Wash pushed through the door, dragging Linc behind him.
"Medical emer-!" but the place was deserted. "What the hell?"
There was a gurney-like device nearby loaded with meat, and what looked suspiciously like a skinned slig. Hoping it was just a mutilated paramite, Wash swept everything on to the floor and lifted Linc up. It wasn't easy, but after the third time he managed to flop Linc's body onto the trolley. Now perhaps he could get somewhere!
But the blood had already soaked through the bandages, and Wash did not lke the way the blood flow had slowed. Dek's lab was on the next floor up, so Wash had to get Linc to the elevator. Odd help him if he encountered stairs. When he found out who was responible for that sound...
Sprinting along platforms and corridors, twice crashing at the corners, Wash and Linc finally reached the lifts. But the LCD screen above displayed a demoralising headline.
"WARNING! GAS LEAK AHEAD! DO NOT ATTEMPT ENTRY WITHOUT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION!

Wash stared at it for a moment. "Jedu sing hed! This is not my best day ever."

OOC: Yes, I'm still here and I check in every few hours. Though, I'm not going to be active in the next week, I'll be away.

Jordan, your grammar and RP-style seems OK, but you should put more detail on JB's entry. He just popped inside the factory. Can you edit your first post, then? Just as an idea, JB could have arrived with the train which brought the spice seeds for Anni.

Oh, and what do you mean on 'blue eyes'? Are you refering to the Slig vizors or the normal eyes? Just checking, since #7 Slig has green eyes, but I meant that on his vizors when I wrote his profile.

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

Otto was about to fall asleep when he heard a voice from outside. Someone was calling for Arnie. "Nice timing, pal." he thought crossly as he got out of his bed and sneaked out from the Ex. R+R, trying not to wake Arnie up.

He saw a new Slig sitting across the entry hall, next to the office door. "What are you doing here?" he said under his breath. "We are trying to sleep. Do you know what time it is? See the clock on the..." he said, but since he didn't see any clocks on the wall, he didn't finish his sentence. "Anyways, it's dark outside, surely you have noticed that."

He took his breath, and when he calmed down, he continued. "So, what do you want?" he asked JB curtly.

OOC: Sorry about that Dripik! I'm at Noob at this thing. JB's eyes are different from the other Slig's, I drew a pic of him on paper, I'll show it when I can.

IC: The door had finally opened after a while of waiting, and JB stood up and gulped. "Umm... hi, my name is JB, sir, and erm I've come for a job... are you the boss? You don't look like the Glukkon in this picture..." JB said nervously, shuffling his feet and wringing his hands. He looked up at Otto and did a weak smile.

OOC: You'll get the hang of it, don't worry.

I better reply now, so you don't have to wait until next week.

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

"No, the boss is sleeping now, so you better keep your voice down." said Otto under his breath. "I'm Otto, Assistant to the Boss and Flak Clerk of the factory. Any complaints shall be brought to me." he sighed. The thought of his new position, especially the latter, was still rather painful. "Well, we can use the workforce, though there are a lots of Sligs here, so we sometimes have to give them tasks which are usually done by Mudokons. If that's OK with you, you should come back tomorrow morning to introduce yourself to the boss. I think that's all... Night." he said and turned to the Executive R+R's door, when he remembered something. "Oh, the employees R+R is on the other side of the conference room on this level, next to the toilets." He went back to his bed and jumped in.

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

OOC: This can help a lot when you are looking for a room, Jordan: W@RF Map made by Splat

OOC:
Goresplatter these days, is often popping in and disappearing. I don't know where he goes though. He said he lost where he had left at, and now is giving his characters away. But I am in no mood to take his characters. Hopefully, someone could take his characters. Or we could say that the Knock out gas stopped most of their vital organs from working, and killed them. But that would put something on Slap's record.

IC: Kix looked around and figured that this was sort of like a bar and a workshop for both Sligs and Mudokons. But since she didn't know any good card games and didn't have anything else to do, she said, "Hey, can I help fixing this place up? I really don't have anything else to do."
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Slap nodded his head and went towards Vykker X's cage. He knew that he had figured out how to get out of his cage before, so he knew he could figure out himself.

Slap decided to take this in an easy approuch. First, he grabbed the keys on one of the counters, of the room Vykker X was in. Next, he looked at the keyhole of Vykker X's cage. Then, Slap had flicked through the keys, trying to find a key that would fit through the keyhole. Finally, he got down to two that would make sense. He put in the first one, but it got stuck inside. Obviously, it did not fit. After some struggling moments of trying to get the key out, he was successful. The other key went in fine, and Slap was able to get Vykker X out of the cage.

For his next move, Slap dragged Vykker X to the door of the Lab. He knew that it would be a bad idea if he opened the doors, so he left Vykker X there. He knew that it also wouldn't be the best idea, so he returned with the Air Tank he had on earlier. Slap wrapped it around Vykker X's face, on his nostrils and mouth. That should keep Vykker X alive.

Slap remembered what Arthur had said, and he typed to him, "Sir, your job is to activate the back-up ventilation system, which should be a group of machines put together. Where these systems are, they should be where all of the pipe seem to connect. And I do believe Sligs are cabable of speaking, so if you need any assistance, just say the word."

The word Sligs, reminded him of Goresplatter, and then he remembered something critical. Goresplatter wasn't wearing a mask. He rushed over to the unconscious body of Goresplatter. First, he grabbed a needle from his apron and poked it into Goresplatter's body. Afterwards, he placed his two fingers from his right hand, near Goresplatter's wrist. Finally, he pulled back his hand and his needle and looked at the blood he got.

Slap typed down to Dek what information he got from Goresplatter's body. "Sir, I have just checked Goresplatter's body, and he is also in a bad condition. His blood doesn't have enough oxygen and his pulse isn't normal. We need to Air Tanks, but as I searched, there is only one in this Lab. Their is possibly more in factory, but that would require one of us to leave the Lab. I suggest myself to leave, since no one else in a bad condition, and your job should be done in a moment. So you could tell what Arthur should do, while I do my other job."

JB nodded and slowly turned to go. He looked at his map of the factory and found his way to the R + R room. There were lots of beds around the room, and some were occupied by Mudokons and fellow Sligs. He found an empty bed and sat down on it. He yawned and lay down, he closed his eyes and went to sleep.

ooc: sorry about this Slaveless, and Munch's Master, but I brought this can of worms to your picnic, and by Odd I'm going to open it!

ic: Wash rested his face in his big green hands and cried. He was exhausted, so much had happened to him recently, and he needed to catch up. Unhelpfully, Linc was still dying, so he couldn't rest yet.
He glared at the LCD screen, as if this were all somehow its fault.
"ONLY ONE GRUESOME MEAT-GRINDER RELATED ACCIDENT ALL DAY! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!" it stated cheerfully.
Wash stood up and stamped his feet angrily. He was determined that a little poison gas would not stop him. He assumed the gas was poisonous. And he knew only one way to protect himself.
"Man... I'll never here the end of this...
Wash tore off the last scraps of his loincloth and urinated on them. Desperate times call for desperate measures. A passing security orb noticed him as it came by. Staring, it crashed into a wall, but couldn't take its eye off the bizarre scene unfolding before it. Wash still couldn't hear the crash, but he noticed the red glow of the orb's eye.
"Hey- get out of here!" he angrily waved it away. The last thing he needed was a recording of this to reach upper management, or indeed any of the employees. Luckily, the orb was still too confused to zap him, and floated away, beeping to itself excitedly.
Wash picked up the dripping rag and wringed out some of the urine into Linc's wound in an attempt to sterilise it. He the tore it in half and laid one over Linc's mouth. He'd heard somewhere that urine helped to filter poisonous gasses from the air. Wash then pushed Linc into the elevator and slammed his fist into the wall. A panel fell down, revealing a control panel, and he attempted to override the emergency lockdown commands. He described to Linc what he was doing, despite both being deaf and Linc being unconscious.
"Stay with me Linc... you don't become RFDD's most guarded employee without learning one or two things about the Magog Cartel's facilities network! Look at this, if I can reroute the command chain around the hazard detectors upstairs... I'll have to provide a phantom venting command, that'll make it think the air has been pumped outside... wait a minute- is that someone climbing into the air vent? That's crazy! The lab's air tanks are contaminated! Why is there anyone still there with the gas?" Then Wash realised that he'd been counting on there being someone up there to help Linc. "Right, never mind. But the connection to the ventilation controls is severed. Argh! This would be so much easier with a security spike, and- wha? We're in! Now to just... pure Palooka! We're in business!"
The elevator lurched, then steadily rose upwards.
"Just a little further, big guy. You'll be alright soon..."
Wash raised the cloth to his mouth in preparation for any gas that they might encounter, forgetting that he was completely naked. The elevator doors opened at the labs.
"Medical emergency!"

OOC: That was unusual. I only have a small idea what a naked Mudokon looks like. But oh well. Plus, I never knew that there was a elevator in the Lab.

IC: Slap only needed to look at the two Mudokons once and close his eyes in aggravation. Another operation needed to be now. Along with leg operation, the eye operation, the blood transfusion operation, the diangois operation, and whatever this guy needs operation. He needed more co-workers.

Then he realized that the elevator door was still open. Slap sped all the way to the elevator, shoved the Mudokons out of the way, and closed the door. He doubted that their elevator had a safe vent, that could filter their air. The gas could cause the people inside to be unconscoius.

Now he had to think about his new paticents. He couldn't help them, for he had other business to do. But he could help. He grabbed the Mudokon that was unconscoius and placed him on another counter. Slap next typed to the one still standing, "Sir, these gases are dangerous at the moment. You will have to wait outside for a moment." He opened the door, so he could get out. Knowing that there was no time to explain, he shoved him out and slammed the door.

Slap sighed, knowing he was being a jerk to that guy, but he had to do, what he had to do. He typed down, "Sir, may you check on that Mudokon for me, I need to get an air tank." Slap walked to the elevator and opened it up. He lingered inside, since he needed some air. Slap pressed the button that read "The Armory" on the control panel, and waited for a the floor he wanted.

ooc: Sorry about my absense. With GoreSplatter, just assume that his characters have been shipped off to some higher medical place to treat em or something, we don't have to write it in. There are loads of times characters have just faded away and people have been left to draw their own conclusions.

Jordan, there is one large R+R filled with beds where all the employees sleep, not seperate rooms.

Gonna take this oppertunity to build on something T-nex started with Anni some time ago (check here for an explanation)


Jim led Bonty to the door of the R+R. "Here it is. Lets just go in and find somewhere to sleep." At that moment, a slig (J.B) approached the door as well. Seeing him, Jim pressed himself fearfully into the shadows, but the slig didn't seem to notice them and entered.Jim watched him and turned to Bonty. "That's one of the things I hate about this place: sharing bunks with the sligs. It's almost worse than having them guarding the place."
Quietly, he crept through the door and towards his bed in the furthest corner of the room and slid inside it, almost silently, not wanting to disturb the slig.

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

Dionysia suppressed a smirk of triumph, and then said loudly, "Haha, we showed that slig. I've seen him round here, I bet he ran away and hid in his bed. C'mon, lets find some other slaves!"
She hoped the native would step out of the office with her, and that Gappiqu had heard her and would be waiting to gun it down once it was out of cover. But that noise was still going and she was worried he might not of. Either way, it depended on how the mud acted now.

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

Anni found a hose outside the factory and began watering ehr plants. After a while she realised how dark it was now getting. "I guess we better get inside," she muttered to no one in particular. She turned to the door, but at that moment heard a growl in the darkness. "Huh?"
She turned towards the sound and as it growled again, began to back away. Slowly a figure emerged from the shadows: It was a scrab. Anni tried to speak, hoping it was one of the animals that lived beneath Rupture Farms, and that it would recognise her. But her throat felt dry and her feet seemed glued to the ground. The scrab lifted its head and roared for shred power, challenging her.
Her mouth opened in horror, but then a voice that wasn't hers came out. "Challenge me!"
Anni's eyes grew wide with horror. She realised what had happened in her terror and she yelled silently in her head, 'Nova, no! Please! Let me back!'
The voice that was not hers, but Nova's, answered through her mouth. "I'm saving our lives Anni!"
'No! Not like this, please! Let me back!'
Suddenly she felt a wave of heat pass through her body and she found herself running away, deeper into the dark stockyards. Behind her, beside her garden, the body of the scrab was burning.

Bonty didn't know what to think. Obviously, Jim had a bad experience with Sligs. But tomorrow, all their troubles with Sligs would be gone.

He also tried to avoid sharing a bunk with the Slig and went into an adjencent bunk with Jim. He layed down in it and layed down. He whispered to Jim, "Don't worry, tomorrow, we will be with the Natives, learning to fight those Sligs we are so afraid of." He pressed his eyes down and tried to think of what their future will be like.
-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=

Gappiqu heard what Dionysia had said (It was more of a mumble, but he heard that they were going) and became afraid. Perhaps the Sligs won't come so fast as she thought they would. Maybe he could do something.

Now he thought of another thing to do. He placed his hand through out the pockets he had and tried to look for a bullet. Finally, he found one that he had found for the Gore Rifle. He took off the grenade on his slingshot, and replaced it with the bullet. It was rather small for the gun, but it should harm the native. He had to hope they wouldn't sense he would have a clear shot at him.

OOC: Sorry about that, I didn't know. I edited the post.

IC: JB stirred in his sleep, a constant noghtmare had been haunting him for days, in this dream people bullied him about his eyes, and once, he'd been killed by a Big bro. He sat up quickly, panting like crazy.

Nails stood at the production lines for a bit. He was struck by how quiet the factory was, it probably never stopped in it's prime. As it was, though, there was no-one around and probably no-one working. So, went his train of thought, what's the point of me staying here? There's no point if there's no-one to supervise.
At that point Armpit walked in from the grinders. Nails decided then that it was time to find a place to tuck in. He went into the passages, followed by Armpit.

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

Duagen was able to read Dionysia's lips and understand the general message she was trying to get across. As she left the office, he hesitated. There was something not right about her - she didn't act consistantly. The way she ignored the slig in the room earlier was very unusual for a slave. Being loud and energetic in the presence of a native and guards and the Sound Waverer likewise didn't mesh. And then walking out into the hallway- with an attitude like the one she had before towards sligs, who knew what could be out there? Either she was very thick, or she wasn't what she seemed.
He decided not to act conspicuously with this suspicion, and walked out of the office anyway, with the intent of shaking both Gappiqu and Dionysia as soon as the chance presented itself.

While Gappiqu was slightly altering his slingdhot on the pistol, he heard two pair of foot steps exit some sort of door. He couldn't tell if it was just him, or it really was that native and Dionysia. Just in case, he jumped up and slid to the corrider.

Once he saw the native, he aimed at the native. Carefully pulling the trigger, Gappiqu saw what just happened. The bullet he shot went stairght into the native's chest. But he wasn't quite sure if the native was in pain. He hoped so.

Gappiqu shouted to Dionysia, "Now Dionysia, please take him down! I'll stomp him as well!" Gappiqu thought about that sentence. He then just shook off the weirdness it was to say that, but he thought she got the point.

This post appeared a little while ago in the profile thread (i only just worked out how to move it :p). Well anyway, it might not mean much to most people, but for those older members or those who have read back, it may be pleasing.

With several of the characters going to bed now, it might help if people can start working in that direction. Obviously people still busy can keep up with the plot, but it can get annoying for those in bed if other people are still RPing, as it means they can't post for some time.


Dionysia saw Gappiqu leap out and shoot at the mud. She couldn't make out all of what he said (though that may not have been a bad thing) but she heard the words "Take him down!"
Getting the jist, she leapt at the native, trying to tackle him to the ground.

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

Jim tried to ignore Bonty's comment. Despite all the fear that staying meant, escaping seemed a whole lot worse to him.

He closed his eyes tightly as he heard the slig in the room (JB) stir and begin breathing noisily. He tried not to make a sound.

JB realised he was being loud, so he lay down and looked up at the dark ceiling, it had a glass window on it and he glimpsed the bright moon, which had a Mudokon paw imprinted on its face. He spotted the other moon, which was smaller, and had a replica of a gabbit foot on it. JB closed his eyes, and tried to get back to sleep...

ooc: Slaveless, Splat's map indicates an elevator entrance to the lab.
As is Slap's mouth not stitched up? Coz he can talk.

ic: The elevator doors swung open, and Wash found himself face to face with an Intern. Ah. Crap. If there's an intern here, then there's probably Vykkers too. Linc was not going to like this, if he ever woke up.
The Intern, clearly pissed at Wash's arrival, proceeded to pull Linc into the room and man(?)-handle him out the door, he dropped his urine cloth. Wash barely had time to explain Linc's situation, he never even mentioned his being deaf when the door was slammed shut.

Great.

He did see quite a few other patients in there, so the intern was obviously busy. Wash just ope that he had the sense to treat Linc right now, as he as critical. I hope I did the right thing, bringing him here, he thought. Interns and Vykkers- they're butchers!.
"Well, this is Rupture Farms, the biggest butchers on Oddworld," he said to himself. "What elsde was I going to do, just leave him to die?"
Wash suddenly bent double and coughed. He was not well either, but from the looks of things, that intern had enough to deal with. And the gas! Was it even poisonous? Wash didn't know. A red glow arrived. In the corner of his eye, Wash saw a security orb. It was back. He then remembered that he was completely naked. The beeping of the orb sounded almost like suppressed giggling.
"Get out of here, you fat sack of slog-vomit!" he yelled, and the orb whizzed away. Wash slid to the floor against the door, exhausted. Again. But then-
"Fat sack of slog-vomit!" He repeated. "Fat sack of slog-vomit! Ching chong doh sain hat shing!" Wash's hearing was coming back! It was still very faint, and the ringing drowned most of it out, but the melodie of his voice was audible. With renewed strength, Wash rose, and assigned himself a new mission: find some clothes.

(Ooc: Well, it could be a bit tricky trying to wrap this up... lets see what we can do...
Slaveless, when you say the bullet went into Duagen, do you mean it just hit him, or did it actualy go into him? I don't mind either way, but it would be good to know for continuality if Duagen has a bullet in him or not.
If I recall properly, Slap (Edit: Whoops! Sorry) talks using a computer and typing things into said computer, with a dispay for words. I'm not sure about the elevator thing - I was tempted to use it but I was under the impression that it was hidden. Anyone know what it is?
And hey - I did wonder why the therad had been pushed down by one post. It is indeed good news.)

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

Walking out of the office, Duagen saw Gappiqu out of the corner of his eye. He once again raised his spoocebow, but Gappiqu was faster, and fired his weapon first.
The bullet made Duagen stagger back. What with the single-shot capability of Gappiqu's weapon, he would probably have been able to shoot him back. However, Dionysia took that moment to tackle him, which he probably could have taken also if he hadn't just been shot. As it was, he found himself being taken down and then sustained a nasty bump to the head, rendering him unconcious.

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

Nails reached (with some difficulty) the R&R room. He was able to see that a fair few of the beds were taken, but was able to find an empty one near the entrance (Probably a good preferance, 'cause I'm gonna assume that all the corners are already taken. :p). He got into the bed and, with the skill of a trained professional, was asleep and snoring within minutes. Armpit lay down by the bed and likewise went to sleep.

OOC: Ah, I didn't see that on the map. Also, Slap uses a laptop to speak. I thought I said that he typed this and that.

Also Jordan Boi, I don think that there is a glass ceiling above the R+R. There is a floor above it. Plus, I always thought that Munch's moon was bigger. Also, I was always interested in Carrot. What happened to him?

Also Splat, maybe there needs to be a little more time. Slap and Dek are very busy, so it might be some time before they are done.

Seargentbig, I'm sorry if it didn't make sense, but the bullet just hit him and stuck there.

IC: Gappiqu saw the native was at least down on the floor. Now he could something to him. He quickly dashed towards him and saw that he was already unconscoius. Now he had to do something else.

Gappiqu decided that if he was to get up, he could use his Spooce bow. So he grabbed the native's bow, placed it on the floor and crushed it with his foot. Next, he couldn't decide what to do with an actual native. Maybe he should report this to an authority. So he said to Dionysia, "We did good. Now we need to tell Arnie about this. You stay here with him, while I go to his office. Thanks for be tolerant with me."

He gave her a hug, and then rushed down the stairs. Gappiqu contined sprinting across the corriders, until he got to the excutive office. He knocked on the door, quite loudly and yelled, "Sir, I have something very important to say, concerning the health of your factory!!"

OOC: It was sort of a glass window I meant, but if there isn't one, I'm sorry! Erm... I didn't like Carrot, I thought it would be cool to be a Slig for a change lol! :D Oh yeah, and in MO I think Munch's moon is a little smaller than Abe's, I could be wrong though!

ooc: Don't worry Jordan, you'll get used to it eventually. You could try with 2 characters, it'll give you something to do while JB is asleep :p
Searge, Slaveless, I didn't mean for everyone to magically finish what they're doing. You could assume Slap and Dek continue working through the night, it'd remove the problem of posting all the operations, just say the next morning Gore's characters have been shipped off to hospital, Linc is stable or whatever and the gas has had time to filter out or something.
Just talking about winding down so we don't end up with a situation where three of us are RPing and everyone else is going crazy.

Oh, and Slaveless, Arnie is currently in the Executive R+R, in bed. That's probably a good thing as Dripik is on holiday and won't be posting.
Something totally unexpected by me is happening to Dionysia. That's waht I love about RPs, you never know what'll happen and your characters seem to develop almost on their own.


Dionysia had been about to boast gleefully, until Gappiqu wrapped his arms around her. She froze from surprise,, and then he was gone off, looking for the boss. She recovered quickly, sat down next to the unconscious mud and tried to get her head straight.
"What's wrong with me?" She growled to herself. He was a slig, like any other. She'd always kept her distance since the disaster between her and Stivik, but now here she was; she felt like she'd almost fallen into his arms, and it was not a feeling she wanted to encourage. It wasn't what she was and she knew what would come of letting her emotions out. She squeezed her eyes closed.
When she opened them she stood up, nudged the unconscious mudokon in the side with her foot and sighed, looking up and down the corridor. She paced a little and then slumped down against the wall again. She glanced at the mudokon. "You're great company, aren't you?"

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

Anni ran blindly. She tripped over and landed on her face, before springing up quickly. She looked around, breathing hard. She couldn't see the factory anymore. Squashing her panic, she sat down quickly and curled up in a crack in the rocky ground of the stockyards. Her life as a slave meant she was used to roughing it. She closed her eyes and listened to the beating of her heart. Exhaustion slowly overcame her, and she fell into a deep sleep.

OOC: Hm, perhaps I should do that with Slap. He could bring that up to Dek.
Also, that's what I love about RPGs too. You never expect what will happen. Like Molt's arm incident. Or the time where Bonty meets Jim. This all seems like that every character here is having some sort of changes they that would never have without a RPG.

IC: Gappiqu waited a while for Arnie to responde. But after he didn't, he said nervousily, "Si-sir?" He peaked in and looked for his boss. No one was there. Gappiqu at first thought he was kidnapped. But after a little check around the corriders, he saw that there wasn't a whole lot of people there anymore. So he supposed they were all asleep. Gappiqu decided to return to Dionysia, for he knew what happens when you wake a Glukkon earlier than it needs to. The native would just have to wait.

Gappiqu remembered the hug he gave Dionysia. Maybe that was a little too unnecessary. Suddenly, his head went into agruing about Dionysia. The Slig side of him knew that Mudokons and Sligs were completely different speices. A relationship with another race would make one seem entirely seperate from a Slig pack. Skillya would probably kill him if she ever knew.

But the Gappiqu side of him looked at Dionysia as almost another Slig. She was everything a Slig would look for. Agressive. Intolerant. Lazy. She was perfect. And better yet, she didn't yell at him when he hugged her. But he still didn't know if she felt the same way about him.

Once he returned to Dionysia, he said in almost a low voice, "Well, Arnie is asleep, and from my experience, waking a Glukkon earlier than he needs to is a bad way to start off the first day of work. So if we should keep an eye on this guy for tonight." He sat down on the other side of the native and continued, "Unless you have anymore suggestions." He looked at Dionysia, but he saw something wrong with her eyes. She seemed confused or almost lonely. He said in a quiet voice, "Are you OK?"

OOC:

Ok, I think I'm about ready to try and get back into this, but would someone mind giving me a quick summary of the major events that have happened lately? (Even if it's just via PM)
I've read some of what happened, but I've missed heaps as well.
So... I'll be back soon! :p

Wash was crouched in front of a locker, playing with an open panel. He had just liberated two wires from their original positions and was timidly touching them together, flinching at the sparks they made. The locker door swung open.
"Yeah! I've still got it!" He looked inside. "All right, jackpot!" Wash pulled out a clean loincloth and held it to the light. "I don't know whose this is or who they are, but I need it more than-" He spun around. "Oh, bloody hell."
It was that pervy security orb again.
"I don't know what is wrong with you, but you seem to have taken a shine to me that I don't like."
The orb slowly advanced on him. Wash started to back away, actually scared now. "Okay orb dude, back off. Stay back. Hell hell hell hell! Gorrammit man, what do you want?" He slipped the loincloth on, and suddenly felt much braver now that he wasn't naked. He ran forwards, grabbed the orb's lens and leap-slogged over it. He darted around the corner, narrowly missing a ruby-red lightning beam that crackled in the air.

Otto opened his eyes as he heard someone shouting near the office, but then he heard Slig footsteps, trailing away. "T'was a wise move... Waking us up for nothing..." he thought. He glanced over his shoulder at Arnie, who was still sleeping in the chair. "Okay, so it's just me who can't sleep." He put his head back on the bed and tried to fall asleep.

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

Rick looked at Kix. "Sure, I could use some help. I'm planning to turn this place into a workshop of sorts, I have a few ideas. RG can help us too, if he's not against it. #7?" he asked, while looking at him.

#7 Slig was checking his rifle, when he heard this. He looked up. "Uh, I'm not sure... We have a lot of other things to do. Sure, we fixed the grinders, but something always happens here."

"True that." said Rick. "But maybe at night, like now. You can't work all day." said Rick, seeing that #7 Slig is thinking fast. "And it might be even profitable..." he said.

"You can't have enough Moolah..." said #7 Slig, looking around in the room. "Well, maybe I'll help, but only if necessary."

ooc: Gretin has asked for the dreaded summary! Just this once, and only cus not much has happened apart from a few major things: T-nex has left OWF, and I've taken Anni, while Slaveless has taken Kix. Most people spent the day fixing the grinders, Dek and Slap (Slaveless's intern) have been very busy all day. Anni has faced Arnie over trying to kill Stivi, but he's let her off, and decided to let her make a garden for groing spices to try and make her less inclined to escape. Stivik has been called off by his boss and has (reluctantly) left Rupture Farms. Now people are generally heading off to bed.

Gappiqu might feel lucky if he knew more about Dion. Skillya would kill him for getting close to her, she'd kill Dionysia for existing.


"I'm fine." Dionysia's answer was blunt. She'd closed herself up again and hoped to do a better job than last time. "We'd probably be better for not leaving this mud in the middle of the corridor though. If we could tie it up and shove it into a cupboard or something for the night I'd be happier." She stood up and looked around. Spotting a door up the corridor, she went over to it and looked inside. It led to a small, dark room where old bits of robots and other electrical stuff was stored. "This looks good. Shove him into their and I'll look in the office for some rope."

OOC: Hmmm... This'll be a little tricky to fit into the timeline, but since I never moved Sefon away from the bathrooms, or Groll or Frod away from the grinding area, I guess I'll just work with them from there.

IC:

Sefon, walking slowly towards Dek's lab to report that they'd been unable to find Dionysia, swayed as a huge noise came from the floor above. (Post #783)
He staggered for a bit, wishing for once that his hearing wasn't normally so good. Eventually recovering, he ran for the nearby stairs and rushed up them, turning to see a slig he didn't recognize (Gappiqu) talking quietly to the black mudokon he'd been sent to look for, and an unconscious native mudokon on the ground.
Then he heard what Dionysia said, and walking closer to them said, "Hey, what's going on here?"

<•-•-•-•-•>

Frod had left the grinding area with everyone else and was now on his way to the R+R room. He stepped in softly, looking around, and promptly selected a bed. Unslinging his bag from his shoulder and laying it down on his bed, he hopped in and was soon asleep...

<•-•-•-•-•>

Groll had also left the grinding area straight away, but he didn't feel like sleeping yet. He made his way out to the stockyards and started wandering casually around. He walked for some time, then suddenly thought he heard something...
He stopped and looked around, instinctively raising his rifle. Was one of the animals free? He listened carefully, no, it sounded more like slow breathing, as if someone was asleep nearby.
He started walking slowly around, pointing his rifle here and there. Why would someone be sleeping out here? The only reasons he could think of were that it was an intruder or someone up to mischeif or possibly trying to escape.
Then he saw her... The mudokon, Anni, curled up asleep on the ground.
He walked slowly towards her and stopped about a metre away, looking down at her and pondering what to do...

Dionysia shot the mud (sefon) an annoyed look, and in a somewhat superior tone of voice, asked, "Shouldn't you be in bed, Mud? We found this native breaking in and manged to knock it out. But Arnie's gone to sleep, so we've got to make sure it doesn't do any damage until tomorrow, when we can tell the boss." She glanced at the mud appraisingly. As you're here you might as well make yourself useful and help Gappiqu get it in that room."

Turning away, Dionysia entered the security office and looked around. After a quick search she found a role of tough-looking wire which she desided would do.


ooc: If we can wrap this up now guys, we can then jump to 'tomorrow' and get things going again. It also seems like a good time to be starting W@RF 6.

OOC: Ugh. If only it was that simple.

IC: Gappiqu seriousily thought that Dionysia had something going on with her for a while, but he had to trust her. He also listened to what she had to say. He was going to ask what the rope was for, but she started barking at a Mudokon just over a question. Gappiqu said nothing at first.

He realized what had just happened. Dionysia, all day, had been shouting at people, if they didn't think her way. After thinkling about that, he whispered to Dionysia, "I really love how you can make yourself seem powerful. That would make even Molt make him be reasonble."

Gappiqu picked up the native and said to Sefon, "You heard her. Find the key for that door, so we can stuff him in there." He still wondered what the rope was for, but he still went over to the door that Dionysia was talking about.

ooc: The door's already open, Slaveless. Dionysia opened it eariel to see what was in there. I was thinking it was perhaps the cupboard where Rick discovered RG in W@RF 3. Sorry for confusion. Also, sorry If I'm taking control over this bit of the RPG, but this will be getting very boring for everyone who has put their characters to bed so I wanted to hurry through this bit.

If we just get Duagen into the room, tied up and then sit our characters down outside to guard, we can switch to the next day.

Dionysia: "Shouldn't you be in bed, Mud?"

"Shouldn't you?" Sefon fired back, "and actually I was looking for you, but..." he looked at the native mudokon, "...I suppose that can wait."
"What did you say he was doing?" he asked, as he walked up to Gappiqu and lifted up Duagen's feet, leaving Gappiqu presumably holding him under the shoulders so they could carry him into the room...

<•-•-•-•-•>

Groll stood, staring at Anni, for a while, feeling very tempted to simply blast her with his rifle; his hate against mudokons was burning furiously, and who would know out here?
But, he told himself, someone would found out sooner or later, and he knew the boss around here wasn't likely to just not care... And with his distinctive rifle, it wouldn't be hard for him to be caught out.
So he decided to stay out here for the night, and hopefully watch what she did when she awakened in the morning; if this mud had any crazy escape plans he'd be there to stop it!
He searched briefly for a hiding place, then finding a suitable area where he could watch but (hopefully!) not be seen, he settled down for the night...

OOC: As a correction and fun fact, Rick found RG-49 in a Storage Room (the Armory for future reference, I guess). http://www.oddworldforums.net/showpo...&postcount=685

I've been thinking the same about v.6. Everyone should return to R+R, or at least, fall asleep where they are at the moment. Then I'll create the new thread, and the new day will start.

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

#7 Slig laid the gun on his shoulder and called for the Mudokons. "So, let's go to R+R, shall we?"

"Yeah, sounds like a good idea. We can come back tomorrow. Hey Kix, you coming?" said Rick, standing up from his chair and setting off to the door.

OOC: Ah, OK.

IC: Kix was glad that she could help, but then she started to yawn. Prehaps she should hit the sack.

She saw that Rick and #7 decided to leave, so she jumped up and said, "Right behind you!" Next, she ran toward the door, and opened it. And finally, she set off to the R+R.

After that Mudokon had a head start, he went into the room, and found a empty, big enough to hold a Mudokon inside. So he layed the part that he was holding of the native, and nudged the other Mudokon to do the same.

Once he got out, he slumped down to the wall beside him. He turned off his mask and started to close his eyes, thinking about Dionysia, and drifted to sleep.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Max saw that the Mudokon he saw was not responding, so he tried to leap at her. But for no reason, all his senses came to a blur. There was too much going on for him, so he fell, trying to rest.

Once he got up, his senses told him that the Mudokon was nearby still. So he dashed after the Mudokon, jumping almost, over rocks, and falling off ledges. At last, he found that there was a unconcsious Mudokon and a Slig in his sleep. He planned to attack the Mudokon, but he was above them. Max was on a cliff, and fell off when he made 'his move'. Landing on his head, he drifted into an unconcsious sleep.

The Paramite with no name entered Rupture Farms. It gave an enormous screech, then it layed down and went to sleep.

OOC: I couldnt think of a name so somone just name me ;)

(Ooc: Well done, Soul-Storm. It looks like you've taken all the right steps for joining the RPG - made a profile, read back at least a bit... probably, naming a character should be your responsibility. Also, I can't think of one.
It's a shame you chose this time to join. It looks like we're starting a new thread soon (Continuing on from this one). Nevertheless, I'm sure we'll look forward to RPing with you.
And can we please put a link to Splat's map at the begining of the new thread? Helpful to all, I feel.)

Dionysia entered the room and was slightly annoyed to find Gappiqu already asleep. She grunted and, with some difficulty, managed to tie up the native with the wire, hoping it would be tight enough. Then she stepped out of the room, closed the door (leaving it in darkness) and sat down beside it. Completely failing to get comfortable, she sighed and slowly drifted into a light sleep.


ooc: Soul-storm, You need to name your character, at least call it 'Hiss' or something. Also a little more info on it would be good, is it native, was it brought to Rupture Farms to be eaten?

Well, I think that's everybody out now, in one way or another. Dripik, if you want to make W@RF 6, I'll sort this out. Also I've made a new version of the map, generally a touch-up, with recent additions (Rick's workshop, the secret passage and so on). Stick it in the first post of the new part.

OOC: OK, I guess it's time to finish this version of W@RF. I'll just send my characters to R+R (Slaveless, can we presume Kix followed them? Or they followed Kix or whatever...), and then I'll create v.6.

The link to Splat's map will be available at the new thread. It helps alot, we can add more detail to the 'walked here from there' stuff. (Though there are a few strange things, like the Executive R+R... But that's nobody's fault, earlier, the Ex. R+R was a separate room, and now it's opening from the Executive Office's entry hall. At least, that's how I imagined it... Oh, and the workshop doesn't have a door yet...) I think W@RF could be a bit better organized, but I'll make my points in the next thread.

Welcome to W@RF, Soul-Storm. Point for good grammar, but a bit more detail to the profile would be good.

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

#7 Slig and Rick walked out of the room. Rick yawned. "What a day... We haven't been working this much since this place reopened."

"Right. I will not mind if don't see another screwdriver or grinder part for a week." said #7 Slig.

Rick laughed. "Yeah. Repairs take a lot out of slacking workers like us."

They arrived to the R+R. They both went to their beds. "Night." They said and were fast asleep.

OOC: Ah, I can make a short post as Kix.

Anyway, I like the map on Rupture Farms. Very vivid and obviously done with a lot of research. Anyway, I two questions. In AO, when you first go to the Stockyards, you come across a sign that says no Mudokons. Does that have still an effect on the new Rupture Farms? Also, what ever happened to Zalug 2,3,&4?

IC: kix followed her friends into the R+R, thinking about her hard day. She yawned quietly and layed down on a couch in the R+R. After a while, she fell into a deep sleep.

The mini-overview thing on the map shows that a large portion of it is in ruins, which is where I assume all that was. I've only played AO once before, so I don't know it too well.
I assume all the no mudkons stuff has been taken down, Arnie's somewhat more friendly than Mullock.


We'll call that a day for W@RF 5 then. Dripik, tell me if there's anything on the map you think should be different.
Don't post here from now on and I'll unsticky it when W@RF 6 gets made.
