Tara A: Which, from what she says about the attack, you didn't realise until after you beat her to within an inch of her life.
Ashley: *Apologetically* You all literally look exactly the same. I was only able to tell in the end as her fighting abilities appeared lacking and something had seemed different. And because of mistake I lost my speaking skills.
Ashley: *Apologetically* You all literally look exactly the same. I was only able to tell in the end as her fighting abilities appeared lacking and something had seemed different. And because of mistake I lost my speaking skills.
Tara A: So riddle me this; you were supposed to kill your Tara for failing a mission. Now that you've failed that, what happens to you?
*She stands up and walks away, coldly.*
OOC: Yeah, Tara A can be pretty damn ruthless herself when you p*** her off.
She's got no where to go. They'll find her here sooner or later. Better for us if she's not here.
Tara: I knew you were cold, targ, but this--
Tara A: She'd kill us if our positions were reversed! This gives her a shot.
Tara: Or I could call O.S.S. and--
Tara A: Oh, I'd love to see you explain that one! 'Hey, we got attacked by this assassin, but instead of handing her in to the cops, we decided to kidnap her and interrogate her ourselves. Hope you don't mind!'
*Tara growls at her as they start closing on each other, before Kira separates them.*
Kira: Cool it! Both of you!
All of you, out! I'll handle this.
*Tara and Tara A glare at each other before the group walk back towards Tara A's den in the adjacent room. Kira then walks over to Ashley and gives her a device that allows her to translate thought into text in the same way as when you talk.*
I'm going to take off these restraints...
*She takes out her knife and cuts the restraints before putting it back.*

Tara B: Remember what I told you two? *Looks at Tara and Tara A.*
Ashley: *Text speaks* Thanks you. *she shows little reaction to her restraints being cut.*

Tara B: Remember what I told you two? *Looks at Tara and Tara A.*
Tara: One of us has a strict 'no being a targ' policy. The other has a strict 'do whatever the hell I like' policy! How exactly, are we supposed to not fight?
*Tara A just glares at her.*
Tara A: Oh, trust me, sister, I'm ready to go!
*Outside.*
Kira: You have two choices.
I can walk you out that door and you can try and survive on your own...
Or you can resist.
*She looks at her, slightly compassionately.*
I won't kill in cold blood. And if we have anything in common, I'll bet you'd rather die fighting than being hunted for the rest of your life.

Ashley: My whole life I have been a tool. Why should I die any other way than a tool would? a meaningless death. *She curls up*
Slade looks through the bounty list that's out again as he decides his next move. Most are simple bounties that wouldn't be a challenge he continues scrolling.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
Ashley: My whole life I have been a tool. Why should I die any other way than a tool would? a meaningless death. *She curls up*
OOC: I must admit, I'm tempted to turn this into a three-way brawl between these three, but...
Well, firstly it's your choice - secondly it's not strictly necessary.
*Tara and Tara A both hit the floor, looking up at her.*
Tara and Tara A: What the hell?!
*Outside. Kira sits beside her.*
Kira: I was a tool once as well. I was like you - an assassin. Luckily, I've never had to assassinate anyone - I was barely out of training and my superiors were very conservative about using us. But I knew that as far as they were concerned, I was expendable.
You don't have to stay a pawn. You can be something more. Your voice? I know a few doctors who can use legal Genetic Engineering to grow you a new set of vocal chords. You can still start a new life.

OoC: She was just doing it to get their attention. I mean I guess it might turn into a brawl but Tara B isn't trying to do that.
Tara B: I'm getting sick and tired of you two acting like I'm not even here as if you don't care about me. If you two get too close to fighting each other I will hit you.
Tara M: I'm not so sure that's a good idea.

Ashley: Do you really mean it? *She looks at her with hopeful eyes*

Outside.*
Kira: Sure. If one thing does exist in the universe, it's redemption. And everyone deserves a second chance at life.
Plus, if you want, the doctors I hook you up with could probably give you a new identity so you can't be tracked.
Tara B: but you're also family. *She crosses her arms*
***
Ashley: I would like that.
Tara A: No, we're not! Our fathers are different! We don't even have the same mother when you consider that we're from different realities! We have nothing in common! She is an untrustworthy, selfish, vindictive, ungrateful c**!
Tara: Oh yeah?! If anyone here's untrustworthy and selfish, then it's you, targ!
*Tara shoves Tara A back, both of them clasping their fists.
Outside.*
Kira: Then when we're done here, I'll set you up.
Before that... you got the drop on me on the station. You realise that I'm no where near that weak in a real fight, right?

Tara A: No, but by her own admission, she can't exactly stop us either.
Tara: Mum would prefer we get it out than hate each other for ages.
*Tara tries to push past.
Outside.*
Kira: Exactly. From what I can tell, you probably couldn't handle a fair fight.
Comments
Tara A: You were ordered to beat her to death over just outright killing her?
Then what happened with the first one? You left her alive.
