--- Session 26: Under Red Light --- Session Start: Thu Dec 14 18:24:57 2000 --SESSION START-- >> Allen falls to the ground, the purplish light fading instantly. «ooc: Go. » Allen! * Ellena stares at Allen in mute shock. O_o ...The hell? Allen? * Hikaru blinks «ooc: Wasn't 'Karu sorta...uh...dead? » http://rpgcafe.net/WARPG/files/confusion.mid * Katia ignores Allen, still in her combat trance * Shane 's eyes are wide with amazedment, blinking to make the afterimages dissapate. «ooc: Revived w/full HP/MP. » «ooc: Oh. Kay :D » * Allen is glancing around, dazedly. «ooc: By virtue of my whiteboard being wiped by mistake. ^_~ ARMS not refilled though. » * Hikaru blinks. "What the hell did I miss...?" * Neydisa has the Jammer in her hands, realizing that effect was certainly not her doing. She turns around to see Allen as the energy fades, wide-eyed. * Hikaru shakes the cobwebs out of his head * Shane looks at him, and looks around fervently... * Katia apporoaches the machine that was brutally mutullated by Allen. Marlene: Whooah! That was so cooool! Wha.. <> Someone help him... I'm going to open the doors. ...Allen...I don't know... What happened? We...we were going to ask you the same thing... >> The machine is little more than an indistinguishable mess of circuitboards and outer casing. * Allen takes a few deep breaths and tries to stand, but doesn't do so well. * Ellena goes to Allen and helps him to his feet. Easy now... <> * Joseph walks over to the machine and kicks it around a little. «ooc: Not any more. » «ooc: Nothing now! Thanks Joe! ;) » «ooc: NP! Its what I'm here for! :D » * Allen gets up with Ellena's help and wobbles a bit. Enemy has been eliminated. * Neydisa composes herself a little despite her injuries from the grenade blast and goes over to him... * Katia says coldly Thank you, Robocop. >> Apparently, the fight resulted in a crack halfway up the length of the huge window. «ooc: Katia: Thank you! You were a stimulating opponent! » * Joseph slightly looks at Katia and mumbles to himself..."No shit....." * Hikaru looks at Shane. "So? Is it open?" Allen.. what did you do to it? I.. * Allen blinks. I'm not sure. « OOC: Bah. Will I never use my leet skillz? ;) » «ooc: I used a rip off of the Ragna Blade. » «ooc: Naw » * Allen finds a wall to lean against for a moment. * Katia snaps out of her combat trance. * Ellena is still trembling a little, "We ...we shouldn't stay here. That doctor'll return knowing we destroyed that...that...that thing..." * Shane starts prying off the keypad that the doctor dissappeared behind. * Katia blinks for a moment, then slowly sits down, quite out of breath. «ooc: Doctor disappeared behind a DOOR which the keypad operates. ^_~ » «ooc: Katia's combat trance is like fucking Mortal Kombat. FINISH HIM :O * Katia kills the thing You win. Flawless victory. :o » * Shane curses under his breath as a small shock gets him, but continues removing it, soon showing a jumble of wires behind. Marlene: oooh, can you open it that way? Ellena... 'Karu? <> * Neydisa holds back a question, and nods to Ellena. "Are you certain you're alright? That machine semed to be after you." :/ * Shane starts looking around, and removing some wires, splitting them, and re-wiring the mechanism. * Hikaru sighs. "Whatever they did to you, it'll be fine." :\ «ooc: Katia: YES. *Eyes narrow creepily* You have a serial killer thing goin' on :o » «ooc: Umm...Joseph doesn't talk to anyone, but for everyone else I would thing that you just tagged alone for no apparent reason. » ...It can never be, 'Karu. It can't. «ooc: Whish is what I'm gonna do unless I think of something. ^^; » * Katia glances about the room. «ooc: you don't have to stay, BTW, Joseph. it just means you'll be outta the group for a while. Can't say how long, tho'... » What.... was that...? «ooc: I know. » * Shane turns backwards from his work, quietly, hearing the conversation. He sighs quietly, then turns back to the wires. >> The very foundation of the building rumbles softly...something is happening in the distance. ...What was...? Is that Death? ... It's not good... whatever it is.. * Shane grunts. ...Almost... there... «ooc: Wrong! it's the Ice Cream Truck of Ultimate Happiness! » * Neydisa paces a few minutes, looking around the room at the rumble. "I don't know... btu we ned to get out of here quickly." >> The door swishes open. «ooc: It's the good humor man! » * Hikaru looks at Ellena and puts an arm around her protectively. Aha! « er but » Lets go! *** Heather is now known as buffalo-studyingmath Marlene: That's cool! I bet I coulda blown it up though. * Shane walks through the door./ * Allen takes a deep breath and storms through the door. * Shane looks around quickly. * Ellena also takes a deep breath, not looking like she wants to go onward, but knows she has to. * Hikaru walks through, as does Ellena * Neydisa doesn't hesitate to leave the room immediately. * Katia slowly gets up, pain throbbing around her body. >> This next room has less in the way of laboratory paraphenalia...it's obviously designed to observe what's happening in the room with the beds. However, there is a large, sophisticated-looking computer console. * Joseph steps on a couple of the robots circuits. <> «ooc: All. » «ooc: NOBODY WILL BE SEATED DURING THE AMAZING "LEAVING THE ROOM" SCENE » * Shane walks to the computer, cracking his knuckles. «ooc: ..hehe. » * Shane looks over the instrumentation. Maybe we can find out what exactly they're doing with Death here... * Allen watches over Shane's shoulder, silently fuming to himself. Hmm... * Neydisa waves through the door, beckoning Katia. "We can't stay here... come on..." «ooc: No, don't fume. Thats bad. Foam instead. » Mass producing him for world conquest...? * Katia slowly walks into the next room with the rest of the party, fatigue wearing her down. «ooc: AGH BLACK WALTZ BAD » «ooc: Agh nooo Karu! :O » « :o » *** Enygma (enygma@216-61-223-141.dialup.cyberback.com) Quit (Quit: Leaving) Are you okay, Katia? Marlene: *looks around avariciously* I bet they have some cool stuff in this place... «ooc: First Allen uses Free Energy Trance, then we meet the Black mages... » That's a wacky gift idea for the holiday season if I ever heard one... * Katia pants a bit "Just a bit... tired that's all." * Katia looks far from a bit tired. . o O ( Holiday season...? ) * Shane types on the keyboard, trying to glean some knowledge. * Ellena frowns, "Just be careful..." * Joseph kneels down next to the broken robot, seeing if anything is worth keeping. >> Joseph sees lots of weird parts. I will be... .oO{ Maybe I can find out what it is they did to her... those bastards... } «ooc: Shane: Zounds! » «ooc: .oO( Maybe they took pictures of her naked!) » * Joseph picks up a piece, then throws it over his shoulders, he then picks up another piece. .oO( Maybe they took pictures of her na... damn GM! Get out of my head! ) «ooc: Again, let me state: Zounds! » * Allen looks for another exit. >> Shane gets a prompt: ENTER SEARCH CRITERIA « OOC: er, strike that ;) » «ooc: .oO( I'll see if I can pull up that file. >;D ) » Hrmm... * Neydisa glances at the computer suspiciously, rubbing her sore left shoulder from where she hit the wall. .o( I can't believe they would go to this level... ) * Ellena looks about the room, eyes peeled. * Katia leans against a part of the console making sure she doesn't press any buttons * Shane types in 'biological experimentation' >> The door that Remington ultimately fled through is nearby, but once again locked with a keypad. >> WORKING... « Reminds me of Star Trek » «ooc: Document not found - 404 » Guys... take up defensive positions. I don't want anyone trapping us./ «ooc: Now Adam will suddenly betray the group! » «ooc: LOL! » «ooc: AGH » « LOL » «ooc: Falls OVER. » * Hikaru does as such. "You mean like you, Shane?" <<*falls over*>> «ooc: Wha..? » Please...please don't fight... * Joseph continues looking through the robot pieces. * Shane doesn't look up. "Pardon, Hikaru?" >> Joseph finds Copper Wire! « OOC: Joseph! With that you can create [Telephone Lines]! » * Joseph picks up the wire, almost throwing it away, but then decides to keep it. >> SELECT TOPIC: GENERAL | PHARMECEUTICAL | EXTRATERRESTRIAL | YGGDRASIL | MESSIAH « OOC: you need that to obtain [The Internet]! » Never mind. * Shane blinks. «ooc: No! I want hot wire the Metal Bird with it instead! » «ooc: Shane, you sound like you're playing Civ II » * Shane mumbles something under his breath Yggdrasil? Isn't that the research facility..? * Katia looks at the topics pop up on the screen. * Shane types in 'Extraterrestrial'. Messiah? * Joseph continues looking through the robot junk. Messiah...? >> CLASSIFIED. ENTER PASSWORD: ______________ Figures... «ooc: The password is Oojibooboo! » Marlene: This is boooring. * Katia looks bewilderingly confused. * Marlene points. «ooc: PEEKABOO » «ooc: Er. » «ooc: Pouts » Why would a secure terminal have a password? Paranoid little... «ooc: FASTEN, ZIP... uh... OLD FRIEND. » Marlene: Maybe he has two personalities, and one didn't want the other to...nah. * Ellena phews to herself. * Shane types in 'Death' «ooc: >> The console explodes and Shane dies...Death. » . o O ( If I find out what they had me here for...and it if was for something...horrible...I don't think I could deal... ) * Neydisa looks at the keypad by the door. "Shane, maybe we should find a code to unlock this..." Damnations! They must've been to the Sea of Stars to have Extraterestrial data! Grr... SEARCH RESULTS: NECROTIC EXPERIMENTATION | YGGDRASIL | "DEATH" We don't need a code for that... * Shane selects "DEATH" «ooc: Shane: Shut up! Not till I download my porn, Neydisa! Have some consideration for others! » * Marlene pulls out a bomb. "This is the code! ^^ « lol » Marlene! No! <> «ooc: Has she asked? ^^ Ask again. » A blast in here might kill us! >> DEATH: Necrotic Experimentation, eh? GaiaCo-Zombies? «ooc: Thats because we all think Katia is a tag along who we all don't care about and hate. ;) » * Shane mumbles more to himself. <> * Hikaru leans against the wall, dosing off «ooc: Will soon make taquitos :D » * Ellena shakes 'Karu O_o Don't fall asleep! Huh? What? ^^; Why not? Nothing's happening. * Neydisa holds her hands out. "Marlene... don't be so hasty to blow us all to the Guardians." o_o >> A wireframe model of Death comes up with information on his dimensions and powers he has displayed. Underneath it is the following: ">> Assassin. Not human. Agenda unknown. Information pending." It could... Can you guys tell me a little bit on why we're here. I'm kinding following out of the blue on this. * Shane blinks. They don't know about Death! Marlene: COme on, Shane, let's get outta here and blow some bad guys up! Or, at least... they're not behind him... They don't? *blinks* * Neydisa blinks. "Shane, did you just say..?" * Shane looks at the compass. >> The compass points back the way they came, as it did earlier. Ashes! Flaming Grease! Then maybe we should hurry...Death must be after something here. Lets go! * Shane runs to the door leading to Death. «ooc: Ashes? Flaming Grease? BY THE GREAT DRAGON GODS! Kick yer arse to the moons! » * Shane starts prying off another key panel. * Allen stands at the console. >> Shane goes to work on the second keypad... * Katia sweatdrops, then sighs * Allen types in "Samantha Johansen." >> CLASSIFIED. ENTER PASSWORD: _______________ * Shane prys off the lid with his pocket knife, and does his work again. * Allen thumps the console. ...great. Allen...can I see that for a moment...? * Allen steps aside. * Ellena types in EXPERIMENTATION <> «ooc: Katia: becuase we're all stupid fucks :D » This door'll be open soon... we should all be together. «ooc: Basically. » . o O ( I don't want to know...but I have to if I can... ) No telling whats happening on the other side... «ooc: Because everyone's panicky and worried about dying, probably. » . o O ( I hate this...why can't I just run...? ) <> * Allen glances at his Sam compass. * Neydisa gives Shane room to work. "Katia, we're after Death for a few reasons.. namely because he's trying to build something that's a threat to the world.. at least, that's what I know.." * Ellena waits for the computer to do it's buisness...not quite happy at using a machine. « OOC: heh... the computer's answering natures call ;) » >> EXPERIMENTATION: PLEASE BE MORE SPECIFIC >> The Sam compass points in the opposide direction as the Death compass. Stupid machine... :/ * Katia looks at Neydisa * Allen is thankful for that, at least. >> At the same time as the computer returns its results, the door slides open. ... Okay! Lets go! I see... well at least that much makes me feel like I can save the world Ellena, let's go. ^^ *sigh* Maybe I wasn't mean to know... * Katia smiles tireedly «ooc: meant » >> The hallway is much darker than before, now bathed in red light... * Shane looks around quickly before stepping through. * Hikaru follows Shane * Ellena nods, and follows the others. Marlene: Save the world? We're just here to break stuff! *runs after Shane* * Shane takes his gun out, and starts jogging down the corridor./ * Katia follows the team. >> Severed armed guards rush down the hallway, not even stopping to glance at Shane. «ooc: Blinks. Uh oh. Flickering lights :o » <> * Shane stops a moment... «ooc: several » Let's follow them... I have a feeling if they're ignoring us, Death's their problem. * Neydisa nods tiredly, a little anger showing in face. She peers outside into the hallway. * Shane turns to follow the guards. * Joseph walks up to the console and types in 'Compound Map'. * Hikaru draws his sword and follows. * Allen looks at the Sam compass again «ooc: Joe: We sorta left I think ^^; » Joseph! Get over here! «ooc: You all did. ;) » * Shane turns around, to see who's actually with him. >> The guards rush off in the direction of Death, opposite that of Sam. * Allen walks in the direction the compass indicates. * Joseph ignores Hikaru. >> They disappear behind a corner. Allen! * Katia follows after the group, though slightly lagging behind * Allen does not respond. * Ellena is behind 'Karu. «ooc: Okay, who's going what way? » ...ALLEN! What do you want?! «ooc: I want a map of this research center. ^^; » Let Allen go...! He's not going to listen to reason till he finds his sister... Where are you going? I'm looking for Sam, I must find her! Joseph, hurry with that.. everyone's leaving.. * Allen continues. «ooc: You should have visited the Gift Shop! » ...your sister is here?! YES! * Shane blinks. * Allen keeps walking. * Shane looks torn. * Joseph waits for the damn computer. «ooc: Okay, so everyone but Allen is going back towards the entrance? » * Shane grimaces. «ooc: Computer: Windows has preformed a fatal error... » >> WORKING.... * Shane shakes his head. Good luck, Allen. «ooc: I would, but I'm waiting for the computer. ^^; » * Shane heads towards Death. * Ellena follows Shane warily. >> ERROR >> ERROR >> ERROR ...I should follow him, Shane. <> >> ... « I'd kinda want to go with Allen.. if he's alone.. » ... He needs help. * Shane pauses, and nods after a second. Anyone else, feel free to follow. Take care of him, Hik. * Joseph just types in map this time. * Hikaru rushes after Allen. Be careful...! I will! Everyone else with me? >> The screen blinks and goes black. All of a sudden, the doors start opening and closing randomly in a cacophony of movement. ... Where's Joseph? * Ellena nods, "Lead on, Shane. Something's going on! Look at the doors!" * Shane looks around the corridor. * Katia looks kinda confused, but nods to Shane * Joseph draws his Gun Hammer. >> The computer appears dead. .....stupid machine. «ooc: oh dear. » * Shane sighs. * Joseph fires the Gun hammer at the computer. Okay, lets go. Time's wasting. * Neydisa steps outside, seeing the group torn, and leaps fully into the corrdior as the doors go crazy «ooc: lol! » >> The computer is busted. * Shane starts heading down the Death-corridor again, jogging. * Joseph then walks out of the room. >> Everyone but Joseph and Neydisa run towards the entrance. >> Allen and Hikaru run the other way... * Ellena tries to keep up with Shane as best she can. <> * Shane keeps lookig around, a bit on edge. « one second.. » * Joseph stops just shy of the door, and tries to time it so he doesn't get squished by the door. « Criz is here :P » «ooc: Okay, just wait now to see what J and N do. » « OOC: Ney's not with me? :o » «ooc: And kick Criz in the nuts and send him home to mama. ^_~ » «ooc: I'm going to get some water, brb. » <> * Joseph notices Neydisa as he holsters his gun hammer. « OOC: ? » «ooc: Waiting on Ney. ^^; » «ooc: Criz stopped the game, Grue. ^_~! » « K, sorry » «ooc: back. » « OOC: Who is Criz? :o » <> «ooc: Don't ask. » « My neighbor. ;) » « OOC: Kill yer neighbor » «ooc: Storen's AOL-using neighbor who wants in Storen's pants » <> « OOC: >:D » «ooc: Hik: You forgot to mention that he can't find his own pants. » Shane's already gone up ahead, and so is Death... * Joseph nods. <> Lets go. «ooc: Whoo! Ney is ditching Allen. :D » «ooc: No, he doesn't cuz he can't find them! » « I'm torn, but should I say no? ^^; » «ooc: Up to you. I'll make fun of you either way. ^_~ » * Joseph starts walking off, leaving Neydisa to stand there like an idiot. « OH some help you are ^^ » * Neydisa looks behind her. .o( Allen, I want to help you... but... maybe this is your own search... ) >> Joseph and Neydisa hurry after Shane's group. <> «ooc: whee! » «ooc: How? There's two of them. Anyhow, we're doing Shane's group first. » * Shane slows down, navigating the corridors by glancing down at the compass and up every fe seconds. «ooc: I'm going to avoid the chan... » >> As Shane slows, Joseph and Neydisa catch up. The halls are dark and empty now, but the sound of battle is growing ever closer. . o O ( It's funny to see this place so dark...it used to be so white... ) * Shane looks back at Ellena. * Katia looks at Shane, waiting for his decision. Shane...? «ooc: We should split up and some board the Metal Bird and ram it into Death as he appears. :D » * Shane smiles nervously. * Shane points to the next turn. "This way." * Ellena blinks, "Um...^^; Shouldn't you go after Death?" * Ellena nods, "All right...lead on I guess..." * Joseph takes this time to reload the machine gun with a spare clip. * Shane continues down the hall. * Ellena pulls out her bauble and readies herself for battle. * Katia eyes widen, she grips her head. And looks about fumbly as if she were just blinded. .oO{ I wish she could stay somewhere safe... what if this is the time the assassin's name proves true? } «ooc: Send her after meeee! » * Ellena stops for a moment, "Katia...are you okay?" «ooc: Shane just ignores all the OTHER people Death killed. ^_~ » .oO{ 'could' isn't the right word... 'would' is more like it... } «ooc: .oO{ I want to fight an assassain named Life! } » « OOC: In the more personal "I'm dead" Death ;) » >> Light blossoms ahead as they turn the corner into the final stretch of corridor and are faced with a battlefield. Blood is splattered in long streaks all across the hall, and only a few guards remain, firing rounds of bullets into the tall, cloaked form of Death. «ooc: http://rpgcafe.net/WARPG/files/death.mid » * Shane sighs. «ooc: Agh! As EIKOS theme comes on! >_< » Be on guard. D...Death... «ooc: ... damn midis. » * Neydisa catches up, her katars still very much readied. "Are we cl..." She falls silent at the scene. * Katia blinks a couple time, then looks toward Ellena "F-fine... I think..." «ooc: *sigh* Damn you, Death. Always being so..deadly... » * Shane looks around, trying to guage any advantage he can. . o O ( What is he after...? ) >> Death is being fairly silent, only moving in a periodic blur to attack his assailants. * Joseph rounds the corner and notices the scene at hand. "..." Be careful...That's Death...and he's very strong... , o O (These visions are increasing... what... does this mean?) «ooc: Katia: Oh yeah! It means we're screwed :D » « OOC: heh. » * Katia appears geninuingly distracted. « OOC: Hrmm.. I see Ellena evicerated, Shane decapiated, Joseph Disemboweled and Myself skewered... what could this all mean? » * Ellena looks to Katia in alarm, but doesn't want to draw attention just yet. «ooc: * Katia appears genuinely unable to spell. » * Neydisa mumbles, "...I don't think even GaiaCo deserves this..." She advances cautiously. >> Death whirls and looks up, still dodging a bullet now and then in a flicker of movement. <> Joseph! ... Try and blast the Gem next to him! Marelene! You too! Blow it up! * Neydisa looks to Shane as Death takes notice. «ooc: Marureen! :O » * Joseph shrugs. >> Marlene shoulders the Insanity Cannon and starts building up charge! "This time I'll show that big black dork who's boss! Nobody messes with MARLENE!" Quickly! * Ellena shakes her head. -_-; * Joseph draws the Cormorant and tries to lock on the the Gem. Marlene: Um...okay. ^^; *adjusts her aim to target the large blue gate stone* Is this wise, Shane...? .oO{ Better to deny him this than to... } * Katia blinks out of her distraction. * Katia approaches the battlefield and looks at Death. You're going to smash the Centour stone? «ooc: * Death causes the ground to shake right when Joseph fires the Cormorant and he blows off Katia's head instead. "....." *shrugs* » Why is there a dimensional gate here? * Shane looks for a door. «ooc: Katia's severed head rolls about and her eyes narrow creepily. » «ooc: LOL! » <> * Neydisa takes a step back. "There's more? It must be Gaia Co's security like before with Rayle!" «ooc: This is the entrance. » «ooc: You're near outside. ^^; » « oh :( » «ooc: ^^; Lalala. » «ooc: *wonders when Gayo will make the ARM users fire. ^^; » I hope Rayle's okay... <> «ooc: You're dramatically building up! The Cannon takes forever to charge. » >> Death makes two precise slashes above his head and the ceiling buckles with a protesting screech of twisted metal and stone. Hurry! Marlene: Now! Fire! Wooo! Take THAT! >> Marlene fires the Insanity Cannon and the GFrenade Launcher and attacks! * Joseph finally gets a lock on and pulls the trigger. * Shane crosses his fingers. *** Allen is now known as al[loo] >> Joseph fires the Cormorant and the Machine Gun! * Neydisa tries to backpedal away from the debris, ducking. >> The five blasts combine into a literal cloud of flaming metal carried forward on a wave of white-hot energy. Suddenly, something snaps, and the energy output triples, blasting the stone walls into dust and obscuring the entrance in a blinding bolt of pure energy. The ceiling of the hallway collapses, only to be burnt into nothingness by the power of the bolt. «ooc: http://rpgcafe.net/WARPG/files/companions.mid » * Joseph blinks. * Shane coughs, and scans for signs of the assassin. «ooc: SHANE » «ooc: BAD » «ooc: Only Joe, Shane ^^ » « OOC: sorry. » « OOC: didnt see that » «ooc: YEAH ONLY ME BITCH! :D » « ^^ » <> >> The powerstone fractures and bursts into a million blue shards, and Death is knocked far beyond the entrance, out of sight. Still, the energy flow doesn't stop...it seems to have taken on a life of its own. « OOC: was trying to get the midi working right on my machine » Marlene: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAH! THis is really weird...! @_@ * Joseph looks at Marlene. "....You think so too." * Marlene braces herself, but slides back slightly from the sheer force. >> Suddenly, the bolt of energy tapers and vanishes, leaving the air charged and smelling of ozone. * Marlene falls on her butt ^^; « OOC: Ragu Ragla appears! Combat! » <> * Joseph slides back as the pure energy is enough to even overwhelm him. «ooc: ^_^ Heh. Cool. Hope we did the RIGHT thing. ^_- Watch, we'll need that gem later. » « OOC: probably, but I didn't want Death to have all of the components more. » <> *** al[loo] is now known as Allen >> A ball of light descends from the sky, and a man dressed in white robes with insect wings on his back drops from it. «ooc: Katia...thats an understatement or something. » « OOC: and there are multiples of these gems, as it's been proven. » <> Marlene: O_o Who're you? ... « o_O » « OOC: :o » «ooc: O_o Stare Roe? Whaaa? » Weird Guy: This is the extent of my power. From here on in you must look within yourselves to find the truth. « OOC: are the rest of us alive/conscious? » Marlene: Um.. okay. «ooc: Blinded and dazed. Shane doesn't really see. » « OOC: 'k, thanks :) » .....What did you do? >> The man flings a stone tablet at Marlene, who ducks, causing it to hit her in the face and fall over. Weird Guy: Figure it out yourselves... ... >> He falls to his knees and melts into light, which slowly fades... « OOC: O_o » <<*Fumbles through the map and finds that Stare Roe rune is supposed to be five degrees to the north, wow big blast!>> Weird Guy: *offscreen* I...exerted myself a bit much....rats. «ooc: Screw you guys, I'm going home! » «ooc: "I'm not fat! I'm big boned! » >> The rest of the group slowly comes to their senses. «ooc: Heh ^^ » >> Marlene gets Flash Rune! Marlene: Heyy! Get back here! What was that all about!? *runs around* * Joseph blinks and looks at himself. >> The ARM Users' Ultra Shot is enabled! « Okaaay. :O » «ooc: "I'm sexy! I have a sexy body!" *pinches his nipple* "Mmm..Yeah." » <> «ooc: Wah. » «ooc: Can we talk? » «ooc: Yes. » Wha...oh...I can't see too well... Wha...? Who was talking? * Joseph looks at Marlene. "....what is that?" Ellena? Are you allright? * Neydisa looks up from where she ducked. "What happened?" Marlene: I dunno? ^^; Hey...we did it! Wooo! * Katia groans and slowly pulls herself up What....? I think so...it was just so bright...where is Death!? Death! Is Death still alive? « OOC: what an odd statement ;) » <> <> * Shane points his gun down while he's blindded <> >> Death was apparently blasted out into the field, where the beam cut a huge, charred swath through nearly a quarter mile. * Ellena looks to Neydisa, "But...did you feel it?" * Shane blinks fervently. Marlene....let me see it. * Neydisa gets up. "I felt the presence of a Guardian, that's for sure..." * Ellena nods. * Marlene tosses the rune to Joseph. "Okie!" «ooc: You mean that "aching loin" feeling? Yes! That was the Guardian of Sexiness, Stare Roe! » * Katia looks at the blast then sees Marlene holding a strange tablet. * Shane turns towards Neydisa's voice, his vision slowly coming back. <> « lol » * Joseph grabs the rune and looks at it. >> In the distance, a black shape rights itself... * Ellena tenses, seeing Death rise. Death! * Neydisa looks through the broken doorway at the figure.. * Katia turns her head toward the black shape. The Bird! Oh no...! * Joseph turns to Neydisa, rune still in hand. "What is this?" «ooc: HAHAHA! DEATH STOLE THE METAL BIRD » We need to stop him! Joseph, that's the Flash Rune of Stare Roe! * Shane starts walking over the rubble, trying to get into the clearing. ......Whats it do? >> Death stands in the field, smoking, for a moment, then lurches into the air, running off into the clouds with a trail of fire in his wake. Shane! Wait! * Shane stops. ...He got away... Marlene: Damn! He's STILL not dead! ;_; Let's chase him! * Shane uses the glasses to scrye the nature of his exit «ooc: SOMEONE LIT HIS ASS ON FIRE » * Ellena stops by Shane's side, looking up. * Neydisa is a bit distracted by Death, but as he takes off she calms a bit. That was Death...? * Shane sighs. * Marlene blinks and looks around. "Hey, where'd Allen and Hikkie go?" «ooc: LOL! » «ooc: Hikkie?! » * Shane looks at Ellena, and grimaces. «ooc: KILL DEATH PIG » Joseph.. the runes are a physical link to a guardians power... ...They're not back yet..And don't call him Hikkie! :/ Allen! * Joseph slightly chuckles at that. ...We have to go back in there...? Marlene: Darn! They missed all the fun! Let's go see if he's found his sister. He may need help with Remmington around. ... «ooc: No, Ellena! You get to go see if Death is there! :D » «ooc: heh. Gonna let Death get away? ^_^ » * Neydisa stops. "That's right.. Allen could still be in trouble!" You... don't need to go, Ellena. ...But... «ooc: By the great Dragon gods! You're right! » If you don't want to. * Joseph looks at Marlene, then to the rest of the group. "I'm going after Death." * Shane grimaces, wishing that Starling were here. «ooc: Gayo....no I wasn't. ^^; » * Ellena looks worried, "I don't want you to get hurt...But at the same time, I don't want to go. -_-: I don't know what to do..." * Shane smiles. «ooc: It isn't IC to let him get away. » Marlene: Hey, yeah! *runs towards the nearby Bird* We can chase him in the birdie! «ooc: Joseph wants Death's sekzy body » Don't worry about me, Ellena. I won't get hurt... «ooc: shut up Hikkie. » * Neydisa looks back down the corridor. "I'm going after him... I can't let Gaia co do what they want to ruin his sister's life too.."" «ooc: KILL DEATH PIG » How can you say that...? ...Optimistic thinking? «ooc: Hee hee. » * Shane trys to smile. * Katia looks up into the sky, in the direction Death went. * Joseph joins up with Marlene, then starts to walk towards the exit. «ooc: It's a bird!

So that you don't end up like that. * Hikaru looks slightly sickened * Allen nods. "Much appreciated." « owww » * Allen waits for the door to open and gives the body a little shove to get it out of the track. >> Beneath the sounds of the opening and shutting doors, something shuffles by in the shadows at the end of the hallway. * Hikaru raises his head and looks around, dodging past the blasted malfunctioning doors «ooc: clenched as in "holding something"? » «ooc: Rigor mortis. » «ooc: ah, kay. » «ooc: Prolly too early for that to be honest, but oh well.

Who...? «ooc: Its Dexter. » Hello.. are you alright? * Allen peers at the individual. «ooc: ...and rolls against his PER! ;) » >> The form lurches upwards with a terrified gasp, revealing it to be the woman who led the group to Remington's office originally, "Dr. Cooper". She looks releived at the sight of them. "Oh, thank Guardians...I thought you were the creatures..." No...what the hell happened here? * Allen offers her a hand up. Dr. Cooper: Thanks...agh...*she has a noticable limp that she didn't have before, though she is not wounded* Something happened to the containment gate...it just...stopped working...

Where's the compass point, Al? «ooc: The corridor is splattered with the blood of the man removed from the doorway, but is otherwise empty.

A four-foot high shambling form lumbers forward, virtually amorphous and covered in a thick barklike hide. Two beady eyes stare out from cavernous sockets. "Mmmgr..." Um...Allen? Dr. Cooper: Augh!

"No, I'm sure I was just seeing things..." >> A brown-haired woman... «ooc: I know what this basement is! » <> * Neydisa suddenly turns deathly pale. "Seas of Lucadia..!!" o_O Hey, Hikaru. Neydisa! Katia is having a seizure.. «ooc: Allen does, he's just useless. ^_~ » «ooc: This is the NPC vaults for Gayo! » «ooc: Hehe. » * Neydisa stammers... * Hikaru blinks. "Shit!" M..mother... ...I don't know how to take care of seizures, Allen... «ooc: O_o » * Hikaru rushes towards Katia and tries to do what he can, though. « OOC: Hik's father? ;) » >> After a moment, katia's thrashings cease... * Hikaru blinks. "That's...your mother, Ney?" * Neydisa starts looking around frantically. "Hikaru, how do you open them?!" * Hikaru checks Katia's pulse while talking to Ney. "I wouldn't! We don't know if opening them kills who's inside!" It's my mother Sara.. why is she here? Guardians.. they didn't hurt her because of me did they? Dr. Cooper: It....it should be okay if you...those buttons...try the buttons... ... «ooc: is it Sara or Sarah? ^_^ » «ooc: Dammit, I've got one hell of a headache ;_; » «ooc: Keep with it, Allen! Don't give up! :D » «ooc: We're nearly done. » « nah, no H :) » * Hikaru tries it on the man's pyramid, first, so he doesn't accidentially kill one of the party member's family..that would suck. >> The cone around the man vanishes, and he falls to his knees, groaning softly. * Allen drags Katia near Sam's doorway and leans her up against the wall. * Hikaru checks to see if the man is living. «ooc: I read that as 'drugs' » >> He seems to be, but is woozy. * Neydisa looks at her mother, checking for that same triangular cone. Just.. stay there.. >> The same cone is keeping all the humans here in place. Ney...hit the button. I...can't say if she'll be all right, but she should be... * Allen stands up and opens the cover on Sam's button. He waits for a moment... * Neydisa hesitates a moment, then closes her eyes and pushes it. «ooc: you first, Ney :) » >> The cone vanishes on both Sam and Neydisa's mother, and they collapse to the ground, awake but appearing groggy. The same goes for you, Allen. If they were okay when they were put in here, unless these things are all wired differently, they should be fine... Sam: Euuughhh... « OOC: Wow. Everyone in the party has reason to hate GaiaCo rabidly now... except for Joe. He doesn't care about anything but Death ;) » * Katia slowly comes around. «ooc: lol » * Allen pushes his face against the window of Sam's cell. Uh... what... happened? «ooc: no window. » «ooc: huh? » «ooc: Tt's just the cones keeping them in place. » «ooc: No window. I'm kind of envisioning it as like what Deis was held in in BoF 3 » * Neydisa breathes a sigh of immense relief. "She's ok... Guardians, she's ok..." «ooc: ..? » «ooc: okay. » <> * Allen rushes to Sam's side and makes sure she's okay. Sam.. are you.. >> Sam seems all right...not wounded, at any rate. * Allen chokes up. * Hikaru starts examining the contents of the pyramids and releasing them, making sure none of them are Shrike or Death or anyone equally threatening to him. Samantha: A...all...en? * Neydisa tries to support her mother, and check on her condition... still nervous >> Hikaru releases a bunch of woozy people. * Katia pulls herself and looks at Sam, and the other women that Ney said was her mother. * Allen hugs her close and sobs quietly. «ooc: Watch Hik release that small Mini-Death character and he kills them all. » «ooc: LOL » «ooc: Chibi Death! » . o O (These people... who are they...?) «ooc: I shall call him... Mini-Me » >> A puff of yellow smoke spurts out of Neydisa's mother's hand into Neydisa's face, and she drops unconscious instantly. Sara: Boo. Ney?! How could they do this... I should have been there.. mom... I, ah?! o_o ... Okay, we have a problem. «ooc: LOL. Haha! ^^ You're fucked! I knew it was too easy :o » * Hikaru steps away from the woozy people. * Neydisa reels backwards, clutching at her face ....holmcross.... >> Neydisa's mother stands up, reforming into Shrike, and stomps the floor three times. "Bye! Nice meeting you!" He leaps just as the floor of the cell opens up, and both he and Neydisa fall into a pit of blackness. SHRIKE! O_o Dr. Cooper: Wh...what's going on...!? What was... «ooc: Uh oh O_o » * Hikaru leaps after Shrike and Neydisa! * Allen looks around.. * Neydisa flails once, unable to see straigh, and plummets.. :o >> The floor closes again, and Hikaru slams into metal. * Katia stands there. « OOC: holy fuck :o » ...Fuck! Ow... « OOC: how...? » «ooc: Good going Ney. ;) » « Damn.. :o » «ooc: How what? » ...Son..of...a...mother...fucking... I knew he worked for them... This was all a ploy by him, wasn't it!? « OOC: If I was there, would I've been able to see the illusion with the glasses? » «ooc: Why would he be in a cell if that Mini Death released him earlier? » <> >> All around, people are groaning, sitting up, and gaining consciousness. « Why was the evil amge in a cell in IoG? :) » * Hikaru slams his fist into the ground, hard enough to release anger, but not enough to hurt himself. « er mage » Fuck... We should go... * Allen sighs. .oO( My fault... ) We need to find Neydisa... * Katia looks at all the people waking up. Samantha: What's...where...? * Allen nods, and helps Sam to stand. >> Suddenly, the room begins to shake. We need to go... at least for now. ... «ooc: Yay, I think I know what it is. » Suddenly, I have the feeling we should listen to the nutjob. * Hikaru draws his sword and tries to leave Dr. Cooper: Where...what are we going to do? * Katia blinks surprisingly at the comment "Whu what?" ...I have no idea. >> There's one stairway leading down... * Hikaru points at Katia "She's the one telling us all these strange words and prophecies and whatnot, ask her." * Katia heads down the steps. * Hikaru starts down the stairs, knowing that "shaking room" = "bad" * Allen half-carries Sam to the stairs. "Let's go." >> Katia disappears down the stairwell, only to come flying back up a moment later and slam into the ground. «ooc: My name is Neydisa Kingfisher. You kill my mother, prepare to die. » * Katia groans... * Hikaru blinks as Katia appears right by his feet. What the... * Hikaru decides NOT to go down the stairs. «ooc: Yay! Smart Hikaru! :D » * Katia pulls herself up « That was the worst thing you could do. Family or religion... ;_; » How the...? >> Something big and toothy shoves its head up above the stairwell, roaring and slowly working its way through the narrow passage to the room above... «ooc: Aagh! It's Joseph before he showers! :O » «ooc: He showers? » «ooc: ... » * Katia clenches her fists Fuck, not againnnn... Haven't we fought enough here? What is that? * Hikaru gets whiny «ooc: Monster: RARRR! BUY AMEX! » * Shane just did a spittake on that ^^; « OOC: ... » «ooc: bops Shane » « OOC: fuck me. » «ooc: Shane, your evil. » * Katia looks at the people waking up. «ooc: No thanks :D » «ooc: only if you insist! » «ooc: and buy me dinner! » * Hikaru squints to make out details. "It looks...like something big...and toothy." Dr. Cooper: What th...I've...I've seen that before..! What is it? «ooc: *baps Hikaru* » Help release them! « OOC: Cooper: Puppy! » <> Dr. Cooper: It's Rex! You have to kill it! «ooc: Katia, I released them. » ...Damn it... <> «ooc: Rex? ^^ Maybe it IS a puppy. » * Hikaru is about this close to throwing a childish tantrum. ;P Samantha: Allen...let's...let's get out of here... « OOC: man, these guys are racking up the XP : » * Katia looks around for an alternate exit. « OOC: :) » * Allen grits his teeth. "I don't care what happens to me, but you can't touch Sam." «ooc: yeah, I know :( » «ooc: But mommy! I wanted a GI Joe action figure for Christmas! I want I want I want! ;_; » * Allen begins to cast Flame. >> The beast roars again, and begins to ascend the stairway... --SESSION END-- Session Close: Fri Dec 15 00:55:19 2000
