Carth's magical adventure, ROUND TWO, MOTHERFUCKERS!

[Anastasia]

"Sir," he smiles, "you annoyed not only a humble old man, but his boss!" He takes a step forward, kneeling down gingerly to you.

'My boss, replacement surgery or no, was QUITE emphatic that I find you.' To accent his mental words, he places a chilly finger on your chin. 'I'm sure he'll appreciate your curse, as well.'

[Carthrat]

"He'll have to kill me first," replies Carthrat, testily.

[Anastasia]

Not replying with words, his eyes widen and you feel a momentary pressure subconciously, like a mental probe. "Ah! I see that your other will is strong and with you!"

He stands, knees creaking as he does so, his casual slacks wrinkling. 'Mr. Tanewaki, even with your other will, you cannot resist my ways forever. You shall be....just another child.'

[Carthrat]

"Do your worst," replies Carthrat, biting back a snarl. "But these crimes will come back to haunt you some day.

Sooner, rather than later."

[Anastasia]

"Justice, sir? Simple and mighty justice from a single Paladin?" he chuckles darkly."Nonsense! Only the justice of steel and power reign, and they have convicted you, sir."

Raising his voice, "Guards, please enter now!"

'Mr. Tanewaki, before any grandiose notions of escaping play through your mind, let me remind you that your friend was captured as well. I can just as easily do unto her as I would do unto you.' his voice grates in your mind as the two who carried you enter again.

[Carthrat]

"And when I rip your heart out, we'll see who won," replies Carthrat, injecting herself with a Mind-Blanking hypo and preparing herself to take out the guards..

[Anastasia]

With a calm smile, he just laughs. "Take him to the Dark Room, and keep him there until further notice."

[Carthrat]

Carthrat glances over her shoulders at the guards, hand straying to a vib-knife..

[Anastasia]

The guards come forward, ready to grab you. If you're gonna act this would be the time.

[Carthrat]

Carthrat's hands lash out, her right holding a vibroknife, which emnates a low hum as it slashes towards one of the guards throats.

Her other hand snakes towards the other guards gun, in an attempt to wrench it so it's not going to be pointing at her.

[Anastasia]

Lunging forward, the vibknife rips out the first guard's throat, causing him to go down with a bloody gurgle. Your second motion grazes the guard's gun, deflecting it ever so slightly.

"Guards to 13A now, sirs," your captor shouts, then his eyes widen hugely, while the other guard takes a shot that just misses and hits the wall due to your defensive manuvoer.

[Carthrat]

Carthrat slashes back with her knife at the second guards throat, hoping to take him out before he can fire his gun again.

[Anastasia]

Your second slash is fast and true, gutting out the man's throat before his energy rifle can bust a cap in Carthrat's tender hide. As he does so, you feel pain race up your arm, causing you to drop the vibknife just as you finish the second guard.

With a shimmering barrier of the mind around his body, your captor holds an energy pistol. "Sir, that is quite enough." His eyes are almost completely dilated and big as plates now, giving his face a distorted apperance.

[Carthrat]

Carthrat takes this opportunity to drop a flashbang on the ground and dive for cover (whatever little it might be), figuring that the psychic, with those huge eyes, might be more adversly affected than the normal person would be.

[Anastasia]

Carthrat tosses the flashbang and then dives behind a chair, using what scant cover it offers. The pyschic does stumble a moment, but as he does so, three guards burst in, weapons ready!
