((ooc: Ack! sorry i've been gone so long... missed y'all!))
=============BIC:===============

Jayne: *hears Jammer shouting, but doesn't look back as she continues to run*
Thoughts: "Just a little further...these fences are further than they look!"

*a paramite falls dead just behind her, being shot*

Jayne: *glances back at the loud howl, and screams to see the blood, but keeps running*
Thoughts: "We can't stop now...we've come too far!"

~'~'~'~'~'~'~

Vince: I'll protect you sir--as best I can. But we need to go! Soon there will be nothing left!

~'~'~'~'~'~'~

Smudge: *finally stands up, his frontside all covered in mud*
Thoughts: At least the other sligs are still thinking straight! I gotta get a gun...this baton is useless over any distance...

*Smudge runs back to the factory to get a spare gun*

~'~'~'~'~'~'~

Adrian: *runs outside, away from Halije and starts chasing a paramite* Rrraffrrurraffrruffruff!! *barks and snaps at the paramite...the paramite stops to fight, seeing that Adrian is smaller than him*

Adrian: Rrruff Rrruff Rrraff!! *the paramite bites Adrian's side* Arrrruuu!! *Adrian rolls over, bleeding...the paramite resumes running toward the fenceline*

~'~'~'~'~'~'~

Correl: *stretches and stands up* Hmm...seems like it should be about time for lunch, doesn't it? Maybe we should head to the cafetria...

Seargentbig 08-11-2003 09:29 AM

HSH: Thoughts: 'Well, of cource we can't go back. What's the point? We die in their factory if we turn back. We escape or die trying!'
*Thinks hard for a moment, trying to think how to translate this, and give up with most of it*
" Yeth. No turn back."

Exalmex: *Runs ahead*

HSH: " We can't scale that fence, it'd take too long! "

Exalmex: "Then I'll cut it open! "

______________________________________

Halije: *Hears Adrian bark at the paramite, and turns around*
"Argh! Stupid sun!"
*Sees Adrian bleeding *
" Ahh! Blood! "
*Stares at Adrian's fresh wounds, and then jumps over to him*
" WaddoIdowaddoIdowaddoIdo? "

Reiji Neko Mitsukai 08-11-2003 02:54 PM

Xene: Well then hurry up! We're almost there!

tybie_odd 08-12-2003 05:49 AM

Jayne: *reaches the fence and stops, trying to think how to get all of them over* ....Oh....what now!?

`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`

Smudge: *comes running back out of factory with a gun and joins #7 Slig* Alright! Let's make some pies! *starts rapid-firing at all the animals*

Seargentbig 08-12-2003 08:06 AM

Exalmex: * Gets to the fence and glows red, a shade Scrab appears *
Thoughts: 'I cant wait until I can sleep peacefully.'

Shade Scrab: *Howls and shreads the fence. It doesn't take long for a large hole to appear, at which point the shade returns to Exalmex*

Exalmex: " Run through the hole! "
Thoughts: 'Attack thoes who are shooting at us'

*Shade Scrab turns towards the general direction of Smudge and #7 slig, howls, and starts running*

Reiji Neko Mitsukai 08-13-2003 01:19 AM

Xene: *stand by the edge of the hole, holding back some of the wires for the other paramites to get though* Keep running! We're almost out! Go! Go! Go!

dripik 08-14-2003 04:24 PM

Arnie: "OK, er... Vince. If you need some weaponry, go to the storage. Otto and I will wait for you in the main hall, next to the Stockyards gate. Otto?"

*turns to Otto and sees that he's eating a Scrab Leg from the plate*

Arnie: "Cut that out! That's disgusting!"

Otto: "But #7 Slig is not here! I can only eat this way."

Arnie: "You need not to eat all day! That's enough for breakfast. Let's go."

Native Poser 08-14-2003 09:03 PM

((OCC: Woah! Alot has happened since my last visit! I'll have to try and make this short--dont have much time. Sorry I havent been around much..Its hard for me to gain acess (sp?) to a computer now adays. By the way, good to see you again Muse! Wasn't the same around here without ya))

Tattoo: *nods* Alright...

~~~~~~~~

Vick: *Shakes his head & mutters a curse under his breath* What the h#lls going on here?

dripik 08-17-2003 10:04 AM

ooc: welcome back, Native Poser!


Arnie: "I wonder if those Paramites can still be processed?"

Otto: "I don't think so. They are full of bullets and stuff."

Arnie: "But we can get those bullets out of them, can't we?"

Otto: "How? With a magnet?"

Arnie: "I don't know."

tybie_odd 08-19-2003 06:22 PM

((ooc: Hey! Good to see ya Native! ^-^))
=====================BIC:===================

Correl: This way... *leads Tattoo out of the production lines and down the main hall towards the cafeteria...but on the way there he sees Arnie and Otto*

Correl: Boss! Where's your slig? Isn't it about lunch time?

*Vince comes back from the storage room with a gun*

Vince: I'm ready sir! *sees Correl and Tattoo, looks confused* What are you guys doing here? Are you coming outside with us?

Correl: What?...What's happening outside?

Vince: Eh...no time to explain. I've got to go though. *opens the door for Arnie and Otto* You two go ahead and then I'll come out and you can walk behind me.

Correl's Thoughts: Why are the glukkons letting Vince carry a gun? What the heck's going on here?

*Vince follows Arnie and Otto out and shuts the door*

Correl: *to Tattoo* Something's wrong...we mudokons aren't normally allowed to have guns...and the boss and his assistant don't have their sligs with them! Something very strange is happening....I think we'd better check it out. C'mon, let's use the other exit so they won't see us. I have a feeling a big change might be coming...I'm just not sure what it would be yet. *leads Tattoo towards a different exit on the side of the factory*

`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`

Jayne's Thoughts: They did it...it's working...it's gonna work!

`'`'`'`'

Smudge: *sees a strange-looking thing in his view-finder and shoots at it...but the bullets don't seem to hurt it* ...What?... *looks up from his view-finder to see the Shade Scrab bolting towards him* --What the--? Ghost Scrab! LOOK OUT! *grabs #7 Slig's arm and starts running in the opposite direction*

`'`'`'`'

Vince: *steps in front of the two glukkons* Okay, stay behind me, and look out! *grips his gun uneasily, not being used to it....then starts leading them cautiously through the mess, stepping over paramite bodies and walking on bullet shells*

`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`

Adrian: *whines and starts licking a gash in his side*

dripik 08-20-2003 04:08 PM

*#7 Slig following Smudge*

#7 Slig: "Hey, what the... What are you doing?"

*looks back and sees the ghost-Scrab*

#7 Slig: "Oh, that makes it sense. OK, here's what we'll do. I'll jump behind a rock while you're running. When the Scrab passes the rock and continues following you, I'll shoot him. But, first, you have to do something. Let go my arm!




Arnie: "OK, Vince. We will cover you."

Otto: "Yeah, effective like a dead slurg. We can't fight, you know."

Arnie: "Stop annoying me! We'll do what we can. Oh, two more Mudokons. Hello there. You could help too."

The Red Muse 08-20-2003 04:15 PM

RM: Oh...my..*stares wide-eyed at the ghostly scrab*

Jammer: It's time we split, c'mon Muse!

RM: ...I can't...

Jammer: Whaaat!? Whaddaya mean you can't?!

RM: ...I can't move...!!!

Jammer: Oh bloody hell... *quickly glares at the scrab, which is now only few feets away from RM*..Oooh HELL!


*Jammer drops his gun and rushes to RM and is able to yank him away from the menacing creature before it reached the paralyzed slig*

Jammer: *picks RM up to his shoulders* We leave now!

*starts running away from the animals, towards the gates*

RM: No, wait! Jammer--PUT ME DOWN!!! I can't leave Jayne here!! She might..---

Jammer: --Yeah, yeah, I know the drill-- look Weed-boy, she's gonna be fine! Trust me-- I can sense these things!

RM: But--!

Jammer:--Will you just shut up??!! I tell ya, you talk way too much...

RM--But---!!!

Jammer: Shut up, Muse! Jayne's gonna be fine! Hey-- why don't ya make yourself useful and see if the scrab's following us!

RM: ......

Jammer: WELL?!

RM: ...I..-- I can't tell...

Jammer: ...great...
[::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::]

Ammy: Oh... I just can't work if Adrian is not with me.... *tosses her mop to the floor* --I'm gonna go find him!

*Ammy starts the search for her little puppy...*

GrigtheSlig 08-22-2003 12:02 AM

Grig wakes up in a darkly lit room, though he is very comfortable. It apears as though he was lying in a bed.

Grig's thoughts:
{Hey, what am I doing here? Where am I?}

Grig tries to talk, and finally can!

Grig: Hey, where am I?

Scrach: Hey, you talked! I was so lonley in here all by myself, ya know? Oh yeah, I don't know, i've never been here before?

Just then a slig walks through the door...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hey slogster, I don't mind my characters being healed, in fact, I was counting on you doing so! That slig that walks though the door is you if ya don't mind!

Seargentbig 08-22-2003 10:32 AM

Exalmex: *Sees the shade scrab chase Jammer and RM*
Thoughts: 'Oh, no, it's getting side tracked... Stop! Only chase anyone shooting at the paramites! '

Shade Scrab: *Stops and looks around*

--------------

HSH: *Walks up to Jayne and thinks for a moment, before talking*
"Thhank you"

---------------

Halije: *Looks at Adrian*
Thoughts: 'Oh, he looks ok... I hope he is...'
'hang on, you hope he is?'

slogster 08-22-2003 02:31 PM

GrigtheSlig 08-22-2003 09:15 PM

Grig: Hey thanx! So, what do you guys go here?

Scrach: Aren't you slig security? Am I in trouble?!? I didn't do it!

Reiji Neko Mitsukai 08-24-2003 01:00 AM

Xene: *Walks over to HSH* So, do you think we're safe now?

Seargentbig 08-24-2003 05:33 AM

HSH: "With Exalmex's shade scrab fending off anyone who shoots, probably. But we would be much safer outside the factory "

Exalmex: *Walks up to Xene and HSH*
" Are you two still here? You should get out. Almost everyone who is still alive have. "

HSH: "Aren't you leaving? "

Exalmex: "Yes, but I need to make sure that everyone else has. "

HSH : "Ok. (Shouting) Everyone who hasn't left, do so now! (Normaly) Right then, we leave the immediate perimiter, then we decide where to go from there. Hup! "
* Runs towards the fence *

Exalmex: *Looks at Xene*
" You heard him. Hup! "

dripik 08-24-2003 01:43 PM

ooc: OK, I'm back.


#7 Slig: "Oh, that shade-Scrab has stopped. Maybe he thinks that we are harmless now and fleeing."



Arnie: "Hey, there's #7 Slig... And there's Jammer... Every Slig is there. Let's go to them."

Dave 08-24-2003 07:20 PM

fresh recruit
 
ferget it i'm out...
good luck

Reiji Neko Mitsukai 08-24-2003 07:35 PM

Xene: *growls, then mumbles to herself* I'll show you 'hup'... *but runs through the fence anyway*

((ooc: Hey dripik, I put up another character profile in the "Hear ye, hear ye" thread. Do you think it would be okay for me to put her in now?))

Seargentbig 08-26-2003 10:33 AM

Exalmex: *Looks at the free-fire zone and stockyards, surveying the results*
Thoughts: 'Good. It looks like just about everyone has left. Everyone who can, anyway. Oh, Odd, I cant wait until I can next go to sleep.'
*Glows green, a few shade paramites appear*
Thoughts: 'Paramites: get any survivers and take them to the rest of the group. Scrab: Protect them.'
'Uh, I'm prety defenceless out here, with all the people with guns. I should leave.'
* Turns and walks through the fence *

dripik 08-28-2003 08:53 AM

ooc: sure, RNM, put her in the RPG. Your character sounds interesting.


*#7 Slig spots Vince, Correl, Tattoo, and the Glukkons*

#7 Slig: "Boss! Is everyone alright?"

Otto: "We're OK, #7 Slig."

#7 Slig: "OK then. It's a disaster, boss. Every Paramite is leaving Stockyards. We shot some of them, but many has survived and escaped through the fence."

Arnie: "Well, we can't do anything else. Go find the employees. Where's Jammer and RM?"

#7 Slig: "Well, I saw Jammer running from a shade Scrab, carrying RM."

Arnie: "OK, find them too."

Reiji Neko Mitsukai 08-28-2003 10:27 AM

((ooc: Yay! :fuzgrin: Thank you!))

Xene: *Is about to follow the rest of the paramites, when she hears soft sobbing coming from behind a rock. She quietly walks around to see a very young female paramite, barely older than a toddler. She speaks to the child with a soft voice, contrasting with her regular gruff manner.* Hey.

*the child is startled for a moment, then sees Xene and calms down.*

Xene:What's your name?

Mina: Mina.

Xene: *takes a few steps closer* Where are your parents? You're awfully young to be out on your own.

Mina: *sniffles* Daddy was hit... with something. He fell down and didn't get up. *sniffles* Then mommy got hit, but she told me to follow you guys, and then she ran towards the yellow things. *sniffles* The yellow things hit her with the things that make really loud noises, and she fell down too. *Sniffles again, then begins sobbing again*

Xene: thoughts: This poor girl... she doen't have anyone left. Just like me. *feels a soft spot growing in her heart for the kid*

Hey, *walks over to Mina* You don't have to cry anymore. I lost two people close to me too. You can stay with me. I'll make sure nothing hurts you, okay?

Mina: *sniffles* Okay.

The Red Muse 08-29-2003 01:43 PM

RM: Jammer! The scrab stopped! Will you now please put me down? This is embarrassing...

Jammer: That's nice to hear.

RM: What's nice to hear?! That I'm embarrassed?!

Jammer: I was talking about the scrab. I didn't hear you say anything about being embarrassed.

RM: You didn't hear, or didn't listen?

Jammer: Pick one.

RM: *mumbles*

Jammer: Whatcha say? *stops suddenly* Sh*t! Muse, check it, the boss' at the gates. 7# Slug is there too... they're talkin'... Whaddaya say if we hide over there-- *points at a small hole between two rocks* --and wait till the boss leaves, eh?

RM: *gives Jammer a questioning look* ...Why should we do that?

Jammer: I dunno, I just have this feelin'--

RM: What feeling?! Look, this is getting crazy... What about if you let me do the thinking...

Jammer:... sure... just don't blame me when boss is flaming us.

RM: Huh!? *sniggers* Where do you come up with that stuff? Flame us? Why would he do that, it wasn't our fault that the animals were let loose. We didn't do it ,so, we don't get flamed. Simple.

Jammer: ...Jayne did...

RM: What?

Jammer: Jayne let those paramites loose.

RM:... *face goes blank* What?!?

Jammer: I saw her do it--...

RM:..--What?!!

Jammer:..--so I bet that, her future recidence will be between eggs and milk at the cooler--...

RM:...---WHAT??!!

Jammer: Now what are ya screamin' for?! You could raise the dead with that screaming, sheesh, calm down!

RM: I got to go to Jayne! I have to tell her--...

Jammer: ..--Yea, like how you plan to go past that scrab, huh? Crawl underneath it and hope it doesn't see you?! Face it Weed, ya can't do anything at the moment.

RM: But...

Jammer: Don't start that...

RM: But, but,but...!

Jammer: But nothing! We're going!

*walks to Arnie& co, still carrying RM*

Jammer: *to Arnie* We're okay boss. Right Muse?

RM:...Yeah-- fine...---Will you put me down now?

Jammer: Oh, yeah... sure! *puts RM down*

RM: ...Many thanks... *wipes dust off his shoulders*

[::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::]


Ammy: *is sitting in a shadowed corner, sniffing and crying loudly* I'm such a bad owner! *sniff* I lost my puppy-- and now he's *sob*--- GONE! I can't find him... Adrian! Where are you...?
...come back... *sniff* ...come back to me...

Reptile 08-30-2003 10:36 AM

ooc: Hey sorry for the long absence....I can still be in this right...whats going on so far *begins reading*

dripik 09-02-2003 10:46 AM

Arnie: "Ah, more Sligs have arrived, Jammer and... er... Red... uhm... Muse! You should go with #7 Slig to look for the workers in Stockyards."

Otto: "Your memory is not like it was earlier, is it, Arn?

Arnie: "Uhm, well... yes."

tybie_odd 09-06-2003 10:06 PM

((ooc: wow! lots of replies... sorry about my AWOL--college is getting busy again, so I'll be kinda short of time for a while. v.v ))
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::BIC::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Smudge: Look fer workers....okay, let's go! *shoulders his gun and follows #7 Slig*

Vince: *watches Jayne, squinting to see her over the distance*
Thoughts: What is she doing over there?

Correl: ...What shall we do, boss? *looks disheartenedly at the huge mess of blood and bullets surrounding them*
Thoughts: I'd hate to have to clean all this up....agh, I'm sure we'll have to sooner or later...

~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~

Jayne: Everybody's out? Everybody's okay?--Well, everybody who is alive is okay? *quickly glances around the ruined Free Fire Zone...now more than worthy of its name, being littered with bodies*
Thoughts: Nothing moving...they must've made it..... now, where do I go?

Jayne: *looks out through the twisted hole in the chainlink fence into the wild, unspoiled wilderness beyond*
Thoughts: Into nature...alone, unprepared, and hunted by the security no doubt... OR....

Jayne: *looks back towards the factory, still billowing out smoke and surrounded by the dead animals. She notices Arnie and Otto standing near one of the exits, very far away... then she sees #7 Slig & co. searching the Stockyards* .....
Thoughts: So familiar, so home-like...all the faces, just like family...the only family I have....would I leave them? Though there's no doubt that I will have to repay my crime....maybe, replace the meat I freed? No! No, that wouldn't happen! It couldn't...would it? What will it cost to stay here?

Jayne: *spots RM among the sligs*
Thoughts: What would it cost to leave! I can't leave! I can't leave him. I have to face my consequences.

*Jayne walks steadily towards the sligs' search party*

~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~

Adrian: *rolls around in the cool mud, trying to cover his wound and whining....then suddenly seems to hear something and gets up* Rrrroouuuuwwwww!!! *bolts off limping toward the factory as fast as he can (which is pretty slow right now) -- following the faint, faint sound of Ammy's voice, and following her smell*

dripik 09-10-2003 01:24 PM

*#7 Slig and co. finds Jayne*

#7 Slig: "Hey, here's a Mudokon... Jayne! You run pretty fast. Those Paramites didn't have a chance! Smudge and me helped you a bit, too... Red Muse, Jammer. Take her back to the boss. We will look for more workers. Jayne, got any idea where the others are?"

The Red Muse 09-14-2003 09:04 AM

RM: *to #7 slig* Sure... We'll take her... *takes Jayne's hand and whispers to her* My Odd Jayne! What were you thinking back there? You could've get yourself killed!

Jammer: *sniggers* I know someone who has a date with the meat grinder...

RM: *barks back to Jammer* Shut up!

Jammer: Oohh... touchy, touchy, touchy... Can it Weed, the girl's safe an' sound. C'mon, let's get her to the boss!

RM: Sure... *looks at Jayne* Don't worry Liebling, everything's gonna be okay. The boss is not mad at you--and I can assure you that he doesn't even know that it was you let the paramites loose...

Jammer:--Will you shut up Weed!? All that sweet-talk is making me sick... Let's just get her to the boss, aye? ....*raises eyebrow and grins* Or do I need to carry you both there?

RM: *casts a dull look at Jammer's direction*...No... thank you. *turns back to Jayne slowly leading her to Arnie*
Listen, Jayne--you trust me don't you? If you do, you can cast aside the fear, dearest. Arnie will understand you. He's a decent guy-- for a glukkon... *continues soothing Jayne*

Jammer: Oh man... How does she do it? How can she listen to that sweet-mumbo-jumbo without throwing up? *scratches the back of his head*... Must be one of 'em girl powers... chicks are probably resistant to sweet-talk or somethin'....

[:::::::::::::::::::::::::::]~o~[::::::::::::::::::::::::::::]

Ammy: *hears far-away howling* Huh?...*sniff*... A-Adrian...? *stands up* ...Adrian? ...ADRIAN!? Where are you boy!

*looks around nervously*

Ammy: (What if he's hurt!)...Adrian don't move! Mommy's coming!

*runs to the direction, where she thinks she hear the voice coming from*

Ammy: Adrian! Keep howling boy, so I can hear you! Don't worry, I'll find you!
