::Lillith continues dividing up the strategy between the party members::
Alright, Kerion it would probably be best if you hung back behind us while we went in and cover us with your gun. Something tells me it's not going to be just the two of them. Kenny and I should probably take front and be the... meatshields I guess would be accurate. Adrian, what are you going to be doing?

::Kerion nods before looking to Tanako:: "Excuse me doctor, but do you still have some that serum you used at the asylum, the one that makes a sorceress powerless? I got an idea."
((OOC: At least someone here wished me a happy birthday yesterday, even though I only saw it today, ^_^ Thanks Lillith))

Takano shrugs inoccently. "What makes you think I'd have stolen serums from the clinic that I--"
Lillith: "Miyo."
"Oh you mean that serum. Yeah I have it in here somewhere." She moves to her coatrack where her comincally oversized purse is hanging and rummages through it a little until she finds what she's looking for. "I'm afraid I only have one left. The rest were lost in the fire. I salvaged it from the rubble. It's a miracle it even survived. But it's a little watered down. It's hard to keep my equipment sterilized when I'm on the move, and with the weather the way it's been I can't even garuntee it'll work." She pulls out a single syringe and hands it to Kerion.

"Still, a 50/50 chance is better than nothing." He replied before she handed him the syringe. ::He inspects it before pulling out an empty tranquilzer dart and filling it with the serum:: "There." ::Hands the empty syringe back to Takano::

((Been dead with a horrible flu and school work, going to try and get it rolling again this weekend when I can think. Right now strung out on some serious meds. Lillith, PM a quick sumup if there needs to be one on what is happening right now. I'm too tired to read.))

"I'll follow, Lillith. Perhaps act as a distraction if August has friends with him of any sort. I'd prefer not to be witness to anymore bloodshed if I can, though. Been far to much of that as there is but I understand what must be done. I'll deal with the hired help in my own way."
Adrian flips back his kaffiya to stroke Ashi's forhead as he waits, leaning up against the cold wall.

Oliver looks to Iole, slightly perplexed by the telepathic message and with no other way to respond, he nods to her subtly. He then turns his attention back to the plotting of the others.
"Tink he's gonna still be there when we ges there?"

I wouldn't count on it Oliver. He knows we're after him, and he knows you know where to find him. But we'll have to head to his place anyway to pick up his trail. But where would he run to in this city?

::Iole doesn't look at Oliver, but her voice is still clear as a bell in his thoughts::
Good. Now I know they'll try, but if worse comes to worse, I know for a fact they will kill Rena. Especially when they find out what I have to do to save her. They'll cut her down if it means getting me out safely. And when I get to her, I need you to guard me since I won't be in any position to fight. But if you do that for me, I'll help you get what you want. I'll give you your shot at August, and I won't try to stop you, no matter what you decide to do.

"Pro'ably ta one of ta gangs, they'd pro'ect him 'especially if tey tink someun is after him for whateva. He's smart, figure sumtin out." Says Oliver to Lillith, thinking on the situation outside. It is then that Iole catches his attention and to the others perception, it seems Oliver just became distracted for no apparently reason. He scratches his head, looking distant before shaking his head back into the room.

Alright. But if we leave now, we might have time to head them off before they reach that protection. Otherwise we'll be going head to head against one of the Lindblum gangs. It'll be a bloodbath. That's why...
::She sighs. Apparently she's been avoiding this part of the conversation::
Oliver... I don't want to hear any argument from you. You're staying here with Takano. You're just going to have to trust me. We'll get August and we'll make him pay for what he's done. But you have to stay behind.
Iole: Argue a little, but don't overdo it. She'll get suspicious.

Oliver's well up as he jumps to his feet in protest. "But! I kno ta streets! August wronged me, he did, I shuld be tere, I shuld! I can get close ta him, more ten any of ya an if he's wit a gang I kno how tey work, I do!" His voice grows with anger and frustration. "I'm not a 'lil kid! Stop treatin as one! I'an help!"

Iole: Well damn.
::Lillith stands up and towers over Oliver. Arcs of electricity start writhing over her body and her hair starts to writhe on its own, flinging sparks from its ends. The air around her seems to darken with her mood. She doesn't raise her voice, but her words may as well be thunder, low and menacing::
You are a kid dammit. I don't want to hear how miserably unfair I'm being by not letting you throw yourself to the wolves again. I've been way too leniant with you when I should have sent you packing the moment you started playing vigilante. Now you're staying here, where it's safe, and if I find out you disobeyed me, I will drag you back here by your tail, do you understand me?
::Never before has Oliver seen the sorceress this angry. But it's not the kind of anger he'd see in an enemy, because there's something behind the anger. That look she's pinning him with is almost identical to the one his mother wore when she was very worried about him::

Oliver grows lowly and snorts, though adverting his eyes away from Lillith. "Fine... no 'ike your mum was killed by him, guess tat makes ya a be'ter exacuchnier ten me." There's more then just a hint of snide and disdain in his voice. "Be'ter ges goin be'ore he ges away, fin him tree streets ta da south, ya will. Fo'low ta blood and screams of ta injuried."

::Lillith's dark aura fades. Her eyes are watering too, but she refuses to let tears break through. She had to be the calm one here. She had to be rational. She places both hands on his shoulders and looks him right in the eye::
That's my point. You've been through too much. All this blood and tragedy, you deserve better than what we've given you. That's why it's our job to fix it. So you can have that chance. You'll understand someday, I promise.
::Whether or not he understands, she'll never know right now. She releases him to sort out the thoughts for himself::
Lets get moving. Kenny, Adrian, Kerion, Dante, Rainii and I will head to the clinic on foot. Eva, Iole, and Jas, I want you to take to the skies and circle the city. Set up a perimeter and inform us the moment you spot them. Melanie, go with them.
::The raven swoops from where she's been perched above Takano's doorway and out the open window::

Takano takes a sullen Oliver by the hand, trying vainly to lighten his mood a little. "I... think I have some of those meat pies you like so much in the fridge. Have you ever played chess?"

Oliver stands there, appearing disgruntled and bitter about being left behind. He cross his arms and slumps his back as the others scurry about, getting prepared. Though, when his eyes catch Iole's, he breaks into a little grin at the side of his mouth, just a tiny little awknowledgement that he knew what was going to happen.
Takano just makes Oliver sigh, he really doesn't like her. "Yea... not hungry tho, thanks, an no. Its no tat game like checkers is it?" He asks, dstracted now from the happenings of the apartment.
