus you head back to Noriko's house. Casually it looks as it always does, "Go ahead and sit down in the living room," she calls, "I'll get the two of you tea and then take Noriko back."
06* Jin_ shrugs, sitting down on an easy chair and laying his bokken across his knees. "Thanks, Doc. No need to trouble yourself for tea. I'm fine. Dunno about Ai-chan here."
06* Aisutori sits down, not wanting to be rude to Noriko's mother  "Are you feeling better, Jin?" She wondered as they waited.  "I would like some, Matsumoto-san."
06* Jin_ stretches slightly. "Meh, I'm fine. Still a little sore, but ok."
06* Noriko naturally does not require tea and would not expect to be served such.
<@Kotono> Tomoko is in the kitchen a few moments, coming back with warm tea. She puts a glass in front of Jin and Aisutori, "Please, drink up!"
06* Aisutori glances over a bit at the wall, waiting for Matsumoto to return with tea,  "Thank you.  Did you have an accident?" She asked slightly, glancing at the wall.  "I have a friend who's good at fixing up things if you need help."
06* Noriko follows Ai's gaze, not sure what she refers to here.
<@Kotono> "Oh, I just banged the wall this morning by accident," She says. There's a new hole in the wall - it's not huge, but it looks like somethingh it it fairly hard. Her voice is still cheery, "Anwyay, please enjoy your tea."
06* Noriko gets up, examines the hole. "Mother, were you testing artillery again?"
06* Jin_ nods his head. "Will do, Doc. I was surprised to see you out and about today. And to see you so...cheerful. Your daughter explained that you're not much of a people person."
<Aisutori> "Artillery?  Isn't that better done on a range?" Aisutori took it rather in stride...except for the whole doing it inside her house bit.
<@Kotono> It's quite the odd shaped hole...hm? There's a bit of hair caught on the edge of the hole. It looks like Mother's hair, casually. "Oh well, reports are grossly exaggerated,: she smiles happily. "Now Noriko, we need to go do those changes."
06* Aisutori hasn't touched her tea yet.  Not really because of any suspicion on her part...simply because it was still warm.
01<Jin_> "Noriko never exaggerates." Jin replies calmly. He lifts up his cup of tea and smells it slightly. He wasn't a pro or anything at detecting poisons or drugs...but he had a hunch.
06* Noriko examines the hair, walks to her mother, compares to that on Tomoko's head. "Mother, did you put your head through the wall somehow? Have you seen a doctor? I am aware that you dislike being treated by physicians, but repairs are sometimes necessary for all of us."
06* Aisutori blinks, getting up as well.  She was used to people sometimes being stubborn, and she might be able to help with her new magic.
02* Laggy (Laggy@c-76-102-52-176.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) Quit (Connection reset by peer)
<@Kotono> The tea smells like tea, with an undercurrent of burnt almonds. "Aaaah," Tomoko fumbles just amoment, "Well, you see..." she fumbles a few moments, "I had a friend over and things got a little hectic and I slipped. I'm fine, no injuries."
<Noriko> "Are you certain? The level of force required to penetrate the wall would surely put great strain on the human crainium as well. Who was it that visited? It is highly unusual for us to have visitors."
06* Jin_ sets his tea down. "Noriko, that woman is not your mother. She's slipped cyanide in our tea and attempted to murder Ai-chan and I. Subdue her, immediately!"
06* Aisutori blinks, glancing between Noriko and Matsumoto.  Sure, she didn't come over to Noriko-chan's house that often, but she'd NEVER seen Matsumoto-san have guests.  "What, cyanide?!"
<@Kotono> Tomoko seems to consider a moemnt, "He-" Emphasis on that word, "Is a special friend. Let's not talk about this any more, I'm fine!" Her blush grows massively, "Please-!" Her gaze travesls right to Jin, shocked for a split second!
01<Jin_> "This tea smells of burt almonds. No tea I know is made from almonds specifically. Cyanide has a distinct scent of burnt almonds if you know what to look for." Jin responds. "You're not acting like yourself, m'am. Give me one good reason why we shouldn't knock you out."
<Noriko> "Jin!" Noirko starts, more force in her voice than usual. She seems about to say something, looks between the two of them and examines Tomoko critically.
01<Jin_> "Noriko, you can hit me if I'm wrong. With the problems we're having with assassins, I'd rather be safe than sorry." Jin rises, bokken dangling from his hands.
<@Kotono> AFter a moment, "I'm not poisoning you!" HEr hands go to her cheeks, "I had a boyfriend over and I had some special almond tea for him! It's foreign tea!" Meanwhile you can note Mother looks just a little thinner than usual, and a little more alert in general...
<Aisutori> "Tomoko-chan, could you describe what Noriko-chan's...version number is?" Aisutori asked completely bluffing with her pathetic knowledge of machines.
<Aisutori> OOC: Matsumoto-san  *accidentally switched to familiar without meaning to*
03* Laggy (Laggy@c-76-102-52-176.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has joined #dunes
<Noriko> "I will remember this offer, Jin," Noriko says with a nod. Another look at Tomoko. "Mother, you have not had a romantic partner within my memory. How did this situation change?"
01<Jin_> "You're lying." Jin says calmly. "Noriko's mother does not like other people. At all."
14* Laggy (Laggy@c-76-102-52-176.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has left #dunes
<@Kotono> "Well, you see..." She fumbles, before bowing her head, "Oh hell, I was never good at this part." She shakes her head back and forth, raising it back up with a cheerful slasher's smile! "How about we just skip to the part where I kill all of you?"
06* Jin_ reacts instantly, uncoiling his whip and sending it out to ensnare the impostor!
<@Kotono> OOC: Roll init, she's not good at this deceiving thing. Worse luck for her, that.
<Noriko> "If you have harmed my mother than I will reduce you to your component molecules!" Noriko promises.
<Aisutori> "I would rather skip to the part where you give back Matsumoto-san."
<Aisutori> roll 2d6+7

03* Kotono changes topic to 'Noriko>Tomoko>Jin>Aisutori'
01<Jin_> "Take her alive!" Jin shouts. "We need her for information! Break some bones if you have to, but don't kill her!"
<Noriko> Noriko's fist crackles with electricity as she leaps forward with an uncharactistic yell!
<Noriko> roll 2d6 vs 8
06* +Hatbot --> "Noriko rolls 2d6 vs 8 and gets 9." [2d6=5, 4]
<@Kotono> Noriko pounces on with robotic determination, but with a deft parry Tomoko dodges! AS she does she transforms...her body is taller, seven and a half feet tall! She wears a lab coat that twists into a karate gi, long claws on both of her hands! "Gonna have to do this the hard way, but I love doing it the hard way!" she calls, a flurry of slashes sent atNoriko!
<@Kotono> roll 2d6 vs 10

<@Kotono> Ow! Claws slice in as she hacks at Noriko's body! Tomoko makes two good cuts, going for a third...and unbalancing, falling back! She lands on her ass, springing up into a defensive parry seconds later! OOC: Jin, go.
06* Jin_ uncoils his whip and sends it lashing out, hoping to ensnare the impostor! OOC: Using Tentacle Bind right off the bat.
01<Jin_> roll 2d6 vs 7 Come on, baby
06* +Hatbot --> "Jin_ rolls 2d6 vs 7 Come on, baby and gets 5." [2d6=3, 2]
<@Kotono> OOC: 20 damage, sorry, Noriko. Forgot to say.
<@Kotono> roll 2d6 vs 5 yes I know her numbers are screwed up, she has a trait effecting them.
06* +Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6 vs 5 yes I know her numbers are screwed up, she has a trait effecting them. and gets 4." [2d6=3, 1]
<@Kotono> Yet despite being caugh off guard, she is able to dodge the tentacle by doing stumbling splits, klutzing into a perfect defense as the lash misses! OOC: Aisutori.
<Aisutori> "What did you do with Matsumoto-san?" Aisutori leaped back to get out of the melee, giving more room for Noriko and Jin to attack the quick moving assassin, lowering to a crouch as she again sent ice to gather against the woman's legs, seeking to freeze them solid.
<Aisutori> roll 2d6 vs 7
06* +Hatbot --> "Aisutori rolls 2d6 vs 7 and gets 7." [2d6=4, 3]

06* +Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6 vs 5 and gets 8." [2d6=6, 2]
<@Kotono> Ice rises up with deft speed, solidifying around the assassin's legs! She struggles in vain as her feet are iced down, held in place! OOC: Noriko.
<Aisutori> OOC: 21 damage...and/or hopefully leg freezings!
06* Noriko grabs at one arm, to hold it in place and then chop her free hand onto the bicep for a savage break!
<Noriko> roll 2d6 vs 8
06* +Hatbot --> "Noriko rolls 2d6 vs 8 and gets 5." [2d6=3, 2]
<@Kotono> roll 2d6+2 vs 3, +2 due to begin basically frozen in place.
06* +Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6+2 vs 3, +2 due to begin basically frozen in place. and gets 6." [2d6=2, 2]
<@Kotono> OOC: Damage?
<Noriko> OOC: 16
<@Kotono> KerSNAP! The bicep and bone beneath give way to robot JUSTICE, the assasins screaming! She wobbles wildly, her free hand's claw going up to plunge into Noriko's back!
<@Kotono> roll 2d6 vs 10
06* +Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6 vs 10 and gets 6." [2d6=2, 4]

06* +Hatbot --> "Noriko rolls 2d6 vs 5 and gets 8." [2d6=4, 4]
<@Kotono> Ack! It plunges right on in, scraping metal and body painfully so! "HAh, I ain't giving up that easily!" she says even as she winces in pain! OOC: 20 damage!
<@Kotono> OOC: Jin, go.
01<Jin_> "You can talk even *without* your limbs, you know. My clan has gotten pretty good at that sort of thing." With a wordless cry, Jin leaps forward, intend on smacking her upside the head into unconsciousness!
01<Jin_> roll 2d6 vs 7 Come on, sugar!
06* +Hatbot --> "Jin_ rolls 2d6 vs 7 Come on, sugar! and gets 5." [2d6=2, 3]

<@Kotono> OOC: DAmage?
01<Jin_> OOC: 14. Nonlethal, since you said we needed to declare
<@Kotono> WHAM! The wooden sword blow leaves the assassin wobbling even more, like a punchdrunk fighter as she struggles against her icy bonds! OOC: Aisutori.
<Aisutori> "Stop it," Aisutori tried to be more careful this time as she focused and sent a burst of ice to gather against the assassin's arm, wrapping against it like a mancle and pinning it, trying not to tear it off.
<Aisutori> roll 2d6 vs 7 (going for nonlethal
