The Evolved - Campaign log

Siraj is driving his taxi, and Sonya Caldwell, an acquaintance of Siraj's from his apartment building, whom works as a Photographer for the Arion Gazette, gets in the taxi. She invites Siraj to dinner and a poetry event. He thinks it's a date, and goes home, changes, grabs some flowers from his rooftop garden, and goes to meet Sonya.

Siraj: "A beautiful woman asks me out? Is she desperate? Oh my, what do I wear? What about my hair? Red light! **Slams on brakes**. Focus, Siraj, focus."

- On the way out, Siraj is about to forget to feed his cat. Siraj thinks about the cat food right before he's going to leave.

Siraj: "Fancy Clothes...check. Hair...check. Cologne...check. Flowers...check. Alright then, I suppose its time Farah. Here I go...Food. Food?" Farah brushes herself against Siraj's leg. "Oh my, I nearly forgot to feed you didn't I?"

He knocks on the door and a man answers. Sonya comes to the door and they leave.

"Oh. I thought...she must...maybe I...but she...oh...here she comes...ditch the flowers...ditch the flowers..."Uh, hi Sonya. Are you ready?"

- They go for vegan food, fairly close to the Up-beat Cafe, which Siraj and Sonya have a bad conversation. Later they go to the poetry show.

Siraj: "So that fellow at your apartment, was he your brother?" Sonya: "No." Siraj: "Your cousin?" Sonya: "No." Siraj: "Oh, um...uh....so how's work?"

-Mean while, Kiyomi is in the dojo taking an Aikido class. After the class, and after further study, Kiyomi begins to meditate.

- The poems go on, and Siraj is convinced by Sonya to go up and do an impromptu poem (since he wasn't prepared). Unbeknownst to himself, he ends up telepathically copying a poem from a thug in blue named Charles Olson, aka "Babydeath". The thug claims Siraj has plagarized him, and shows published proof, that Siraj has recited his poem. They get in a verbal fight, Siraj gets disqualified, Sonya storms out, and the thugs leave, but not before threatening Siraj's life.

Siraj: "Sir, I have composed this poem on the spot. It seems that I....but, sir...you must be mistaken I would never....I....oh my...I didn't mean to...there's no way I could have..."

- Siraj goes out the back after Sonya. Sonya makes it away, as another thug bumps into him.

Siraj: "Sonya wait! There must be some sort of mix up...I...oof...excuse me. Sonya wait!"

- Siraj is surrounded by thugs, whom don't let him run away. One tries to grab him, but doesn't succeed. Babydeath, with rage hits Siraj with a baseball bat. Siraj is sent into a wall.... Literally.

Siraj: "Please, please I didn't mean to steal your poem. I swear that it just came to me, please. What do you want? You can have my wallet, here. I don't want trouble." The thugs being to surround Siraj. Siraj: "Help! Help! Please, I...AAHHHhhhhhh." ... Thump....

- Koyimi comes outside, and is verbally threatened by the crew of thugs. Her thrillseeking and their anger create a fight between them. They told her to go away, but she challenged them. She fights them, successfully dodging their throws, and throwing another guy who charged her. Her luck runs out, and she too is hit with a baseball bat. She is knocked unconscious, and taken to the river. Kiyomi thinks to herself, "What's going on out there?" as she watches Siraj get knocked back through the wall. She grabs her quarterstaff and rushes out, adrenaline pumping and without thinking too much about the odds.

-Siraj wakes up a couple minutes later in a candy shop on the other side of a large brick wall. Before being knocked out, Siraj is able to call for help.

Siraj: "Where am I? What happened? I, uhh....ahh! I've got to get out of here. Those thugs. I...ahhh....ahhh.

Siraj struggles to his feet and the scent of licorice invades his nostrils. He looks around and in the dim light he realizes he's in a candy shop. "How did I get here?" He hobbles toward the door and struggles to unlock it, while the pain in his abdomen grows steadily stronger. He steps out onto the sidewalk and collapses. Siraj realizes his cell phone is still in his jacket pocket. He carefully pulls it out and dials 911.

Siraj: "Please help, I've been attacked by thugs with baseball bats. I'm on Crawford street. Please send help, I think they broke something."

- The next day, Kiyomi wakes up with the fishes. Panicking as she wakes up, she exhausts herself enough, to finally, after a couple minutes, realizes... she can breathe.

After a few moments of extreme confusion, the first thing that goes through her head is: "My Sensei is never going to forgive me for leaving the door unlocked. Am I late for work? But why aren't I dead?? I need to find that Arab guy and talk about this. No one is going to believe me except maybe him."


END SESSION #1


GROUP SESSION #2

Begins on Saturday, June 16, 2012

Siraj

-The next afternoon after being picked up by an ambulance from his close escape from death, Siraj wakes up in the hospital.

Kiyomi

-Kiyomi wakes up with the fishes. Kiyomi's feet are tied together (rather poorly) to a concrete engineering block, which is keeping her from floating to the top. Kiyomi unties the rope, and swims to the top. When she submerges, there are a few people looking at her, wondering where she came from. Amongst the people on the beach looking at her is an albino guy in a suit, he just watches, contently. They also wondered why she was wearing a soaking wet gi. Once Kiyomi gets to the surface, and finishes coughing up water, she realizes that she doesn't have any of her stuff with her. She wanders to a nearby convenience store, and calls her friend Stacey Ludwig collect on a pay phone. Kiyomi asks Stacey to pick her up, and to bring her a change of clothes. Kiyomi asks somebody where she is, and finds out that she is all the way on Brigantine Island. How she got over she doesn't know for sure. She also finds out that it is 12:30 in the afternoon. Kiyomi has to be at work by 2!

-Stacey picks up Kiyomi, and takes her to the dojo. Kiyomi showers, changes into the new clothes in the women's locker room, and makes it to a nearby parking area where her motorcycle awaits her still. She rushes to Arion City Airport, and makes it to work on time.

-During the day, Kiyomi's boss calls her into his office. He tells Kiyomi to write a post action evaluation of the recent emergency landing of Flight 1581. Kiyomi emails the pilot for information, and gets an automated reply saying the pilot will be back in a few days because he is on call. Kiyomi also emails records for records, as well as the garage for repair information.

-On Monday, Kiyomi returns to the Dojo. Sensei Takahashi and Kiyomi talk in private. He asks her if she has seen his sensei's quarterstaff which he kept on the wall of the practice room, as it should be used for training. Kiyomi tells Takahashi what happened to her, and that the quarterstaff was stolen. He tells herthat she shouldn't have fought so many foes by herself. He also tells her that she is his most potential student, and that he's just disappointed. They walk away and go to the sparring [below]

-After sparring, and after most everybody has left, Kiyomi returns to the shrine room to meditate. She meditates for a few minutes, and then she opens her eyes. It is pitch dark. Kiyomi walks to the door, feeling her way towards it, and opens the door. The lights turn back on, on her way to the door, and she sits back down. Once again she starts to meditate, a minute later she opens her eyes again - the room is once again sheilded in darkness. This time Kiyomi realizes that she can still hear white noise in the background, as well as the weird fact that the candles have gone out. The lights come back on, and the candles are still lit! Thinking she is going crazy, she leaves.

Mick

-Mick wakes up saturday morning, from a long night of playing the video game Oblivian. Mick wakes up, and has been becoming his morning ritual takes some ibuprofen, as he has been getting a lot of headaches recently. It is saturday morning, and every saturday Mick meets "Crazy Dave" Burden for parkour practice. Dave is a messenger, whom carries his package and runs with parkour. While at the university Mick and Crazy Dave had met and Mick agreed to bring Crazy Dave food every saturday. This week it was a 2 quarter-pound hamburgers, with large fries and a drink.

-Mick waits for Crazy Dave to show up at the prechoosen location, this week was across the street from the Compton Engineering building at Bowlers Park. He stretches, and gets ready for the running, and jumping he is about to do. He has no trouble stretching, as he is very limber. Crazy Dave shows up, and he downs the food he was given. Then they practice. "FOLLOW ME", Dave yells. Mick practices his falls, jumps, and other acrobatics. Dave jumps onto a large concrete stone in the center of the park, and jumps from one to another. Mick follows him, the distance is rather far, but Mick knows if he uses all his strength he can make it to the next one. Mick jumps with all the strength he can muster... and overjumps it by nearly two times the distance; nearly colliding into a vertical surface in front of him. Mick practices his uberjumps, jumping as far as he can. He realizes he can jump up to 33'. Then he goes home.

-Sunday is fairly uneventful for everybody.

-Once a month, the Lionheart Martial Arts Academy has a large sparring day. Students from different styles spar each other, in the hopes of becoming better fighters. "Only by learning to flow with all styles will they truly be able to defend themselves" their senseis tell them. Monday, June 18th, is one of these days. Many people show up, but among them include Mick and Kiyomi. They agree to spar, Kiyomi with her quarterstaff, and Mick with his blunt tipped rapier. They spar twice, both times Kiyomi keeps Mick at bay for a few seconds, but then Mick wins. Mick pounces at the end of the second round, with such force that it sends Kiyomi backwards. Kiyomi is thankful that this was just sparring and that she had armor on.
