You beat defectively, Smartbomb [OPEN]

[thewunderkind]

After learning from Allenby herself that Zetta was outside on the ship, Lash hadn't wasted time going to the armory and getting Thorn Armor so she'd be able to survive outside, cursing the dumb people (Allenby) who threw team members like it was going out of style. What kind of plan was that? That sounded like something SHE should be doing! Just probably not with Zetta or people she cared--HAD FUN WITH.

It hadn't taken too long for her to converse with Stacy (arguing about her own safety and saying she'd be fine) about the ship's estimate as to the floating book's whereabouts. Thankfully close to the hanger, she was adjusting to using the armor as she continued to run there - still testing out its capacity, unused to it as often as her normal one due to how easily it reacted with her nervous system. No need to covering her head until she got to the hanger either - least someone pass by and not realize who it was. Her pace was slowed down by the wound on her side and the pain in her entire body. Still patched up, she hadn't returned to the ward yet, but the the suit that was quickly covering her body would soon make it hard to see that there seemed to be a bit of new blood seeping through...so she bit her lip and just continued. Black Hole Commanding Officers did not flinch in the face of stupid flesh wounds, after all.

The faster she got the big red demonic book out of space and into the spaceship, the better.

[OOC - The first part is open to those who want to stop her and/or encourage her. The 2nd part is those that want to join her, but it's limited to a few people (Allenby, Starfire, Hit Girl and Ruffnut if they want so far, PM me if you're interested) they'll also probably need Thorn Armor unless they can go into space normally]

"Lash, are you bleeding?" Zouichi looked a little dismayed. "You should be back in Medical. Why don't you just leave Zetta's recovery to Allenby, it's not like she's not qualified for spaceflight."

[thewunderkind]

"I've had worse," she replied, clenching her teeth again, as she made the outfit cover the wound as quickly as possible. Out of sight, out of mind? At least hopefully.

"Allenby threw Zetta outside, you think I'd trust her to get him back? I'm going myself!" She could be pretty thick headed when she wanted to.

[zouichi.livejournal.com]

Well, technically he did outrank her in the Command structure, but he wasn't really one to pull rank. Or prevent people from engaging in potentially dangerous efforts to save their boyfriends.

"Let's not get too ahead of ourselves. I mean, Zetta can take care of himself, and I'm sure Allenby didn't mean to... um, jettison him. Do you even have a way of getting him back if he's floating off somewhere?" He'd never used the Thorn Armor before, but it didn't really look like it came with a grappling hook or anything.

[can he heeeeelp]

[thewunderkind]

Which is good, because Lash would have totally used her outranking if she had it. She pouted. It hit her wincing a little better.

"I don't care what she might or might have not done, for all we know he might have gotten hit by a stray meteor or whatever passes by close to Stacy and be already gone to a world we can't come back too!" Wow, that sounded kinda depressing when you thought about it. "And yeah I have a way to get him back." She she showed him the Ranger bracers, still attached to her arms. "I've got a lasso gun that can tie itself up around a giant robot. Figure it should be pretty easy to grab a book."

[yes he can]

Appropirate keyword is appropriate

[thisclinchesit]

Oh hi, Lash, There's a man in a fedora in the corridor. How'd he happen upon you? Good luck? Detective skills? Probably a little of Column A, little of Column B.

"I think the infirmary is the other way, Miss Lash."

Hahaha

[thewunderkind]

Hello man in fedora. How are you doig? Don't mind lady lots'o'hair just passing on by.

"Oh thanks for the tip...not! I know where it is, but that's not where Zetta is right now! shouldn't you go yell at Hoshi instead?"

[thisclinchesit]

"Already took care of that," he answers, turning on his heel and keeping pace with Lash. "While your dedication is quite admirable, you really should be recovering."

[thewunderkind]

"You sure? the minute you're not watching she'll be gone, I bet." Actually Lash had no idea, but raising his suspicious on someone else meant he wasn't going to bother with her. Walking with the pain made it harder to get away from him.

"There's nothing admirable about it!" She was totally evil okay, those words did not count. Just like that powerup she gave everyone. It was just doing what had to be done. For fun. Important fun.

"When you said bandages, I didn't think you meant you would be wrapped around with it like some candy in a wrapper." The fake oracle said as she flowed behind Lash, her arms to her hips. She would be lying if she said she didn't care for Zetta at all, but this was the 'Most Badass Freaking Overlord' they were talking about; he would find a way out of his situation if he were to be lost in space.

But still, this girl was trying to find the stupid book in a condition where she should be resting instead. This made Pram raise a brow.

Re: Meeting Lash in the corridors (Stopping and/or encouraging her)

[thewunderkind]

The Wunderkind pretended to ignore her. "Unless you have a healing minion, I don't want to hear about it," she muttered under her breather. "The faster I get him back, the fast I can go back to the dumb healing ward okay?" Not that she ever thought Pram would care either.

Re: Meeting Lash in the corridors (Stopping and/or encouraging her)

[iceiceprincess]

"I'm sorry, but this place doesn't even let me get my full powers back." Pram replied with a huff. "What makes you think I'd have minions by now?"

She drew a sigh as she listened to the last bit. "Like I'll be pulling you back to the ward. I'm sure there are a ton of other people who'd gladly do that instead."

[thewunderkind]

"Dunno. Figured you could retrain yourself or something," she replied with a shrugged, before speaking again. "Probably. It's sooo annoying!"

Most of the time. How did she end up with so many people caring about her well-being anyway?

Re: Meeting Lash in the corridors (Stopping and/or encouraging her)

[nobel-berserker.livejournal.com]

Allenby was pelting and skidding down the corridors, absolutely determined to not let Lash go out on her own. It would end badly, she just knew it.

It might end badly anyway, but it'd do that on Allenby's own terms and anyway this was her responsibility to deal with! She would go out there herself, dammit!

Oh there was Lash. "Hey! HEY! WAIT UP!"

Re: Meeting Lash in the corridors (Stopping and/or encouraging her)

[thewunderkind]

You clearly meant "LASH RUN FASTER AWAY FROM ME" because that is exactly what she was doing.

Only very pathetically because Lash was in no way able to run very fast. At least the suit had covered up all her wounds now.

Re: Meeting Lash in the corridors (Stopping and/or encouraging her)

[nobel-berserker.livejournal.com]

Wow, she really should not have been out of the infirmary. It took no time at all for Allenby to catch up--rather than run around her, she just took a more direct route and jumped over Lash's head.

"I said wait up! I'm going out there with you, got it?!"

It was due time to check up on his E.S. to make sure it was functioning fine - it had gotten hit quite a few times, and hard during the battle on Lirath. And though Jr. got back okay, he didn't know if anything on his mech was off or malfunctioned from the quarrel. So toward the hangar Jr. went, after ensuring that his friends were all doing okay after the battle.

Lash moving through the same general area didn't go unnoticed, and Jr. turned around when he heard her. "Woah-- Lash?" The blood didn't go unnoticed, either, but the look of Dealing With Something Important on her face caused hesitation to bring that up right away. And he somehow knew that if he did it'd get brushed off in favor of said Important Thing She Was Doing. Still, he made sure to let it be known that he did notice it, moving his eyes from her side to meet her own gaze. "Where're you off to in such a hurry?"

[thewunderkind]

"Hey," she said in a look of Truly Needed to Deal with Something and the Walk of Bruises. "Oh Allenby threw Zetta off-ship during the last battle," she explained as if this would somehow make complete sense and totally not cause other questions to pop up. "I'm just going out there in Thorn Armor to get him back."

[carrieswar.livejournal.com]

...

What??

"She threw him off?!"

Could books breathe in space? Maybe it wasn't the best idea to speak that thought.

[mylittlelolny.livejournal.com]

"Hey! Are you okay? You don't look so good!" Hi Lash, have a talking pink pony.

[thewunderkind]

"I'm fine," Lash said, as neither pink nor ponies could hold her back on her search for demonic red books.

In the hanger, pretending -- er being perfectly fine okay

She was not happy. It had been less than twenty four hours (she figured) since that fight on Lirath, and she'd spent it on the ship, not that it meant she didn't get a slice of the action. No, now she was sporting a black eye, some fairly bruised ribs and a gash on her knee she had only recently gotten healed by water chick and blondie. She supposed she could have stayed in the medbay and recuperated, but then she read up on Lash's alert.

So she was headed straight for the hangar, arriving just to see Lash.

"Ok, so what do you know so far?"

^_^; Tags may be slow while I'm at con But I'll do my best

[ruffntumblenut.livejournal.com]

Ruffnut had followed Mindy with a rather bemused expression on her face. While she had no idea where Zetta had gone she found the idea of rushing to his rescue hilarious.

No worries (also others can join now)

[thewunderkind]

"Stacy says he's close to the hanger area," Lash explained, slightly clutching at her wound area. Geeze, you'd think the pain couldn't get greater but it was just nudging at her now. She bit her lip before continuing, ignoring it as best she could. The adrenaline would take care of it, and the Thorn Armor didn't show how badly hurt she was. Sides, just a heal or two later and she'd be fine. Flesh woods, really.

"I figure we just go out there, and he should be pretty easy to spot. Well the ship's pretty big, but Stacy's not red or with white glowing eyes, you know?"
