OOC: "Aye!"
At this rate, I think we had ought to do just that. Suspend it for a while, and then hope everyone can come back for more fun. Just do this last hour first.:D |
OOC:
Yes please! I think everyone needs a break. I'll be happy to come back, I'm just having a little trouble squeezing between family members to get to the computer ;) IC: Chag's head was spinning, all this chaos was going to his head.. he needed space, he needed some calm, he needed to get away. A subway was no place for an ace pilot. He looked down at his allies, they wouldn't miss him. He briefly considered throwing his grenade, but he was barely in the state for that. [M] Chag dizzily moves to F. |
OOC:
I agree. I'll be back, I just think we should get our guys through hour 21 and to room F first since it might be difficult to jump right back in at an action scene ;) Slig# 5719 says "Aye!" :p |

HOUR TWENTY-ONE
=============== Group moving is now in effect. Every character will follow Furlong and automatically move without player intervention. IC: Furlong felt a tremble beneath his legs. "This place is coming down! Everyone move it!", Furlong ran as fast as he could go to F, where the entrance to the lab was thankfully open. He waited for everyone to get inside then hit the button on the wall to close the door before everyone was crushed under the debris. "Phew we made it, Everyone okay?" [M] Furlong moves to F. (everyone follows) Randy gasped as he felt more out of breath than before. Unit 23 shrugged and reloaded his gun. OOC: Okay everyone, let's kick this up again. |
IC: Kipricat had been waiting for the order, and dashed off in the direction of F as soon as the words escaped Furlong's mouth. Running faster than he should, he got inside just a bit behind Furlong. Taking a few deep breaths, he rested himself with his hands on his knees. Hoping everyone had made it in, Kipricat continued his panting for another minute. Mumbling something that was probably best left muffled by his stitches, he examined himself for any more physical injuries
[M] Kipricat moves to F [E] Kipricat does a medical check on himself. |
IC:
Zalik pulled his Drill out of the Hellhound Slog and ran after he heard Furlong's order. The ceiling was coming down on top of him and it was only a matter of time before it wasn't the cieling anymore. Zalik pushed himself as hard as he could, he wasn't used to running and he only barely made it through with the others. When Furlong closed the door behind them Zalik slung himself down against a wall. "That...was...close" he struggled between breaths. His mind wandered back to his Blitzknife, he pulled it out. The weapon wouldn't start so Zalik tried a combination of pressing buttons and smacking the hilt against the wall. [M] Zalik follows everyone to F [E] Zalik tries to repair the Blitzknife *Dice Roll* OOC: Back at the end of "Hour 20" were Zalik and Unit 23 hurt by the monsters? |

Kipricat: Critically Injured -> Healthy [E] Zalik tries to repair the Blitzknife. 4 - BlitzKnife is repaired to full working order. HOUR TWENTY-TWO =============== F - Lab Facility Entrance This is the entrance to the Lab. The door is now open and a corridor is visible. Blood stains and limbs are scattered around the walls and floors. IC: Suddenly a squelching noise is heard as a strange creature moves around the corner. It's dark green ooze slithers around the floor and stops when it senses the team. It forms into a Tall Blob. Another noise is heard as a similar creature forms into a Wide Blob. "Here we go again, I got the Tall Blob", Furlong says. He picks up his pistol and takes aim. Randy nodded, while Unit 23 ran towards the other one. [A] Furlong shoots at the Tall Blob with his Arctic Vulture. *DR* [QH] Furlong shoots at the Tall Blob with his Arctic Vulture. *DR* [A] Randy attacks Tall Blob with a Rocket Launcher. *DR* [A] Unit 23 stabs the Wide Blob with his Blitzknife. *DR* [QH] Unit 23 stabs the Wide Blob with his Blitzknife. *DR* OOC: Glad to have everyone back! |
OOC: "Everyone" seems to be just me and slig# 5719...
IC: Kipricat found that he had a couple of cuts and bruises her and there, but nothing very serious. 'Those medical packs sure are effective,' he thought to himself. That was all he had time to think about, because at that moment a sickening squelching noise was heard. It turned out to be two strange blob-like creatures. Making a quick decision, Kipricat fired at the wide blob. [A] Kipricat fires a rocket at the wide blob [QH] Kipricat fires another rocket at the wide blob. |
IC:
Zalik continued to hit the Blitzknife against the wall when suddenly the weapon sprung back to life. "See, who needs electronic skills? just smack em a few times!" he said to himself with satisfaction. He then noticed his surroundings, he was too tired to notice before but there was blood and body parts all over the place. The shock caused him to jump back up with a yell. Zalik began to hear a squelching sound originating from a dark green, slimey mass of a creature, followed quickly by another. He ran up to the taller blob, although not expecting it to be very effective, he thrust his Blitzknife into the creature. [A] Zalik stabs at the Tall Blob with his Blitzknife *Dice Roll* OOC: I agree, it looks like it's only the three of us at the moment, STM and MM might come back, but if they don't, bring on the challenges I say! :D And if Zalik dies in the process I'll do my best to write up a good scene for him, what more can I offer than that? |

OOC: I am fairly certain Kip picked up a chainsaw somewhere, but if he did not, just pretend it's his SMG.
IC: Deciding it might be a waste of his valuable rockets to shoot at the tall blob, which everyone was already shooting at, he stowed it away, and replaced it with a chainsaw. Darting forward, he slashed at the tall blob twice, before retreating almost instantly. [A] Kipricat slashes the tall blob with his chainsaw [QH] Kipricat slashes the tall blob with his chainsaw |
OOC:
It's not fair of me to keep everyone guessing like this, so I'll get Chag to meet a suitably grizzly end. Really, I'd just been putting it off since last year... IC: Chag had basically dragged himself through the last few areas, and he was becoming more and more exhausted. Somehow he felt weaker. Despite the shouting voices and gunfire around him, he barely felt able to keep conscious... He drifted slowly, landing roughly on the rubble-stewn floor, as his vision wavered in and out... His arm was going numb... A distance in front of him, some things were crawling and slithering towards him... He felt like he was going to be sick... He weakly raised his arm, and struggled to focus his cloudy vision on the tentacle scar on his wrist... The knitted green skin was darkening... The wound was growing... The grey-green infection spread down his arm... He could tell by the way the flesh sagged that the bones inside had torn loose... The deathly colour flowed across his shoulder, up his chest, around his head... His heart was beating so hard it felt like it was going to burst... The necrotic green crept across his face... "This is my end. My final thoughts. To become what I hate. Well, there goes my retirement." Dying, stupefying, decomposing... Chag's heart stopped. His eyes clouded white and glazed over. The creature that had once been a Slig rose slowly into the air, fixing his sightless glare on those who had abandoned him. OOC: Alex, you can introduce me as a special enemy if you want to give Chag a good send-off, otherwise I'll just say good luck! I'll keep reading. |
OOC: Shame... Perhaps we ought to close on up now? I like Kip too much to personally kill him off.
|
OOC:
We can't give up now, we're so close to the end IC: Zalik stabbed straight into the blob, his attack was more effective than he expected. "It seems this thing's back to it's old self" he chuckled and jumped back as the blob shuffled around, hitting a couple of other guys. Zalik ran foward with the others when Furlong issued the charge and swung his Blitzknife. Trying his best not to swing too hard and accidentily hit 23 or Kipricat. [A] Zalik attacks Tall Blob with his Blitzknife *Dice Roll* |

He looked around to see the rest of the group. They had grown stronger and more independant. His leadership had lead them to another successful mission. Now there was just one more thing they had to do. "Come on Chag, let's...", but his conversation was cut short. He looked around at Chag and noticed that Chag had stopped moving. "Chag?", he then watched as Chag began to shiver, fall to the ground and then make muffled noises of pain. Chag was dying. "Chag? What happened? CHAG! CHAAAAAAAAAAG!" Furlong ran over to Chag as quickly as he could. "SOMEONE USE A MEDICAL KIT ON HIM QUICK!", he yelled. He began the first motions of CPR. "You're not going to die Chag, you can't die... not yet..." Randy nervously approached Chag and used a Medical Kit on him. 'Chag, chag...' he mumbled. Unit 23 couldn't watch. He turned away and kept an eye out for potential threats. [E] Furlong tries everything in his power to save Chag [E] Randy uses a Medical Kit on Chag [E] Unit 23 keeps a look out for enemies. |
IC: Kipricat had never really noticed Chag,but he remembered his name. He knew him... Kind of. But there was no time for trying to remember who someone was. They needed all the help they could get, and Chag was help. But before he could help them, they'd have to help him. Kipricat searched himself for a medical kit.
(If Kipricat has a medical kit, take following actions) He found he had one. A bit squshed, but it would do. Unpacking it and using everything he could get his hands on, he hoped he was using it correctly. [E] Kip uses a medical kit on Chag. (If Kipricat has no medical kit, take following actions) Kipricat's stomach lurched as he found he had no medical kit. All he could do was stand by and watch, like an idiot. At least Randy had kept one. Shifting his weight from one leg to the other, he waited with anxiety building up. |
OOC:
I'll post at the end of the round, or beginning of the next one. |
IC:
Zalik tried his best not to panic, he had no idea what to do in this situation and no items that could help Chag. Although he didn't know Chag he was part of the team and he wanted to help in some way. Zalik looked around the room and saw most of the group around Chag, he had no medical training and 23 was already on the look out for enemies. To Zalik's mind there was only one other thing that could be of use to the group: Supplies. He quickly began to rummage around looking for any items he could find. The limbs lying around didn't aid his search or make him feel any better but while they were living the dead may have had some usefull items. [E] Zalik searches F for items |

HOUR TWENTY-FIVE ================ [M] The group moves to G G - Main Lab Along the corridor the main laboratory is here. Who knows what horrors have been lurking in here. Six computers are blinking on and off. Furlong looked around the room. "These lab machines have got to go. I have a feeling all the problems started here. Everyone pick a different machine and shoot it", he took up his pistol and started shooting the machines. Randy held his Rocket Launcher and fired. Unit 23 looked around, he was sure that something was watching them. [E] Furlong downloads all the information onto a pendrive.

Chag shuddered as the flow of searing hot stimulants coursed through his body. He had been saved from undeath... just. "Thanks, guys. *Cough*" He tried to start up his body, and managed to follow the group into the next room before stopping to clear his head. |
IC: Kipricat merrily hacked away at a computer with his chainsaw. Now they were safe. Even if this place was a bit creepy... There could not possibly be anything left.
'And everyone is alive and ay-ok! Maybe we'll get through this after all! I should really get to know the rest of the team if we do,' he thought. Switching back into "kill all things beeping" mode, he sprinted for another computer to plunge his chainsaw into, feeling giddy with destruction.

IC:
Zalik rummaged through the hallway as the others were tending to Chag. Under the limbs and other unidentifiable body parts he found a chainsaw and a sentry turret. He was slightly disappointed that none of these were helpfull to the others but he could definately use the chainsaw, it would be much easier to fight with than a drill. Zalik took the chainsaw and placed his trusty drill on the floor, he was slightly reluctant to leave the drill there, it had seen him through a couple of tight spots. He also left the sentry turret where it was, he had no idea how to use it and the group was beginning to leave. Zalik was relieved when he noticed Chag was up and about again and joined the others in destroying the lab machines. Before he started to attack the machines he did wonder why everybody was so desperate to destroy the machines, after all they might have been able to find out what was going on through those machines. The thought didn't last long though and he promptly joined the others in the destruction.

All objectives are complete. You must now leave the mission area. [A GREAT EVIL HAS BEEN AWAKENED] HOUR TWENTY-SIX =============== IC: They had done it. Their mission was completed, but not without cost. The brave engineer Yuv had tragically lost his life, his friends would never see him again. There had been injuries and near misses for the rest of the group. But the mission had been accomplished and most of the team made it this far alive. Time to head home. Furlong smiled. "That's it, mission complete. All that's left is to leave on the train... What station is it..." He rummaged around for a map of the train lines. "Aha, it's Delta Subway Line" (H) Furlong took one step before realising that something was wrong. Six green lights which had been on before had now turned to red as each Lab Machine was destroyed. When the last one turned red, an unlocking noise was heard as a metal door opened from right to left. *I just had to escape, I just had to be free* A black slimy tentacle held the edge of the doorway and out came the most sickening sight imaginable. *Coin-Flip for all characters with a Fear of Monsters: Nobody* The creature made a light chirping noise, but that was nothing compared to the noise of the slime touching the laboratory floor. It stretched it's tentacles to the ceiling. Furlong yelled "Shoot the tentacles!" Randy and Unit 23 attacked the creature.

IC: Kipricat smiled in satisfaction. They were almost out of here. Just a nice quiet train ride home now. His joy was short lived. Something big and black was making it's way over. Something... Tentacly. Kipricat would have panicked, but most people who have a rocket launcher feel a lot less fear. Grabbing it, he fired twice at each tentacle, hoping that would be enough.

IC:
Zalik swung at the machine, although his swing was off he was able to pull from his past experiences of wielding the Blitzknife and managed to alter his stance and alter his stance. He slashed through the machine with little trouble and the green light on the wall above switched to red. Zalik was slightly relieved when Furlong announced the mission completed. They had been underground for so long that Zalik had no idea how much time had passed above. He then heard the metal door opening and what seemed to be a voice, or maybe it was just his imagination. As the tentacles rose up Zalik knew this creature was nothing like what they had fought before. Having no ranged weapons except maybe throwing the mine, Zalik's only form of fighting was up close. He saw Unit 23 taking the tentacles on the right and the others using some kind of ranged weapon, which left him with space to attack tentacles on the left.

With Furlong's instruction, the team got rid of all the tentacles on the left, and most of the tentacles on the right side. With most of the tentacles gone, the Creeper would be vulnerable to weapons. "Okay everyone, this is the last assault. Destroy it and we can go home! Everyone on my mark, three, two, one, ATTACK!"

IC: Kipricat saw as the foe's tentacles died off one by one. One of them nearly hit him before it fell limp, but Kipricat was for the moment, as healthy as ever. With grim satisfaction, Kipricat took aim and waited for the command to fire. When it came, Kipricat squeezed the trigger twice. Hoping his weapon would hold out just a little bit longer, Kipricat watched as pojectiles and other squad members ran straight at the creature, hoping to take it down. 'This is it. We're getting out of here. Finally, I can take a break from all this,' he thought as his face distorted itself into an intern's smile. For those who do not know, an intern smiling is not a pretty sight.

IC:
Zalik swung his Blitzknife at the Creeper's tentacles. His weapon sliced through the flesh of one of the tentacles just as it's claws sliced through his. Zalik screached in pain and collapsed onto the floor, his vision began to blur. He put his hand to his wound across his torso, a mixture of his own blood and a glowing black ooze could be seen seeping over his hand. Zalik felt his conciousness fading and his vision left him for a moment but he could hear himself whispering monotonously. "You.......just......want.....to......be......freeeeee" Zalik suddenly snapped back to reality, his vision began to clear and he could see Randy standing over him "Th...Thank you" he managed out after a coffing fit. After his coffing and spluttering was over he stood himself up "I should be alright now, those medical kits are amazing!" he said, mainly to reasure himself. The truth however was that he felt different, as if something was gripping his insides. Zalik heard Furlong's order and made a running limp at the Creeper, it was difficult to keep up with the others but he managed slashing at the monstrous being with all his might. [A] Zalik attacks The Creeper with his Blitzknife *Dice Roll* OOC: I hope it's alright if Zalik becomes infected, if I remember correctly Chag was infected by coming into contact with a tentacle so I assumed getting slashed open by one has a similar effect. :p |

The damaged caused was unbelievable. Bullet casings and rocket shells lay everywhere. Furlong looked around, the team was battered but alive. Randy helped Unit 23 to his feet. Unit 23 said "It's over", before walking around the room. Furlong withdrew his weapons and sighed. "Okay team. Good work, now let's get out of here and onto that train" OSU's final act was to set the charges for the demolition of the Blarg Corps facility and subway lines. All the rockets and gunfire probably rendered the subway useless now, not to mention the prowling creatures. [M] Furlong moves to the Delta Subway Line (H). [E] Unit 23 uses a Medical Kit on Furlong. OOC: Zalik, Kipricat and Chag all have medical kits. Might be a good time to use them before the RPG ends :) Congrats everyone! That's all of the fighting take care of. Now to wrap up the story. The game will officially end at the end of Hour Thirty. Until then, you are welcome to chat in-character to everyone else. I'd like to hear your summary of the game and what you thought it was like. Feel free to tell me what you liked and didn't like. I would like to host another game in March. Maybe just for 7 days. I'd like everyone to check this topic again in a few days to see the Shared Experience Points everyone got and what new bonuses await you on your next adventure. It's been a real pleasure to play this game with you all for the past month. Thank you for your dedication and support throughout. New suggestions are always welcome and I am happy to welcome anyone into this RPG. Special thanks to: MeechMunchie, Oddey, Scrabtrapman, Slig #5719, Itxi and Arkaznor. I really hope to see you guys in a few months for another quest and I wish you the best of luck for this year. |
OOC: It has indeed been quite a pleasure. I enjoyed this one, more so than the last, and I say we do this again next time. There is something rather nice about a short quest RPG. I wonder if it would be possible to do an Oddworld version of say... The Thing or something.
The way I remember most of this is like this: We came in with a big team, along with two slogs. We met skelesligs, hellhound slogs, zombie big bros, mudokons and all kinds of sick creatures. Along the way, we lost some team members and some roleplayers, good chaps, all of them. And then we found our way to the lab, where we through simple error released the Creeper. We beat him with superior firepower and numbers, and we're getting out alive. Personally what I did not like was the general choice of creatures. It felt "haunted house"-like with skeletons, zombies and the like. Personally I would have liked some kind of really strange grotesque creatures unknown to anyone. Even if it was just some kind of Vykker's experiment. Skeleton sligs just don't float very well in the waters of believability, if I do say so myself. What I did like was the much more organized and simple combat methods. Rather than have to go through long OOC discussions regarding how one should attack without godmodding, you just roll a dice, and that pretty much solves all combat related problems normally encountered with other RPGs. True, this way is a tad more simple, but that is the beauty of it. Actually I pretty much like everything about The Creeper, except the choice of foes. IC: 'Oof,' thought Kipricat as he recovered from a jet of steam straight to the face. That was the last thought that passed through his mind for a few minutes. At that moment, Kipricat finally let his legs cave in. It was over, and he was alive. Lying back and relaxing for a short moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain nearly everywhere. With a somewhat shaky hand, he pulled out his medical kit and again used whatever he could find to help himself. Feeling a lot better after another few minutes, he got up, and followed Furlong to the Delta Subway line. 'Thank odd... This is over. It's really over,' he thought. He murmurred something aloud, which not even Kipricat could remember, due to the mind-dulling effects of the medical kit. Rubbing his forehead for a bit, he glanced at the rest of the team. Chag and the other intern were there. So was Furlong. And so was the rest of the team. Except for... Someone they had left behind... But who, Kip could not recall. The team simply felt a lot smaller. Bonded by trauma, the survivors would always be. 'If I'm ever with these guys again, I'll get to know them,' he promised himself. Talking aloud now, he said "We made it... We did it... We're alive... And we're going to get out of here..." The realization had at first occurred as natural. But after he said it aloud, he realised how unlikely it really was that they were still alive and on their way out of here. There had been some close calls. It could easily have been more than close. They could easily have died... But they hadn't... Kipricat kept pondering as he walked. [M] Kipricat moves to H. [E] Kipricat uses a medical kit on himself. |
OOC:
Most of my thoughts pretty much mimic Oddey's. This RPG was definetly a lot of fun and I really enjoyed it, although I can't really compare this Creeper to the last one as I wasn't part of it but I do think this was an improvement on the last one, mainly because of the battle system. This was the first time I have taken part in a RP like this, although that's not surprising since this is the third RP I've taken part in, not including my own one. My most favorite post to write was in Hour Thirteen, I just went for it and after posting it I was thinking to myself 'oh crap I didn't go too overboard did I?' :p My summary is pretty much the same as Oddey's as are my likes and dislikes of the RP. The only enemy I thought was a tad out of place was the SkeleSlig but I didn't think too badly of the other's apart from most of them were just Zombies. I do agree with Oddey in including Vykker experiments, like having a Paramite + Scrab merged together scuttering around the cieling would have been interesting. For some reason I sometimes found myself relating this RP to the first Resident Evil film. I did enjoy the battle system it was simple, easy to roleplay with and it was easy to know what could or could not be done during an hour without having to ask constant questions. I usually found myself setting up my posts like this: *detailed versions of action from the last hour requiring a Dice Roll* *getting in Zalik's head, communication ect* *the current hour's actions* That's about all I can think of for now, would the March RP be another Creeper or more likely something entirely different? IC: Zalik managed to awkwardly dodge out of the way of the Creeper's jet of steam and sliced through the creature's flesh. As the creature fell to Kipricat's rocket Zalik felt the gripping within him fade away, whether it was temporary or not he couldn't say. "So it's finally over" he said relieved, Zalik had originally signed up with the OSU for excitement but he had never expected to have to endure anything like this. Zalik noticed his friend 23 had been badly hurt during the recent fighting, "Hey! 23!" he yelled out hobbling towards him and pulled out his medical kit. "You need this more than I do" he smiled behind his tentacles and started to apply the kit on 23. "That's that all done, k'mon let's get out of this place" he tapped 23 on the shoulder and began to make his way to the Delta Subway Line "I'm not gonna be able to sleep for weeks after this." Joking aside Zalik was worried, he himself as well as the other's had almost died today and he hadn't been prepared for anything like that. He lowered his head in thought as he continued on. [E] Zalik used a Medical Kit on Unit 23 [M] Zalik moved to H |
OOC:
Sorry I couldn't make it for the final fight! I agree with all the comments on the more organised fighting and movement, and thematic value. If I could make one criticism it would be this: I don't care how long it is, but we need to put it at a calmer time of year! It's not your fault, but I was really busy at Christmas and I was disappointed that I missed all the action. I think we should have a brainstorming thread in March as well, so we can put more ideas in the pot nearer the time. Maybe we should have a roll call of where all the characters are every turn? I still think there's room for the 'deadly outside conditions' idea, as well. IC: As the Creeper slowly died, screeching and blasting steam across the room, Chag finally snapped out of his necrotic trance. As the lifegases flowed across him, the sickly green of his flesh receeded back towards the scar on his wrist. Chag coughed up a little green ooze, and was cured. More or less, anyway. "Thanks, people. Really. I'd be dead - worse than dead - if you hadn't come back for me. Now, who needs a medical pack? We'll barely make it out the door at this rate!" [E] Chag offers a Medical Pack to anyone who needs one [M] Chag moves to H |
HOUR TWENTY-EIGHT RESULTS
======================== [M] Furlong moves to the Delta Subway Line (H). [E] Unit 23 uses a Medical Kit on Furlong. Furlong: Critically Injured -> Healthy [M] Kipricat moves to H. [E] Kipricat uses a medical kit on himself. Kipricat: Critically Injured -> Healthy [E] Zalik used a Medical Kit on Unit 23. [M] Zalik moved to H. Zalik: Critically Injured -> Healthy [E] Chag offers a Medical Pack to anyone who needs one. (Randy) Randy: Healthy -> Very Healthy [M] Chag moves to H. HOUR TWENTY-NINE ================ H - Delta Subway Line This is the Delta Subway Line. It appears that a train is waiting in the station, with a few minutes the train could be used to make an escape. IC: Randy was surprised to be offered a Medical Kit by Chag. He took it and thanked him. Furlong reached the platform. He noticed a diesel train which was currently at the station itself. It had several passenger carts and a cargo cart at the back of the train. "Okay, time to get this up and running... I need a Technician (Kipricat) to come up to the front and help me start it. Randy, help me plot an route on the map will you?" Randy looked towards Furlong and nodded, rushing over with a pen in his hand. Unit 23 was standing in a corner of the station. It looked as if he was whispering something into a portable microphone. [E] Furlong enters the Train Engine cabin and studies the buttons. [E] Randy plots a course on the map. OOC: I apologize for the lack of monster diversity. I felt that at least I did a decent job with the monster placement, objectives (kennels, etc) and final boss. It looks like I'll need to brainstorm for some new potential enemies for the next one. If I can, I'd like to keep The Creeper running around October time on the cusp of Halloween. Currently I'm considering doing a short RPG based on some of my fanfictions. a Prison OtherSide or a Four Dominions game would be quite fun, and Silpher's Pack would make for some interesting characterization. Competitive games (as well as Co-operative games) is another possibility, for interesting player vs player conflicts. I can see a couple of Oddities that need reworking and a few other things that need a little bit of extra development. Of course, if anyone has any other opinions or pieces of advice they are welcome to post them here so I can prepare better for next time! |
IC:
Randy took the Med Kit from Chag's hand as he held it out and mumbled some thanks. As the group pressed forward, the claustrophobic tunnels ended at last, leading to a fenceless platform. Inky darkness descended below, and tiny specks of light at each end of the station flickered across the grimy surface of the enormous cargo train that was docked there. Technicians set to work, fighters kept a lookout, and Chag rose into the air to make sure the way for the train was clear. [E] Chag flies a short distance down the train platform, making sure there are no obstructions. |
IC: Kipricat looked at the train. This was their ride home? Not quite the gloriously, fabulous and extravagent transport he had in mind, but at least it could run. And it was a train. Trains made Kipricat feel much safer. No insane driver capable of turning it off the road. You could always tell where you were going, or where it was possible you'd go to.
Kipricat heard Furlong's orders, and happily obliged. 'Finally something that doesn't need to be blown up,' he thought as he headed up to the front. Kipricat reached the front of the train, and took a minute to look at the controls. Then, Kipricat pressed a button. [E] Kipricat follows Furlong into the Train Engine cabin and attempts to start the train. |
IC:
Zalik stopped as he caught sight of the train and his hopes finally lifted but they still had to get out of the subway yet. Now that there were no enemies around Zalik felt pretty useless, he had no special skills so he decided to keep a look out for anything that might decide to jump out and eat them. As he kept watch Zalik's mind began to wander to the mission they just accomplished, the fumbling of the Slig Mask and finding the Blitzknife, to the battles and eventual collapse of the subway system. Zalik could tell that all of the events that took place had changed him. If he had any sense he would quit the OSU the moment he returned but he knew he wouldn't be able to cope as a lowly guard after the things he'd seen. He held his Blitzknife in front of him, this weapon and his teammates had seen him through the worst moments he had ever had and he felt that he had begun to feel an attachment to the blade. He waited and kept his eyes to the surroundings until the train was ready. |
HOUR TWENTY-NINE RESULTS
======================= [E] Furlong enters the Train Engine cabin and studies the buttons. [E] Randy plots a course on the map. [E] Kipricat follows Furlong into the Train Engine cabin and attempts to start the train. HOUR THIRTY =========== IC: The train engine hummed for a while and then roared into life. The lights of the train came on and the doors of the carts automatically opened. Everyone came on board and took their seats. Two little barks could be heard as Scrap and Ruff jumped into the train. They started licking some of the Sligs and jumping up and down playfully. The train whistle sounded and the wheels of the train started to turn. Slowly the train left the station and then picked up speed. Once the train was far along enough, Furlong hit the detonator and a blast could be heard in the distance. The train passed through snowy mountains, some quiet towns and along a busy road. A few hours later, the train came to a stop in Arigato Central, one of the largest train stations in Mudos. Furlong directed the train into an empty platform and the team disembarked. Briefing of the OSU team would happen soon, but first it was time for coffee at the headquarters while they waited for the high command to assemble. Furlong took one last look at the train and smiled. OOC: I'll start working out the Shared Experience once I get the data from my backed up hard drive :) |
IC:
This assignment had been too much. Monsters, disease, explosions, and he'd only just managed to pull himself into the train in time. Now he was safe inside though, with the rest of the team. He looked across their faces... Injured Mudokons, scarred Slig captains, stitched-up Interns... They looked so strange, as a group, but they had somehow managed to pull through. As he lay back in his seat, watching the titanic but bizarrely peaceful scenery rumble by, he thought back to the events of the day. He'd forged new friendships, fought for his life, as almost ended up as a zombie. If that didn't get him some sick leave, he didn't know what would. OOC: Great playing with you everybody! |
