Work at Rupture Farms (v.5)
 
It's time for... The 5th part of Work at Rupture Farms! The rules are the same:
No original characters, like Molluck etc. Do not use other RPGers' characters.

if character says something: Character: "..."
if character does something: *Character ...* (you can use the 'story-telling' form, too)
if character thinks something: Character's Thoughts: "..."

If you want details, check the RPG rules by T-nex.

I guess it's not necessary to post our profiles here, with having the 'W@RF Profile Thread'.

Here are the links to the previous versions:

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4

Still have a very good time at Rupture Farms!

T-nex 10-02-2005 11:54 AM

xx_xx_0dd 10-03-2005 09:34 AM

What is this?

dripik 10-03-2005 09:53 AM

Well, xx_xx_0dd, this is an Oddworld RPG, with the name of Work at Rupture Farms. It has been going since 4th October 2002 and this is the 5th version of it. I would like to recommend the previous four parts to you, to see what's this exactly about. Welcome to the Forums, by the way.


Now that I think of it, W@RF's going to be 3 years old tomorrow! Scrab Legs for everyone!

Munch's Master 10-03-2005 10:24 AM

Hooray, 3rd anniversary soon! I suggest we begin part 5 tomorrow to celebrate this, and maybe incorporate into the RP the factory's 3rd anniversary of reopening. But I take it that current RPers need not repost their characters up as they are already in the profile thread?

Big bro slig 600 10-03-2005 10:30 AM

ooc:may 2002 wow i never knew a roleplay would last that long ever cool so congrats on having a populor and rather cool roleplay here dripix

Splat 10-03-2005 11:19 AM

Happy birthday dear W@RF!
Happy birthday dear W@RF!
Happy birthday Work at Rupture Farms...
Happy birthday dear W@RF!

When shall we begin? We must have sped up a lot in the last year or two, part 4 didn't last long!

it's like a soap! You can't always guess what's going to happen next, but it's always great at the time (and seems a bit rubbish when you look back after having forgot about it completely!)

xx_xx_0dd 10-03-2005 11:47 AM

???
 
So, uhhhh.... HOW DO I JOIN! I mean it looks awsome. I have alot of free time on my hands so, I will join.




EDIT: Please give me an answer!

T-nex 10-03-2005 12:41 PM

Well Xodd, you should read some rules first... Go look for them at the top of this forums. they are all stickied :) After that you just create a profile.

xx_xx_0dd 10-03-2005 12:46 PM

Okay. Thanks.

Oh, were do I post the profile?

T-nex 10-03-2005 01:03 PM

Here and in the WARF profile thread, which i linked to in the second post of this thread.

xx_xx_0dd 10-03-2005 01:24 PM

I'm new. I got a character right here------------------------------------------------
Name:Slicer (or Unit 117-3476)

Race/Species:Robotic (Not Alive)

Age:He was built 8 years ago, he is meant to be 22

Look/Apperance:He has a hologram projecter to fool mudokins into think he is one of them. He also has a voice chip to make him sound like a mudokin, and he baisically looks like a cold blooded killer in cyborg form.He also has a shotgun on him at all times.

Sex:Robotic (Male apperance in mudokin form)

Personality:He is an execution-droid, built by Glukkons to kill off mudokins. He also works as an executioner for mudokins who don't listen or are of no use to the the evil Glukkons anymore. He will make friends with the disguise if he has to trick some one.

Backstory:He was made 8 years ago by Glukkon scientists. He is an executioner. He is just starting to discover emotions, and is having trouble controlling them (like sudden outbursts of anger,hate, love, and others). He wants to over-throw the Glukkons, but they have control over him. Will he overcome them? He is going to need help to do it.

What do you think? And when do we start?

Gretin 10-03-2005 05:51 PM

Yep, I'm still in. I think.
I don't really have time to post that often anymore, but I still manage to keep track of it, so yeah... ;)

xx_xx_0dd 10-04-2005 06:19 AM

When are we going to start?

big bro boogie 10-04-2005 07:23 AM

OOC: I'm "ready" to start too. No need to wait for me.:D (School keeps me from posting a little bit so... yea, you already knew that...)

Big bro slig 600 10-04-2005 07:46 AM

ooc:Im ready as well we will have to wait for dripix to start unless someone else dose this time.
Nice profile xx_xx_0dd kt sounds cool.

xx_xx_0dd 10-04-2005 07:54 AM

Big bro slig 600 10-04-2005 09:45 AM

((Its in the profile thread [links on the second post of this page] i might make a new character in this one.))

Munch's Master 10-04-2005 10:26 AM

I'm ready, just to wait for dripik. Oh ,and of course, Happy Birthday W@RF! All these years.....Well, while where's waiting, I'm going to go and try for the 3rd time to read through the whole W@RF from parts 1-4.

dripik 10-04-2005 11:00 AM

OOC: We are here, W@RF's been going on for three years! I wouldn't have guessed that time, when I clicked the 'New Topic' button, that this RPG will go for this long. And it's all down to the members of the past and the present... Thanks to you all.

And I also would like to welcome the new RPGers again. Welcome!

Let's start, shall we...

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

#7 Slig turned to Boogie.

#7 Slig: "The Armory? Well, I guess it's in the Storage Room. That place is huge, there are many weapons in there."

He looked at the BlitzPistol.

#7 Slig: "Yeah, I guess there are better weapons than that. I remember using them at Basic Training back at the Barracks. Anyways, the Storage is not far from here, just down this corridor, it's a large, rusty door. You can't miss it. Hey, RG, wait up!"

RG-49 was marching into the Cafeteria.

RG-49: "The Boss seems OK."

He looked up at the chant suppressors.

RG-49: "Immediate success..."

Jarnww 10-04-2005 11:03 AM

HAPPY BIRTHDAY W@RF!!!!!!!!


YAY!!!!


Uh, I'm still in, and I'm sure my profile is still in the W@RF profile list, so I'm gonna wait for Dripik too.

T-nex 10-04-2005 09:13 PM

OOC: Lol, dripik posted right before you :P oh well....

Munch's Master 10-05-2005 11:24 AM

ooc: Ok, let's all get going then....
IC:
Dek turned sharply around at Stivik's call, and rushged back in, not bothering to clean out the Scrab's tank. He reentered the main lab area to find Anni out of the chair, awake, and looking towards the door, while Stivik had a gun to her head.
"What on earth just happened? How did she get-but-I strapped her-she was asleep for crying out loud!"
He waved his arms in a panic at Stivik
"How? How did she get out!" He had never been in a stress like this before, his experiments always worked, the restraints never failed, and he didn't want Anni's brains splattered over the labfloor and himself faced with a lot of paperwork.
~~~~~~~~~
ooc: Seeing as Gretin said me and Boogie could control Sefon for this tedious bit, I will do so.
IC:
Arthur dropped the crates down again and again to Sefon, who was pilling them up down below. He took a break after the 10th crate or so, turning to Floyd and sighing
"We shouldn't be having to do this, my job's telling the manual workers when the train's arrived, not doing the unloading myself. And your job is a machine checker."
He shrugged and continued unloading the crates, wanting to get this done quick so they could hurry up and unload the machine parts off the new train.
ooc: Boogie, if you wish you can go ahead and skip the remaining unloading and just get them over to the grinder parts train quickly. Feel free to use Arthur for that, providing you don't have him speak much other than thanking Sefon or complaining about the work etc.

T-nex 10-05-2005 12:25 PM

She suddenly turned her head towards Dek, and felt a hate and fear stream through her. She hesitated for a moment not knowing what to say. She was beginning to feel quite uncomfortable with Stiviks gun constantly on her head.

"Could you please not pint that gun on me? it's like i'm going to explode you or anything...." she said and rolled her eyes.

She looked around, not looking for anything. But she wanted to look at something else than the slig and vykker. Her eyes locked themselves on a cylinder filled with some liquid. She wondered what it was, and what would happen if she drank it. She shook her shoulders, and continued daydreaming.

Jarnww 10-05-2005 09:14 PM

OOC: Oops, I posted in Version 4! Okay, here it is:


Sev watched the little creature run off.

Sev:"Where the heck do they get those things anyways? They don't seem very sharp..."

He then looked around. That tube had taken him far into the facility. He decided to find out how Dek was doing with Anni and the scrab. He walked down the hall and eventually found an elevator. He pressed the button to call the lift, but it didn't come. He cursed and looked behind him. A hall marked "STOCKYARD SECTOR 5B" hung above it.

Sev:"Huh? Stockyards.... Ah well, maybe there's a detour through there to the med-lab!"

Sev headed down the hall. However, as soon as he did, a lightbulb under the sign fizzed back on. It illuminated the full sign which said,

STOCKYARD SECTOR 5B
ABANDONED DUE TO SCRAB OUTBREAK.
USE ELEVATOR.

Splat 10-06-2005 09:41 AM

"Could you please not pint that gun on me? it's like i'm going to explode you or anything...."
Stivik: "I wouldn't be too sure of that." He turns to Dek, "She just used some mudokon power to make fire appear out of no where and burn through the restaints! How long has Vykkers Labs been teaching muds to do that?"

He should have gotten that place shut down while he had the chance. The Cartel had suspected that they were plotting something, but he hadn't been able to find any evidence.

T-nex 10-06-2005 09:54 AM

Anni angrily sat back on the chair, with her arms crossed. She suddenly felt like crying... something she hadn't done for years. She felt helpless, and if the slig or vykker wanted to kill her they could. She could feel anger rise inside her too, and felt like she would explode soon. But she calmed down a bit and looked up.

"I think i know why..." she then said, and tried to think back.

She remembered being signed up for some new experiment, which they would then test on soldiers if it would succeed, but apparently they thought it didn't work, since they just stopped the experiment. But she kept her mouth closed. She hoped that the Vykker and slig had become intrgued enough not to shoot her or drug her again.

Munch's Master 10-06-2005 10:02 AM

Dek looked at Anni intrigued, and he glanced at Stivik, quickly syaing
"As far as I know we've never taught them to set fire to things, but she seems to know. No offense, but sligs like you aren't very tactful ,so leave this to me."
he turned to Anni
"Well, Anni, listen. We aren't going to shoot or harm you, the only reason we ever strapped you up was to find more out about you. If you tell us why that happened before, you will probably be able to avoid getting experimented on. Please tell me why and how you did that fire trick."

T-nex 10-06-2005 12:19 PM

"the only reason we ever strapped you up was to find more out about you." Anni repeated scornfully, and felt an even greater anger rise at those words.

If her pigment of the skin was fully funktional, it would probably have turned red. But she hesitated with doing anything untill she felt she could control herself. Then she opened her mouth but didn't say anything. She scratched her head and then spoke.

"Uh well they um... experimented... on um..." she scratched her head again, "Well i think they wanted to create some weird powers for some new special slig-soldiers.... I heard the Vykkers speak about it, while i was drugged... Um yea, and well they probably must have thought it didn't work, because i could never start any fire or anything. So they um.. got tired and sent me away."

She decided that she'd told enough, even though she had only told half the truth. She didn't like talking about any mental breakdown, so she didn't touch that subject.

"Uhm... but i don't know myself how i started the fire, so don't blame me!" she said, and then added lowly: "scum..."

dripik 10-07-2005 07:51 AM

Arnie looked at the approaching RG-49.

Arnie: "Hello there, RG. Anything new 'round the factory."

RG-49: "The two Mudokons I interrogated earlier seemed to be innocent, though I'm not convinced. I have reactivated some security measures of the factory, as you can see."

Otto looked at the floating chant suppressors, then back at RG-49.

Otto: "Are those junkballs supposed to be protecting us?"

RG-49: "Of course not, as I said many times before, it is my duty to protect the Executive staff of the factory. Do not worry about being attacked, Glukkon organic."

Otto: "Glukkon organic???"

He looked at Arnie.

Arnie: "Well, RG's right at some rate."

Otto: "That's fine, but what's with the manners?"

RG-49: "Manners are not in my primary protocols. Robotic Guard models don't need them that much. We obey and respect our Boss, and that's all."

big bro boogie 10-07-2005 01:21 PM

OOC: WEEKEND!:) Can someone tell me which people are in Dek's lab? I lost track.:p
EDIT: Please?
-IC-

"Alright, Storage room, large rusty door down this corridor. Thanks pal."
Boogie walked all the way down the corridor searching for a large rusty door, which he instantly saw from a few meters away.
"Well, that indeed is a huge door. That lever'd probably open it."
He walks over to the lever and pulls it. The door opened, slowly and screeched loudly.

Boogie observed the room in front of him. There were a lot of grids in which the weapons were hung. At least most of them were, some were very practicly placed on the floor. And ofcourse the ammo was scattered around everywhere.
Boogie picked up a standard 30 rounds assault rifle.
"Ah, the old days. (ooc: They didn't call him Boogie for no reason;).) This'll be most of what I need. I'll get my radio back from Dek and... Why am I talking out loud?"

Boogie shrugged and started looking for some ammo storage. He found a box with five ammo chambers. He picked those up, kept four of 'em in his vest and loaded one up into the rifle. The average "click-click" was heard.
"I think I'm done here... Hey what's that?"
Boogie spotted another grid which carried one last grenade.
"Yeah, this could be so usefull."
He picked the grenade off the grid and pinned it onto his vest. Then he walked out of the room and straight towards Dek's corridor.

He stopped at the T-junction.
"Radio at Dek's... Yea, I'll go in there first."
Boogie walked into the lab, and it seemed that he found himself in a tense situation. Everyone seemed very confused. Boogie decided to just lean onto his rifle a bit.
"Hi. What's... up?"

~~~~~~
Scruben grinned as Jim freaked out again.
"Oh, there's just an empty shaft? That'd be the lift we used earlier. Relax, Jim. This place is different. People won't stuff you up when you forget to clean a spot here. They're really nice, compared to other factories. Erm... lets just go back to the cafeteria, calmly. Alright?"
He asked while he prepared to be dragged away again.

~~~~~~
(OOC: I'll skip a tiny little part.^^ lack of time...)
Floyd came out of the train puling a cart, with a pile of boxes strapped onto it, behind him. A visible note on one of the boxes read: Grinder Beak.
"Hah, this is pretty well thought of. The guy you had on the fone wasn't that dumb after all... Hey, I've seen you've finished the crates. Well done."

Floyd looked at Arthur with slight amusement
"Err, you can stay here, if that's what you really want to. Well bring the parts to the grinding area. As soon as I've seen Arnie I'll ask for people which can take care of these... crates. And I hope I'll see that robot... dude-thingie. I bet he knows how to install these parts."

OOC: Ack! Time lack. Gretin, you can control Floyd to bring the parts somewhere. Or, if I'll return earlier, I can take care of that... but right now I've got to go. Bye.

Splat 10-08-2005 01:22 PM

Jim looked at Scruben like he was mad. Not that Scruben would know, but still, it's the thought that counts. But then, anything short of poking your eyes out at the first mistake would be an improvement on his last job. Jim sighed and decided he'd have to say something.
Jim: "Hey, look Scruben, it's not the Glukkons that i mind so much, unless they're in a bad mood or I've done something wrong, but the sligs... Alright, I'm sligo-phobic. One look at the things and I'm a nervous wreck. Childhood memories or something. The point is, anywhere that sligs aren't is fine with me. The last thing I want is the boss deciding we need a slig escort or something. don't worry, we'll find a way upstairs."
He looked around, picked a random direction and headed down the passage.


Stivik: "I think its perfectly reasonable to blame you. If you hadn't caused it it wouldn't have happened!" He turns to Dek, "If this Mud has got some freaky voodoo powers that she can't control then maybe we should think about moving her to somewhere more... secure. The last thing Repture Farms needs is another terrorist attack, MOM would have a party, and I can't imagine "Anni's Oddysee" selling to well as a computer game, it's been done before. Twice." (ooc: :p) Stivik's eyes gleamed. "Look, at least you hould go and find Arnie and tell him about this, I'll look after Anni until you get back. We don't wanna move her about to much if she's gonna be able to break free. Lock the door or something and head off to get Arnie."

AngryVyykerDude 10-08-2005 03:30 PM

OOC: would someone please sum up what happened? Also can someone control the characters of mine for a while?

T-nex 10-09-2005 12:11 AM

Ooc: Why can't you just read what happened??

dripik 10-09-2005 07:52 AM

#7 Slig came into the Cafeteria and went to Arnie and co.

#7 Slig: "Hey, boss." *pant*

Arnie: "Hello, #7. Is anything wrong."

#7 Slig: "We could argue about that, but I suppose everything's going fine now, compared to the standards. I have some reports for you, though. Uh, what were they again?... Oh, the mutant Scrab and... Anni."

Arnie: "A mutant Scrab? And Anni? Did the Scrab attack her?"

#7 Slig: "No, I guess not... she was in one piece last time I saw her."

Otto: "So she didn't get attacked. What, then?"

#7 Slig: "I'm coming to it. Both of them were tranqualized when I saw them. Anni tried to get Stivik's gun or something like that, and the mutant Scrab... well, it's enough that it's a mutant. They have been carried to Dek's lab. That's all, I think."

Otto turned to Arnie.

Otto: "What's up with this Anni? She can't say that she's been treated bad, with all your Mudokon-friendly orders."

Arnie: *sigh* "I don't know. Did Dek say anything about her?"

#7 Slig: "Uh, he said that he will try to find out more about Anni."

Arnie: "I hope he will succeed."

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

OOC: W@RF Comic 15th page, ready... if you haven't noticed.

Big bro slig 600 10-09-2005 08:45 AM

*Both the sligs walked about the outside of the cafateria when they heard something about a Mutant scrab*
Flare: Mutant Scrab...whats that?
max: i don't know but if we don't get on with our jobs the boss will have your head.

Flare:My head why can't they have yours aswell?
Max:Because i've got a metal neck so they would struggle to even scratch my inner bones.

*Both sligs entered the Cafateria again*

Flare: Come on hose scrab cakes look goregius
max: How are you today sir?
ooc:He was talking to Dripixs characters just in case anyone asks

Munch's Master 10-10-2005 11:33 AM

ooc: Booige, the following characters are i the lab:
Dek, Stivik, Anni, Boogie and Jarrnnw's scrab (But it's asleep in a big green fluid tank)
IC:
Arthur shrugged embarrassed
"Nah, I didn't mean I don't want to earn my pay, well, yes I did, but I mainly meant I'd have thought the factory would've employed someone fer this job, you know?" *shrugs* "Ah well."
He helps Floyd with the parts. (ooc: Gretin, same as with Boogie, feel free to move Arthur about as you wish)
~~~~~~~~
Dek listened to Anni's story, then saw Boogie come in and ask what's happening, then Stivik's suggestion.
He first addressed Booige "Oh nothing much really, only this mudokon set fire to my chair and Stivik here thinks we should throw her in a mental asylum."
He then turned to Stivik
"I hardly think so. I'd suggest that I stay here and watch over Anni, and you go up to wherever Arnie is and tell him the truth. Boogie can stay guard. And remember Stivik, I am a Vykker medic, you are a Slig worker., I am your superior. You should listen to me."
He was mentally thinking over what he would ask Anni while this temperamental Slig was gone, and hoping that Stivik would show reason for once.

T-nex 10-10-2005 11:55 AM

Anni got a shock, when Boogie popped in and asked what was going on. She turned around and automatically answered to his question: "Well the birds and the sky is up...."

Then she thought that it wasn't true.

"Well, not really, the ceilling is anyways." She then corrected herself.

Then when Dek spoke, she hardly resisted the urge to smack him accros the face or something.

"Why don't YOU just stay here untill i get arnie, or do some experiments on you?? Then i could check to see why you're such a psycho!" She said with hatred, "and i didn't set fire to you stupid chair, which by the way i very uncomfortable... At least at the old place, the chairs were nice sleeping on."

She turned around and went as far as possible away from them in the room, and sat down on the floor, with her back leaned against the wall.
She didn't see any reason to be cscared anymore, she knew she could handle it. It couldn't possibly be worse than her past.

-------

Kix and Dean had looked the whole farm for Javi, untill they spotted him outside, at the stockyard.

"Hey Javi! We were wondering were you were!" Dean shouted, and Javi turned to face them.

"Hey..." He saluted back.

"What have you been doing?? we were missing you." Kix asked.

He sighed and looked a bit abscent.

"Well, i'm looking for Anni. I'm a bit worried, that she'h gotten herself into trouble again. I haven't seen her around, and you can usually hear her from a very long distance. I was thinking that she might have been outside, doing some whacky escape-plan or something. But i guess not." Javi answered, looking a bit worried.

Kix could feel a bit worryness stream into her too.

"Well, now you mention it... She hasn't really been around." Kix said and shrugged.

Splat 10-11-2005 03:39 AM

ooc:I'm using a school keyboard and the spacebar is rubbish so bare with me in this post.

Stivik glanced at Anni. "That's the kind of erratic and irrational behaviour you can expect from that mud." Long words were the way to get a vykker on your side, make 'em think you're intelligent, they feel threatened and try and look better than you. "You're like the only vykker we've got here. We don't want you getting hurt." Flattery, make em look pathetic, they hate it. "Anni has attacked me twice already, and you've seen how she gets around vykkers." I'm so much more experienced than you! That would really get him riled. "I'll stay here and guard her, if she's using spiritual powers then we should atop the situation getting worse. You can explain that to Arnie better than me." And finally, give 'em a chance to see a way of bettering you and with the average vykker it's problem solved!
