ooc: I believe he was talking figuratively, Mox.
Oh and Mox, you're sig's somewhat huge. You might want to cut it down before it gets deleted. |
Tiny nodded. "Uhuh. The glukkon seems kinda busy though...Still, it seems nicer than the Slig Barracks here I guess."
|
Arnie was getting impatient with the newcomers, and he was under the impression that this applied in reverse, too. "OK, I see that you all want a job here. We could use some help around, so you're welcome here. Now, if you follow me while I make an inspection in the factory, I might be able to tell you what to do." he said to the crowd.
"And I'd prefer if you stopped killing eachother even before I can employ you." he said, looking at the bickering Sligs. "Well, you don't have to pay them yet, so it wouldn't be a big waste." said Otto, returning from the grinder conveyor, since the Mudokons were too busy to notice him. "They are working fine, everything's in order." he said to Arnie. |
Realizing that Arnie was now paying attention to him, CD-428 quickly fell into line not wanting to get into any trouble.
"Sorry boss, you won't see any mo' trouble out a me." |
:
|
"Uhhh, okay, I'll follow you..." Tiny said nervously. The last Glukkon he had worked for had been a pretty impatient guy, he didn't want to get into any trouble or yelled at.
|
ic:
Shickwayla:"Well, just so ya know, we'll always be here for ya. Thats what friends do." *Shickwayla wanted to become friends with Dionysia really bad. So what if she ahd a few flaws? She still had a soul, and clearly needed someone to lean on.* ooc: Sorry for short post! I only get an hour a day on the computer, and right now I have 2 minutes left! |
"Okay! Sounds great!" Ike stated. He was more than ready to follow Arnie, if it meant he was to get a job. He glanced over at Tiny and saw him still a little nervous. Ike gave a little smile of encouragement, as if he wanted to say 'everything's goin' to be fine.'
He looked back at Arnie and quickly pulled out his notepad, and drew a picture of all the people surrounding him in it. He then put it back. |
Aida heard Arnie's announcement, and stepped away from the wall. She took her place at the back of the group, being sure to stay at least an arms length away from the sligs.
|
Dr T hurried along and started to follow Arnie. Leaving #4Slig behind.
Dr T wondered "Were would he be posted to work?" He was soon to find out. |
OOC: dripik, did you notice Dek and Arthur replied to #7?
IC: Dean nodded. "Arnie seems to like us, or at least trust us, since we've been here for a while. I would say Jim could go back to the tower but, he is very jittery and having a new employee there might help our case. Kix, what do you think?" |
Zuka took a puff of his cigarette as he heard Arnie's words.
"Hmmph...alright it's time to get rid of the riff raff and get down to business" Zuka thought to himself as he stared at CD-428. "I don't have time to waste my breath on you, pawn. Just remember...I always aim for the prize....." Zuka turned to #4 slig. "Name's Zuka. 3rd in Command of General Zeek's army under the jouristiction of Lieutenant Jaccuza the Glukkon. Whaddya want?" _________________________________________________________________ Clem turned to Ike and Tiny and smiled. "Thank Odd, I'm glad we might finally get a job. Hey Ike, I do you think that Arnie might take my list into consideration? I hope Arnie likes my ideas..." Clem looked at the Big Bro Slig in front of him (Tiny) and his upper lip started to quiver. "You're....you're...you're...." Clem suddenly ran in front of Tiny and smiled. "WOW! You're a big bro slig! I have only seen a few of you guys! Can I shake you're hand? Got any guns? Where did you used to work? I wish I had a tattoo like you guys usually have...,but those hurt.... |
"He might think about it Clem. Who knows.... anything can happen." Ike responded.
He was there physically, but it seemed his mind was off somewhere else. Finally getting a job. And jobs help people. Ike knew this would be great... He snapped out of it, and continued to pay attention. |
Hey can I pleases join????
Thanks! Um if its alright with the rest of yous... Name:Vester Species:Armoured big bro Age: 22 Personality:Rather stupid, like a child, and loves opples. He'll do anything that Lenny says.Also nice, but if you piss him off... Appearnce: Has dark black armour, with steel gloves. His mask is a strange looking mask with a long attente jutting from it. Exquipment: A Blitzpacker and a flamethrower *** Number 2 *** Name: Lenny Species:Slig Age:17 Personality: Nice and unaturally happy. Best friends with Vester. Appearance: Green with blue spots (something bad happened at his former job) Exquipment: A machine gun. Lenny: This is a nice place! *Steps off fee-co train* Vester:Really? *looks dumbly around* looks...Big Lenny:Whahoo! We will make a ton of friends here! I know it! *Hops around and sings* *Vester watches as Lenny dances off toward the doors. He snorts and lumbers after him* Dont move so fast...It hurts my eyes... Lenny: Im so Happppyyyyyyyy!!!!! *Prances through the doors, followed by Vester* Is that alright? |
Tiny gigled at the attention from Clem. "Uhh, okay! I don't have any guns, but I used to work at the Slig Barracks, but then I moved here by myself. Where are you from?"
|
ooc: Not a bad start, good entrance and good characters. Could you also put your character profiles in the W@RF profile thread. As this RPG is so long it's often hard to find character profiles so we made a seperate thread so you can look them up easily.
(Cool to see another Firefly fan :p) MM, think this is still unclear. Jim is currently in the tower. Anni is in the factory and I believe this is where she just met up with Dean and Kix. Where on Earth is Slaveless?! IC: Dionysia laughed dryly, humourlessly. "Listen, please just... let me be alone for a bit. I just need to think." It sounded a bit pathetic. Not up to her usual standards, certainly, but she couldn't make the effort. Odd knew she didn;t want to die. If life had taught her anything it was that you couldn't trust people. Even when they start off meaning well... People would betray you soon as look at you. Like Stivik, like (she felt) Gappiqu. Like herself. That was what she was made for wasn't it? To betray people. She just wanted to be left alone. |
*Vester and Lenny were walking around RF*
Lenny: Oh, this place is so big! So beautiful! *He skipped about like a rabbit* Vester frowned: Beauti? Me thinks its big... Lenny: You dont think that much eh? Where is everyone? I want to make friends! Vester glanced at his steel-clad fists and said: Maybe they have meeting? Lenny beamed: Right! Lets go find them and be friends! Vester: I thought I was you friend? Lenny turned: You are, silly! But I want more! Vester followed as Lenny struted down the corridor: Oh fine, that gooder. Lenny: HELLO?! Also Ive put my profile onW@RF profile thread |
OOC: Here's my first try at RPG-ing, so here goes. Also, i think i already introduced how my character made it into RuptureFarms through history, does that count? Well, let me start...
IC: Scrabbers woke up in the Stockyards with the same familliar environments surronding him. He walked about too find some scraps of food too eat of the floor and too his luck found a dead paramite corpse on the floor and started to eat it. Scrabbers was starving and this really filled him up and gave him the energy he needed too avoid predators like other scrabs and paramites. Scrabbers walked around the Stockyards until he came across a large tower. It looked pretty dangerous and old but Scrabbers wanted to check this tower out too see if it was devoid of life and if he could stay there too get out of the way of other scrabs and paramites. Scrabbers entered the tower. He could sense that something was in here but he didn't know what it could be. He felt like he was being watched. He walked up the building cautiously when suddenly he saw too his shock too find a creature with webbed feet and two tiny arms attached to its body. He waited and watched at what this dangerous looking creature would do. He also saw a tall humanoid like creature but didn't know what this was either since he never really got a chance too look at mudokons before...Scrabbers was frightened at this. OOC: Is that ok? And now maybe Sturg might be able to actually do something... |
Lenny and Vester walk around RF, angling towards the cafeatria.
Lenny:You think we will get hired? Vester: Um might... *Lenny skips about and starts singing happily* *Vester thunders after him, his dull eyes scanning the area for any threats* |
Ike replied to Tiny "I'm from the woods somewhere. I'm not sure exactly, but I know I was born in the woods. Here, let me show you."
He pulled out his notebook, and opened up to the page of a picture of where he was born. He then touched the slig with the notebook, and the slig could instantly see the trees... the rocks... the stream... the wildlife. Unspoiled, and untouched, only by him. He was the horizon and the sun sinking behind it, and the beautiful atmosphere. He could see everything, as if a mystic force was showing him. Ike pulled his notebook back and put it in his pocket again. "that's where I am form..." |
Doe looked at the dark skinned mudokon from the shadows... he doubted that the mud was covered in dirt... this one needed studying.
|
Vester and Lenny stoped outside of the cafeatria door.
Vester:Think someone in there? Lenny: Maybe, Lets go! *Kicks the door open and bounds in, yelling* Hello!!!! (Hey, is anyone in the cafetria?) |
Tiny blinked at the notebook. "Cool, was it nice there? It looks pretty."
|
"it was exactly as you saw it. It was peaceful, there was always food, and it felt like nothing was wrong..."
Ike trailed off in his own thoughts for a while, and then returned to his normal train of thought. |
IC: Sturg was startled at the Scrab's sudden appearance. But many other animals had been cautious to his presence, being a rather 'rare' species, perhaps trying to talk to it would be a possibility. He turned to the Scrab and growled "What are you doing here, Scrab? If it's food you're after there's nothing here that's easy pickings. Best go find some of those nice Scrab Cakes in the abandoned part of the factory..." Sturg hoped that perhaps mentioning how nice Scrab Cakes were might spook it enough to make it think twice about attacking, presuming that's what it was doing...if it knew they were even in there in the first place. Sturg glanced to Jim, using one of his small arms to try to point to the gun. It may not be necassary, but just in case, maybe even only a warning shot or two.
|
IC: Scrabbers thought to himself "S-s-scrab Cakes? They eat scrabs?" and this scared Scrabbers a little. He didn't want to fight this thing, but he didn't want to get hurt himself. Scrabbers thought about these scrab cakes and then growled to the creature "I don't want any trouble...I don't want to hurt you or your friend, all I came in here for was too get away from the other scrabs and paramites that have been bullying me for my...abnormal body and 6 legs." Scrabbers hoped that the creature wouldn't attack him and then growled again "Who are you, anyway? And who is your friend? I have never seen anything like you two here before...just what creature are you?" Scrabbers waited for a reply from the creature or his friend.

Time 4 bed...
ic:
*Being quite disappointed by Dionysia's cold reply to her kindness, Shickwayla simply said...* Shickwayla: "Well, alright then. Suit yourself. Just know that you can always trust us." *Opple looked up and saw that the sky above her was slowly getting darker, she decieded it was about time to get some rest at the R+R.* Opple: *yawns*"Come on, sis. I'm gettin' tired. Lets go to bed." Shickwayla: "Okay. Sounds good to me." *Turns to leave with Opple.* "See ya later, Dionysia." *Both go to the R+R and hit the hay, hopping for a better day tomorrow...* |

Lenny bursts in the cafeatria
Lenny: Hello all!!!! *Vester follows but then sees the scrab legs and lumbers over* Vester:Mmmmmm Food... *Gets food and sits at nearest table. he watches Lenny running around. Lenny is getting over excited and is running around in circles yelling* Vester:Happy....*Looks at food and begins to eat, oblivious to anything else* |

Tiny giggled and looked around the huge room. "So have you ever got in trouble at work before? I've did bad stuff before, but no one really found out so...I dunno."
-- Dimitrio stumbled weakly out of the train, breaking his fall on the hard metal floor with his mechanical arm. Getting up, he looked around the unfamiliar place nervously, taking a slow fearful walk like he was in a dark forest. He'd just leapt on the train at random and hadn't been thinking at all about it, he had just wanted to escape. He knew anyone who had worked at the Slig Barracks would had known he was to be brought back and punished. So he'd snuck onto a train and came off when he knew it was far away from where he used to work. Looking around, he froze like a rabbit in the headlights of a car when he saw a familiar figure step off the train, too terrified to get the sense to run. The female slig stepped off the train, looking around her before sighing and taking the piece of paper out of the gun holder on her right mechanical leg. Opening it, it folded out and she read it. "Let's see, Abe, Munch, Tiny, Dimitrio...Like I'm actually gonna find any criminals today..." Putting it back, she looked over and froze when she saw the slig standing there, recognising him too well. "YOU!" He was unable to move from fear as she walked closer, glaring at him darkly, with her hand near her gun if needed. "Did you really think you could get away with this? Freeing some of the last mudokon slaves, being sentenced to see Skillya and then running?" Before he'd gotten fired, she liked him more than the other sligs there. He wouldn't talk about her behind her back, stir up trouble or sleep while on duty. But now he was a fugitive, and her job came first to her. "Well, you've got two choices, the easy way." her glare darkened. "Or the hard way." He remained frozen, before fidgeting slightly, and breaking into a sudden sprint. Screaming in frustration, the two began a mad chase around the train station. |
Got two more fellows:
Name: Cylepso Species:Female slig Age:21 Personality: Mean and bossy, but is nice and incredibly loyal to her friends. Apperance:Green with her tentacles edged in black. Wears a black top. Equipment: a shotgun and rifle Other things:Can beat up anyone, as she is a balck-belt. She once beat up a BigBro who called her friend a stupid mute. If she cant beat the person up she'll use emotional blackmail or manipulate them, as most sligs are stupid. She is actually a kind and loving slig, as she will take care of any hurt animal or person, as she has a strong motherly love for those who respect her. *** Name:Sebastion, Seb for short. Species:Intern Age:19 Personality:Unlike most Interns Seb doesnt tourture creatures and has no love for sadisium(?), so he got fired from Vykkers labs. He was a spectactular shot at his snuzi though, so he was employed by other places. Equipment: A snuzi and a high powered machine gun.Alos has a necklace with the oddworld inhabitants logo, which he wont tell anyone where he got it. Other: Only Cylepso can understand him so he became bestfriends with her. He is nearly deaf from all the music that is constantly being pounded into his head. **** The two friends steped from the feeco train. Cylepso signed and shook her head. Then Seb got her attention by given off muffled laughter. She turned and saw two sligs running around. Cylepso:Look, a chick slig! Cool! *She starts to hop up and down calling. Seb:Mhhmhf, mhffhpmf? *He gives her sidelong look* Cylepso:Whadda mean? She seems friendly, Hey, seb, shot that slig she chasing in his knee caps. *Seb nods and pulls out his machine gun, aims and fires two bullets* ----------- *Lenny is still running in circles, then he falls over and begins to have a fit on the ground* *Vester glances up* Uhhhh? |
OOC:hey skillyaslig? I think you should post your characters in the profile thread...
Ike responded to Tiny, "Nope... this is the first job I will have ever gotten. And you "did some stuff"? What do ya' mean?" Ike's brain was working hard to figure out what this slig could have done that could've gotten him in trouble. He seemed to timid to start fights, and probably had too much pride to squeel on any others that might have done wrong... Ike was extremely puzzled. |
OOC: I haven't vanished off Terra's face, I'm just waiting for Slaveless.
|
Vester snorted and went to Lenny, who had stopped moving and was in a twisted heap on the ground.
Vester: Lenny? Lenny:....gharrkkk... *Vester shook him, but Lenny stayed in a twisted postion, then something bad happened-Vester panicked* Vester:Arrkk! Help! Help! Slig down! SLIG DOWN! *He starts to screech and hoping up and down, causing the entire room to shake* Vester:HELP!!! |
IC: It was only then that Sturg noticed the Scrab's deformities. It seemed to be telling the truth about not wanting a fight, anyway. So he decided to answer it's questions "This place is Rupturefarms, a factory that makes meat products from captured animals. It got blown up a while ago, and is now under new management. Scrab Cakes were one of their products, as well as Paramite Pies and Elum Chubs. There are still some in crates in the older, abandoned parts of the factory containing some of these, which I have relied on for food from time to time. This here is a Mudokon, one of the species that works in Rupturefarms, used as slaves before being put under it's new management. Now anyone who works there does it voluntarily. I am a Meech, myself...the rest of my species is presumed extinct, or was by Rupturefarms. I'm not sure what scale of the planet they covered, so there may be some others left, but not anywhere near here...what about you? Who exactly are you? Scrabs generally bite first, ask questions later..."
|
IC: Scrabbers now had known why he had been put here. He was livestock to be made into food products. He then heard the meech say that he was the last of his species. Scrabbers then said "Well, my name is Scrabbers. I was thrown out of my herd after they were dissapointed with me and sometime later I was caught by some sligs. They captured me and took me here and when I got here I didn't even know what the people did so I was frightened and confused. The creatures here bullied me and were very greedy as they stole food from me and then pushed me away. If I was a normal scrab I could have fought them of but the creatures easily got the better of me. I haven't been anywhere else other than these parts of the Stockyards and I finally thought that I would come in here. All the creatures here despise me and fight me but I can easily dodge them and if they prove more of a problem my legs can easily knock them down because they are far more and much more powerful than a normal scrabs, hence my quick speed. But may I ask, what are you doing here in the first place? And is there anything else about RuptureFarms I should know about?"
|
Tiny looked around nervously as he heard the two sligs that were chasing each other in the train station screech in the background. He leant closer to whisper to Ike. "Everyone kept on picking on me, so I took some steroid thingies when I wasn't really allowed to so they'd leave me alone...But then the bigger biggy bro sligs started picking on me too so I took some more, but then I started getting too big, so I stopped...No one seems to have found out aboout it yet..."
|
Dimitrio screamed like a rabbit as the bullets hit his pants, and carried on running before tripping on the floor. The female slig hauled him up by the arms, turning them behind his back and holding them together. "Thanks..." She muttered in Cylepso's direction, before he moved his arm, accidently whacking her on the face and knocking her mask clean off her face. She stumbled backwards as he bolted off again, falling onto the floor and holding her bare face, which had a large shiny black eye at each side. She gasped as she searched the floor for it, eventually colapsing in a gasping heap. "Can't...Breathe...Damn fugitives..."
-- Dimitrio kept on running, not caring where he was going, before he winded up in the cafeteria, before seeing the two sligs, one panicking, the other taking a fit. He ran over and kneeled next to him, looking up at the other. "What's wrong with him?" |
(ooc : Sorry, if i have the worst english in this forum, and btw, im new, so just try to get over it =])
Anza look out of window, and saw the rupture farms station. "Well, its time to get a job." - Anza whispers to himself. Few steps from train, and the smell of factory just go trought Anzas nose. "Ewww.." - Anza thought and slap himself to face. "I must get used for that!" - He told to himself, and started walk towards Rupture Farms main enterance. Anza opened the doors and looked around. No one was at his sight. "Anyone here?" - Anza yells and waited for answer. No answer, so Anza just sit on the chair and waited for anyone to come there. |
