Carth's magical adventure, ROUND TWO, MOTHERFUCKERS!

[Anastasia]

You kick it forward and dive down, and wince as the blast echos in the fog...

Before you can get up, a searing pain laces your back as a white hot blast of something fries the skin from your mid back. A moment later, the car buckles as it absorbs a shot of energy, another hole in it's lower part.

[Carthrat]

Carthrat changes tactics. Using the high-tensile magnetic cord in his watch, he fires off a shot designed to make a connection between him and the high point of the hotel. When it hits, he uses his watch to take him up and out of the fog, pistol in the other hand to take down adversaries.

[Anastasia]

The watch cord zips out, and you soon feel it connect. You go up amid a small flurry of blasts, finally breaking out of the fogbank three stories out of ten up. Looking below, you see a wide swath of fog covers the street for a block at least, only the glow of energy dischares lights the dense fog at all.

[Carthrat]

Carthrat uses his position to swing into a hotel window. From there, he picks off the goons using his superior vision, judging their position by the location of their shots.

[Anastasia]

The shooting is difficult due to the almost nil visibility, but you are fairly sure you got at least one of them. As you hang and fire another few shots, the fog suddenly dissipates completely, as if it was never there.

Below, one goon is dead from what looks to be a head shot and another is down with massive energy burns. The two by the car are down as well, and Rachel is peeking out from near the sleek car. One of the protonic rifles is in her hands.

As the breeze blows on your injured back, you feel the flesh slowly mending in a palpable manner, as well as your stomach beginning to rumble emptily.

[Carthrat]

Carthrat starts easing back down the building, as quickly as possible, keeping an eye on the front of the hotel to see if another goon comes out..

[Anastasia]

No goons come out, only a few stunned onlookers on the fringes of the scene are worth noting.  Rachel waves to you cautiously as you reach the ground. She looks unhurt.

[Carthrat]

Carthrat quickly checks that there's nobody left inside the building, then rushes over to Rachel. "You right, hon?"

[Anastasia]

"Yeah, I'm ok," she nods. "I should have warned you about the fog, but I didn't have a chance with what happened." she apologizes, fingering the weapon she now holds.

[Carthrat]

"No problem," replies Carthrat. "That thing your holding, it's a Protonic Rifle. It fires, then recharges. Cooldown is about a second and a half, don't point it at anything you don't need to," he continues, running to the supercar and checking to see if it will still go without blowing up or anything else untoward.

[Anastasia]

Looking into the "Supercar", you see that it's front seats are utterly sliced and diced from your laser, as well as having damaged the dash board some. Further, you took a chunk out of the upper rim of the steering wheel.

As you look, your stomach contracts in pain. Fuck, you're hungry. Your back does feel better already, though.

"Right," she says. "Like a camera?"

[Carthrat]

"Yar, like a camera," replies Carthrat. "This car is totalled. To the Ratmobile!"

Carthrat bolts over to his rental and practically leaps inside.

[Anastasia]

If a real world person could sweatdrop, you suddenly realise that Rachel would.  That said, she merely follows you into the rental car and buckles in. The rifle sits on her lap, pointing at the door away from you.

[Carthrat]

"Right," says Carthrat, reving the engine and taking off to Shinjuku. "Eyes open, now."

[Anastasia]

You drive out, trying to ignore your stomach's protests. At this point, the car leather is starting to look tasty, and the carpet will soon.

As you are driving to Shinjuku, you notice a few tails come and go...all non descript, normal cars.
