:

You aren't expected to just walk around but if other events are to happen they only work if they grow naturally; as I said, Dionysia and Skelter just came within an inch of flaying each other just cus of who they are. Then she coped with her agression by slapping the nearest person who she could hit without looking petty, and that led to this current entanglement (By the way, I'm waiting for SkillyaSlig or Ark, but Ark the mudokon could use the fight between Mola and Ophelia (awesome name!) as a distraction to dive for cover; say the kitchen, and from there to the warehouse, furthering the plot) which is giving half the factory a lot to do while the other half fights the fire. Where might this end with Ark is such trouble? What will it mean for the characters involved?

Out of Coffee: Right, I guess that makes sense. Where I came from in the roleplaying universe (and where i've been for six years, wowza) roleplays are meant to be fast and furious. Every plot has a dramatic twist, replies come literally in seconds, and an entire 20-page-long roleplay can last less than an hour. I suppose thats why i'm used to characters mauling one another to tatters. ^^

Let me see what kind of reply I can dish out...

BIC:

Ophelia hauled Mola into a standing postion. He stood ridgid, tears of frustration streaming down his face, mouth still gagged, hands still bound.

"All right," Ophelia said calmly, looking around. She stiffened. The situation she had forgotten about hadn't improved; the slig (Cylepso) had even gone as far as to shoot at the mudokon (Ark)!
"Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight..." She chanted, her voice trailing off after she realized nobody was joining in.

---

Skelter wandered closer to the fight with a loud sigh. It wasn't her place to try and calm people down (she was the polar opposite of a pacifist) but seeing as she had an important job to do and hated wasting time, she did so anyway.

"Hey, people," she said, crossing her arms. "Chill. We don't need to be shredding each other over something as erratic as a glowing mudokon, no offence." She shrugged. "But if you plan on ganging up on that coal-colored brat over there, you have my total support."

Splat 05-20-2008 03:17 PM

ooc: Coal-coloured. Yup, that's pretty much right. :p

IC:
"Are you crazy?" Dionysia hissed at the intern, "If he's a native Odd knows what powers he has. You been living under a rock for 4 years?" With any luck the intern would get too close and the mud would boil her brains out of her ears. In the meantime, Dionysia opted to stay near the door in case the mud made a run for it, but admittedly she was distracted by grubbs. When the female one started chanting Dionysia shot her a withering look.
Dionsyia was not particularly adept at using weapons as she was generally intended for undercover work, but right then she could have done with some sort of gun.

Krik had glanced at the grubbs only enough to ensure they weren't another threat, and then began groping through his bag for his snuzi. He pulled it out just as the slig fired. The mudokon dodged the shot, moving closer to Krik, who panicked a little and fired with more vigour than thought.

(ooc: Feel free to dodge again :fuzwink: A snuzi will only stun of course but Krik wasn't particularly aiming it well, and his reactions aren't what they used to be :p)

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Jim arrived at the lab. There was no one there.
Still breathing with some difficulty, he sat on the table intending to wait until someone arrived, unaware that the two vykkers Dek and Praetyre had quit without making any announcement that very morning for reasons of their own.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Anni looked up at last, in surprise. "There are stories about this place, about how nice it is?" She grinned suddenly, in excitement, "That's amazing! I bet Math told everyone! And all the other mudokons who used to work here! Is that why you came here, cus you heard the stories? You looked surprised when I said earlier that the sligs here were sometimes nice!"

This titbit of information had a sudden and extreme effect on Anni. When she had first come here it had been wonderful, to be away from that place full of vykkers, around new people, new animals. She had been so happy here and the place had indeed been a sign of hope, a new beginning, a relief from all those horrible times in her past. Slowly that image had faded, with Stivik coming, friends leaving, that vykker Dek arriving. Everything she loved had sunk away to be replaced by the pain Nova had brought back to her. The thought that other mudokons might see this place as a symbol of hope allowed her to remember the goodness she had gotten from here, and hope came back to her.

Without her noticing, the tattoos on the backs of her hands, normally faded of colour and almost indistinguishable from her unmarked skin, flooded with colour, one white and one black. And the black one was shrinking while the white one grew larger.


ooc: I'll try and find the post where Anni gained her hand-scars and edit a link or two onto this post. Gretin, its up to you if Hembar notices them, and if she interprets any meaning from them. Anni has her legs tucked up against her chest and her arms wrapped around her legs.

Probably should have mentioned it sooner but since she got shot yesterday she probably has a bandage round her chest and another on her arm. :p You can forget it if you want; I'm a bit late mentioning it really.

EDIT: Hooray for the Search Thread feature!
Alright, Anni and Stivik just fought each other in the lab (Anni was still controlled by T-nex at this point). It culminated in Stivik stabbing Anni with an anonymous syringe (Anni had done the same thing to him in a rage the night before, but overwhelmed with guilt she had run to get him help) and leaving the lab. She collapsed and realised she was dying, at which point she had a somewhat significant vision. Waking up she had the tattoos.
Since then the black one has grown when she's been feeling particularly angry, often when Nova's been influencing her.
This is I believe the first time the white one has shown any noticed change.

If you want to read around it, for fun or profit (and it is so one of my favourite parts of the RPG, if you overlook anything posted by Outlaw King) then here's a link.

Oh, and just so I don't get any people saying we were godmodding, T-nex and I were discussing the fight over MSN as we wrote it.

MeechShrykull1029 05-20-2008 03:39 PM

OOC: As I already told you in my latest blog entry, I am back in the RPG.

arkaznor 05-20-2008 03:55 PM

OOC: Splat, Dionysia had a gun, its just out of ammo.

IC: This was going no where for Ark. And while one person was saying that they should stop, it didn't seem like anyone was listening.

Ark was about to start making his case again, but seeing a vykker near him get out a gun, Ark decided it was time to leave the room.

The vykker pulled the trigger and Ark thought, 'Why me?' as he dived into a roll, just making it out of the line of fire.

Getting out of his roll he started for the exit. Upon looking up, he saw the mudokon that had thrown his gun, blocking the exit. 'Damn, well I hope I slip past her before she know what I'm doing.' He thought knowing he wouldn't have time to pick up his gun.

Facing her as he come running up and said, "Take better care of my gun." then tried to slip around her.

"It's only two of a kind." he said to her over his shoulder.

OOC: Ark is close enough that Dionysia could still grab him.

EDIT: ooc: I just reworded a few thing to make them more accurate (thanks for pointing that out splat).

OddYouko 05-20-2008 04:37 PM

OOC: Are they all fighting in the Cafeteria?
IC: Phats finally stopped running though he was still whimpering like a little Sloggie. He had no idea where he was so he sat down and began barking loudly for his master. Hearing his pet's cries Corky ran up besides him. "What..the..heck..were..you thinking?!" He stopped to catch his breath. Phats stopped barking and went up to Corky snuzzling him happily but Corky just pulled away. Trying to get his master's attention the fat Slog then licked Corky's arm. He loaded up his gun and hit Phats hard on the head with it. "You stupid Slog! Why do ya have to go running off like that?!" He stepped away from Phats while loading his gun again. The hurt Slog whimpered and set back down on the floor. A large bruse was no visable on Phat's head. If anyone should try and hurt his Slog Corky wouldn't think twice about shooting them but he didn't care if he hurt Phats. Corky looked around for anyone. "Hello?!" He yelled through the halls loudly. Scratching his head he looked around somemore. "Where is this fire?" He started to get a little angry now. Phats stayed on the floor not whimpering he really didn't wanna get into anymore trouble. "There's supposed to be a fire around here?!" He yelled again. 'DaRn..where'd that other Slig go?' Confused and angry Corky fired his machine gun at the wall. The bullets were bouncing off the wall and onto the floor. There were no Mudokons to shoot at so he took his frustation all on the wall. Phats started barking loudly again. "If ya don't shut up I'll take my anger out on you instead!! Now SHUT UP!!" He yelled at Phats while still shooting at the wall.
OOC: There I changed it. =)

Edit.

Splat 05-20-2008 04:58 PM

ooc: I think its improbable OddYouko.
Ark, Dionysia threw the gun away when Ark handed it to her in case it exploded or something. You never can tell with bees.

OOC: Thanks, I edited my post I bit. Just thought I point that out to those who already read it.

But where do bees come into this?

skillyaslig 05-21-2008 12:41 AM

OOC: Wow, everyone is getting cheesed off, eh?

IC:
Cylepso snarled in rage as the native threw himself out of the way, the bullets slamming harmlessly into the floor. The mudokon (Youknowwho) glared at her and shouted,
"What was that about? Wait... no, typical slig behaviour. Forget the last question. Instead, why would I try to do anything in a place full of gun carrying, trigger happy, sligs? Which you helpful emphasized."
“Oh yeah?!?” She roared back, “What the hell is with all that creepy damn magic stuff? You think I am stupid enough to let glowing mudokons wander around every which-a-way?!”
The female glanced over at the female Grubb, who looked quite enthusiastic about the aggression, but then a Intern, which had surprisingly un-stiched mouth, spoke,
"Hey, people," It said, crossing its thin arms. "Chill. We don't need to be shredding each other over something as erratic as a glowing mudokon, no offence." It shrugged. "But if you plan on ganging up on that coal-colored brat over there, you have my total support."
“Really?” Cylepso snapped, “Its not like that ‘brat’ has any glowing native tattoos now, does it? What do you think I should do, let it roam around-”
"Are you crazy?" The black-skinned mudokon suddenly hissed at the intern, "If he's a native Odd knows what powers he has. You been living under a rock for 4 years?"
“My point exactly, or have you forgotten Abe?” Cylepso snarled, swinging her gun back up. She suddenly jerked violently as the Vykker (Kirk) fired off a Snuzi, aiming for the tattooed native (Ark) who sprang out of the way.
“Sir!” Cylepso called to him, “Orders?!?”

OOC: I know Cylepso is acting a bit out-of-character (no pun intended) but that’s because she has gone ‘guard’ mode, because she was trained as a slig, no matter how nice she is when relaxed. She is after all, a high ranking slig, so she must be pretty lethal when pissed-off. Though she does get a bit fruity when someone gives her nail-polish XD
Also, she is looking for orders from Kirk, because Vykkers are higher rank then sligs, right?

Out of Coffee: Hell no! I meant IM! D8

BIC:

"Are you crazy?" the obnoxious mudokon snapped, "If he's a native Odd knows what powers he has. You been living under a rock for 4 years?"

Skelter rounded on her. "Was I talking to you, mudokon pop?" She spat. "No! So shut yer mouth! And YOU," she poked the slig (Cylepso) roughly, "Mind yer own buisness! I don't need more freaks talking to me! And besides, i'm not scared of any Abe wanna-be's!"
To make a point, Skelter whipped out her gas launcher. She didn't plan on using it (she didn't even have her gas mask on,) but it looked dangerous anyway. She looked around. 'Where did that glowing freak go?

Splat 05-21-2008 03:11 PM

Dionysia was somewhat distracted by Skelter (who, Dionysia was later pleased to notice when she had time to go over things in her head, failed to notice or react to the mud rushing past her) and so failed to respond to the mud running in her direction until he had yelled something at her and run past. She dove to grab him as he ran through the door but missed him by an inch. Grabbing onto the doorframe to reasert her balance, she chased after him along the corridor...

Meanwhile, Krik was getting into things.
“Sir!” Cylepso called to him, “Orders?!?”
"Get after him!" He yelled madly, "Catch him! What'll happen to you if he attacks the boss?!"


ooc: Anni's waiting for Gretin. Jim's just waiting.

Come on Meech you have to put a little more then that. :nonono: READ the older pages of this thread and see how other poeple RP it will help you if you read their stuff.

OOC: Man, I just had some chocolate self-saucing pudding…It was good….*drools*
IC:
"Get after him!" The Vykker, Kirk shouted, "Catch him! What'll happen to you if he attacks the boss?!"
Hell, Cylepso knew full-well what would happen. Probably get shipped off to see dear old mum.
She thought idly, ‘Probably cooked me up in a pot and-’
“…And YOU," A voice snapped, followed by a thin finger poking Cylepso, "Mind yer own business! I don't need more freaks talking to me! And besides, I’m not scared of any Abe wanna-be's!"
Cylepso turned with an angry hiss to the Intern, who was armed with a Gas-Launcher.
“What do you think you are going to do with that?” Cylepso said scornfully, tugging at her gas mask, “Doubt you would do much! Now, outta the way!”
With that, the female slig yanked her gun up, jinxed past the Intern and lunged towards the cafeteria doors, her pants clanking heavily.

arkaznor 05-24-2008 03:30 AM

OOC: If any of you find my username difficult, just call me kaz.

IC: 'Dam it, dam it, dam it.' Ark thought as he glided down the hall. His two month in a swamp gave him the habit of drag/gliding his feet when he ran, it worked on smooth metal surprisingly well.

Looking down the corridor, as he turned a corner, he saw that only a slig (Cylepso) and the female mudokon (Dionysia) were coming from the cafeteria.

'At least it's only a paranoid mudokon, and a dumb slig. Wait is that a female slig? What is with this place? But never mind that now. What I want to know is why, when ever I try to talk to the boss, I end up in situations like these. I blame Teo, dumb shaman.'

Seeing the Mudokon being within pouncing distance, Ark struggled to run faster.

'How is she so fast?'

OOC: sorry for the short post. I was wondering if it was ok that Ark used his tattoos? All they let him do is create a blinding flash, so any character in the area would be seeing spots for a few seconds.

Munch's Master 05-24-2008 04:41 AM

OOC: Attack of The Update For Munch's Master, Part 946.
Once again, I'm asking what's happened here. Anybody?

Splat 05-25-2008 08:32 AM

ooc: MM, you live!

AGAIN!!!

Great to see you back dude! Patrick Vykkers left a little while after you slipped into the Time Vortex and Slaveless recently quit due to waning interest, so we were left without medics! Since Zerox (who is still around somewhere, maybe down the back of the sofa) decided to drop Sturg (the meech), we decided Dek and Prae had covertly left Rupture Farms to persue their meech-cloning dreams. Why Dek comes back is up to you.

As for the factory, not much has happened. Sure, a machine in the production lines is on fire and a mud has been mistaken for a native and is now being chased across the ground floor, but nothing exciting's going on. *recalls improbable train crashing through cafeteria wall* The RPG is just peeling out of the mess it suffered from in W@RF 7. Also, Jim's sitting in the lab waiting for a medic, so chip-chop mate.


MEECHSHRYKUL: read the rules or get out.
(moderating is so difficult sometimes *sigh*)

Munch's Master 05-25-2008 08:53 AM

OOC: I suppose we could just say the coloning was a failure, so Dek decided to come back to his steady job.
As for Arthur, let's just say he did what he does best- slept right through it.
arkaznor's going to give me a detailed update in a couple of days, so I think I'll resume here after that, just so I know where everything stands.

arkaznor 05-27-2008 05:04 AM

Welcome back (Munch's Master), especially since you told us that you would be here for this version, and than you just disappeared, gone, nothing. But seriously, you/ your characters will be welcomed.

I'm still waiting on Splat and Skillyaslig, as well as permission to turn Ark into an overpower lamp.

Splat 05-27-2008 05:13 AM

ooc: Well Dek's only been gone a day :p
Maybe he and Prae had an argument and they decided that Prae would go and organise things himself (renting equipment and a building and so on) while Dek does some research in Rupture Farms while also keeping thier plans secret by not acting suspiciously or something.

Ark, yes you may blind us all temporarily.

As for IC...
Dionysia chased Ark down a corridor...

Zerox 05-27-2008 07:05 AM

OOC: WTF happened to Zozo? Silph kinda can't do alot...
Hope no one minds me getting rid of the fire at least.

IC: Slash, after much searching, managed to feel out a fire extinguisher, containing foam, which would be harmless to the mechanics. He sprayed it upon the fire liberally, until it was all out. The room was still full of smoke, which was in itself a health hazard. Hopefully the ventilation system would clear it later of its own accord. For now, it seemed to have been stopped. He backed out the room so he could breathe properly. He went outside for some fresh air.

arkaznor 05-27-2008 07:34 AM

OOC: Right.

IC: Ark, used most of his energy to sprint to the end of the corridor. He could turn right, then left and try to hide in the production lines, 'But I don't think I can out run them for that long'.

Deciding to take a gamble, with his tattoos, he turned around to face his pursuers. He had about 10 seconds (tops) before the mudokon caught up to him.

Taking a deep breath, Ark took up a stance in a T-like shape. Chanting under his breath, his tattoos started pulsating and an arc of energy passed over his head from his hands.

Ark brought his hands together, and in the moment that his hands made contact with each other, his tattoos spread through out his entire body; causing a blinding flash. The mudokon was within an arms reach of him.

Sidestepping Dionysia, whose forward momentum carried her to his position, he spat, "That's what these tattoos can do." Then taking advantage of the new opportunity, he ran past the slig, and turned left at the end of the corridor.

OOC: Are there pipes above Ark, that he could host himself up on to?

Munch's Master 05-27-2008 07:44 AM

OOC: All I need to know now is where everybody is in the factory, specifically the Cafeteria and Dek's Lab, as if I'm going to reintroduce Dek I need to know who's in his Lab at the same time. By the way, I'm aware I mistyped cloning as 'coloning' in the previous post but I left it cause it made it a Freudian Slip.
IC:
Arthur jolted awake in the Rest Room.
"Bleh. Too early."
He shuffled up, pulling on his pants and walked out into the corridor, in time to see Dionysia, chasing a purple-skinned mudokon.
"That Dionysia sure is strange. Heh, that's what yer get fer being an experiment."
He ambled off towards the cafeteria, his mind firmly set on food.

Splat 05-27-2008 10:07 AM

ooc: The lab contains only Jim.
As for the cafeteria, at the moment it contains Krik and Moosh's three chracters (two grubbs, one of which is tied up on the floor, and an irritable intern). it possibly also contains some of Zozo's chracters but as she's currently inactive they can be overlooked, and maybe some of Zerox's characters.

Zerox, you can move away from Zozo since she's been gone for a long time.

MM, didn't Dionysia slap Arthur off of his feet once? :p Also, Dionysia is on the ground floor.

As for pipes, there can be if you want, though maybe not too many :p There may even be some gaps high up in walls if you really want, slipping between rooms. Rupture Farms as it is was pretty much banged together as quickly as possible before Arnie and co. moved in.

IC:
Dionysia could not be insulted for faltering in her pace slightly as the mud turned round and began glowing again, but she regained herself after half a second and kept running towards him with the determination of someone who exists for a single purpose. She was nothing if not bold.

The sudden flash caught her completely by surprise however, and she stumbled against a wall, her hand shielding her eyes. The mud hissed something at her and ran past. She made a grab for him and caught him with one arm but he slipped from her grasp and she heard him pounding away down the corridor. She dropped to the floor in case the slig started shooting blind, and rubbed at her eyes, blinking and cursing. She could barely see a thing.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Krik grinned (somewhat unpleasantly) as the slig (whose name he still didn't know) ran out of the cafeteria after the mud and Dionysia. If Dion didn't catch it then the slig would probably shoot it. There was no point in taking savages alive.

Sinking back into his chair (he wasn't used to all this excitement, it had to be said) he cast his eyes around the cafeteria and for the first time he noticed the somewhat ostentatiously dressed and, worse still, un-lip-stitched intern in the room (Skelter). He gave it a disdainful look. Krik was the sort of person who didn't seem to believe that interns actually had names or personalities, preferring to refer to them with such labels as 'Mute' or 'Oi, you!'


ooc: Now waiting for Gretin for Anni.

OddYouko 05-27-2008 11:28 AM

IC: Corky was getting a little tired of shooting the wall so he stopped fireing for a moment. He loaded his gun again but didn't shoot instead he backed away from the wall and away from Phats. He still had no idea where this fire was or the Slig that ran out of the Cafeteria. He growled a bit then looked over as he heard some foot steps coming this way. A purple Mudokon with glowing tattos came running down the corridor. "Hey you!" Corky yelled to the Mud. Maybe he knew what was going on? Phats growled but then got quiet. He didn't want to get hit on the head again. He moved by the way and whimpered because of his hurting head.
OOC: Roy's waiting on Dripik. :)

Moosh da Outlaw 05-27-2008 02:29 PM

Out of Coffee: Forgive my anti-Meech outburst, please. :C

BIC:

Skelter looked around, frowning. Everybody she had been messing with was gone, and they'd taken all the exitement with them. She frowned. 'Odd, what a drag.'
Yawning broadly, she wandered deeper into the cafeteria. She was in no hurry; surely, if whoever owned the place was willing to hire such wierdos, she'd have no problem getting in.

Skelter turned slowly, and spotted a vykker (Krik) glaring at her critically.

"What do you want?" She spat, crossing her arms.

---

Mola picked himself up off of the floor, sniffling. He'd stopped crying, but tears still streaked his face, leaving dark marks as thick as tire tracks. Ophelia jerked the leather belt that was holding Mola's hands together.

"Come on," She cooed, leading him along. Mola followed obediantly, still sniffling. The pair left the cafeteria and wandered down the halls, their feet gently patting the floor. Mola looked around with his wide blue eyes, making sure to stick to the center of the hall; the walls were absolutely filthy.
'Who owns this place?' He wondered, fantisizing about what the place would be like if he owned it. It would be green. And have lazers. He smiled through his mouth gag.

Gretin 05-28-2008 01:39 AM

OOC: Ha, bet you thought I was gonna vanish for months again XD You're not getting rid of me that easy. Welcome back Munch's Master's Master.

:

Probably should have mentioned it sooner but since she got shot yesterday she probably has a bandage round her chest and another on her arm. :p You can forget it if you want; I'm a bit late mentioning it really.

If I remember correctly Hembar did actually notice it when she first spoke to Anni out in the garden. But I'm far too lazy to actually have a look and see.

IC:

Anni: "Is that why you came here, cus you heard the stories? You looked surprised when I said earlier that the sligs here were sometimes nice!"

Hembar shook her head, "No, I'm afraid not. I'm not really in a position to take up this kind of job, I'm only allowed to do that if it'll help what I'm supposed to be doing. But there are many mudokons who are in the position to work like this, so having a place like this... It's really good.
"And yes, I was a little surprised, because rumours tend to exaggerate things way out of proportion and you did say earlier about nasty sligs."

"In a way I sort of envy you guys, though... I've never had a chance to live like that. I know, mostly it's a slave's life and not terribly pleasant, but sometimes there's places that are ok, like this one seems to be now, and it's just so... carefree, I suppose. Trust me, sometimes being a native isn't all it's cracked up to be!"
She grinned, then she suddenly noticed something white on one of Anni's hands.
"What's that?" she asked.

<•-•-•-•-•>

Ralph stopped talking to RG suddenly, as he saw a flash of light around the corner (I'm guessing that Ark and everyone weren't in the same part of the corridor as Ralph and RG, but in theory they would still see the light around the corner).
"Excuse me," he walked off away from the robot, and as he rounded the corner he just caught sight of a strangely coloured mudokon (Ark, but look who's talking :p) running around the next corner.
He saw a black mudokon (Dionysia, he'd seen her earlier but didn't know any more about her now than he did then) down on the floor, cursing and rubbing her eyes and also a slig (Cylepso) coming the other way.
Quickly taking in the situation, he took off after the fleeing mudokon.

arkaznor 05-28-2008 02:05 AM

OOC: Now even more people are chasing Ark :D.

IC: Ark heard some one yell after him. Ark, being someone who always replied (even if the person is not talking to him), yelled, "Can't talk right now! Running for my life!"

Taking a sharp right, Ark dove into a large room (Product Warehouse). Looking around he saw a semi-large low pipe, near a group of more pipes, near the wall in the shadows.

'Perfect!', he thought as he run, jumped, and grabbed onto the pipe. Swinging, he was able to hook his legs onto the group of pipes, right before the one he was holding broke. His unexpected momentum nearly caused him to fall, but he was able to use it to help him climb up on to the pipes.

He quickly looked at the broken pipe line, as soon as he could. 'Why does it even exist?' Ark thought as he found the pipe; no gushing air, no liquid pouring out, not even electrical wires were in it. Just a hollow pipe.

Still holding the broken pipe, he snapped out of his puzzlement, and tried to balance his weight on the few pipes. Getting nestled into the shadows, he waited, having a view of outside the room into the corridor. His tattoos had stop glowing completely, making him blend into the dark.

Cylepso yelped as the Mudokon (lol, lamp boy) glowed brightly. The harsh light stabbed through her eye pieces, causing her to cry out, as she was half-blinded. The eye pieces prevented the worst of the light, but bright spots danced in her vision, causing her to become disorianted. Sqwarking angrily, she flaied about until she gripped the wall. Groping, she found the door frame, barking, "What the ruddy hell...?"

OOC: What is Jim doing in the Lab, Splat? I'd also forgotten I controlled Dean. If T-Nex is still RPing, she can have him back.
IC:
Arthur walked into the cafeteria, watching 2 strange short things run past (OOC:He has never seen a grubb before). He saw Krik and a intern that he didn't recognise, and they seemed to be arguing. Arthur butted in.
"Uh, where's the food guy? Isn't he called Dean or something. He then looked at the Intern "And who are you?"

IC: Hearing the Mud Ark's reply made Corky even more angry. He held his gun tight and growled. "Hey! Wait!" He cursed and ran after the Mudokon hoping he could tell him anything. Phats barked and followed his master quickly. They both ran down the corridor and stopped by the Product Warehouse. Corky looked around ready to shoot off his gun at any moment. "I just wanna talk to ya Mud!" He tried to get Ark out of his hiding place. Corky scanned the area and noticed the room Ark was hiding in but he didn't bother going in. He then looked at Phats and ordered him to "Get'm!" Phats barked loudly then headed in the large room. Corky wasn't sure he had hid in there so he got his Slog to search. Corky searched away from the Product Warehouse and looked around the halls. Phats yelp as he hit his brused head on a low pipe but still searched like his master ordered. He sniffed and drooled but still couldn't find Ark.

The robot hopped off the top of the train and landed without failure as it had calculated. The robot had quickly learned that it wasn't even an outsider in these parts. It was a machine. One that had to belong to someone. Digit had never before considered what it would be like to be fought over like he was some cheap can opener... it was degrading. A few sparks flew from the RH Unit's left hand returning his processing mind to the current moment. His wrist energy blaster was destroyed... the robot wouldn't be shooting anyone today. Digit slowly walked into the industrial building. Rumor had it that Mudokons were treated somewhat fairly here... perhaps Digit could get some help as well.

OOC: Did a post, stupid thing didn't copy and paste...Yeah, maybe later.

Venks, you kinda just...Make a character and leave it. Like me. Someone shoot me now.

IC
Agent began to let her mind slip under the luskan's grip. The anaesthetic from the operation had given her an alergic reaction, messing up her memory until such time it faded from her system. The cafeteria was springing into chaos. -
(Laaaater, I hate this stupid copy paste thing and want to kill it)

OoC @ Zozo: I've found it much easier to just roleplay one character. I had abandoned my old ones because no one posted in W@RF. I'll miss Doe.

IC: Slash pushed open the front door and flew up into the air. He hovered stationary, and stretched his arms out, then rested on the roof to get some breath and fresh air.

The Slig Silph was clasping seemed to have calmed down. Noticing a large amount of commotion around one Mudokon, he lowered the Slig down, and decided to investigate. He noticed a flash of light, with an odd hue to it, so not an electrical fault or grenade. It seemed to have been caused by a Mudokon, the centre of the chase. He heard it's footsteps head for the product warehouse. The cafeteria was right next door, so it was simple to get to it. He went through the kitchen, past his hanging Paramite and into the product warehouse. A Slig and a Slog were already in there. He noticed a broken pipe hanging from the ceiling, so the Mudokon may be up there. Silph leant against the wall to watch.

ooc: Venks, please edit the profile of your new character into your first post as him in this thread [rant/]

MM, Jim was just in the room where the fire was, and is having difficulty breathing. He went to the lab looking for a medic and is now sitting on the table waiting for one to show up. I have to say you came back to the forums just at the right time for him :p
Also, I hope now Dek might recall the oddity he discovered in Anni :p Since he's alone now he'll have to face the dilema alone.

IC:
Anni fell silent at that comment, 'being a native isn't all it's cracked up to be'...
She'd always seen it as an idillic alternative. Sure, it'd involve a lot more work, but it was work for good, work they did because they chose to, not because they were told to. But of course, even the natives were in danger from glukkons, and Abe's attacks on the Cartel couldn't be helping the situation for them, even if it was helping the slaves. But at least they were free!

Hembar's question broke her reverie, "Huh?"
She looked down at her hand and saw the white mark clarly emblazoned there looking bigger than it had last time she had noticed it. But when the handscars had appeared before her hand had itched, and this time she'd felt nothing strange. Thinking fast, she turned over her other hand so the other mudokon wouldn't notice the black mark (if it had appeared too; Anni didn't stop and check) and quickly lowered the white-marked hand, hoping Hembar hadn't looked too closely.
"Oh, it's nothing. Spilt some paint on myself and I just sort of doodled in it. Guess I should wash it off." She grinned up at the other mudokon.

Dionysia was aware of a lot of running feet and running sligs' pants, and even a slog barking. Still blinded, she groped her way to the wall and stumbled back towards the cafeteria.
The image of then mud glowing like the sun was brozen in her vision, but as she staggered back she began to faintly see the corridor moving through that image. After that her sight rapidly returned, more or less, and she looked around. The corridor was empty apart from that freak-girl-slig that had followed her from the cafeteria.
She could hear noises from the warehouse however, so she stumbled over to the slig, grabbed her by the arm and told her, "Come on, I think he's run through there." Hopefully the slig's eyes should be recovering too.

ooc: I'll finish the IC after this ooc: I looked up flash-grenades and discovered that their blinding effects only last about 5 seconds, so I thought it would be reasonable to assume that our girls (:p) should have recovered by now, particularly since Cylepso's eyes were protected partially by her mask.

Gretin, feel free to have Hembar notice the hand-scar for what it is, and maybe read some meaning into it. If you want to add anything specific could you PM me with your ideas first, so I can ensure it matches with my plans? :fuzwink:

IC:
Krik granted the intern an 'I'm only paying you enough attention to be unimpressed' expression and answered, "Haven't you any work to be getting on with? I believe the medical and scientific facilities in this building are on the floor above. That's where I'd expect you to find the laborotory staff as well."

ooc: Good luck Dek!

skillyaslig 05-29-2008 10:23 PM

OOC: Yeah, the mask has protected Cylepso's pretty purple eyes XD
IC:
Cylepso shook her head, already the spots where fading from her vision. Silently thanking the Vykkers for the (ibet not so great) mask, she struggled to straighten.
The female slig gave a jerk as she felt a strong arm grip hers, and a harsh voice say,
"Come on, I think he's run through there."
Cylepso glanced, and saw the strange dark coloured Mudokon from before.
Huh, quite a few weird things happening around here....Cylepso thought idily.
Arupty she straighted and said, "Yep, if we catch him now, it should minimise the damage the native can cause...." She stumbled forward, shaking her head to clear the last bits of the haze.
