<> <> <> * Lexi shakes her head, perplexed, sighs and calls her father. (Where is Lexi right now?) (Um.... Good question! It's just the day after the mission? She's probably on Mars then. I can't imagine her skipping off to earth for just one day.) (And she has her own apartment, right?) (Yeah) <> "No." (He is the nicest man.) (He is!) * Lexi rolls her eyes. "Dad! You're the one who sent me out here, remember? It's not like I'm out partying. I'm doing my job! And WHY am I grounded in the first place? What did I do?" "You mean you DIDN'T compulsively check your own news when you woke up? Maybe honest work did something for you after all. But there's no way in hell I'm letting you out of your apartment until I get there to take you back home, not with the media circus going on." * Lexi blinks. "WHAT Media circus?" and she turns on TVNet as she says that. <> "The one we ginned up about the Duekti, is what. What a fucking mess." * Lexi shakes her head. He jaw drops open. "Dad! They're lying! Well not exactly... we DID find a race of xenophobic bird-people. But it's not like we went in there and angered them on PURPOSE! Hell they told us to leave and we left! Where the hell did they even GET this footage!?" "Who knows? I don't even know who came up with the plan, I just signed off on it. And part and parcel of the deal is, you don't get dragged in for questioning and even more paparazzi photos with you modeling handcuffs, and I take you back home. And then we're gonna find a nunnery with doors that lock, I swear to space jesus." "What plan? What are you TALKING about!?" "It's not your problem anymore, cookie. Just pour yourself a drink or four, and don't bug the nice guards outside your apartment door. I'll be there before you know it." *click* Fuck! * Lexi sighs and heads over to the window to look out it. <> * Lexi staggers back. "That's just great...." * Lexi thinks for a moment then goes and grabs a full size mirror. She floats it over to the window, opens the window with TK and floats it out so that the flashes reflect back on the media, she herself floats out behind the mirror with her back to it. "Blind yourselves, assholes." <> * Lexi sighs and shrugs. She lets the mirror drop towards the guards. She will stop it right before it hits them if they don't move out of the way. In the meantime, she tries to grab one of their weapons away from them and flies as fast as she can for the roof. * Lexi she also floats her phone up to her ear and dials um... Kyle's number! <> 2d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lexi (2d6+6) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 13. <> <> * Lexi winces. "Son of a..." She uses one of her TK arms to try and wrest free of the boot and tries Tomas' number instead. <> (Just talk over in that channel and i'll paste text back into here when I cut log) (So you're floating in the air?) (Floating up to the roof and then floating up 50 meters) <> <> * Lexi rolls her eyes and yells back. "Stop wasting your ammo! Dad's not going to like that you wasted money like that!" <>
