Ooh, nice history lesson Dripik. Happy Birthday W@RF!

Anyway,


Stivik soon finds himself horrendously lost and fails to find the Stockyards, instead he emerges at the main entrance. He looks around and spots the sign to the cafeteria.

Grinning, he presses the button on his black box: "It's 4:30 in the afternoon, that's designated working hours. I'm about to enter the cafeteria and see if it's being used at this time."

Stivik enters the cafeteria and is dissapointed to find only the one slig from #7 Slig's office drinking a brew. Still, he did plan to interview some employees so he walks up to razer.

Stivik: "Hey, you got time off or are you just... not doing anything?"

dripik 04-07-2005 10:52 AM

OOC: BTW, nice gun design, Gretin!


Arnie: "Well, I think it's time to deal with the Nick-Anni case. The sooner the better."

Otto: "Well said. I'm dying for a Scrab Leg."

Arnie: "You will have plenty of time to eat. We have to sort this out first."

*goes to the Fone and calls #7 Slig in the Security Office*

*#7 Slig appears on the screen*

#7 Slig: "Yes, boss?"

Arnie: "I want you to find Anni and Nick for me. Send them to the Board Room. We'll meet them there."

#7 Slig: "Understood, boss. Signing off."




*Rick is still searching in the Storage Room*

T-nex 04-07-2005 10:52 AM

"Well.. i um.. need a brew... This is too boring. Come and sit down, have a brew yourself, I'll get back to work as soon as i'm done... nothings really happening now anyway. Are you new?" he asked, as he was drinking.

"BTW, god it was funny. Nick the mudokon-lover strangled Anni, that annoying brat. But damn she deserves it. I wish it was me... But the boss apperently has gone soft.. We aren't allowed to beat the crap out of those muds... ah i miss the old days." he said, but noticed that he was more talking to himself, in a bit of a low tone.

He looked at the bottle.

"Maybe i drink too much." He said, and continued drinking.

Gretin 04-07-2005 07:42 PM

Sefon's thoughts:"Hmmm, seems like trouble is brewing, I wonder where the board room is..."
*knocks on door again*
Sefon:"Hello, anybody home?"
(ooc: Sefon was behind the door and he has good hearing remember;)?)

mudling 04-07-2005 08:46 PM

noe: (out of the corner of his eye, he thinks he sees a chronicler hurrying past.) i hope this is just a romur! hang on, this isn't my buissness anyway.
(noe steps back into the boss's room)
noe: sorry that i left.

Havoc 04-08-2005 01:32 AM

Math: You think I bless him for trying to kill you, Anni? Do I look like I'm that kind of persone. Ofcourse what he did was wrong, duh. We all know that. But you don't have to take that out on me.

Math got up from his bed.

Math: I know, just by looking at you, that your not mad at him any more. Not even hate. Your just pretending to be...

Without waiting for an anwer he left the RR and got back to his working station near the meatgrinders.

T-nex 04-08-2005 03:57 AM

Anni rolled her eyes...

"Then you don't know a person very good..." She muttered, as she watched him go away.

She sat down again, putting her hands on her head. She had a huge head-ache.

"Argh..." she grunted, and lay down.
-----

Razer looked at the almost finished bottle, and then at Stivik. He drank the last drop, and stood up.

"Well, i guess it's time to work. Gotta check what the resta are doing." He said, and and walked out.

He whent inside the security-room, and watched the screens again.

"Hmm... The restroom. Math is gone.. Anni still there? Is she ever doing her work?" he asked himself, a bit irritated.

He helplessly whent out again, and headed for the Restroom.

dripik 04-08-2005 05:30 AM

*Arnie hears the knock*

Arnie: "It's open! Come in!"




#7 Slig: "Now, to find those two. Hey, I can check them on the camera system."

*looks at the screens*

#7 Slig: "Hm... Ah, Anni is in the RR. I hope she won't go away 'till I get there."

*runs out of the Security Office*

T-nex 04-08-2005 10:30 AM

Razer ha gone inside the restroom, finding any on the bed, grunting and groaning.

"What's the matter?" he asked coldly, feeling the urge to wack her over the head.

"Nick??" she asked, as she saw razer.

Her vision was a bit blurry.

"Oh it's just you. I don't have time for play. I have a head ache." Anni said, and turned around.

"A head-ache... right. That's the worst excuse i've ever heard." he said, and crossed his arms.

"Well, i don't care if you believe me or what so ever. But i'd prefer you whent away. I wanna be alone." she said, impatiantly.

"You know you have to work, just like the others. I wont let you get away with it this time. You never do your work, i've noticed." he said, and examined her.

But then he noticed, she was holding in the pain, and didn't know what to say. His boss would maybe get angry at him if he just bashed on sick mudokons. He unsurely looked around, loosening up a bit.

"Look, i'll return to work in a moment. i just need some time for the head-ache to lay off a bit." she said, and forced herself to show a smile.

An awkward silence took place, and slowly Razer whent out. He kept looking back at the retsroom, as he whent towards the security room. He saw #7 Slig run past him, but didn't say anything. He shrugged his shoulder, and whent inside the security room. He was a bit confused. it was the first time he had ever been like that to a mud. He felt ashamed, and decided to forget about it.

----

Kix and Dean whent out to the StockYard together.

"Lets look out for the Animals a bit, shoudln't we?" Kix asked, a bit more happy.

Dean shrugged his shoulder, and replied with a small "yes alright."

dripik 04-08-2005 11:44 AM

*#7 Slig steps in the RR*

#7 Slig: *pant* "There you are... *pant* ..Anni."

*walks to Anni*

#7 Slig: "The boss has sent me. You have to meet him in the Board Room... Hell, I haven't been here lately."

*sits on his bed*

#7 Slig: "Hey, uh...Is something wrong? I mean, a trial with Glukkons must be no picnic, but you seem, um... more troubled than that."




Arnie: "Let's go to the Board Room. They may be already there."

Otto: "Impossible. #7 Slig is gone for 2 minutes. He couldn't even find them that quickly."

Arnie: "Well, yeah... OK, let's just walk and we'll wait for them there."

mudling 04-08-2005 01:40 PM

noe: (to boss) i guess this is the wrong time, i'll come back later. (he exists the room and runs off, soon followed by fuzzles)
fuzzles: me me me mee!
noe: what?
fuzzles: me me mee!
noe: you want me to follow you guys? well, i have nothing else to do.... lets go!
(the fuzzles lead noe into a small room)
noe: what's this? (he walks further into the room, then the room flashes and closes behind him, locking itself) help! help!
fuzzles: meeeee! me me!
noe: how else am i supposed to get out?
(the fuzzles see piles of infomation about everything on the floor but decide that they are going to get caught if noe kept on shouting, they then decide to hit a button on the wall, the door opens and noe runs out)
noe: phew, that was a close one!

Cyber-Slig 04-08-2005 02:08 PM

ooc : You do know you're the reason I left... right? Seriously, the amount of effort you put into your grammar, is terrible


CS : How does he know I'm called 273? Who told him? (remember, CS's memory was wiped out) anyway Nick, I'm feeling drousy... my brain is... ZZzzzZzz

CS fell out of his pants, and landed on the ground face first, his head's problems was having terrible effects on him...

ooc : Leave CS if you want, don't take him to the vykkers, he hates them

Gretin 04-08-2005 09:47 PM

Sefon: *To Otto* "Are you the boss?" *to Arnie* "or is it you? Whichever of you it is, I'm Sefon, I've been transferred here from the Rector Refinery."
Sefon's thoughts: "Gee, I hope they don't know about it..."
Sefon: "So, what sort of jobs do muds do around here?"

(ooc:
:

my brain is... ZZzzzZzz
That pretty much sums it up! ;) I would do something, but I'm pretty sure you want Havoc to be the one who either fixes him or leaves him, so I'll leave him be.)

mudling 04-08-2005 09:53 PM

ooc: "You do know you're the reason I left... right? Seriously, the amount of effort you put into your grammar, is terrible"
i am? sorry, i'll try and check my grammar next time. please be clear when you don't like something i do or i'll keep on doing it without knowing what i have done was wrong.

Splat 04-09-2005 12:43 AM

ooc: Sorry I couldn't get here yesterday, my sister was doing homework all day!
I'll just get on with it shall I?


Stivik is quiet, thinking as Razer finishes his brew and leaves. What can he do to make Anni look good for that trial? He doesn't really know Nick and doesn't really want to pick a fight with another slig more than is necessary. But even with Anni he doesn't have much to go on. But he had been nice, polite, friendly. He couldn't imagine her lying about a slig getting in trouble, even if he did hate her...

And if Anni won the case it would look very bad for Arnie. He grinned to himself, imagining what he'd do with the moolah he'll get from this job.

He gets up and leaves the cafeteria, deciding to let himself eavesdrop on Arnie's office.


Awhile later he arrives and finds it empty. However, he hears the definate tinkling sound of a glukkon walking in the distance. He runs in the direction of the noise and soon catches up with Arnie and Otto. He steps out from behind them, as if he was on a nrmal patrol, and sneakily pressing the "play" button on his box, he asks: "Hey Boss, where ya goin?"

T-nex 04-09-2005 02:04 AM

"What? I already told you i'd get back to work soon." Anni said, as she saw #7 slig, which she thought was razer.

Then she noticed the difference.

"Oh sorry... I'm having a bit of a head-ache.... This hasn't happned to me since... wait.. um nothing. Board room? It's that room... Why?" Anni asked, rubbing her head a bit.

----

Razer shook his head, he saw on the camera what was going on in the Restroom.

"Bleh.. stupid mud-lovers..." Razer said to himself.
----

Kix and Dean were out in the stockyard,

"This place is filled with animals again... They get chopped up and all... I feel sorry for them." Kix said as she looked around.

"Well, that's the way things work, we can't do much about it. But lets feed them, i don't think someone has done that lately." Dean said.

Kix thought it was a good idea, so they started feeding them.

mudling 04-09-2005 03:04 AM

(noe sees a map)
noe: there's are stockyard? yay! (starts running towards it, followed by fuzzles, the meep, ratz and fleeches without noticing becuase of all his exitment) what am i going to do? save the animals, feed them, eat them? so many choices!

T-nex 04-09-2005 03:05 AM

OOC| There aren't meeps, fleeches or slurgs in rupture-farms

mudling 04-09-2005 03:24 AM

ooc: sorry, i metioned a meep with a injured leg cam wandering before, fleeches come from the seweres, therefore, they can make their way there. what i am trying to make out is that noe is some kind of crazy pied piper. please tell me anything else i am doing wrong, i am trying to get better at this.
p.s. i'll take out the skrgs from my last post, tell me if anone wants me to change my last post in any way.

dripik 04-11-2005 10:47 AM

#7 Slig: "Well, you only looked a bit troubled, that's all. By the way, have you seen Ni... *coughs* Uhm, never mind, I'll find him."




Arnie: *to Sefon* "Hello there. You're not the first new worker here today. I am the boss, Otto is my apprentice. The Mudokons? Well, they are quite independent, but they do their work pretty good. They always get the job done."

T-nex 04-11-2005 10:54 PM

Anni looked at #7 Slig with an odd expression, then she looked somewhere else.

"So should i go now?" Anni asked, and stood up from her bed.
----

Kix and Dean had feeded all the animals.

"Now they aren't hungry anymore. I wonder if anyone has feeded them recently, besides us." Kix wondered.

Dean just shrugged his shoulders.
----

Razer just sat in the room, watching the screens.

"Argh, Kix and Dean? Why are they out in the stockyard? Oh... feeding the animals..." he mumbled.

Then he watched another screen.

"Oh, there's Nick... the mud-strangler, hehe, that guy's funny." he said and snickered.

mudling 04-11-2005 11:08 PM

(noe runs into the stockyards and falls into the scrab enclosure)
noe: help!!
(the animals race after him and start screaming at him, a scrab apears)
noe:uh oh! help!
(the scrab stops, and leans over, noe begins to pat him)
noe: awww, you're just sooo cute, i could work here forever! (sees two mudokons above him) can you help me out? (mudokon birds start pecking at him) please? (the birds get fed up and fly away)

T-nex 04-11-2005 11:11 PM

"Ehm, right. Where did you come from?" Kix asked, as she helped him up.

"Anyways, i'm going in, for some reason, it's cold out here. I wanna check on Anni." Kix said.

Dean and Kix then walked in.

mudling 04-11-2005 11:25 PM

noe: thanks, hopefully i'll be taking care of the animals of the farms, maybe we should install heaters in this place, or maybe be....(looks up and sees that the mudokons are leaving) wait! please come..(sees fuzzles back at the pen) hi guys, you look like your hungry! (runs towards them)

Havoc 04-12-2005 12:46 PM

Nick: CS? Hey... dude wake up already...

Nick stood back and scratched his head.

Nick: Oh this is nice... I better get this guy to the first aid room...

*Starts to drag CS along without his pants*

Nick: Damn this guy is heavy... Even a Bigbro is a feather compared to this robotic... thing...

Nick kept draggin him to the first aid.

dripik 04-13-2005 10:07 AM

OOC: Don't worry, I'm not gone. I had to study-a-lot recently, but I found a little time every day to check in. I'm working on my robotic character's profile too.


#7 Slig: "I suppose you should, Anni. They must be waiting for you. And I'm off to see Nick."

*goes out of RR*




*Arnie and co. arrive to the Board Room*

Arnie: "OK, we are here. I belive we have to wait a little."

T-nex 04-13-2005 10:49 AM

"Oh..." Anni said, as she watched #7 Slig walk away.

She remained there a bit, then she stood up, and as if nothing was going to happen, and ran away. Soon she bumped into Kix and Dean.

"Oh hello... I'm on my way to the Board room. Hehe, wanna come and watch the trial?" Anni asked.

"Trial? What trial?" Kix asked.

"Well, duh. Who was it that tried to strangle me to death? Yes of course a trial. Between me and Nick." Anni said.

"Oh... Maybe we should come and watch... if we are allowed." Kix said.

"Sure you are... now come." Anni said, ran away, dragging Kix with her.

Dean ran with them, and they soon arrived in the board room.

"Oh hello there. I am here." Anni said and smiled her usual Anni-smile.

"Um.. mind if we are here to back Anni up?" Kix asked.

Dean didn't say anything. He was still confused over what had just happened.

Splat 04-13-2005 12:28 PM

OOC: for future reference, Stivik followed Arnie to the board room.

Stivik sits in the back of the room, speaking into his box: "The trial is about to start. The mud has just arrived and they're still looking for the slig. The organisation of this place appears to be less than average. By the sound of it I think there is a definate chance that the mud could win this."

He stops talking and sits up quickly as Someone looks in his direction.

T-nex 04-13-2005 12:53 PM

OOC| Oh...

Anni looked around in the room, noticing Stivik.

"Oh hello. You're here too? Um... i dunno how one of those trials work. MAybe you could explain?" Anni said after some time.

"When i come to think of it, me neither. Never thought i woule experience one..." Kix said.
Then Dean finally spoke.

"Anni, how did you get involved in all of this?" he asked with worries in his voice.

00C| Mind if i bring a temporary character in? to watch the trial?

Gretin 04-13-2005 08:48 PM

(OOC: Sefon also followed to the Board room)
Sefon's thoughts: "Hmmm, mudokons in there? That's a change."
*Sefon enters the board room.*
Sefon: "Are muds allowed in here now? I've worked at the first RuptureFarms before, and the Board room was very restricted back then."
__________________

Groll: "Uh... I guess I'd better help." *Takes hold of the foot on Cyber-Slig's pants and drags them after Nick*

mudling 04-13-2005 09:04 PM

OOC| Ehm there, you just posted somehting meaningless. Can't you just leave the whole action-packed "oh oh, the animals are loose" alone? How would a couple of fuzzles be able to free ALL the animals, when the stockyard is HUGE! They would probably get killed,
It's things like that, that annoys me like hell. Please stop with, ok?

T-nex 04-13-2005 09:31 PM

OOC| Oh damnit... accidently edited Mudlings post x_x.. sorry... Anyways, that's actually fine with me. Mudling, i you want to make drastically changes like that to the storyline, please ask Dripik, or someone for permission. If he says no... then well, you get it...

mudling 04-13-2005 09:40 PM

ooc: sorry, noe was going to return them and miss the trails, and it showed how noe is afraid of parrimites. but i guess he never was and those animals (including fuzzles) never realesed the other animals in the stockyards, lets just pretend that noe went to the board rooms, and stumbled across the trail, when he wasn't invited, and all the animals are chilling out in the stockyards, except for a fuzzle who just listens to what happens in the trail.

T-nex 04-13-2005 09:46 PM

Ooc| yea yea, alright, but make sure to make it up again, otherwise it would be silly and dumb. Bleh, sorry for the editing, i was trying to quote your message.
silly me..

mudling 04-13-2005 09:54 PM

(noe walks off)
noe: maybe i can find the trail. (to fuzzles and animals) now you better stay here.
(noe walks off followed by a fuzzle. noe opens a door reading "trail in progress, stay away)
noe: this is the room! (walks inside, sees the lone fuzzle and picks him up) oops, my bad. (to audience) can i watch?

dripik 04-14-2005 07:58 AM

OOC: I didn't understand eralier what you meant on 'trail', then I realised that it supposed to be 'trial'.
I think the characters shouldn't spread all around, I mean, follow the storyline and don't make other adventures. So, let's just leave Stockyards alone for a while.

T-nex 04-14-2005 08:20 AM

OOC| That's it. Thank you Dripik, you just explained what i've been feeling all along. :o I just wasn't able to explain it right, cuz well, i couldn't find a good way of doing it. Anyways, when are you going to continue this?

Splat 04-14-2005 09:55 AM

Stivik: "It's simple really. The boss'll ask you both what happened - that's you and Nick. THen some other people will say what they saw, what they think about this, you know. Then the Boss'll probably just decide who's in the wrong. If Nick looses he'll probably be punished for breaking the rules... though the boss is a nice guy so he might just get told off. And if Nick wins... " Stivik trails off and starts again. "In most places the slig wins but the boss seems a fair guy." Then he adds more to himself than Anni, "Maybe too fair for his own good."

dripik 04-14-2005 10:07 AM

OOC: Right now...

*#7 Slig is looking for Nick, then he spots him, dragging CS*

#7 Slig: "There you are... The boss is waiting for you in the Board Room. The trial, you know. You better hurry, they must be waiting for you."



*Rick scrambles out of the Storage Room*

Rick: "There are lots of useful stuff in there. I better tell that to #7 Slig or somebody."

*runs off, looking for #7 Slig*



Arnie: "Sure, find a seat. We would like to hear your oppinions too."

Otto: "I wonder how will this turn out."

Arnie: "Patience, Otto. We only need Nick and we can start."

T-nex 04-14-2005 10:18 AM

Razer was in his room, seeing everyone get together in the board-room.

"Hmm, is the trial starting already? I'll just watch it form here. Hehe, i'll have some scrabcakes in the meantime, this'll be the best show ever." he said satisfied.
---

"Well um... right. Hey, kix, you can tell that Nick really starngeled me, right! You can help me out." Anni said excited.

"Um.. but what will the punishment be?" Kix said, a bit unsure.

"I don't care what punishment he gets. He deserve it." Dean then said.

"Yea.." Anni agreed, and once again felt hatred against Nick.

"Where is he anyway?"
