Project: Daedalus (Issue #2)

"I don't mind if you smoke, just don't blow it in my face... I'd even lend you the money if I had it but unfortunately I've been cut off from my funding at the moment..." Kiro says with a bit of an upset smile, "and it's not art, I'm just waiting until I'm hungry enough to eat it."


Kiro sighs lightly but he smiles a bit now, "As I was telling Miguel, it's not art but if you can find me something more appealling I'd be quite thankful... perhaps I had misjudged you."

"Misjudge me?" scoffs Tyrone jokingly. "I'm just another American pig-dog bent on becoming the lapdog of a corrupt government. Speaking of pig-dogs, did you ever read that story about that elite who..." Tyrone says to Jessica and the table as a whole as he goes into another Tyroc tale.

The gang at IHOP finish eating, swapping stories and drinking coffee while Kiro eats his teriyaki chicken and rice and a few peices of sushi supplied from a restaurant a few blocks away. As they prepare to leave, some of the staff get autographs from both Jersey Devil and Tyroc. The manager graciously accepts the generous tip for arranging for the japanese food.

At Tyrone insistance, they head over to the mall for some shopping. Being Sunday, many of the smaller shops are closed, but the mall is just opening. They cruise the mall, Tyrone buying whatever he deems necessary, but Jersey Devil tries to hurry him up, as he wants to head back to the hospital.

OOC: If you want to post more specifically what you did before, after, or at the mall, go ahead. Just moving things along. Back at the hospital, I need to know if Sarah and Aaron are going to get some rest or not while they have the chance before I post what happens there.

The tray of food Sarah pushes aside as she leans back in the rather uncomfortable hospital bed. Her eyes focus on a spot on the wall and she lets herself retreat into her own thoughts. Beside the sound of the television playing in the background, the only noise came from the machines that monitored the four roommates.

After a moment, she gingerly turns onto her side and looks at Jaya. She had told Screaming Eagle that the former BioGen employee would get no sympathy from her but that was only partially true. She had seen the mess Random had done to her mind and knew that it could take hours or weeks for Jaya to regain consciousness. Chances are, Jaya's testimony would be a vital part of getting any possible charges against the group dropped.

Never one for just waiting, Sarah had to do something. Ignoring her own pain, she concentrates on the unconscious doctor and directs her consciousness toward the other woman.

ooc: If she can help without causing further damage, Sarah will attempt to make contact with Jaya and help her fix the damage Random did to her.

"Muahahaha!" Tyrone cackles as he enters the mall, diving into a nearby clothing store, dragging people in his wake. "Think Neutron will like this?" he says, holding up a large Chicago Bull's jersey. Not actually waiting for an answer, he drags everyone along into an Elite Memoribilia store, picking up an AF T-shirt, along with individual ones of the members in Colorado. He lets out a little squeal, and pulls a large t-shirt from the rack. Holding it up, you see it's one of him. "Yo, not a bad likeness! Didn't think these made it out of New York."

He continues cruising the mall, making people try on clothes and getting replacements for those with damaged goods, along with replacements for those in the hospital. He makes everyone try on sunglasses and purchases several pair of glasses with American Flags emblazoned on the front of the lenses. "Oh man, you guys gotta be wearing these," he says to JD getting three pair and putting one on him.

Finishing up the shopping in a leather store, he picks up a replacement leather jacket and a repair kit for his current one, and finally agrees to leave. "Jeeze furball, you were getting real annoying. I almost gave in there for a second," he says as they leave the mall.

Somewhere in the shopping trip, he managed to sneak in a purchase for Jessica, a leather bomber jacket with a little note embroidered inside and a Tyroc T-shirt, signed of course! Both he gives to her as they wander back to the hospital, thanking her for turning the day into one to remember.

OOC: Now Agamon can kick your butts in the hospital. Before going back to ICU, he'll pick up coffee for everyone, nurses included and a chocolate milk for Aaron.

Never one for just waiting, Sarah had to do something. Ignoring her own pain, she concentrates on the unconscious doctor and directs her consciousness toward the other woman.

As Sarah's mind touches Jaya's, Jaya's eyes flash open and she begins to look around quickly. "What? Where...hospital?" She looks over at Sarah, but not really seeing her. "Where are we?" she says in a paniked voice.

"If your not going to get me a pack of smokes, then get me this pack of cards."

Miguel tells Tryone as he tosses him a pack of playing cards.

Miguel tells Tryone as he tosses him a pack of playing cards.

"As long as you don't try to smoke 'em," laughs Tyrone.

As Sarah's mind touches Jaya's, Jaya's eyes flash open and she begins to look around quickly. "What? Where...hospital?" She looks over at Sarah, but not really seeing her. "Where are we?" she says in a paniked voice.

" Relax, Doc, before you give yourself a stroke." Sarah reaches over and presses the nurses call button to alert them to Jaya's now conscious condition. " We're in a hospital in Denver. Apparently, a deal was made with AF to get us help after Evolution decided to kick out collective asses. You may have a headache for a while, but you got off easy for now."

A little stronger after being awake for a while, Sarah once again climbs out of the bed but is able to stand and move about with only minimal pain. She stands next to Aaron's bed and touches his arm to get his attention. " Hey, I don't know about you but I'm tired of waiting. I'm going to go see about finding a phone. There anyone you want me to call for you?"

"Nah, I am ok I guess. I am still pretty sore, besides I trust Screaming Eagle. I figure she probably is trying to do what is best for us. Sorry, I lost my temper earlier.....

If you could hand me the remote for the TV," he says nodding towards the remote sitting on Sarah's bed, "and maybe see if there is anything to read would be great though. It gets pretty boring being couped up like this all the time but I figure we will be out and about soon enough."

"As long as you don't try to smoke 'em," laughs Tyrone.

"Don't think that it didn't cross my mind amigo," Miguel chuckles. "You never know when nimble fingers can come in handy and if you don't use it, you lose it." Miguel says as he walks beside the group practising with the cards.

OOC: what I mean by practise is various card tricks, palming, drawing from the bottom etc.
