Work at Rupture Farms (v.8)

[stonetooth]

IC golig slumped around as he patrolled his area on his first day of new work. He kept telling himself not to go to sleep, and even hit himself a few times to try to keep him awake, but he slowly drifted into a sleep, and he slumped down on the ground with his gun in hand.

[odd prodigy]

murch watched as the slig finaly fell asleep slumped against a wall.he quitley tip toed over s he pulled out the tools of his trade a screw driver and began checking for place to slip it in to begin his work. " hehehehehe " he thought

[stonetooth]

IC Golic snored loudly as he dreamt fondly about food. After awhile, he woke up and saw the strange figure in front of him. He immediatly jumped up in a panic, and fumbled around with his gun. He looked at the figure and said,"Hey, who are you and what are you doing?"

[Moosh da Outlaw]

"Awww!" Maggie purred, hugging Phats tightly as the slog started to fall asleep. "He's just the cutest lil' thing I ever saw!" Maggie grabbed Corky's arm rather roughly and forced him to sit down. She grinned at him. "What's the rush? I'm not rushin'! I mean, I got places to be, but you don't see me scramblin' around trying to finish things! You don't," she rubbed Phat's head, "want to wake this little guy up, do ya? Look at him! He's exhausted! Isn't that right, cutie pie?"

She nuzzled Phat's snout and continued talking baby-talk to the fat slog.

----

Conway stiffened when the snoozer smashed the can flat, then flung it into a crashcan. He scowled, moved as though he were going to get out of his seat, decided against it, then lay back down again and grumbled something under his breath.

----

Skelter was wandering aimlessly now, her headphones blaring some sort of metal-screamo trash. Stupid vykkers! She wasn't here to do all their odd-jobs; she was practically the essence of a disgruntled employee, if that wasn't obvious enough!

Bitterly she kicked a ratz that had hopped unfortunately within range of her leg, then kept moving onwards, heading towards the train station.

OOC : OMG, This thread... It's alive...ALIVE ! *evil laugh*

-----IC-----

SU-01 : (on a less strong tone, to everyone in the cafeteria) Hello everyone ! I'm currently looking for the Glukkon in charge of here (or one of his helpers). Does anyone knows where he is ?

[dripik]

OOC:

(SU-01) can only speak with pre-recorded slig sound (Hi, Freeze, Get'em...) and few other words that he have learned during his training.

Considering all that, SU is quite talkative, Jimmy.

To all people who lost their way: I have found the remedy! Just sit down to your computer after a long day at school/university/work, and read through some of your latest posts. It worked for me, hence I post IC now.

To add to the method seen above, I realized that RG never released Dimitrio after he left the Cafeteria, and then he dissappeared as well. Sorry Zozo!

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

IC:
Arnie, standing in the Cafeteria (OOC: DUNDUN, that's where he have been all the time.), realized that he lost track of events again. People seemed to rush in and out of the Cafeteria; some of them, like the Snoozer (SU-01), were actually waiting for him. He still felt awful - head still pounding, temple still throbbing. He couldn't concentrate in this state...

Walking past everyone, Arnie walked up to a announcement microphone and started speaking. "Attention! To all personnel and other lifeforms - and robots - of Rupture Farms! You are to return to your R+Rs, bunks or wherever you sleep, and stay there until tomorrow. Nobody is allowed to leave until morning, when there will be a meeting in the Cafeteria. I expect you to be there, unless you want to leave Rupture Farms. I repeat: tomorrow morning, meeting in Cafeteria!"

Turning off the microphone, he turned around and said "Get moving!" to the room in general, and left the Cafeteria.

As he walked down the corridor to the elevators, he saw Otto leaving a small workshop. The Glukkon was grumbling to himself. "...suppressor pin... voice control... right... Gappiqu, keeping me up like that..."

Arnie called out. "Otto!"

Otto looked up. "Oh, hi there, Arn. That was you on the speakers just now, right?"

"Know anyone else with that sort of authority?" asked Arnie, sarcastically.

"Well... Me?"

"Wrong." said Arnie curtly.

"What? What do you mean, wrong...?" asked Otto, puzzled.

Arnie didn't answer. His headache forced him to get to the Executive R+R as quick as possible. Otto kept inquiring what he meant, but it didn't bother Arnie much. At least, it wasn't another worker asking him to solve problems and such.

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

OOC: Time for the new part, maybe? After everyone returned to R+R?

[Jimmy-le-sniper]

OOC :

OOC:

Considering all that, SU is quite talkative, Jimmy.

Ermm...quite right . Let's just say he's got a new "Text-to-speech" update, right ? I dunno what I was thinking when I created this character... I'll edit his profile soon.

OOC: Time for the new part, maybe? After everyone returned to R+R?

Sounds good to me !

-----IC-----

SU-01 : *Saw Arnie stand up, make the announcement and leave*

SU-01 thoughts : "So this is the glukkon in charge of here...*Scans Arnie* High level of stress detected ! Maybe it's not the best time to ask for orders...[Add new objective : Be present in the cafeteria tomorrow at 07:00 AM]"

SU-01 : *Leave the cafeteria*

SU-01 thoughts : "Well, I think I should go to the Employees Restroom, for guarding purposes."

SU-01 : *Heads to the Employees R+Rs*

SU-01 thoughts : "Better switch to silence mode...My footsteps are kinda noisy"

SU-01 : *Lower the noise of his internal system and make air cushions inflate under his feet, while he crosses the R+Rs door. Then go to a corner and stay there until the next day*

[Splat]

Clear! ZZZZZ!

OCC psst seperate thread for profiles anyways.....

Actually I said people should post their profiles in the current W@RF thread, as well as in the profile thread, so in this case he's right and you're wrong. Also, you need your character to enter the factory somehow. You can't say he's been working there all along because someone probably would have noticed
Stonetooth, you look like you have potential! Welcome!

Right, gotta check back on my recent actions and then I'll get a nice, tasty new post in the oven; it's business time!

(I don't know if Zerox is still about, but I can grab MM. We'll see where things lead!)


IC:
"Wow, when did you start work here?" Anni asked Slash, excitement coming back a little. She was nearly ready to get into full, enthusiastic swing, when Arnie's announcement interupted them.
"Um, I guess we better head to the R+R then." She started walking down the corridor, followed by Slash (I presume).

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

Dionysia was bored, poking about the grinders, the production lines and that general area, as that was generally a good place to look for trouble. The fact that most of the factory was automated these days and there were no slaves about made things more than a little boring. The announcement made her look up and grumble to herself (not at anything in particular, just at the world in general) before she headed back up the stairs.

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

Krik looked up at the clock in surprise. "Ack! When did it get so late? I've missed the last train!" He growled to himself and then fixed a glare on Dek, who was busy sticking a tube down a mudokon's throat, "I suppose you have suitable accomadations for one more vykker?"
Jim, with a tube half-way down his throat, made a sort of arrhhing noise that made no sense whatsoever.


ooc: Quick, but I guess things are moving. Very soon I'm gonna close this and have Dripik start W@RF 9, so hurry up and get your characters to the R+R (that's the room where people sleep).

Good to see you back in swing, Dripik

[Munch's Master]

OOC: It lives! It Liiiiives!

IC:

Arthur rubbed his eyes and looked around, still in the Cafeteria.
"Bunks eh? Alright then. I still want my meal though. Ya better deliver the meal speaker system, or you'll get my gun up yer ars...er.....up yer plug socket. Yeah."

He started off to the R+R.
"Why am I talkin' ta myself?"

*shortly after*

Arthur trudged through the R+R door and flopped on a nearby bed. "Tired...but huuuungry....."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dek rubbed his eyes, the weariness of the day kicking in. He popped a CHill Pill.

"Possibly. Go have a look, restroom's through there. If I don't of course, you can always share a bed with me...."
He smirked and lowered one of the shoulder straps on his lab coat, before popping another Chill Pill.
"Relax, it's a joke."
He trudged into the bedsit of the Lab and reclined on his usual bed.

[stonetooth]

ooc my bad splat, but yeah, who's slash? but should i just continue going on with where i was at, or what?

[odd prodigy]

OOC no worry im here now i see the threads picking up again cool ! oh and sorry splat ans ston tooth ill post my profile and get my char to the factory sum how...*cough* as a prisoner..stontoothe psst that would be you *cough*

IC murch flinched away luck enough that the slig hadn't already pulled the trigger. "aww erum dung " he muttered. he quickly jumped up the sligs pants were still functionl so he had to get out quick. until he felt the thump of a guns but hit in the back of the head..... murch's vision blurred and soon he fell to the ground, uncounciess (sp?)

[OddYouko]

Holy cow it's moving again.
IC: Corky didn't have time to think when Maggie roughly grabbed his arm and forced him to sit. His pants made a loud click as he sat down on the floor. He nervously looked at her as she grinned at him. "Well..I have to go see the Boss"...looking at the floor then back at her. "If I wanna get a job..." He then looked at his fat lazy pet. It looked as if Corky wasn't going to be leaving just yet. Phats who was now fully asleep started snoring loudly. Corky huffed then just decided to sit and watch the sleeping Slog. 'I'm never gonna get outta here.' He thought.
OOC: Maggie scares me a little.

[stonetooth]

IC

Golig quickly looked at the mudokon, and, not wanting to wait any longer, ran over to the R&R room, where aparently everyone was heading to. He turned around and took one last look at the mudokon and then ran off.

[odd prodigy]

OOC i was planning on stonetooth taking me prisoner to the factory hence being hit with the gun but i guess that isnt happening ....guess he didnt get the hint lol

IC murch rubbed his head after being hit by the slig (assumed to be stonetooth's char) but lucky for him the slig decided to run of towards the factory.murch hoped he wasnt going to tell the others on duty or else he be done for ! murch decicded to follow and make sure buthe might just stop by the cafeteria as his stomach growled. "food would sem realy good right now..." he said as he tryed to come up with a way to sneak in and steal the food with out getting caught.

[stonetooth]

ooc I got the hint, but it's jut that my character was so afraid whenever he saw you he panicked and hit you, because he is usually a wimp and just likes to think that if he has a gun no one will be scared of him, and, being suprised that he actually had the you know whats to hit you, ran off

IC

Golig decided to make one last patrol before he went to sleep and headed over to the cafeteria, and would probably sneek something to eat. Although he was prepared to go to sleep, he convinced himself to stay awake, and he leaned against one of the cafeteria walls, examaning whoever walked in.

[odd prodigy]

OOC oh i see, sorry i should pay attention more. hope i didn't offend

IC murch was able to navigate through the twist and turns and avoiding any touble, he had even just barely snuck by a snoozer. on his way to the cafeteria he spotted the slig from before. he stiffened at the sight of him and climbed into the duct works to the upper floors of the cafeteria where he saw delicious meat hanging from hooks "mmmmm" he muttered....

[stonetooth]

ooc it's alright, no offense at all

IC

After eating a brief meal, he scouted around the cafeteria, looking for anyone to talk to. Whenever he sat down, he started to hear some weird sounds coming from somewhere in the ceiling. He acted like it was nothing, and thanked the cafeteria workers on a good meal.

[Zozo the Zrilufet]

Ooc: Sorry, thought that guy would ask for his pie, then the rpg looked dead and yah.

Anyways, remember not to use random characters, i.e. characters with no name or personality, like a horde of scrabs or sligs chasing you, falling off a cliff and dying, that sorta thing.

/me reads the heap of new posts for relevant thingymajiggers.

...Waitwait, WHERE THE HELL IS DIMITRIO xD? And did the magic fire stop ?

IC

(GROUND FLOOR)

(Kitchen)

Operation: Make a pie seemed to be going well. The three stooges, Tiny the big bro slig, Tiro the mudokon child and Agent 80085 the...Whatever the hell she was (mini big bro slig with oddly placed lumps?) had managed to find a pie, stick it in the oven AND an instruction manual. Pretty good for two sligs and a kid when cooking wasn't their job.

The massive(er) big bro watched over the bunker and oven with childlike eyes behind the visors. Perhaps they weren't meant to be doing this...They hadn't even gotten a job there after all. An almighty glukkon hadn't given them his blessing, or a rite of passage to make sure they wouldn't blow up the cooker. It seemed simple enough though. With an electronic 'ding', the mudokon pulled on some oven gloves (Admittedly large for his smaller three-fingered hands), carefully opened the doors and stood back as hot air rushed out.

Stupid, on the other hand, had gotten a pan lodged onto her head. She was just running around like a crazed crawling slig, emitting muffled yelps of attacking vykkers and clanging the aluminium pan into walls.

They left her to it with a giggle, figuring she'd get out sooner or later. Tiny let the mudokon carefully lift a hot tray, edging it onto the bunker. The big bro watched the steaming pie, not daring to poke it from its sheer ten minutes in a cooking box.
"Did someone want a pie...?" He squeaked. He winced at a shrill scream, quickly snatching hold of a leaping crawling slig's tail. The mudokon and big bro blinked at the thrashing thing with the pan on her head, and a toy in her hand.

They all girlscreamed when some creepy guy with an intercom (Arnie yelled
Attention! To all personnel and other lifeforms - and robots - of Rupture Farms! You are to return to your R+Rs, bunks or wherever you sleep, and stay there until tomorrow. Nobody is allowed to leave until morning, when there will be a meeting in the Cafeteria. I expect you to be there, unless you want to leave Rupture Farms. I repeat: tomorrow morning, meeting in Cafeteria!
Then the scary glukkon left the cafeteria.

They all stared blankly (Expect for bucket-head) at the glukkon, looked at one another and shrugged.
"Anyone want pie before bedtime...?" Tiny squeaked.
"Save it for Dimitrio!" The metallic voice sounded out, yanking the pan off her head and chucking it away carelessly. "And umm...Maybe he's went to bed...Yeah, brekfast in bed sounds good."

Ooc: Not. Pun. Intended. I swearz.

[stonetooth]

IC

After golig convinced himself to get out of the cafeteria, he crept slowly to the R&R to get a good night's sleep after a good day's work.

"I wonder if that mudokon is still there from when I hit him?" he said outloud to himself. He thought for a moment about going over there and checking if he was, but he figured he best listen to orders and go to sleep.

[Splat]

ooc: Stonetooth and Odd Prodigy, nice as it is to see some enthusiastic new players, please be aware that there is a post-per-day limit in this RPG; you're not allowed to post more than two times a day. You may have noticed almost all the posts on this page are by you two.
If all the players post so much then people who can't get on daily, or who live in seperate timezones can get swamped out of the RPG; they can't keep up so they can't take part.
Rather than posting many short posts, it's better to make fewer, longer posts.


Munches Master, Dek has just left Jim lying on a table with a tube in his oesophaegus and no idea what to do with himself. He inhaled smoke and was having breathing difficulties, remember?

Oh, and a message to everyone else; can you pleas get your characters to the R+R now? And once they're in there, leave them until the next part starts; I don't want this getting as abhorrently messy as the end of W@RF 6 did.

[dripik]

OOC:

Rather than posting many short posts, it's better to make a series of shorter posts.

Longer, you mean. We shouldn't confuse people any more, I think.

Otherwise yes, what Splat said.

Despite my promise, I can't IC tonight, some ice-skating and preparation-for-term-papers going down. Not the best combination, I know.

[OddYouko]

That's ok dripik. ^^
Shall we say #7 Slig and Roy went to the R+R room then?

[odd prodigy]

ooc sorry didnt know i fell dumb even after i had read the rules ):

IC murch over heard the gluckkon and knew he should get to his dorm in the slave quarters or else. he wondered what the meeting was about as he sneaked way from the cafeteria and to his dorms. he decided he would sneak it out and find out for himself. he grabbed his sling from underneath his bed " i'll need you tomorrow." he mumbled to himself. he also grabbed a few lug nuts e found a while ago as ammo aswell. he then went to bed on the cold iron spring bed......

[stonetooth]

ooc my bad splat, never knew that there was a limit per posting per day, didn't mean to post to much, my bad.

IC

Whenever Golig got to his quarters, he looked around to see if anyone else was there.

"Doesn't look like there is anyone around." He said quietly to himself, and crept slowly to his bed. As he began to take off his metal pants to go to sleep, he saw a few other people there, but not many, and they were asleep.

So he put his metal pants away, and layed down on his bunk, and he finally feel to sleep after a hour of figiting, which wasn't very normal for him, but he was going to get a good night's sleep tonight.

[Splat]

ooc: It's ok guys; it's an additional rule for W@RF, though most RPGs on OWF have had a post-per-day rule (and it does help! I've been swamped out of RPGs on other sites either because I was in a different timezone to most of the other players or because I didn't have the time to be on so much of the day. It's a great rule to have). The rules-thread does state you should check the first post of the RPG you want to join for extra rules, but I think Dripik and I forgot to mention it at the start of W@RF 8 in light of everything else we had to say.
No worries

Oh, and Slash is a flying slig; a character owned by the player, Zerox. I don't know if Zerox is still around but I'll give him a chance to post before putting Anni to bed. I might PM him tomorrow actually...

IC:

Jim sat up as Dek removed the camera-tube thing from his mouth, and then after a word with Krik, left the lab through a back door. "Um..." He said, to little effect.

Krik followed Dek into the vykker's R+R and looked around. It was a fairly pleasant room (from a vykker's point of view, at least) but he was slightly annoyed that he would have to be sharing a room with the other vykker. "You realise you left that mudokon in there on its own?" He asked Dek, gesturing back through the door. "I imagine he'll want to know your diagnosis."

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

Dionysia arrived at the R+R and looked around. She had slept little the previous night and was at least relieved that this night would be less disturbed; the terrorist-suspect she had spent the night watching in shifts with #7 Slig had been dealt with and she had no qualms about slipping into a bed with a very low sigh. A moment later she was asleep.

[Munch's Master]

Dek spun around.

"So I did...Sorry, tiredness is making me absent minded."

He wandered back in to the main room, where Jim had removed the fibreoptic cable.

"Good news and bad news. Good news is there's no severe or loing term damage. Bad news is your lungs are mildly infected so you'll need some prescription antibiotics. Painkillers might help too, since you'll probably have a sore chest and throat for a few days. Can I sort the prescription out tomorrow, its awful late now."

OOC: Only just noticed the actual activity :P Awesome.

IC: Silph yawned as he left, pleased for an excuse to do so. He pondered if every day here was like this. He could get used to doing virtually no work. He power walked back to the R+R to use up some energy for a rest.
Most everyone else was still busy getting sorted before retiring. He found a rather modded-out looking Snoozer stood in a corner. The slight dilating sound seemed to suggest it was doing some inner workings. Silph went and sat on the bed nearest it, watching it intently.

---

Slash was startled by the sudden voice, but regained his composure as he listened to the announcement. He nodded and headed off after the Mudokon as she slowly trudged back. He carried on their conversation "I started here just yesterday. Managed to get some old busted elevator fixed then, so I'm quite pleased with it. Didn't get much done today though. Time sure can fly..."

[dripik]

OOC:

Shall we say #7 Slig and Roy went to the R+R room then?

I suppose so. But I'll put it into IC now, so don't worry about that.

I have some plans for the new beginning. Having all of the characters at one place makes organizing things a bit easier, that's why I - that is, Arnie - decided for the Cafeteria meeting.

As a note to you new W@RFers, I think you'll make your life easier if you only keep a few (i.e. not more than 2 or 3) characters at the start. Learn from me; I tend to forget about some of my characters as well, and I have five of them.

And; Splat, would you update the W@RF map again? The main lifts are not broken anymore (respect to Slash).

Zozo, let's say that RG dropped Dimitrio somewhere. No proper explanation for this one.

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

#7 Slig, followed by Roy, were walking to the Production Lines when Arnie's announcement went off. #7 Slig stopped. "I guess we better follow orders... But I'd like to take a look at the Lines first, to make sure everything is OK... I mean, as OK as it could get. If you want to come along, Roy, you can, but it's not necessary."

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

In the meantime, RG's visuals came back to life with some static noise. "A bit like déja vu, huh, RG?"

Rick was standing in front of the robot, looking at him with a smirk. RG realized that his right arm was extending forwards, so he lowered it. He recalled what happened to him: he was heading to the Storage to look for someone, when everything went black and he shut down.

RG looked at Rick. "Could you tell me, Mudokon organic, what rendered me... uh, what is the word... unconscious?"

"No idea, but the good ol' Secondary Batteries trick solved the problem." said Rick, pointing at the console on the robot's right arm. "Your batteries were probably low."

"You speak the truth, organic." said RG, surprised. "Among my registry logs, there is an entry refering to power shortage. I take it was you who activated my secondary batteries then."

"Yeah, just like the time when I found you in that storage room, remember?" asked Rick.

"Vaguely. I led you out from the room at gunpoint, I believe." said RG.

"Yeah. Well, never mind that now, the Boss wants us to return to R+R. Tomorrow, he'll arrange a meeting in the Cafeteria, so be there."

"I'll ignore your ordering me around this once." said RG, and Rick realized that he was maybe a bit too imperative with the robot, which is not a wise move. "Afterall, you did reactivate me... again. I'll return to the Security Office and recharge my primary batteries."

"You do that. I'll get some sleep." They both headed towards the stairs, and got up to the first floor. There they split up: Rick went inside the R+R, while RG walked inside the Security Office, stood in his corner and plugged into the charger unit.

Meanwhile, in the R+R, Rick walked to his bed while looking around. He saw some new faces - like the Snoozer in the corner - and some of the older workers - like Dionysia or Arthur, who were sleeping. Rick saw that there's little opportunity for a conversation here, so he got into his bed as well. Another day's passed...

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

OOC: #7 Slig and the Glukkons will turn in in another post. I believe there are other characters out there who still haven't found their way to their beds.

[Splat]

ooc: I'll send you the newest version in time for the next thread; no worries

IC:
Anni grinned, "That's great! They've been broken for sooooo long, I thought they'd never get fixed! And don't worry about today; Arnie won't mind as long as the factory's still running."
More or less at this moment they arrived at the R+R.

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

Jim nodded, "Um, if you're sure it'll be ok for the night..." He got up and left the Lab and headed towards the R+R.


ooc: Sorry for shortness I guess.
Other than that, Anni's in bed and Krik's in his bedroom; I'm sure you don't want any more details than that about a vykker.
