[Wednesday, October 22nd. 8:33 PM] [Many of the civilians have cleared out of the Fashion Week tent, but there are still some stragglers hanging around and cowering.] [BabeLon has just done something to disable your disguises, has extended her beautifully manicured nails into rather nasty looking claws, and is advancing on Redcoat in a rage. Seems their history wasn't especially friendly.] [On the other side of the stage, Mizuki is struggling to remove the steel corset BabeLon has trapped her in. Horus and Jacky are out in the audience, along with Kama Sutura.] [Our heroes are various degrees of banged up and shaken. The baddies are still looking pretty fresh. Aside from poor Tim Gunn.] [Oh, and BabeLon has changed herself to look like a slutty version of Redcoat. Complete with mask and hat. And nice gams.] [Will our heroes triumph over the evil fashion sense of BabeLon and the slightly creepy sexual aggressiveness of Kama Sutura?] [Session Start] [BabeLon screams and charges at Redcoat with a flurry of slashes aimed primarily at her face. "I could have had my body back! And you ruined it! Now I'll ruin you!"] * TheRedcoat dodges from the shoulder for the first round of scratches, which means BabeLon gets a few hits in. Her mask is intact, though, and she moves away more for the second round, managing to dodge those entirely. "Mm, was only business, then. Now, you're the one making it personal." ["You want personal?! I'll carve your face off and use it to make a pair of shoes!"] * Horus forms a familiar, golden glowing bow in her hands, and fires an equally familiar bolt of light at the woman who would not be Redcoat. [Horus' aim is true, but BabeLon is already pressing ahead towards the retreating Redocat, and the bolt flies just over her shoulder.] * TheRedcoat laughs lightly as she moves back, pulling out her gun. She eyes BabeLon's armor and tosses off a neat shot around where corset launcher meets diva chest. "*My* face isn't the one most like leather here, devotchika." [The bullet penetrates through the seam of the opening in BabeLon's chest which opens up for her corset launches, and ricochet's around inside, sending BabeLon reeling back momentarily.] * Abby , having turned into a strange mix of vintage Victorian and vintage Japanese, closes her eyes and strains, and then the corset pops off, hitting the ground with a thud. She smiles a little as an air spirit appears in front of her and she says quietly, "Sweet air." She then blows it towards Kama Sutura, and it and its friends take on a much more cutting form. [Kama Sutura is caught unawares, and is buffeted by the cutting winds. She reels for a moment, then turns and throws kama at Horus and Abby. "Very clever."] * Abby takes a kama in the shoulder. She winces in pain, then replies, "What's this, work for hire?" * Horus is slashed through the leg as she tries to fly up and out of the way, and she grimaces. [Kama Sutura laughs into a hand. "Day job puts food on the table, my dear. This pays for... other appetites."] * Abby manages a slight grin, despite the wound. "You have to pay?" [Kama pauses, then laughs again. "Touche, my dear. So many wonderful women here..."] * Jacqueline , once her gun has been repaired, levels it at BabeLon V and fires. As before, she's /still/ not watching the target thanks to Kama, but as before the lasers move essentially of their own volition towards the metal villainess. [BabeLon gets blasted with a hail of laser fire, exposing metal underneath her abdomen. Ignoring the damage, she charges again at Redcoat, slashing away. "Stop flirting with them and KILL THEM!"] Or keep flirting; whatever draws your fancy. * TheRedcoat doesn't quite expect BabeLon to come at her with *that* much fury, as obviously she just needs to change her skin care regimen, and gets caught about the face/chest/shoulders again, again with the mask intact, before stepping back rather more quickly this time. * Horus winces at the pain in her leg, but she still doesn't focus on Kama, instead keeping her sights on BabeLon. Another 'arrow' nocked, another flying, this one streaking right through her. [BabeLon isn't as lucky this time, and this one slams into her side. She's just barely staying upright now, and smoke and sparks are shooting out of various parts of her body, but she's still advancing on Redcoat, hate in her eyes.] * TheRedcoat grins more as she moves back. "Ah, I have to admit, I must tip my hat to your dramatic streak." And she does! Only she sends it flying at BabeLon afterwards! [The hat severs something important in her neck, as dark fluids begin spilling out. She falls to one knee, but pushes herself upright and continues her advance. "True beauty... is eternal..."] * TheRedcoat cocks her head at her. "Nyet, I think you mean true insanity." * Abby focuses on Kama, replying, "All the same, I think we're about done here, mmm?" as winds whip between the two of them and cut into her again. [Kama gets buffeted by the winds again, blowing her back towards Jacky. "I rather agree. It's fortunate my reputation allows me to get paid in advance. I see no point in continuing this." She drops the kama in her hands, and turns slowly towards Jacky with a smile. "Though I wouldn't mind one for the road."] [Tim Gunn, meanwhile, is still pinned down.] * Jacqueline shakes her head quickly back and forth in order to clear some of the fog from it, and once that's done she frowns at Kama, levels her gun at her, and fires beams that twist down to the ground to blow her weapons along the ground and away. Reform. Then we'll talk. [Kama pouts.] * TheRedcoat calls back, out of the corner of her mouth while still watching BabeLon carefully. "Pay her, then she'll reform!" [Meanwhile, BabeLon damn well should be down, but somehow she's still advancing forward. With an amazing burst of willpower, she lunges forward again at Redcoat with more slashes, now reduced to incoherent gutteral screams.] * TheRedcoat dodges rather handily considering BabeLon's current state. "You never did know when to cut your losses." * Horus aims right where BabeLon ends up in her frenzied state, and her shot is true, lancing right into her back and bursting into energy which short circuits the cyborg. [BabeLon finally falls to the ground, twitching, and doesn't rise.] [Kama looks around at the four of you, and her pout fades into a half-grin. "So who has the handcuffs, hmm?"] * TheRedcoat walks up to BabeLon's body, picks up her copy of her hat, and twirls it around her finger. "Dasvidanya, motherfucker." And she tosses it behind her. "Rest in pieces." [From where she is, Redcoat can see that the area under BabeLon's version of her mask is literally blank. There's the frame of the facial structure, but no features.] * Jacqueline glances briefly in Kama's direction, then shakes her head and mutters, "Other coat," as she turns away. * Abby half-smiles and replies, "They don't go with the outfit." She looks over at Gunn. "I'd... better let him go. I don't want to be mobbed by reality TV fans." * Horus flies down, landing on the ground. "Sorry, Red." Pulled my shot at the last sec. She ain't dead. * Horus walks over to the stage and Tim, removing the guns from his possession for when he does wake up. * TheRedcoat narrows her eyes. "Well, give me a second, then." * Horus looks at Redcoat, one gun in hand. "Don't." [Tim Gunn is no longer pinned! Or mind controlled. He stands up, and amazingly his suit is completely unruffled. A true superpower, that. "... my word. This reminds me of my younger days as a soldier of fortune." He looks Horus over slowly. "Love the look."] Er. ["Very Mardi Gras meets Ancient Egypt."] * Horus looks back at Tim Gunn, somehow so baffled that she's forgetting the whole thing with Redcoat and BabeLon. "... Thanks? Mind givin' me that gun before you accidentally shoot somebody with it?" * TheRedcoat gives Horus a "are you kidding me" look. "For god's sake, *why*?" [Tim Gunn blinks, looks down at the Mac-10 still in his hands, pops out the clip, empties the chamber, and hands over the gun with a wry smile.] * Horus just sort of stares at him, but she takes the gun. [He turns to Redcoat. "And that really is a lovely coat. Please tell me you're getting a cut from that designer?"] * TheRedcoat stares at Gunn from where she's stripping the faux coat from BabeLon's body and pulling out her lighter. "Oh, god, not another one." * Abby floats over to Redcoat, but doesn't do anything yet, as long as she doesn't look to be angling for damage. [Tim Gunn nods to Abby. "You have my gratitude for keeping me for hurting anyone. And for not ruining the suit."] * Abby looks over at him, then half-smiles. "I have half a dozen friends that would lose it if you got a scar. And another half-dozen that'd love you more for it." [Alas, our heroes were too beat to attend the afterparty with Mr. Gunn.] [Or were they?] [Session End]
