The Red Muse 03-12-2007 09:57 AM

(( blargh >.<))

Jammer could hear the brakes screech, before the train came to a stop. He lazily opened his eyes and peered out of the window. After three full days of traveling, bad food and lumpy mattresses, they finally reached their destination.

"RuptureFarms", snort "About bloody time."

He eyed the smaller slig sleeping across the cabin. With a grunt, Jammer got up and viciously poked Red till he woke up.

"Mwwwah...?"
"Get yer ass up, we're here."
"We're where?"
"Rupture Farms, ye asshat! Now get up before I lose me temper!"

Muse blinked and stood up, stretching.


The two sligs made their way out of the train, carefully inspecting the station.
"Whoa..."

Jammer peeked over his shoulder, only to see the smaller slig standing zombified with his mouth wide open.
"What?!", Jammer barked
"After all that damn trouble we went through to get here, I just...can't believe we finally made it! Yaaay!"
Jammer watched in sheer horror as Red began bouncing all over the train station, screaming and crying like a " wee girl".

"Why am I torturing myself like this? Or did the Allmighty Odd decide to punish me for all I have done?! I swear, I'm never -ever- going anywhere with that idiot again", Jammer mused ,"Will you STOP THAT!? STOP THE GODDAMN SCREAMING, MY EARS ARE BLEEDING ALREADY", he bellowed

But Red didn't seem to hear him.

"Pffft, teme..."

((whoop, poor Jammer :3 ))

Splat 03-12-2007 10:15 AM

ooc: YAY! Jammer and Musey are back! Huzzah!!!!!!! All is awesome!

12345Abe, don't double post, and DEFINATELY don't triple-post! It's against the forum rules and if you keep doing it you could get a warning. If you need to, use the edit button. Also, your profile should be posted in thr W@RF profile thread. That's what it's there for.

IC:
Krik chuckled, "And it's better than they deserve. I also wanted to remind you to keep an eye on Dionysia. No doubt you remember what the Cartel said would follow for you if she was injured. Her behaviour's been getting rather eratic recently," He shrugged, "She is only a prototype."

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

Dionysia looked up as Opple gestured. "Trees and dirt and grass. what is there to see?" She felt numb to the world, qrapped up in her little ball of fear of what could happen to her. How could she carry on? What was the point of it; she was nothing but a flawed model.

Munch's Master 03-12-2007 11:16 AM

OOC: Yes, finally, one of the original gang is back properly!
Oh and Splat, in case you couldn't interpet my poorly typed OOC earlier, I said 'what do you want us to post [for Kix and Dean], I've forgotten where they are'.
IC:
Arthur looked doubtful. "Eeh, I dunno, I don't like psychos. Plus, don't forget Quarma- Dek operated on Molt an' has no doubt done some pretty cruel stuff as a doc, so this could be Odd's way of gettin' back at him. Or me, as Dek's representative. You never know how fickle Odds can be..."
Dek sighed "#7, don't mind Arthur. He's just a lazy coward who is more interested in...cooking than medical science. No macho in him at all. You'd think he didn't need to be sterilizied, the way he acts."

Arthur looked at Dek fierecely "Right! You wanna make that kinda jokin about me eh? Fine! I'll do it! An so help me, if I get blown up, it's your fault!" He marched off in the direction of the Gridners, mumbling incoherent swearwords.

Dek winked at #7 "Insulting their pride always does the trick. Come on, it's hunting season, let's go bag ourselves a homicidal maniac." Dek also headed off to the Grinders, but waited for #7 to follow.

Zerox 03-12-2007 11:55 AM

IC: "Yeah, I agree with you there. I'm kinda getting bored" said Sturg, as looked at the gun.

OOC: Sry short post.

Splat 03-12-2007 01:15 PM

ooc: But MM, we have two oldies-but-goldies! Reiji Neko Mitsukai was a member at the end of W@RF part 1.
And I did read your post; I was hoping Slaveless might provide some insight when he next posts. I just want to see where they are/what they're up to so I can decide if it's sensible for Anni to find them. As noted, Jim, Somi and Sturg don't have much to do right now.

12345abe 03-12-2007 01:47 PM

THX
 
ooc:Thx for warning, Splat, and... I heard you can give license to RPG makers, (btw sry for posting that cr*p, the MY Rpg, delete that please)Can u git me a license? (or u already did?I asked u somewhere...) and btw red muse, you said in the text something he was carefully looking around the station... How didn't anyone spot Grunt lying on the floor?(I won't triple or double post anymore, i will edit now thx for warning me)

dripik 03-12-2007 02:00 PM

OOC: She didn't say anything about RM running through the whole Station. Just bouncing around in joy. And her lines are not even unclear, like some of the stuff you write, 12345abe. Was it really necessary for Grunt to make an entrance by falling unconcious in the first minute? And you should write full sentences, not like "dripik r u here? U r? Sry". Try to pick up a few basics from experienced people around here.

Lovely! Jammer and RM returned! I wonder how the 'old' characters will react on their reappearance...

Arxryl 03-12-2007 05:27 PM

Ike looked back at Clem, and responded to his question.
"Well, I haven't really met him myself, but from what I've seen, he's okay. He doesn't seem to be too mean..."

Ike looked back ahead. They were now past the grinders, and only about five seconds later, they were in line.

He said back to the two behind him, "Well, it looks like Krik is talkin' to him right now, so if we wait just a bit longer, we might be able to get a job."

He gave a hopeful smile, and turned forward watching the conversation between Krik and Arnie, however he was far enough away to where he wasn't really paying attention to what they were saying.

IloveHammy! 03-12-2007 05:34 PM

Mixed emotions...
 
ic:

Opple:"Well,I think it's very beautiful,even if it is just trees and grass and dirt.It sorta reminds me of home." *Opple looked a little homesick,even though she hadn't been at Rupture Farms more than a few hours.*

Shickwayla:"Me too." *She had the same look as Opple in here big yellowish.green eyes.* "But anyway,how have you been since our last meeting in the cafeteria?"

Opple:"Yeah,and what's your name again?"

Reiji Neko Mitsukai 03-12-2007 07:59 PM

Timidly, the female mudokon stepped out of the station, looking around. With luck, maybe she would be able to find a map without finding anyone that would "interrogate" her...

Marco the Glukkon 03-13-2007 06:41 AM

Zuka peered over the top of Ike and Clem, and glared at the Vykker and Glukkon. Whenever these two species got together, it was definatley not a good sign. Nothing good came out of it. Zuka never like Vykkers, for some Odd reason, and had come to avoid them at all costs. Perhaps it was becasue they always thought they were better or something...he didn't know or care.

"Hmmph.....Vykkers..." Zuka sniffed the air and retched. "Filthy creatures...."

Zuka tapped his foot on the floor impatiently.

"Grrr...this is getting ridiculous! I am an elite Slig warrior! I shouldn't have to wait in line like this....grrrr....." Zuka said under his breath.


_________________________________________________________________

Clem stared at the Vykker and Glukkon as he waited in line. This Glukkon did not look too mean, but looks can be decieving. He trusted Ike, but at the same time he couldn't shake the feeling of being scared.

"Boy, this isn't a long line. That's ok if it was though, because I like lines."
Clem said. "It gives me time to look around."

Taking his dufflebag, Clem pulled out 3 things, a small glowing marble, a piece of paper with a list on it, and an oatmeal creme paramite pie. Taking the pie, he shows it to Ike.

"Want a bite Ike? It's a paramite creme pie! It's good, I can't get enough of these things. I eat them when I'm nervous...." Clem said.


ooc:: sry for the short post, had to write this in 5 minutes lol

Splat 03-13-2007 08:57 AM

ooc: That wasn't what I'd call a short post, Marco.
12345abe, go and actually read the RPG licence thread. It points out that you have to have RPG experience before you can make your own RPG, which you evidently don't. So no, you cannot have a licence.

IC:
Last time Dionysia introduced herself to these two she used her lab code, cus she genereally thought it sounded more intimidating if everyone had to call her DS-P.L7 version 4.
Despite a slight instinct to say it again she just couldn't be bothered, "Dionysia." She looked up over the stockyards before answering the big one's question (I believe steefs are bigger than grubbs?), still seeing nothing but smoke and dirt. "I'm nothing... An arrogant nothing."

Reiji Neko Mitsukai 03-13-2007 01:03 PM

The female mudokon cautiously looked both ways down the hallway she encountered. So far, no sight or sound of other beings- she was beginning to wonder if the train had dropped her off at the wrong place...

Fortesque13 03-13-2007 05:17 PM

Can I join?
 
Hey, Dripik! Can I join the show? I was thinking of bringing old tybie_odd's characters back(Smudge, Jayne, Vince, Correl, and Adrian). I don't know about you, but the whole thing felt different since they have gone...

BTW Why do u have to type the code from the image each time you're searching?

Arxryl 03-13-2007 06:16 PM

Ike looked at the Pie Clem had just offered him and decided against it.
"Uh...no thank you. I'm not too hungry right now."

*He looked back at the two talking directly in front of him. He shuffled his trench coat and moved his legs a bit, but remained quiet.*

Zerox 03-14-2007 05:56 AM

OOC: Fortesue13, I'd at least start a character or two for your own first, and if you are/become good enough, perhaps then you could ask such a question. Maybe you could ask Splat about it too.

dripik 03-14-2007 12:12 PM

OOC: I agree with Zerox. We don't even know if you can RP, Fortesque. And even if you are OK at RPing, I can't decide instead of tybie_odd. Vince, Jayne, Correl, Smudge and Adrian are her characters after all, not mine. I'd prefer you created a profile of your own to start with.

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

"Hey, am I to blame if she's a bit... faulty?" asked Arnie. "Prototypes are bound to be like that, even if it's a Mudokon we're talking about. And don't start the usual On-Cartels-Orders stuff, I already know that. I just can't understand how they want me to keep an eye on a Mudokon and successfully run a factory at the same time."

He noticed some new people behind Krik, waiting for him. "Listen, if that's all, I'll just talk to these fellows."

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

After some minutes, Rick had successfully cut the metal plate. He turned the welder off and examined his work. The plate was shaped like RG's face, with two openings for the eyes. Meanwhile, RG finished working on his damaged optical sensors. He placed the torch on the table. Rick was still watching the facial plate, amazed by his work... Until RG took it from the table.

"Hey, what...?" said Rick, and he looked at RG. The robot was examining the plate.

"So, your sight is OK then?" asked Rick, surprised.

RG looked at Rick, who sprang back in his seat. RG's face was still smashed, and the usual glow coming from his 'eyes' again made the picture rather frightful. "Yes, I have fixed my sensors, as you can see. I only need to replace my facial plate and the covering glass over my optical sensors." he said, looking at the plate again. "I have to admit, you handled to the task better than I expected."

"Uh, thanks." said Rick, deciding that he'll take RG's words as a compliment.

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

"Sure, let's get going then." said #7 Slig, joining Dek. "Say, what're you planning to do with Molt after we capture him? Do you think there's a way to make him less psycho? You said something about chips earlier..."

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

OOC: Just to let you know, I'm not going to be active until Saturday. I might check in tomorrow morning, though.

Splat 03-14-2007 12:34 PM

ooc: MM, Slaveless, if both of you have lost the plot for your characters a bit could we just jump forward a little and say they've found a hose and meet Anni in the halls. Right about now there's nothing for the characters at the tower to do other than sit around looking bored.

IC:
Krik nodded his consent. "That's the trick isn't it. Running the factory and keeping an eye on her. Maybe you could have one of your employees keep an eye on her," It was just a suggestion, not an order, "Someone whose dedicated, or she'll probably get away from them. Anyway, I'll be leaving. I'll just go an call a train and be off."
He gave Arnie a parting gesture and headed back up the stairs and towards the security office. He went to the office fone and called his lab to order a train.

12345abe 03-14-2007 12:37 PM

i'm out
 
ooc:I am out guys, it was all better with that old group.(At least to me) now I will get Grunt off your all's backs.
Grunt:*Thinking he was set up*They set me up!!I guess they have too many employees, I better hurry before they think that I will stay,HEEEELPP!!!!!*flies outta the station* *Suddenly...* OOOOOOWWW!!!!*A train hits him and drives him on the front side until they arrive to Feeco depot* Ouch my... everything!It hurts like hell, better search someone...
ooc:It IS bad without Tybie odd!And Fortesque13 IS good in RP-ing, trust me, trust me.(I am soo sad... good old times...)And plz don't reply to this,just don't!And... yea, the whole thing DID feel different...(and even baad...)And of course, he can make his own char later when tybie odd brings back and give the chars back to tybie (her chars)!Aand, do you have some problems with "noobs"? (I didn't mean as an insult, and I meant it for me and fortesque) I see that only things you write is something bad...Especially for me and you also ignore some things...So I quit 'cause it will never be the same...

Fortesque13 03-14-2007 01:07 PM

Okay!
 
OOC:There's no need to be so grumpy about it! Well I guess I'll create 1 char of my own for now. But tybie_odd said anyone can take up on them or just leave them in memories... I'll show you guys how I do it and maybe then you'll agree! Well for my first character...
Name:Johnny
Species:Slig valet
Rest is in the profile thread. I just wanted you to know who I am going to be.

moxco 03-14-2007 01:33 PM

Dr T. stepped of the train with slig #4.
"Well" said Dr T, "were do I go for a job enquire?"
"I dont know" replied #4.
"Dont just stand there come in with me and have a look around" snapped Dr T.
"okay, okay" wined #4.

After exploring the factroy Dr T. and #4 came across a muddokun, [Ike]
"Excuse me", said Dr T "were do we go for a job enquire?"

arkaznor 03-14-2007 09:38 PM

ooc: Hey, I haven't posted in awhile.

ic: Ark finished his leg and left the tray with a "Why bother" look on his face. After exiting the cafeteria he pulled out the map he had discovered a little while ago. Examining it he exclaimed, "Right seems simple enough," and trotted off. Not realizing that he dropped the map on the floor. His feet making soft thumps, that reverberating off the walls.

After a few minuets of walking, climbing stairs, and looking through random doors, Ark realized he hadn't the faintest idea where he was.
"Great, not only did I lose my map, I'm lost myself." Ark muttered as his feet carried him nowhere in particular.

Surprised to see sunlight reflecting off his tattoos, (causing them to sparkle) Ark looked up, and saw that he was on the same platform he had arrived at. What was also surprising was that there were two sligs, on the platform. He just stood there gazing at them,(because he couldn't think of what else to do) as the sun made his tattoos glow. (Which was something he had always hated, ever since he had got them.)

Reiji Neko Mitsukai 03-14-2007 10:29 PM

Hearing someone coming down the hall, Aida felt a pang of panic and moved with her first instinct- hide. Quickly looking around, she ducked into a nearby open doorway and pressed her back against the wall, listening carefully to the footsteps. Once she deemed it safe enough, she carefully peered around the doorway to look at the retreating back.

It was another mudokon, as far as she could tell; male, with almost purpleish skin. He seemed to have lots of tattoos- she wondered about this for a few moments, then glanced at the direction he had come. Perhaps...

She slipped from the empty room- storage, she assumed- and moved quietly down the hallway.

Zozo the Zrilufet 03-16-2007 05:50 AM

OOC: Meh, I'm gonna try again.

IC
Tiny looked around the room briefly, before walking back out and through the train station, to the Grinding area, looking at the flashing spinning meat grinders and wincing at the animal blood on them. "Anyone here?..."

Marco the Glukkon 03-16-2007 06:18 AM

Zuka fiddled with the shoulder strap on his gun. It was getting ridiculus standing around and waiting...how could he just stand there like that being stupid all day?

"Urg...I've had enough!"

His eyes darted to Clem, who was shaking madly from nervousness.

"Hey, Mud, you don't have to worry about going in front....BECAUSE I AM!"

Zuka smashed Clem to the ground with the butt of his gun, then slammed on his back with his metallic foot. Zuka's eyes glared toward Ike.

"Alright Mud, I'll give you 5 seconds to move. I'm going first, you got it?"


_________________________________________________________________

Clem felt a burning explosion of pain across his back and head. One moment he was feeling nervous, thinking about what ways the Glukkon boss was going to cut his legs off, and then he realized he was on the ground. Struggling to get up, Zuka just pressed down harder on his back. Clem could tell someone was on him because of th esound of metallic gears clicking.

Clem said weakly "Get...off....me...uh....g..."

Suddenly, Clem's eyes started to glow white, and anger filled his face. He managed to flip around, grab Zuka's leg and hold him up off of the ground.

Clem" "I said....get off of me!"

Zuka: What the....?!?!?

Before Zuka could understand what was going on, Clem flung Zuka across the room, hitting the wall and crashing to the floor.

Zuka:: Why you little....!!

Zuka's barrel of his gun pointed straight at Clem's head, right in the space between his eyes.

Arxryl 03-16-2007 11:49 AM

OOC: Sorry for not posting in forever. I've got track and all other sorts of things goin' on and...yeah.


Ike saw Zuka holding his gun to Clem's face and stepped forward and began to whisper.

"Guys, Krik just finished talkin' to Arnie. You gotta cool down, otherwise we might not even get a job here! And I don't care if you go first Zuka, but... you gotta be polite." Ike stepped away and stood next to Clem.

arkaznor 03-16-2007 03:35 PM

ic: Ark decided to turn around, for he didn't really want to be seen by these two. But while he started to turn to the left, he saw a door marked (Grinding Area). Ark, glancing back, slipped into the door.
"You got to be kidding, it was right where I arrived, and Arnie isn't even here." Ark sighed as he slid down the wall, "Oh, while."

ooc: Sorry for the short post.

Alf Shall Rise 03-16-2007 05:44 PM

Here's my second try at RPing. I hope it's alright that only my two characters interact, they aren't really near anyone else.

ic: That same slig came back, and walked down the isle where all the cages were. The slig stopped at Ol' Crabby, and began to talk. "You're kinda like me. Thing is, you're stupid beyond all reason," the slig said. "But no offense, I can see why you hate this place. I hate it too." Ol' Crabby was about to try to attack the slig, but then he thought, "Nah. This guy seems nice." The slig patted Ol' Crabby on the head. "The name's Guy, Ol' Crabby. I'll make sure you never get chopped up for meat. No matter how tasty it is." Guy continued doing is job, and he disappeared into the darkness.

ooc: Is that better from the last one?

Marco the Glukkon 03-16-2007 06:30 PM

"Grrrr....." Zuka lowered his gun and put it back into the hollister on his back.

"Don't even think I'm letting this go..."

Zuka said pointing his finger at the two Muds.

"...I'll get even." Zuka walked over to his place in line.

"You can have the front, for now....."

Zuka looked Clem up and down.

"Freak...." Zuka sat on a stool and smoked his cigarette. His pride hurt.

Clem's white eyes glared, then returned to normal. He slumped down onto the ground and put a paw to his head.

"Whoa...what a rush....dang what hit me? I feel like my brains got fried....and I only had that happen once....ok maybe twice!

" Clem staggered up onto his feet. The pain in his back and head were gone.

(OOC: Thanks MoxCo!)

IC:
Continuing her wandering, Aida came upon a map laying on the floor. Curious, she picked it up, observing the layout. Apparently she had gone down the stairs that lead to the grinders on the ground floor- but the executive office was back on the first floor, which was where she assumed she would find the boss. She shivered a little bit, but nevertheless turned around and went back to the stairs.

Arxryl 03-17-2007 04:11 PM

"Alright."
Ike took his place at the front of the line again. He then walked up to Arnie and asked,

"Hello Sir. I was hopin' I could get a job here? I'm not really fussy about what one I get, but I do want to help." Ike nervously fiddled with his hands as he awaited a reply.

Reiji Neko Mitsukai 03-17-2007 08:27 PM

(OOC: Where is Arnie anyway?)

Arxryl 03-17-2007 09:57 PM

OOC: I believe he is above of around the meat grinder area on a catwalk of some sort. that's what I believe anyways.

moxco 03-17-2007 10:59 PM

After being ignored by Ike Dr T and #4 were wondering around, he passed many interesting places such as The Grinding Room, The Pump Control Room and more. Before long they passed someone on the stairs [Aida].
"Excuse me" said Dr T.
"Do you know were I go for a job enquire?"

Reiji Neko Mitsukai 03-17-2007 11:17 PM

(OOC: Sorry it took me so long to respond; I was checking up on your character's profiles...)

Aida jumped at the sudden appearance of the two beings on the stairway, having been studying the map before looking up at hearing their footsteps. Panic rose in her chest again at the sight of the slig, but this time she quelled it enough to not run away. Instead she immediately lowered her eyes to the floor, shaking her head. She was lost as well.

moxco 03-17-2007 11:44 PM

Aida's jump scared #4 and he jumped as well.

"So are you going to tell us were to go and sign up", questioned Dr T.
"Yes are you going to tell us were to go and sign up", repetaed #4
"Are you lost, like us", asked Dr T.

Dr T had a lot of thoughts running through his head. He was wondering if he would ever get a job, would the boss refuse his request. If he was accepted were would he be orded to work? Were would Slig #4 have to work? Questions, questions lots of them were running through his mind. "Do they even need a vykker at Rupture Farms?", he thought to himself

Reiji Neko Mitsukai 03-17-2007 11:46 PM
