cityship: (Meanwhile...)

Gently, but with undeniable will divesting myself of the holds that would hold me. (Pt. 5: Chances)

The plan was...well, it wasn't simple, but it sort of was.

While the CLF attacked multiple Clone Processing centers to distract the government, the group with the CLF would target one particular one in the region that'd once been New Jersey. The group with the government would offer their services in putting down their own people.

In the center, they'd split up into several groups. One would fight a fake fight, create a massive diversion, and blow up the room where the samples their DNA were being kept in the process. Another group would secure a teleporter pad. That team would teleport out other teams to steal a ship, steal some med tech to teleport to said ship, and steal a medical database. Another team would go to the main command center and hack into the government mainframe to down the sensornet around the planet so they could escape. And Nightwing himself would accompany the clones to upload the harvested memories to the Mother Brains, left unguarded because of the diversionary fighting, and make sure that was all they did.

Meanwhile, there'd be a standing order for all teams to avoid killing other crewmates, and avoid killing guards unless absolutely necessary.

It was a complicated plan. If a single part fouled up, they might find themselves dead, trapped, or worse. But if it worked, it'd work pretty spectacularly and leave them with medtech, a medical database, the clones helped, and possibly a grateful Council depending on how the fight went, because of the ones seemingly aiding the government.

In some worlds, things that were a million-to-one-chance (exactly a million-to-one) by their nature had to work. Let's hope this world is one of them, eh, mission crew?

"You sure? It's the only thi-- of course you're sure. What the hell was I thinking?"

Truth be told, Zetta didn't have much of a sweet tooth. Oh, he liked decadent desserts as much as any sane man, but rampant gorging on junk food wasn't his style.

And yet... the Overlord hadn't really protested.
thewunderkind: (Tee hee I'm innocent)

That was odd. Not that Lash was really noticing right now, looking at all the different candies that shone like multicolored diamonds. But her eyes dotted around trying to find at least a facsimile like the one she had found back on the merchant planet.

"Pop Rocks!" Yes, score! And these didn't have alien language over them. Mostly. She shoot a small packet of them and then stuffed a lot of it into her mouth.

She grinned at the Overlord as a bunch of tiny little fireworks came out of her mouth and the sound of popping and crackling.

"Wait, how the hell are you doing that without severe gunpowder burns to the inside of your mouth?" Zetta demanded.
thewunderkind: (Laughing - LOL)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2011-08-01 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Lash would probably say something about certain chemical reactions and probably 5000 years of perfecting candy down to an insane art but...

When she tried to explain, more fireworks and cracking came out.
badassfreakingoverlord: (how you doin'?)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2011-08-01 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"It probably says something that I find that oddly attractive. Want me to make some fireworks inside your brain and lower spine?" he said, lifting his eyebrows.
thewunderkind: (Tee hee hee!)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2011-08-01 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Lash grinned, although her train of thought was probably not the same as what he was thinking right now. Sides, there were minions watching.

She looked at Zetta.

The remaining half packet.

Zetta.

She wondered how hard it would be to throw it right into his book mouth, but that would require good timing and...what the hell she just held on to the packet and threw out all of the remaining pieces inside at him.

Odds were one of them would find their mark.
badassfreakingoverlord: (shocked)

"We could smash open some of these jars, and you lay down on the jellybeglark--"

Good shot, Lash! The book is now launching explosions instead of words!
thewunderkind: (Laughing - LOL)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2011-08-02 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
She let out a laugh that echoed in all the store, as the fireworks in her own mouth finally were starting to die out and she had regained the ability to speak. Lash let out a final sort of puff, and grinned at Zetta.

"Tee hee hee! This is pretty funny!" She then looked at some of the minions.

"Well...come on! Start packing, there's large plastic bags to carry the stuff everywhere."
badassfreakingoverlord: (injured overlord)

Zetta told Lash some very choice things, the contents of which she would never know, as he was cursing about as effectively as a comic strip character.

Nevertheless, his minions obeyed either a mental command from the Overlord or Lash herself, because they jumped into action.
thewunderkind: (Popcicle)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2011-08-03 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
That only got her to laugh louder. After looking around, she settled on the strangely colored lollipops that looked like tiny little bombs. Hey this one tasted like chocolate!

Wouldn't it be smarter just to have chocolate in that instant eh whatever.

This was a pretty huge candy store, but slowly it was getting drain of its resources. Taking out the lollipop, she spoke to Zetta after what seemed like a good enough time for the poprock's effects to have subsided. "Did you have another store in mind?"
badassfreakingoverlord: (sweat drop)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2011-08-03 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
"Wench," Zetta grumbled. Surely not the worst word he could have called her.

"Even an Overlord has limits, and this is pretty much mine," he said. "I think we've gotten about all we can get. Not a bad haul, huh?"
thewunderkind: (Laughing - LOL)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2011-08-03 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
She took the insult in stride, anyway. Lash had a tendency to tune out certain things with people she liked, especially when she was teasing.

"Well we have food, clothing, building materials, underwear, pharmacy stuff and shoes. I'm pretty sure half the ship is going to be eating out of our hands if we plan this carefully, tee hee!"

Why was it that those two had ended up doing this?
badassfreakingoverlord: (badass animated gif overlord)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2011-08-05 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Whim.

"We should set up a shop! Uh, except there's no currency..." Huh, what WERE they gonna do with all this?
thewunderkind: (:D)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2011-08-05 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
"We could always exchange it for services," Lash replied, realizing that they now had really powerful bargaining tools. "Or a shop like you said, but like a renting shop! They'd do something for us in exchange for whatever they want, tee hee hee!"

Lash then realized that she didn't want that much. The tool shop already carried anything she'd want to get. Maybe she could get an extra coat or something made, but for the most part she had it pretty good.
badassfreakingoverlord: (eyebrow raise)

"Uh, I don't think people will want to rent thongs, lingerie, and shoes."

Yeah, honestly... he wasn't too bad off himself, either. What did he want? His body and his Netherworld back, which no one on the ship could give him. Other than that, he had his disciples, his minions, his girl, and -- wait, why the hell did people come first on the list of things he had?!

Just don't mind the puzzled look Zetta has adopted, Lash.
thewunderkind: (Sweatdrop 2)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2011-08-05 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh yeah," she scratched the back of her head, "maybe not those things."

She looked at him, the puzzled expression reflecting back to the wunderkind. Admittedly, she thought he was just looking at her for the whole lingerie comment. And no way was she admitting that friends and her guy came first either.

"Maybe we can just get stuff for that."
badassfreakingoverlord: (eyebrow raise)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2011-08-06 02:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"Uh, what do we want?"

Those sorts of pesky details that leave the book and the Wunderkind staring blankly at each other for a while...
thewunderkind: (What in the world...)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2011-08-07 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
"....uuum...maybe materials or something and I guess I could ask for another coat or..."

She shrugged.
badassfreakingoverlord: (dot dot frickin' dot)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2011-08-07 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
More awkward silence.

"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it," Zetta said, writing the entire thing off in one sentence.
thewunderkind: (Ha ha!)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2011-08-07 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
That could stand for a long of things between them, admittedly.

"Yeah good idea," she said with a nod. "Sides, I'll have to figure out why I stole so much stuff to Leon and come up with a good excuse." She twirled one of her fingers. "Well, I guess we could go back to the battle or something now."
badassfreakingoverlord: (determined)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2011-08-07 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeaaaah, Magog only knows what they've done without us. Probably lost." How they could lose a fake battle when they were on both sides is anyone's guess, but Zetta didn't put it past them.
thewunderkind: (Explosions!)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2011-08-07 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"Or they left without us," Lash replied mostly (MOSTLY) joking. "Which means I guess we should go back and keep up with the whole song and dance." She was already transforming back to her Ranger form, taking off the helmet.

No seriously how did her hair fit in there.

"I'm ready!"
