Lisa's Story, Part 1

Lisa's Story, part 1

Compiled by Steve Lucky

(A young girl approaches the group. She is about 5'4", has blond hair, blue eyes, and weighs somewhere between 110 and 150 pounds. She appears to be somewhere between 12 and 15 years old. Currently she is wearing a plain yellow T-shirt, blue jeans, and white tennis shoes. Cautiously she watches the group from a distance before making her move.)

Mizue : And you know what _really_ gets me? There's another guy walking around named Jiro! That's _my_ mane.

Scott : Um, Jiro is one of the commonest names in Japan.

Mizue : But nobody would introduce a character with a preexisting name unless they knew the name was going to stay free.

Scott : Huh? How do you figure? I know there's at least one other Scott around here.

Street : Ah-choo!

(The young girl picks this moment to make her presence known.)

Lisa : Excuse me! My name is Lisa, the only Lisa as far as I know, and I was wondering if you could tell me where I am. I think I'm lost.

(She makes a pathetic attempt to hide her fear and then starts to tremble.)

Lisa : I-i-is it v-very d-dan-g-ger-ous a-r-round th-ese p-parts? I-I h-heard it wasn't safe.

(She takes a deep breath and then looks behind her as if she thinks someone or something is chasing her.)

Mizue: Uh, hi! *smile*

Mizue: You're in a very special part of Nerima Ward. Is someone chasing you?

Mizue points to the Stealth Bomber. "If someone's chasing you, I don't think Scott or Kuroino will mind you coming with us. Not many pursuers can catch up with a Stealth Bomber, even a telekinetically driven one. Just don't jump in any pools."

Kuroino: You forgot some things.

Mizue: Like?

Kuroino: Oh, space aliens, flying mecha, prehistoric monsters, that sort of thing. Plenty of things we don't want chasing us can catch up with us.

Mizue: Oh, stop acting so evil. If she's running away on foot, it's probably not from something that flies at a thousand kilometers per hour.

Lisa: Where are you going?

Mizue: That's a _long_ story. Anyway, you coming?

Keido: You wouldn't be related to Hibiki Ryouga would you?

RL-KDO: Heeeeeyyy...weren't you up in space with the anti-invasion team?

Keido: (flat look as he drops an anvil on his RL) I live in a TARDIS. I'm an apprentice thunder god. Do the math.

RL-KDO: Point. (disappears)

>Lisa : I-i-is it v-very d-dan-g-ger-ous a-r-round th-ese p-parts? I-I >h-heard it wasn't safe.

Keido: That all depends. If you're a hotshot martial artist, dumber than the average stump or Kurenai Tsubasa, immortal, or just plain too innocent and peaceful to be hurt, you're safe. If not, kami help you.

> (She takes a deep breath and then looks behind her as if she thinks

>someone or something is chasing her.)

Keido: (waving) Bye now!

Keido steps behind a police call box, and with strange SFX, soon both Keido and the call box are gone.

Revealed are Ratzik and her Skwad of Kommandos who have just been dropped off.

Ratzik : (Looks around) Well, close enough I guess. (Comm-link) Central, this is Ratzik. I need transport Stat. Location is <insert location> Move! (To Orks) Skwad, Deploy! Secure the area!

Half the Orks form a loose ring around Ratzik, bristling with weapons, the other half move out to carefully check the surroundings for remaining Little Green Men.

Ratzik : Hello Scott, did you have fun with the Barnybot?

Scott : (pulls out a purple Alarm clock) (Big Grin) Yep, got a momento!

Ratzik : (Walks over, with bodyguard) Get one for me? Who's the girl?

: >>Lisa : Excuse me! My name is Lisa, the only Lisa as far as I : >>know, and I was wondering if you could tell me where I am. I : >>think I'm lost.

Scott: You're on A Street in Nerima, Tokyo, Japan, Earth. A nexus of extreme weirdness on this planet. Is that close enough, or do you need galactic, timespace, and dimensional referents?

: >Keido: You wouldn't be related to Hibiki Ryouga would you? : > : >RL-KDO: Heeeeeyyy...weren't you up in space with the anti-invasion team? : > : >Keido: (flat look as he drops an anvil on his RL) I live in a TARDIS.

Scott: What you need is Noncombatant status. Then you're totally safe, well, from the physical stuff. Maybe you could ask Nabiki how she manages it. If you can afford the consulting fee...

Scott: Of course. (handing over an alarm clock) This is Lisa, who's running from someone or something and is lost. Of course she'd end up in Nerima. (to Lisa) And this is Ratzik, chief intelligence officer for the ork contingent in Nerima. Probably the only one for whom that wouldn't be an oxymoron.

Ratzik : Flattery, my friend, will get you absolutely nowhere. Now then Lisa, sit down and lets talk. (Find a piece of rubble to sit on) I've a little while before my ride arrives. Who are you, Who's after you, Why and Where are you from?

Lisa : (looks around wide eyed, especially at the Large, Green skinned, red eyed, heavily beweaponed Orks, and the green skinned, golden eyed woman sitting down next to her)

RLnote. And more green people arrive. Green, green, green! All seems to be green again. ^_^

(The Martian version of Knight Sabers arrive. To those who might not know(=Lisa):The battlesuits are four-and-half-feet tall versions of the orginal suits. Plus there are Black, Brown and Purple Sabers too.)

Martian:(takes off its helmet)<huff>Holy stars. These things are hot! The Commander thanks for your assistance in destroying the invaders mothership, Ratzik.

Ratzik:I don't remember telling you my plans...

Martian:I watched griTVision. Anyway, do you guys have any new info about the invaders or something. We took a lot of POWs, but most of them don't know a thing.(notices Lisa)And who's the new PC?

Scott:How did you know she's a PC?

Martian:I got an email from her RL.

all:<facefault>

White Saber:Uh...what about us?

Martian:We may still need you. Stay around.

Sabers:<very loud>YES SIR!</very loud>

Martian:And please deactivate the megaphones, OK?

Ratzik : (Thinks : Bloody Journos! Freedom of information indeed!) I probably shouldn't tell you this, but preliminary indications are an Arch Demon is primarily responsible. It's name is (Writes 'N'astirith' outside the TARDIS, saying his name might attract his presence...) I will know more once I have access to my net.

(For a few seconds she mistakes the newcomers for whatever has been chasing her but she quickly realizes that they are friendly.)

Lisa : I must say this an unexpected surprize, even around here. Are you really Martians or do you just call yourself Martian?

(She shows Martian the crystal clear jewel her parents obtained.)

Lisa : Since you have been observing me with griTVision, I'll save you (and myself) the trouble of repetion. Would you have any idea what kinds of powers this jewel might have or why the guardion would want it so badly? (short pause) As long as I'm at it do you have any idea what happened to the rest of my family? And one final question. Is the TARDIS really bigger on the inside than it is on the outside? I certainly hope so. It looks awfully crowded in there.

Martian:A demon? Thats bad news, demons aren't our specialty, we being aliens and all that stuff. I'll pass the info to the higher-ups and try to get you some assistance, but the rumor is they are already gathering our fleets to attack the LGM homeworld. Gotta wait and see. >> >> >Scott:How did you know she's a PC? >> > >> >Martian:I got an email from her RL. >> > >> >all:<facefault> >> > >> >White Saber:Uh...what about us? >> > >> >Martian:We may still need you.

Martian:Yes, we are from the planet Mars. My name is actually(draws a deep breath) The-Martian-Who-Is-Too-Curious-For-Its-Own-Good-And-Likes-To-Watch-The-Stars. (takes another deep breath) Nice to meet you.

Martian:Whoa, whoa, whoa. Calm down a little. Letssee...I haven't actually observed you with griTVision, but I am an intelligence agent and have some pretty advantaged tech to help me. Now could you repeat your questions one at a time?

Lisa:Do you know anything about this jewel's powers and why its guardian wants me so badly?

Martian:(looks at the stone) Is it magical?

RLJussi:AFAIR the stone was so...

Lisa:Yes.

Martian:Well, then I really can't help you. We don't know much about magic. We could always try to analyze it, and see what we can get. It's pretty hectic back at the Mothership now so, let's get back to that question couple of days later, OK?

RLJussi:Now, if that jewel is magical, it is an opportunity the martians won't miss. They want to learn all they can about magic.

Martian:Now, what else did you ask?

Lisa:Do you know anything about where my family disappeared?

Martian:No. There are five billion humans living here, there is no way we can keep track of them all. Sorry.

Lisa:Oh, then is TARDIS really bigger on the inside?

Martian:As far as we know, yes. The TARDIS excists on multiple dimensions at the same time, so while it is quite small in our three-dimensional universe it stretches to other dimensions, so it's really big. Or something like that, I'm not really sure.

TL-RL Note: FYI, Keido is *not* a Time Lord. He is an immortal and an apprentice thunder god, who happens to be currently living in the TARDIS due to the good graces of Corrie, who *is* a Time Lord (and currently involved with Keido). It's *her* TARDIS. Keido can't control it. He can just get in and out and he has his own room on board. Corrie happened to be waiting inside for Keido, and they were probably off somewhere. Nuff said.

: Lisa : I am Lisa. I'm only 14. My entire family disappeared : looking for cursed objects and something is chasing me but I don't : know what it is. Other than that I'm doing fine.

Scott: But if you don't know what it is, how do you know it's real? ^_^

Street: You're in Nerima.

> (She makes a pathetic attempt to hide her fear and then starts to >tremble.)

Street: Why does mention of this town always have that effect on people?

>Lisa : I-i-is it v-very d-dan-g-ger-ous a-r-round th-ese p-parts? I-I >h-heard it wasn't safe.

Street: It's perfectly safe. Why, I've only been threatened with death...(counts on fingers) ten times.

Scott: It's been more then that, surely.

Street: Indubitably. (Waves his hands in the air.) But I'm out of fingers.

Lisa: <facefault>

> (She takes a deep breath and then looks behind her as if she thinks >someone or something is chasing her.)

Street: Aww...She reminds me of my baby cousin...

Lisa: Hey, I'm not a baby! I'm fourteen!

Street: Where's your mom, kiddo?

Lisa : That's a long story. My parent like to find cursed objects. Now my entire family has disappeared and something is chasing me. No matter where I go I just can't seem to loose it.

Shiroino: <Comes wandering down street, hale and hearty. Doesn't look at all like he tangled with Epsilon and discovered the meaning of 'outclassed'> Hey, guys, what's new?

Street and Lisa: Who are you?

Shi-kun: Sorry. I always assume that everyone knows as much about me as.. anyway, I'm Shiroino, doer of good deeds and stuff like that.

Lisa: Shi? Doesn't that mean death?

Shi-kun: Look, my name is Shiroi-no. White one. Ignore any morbid overtones in my name. Anyway, you're lost and alone and being hunted by a mysterious beastie, ne?

Lisa: Right.

Shi-kun: Why don't you come stay at my place for a while? It's safe, and clean, and meals are regular.

Lisa: Wow, thank you, but I don't want to..

Shiroino: No trouble at all. Trust me, I do this kind of thing all the time. It's a way of life.

Lisa: But it might not be safe for you?

Shi: Oh, you mean that shadowy beast that stalks you from unseen lairs for the time to be right? Don't worry, we can take care of you. If things get really ugly, I might have to wake some people up to help chase it off, but we can probably take it. Anyway, I live at Yin-Yang Uchi, meaning 'house'. It's dead-center of Nerima, next to the Tendo Dojo. Painted like a yin-yang. You can't miss it. Tell Kiri that Yang-chan sent you. If you can't find the place, ask the card. <hands her a card, all white> It is linked directly to Ralcaj, who takes all my calls. He can point you in the right direction, or send someone to teleport you. Well, gotta go!

Scott: Wow. He's in a good mood today.

Card: Of course. He's helping people. Easiest way to make him happy.

RLNOTE: If she takes him up on it, just post a reply to that effect. If you want, I can narrate the actual arrival, or we can leave it that you're hanging out at YYU. If she doesn't accept, she is welcome to hold onto the card, and call for help anytime.

Lisa : I'm in the middle of a trip to the cursed pools right now but I'll take you up on your offer as soon as I get back.
