Front Entrance - Where people go in.
Great Room - The main lounge.
Infirmary Wing - Only slightly more equipped than the average hospital. Expect to be here. A lot.
Member Quarters - Where people sleep. Rooms can be fully customized, and several times bigger on the inside than they really should be, due to dimensional mojo.
Gazebo - Step cautiously, and you may just survive.
Pool Area - Indoor Pool and Hot-tubs.
The Armory - If you can kill someone with it, it's there.
The Conservatory - Rare plant specimens abound!
Covered Walkways - Are Covered.

Portal between GLoG and Farthing Cottage. (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=111819) Requested by Kaelaroth.

If you have a question, please read our FAQ first, it may already have been answered:
FAQ:

What's the point? Isn't there already a good aligned organization? Why didn't you just join HALO?

OOC, we have nothing against HALO. (IC may be a different story.) However, we wanted an organization that only allows good-aligned members and focuses on the redemption of evildoers. If the real world can have multiple organizations for the purpose of doing good, we don't see why the forum can't hold more than one as well.

No seriously. Aren't you just a HALO clone?

Not intentionally. We have our own purpose and our own mission, which overlaps somewhat with HALO's, but is not identical.

Why don't you let anyone post in the main thread without PMing first?

OOC answer: Honestly, we tried it, and it was too chaotic to read.
IC answer: You don't let strangers wander into your house at all hours, do you? We just want to know who is in our house.

Still, it seems awfully rude. You've offended a lot of people.

We're sorry. We didn't mean to. :smallfrown:

What's the point of the visitor's centre?

We still want to play nicely with others! So we set up the visitor's centre thread to provide an IC access port.

Are you part of the Town? Or are you in an extra dimension?

We didn't really know at first, but when AMEN contacted us, it seemed clear that we inhabited some sort of reality with AMEN and HALO. Which means we aren't Town. I think. (Really, we're making this up as we go along!)

New answer: Everyone's a part of the town, but the rules are different here, Town laws do not apply. ACRONYM rules do. So respect the rules, and we will all get along just fine. :smallbiggrin:

Will you be interacting with the other groups?

Yes, but we haven't worked out the mechanics yet. We're officially at war with AMEN, but we don't want random fighting going on in our headquarters. So we might be setting up a war thread or a plot thread or something, but we don't know yet.

As far as HALO goes, we have no formal ties with them, though there is some membership overlap, and we're currently in discussions. IC, some of us have formed a negative opinion of HALO. It doesn't mean we have a problem with you OOC. (Honestly, Turtle isn't the brightest crayon in the box, and she's very defensive about being a former evildoer.)

We interact with other groups quite a lot, though the war with AMEN has come to an end.

GLoG is a pretty silly name, isn't it?

Yes. Yes it is. One of our founding members used to belong to the Evil League of Evil (If you haven't heard of it, google 'Dr Horrible'), so when she turned good, it seemed reasonable to form the Good League of Good.


Members Only Areas:
Some areas of the base are DNA locked and alignment locked so that only members with no evil intent can enter unescorted. These include the Security Room, the Armoury, the Detention Wing, and the Artifact Vault.

Artifact Vault - Set next to the Armory, this is where GLoG's major artifacts are stored. The door is DNA locked to members only.
The Brightheart
The Brightheart is a plain orb, set upon a stone plinth labeled 'The Brightheart'. Also on the plinth is a note that says:
'Do Not Remove. Ever. No, not even then. (But maybe then.)'
The Brightheart itself glows with inner light, and throws up a positive energy blanket of moderate strength (heals most surface wounds, and makes undead sick) a few meters in radius. Touching the Brightheart results in having a large amount of positive energy run through you (heals all wounds, and drives undead to near death). Inside the plinth itself is a gate to the Negative Energy realm, which draws off the excess positive energy from the Brightheart. Should the Brightheart be removed, and taken away from the base without the necessary preparations being made, two Very Bad ThingsTM will happen.
A) The Brightheart's positive energy will not be siphoned off, and so it will be returned to full strength, throwing up a powerful positive energy blanket about a kilometer in radius, and killing anyone who touches it, living or no, through sheer positive energy overdose.
B) The gate to the Negative Energy realm will become unstable and tear, creating a giant Negative Energy rift in the middle of GLoG.

The GLoG/HALO portal:
The portal between GLoG and HALO is still open, providing instantaneous transportation between the two organisations.
But anyone passing through it arrives outside the front door. If they've already been cleared (previously interacted with GLoG without hostilities), they can walk straight in without having to roleplay out knocking on the door and so on.
First time visitors, or people who have previously caused trouble have to wait for someone to undeadtime to decide whether they can enter the building (GLoG), or not.

[happyturtle]

[Infirmary Room 2]

Chelonie, who finally sank down into her MagChair once the barbarian rage had passed, does not resist being taken to the infirmary and treated.

[Infirmary Room 3]

Sunny cowers during all of the sonic blasts and crashes of breaking stuff, and even when it's over, doesn't want to show her face.

[Reinholdt]

[Infirmary Room 3]

Butler frowns. Loud noises were loud. He waits until it goes silent. "See, they're gone now ma'am."

[Lex-Kat]

[Infirmary Room 3] (I suppose)

Vidalia comes out of deadtime. Hello?

Herbert carefully bumps against her. Here Miss Vidalia.

+++++++++++++++

Lex undeadtimes in her Detention Cell. She looks unhappy.

+++++++++++++++

Judy goes in search of Vasalisa.

[Reinholdt]

[Infirmary Room 3]
Butler looks up. Vidalia was here the whole time after all. He gives a small smile and moves over to her. "Hi Vidalia ma'am. How are you Vidalia ma'am?" Vidalia probably notices the bounce of excitement that's usually in Butler's greetings is missing.

[Lex-Kat]

Butler!!!! Vidalia jumps at him and tries to wrap him up in a hug.

The only reason I say tries, is because she's still blind and may have mis-judged the distance to him. :smalleek:

Also, she won't notice the bounciness gone quite yet, because she's just overwhelmed to hear him there.

[happyturtle]

[Infirmary Room 3]

A drone floats in carrying a torn and mudsplattered backpack. It has a hand-painted sun on it that is the same design as Sunny's tattoo.

Statement: Evidence found within this backpack suggests that it may be the property of the unidentified patient known as 'Sunny'

Sunny is still crying, and doesn't respond to Butler, but when she hears the drone say her name, she looks up.

[Great Room]

Vasilisa, tired and dirty, has just returned from a long day of administering antidote to afflicted npcs.

[Reinholdt]

Butler will move to make sure she catches him and wraps her in hugs. "I'm glad to see you too Vidalia ma'am. And that you're doing well Vidalia ma'am. I got your letter Vidalia ma'am. I'm happy to hear you still love me Vidalia ma'am." He... sounds happy? A little.
:smallsmile:

[Lex-Kat]

I'm so sorry I hurt you Butler. You and Decker are two of my best friends. You were there when no one else was. She begins to cry.

Then she pulls back a little. Did a drone say something about Sunny's backpack?

++++++++++++++++

Judy approaches Vasalisa. Um , Vasalisa, would you like some water or something?

[happyturtle]

[Great Room]

"Thank you, Judy. I'd appreciate it." Vasi looks emotionally shattered.

[Lex-Kat]

Judy gets Vasalisa some water, quickly returning with it. Here ya go.

[Reinholdt]

"It's alright Vidalia ma'am. Honest Vidalia ma'am. Just so long as you're happy Vidalia ma'am." He looks over.

"Yes Vidalia ma'am. It has the same picture on the backpack as her facepaint on her neck Vidalia ma'am."

[happyturtle]

[Great Room]

As Vasilisa takes the water, she looks around at the wreckage left in Astir's wake. "He was here."



Informative Statement: There is also an ID card inside.
Further information: Though it has been water damaged and cannot be completely read, the picture matches the patient.


Sunny stares at the backpack a moment more before getting to her feet. "Sunny [I]want! Sunny want!" She lunges for the backpack, her expression fierce and determined.

[Darkcomet]

DC is in the great room, scowling as he stares at the spot Astir once was.

[Lex-Kat]

Well, maybe if you or she looks inside, we can get some answers as to who she is.

++++++++++++++++++

Judy looks stunned. He who? She would have to get some drones to clean the mess up.

[Reinholdt]

[Infirmary Room 3]

"Certainly Vidalia ma'am. What is an ID card Vidalia ma'am?" He goes to take the backpack and hand it to Sunny so they can go through it together.

[FireFox]

Sam walks up to Judy. Hey, are you doing all right?

[Lex-Kat]

[Infirmary 3]

I'm not sure, Butler. I've never had one myslef.

++++++++++++++

[Great Room]

I'm fine Sam. How are you? And if you don't mind me asking, how'd Dani, um, you know..... She looks at Sam's tummy.

[happyturtle]

[Great Room]

"Astir. Reinholdt's spouse. The Male."

[Infirmary Room 3]

Sunny snatches the backpack from the drone before Butler can get to it. She immediately sits on the floor and starts pulling things out of it, which get divided into two stacks. In the smaller stack is a wallet, scraps of receipts, a zippered pouch that contains medication, and a few miscellaneous girly items. If Butler wants to look through this stack, Sunny makes no objection.

The larger pile has a notebook, a spaghetti snarl of wiring, and several plastic cases of various sizes. Anyone attempting to touch any of these will have a fight on their hands.

[FireFox]

Sam blushes and looks away. I guess I'm all right, a little sick though...
Somebody else.

[Reinholdt]

[Infirmary Room 3]

Butler probably tries to help with one stack, until seeing how adamantly against it Sunny is, before switching to the other stack. He'll tell Vidalia everything that he sees. Even read off the receipts if she'd like.

It didn't take him long to figure out Comet lied to him and Vidalia is not alright and can't see.
Huh. Butler figured something out. Who saw that coming?

[Lex-Kat]

[Great Room]

Judy waves to DeeCee.

Then looks back to Sam. Mint and I have decided to move out of GLoG. It's too dangerous to have raise a child here.

++++++++++++

[Infirmary 3]

Vidalia will listen to what Butler tells her, and depending on where the receipts are from, may indeed ask him to read them more thoroughly.

[FireFox]

Yeah? She looks back up and nods. Dani and I were talking about doing the same thing too. My friend in HALO knows a lot about demiplanes, and he says we can just stay in one for the duration, you know?

[happyturtle]

[Infirmary Room 3]

Most of the receipts are too water damaged to be readable. Those that are mostly mention electronics.

Butler will find an ID card in the wallet, with a picture of Sunny on it. The lamination is damaged on one end, which caused water to seep in and smear some of the writing, but he can see: "Name: Aurora Fe......"

[Great Room]

Vasilisa starts helping the drones put the Great Room back in order.

[Darkcomet]

DC approaches Vasilisa.

Do you think he'll be back?

[Reinholdt]

[Infirmary Room 3]

Butler conveys this information to Vidalia. Maybe she knows what it means. Clearly this card is mistaken though. This girl's name is Sunny! She said so herself.

[happyturtle]

[Great Room]

"Yes. Until we kill him." Vasi says.

[Infirmary Room 3]

When Butler reads the ID card aloud, Sunny shakes her head. "Not Aurora. Sunny!" See? Butler was right! :smallsmile:

She goes back to examining her plastic boxes, most of which are lined in foam and contain various microchipy looking things.

[Lex-Kat]

[Great Room]

Mint and I have moved into an old members cottage. I figured Annalee wouldn't mind, since, you know, she's dead.

Then Judy turns to Vasalisa. Um, do you have anymore of that potion left?

+++++++++++++++

[Infirmary 3]

Vidalia turns to where she thinks Sunny is. Aurora. She points to the girl.

[Darkcomet]

[Great Room]

"Yes. Until we kill him." Vasi says.

DC's scowl deepens, if anything. I suppose I should tell the drones to shoot him on sight, then.

[FireFox]

Oh? Good... Well, keep in touch. Please.

[Reinholdt]

[Infirmary 3]

"That's Sunny ma'am. I don't know where Aurora is ma'am." :smallsmile:

[Lex-Kat]

[Great Room]

Judy turns back to Sam. How? Do you have a nanotech comm system?

[happyturtle]

[Great Room]

"He must die. But I doubt it will be to that."

Then to Judy. "There is much of the antidote left. Have you encountered more afflicted?"

[Infirmary Room 3]

"Sunny not like Aurora. Sunny like Sunny."

[FireFox]

Sam blinks, then raises an eyebrow. No, but I have a Vergil, a Virtual Global Interface Link. It's a Satphone, really. The number's in my personnel file. How does a nanotech comm work?

[Lex-Kat]

[Great Room]

Not sure. I might even have the name wrong. But it was injected into me a long time ago when I first came here. It's kinda like telepathy, between those with the stuff.

Back to Vasalisa. Well, like I asked yesterday before Lex attacked, I was wondering if it worked on those not afflicted, but with low intelligence.

+++++++++++++++++

[Infirmary 3]

Maybe it's her twin sister or something.

She holds her hand out. May I have the card, Butler?

[Reinholdt]

[Infirmary 3]
"Certainly Vidalia ma'am. Here you go Vidalia ma'am." Butler stands up and takes it to her, putting it in her hand.

[FireFox]

Huh... That sounds interesting...

[Lex-Kat]

[Infirmary 3]

Vidalia holds the card up. Am I holding right, Butler?

[Lord Magtok]

MagSquid arises from his deadtime, letting go of its corpse package and cursing itself for being deadtimed earlier.

We are apologetic, sirs and madams. We shall go now to aid the int...

And just as the thing turns for the door, it collapses onto the ground, its batteries dead.

[Darkcomet]

[Great Room]

"He must die. But I doubt it will be to that."

DC nods slowly. That he must. As long as he's alive... What happened with Reinholdt may happen again.

[Reinholdt]

[Infirmary 3]

Butler checks the card to see. Then nods.
...
Then says so. "Yes Vidalia ma'am. It's being held correctly Vidalia ma'am." Of course this is coming from Butler. But he does know which way is up.

[happyturtle]

[Great Room]

"It is unlikely. But due to the hurry in which it was brewed, Grandmother was not able to test it thoroughly. Its effect on unafflicted humans is unknown."

[Infirmary Room 3]

Ignoring Butler and Vidalia, Sunny begins looking through the notebook, and arranging her tools and parts. Finally she gets frustrated, as there is really not enough room in the infirmary for this, and begins packing everything up again.

"Caretaker? Where Sunny can go? Sunny want make! Sunny want..." She gestures wide with both hands, trying to indicate that she needs more space. "Sunny want more big room."

Reply: Caretaker give Sunny room.
Request: Follow Caretaker.

Sunny gathers up her stuff to do so.

[Darkcomet]

DC heads over to the MagSquid, and after their respective players check with each other, he unscrews a panel on the front and tries to install the new Standard Issue Robot-Battery.

He also silently curses deadtime, but that's normal.

[Lex-Kat]

[Infirmary 3]

vidalia holds out her hand. Herbert, Butler, we need to follow them.

Yes, Miss Vidalia. Herbert bumps into her hand and leads her in following Caretaker and Sunny.

++++++++++++++++++

[Great Room]

To Vasilisa: May I have some?

To Sam: I'll do my best to keep in touch. After we get settled, maybe we can get together at out cottage.

[Lord Magtok]

There's a high-pitched chirp followed by a hum, as the MagSquid rises up to its standard floating position.

-Tern. Intern. We shall go to aid here now, and will ensure that there is a presentable MagCave when the Lord returns. Which he will. The One who is Many does not end.

Aww, how adorable. It's clinging to some crazy "Mag's going to fight his way out of hell with a shiny orb and a pointy holy stick" hope. You could probably get it to believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, too.

[Reinholdt]

[Infirmary 3]

"Yes Vidalia ma'am." Not sure why, but she said to do it. He starts following Sunny too.

[happyturtle]

Caretaker takes Sunny to one of the members room that is well lit and spartan, with several work benches and a single bed. Sunny immediately claims one of the work benches and starts spreading out her tools and parts.

Because she's not at full mental capacity, he sets the room security so that other members can access the room, if they pass the 'no evil intention' alignment check.

[Lex-Kat]

[Sunny's Room]

Vidalia enters the room after Sunny. No evil intent from her.

What's she doing now, Butler?

+++++++++++++++++

[Great Room]

*Judy Pokes Vasalisa*

[Reinholdt]

[Sunny's Room]

"She's setting up some tools to work on something Vidalia ma'am. I have no idea what Vidalia ma'am."

[happyturtle]

[Sunny's Room]

Sunny appears to be assembling the electronic insides to go into her robot casing.

Whether Butler can tell that or not is debatable.

[Great Room]

"... If you wish." Vasi will let Judy have as much of the syrupy thick medicinal smelling potion as she wants. :smallyuk:

[Neon Knight]

Corentin Apollinaire, Gentleman Adventurer, undeadtimes at his post in the infirmary.

Everyone he was guarding has gotten better and left.

With a sigh, Corentin goes to the kitchen to make himself some tea.

[Lex-Kat]

[Sunny's Room]

Sunny, what are you doing?

+++++++++++++++++

[Great Room]

Judy will take the recommended dose for the anti-anti-sentience potion. Thanks. And I believe Lex is still in her holding cell, if you still wish to talk to her. She then teleports away.

[FireFox]

[Great Room]

To Vasilisa: May I have some?

To Sam: I'll do my best to keep in touch. After we get settled, maybe we can get together at out cottage.

I'd like that...

And then she deadtimes.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Runner and Skrall2 undeadtime in the great room.

[happyturtle]

[Sunny's Room]

"Sunny make..." She stops, trying to find the word, and gestures towards the robot casing. "Robot! Sunny make robot!"

Suggestion: Sunny make robot

[Reinholdt]

[Sunny's Room]

"I think Sunny is making a robot Vidalia ma'am." Butler's helping!

[Lex-Kat]

[Sunny's Room]

If Butler could see under Vidalia's bandages, he'd notice her raise an eyebrow. Really. Thanks Butler.

[Neon Knight]

[Kitchen]

Corentin is in the kitchen, drinking tea.

[happyturtle]

[Sunny's Room]

Sunny continues working on her robot throughout the night and deadtime. Vidalia and Butler can stay as long as they like, but they will get very little notice from Sunny.

((deadtime))

[Reinholdt]

[Sunny's Room]

"You're welcome Vidalia ma'am. And she's still doing it Vidalia ma'am. I think she likes it Vidalia ma'am." Normally Butler would sound overjoyed at the praise Vidalia just gave him. Now he sounds flat.

[Lex-Kat]

[Sunny's Room]

What's wrong Butler? Vidalia finally noticed. Now she feels like a dunce.

Let's go to the kitchen and leave Sunny in peace, okay? I'll give you some nice warm milk, how's that sound?

[Reinholdt]

[Sunny's Room]

"Well Decker says I'm sick Vidalia ma'am. And is having me take these pills Vidalia ma'am. I'll be honest, I don't like them Vidalia ma'm. I just don't feel the same since I started taking them Vidalia ma'am. But she says its important to keep you and Comet safe, so I take them anyways Vidalia ma'am." He got lucky his text color didn't change to some sort of gray as it is.

"But yes, some milk sounds fine Vidalia ma'am."

Some milk sounds great. Butler says great. Not fine. :smallannoyed:

[Lex-Kat]

Vidalia is too stupid to know what's wrong with Butler, so she leads him to the kitchen. She hold sout her hand and Herbert takes his place. To the Kitchen, Herbert.

Yes, Miss Vidalia.

And off they go to the kitchen.

[ThePhantom]

[Infirmary]

"Mmm mmmm mmmmm mmm!"

Statement: I am sorry.
Reminder: But that cast has too stay on until your bones heal.

"Mmm mmm MMMM!"

Statement: No, you can't get out of the bed either.

"Mmmm."

Marley is awake, and very bandaged, plus wearing a cast over most of his body.

[Reinholdt]

[Kitchen]
Poor Marley. Didn't even get to tell Butler the good news. Whatever it is. And having a cast everywhere sucks for the itching.

Butler follows Vidalia to the kitchen. "Can I get you something Vidalia ma'am?"

[Lex-Kat]

No, I got it Butler. With Herbert's help, Vidalia goes to the fridge and pours him a glass of milk, then nukes it in the microwave.

A minute later, she hands him the glass of warm milk. She has a glass of greenish water with her.

She listens for Corentin, if he's still there.

[Reinholdt]

"Mmmm... thank you Vidalia ma'am." He drinks the warm milk. Yummy. Though its probably going to make him sleepy soon.

"Are... are your eyes going to get better soon Vidalia ma'am?" :smallfrown:

[Lex-Kat]

Not likely, Butler. From what they told me, they are not there at all. Just.... just..... She begins to cry.

[ThePhantom]

[Infirmary]

"Mmmmmm. Mmmm mmmmm."

Query: Would you like me to find someone to talk to you?

"Mmm mmmmm."

Statement: I will do so.

The med-drone heads of the infirmary to find someone for Marley to talk, well make mmm noises at, to.

[Reinholdt]

Oh no. Oh NO! They said she would be fine! They lied. She was supposed to be fine.

Butler is frustrated. He should be bawling right now, yet all he can feel are twinges of sadness. It wasn't right.

He goes to hug Vidalia. "I'm so sorry Vidalia ma'am." It was his fault. Grrr...

[KerfuffleMach2]

The drone might find both Runner and Skrall2 in the great room.

[Lex-Kat]

Vidalia deadtimes as she is hugged. Still crying.

[ThePhantom]

Query: Would either of you two be interesting in talking to Member Marley?

The med-drone asks Skrall2 and Runner.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Runner nods. Yes. Where is he?

Skrall2 shrugs a little. Sure.

[Reinholdt]

Butler holds on to her as long as necessary before trying to lead her back to the infirmary. He'll note Marley and try to place Vidalia in a bed nearby before turning to him.

"What happened to you sir? Are you ok sir?" Butler, despite talking concerned, doesn't seem to sound or look very concerned. Some people may find this insulting.

[ThePhantom]

Statement: Member Marley is in the infirmary, undergoing treatment for having a flaming piano thrown on top of him.
Statement: I will take you to him.

The med-drone heads to Infirmary 3, where Marley is recovering.

-------

"Mm mmmmm mmm mmm mmmm. Mmm mmmm."

[Reinholdt]

"I'm sorry sir. I don't understand what language you're trying to speak sir. Is that dwarven sir?"

[KerfuffleMach2]

Skrall2 laughs when he hears about the piano. Seriously? Oh, this I have to see.

And they both go to the infirmary.

[ThePhantom]

Runner and Skrull2 should see Marley, with most of his body in a cast, with one of his legs being raised up on one of those medical things you see every once in a while, trying to talk to Butler.

"Mmm mmm mmmmmmm. Mmm mmmm mmmm mmmmmmm."

Statement: You should stop trying to talk if you want your jaw to heal right.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Skrall2 sighs a little and shakes his head. The sigh sounds very strange, more like static from a speaker.

Runner looks at the drone. How long has he been like this?

[Reinholdt]

Butler shakes his head. He has even less idea what Marley is saying now. Huh.

"Ummm... just let me know if you need anything sir."

[ThePhantom]

Statement: Will do some.
Statement: Member Marley has been like for about four hours and ten minutes.

[KerfuffleMach2]

A flaming piano? Seriously? That's just ridiculous, man. And freaking hilarious.

Is he healing well?

[ThePhantom]

Statement: Yes, he healing well.
Statement:Abnormally so.

"MMMMMM MMMMMM MMMM! Mmmm."

Marley's eyes, nearly the only visible part of his body, flare in pain.

Statement: I told you not to try to talk.

[The Bushranger]

Quinn undeadtimes, still helping the meddrones with Chelonie, presumably.


Dani undeadtimes still sitting next to Sam with her arm around her partner's waist.

[Reinholdt]

"Huh, I understand sir. Well I'll be here if you need me sir. I want to stay with Vidalia anyways sir." Butler sinks into deadtime.

If need be, you can leave a note or something with him to look at later.

[FireFox]

Angela is somewhere in the infirmary...


Odd, because Sam was just talking with Judy, and is only now walking towards Dani...

[KerfuffleMach2]

Skrall2 starts wandering around the infirmary.

So, you can understand what he's saying?

[The Bushranger]

Dani falls over as she realises Sam isn't there and the gravity kicks in!
:smalltongue:
Well, not really, but she does blink confusedly as she undeadtimes/wakes up. Sammie? I thought you were right here...



Quinn falls into a chair in the infirmary, exhausted, and rubbing her eyes.

[ThePhantom]

Statement: Yes.
Query: What would be the point of a med-drone if it couldn't understand what the patient was saying?

[FireFox]

Sam smiles. I was just talking with Judy. She and Mint are moving to a little cottage away from here, getting out to raise a baby just like we are.


Angela walks over to Quinn.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Good point. So, do you know how this happened?

Skrall2, in his wanderings, happens to pass by Quinn. Loud footsteps as he goes, since I think it is a tile or linoleum floor. And his feet are steel and clawed.

[The Bushranger]

Dani giggles softly. Guess we're all kinda taking maternity leave, huh? She blushes and stretches her arms for a moment, yawning.



Quinn looks up at Angela through a strand of hair draped over an eye. Hey.

[ThePhantom]

Statement: I was one of the med-drone who sent Member Marley to the infirmary, before more damage could be done to him.

[FireFox]

Yeah...
She blinks.
F***. I'm Pregnant.
Her eyes widen in horror as it just sets in.


Angela manages a slight smile. So... Tobias...

[KerfuffleMach2]

So, you don't know exactly what happened? Like, who did it?

[ThePhantom]

Statement: I do know who caused the injury.
Explanation: After all, for his attack, he has been put on the list of people who drones should attack on sight.
Statement: His name is Astir.

[The Bushranger]

Dani starts to nod, then looks at Sam with a concened, and worried, look.
Yeah. You are. It's gonna be OK, Sammie...
She reaches to squeeze Sam's hand.


Quinn chuckles softly. Yeah. Probably younger then when you came around, too. Talk about awkward...

[FireFox]

Sam draws back, away from Dani. No it's not! God, how could this happen to me!?


So... Like, from the past? She's still wearing just a hospital gown and her torn up pants.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Astir...do you have any files with his description that I could download? That way I can keep an eye out for him as well.

[ThePhantom]

Statement: Yes, I do.
Warning: Astir has been proven very dangerous.

[The Bushranger]

Dani looks very worried now.
Sammie, listen. It's alright! We'll make it through this together and we'll have a beautiful baby girl for you to train!


Quinn shrugs a little. Something like that, I think. I know he's...really good though. She giggles, and, it might be noted, is fully and modesty dressed. :smalltongue:

[KerfuffleMach2]

How dangerous? What can he do?

[FireFox]

Train? She's getting panicky. Really panicky. I can't even train! I can't go on missions, I can't protect people, soon I won't even be able to work out and stay in shape!


Wait... you're that Quinn? Her eyes go wide.

[ThePhantom]

Statement: Unknown.
Rebutal: However, some of his abilities are known.
Statement: He can teleport inside of GLoG, bypassing the antiteleport field. Capable of creating and controlling fire. Also lighting. Kinetic blasts, and using those to throw objects, which is how Member Marley was injuried. Control of his cells. Other than that, details are unknown.

[The Bushranger]

Breath, Sammie! Dani's becoming almost as frantic, now. I'll help you work out and everything! You can protect me! Please, it'll be OK!




Quinn looks startled, then blushes deep.
He...talked about me?
Her voice is almost a squeak...

[KerfuffleMach2]

Hmmm...I shall have to see if there are any upgrades I can make to myself in preparation.

[FireFox]

No no no no no! She starts pacing. I can't do this... I can't go through with this...


Yeah, he talked a lot about a Quinn and a woman named Cat... Angela can't help but grin at her reaction.

[ThePhantom]

Statement: You do that.
Warning: But don't you hurt yourself doing that.
(deadtime)

[KerfuffleMach2]

Runner chuckles a little.

[The Bushranger]

Dani's eyes get bigger as she freezes in place.
Sammie, I... She swallows hard. I'll...there's magic I bet and I'll do it...



Quinn giggles softly. I guess... she trails off, still rosy-cheeked. I guess that means we...at least...yeah...

[FireFox]

Sam's really hysterical by now, and she keeps ranting. No, I can't... this was... this was all I mistake. I need to... I need to make things right.


Angela drops the smile and gets serious. Of course, what with time being screwed up and all, if he dies now, not of that happens. So if you think he's really in danger...

[The Bushranger]

Dani takes a very deep breath.
Sammie, please...take a deep breath, calm down, this will be OK! It's all going to work out alright, love. I promise!



Quinn nods, a worried look on her face. Yeah, and you might vanish in a puff of logic or something too if that happens. We need to figure out where he is...

[FireFox]

Hyperventilating herself, Sam shakes her head wildly and tries to grab Dani's shoulders. I'm so sorry love, but I should have done this when I first found out! And then she tries to teleport away.

Angela nods and lets Quinn do the thinking.

[The Bushranger]

Dani's shouders are grabbed, and her eyes are VERY wide.
Sammie, what are you - no!
She lunges forwards, trying to tackle Sam - only to pass through her dematerilsing form, landing on the floor with a thud.

Where she begins to cry...




Quinn closes her eyes and reaches out with her mind once more, trying to find Tobias...

[FireFox]

The paladin will actually be able to sense his faint, weak little presence.

[The Bushranger]

Dani sits up on the floor.
Buries her face in her hands.
And starts sobbing.



Quinn, meanwhile, quickly directs her mind in the direction of Tobias, trying to figure out where he is - and, also, to try and contact him, her mental voice calling his name.

[FireFox]

He's somewhere Outside.

He reacts to her calling his name... somehow. He just reacts slightly. Maybe his mental presence turns, or steps closer to hers. Either way, he doesn't say, or think, anything in response.

[The Bushranger]

Quinn tries to extend a mental link in Tobias' direction, while at the same time trying to pin down his location further.

To Angela, this likely looks like she's just...er...sitting there with her eyes shut. :smalltongue:

[Lex-Kat]

Dani will feel someone touch her shoulder. What's wrong?

[FireFox]

Just as she gets it, his mental presence just vanishes.
He might be in Freedom Glades.

[The Bushranger]

Quinn's eyes flicker open.
I couldn't be sure. He might be in the Glades...I couldn't be sue if it was Freedom Glades or the Everglades, though. She sighs.


Dani's response to the tap on her shoulder is to turn and wrap her arms around Judy, bawling into her friend's shoulder.

[FireFox]

Angela sighs in annoyance and shrugs.

[Lex-Kat]

Judy hugs Dani, trying to comfort the bawling little girl.

[The Bushranger]

Sammie...she left...I think she's not thinking straight and I'm scared, Judy! Dani finally manages to get out between her sobs as she clings tightly to Judy.


Quinn looks up at Angela. So, should we go after her?

[FireFox]

Angela winces as any last painkillers wear off and the wound on her back flares up. If you want to go, you'd have to go alone...

[Lex-Kat]

Shhh. It's alright. Why do you think she's not thinking straight? Judy continues to hold Dani close, caressing her hair as she rocks slightly.

[The Bushranger]

Quinn rubs her hands through her hair.
I don't know what to do. If he's in trouble I need to save him, if he isn't, he'll yell at me for endangering myself on his behalf...



Dani finally manages to stop sobbing, although whether this is due to Judy's calming or her own simply being unable to is open to question. She said something about how she didn't want to be pregnant and she should have done something the moment she found out and she was going to make things right and...
The sobs just came back.

[FireFox]

I can't help you with that choice, Quinn... Angela sits on the floor and sighs.

[Lex-Kat]

I'm so sorry, Dani. I wish there was something I could do. All we can do is wait and hope that she comes to her senses. That she realizes that she is hurting you and herself. Judy continues to try to comfort her.


((DEADTIME))

[The Bushranger]

Dani nods, and snuggles against Judy, seeking comfort.


Quinn shakes her head. I probably shouldn't. He can take care of himself. She sounds like she's trying to convince herself, though.

[FireFox]

Angela gives the paladin a ghost of a smile. Of course he can. He's the Goddamned Tobias.

[The Bushranger]

Quinn giggles and nods a little. He's really just a big softie under the jackassery though.

[FireFox]

Angela raises an eyebrow. When he found out I was having sex with my boyfriend, he cursed us so we couldn't touch each other without being shocked.

[The Bushranger]

Quinn winces in sympathy.
Ow. Maybe he hardens later...
She pauses, then shakes her head, refusing to think about possible reasons why that might be.

[FireFox]

Angela shrugs and yawns, stretching out.

[The Bushranger]

You should get some rest, Quinn says, slipping into doctor mode. You were torn up pretty awful...

[FireFox]

Angela looks up at Quinn and bats her eyelids, turning up the charm to see how she reacts. Why don't I go to my room, I hate sleeping in these cots, and then you can check out my back to make sure it's healing fine?

[The Bushranger]

Quinn hesitates for a moment, then nods.
That'd probably be a good idea, yeah.
She smiles at Angela and stands.

[FireFox]

Angela walks to her room, takes off her hospital gown, and lies on her bed to let Quinn look at her back.

[The Bushranger]

Quinn blushes a little, but does, indeed, lean over the bed to perform the inspection. Well, it looks like it's healing pretty well...you'll be sore for at least a couple of days, though.

[FireFox]

Yeah, doc? Angela starts to turn over, touching her holy symbol and shooting an invisible, concentrated Lust beam at the paladin.

[The Bushranger]

Quinn unknowingly rolls a Will save. And fails.
You'll...erm...be back to your usual sexy self in no time at all...
She hesitates, her eyes locked on Angela as the other girl rolls over...

[FireFox]

You don't say... Angela smirks and a small pair of silver scissors appears in her hands. She points it at Quinn, and the woman may find herself suddenly undressed.

[The Bushranger]

Quinn would normally protest.
But right now, she doesn't mind a bit.
And as her clothes are magically removed, she pounces Angela, fiercely and hungrily, lips aiming for hers, one hand aiming to remove her pants and the other reaching for the curtain!

[FireFox]

Angela is quickly undressed, and rolls on top of Quinn, both to save her back and teach the paladin a thing or two as the curtain falls.

[billtodamax]

Susan undeadtimes in the greatroom.

There's a knock at the door. And a glow coming from under the bottom of the door. Ominous.

[happyturtle]

[Front Door]

Greeting: Welcome to the Good League of Good.
Query: How may I assist you?
Query: Would you like some cake?

*hiccup*

Sad Correction: There is no cake.

[Sunny's Room]

Sunny has fallen asleep at her workbench. Sitting in front of her is a robot. It has only one claw-handed arm, though with a socket for a second. There are no legs. It's head is hemispheric and has three eyes, arranged in a triangle.

It doesn't appear to be powered up. Also, it is purple.

[Elsewhere in the base]

Chelonie is in Infirmary Room 2, wired up to the gills after getting beaten up by Astir the night before. But in the security room, a ghostly shadow of Chelonie sits at the controls, adding more power to the dimension lock that protects GLoG by temporarily halting armoury repairs.

That being done, it goes to the morgue where the body of Magtok lies, frozen. The Shadow, head bowed in grief, sits next to the corpse in a death vigil.

[billtodamax]

There's James! He's on fire, with two rather large fireballs in his hands. The drone should be powering up to start to shoot him, as he's on GLoG's shoot to kill list. He starts to grunt.

((Sorry, I had a hockey game. Tied, 0-0))

[happyturtle]

[Front Door]

And so the drone shoots a laser out of its single eye, before trying to slam the door in James's face.

[Sunny's Room]

Sunny looks at her robot critically, comparing it to the plans in her notebook. There are still some parts missing. Most importantly, a power supply. She'll have to find one somewhere.

The Sunbot:
http://i431.photobucket.com/albums/qq40/happyturtle-avs/sunbot.png

[FireFox]

Angela quickly dresses in her room, and then packs up some of her clothes and items before trying to leave.

[Neon Knight]

Corentin is in the kitchen, drinking tea.

___

Misaki is waking up in Quinn's room.

[The Bushranger]

Quinn makes no move to stop Angela, laying there pretending to be asleep, watching the cleric depart, and wonding just what in Hades got into her the previous night.
She didn't even like girls that way...

Once she's gone she sits up and sighs, looking down and sighing, wondering exatly how to explain this...
Deciding honesty is the best policy, she raises a hand to her neck and channels a little healing into it before cleaning up, dressing and heading to her own room, gently knocking on the door so as not to surprise Misaki if she's awake.

[Neon Knight]

Misaki goes over and opens the door. "Hi, Quinn."

[happyturtle]

[Kitchen]

Sunny walks in. She seems to have acquired some clothing besides hospital gowns. "Hello Cory." :smallsmile:

[Neon Knight]

Corentin nodded at Sunny. "Hello, Sunny." He held up his cup. "Would Sunny like some tea?"

[The Bushranger]

Hey sweetie. Quinn, looking a little tired out, smiles and pulls Misaki into a tight hug. Sorry you were alone last night, I had a lot of stuff to deal with and kinda collapsed on the spot.

Technically true. :smalltongue:

[Neon Knight]

"It's okay. Mama had to work late too." Misaki hugged Quinn back, quite relieved and happy to see her again despite her assurances.

[happyturtle]

[Kitchen]

"Yes, please." Sunny says. "How Cory? Bad man not hurt Cory?" She's thinking of the Astir attack.

[The Bushranger]

Quinn smiles and nods. I guess that's true, but still... She steps back after a moment and smiles. So what would you like to do today?



Dani is sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of hot tea in her hands, staring into it.

[Neon Knight]

Corentin fixes up a cup of tea for Sunny. It's rather sweet compared to his own dark and bitter cup, but he thinks that will be closer to her preferences. "Cory is alright. Cory wasn't hurt."

Corentin looks to Dani. "Is something wrong, Miss Dani?"

___

Misaki looked back up at Quinn. "I don't know. What do you want to do?"

[The Bushranger]

Well, I'm still pretty tired...but I need to do another inventory check. Maybe you could help me in the Infirmary? Quinn offers, smiling warmly at Misaki.



Dani swirls her tea, then looks up at Corentin, her cheeks stained with tears.
It's Sammie...she kinda...freaked out last night and ran off and I'm scared about what she might do.

[Neon Knight]

Misaki nodded at Quinn. "Okay."

___

Corentin sat down at the table. "I see."

"Miss Dani, I am afraid I can be of little comfort. I have never met Miss Sam, even after all this time knowing you." That seemed to be his fate. A good will, but always impaired from enacting that will to better the lives of those he cared for. "Miss Dani, I know that you are a good woman. I trust that anyone that is worthy of your love is a good person, as well. I can't say for sure, but I think things will work out."

[The Bushranger]

You can be my assistant! How would you like that?
With a bigger smile now, Quinn reaches for Misaki's hand to lead her to the Infirmary.
Where Quinn's first order of business is to check on Chelonie.



Dani listens to Corentin for a moment, then nods, but looks only slightly reassured. I...I really hope so. I'm scared for her.

[happyturtle]

[Kitchen]

Scary emotional stuff! Sunny decides to try and slip out unnoticed. And go hunting for something that would make her robot work! Maybe she'll run into DC in the labs?

[Infirmary Room 2]

Chelonie is unconscious. She seems to be healing, though somewhat slower than she used to before she had CFS. Not that Quinn would remember, but it would be in the medical records.

[The Morgue]

The Shadow of Chelonie is still sitting vigil over Magtok.

[Neon Knight]

"Okay!" Misaki held Quinn's hand and obediently followed her to the infirmary.

___

Corentin nodded. "I know. And it hurts when all you can do for someone is be scared. But that is the way the world works. If you can find Sam, and show that you are concerned for her... maybe it will help."

[Darkcomet]

The labs, you say?

DC is there, tweaking with something that looks (vaguely) handgun-shaped.

[happyturtle]

[The Labs]

"Hello DC. What you make?" Sunny is very interested.

[The Bushranger]

Dani nods, and leans over to hug Corentin tightly.
Thanks, Cory.



Quinn points at a drawer that contains the various potions the infirmary has, handing Misaki a checklist. Can you go through those and check them off on here to see if they're all still there, sweetie?

A moment later she's frowning over Chelonie, then attempts another Lay On Hands.

[Neon Knight]

"I am always at your service, Miss Dani. I hope to present when you and Sam are happily wed." He returned the hug gently.

___

Misaki goes over to the drawer and begins checking things off, an obedient and thorough little assistant.

[The Bushranger]

You will be, Dani promises, before giving Corentin a quick kiss on the cheek before pulling back and standing.
I'm going to take a swim...



Misaki will discover that the potions...are all there! Whee!
Quinn is stilly Laying Hands on Chelonie.

...not like that! :smalleek:

[happyturtle]

[Infirmary Room 2]

Chelonie wakes with the Lay On Hands and looks up at Quinn.

[Morgue]

The Shadow vanishes.

[Neon Knight]

Corentin nodded. "Perhaps the exercise will help."

___

"They're all here, Quinn." Misaki walked up to Quinn, peeking around her a bit to look at Chelonie. "Is she going to be okay?"

[Darkcomet]

[The Labs]

"Hello DC. What you make?" Sunny is very interested.

Er...

DC is obviously unsure of how Sunny would react.

Gun.

Rather hesitantly, really.

[The Bushranger]

I hope so.
Dani gives Corentin a weak, but warm, smile as she heads off to change.



I think so, Quinn says softly to Misaki before smiling at Chelonie. Welcome back to the land of the living, Miss Amakirr. Do you know where you are?

[happyturtle]

[The Labs]

"What 'gun' do?" :smallconfused: She doesn't know the word. "Sunny make robot!"

[Infirmary Room 2]

"'Firmary" Chelonie says, her voice groggy. "Astir hurt anyone else?"

[Neon Knight]

Corentin watches her go, smiling as well. Once she is gone he lifts up a hand to touch the place on his cheek that she kissed, then shakes himself and returns to his bitter tea.

___

Misaki stands back and quietly watches Quinn and Chelonie interact.

[Darkcomet]

[The Labs]

"What 'gun' do?" :smallconfused: She doesn't know the word. "Sunny make robot!"

Hm?

DC thinks for a moment. How to put it...?

Show DC robot.

[The Bushranger]

Marley, Quinn confirms. Worse than you, actually. I don't think anybody else was hurt too badly.

She looks up at Misaki. Can you bring me one of the blue potions, sweetie? The one marked CCW?

[Neon Knight]

Misaki nodded and went over to the drawer, finding the potion and double checking to make sure she had the right one before returning and handing it to Quinn.

[happyturtle]

[The Labs]

Sunny beams in delight at the request, and leads DC to her room...

[Sunny's Room]

... where he sees the robot.

http://i431.photobucket.com/albums/qq40/happyturtle-avs/sunbot.png

If DC looks inside, he'll see that it has been fitted with a cpu and visual and auditory sensors, but lacks a power supply or anything to provide movement for the arm or head. It has a socket for placement of a remaining arm, but no legs or any other method for the entire unit to move itself.

There's a very battered notebook nearby that looks like it spent some time out in the weather. It seems to contain drawings of the plans.

[The Bushranger]

Quinn takes the potion, quickly checks it, then beams at Misaki. Thanks, sweetie.
Turning back to Chelonie, she uncorks the potion. This should help with healing the rest of your wounds, she says. I don't know if will do anything for your underlying condition, unfortunatly.

[Darkcomet]

Hm...

A floating robot, perhaps? DC looks for somewhere that looks like a power supply would go there.

[happyturtle]

[Sunny's Room]

There is a place for a power supply, yes. She just didn't have one to put there, or the language to ask for it.

"DC like? Sunny make good robot?"

[Infirmary Room 2]

Chelonie's burns and lightning damaged are healed, though still a little slower than usual. "No, I don't think there's a cure for the CFS. But thank you for trying."

[Neon Knight]

Misaki smiled, pleased at the praise, and stood by, waiting for Quinn to ask her to do something else.

[Darkcomet]

Wait.

And so DC heads back to the labs! To get another Standard Issue Robo-Battery.

And he'll return, and try to direct Sunny in installing it.

[happyturtle]

[Sunny's Room]

Sunny is a quick study. She gets the power supply installed and turns it on.

The robot powers up.

[Lord Magtok]

The robot blinks, and moves its arm about slightly, before going into a panic.

Sunny? Sunny! Where's my other arm?! Sunny, my arm! They took it, didn't they?! Oh no, what have they done with my aaaarm?!

[The Bushranger]

You're welcome. Quinn nods, but nontheless mixes the potion into a glass of water and hands it to Chelonie. You should still take that though, just to be sure. She gives Misaki a smile. Could you fix Miss Amakirr a light breakfast, sweetie? One poached egg and toast, perhaps, with a glass of juice?

[Darkcomet]

DC stares at the robot and is silent, honestly rather surprised it's working.

[Neon Knight]

"Okay!" Misaki dashed off to the kitchen to fix up the food.

[happyturtle]

[Sunny's Room]

Sunny claps her hands in delight. "Sunny make robot! Sunny make robot!"

Robot will find that it can't move its single arm very far, as a proper mechanical motor hasn't been installed, nor can it rotate its head. It also should have a hover unit that has not yet been installed.

[Infirmary Room 2]

Chelonie follows doctor's orders. "Has anyone done anything about increasing security around here?"

[The Bushranger]

Quinn nods a little. I've been busy, but I think things have been worked on. I know some things have been done, and I'm sure our new security director will be making things even more secure than they already are. She pauses and frowns as she drops into a seat. Somebody needs to take out Astir.

[Neon Knight]

Misaki returned bearing a plate with breakfast on it. "Here you go!"

[Lord Magtok]

The robot chitters nervously, and tries to pull itself away from that strange DC person thingy, using its arm to drag itself along. It'll try to move as close to Sunny as it can, its creator is probably the only safe, trustworthy thing in this entire scary horrifying place of doom.

[Darkcomet]

DC is still silent, maybe a little amused at the terrified robot as he watches it.

[happyturtle]

[Sunny's room]

Sunny knows what scared looks like. "Robot need more parts. Sunny find parts, fix robot. Not be scared, Robot." She says, trying to reassure it.

[Infirmary Room 2]

"New security director? Is Wenomir... was he killed?" Chelonie asks.

[Lord Magtok]

F...fine. But who is that?

It points at...whoever that person with the dark hair and the gun is. That's a stranger, an unknown, a potential hostile, a danger, a threat, and it probably ate the other arm! :smalleek:

[happyturtle]

[Sunny's Room]

"That DeeCee!" she says. "What you name, Robot?"

[Darkcomet]

DC is still silent.

Also, he left the unfinished gun in the lab and is not carrying the ion cannon at the moment.

[Lord Magtok]

The robot places its claw on its head, and its eyes fade out for a moment, attempting to imitate a blink.

Name?

[happyturtle]

[Sunny's Room]

"You not have name? You name got stoled like Sunny's knowing?" :smalleek:

[Darkcomet]

DC is still silent, obviously enough.

[Neon Knight]

Corentin is still in the kitchen, working at his tea.

[Lord Magtok]

The strange manner of speech starts to confuse the tiny automaton.

Sunny's "knowing"? Did something happen to your CPU, mistress?

[happyturtle]

[Sunny's Room]

Sunny nods. "Sunny CPU got broke. Sunny lose data and words." :smallfrown:

[Darkcomet]

DC... Remains silent. Yeah.

[Lord Magtok]

The tiny machine tries to pull itself along and then grab Sunny's hand with its own clunky claw hand.

That is...doubleplusungood, mistress. Do you know the thinkbreaker?

[happyturtle]

"Sunny not know who stoled knowing."

[Lord Magtok]

The robot points at DC again.

DC is maybe ungood thinkbreaker, mistress?

[Darkcomet]

No, no he is not. The 'ungood thinkbreaker' is no longer functional.

Robot-speak, yaaaaaaay.

[The Bushranger]

[Infirmary Room 2]

"New security director? Is Wenomir... was he killed?" Chelonie asks.

He actually resigned, Quinn says, quickly, not having realised that Chelonie didn't know that. I'm not exactly sure why but I think the explosion in the armoury might have been connected somehow.

She glances torwards the door as she waits both for an answer and for Misaki to return.

[happyturtle]

"Thinkbreaker unmaked?" Sunny asks. "Who unmake thinkbreaker? Unmaker find Sunny's knowing?"

[Infirmary Room 2]

"Then who is the new Security Director?" she asks.

[Neon Knight]

Misaki returned bearing a plate with breakfast on it. "Here you go!"

Misaki is still patiently holding the plate out to Quinn.

[The Bushranger]

((Whoops! Sorry I missed that NK))

Quinn smiles and takes the plate from Misaki with a smile. Thanks, sweetie! You did great. Turning back to Chelonie, she offers her paitent the breakfast as she explains. Nobody yet. From what I understand your husband and Miss Judy are both canidates. Miss Goswell isn't because of her being pregnant, it seems.

[happyturtle]

[Infirmary Room 2]

"That's not good. We need the post filled right away. And Mr Amakirr... his vampire state means that he's often in torper. I'm not sure he'd be a good choice." Plus there's his rage issues. And the fact that he'd let GLoG be destroyed if it would save Chelonie from stubbing her toe. :smalltongue:

Chelonie takes the breakfast with a smile and begins eating mechanically, knowing her body needs the fuel but not really much interested in food.

About that time, Decker appears, who her player does not think Quinn has met. "Hi, I'm looking for the doctor."

[Lord Magtok]

The machine turns towards DC.

Mistress and I ask plusknowing of thinkbreaker's unmaking. Also unmocking of BotSpeak.

Its little eyes dim around the upper edges with that last sentence, apparently doubleplusunhappy with DC's imitation of its own speech patterns.

[Darkcomet]

DC frowns. The thinkbreaker's unmaker was unmade at the same time. Sorry, Sunny.

[The Bushranger]

No reaction from Chelonie to the fact that Sam is pregnant? :smalltongue:
So far it seems there is only one vote - for Miss Judy. Quinn was going to say more, but looks up slightly startled as Decker arrives. Er...I guess that would be me, at the moment. I'm Quinn, and you?

[Neon Knight]

Something suddenly occurs to Corentin in the kitchen. Whatever happened to Miss Shrike? In all the hub-bub since the armory explosion, Corentin hasn't checked up on her. Were her personal effects ever returned to her?

[happyturtle]

[Infirmary Room 2]

With everything Chelonie has been though, I don't think she even knew that Sam was in a relationship.

"I'm Decker. When will Vidalia get her new eyes?"

[Sunny's Room]

"Oh." Sunny looks sad for a moment, but then she perks up. "Sunny make more thinks."

[The Bushranger]

Actually they weren't returned...
dun Dun DUN!



Heh...


Wait. Quinn says to Decker. Somebody else got blinded?!

[Neon Knight]

Well, Corentin doesn't have anything to do. Corentin finds a drone, asks it where Shrike's things are, and moves to collect them and head out to Yaza's.

[Lord Magtok]

And find an arm and transport speedwise, mistress.

An awfully self-absorbed little robot, isn't he?

[happyturtle]

[Sunny's Room]

"Sunny need more parts. DeeCee? Where Sunny can get parts for Robot?"

[Infirmary Room 2]

"Not blinded. Her eyes were destroyed in the explosion." Decker says. "Butler and I are worried about her, but we have to go soon for Butler's surgery."

Chelonie continues to eat. The procreative activities of members concern her less at the moment than the security arrangements.

[Elsewhere]

Fortunately, Shrike's sword was recovered from the armoury debris before Chelonie's Shadow stopped the clean-up effort to focus on security. It'll be found by Corentin in the room acting as the armoury replacement. Her other, non-weapon, gear is in storage in the detention wing.

[Neon Knight]

Corentin recovers Shrike's things and heads out.

:smalltongue:

Oh. Well. I think there's a wand of Regenerate around here somewhere...Misaki? Could you take this - she goes to hand the girl a clipboard - and find it? I think it was in the cabinets over there...

[Darkcomet]

DC's player snaps to attention.

Back in the place DC was in before.

[Neon Knight]

Misaki takes the clipboard and heads over to the cabinet, to begin searching through it.

[Sunny's Room]

Sunny tries to pick Robot up to carry him to the labs. It's a bit large and heavy to be easily carried though.

[Infirmary Room 2]

"Are you sure that will work? I think she needs to have new eyes implanted," Decker says.

Chelonie finishes her meal and sets the plate aside. She's quite exhausted from the effort of eating.

[The Bushranger]

Misaki will find the Wand of Regeneration in the third cabinet on the left.
No, her other left!
:smalltongue:


It should, Quinn says. Hopefully.
And, like a good nurse, she takes the plate before fussing over her paitent, trying to tuck her back in.

[Neon Knight]

Misaki returns bearing the wand in one hand. "Is this it?"

[The Bushranger]

It is. Thanks! Erin beams at the girl and takes the wand, offering it to Decker. Do you know how to use one of these?

[happyturtle]

[Infirmary Room 2]

Decker takes the wand rather gingerly. "I... can try."

[Darkcomet]

The robot may seem to become mysteriously lighter to Sunny as DC attempts to telekinetically hold it up for her.

[The Bushranger]

Do or do not, et-cetera. Quinn smiles encouragingly before returning her attention to making Chelonie comfortable.

[Earl of Purple]

Eko the lizardperson undeadtimes on the ceiling in the Great Room. She's not wearing any clothing, but it's rather hard to tell her gender by people who don't have a knowledge of lizard anatomy.

((Deadtime))

[Lord Magtok]

Sunny's robot is lifted, but doesn't seem to notice yet. Good thing too, it'd probably flip out if it knew.

[happyturtle]

[Sunny's Room]

Sunny carries Robot to Darkcomet's lab, with telekinetic assistance. Yay!

[Infirmary Room 2]

"Thank you," Decker says, and pockets the wand. "I guess I'd better go find her then."

Chelonie falls asleep.

[Darkcomet]

DC follows, and starts working on the gun he was working on before Sunny arrived before after they arrive.

[happyturtle]

The Labs

Sunny installs hover motors in Robot, which will be functional whenever his player wants him to be mobile. This could be as soon as his next post or as late as never!

((deadtime))

[billtodamax]

The door is shut in James' face. He knocks on it again. With a fireball.

[The Bushranger]

Quinn, heading to the kitchen for lunch, yanks the now-flaming door open.
We just had to replace this door less than a month ago...



Dani, wearing her one-piece, heads for the pool.

[billtodamax]

There's James outside! He grunts, and throws a rather large fireball at Quinn.

[The Bushranger]

Quinn dives for the floor, her hair getting signed, and returns fire with a sonic blast to James' legs.



Dani starts swimming, seeming to be trying to get her mind off something.

[billtodamax]

James' leg is hit with the blast, and he responds by flamethrowering the area above Quinn, then down onto Quinn to prevent escape. He's on the ground now too. He'd probably do something about that. But he doesn't have sentinence.

[The Bushranger]

Quinn gets mildly crispy, but then Dimension Doors above James, with the intent of landing on top of him.

And giving him a strong suggestion that falling asleep is in order.

[billtodamax]

She lands on him, but probably gets badly burnt when he falls asleep and stops suppressing the flamey aura. It's hot enough to melt a bullet mid-flight.
She might wanna get off.

[The Bushranger]

Time for another Dimension Door, then!

Straight into the pool!

This surprises Dani, of course...

[billtodamax]

James starts slowly sinking into the ground.
