All other characters ( Kilsa , huey , dewey and Srag ) seem as dead as that mouse I found under my house yesterday with its head bitten off

You know it's that kind of comment that made you unpopular last time. Go read the new RPG rules thread.


I've just PMed Slaveless, and I'll talk to Dripik next time he's on MSN.

If Muse doesn't post soon I'm just gonna ignore Muse and Jammer and have Krik walk past them.

Thanks for your appearance Chubfish. I don't think you mentioned Scrabbers being able to talk mudokon/slig/glukkon/etc so until further notice I'm going to assume they're talking animal language.

IC:
Scrab bursts through door. Meech blocks door. Jim was expecting the scrab to eat the meech any second. He was completely oblivious to the scrab's abnormalities, partly because Sturg was blocking the view, but also because he was too scared to look. He backed against the far wall, ignoring the gun lying on the floor. Part of him telling him to dive through the door and run upstairs (could scrabs climb stairs?) and part of him telling him not to abandon Sturg.
Somi crept up to him and said quietly, "It sounds friendly."
Jim gave her a petrified look. "A friendly scrab?"
The paramite did what for a paramite counts as a shrug. "I've met friendly scarbs before."

Dionysia remained sitting on the roof. The Sun was setting and she shivered in the cold, but didn't move. She didn't want to have to face any people, but then sitting up here all night probably wouldn't do her any good.
She'd stay on the roof as long as she could bear the cold and then sneak down. She was hungry, but...

Chubfish 04-09-2007 10:30 AM

OOC: He can't speak Mudokon/Slig/Glukkon as he was once a wild scrab and he has only just met this mudokon and this is the first time he has saw one.

IC: Whilst Scrabbers was talking to the Meech, he had only just noticed that the mudokon in the room was backing away and cowering in fear of him and that a paramite had been in there as well. Scrabbers growled to the paramite "Who are you? Are you one of the meech's friends? Please don't hurt me...I only came here to avoid other creatures in the Stockyards." Scrabbers further approached the room, with caution.

Zerox 04-09-2007 11:16 AM

IC: "Oh, that's Somi. She's friendly, I doubt she'd try to hurt you. I was captured here a long time ago before the original farm was destroyed, placed in the stockyards with some other Meeches. I hid in a dark corner while the rest were bundled out, and since then a few packs of Paramites had been put in there and taken away. They, being newly placed in, were generally not in the mood to start a fight, and I'd always hide so I wouldn't get taken away with the others. When the farm was destroyed, some animals like me were still left in the stockyards. No other meeches at that point...over time, and because of the explosion, many of us were able to get closer to the farm, and into the stocked products and various other places. After a while, I met Somi there, met two Mudokons, one of which is here, and so we looked for water for a garden that one of them is growing. We found a large resevoir at the top of the tower. One of them went to find...something. I can't remember, she's been gone a while now. I sat here getting bored until you showed up, pretty much...where is she, anyway?" Sturg said, as he shook in irritation at having to wait for the Mudokon, still.
"Hmm, I dunno about Sligs, since Mudokons aren't slaves anymore...Jim, are Sligs so bad?" Sturg thought on that note...if Mudokons and Sligs worked together side by side, what about other Oddworldian species? Maybe even a few animals for labour work...he'd save that thought for later.

skillyaslig 04-09-2007 03:46 PM

*Vester looked at the slig who had come in* Please, help! My friend was running then he fell and then went funny!
*Lenny twitched and made a funny gurgling sound, making the distrested Vester start to cry.*
*Vester then turned and sized the slig and said: Help, Please!!
----------
Cylepso saw the female slig fall. She started to run forward towards her. Seb followed.
Cylepso: Hey, ya'll right? *She knelt beside the female.
*Seb glanced nervously at the massive BigBro and mud who were away off then saw the slig that the female was chasing dissapear into RF*
Seb:Mmmmfgghh? Mppghfffrr.
Cylepso:What? Oh go and get that slig she was chasing and kick his a** okay?
*Seb, umm frowned but then hurried after the other slig.*
Cylepso to the female: You want your mask?

Arxryl 04-09-2007 07:39 PM

Ike slowly understood what Tiny was saying.

"Oh... well, you don't have to be afraid of anything like that here I don't think. I've seen some pretty nice people." Ike shuffled his feet a bit, and then scratched the back of his head. He wasn't really good at continuing conversations.

skillyaslig 04-10-2007 02:29 AM

Seb walks into the main entrance of RF. He sees a mud sitting in a chair and waved a skinny arm before carring down a corridor, then he bursts into the cafeteria. He saw three sligs, a armoured bigbro, a normal one kneeling beside another which lay in a twiching heap on the ground. He walked over to the one kneeling and jabbed the back of its head with his snuzi.
---------
Vester sees the intern as it comes up and pokes the other slig.
Vester:You docter?
Lenny:.....Gharrrkkkk.......
----------
Cylepso sees the females mask and snatches it up and hands it to the female.
Cylepso:Here, got ya mask backa. (note, not a spelling mistake)

Chubfish 04-10-2007 04:16 AM

IC: Scrabbers listened too the meech well and asked "How do I get to the other areas of RuptureFarms? Like the place were they used to keep stocked products and such...it would be nice to have a good meal than find scraps left on the floor for once. Is there anything dangerous in the places we can now get too other than creatures? Scrabbers thought about what might be in there, and then thought about being captured by sligs in his early life which made him want to go back and get revenge. Then he thought about the consequences...and what would happen if he did. Scrabbers then told the meech "I'm going to go to find these stocked products, if you like to help me find them you can but i might just be getting in your way here if you came. Still, it is your choice."

OOC: I still need too know the meech's name!

Zozo the Zrilufet 04-10-2007 04:19 AM

She shoved the mask back on her face, resuming her normal breathing. "Thanks for that..." She said to Cylepso. "I don't have a name, but the closest thing to a name I have is Agent 80085..." She glared. "Did you see where that fugitive went? He's a fired slig, he was supposed to go be shipped to face Skillya, but he made a run for it....I'm the one that went easy on that little chancer..."
--
Dimitrio looked at the large big bro, not sure what to do, freezing as he felt the gun on the back of his head, terrified. A high pitched whine escaped his mouth.

Zozo the Zrilufet 04-10-2007 04:24 AM

"Uhhh, okay..." Tiny answered to Ike. "D'ya think we'll get a good job? I don't really like guns, is there any jobs that don't have guns here?"

OOC: :DI like this guy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lBQWUR3u7U&NR=1

dripik 04-10-2007 07:46 AM

OOC: No need to worry, I'm still around, I just returned from the usual Easter trip. Let's see...

Zozo, that would be welcome in the Stupid Sh*t Thread, not here. I suppose it's not related to the current events here.

Welcome to all the new RPers! So far, I can't see anything wrong, though I usually prefer new players having just one, maybe a pair of characters. But if you can keep up with them, it's fine by me. I just know this by experience - sometimes, it's hard to think of anything for 5 characters to do.

Chubfish, Zerox's Meech is called Sturg.

Anza, your grammar seems OK to me, and you had a good entry too. Keep it up.

Sorry about #7 Slig, MM, will answer right away.

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

"I guess you surgeons know what you're doing." said #7 Slig, walking past the workshop. The door was open, so he looked inside. Rick and RG were sitting next to the table. #7 Slig didn't said anything and carried on walking with Dek and Arthur.

"It wouldn't be a big loss, anyway..." said #7 Slig, absent-mindedly... Noticing that this wasn't clear, he added. "You know, rendering Molt incapable to move or talk or something... We don't have much use of him, do we?" he asked them.

"Like losing a bullet and finding a clip..." he thought.

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

RG was replacing the screws of his facial plate. The new was similar to the old one, except that it was grey instead of copper. But RG didn't seemed to be bothered by this. He placed his tools back into their compartments. His repairs were finished.

"So, everything's working fine?" asked Rick, looking at RG. He heard silent clicks from the robot's head.

"Heat vision... Night vision... Normal vision... Yes, all visual functions are working." said RG.

"Great. What's next?" asked Rick.

"I'll look for my gun and break the tentacles of the one who stole it." said RG simply.

"Uh, have fun. I think I'll go and have a look in the Cafeteria. Maybe I can do something there."

"You do that, organic." RG stood up from the table and left the room.

"Oh sure, Rick, thanks for helping me, I owe you one." called Rick mockingly after the robot, but RG didn't turn back. Rick left the room, and headed to the Cafeteria.

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

Arnie looked at the crowd. "OK, everyone who wants a job, follow me. We'll have a look in the factory."

Zozo the Zrilufet 04-10-2007 07:53 AM

Looking at the glukkon, Tiny followed, trying not to step on anyone else.

OOC: :DNow I just have to find this Stupid S**t thread.

Reiji Neko Mitsukai 04-10-2007 09:31 AM

Aida remained towards the back of the group. She wondered if she was ever going to be able to give Arnie the letter she was told to deliver to him when she finally managed to get a job there.

skillyaslig 04-10-2007 02:40 PM

Seb blinks and then says to the kneeling slig:Mpphh happrh. *He then goes over to one of the tables, snatches up a water bottle and goes back to Lenny. Then he pours all the water over Lennys head.* *Points gun back at Dimitrio*
-------
Vester squels in delight as Lenny hacks and retches
Lenny:Arkkkkk!
*Vester lunges towards Seb, meaning to embrace him* Oh thank you! You save friend!
*Seb hurriedly leaps out of the way.
----------
Cylepso:Seb probably have found that other slig...I think he went off in to RF...I'll call for him in there, come on!
*She strolls toward the RF entrance.*

Zozo the Zrilufet 04-10-2007 02:46 PM

Dimitrio froze, crying out of sheer terror as he saw the gun being pointed at him, not daring to move.
--
Agent 80085 followed Cylepso to the cafeteria, looking around the huge building. "So what do you do for a living? Interesting to see other non queen female sligs here..."

skillyaslig 04-10-2007 02:54 PM

Cylepso:I just guard stuffa...Usally with my friend Seb..Oh look! There he is! And hes got that little dirt scrubber...
--------
*Seb sees the two girls and waves, though he still is keeping a sharp eye on Dimitrio, and Vester, whos attempting to hug him*
--------
Vester sees Lenny getting up and veers towards him:Oh your alive! Oh goodie good!
*He picks up Lenny in his massive armoured arms and hugs him so hard Lenny cant breath*

Zozo the Zrilufet 04-10-2007 03:07 PM

Dimitrio cried hopelessly while Agent hauled his arms behind his back and held tightly. "Got'cha! Now run off again and I swear!-" She was cut off as he howled like a toddler that had tripped. "...Uh...Okaaaay, don't cry, I'm just gonna...." She thought for a moment. "Bring you back so you can get shipped to Skillya and die possibly?" She muttered, sighing and looking at Cylepso. "Great, so I'm gonna get someone killed, I feel juuust great...What am I supposed to do now? Get him killed or something stupid that will cost me my job?" Dimitrio whined louder. "Alright, quit crying like a larva and I might just think of something to save your hide!"

skillyaslig 04-10-2007 03:12 PM

Cylepso frowned:Well what did he even do? Must be somethin' bad to have ta go and see mum...
Seb:Hmmmppprhhh? Mhhhrpphhrr.
Cylepso:Exactly.
---------
Vester puts down Lenny gently: Oh you poor lil' sliggie!
Lenny:Hey, hey! Im alright!

Zozo the Zrilufet 04-10-2007 03:15 PM

Agent sighed. "He freed mudokons from slavery, there's been a severe shortage of them in places after the stuff that Abe b****** did..." Dimitrio was still and silent, apart from the occasional shaking sob.

skillyaslig 04-10-2007 04:05 PM

Cylepso frowned and looked at the sobbing Dimitrio;then she walked over to him and then she grasped him and embraced him in a warm hug. She patted the back of his head and made soothing noices: there there...It will be alright..She cooed, like a mother to her child.
Seb glanced at Agent and rolled his eyes and shook his head.
---------
Vester had picked up Lenny and was holding him in his arms:What happen? You fell and went funny...
Lenny squrimed out of Vesters grip:Im alright! Just a bit sore from falling over...Im fine!

Zozo the Zrilufet 04-10-2007 04:12 PM

Dimitrio sobbed and held her back, hysterical, as Agent 80085 shook her head. She walked over to him and patted his back. "Alright...Maybe I won't bring you back so you can go to-" He leapt at her in a hug. "Okaaaay, thanks, you're welcome...... Alright, just get off! Your mechanical arm is bruising me!" He let go, blushing and looking away. She shook her head. "What am I supposed to do with you?" "Not kill me?" "Haha, don't be a wise guy or I'll change my mind! Now if anyone else finds out that I let you go, then.... Screw it, I don't know..." "You mean like the other four people in the room?" "Shut up!"

skillyaslig 04-10-2007 04:18 PM

Cylepso looked at Vester and Lenny and waved a fist at them: You wont tell will you? Or I'll rearange yor faces.
*Looks at Seb then a Agent* Cylepso: Dont worry, Seb wont tell, and even if he does, its not like anyone can understand him, Haha-Ow what was that for?
Seb, who had whacked her over the head with his hand said:Hmmpprrhp mffrrraaap mphhharrah.
Cylepso: Good good! *Looks at Agent* is anyone else looking for him or...?
Vester: we wont tell.
Lenny: Yes! We wont, but in echange, will you be my friends?

Zozo the Zrilufet 04-10-2007 04:23 PM

"Not that I know..." Agent looked at Dimitrio. "I doubt anyone else from the Slig Barracks is here looking for him..." Dimitrio looked at Lenny. "Uhh...I guess so?..." "....Don't look at me. Anyway, anyone seen an abnormally large big bro anywhere? This slig stole some steroids, we've been on to him for quite a while now."

skillyaslig 04-10-2007 04:27 PM

Seb blinks and says:Mpphhhrp hmmmepsggff!
Cylepso: what?!
Vester; lets go Lenny...I dont like other Biggie bros...They spit at me...
Cylepso:well tell me if they do and I'll kick thier a***!
Lenny: You need to meditate...Where is the boss? come on Vester! Lets go and find the boss! or bosses...*they exit the cafeteria with Lenny singing*
Cylepso to Seb: Idiot!

Zozo the Zrilufet 04-10-2007 04:33 PM

Dimitrio looked confused as he watched the two leave, as Agent took her small gun and toyed with it in her hand. "Those two dipsticks remind me of that big bro I'm looking for, only they're all happy and junk..." Dimitrio edged nervously away from the gun as she walked around the cafeteria. "Right, DImitrio, whatever you do is up to you, just don't get caught or you're on your own..." "Ummm....Thanks..." He muttered, looking around the large room at the food.

skillyaslig 04-10-2007 04:35 PM

Cylepso:Idiot! Jezz why didnt you tell me?!
Seb glares at her:Hmmppffh mappfrrh!
That shuts her up. She looks at agent and calls: Oi! Seb saw a really bigbro before...He says it unnaturaly big for one of 'em. Is that the slig?

Zozo the Zrilufet 04-10-2007 04:38 PM

Agent sniffed, putting her gun back. "Maybe...Is he immature, doesn't carry guns and looks suspicious?" Dimitrio ate some of the food nervously, watching the three in silence. "Reminds me of Tiny...." "It is Tiny, fugitive."
OOC: :)Me go to bed.

skillyaslig 04-10-2007 04:58 PM

Seb shrugged and then said:Mpppffgghhhhf, ffappphhh maffggprm.
Cylepso blinked: He is big, no guns and timid looking...Seb didnt talk to him though. What did Tiny do emm? Free some slaves or...?
-------
Vester and Lenny are walking down a corridor, then arupty Vester stops. His eyes dimed and he slumps to the ground.
Lenny:You alright?
Vester:Snnnnnnoooooooorrrrrr......
Lenny: 0h for oddsake...*He goes to Vester and tries to shove him forward. Vester moves and then his massive arm falls onto Lenny, pinning him to the floor.
Lenny: Arkk! Get off!!
*Vester stays asleep, ignoring Lennys cries.*

Arxryl 04-10-2007 07:08 PM

Ike looked at Arnie who had just told them to follow him. Tiny was already ahead of him, so Ike figured he needed to get going. He followed the group, barely containing his excitement... He was going to help people.

Zerox 04-11-2007 02:43 AM

OOC: The Meech's name is Sturg.

IC: The Scrab wanted to go find this food...it had been a while since Sturg had eaten anything anyway, and he was getting bored of waiting. So he said to Somi "The Scrab wants me to help him find something, and I'm getting kinda bored here anyway, so I'll come back later, alright?" He then turned to the Scrab and said "Okay then, I'll help you find them if you come with me, alright?"

Splat 04-11-2007 03:07 AM

ooc: Yeah, but Scrabbers doesn't know that.

Zoxo, Skillyaslig, please try not to post so much in just a day! Even if you are the only two posting at the time it's daunting to come and see a wall of posts between just two members. i don't really want to read all that!

IC:
Somi nodded. "I can look after Jim here."
Jim looked surprised as Sturg left the tower. "Where's he going?" He asked loudly.
"To show the scrab around."
"What! What if the scrab tries to eat him or something!"
"I told you, that scrab's nice."
Jim gave her a look that suggested he didn't believe 'scrab' and 'nice' could go in the same sentence (unless they had the words "thinks you taste" between them).
Somi did the action that for a paramite passes for rolling her eyes.
The effect was completely ruined on Jim who knew more about brain surgery than he did about paramite expressions.

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

The train station was rapidly descending into chaos, so Krik was somewhat relieved when his own train rolled in. With an angry grunt he stormed into the train and left Rupture Farms.
He'd be back, sooner or later. In his opinion, later would be more preferable.

Zozo the Zrilufet 04-11-2007 03:50 AM

OOC: :DSorry Splat, it was a late night, and I guess I was bored...
EDIT: :DHaha, Splat called me Zoxo, it sounds like Moxco. and oxo cubes.

Zerox 04-11-2007 04:11 AM

OOC: That's why I said it!

IC: Slash flew around above the plains of Oddworld. Nothing was visible in the distance for a long time. He searched and searched...he then finally spotted something. Smoke came up. Then he heard a loud noise, and looked down to see a Glukkon faced train rocket past. "This must be the Feeco Depot it talked about" thought Slash, thinking of his old boss. he flew on over to it.
Inside, few Oddworldians paid him much attention, to busy to catch their trains. Some other Sligs gave him odd looks, since he was carrying a gun as opposed to grenades and having the odd flying gear. He ignored them and read some notices. He found one that seemed interesting, mentioning some Rupturefarms looking for employees. He then heard a Sligs voice declaring "Train to Rupturefarms, leaving in 5 minutes". He better find the train quick.
He searched the complex, and eventually found a sign pointing to a train saying "Rupturefarms". He hadn't bought a ticket, didn't really know how, and didn't have the time. The sneakily flew between two carriages and held on as the train lurched out of the station.
------------------------------
After a few hours, Slash felt the train slowing. he quickly flew away and toward the factory. He noticed much of it seemed damaged and in disrepair, then remembering a radio article saying some Mudokon terrorist had destroyed it. he then looked down and saw a few people running around. he flew down and said to one "Hey, do you know where new employees go to register?" The guy merely made a sort howling noise. He asked again, and got the same answer, before it ran off and started eating some corpse. "Huh?" Slash thought "Could this really be what a Scrab is supposed to look like naturally? But what is it doing here, in a factory, running wild? It's an animal..." Confused, he flew off toward what looked like a more improved part of the factory above the animals.
He looked around the factory, trying to avoid the others. He didn't want to look like some lost idiot before being employed, damnit...after a while, he heard a noise, like a rabble, before seeing a Glukkon in a green suit witht he RF logo on it...he had a massive cigar. Slash guessed that this must be the big boss, based on what knowledge he had. Eager to start work, he flew over to the Glukkon and said "Hey, uh, uh, uh..." he stuttered a bit, before regaining his composure "Hey, I was thinking of getting a job here, I found a notice at Feeco. Maybe as a guard...oh, sorry!" he said quickly, realising he had floated too close to the Glukkon and went back a little, careful not to hit anyone behind him. He waitedd eagerly for a positive reply, but secretly worried the Glukkon would be angry at his sudden appearence...

skillyaslig 04-11-2007 04:27 AM

Yeah... My bad :D it was fun though to have someone actually replie to my characters

Zozo the Zrilufet 04-11-2007 05:28 AM

Agent heard Lenny and Vester, watching Dimitrio. "Tiny used steroids without permission, there's been a shortage of them, no thanks to him..." Dimitrio picked at some of the nervously while she held her gun. "Well, I'm off to look for him..." She said, exiting the cafeteria as Dimitrio stood there.

skillyaslig 04-11-2007 05:49 AM

Seb looked at Dimitrio and then reached up and clasped his necklace. He frowned(?) as he studied the aura surround this slig; it was very different from any other sligs aura, even Cylepsos one. He blinked and then shrugged his boney shoulders and relesed the amulet.
Cylepso: Come on, Seb, lets go find the big cheese whos running this place. * They both go to the doors* *Then Cylepso turns and waves at Dimitrio* you stay outta trouble mkay? (not spelling error!)
-------
Vester: Snnnnnnnoooooooorrrrrr......
*Lenny gives up trying to move Vesters arm and goes to sleep as well.*

Well im off, ate too much choc and feel sick. Damn cheap easter eggs! Night all.

Zozo the Zrilufet 04-11-2007 05:57 AM

OOC: :DI already destroyed my easter eggs a while ago...:DAnd the two creme eggs and flakes that came with them.

IC
Dimitrio nodded, picking at the food while Agent made her way to the grinding room. She stepped past the sleeping big bros, glaring at the small crowd in the grinding room with Arnie. "He's right there, he's the huge big bro talking to the mudokun...."
--
Tiny looked back behind him, seeing the glaring slig. Nervous, he began walking faster as she tried to sneak up to him unnoticed.

anzathemanza 04-11-2007 06:49 AM

Anza finaly got bored just to sit down on a chair, so he jump up, and taked few steps forward, and hit his head to factory map.
"... I hate those damn signs all over the place. My head is already full of cuts and bumps after the feeCo trains WC!" - Anza shouted. He decided to explore the first floor a bit. "Maybe i meet the boss, and i can register my self and get work!" - He tought. "Oh, an elevator! Finally." Anza rushed to elevator and hit the buttons few times, but nothing happened. It seems that elevators are broken. "Aww man! Why everything is going so badly to day! Its not even friday 13th." Anza finally got enough, and headed to map, and start looking at it...

Chubfish 04-11-2007 07:37 AM

IC: Scrabbers, delighted to hear that Sturg wanted to come with him, growled "Thank you" and they went off in search of the food stocks and left the tower.

OOC:Sorry for the short post, I didn't know what to type since Sturg is leading the way and nothing else could really have been said...

Zerox 04-11-2007 07:55 AM

IC: Sturg led them out into the open. No animals were immediately nearby. He was almost surprised no others seemed to have cottoned on to the tower...the two wandered on for a while. Finally, they came near to somewhere "Ah, I think we're close", hearing the noise of a Scrab howl in the distance. They entered through a few, unused rooms. Finally, they found some crates of various sizes "This is it. Take yer pick of what's around here." Fortunately, not too many other creatures were interested in this food source at the moment, or ever were, otherwise it seemed unlikely there'd be any left. Sturg sniffed at a few boxes, sniffed one that appealed to him, and tore through the old, rotting wood, spilling some Elum Chubs onto the floor. This seemed more natural (if it could be considered natural in any way whatsoever) than eating any of the different products. He ripped open a packet with his teeth and began eating the contents.

Chubfish 04-11-2007 09:40 AM

IC: Scrabbers followed Sturg out of the tower and through the stockyards. He could hear paramites clicking and scrabs shrieking as they got closer to the food stores. When they arrived, Scrabbers teared open a crate which contained Scrab Cakes. He ate them unaware of what they were but he didn't really mind what it was as he was starving. He searched through more of the crates and found more food produce including Elum Chubs, Paramite Pies and Meep Munchies. Scrabbers then said "That was filling...I never knew Meep Munchies tasted so good."
