You have just entered room "doomsdayepisode2."
TheWaiChibiAngel has entered the room.
Marshmallow DM has entered the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: *Deeum wakes up to, well...something not being quite right...looking around, she can notice that the room is shaped a bit like a hexagonal prism...*
Marshmallow DM: ...ughh..huh?
T3chn0Namagomi: *The room seems to be in such a position where there is a flat floor and ceiling in the middle, but then slants inward. Also notable is that she is not quite alone--in front of her bed is two more, back to back.*
T3chn0Namagomi: *On the left end of the room, where it is also slanted...there seems to be two more beds, and a door on the ceiling*
Marshmallow DM: *looks to see if anyone else is in the room with her*
T3chn0Namagomi: *The four beds seem to be full. Almost as if on cue with her checking, Zeke seems to wake. Being in the bed on the left of the door*
Arch mage144: *eyes snap open*
Marshmallow DM: *sitting up!*
T3chn0Namagomi: *He feels especially groggy...and may notice that he has some trouble breathing out of his nose*
Arch mage144: ...ugh...
Arch mage144: ...*tied down or otherwise restrained?*
T3chn0Namagomi: *No*
Arch mage144: *tries to sit up* ...fuck.
Arch mage144: How the hell am I still alive?
Marshmallow DM: Where ar-- *rubs her head* e we?
Arch mage144: *looks around* I am willing to guess a prison cell.
T3chn0Namagomi: *Deeum notices that though her armor is gone, she seems to have some sort of plain gray outfit on*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Same for Zeke*
Marshmallow DM: Ugh..*looks to see if the others maybe here?*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Zeke seems to feel almost as if something is, well...clogging his nose*
Arch mage144: >.< *tries to blow it*
Marshmallow DM: *Deeum feeling the same way?*
T3chn0Namagomi: *No. And the contents of Zeke's nose are emptied, revealing, well...some of that nasty greenish mucus that occurs when you get a cold*
Arch mage144: *wipes it on the bedsheets*
Arch mage144: IM: Gas. That was it.
Arch mage144: *looks around for Myrnal and Nezetta--as soon as he finds Myrnal, will attempt to wake her*
Marshmallow DM: *gets out of bed if she can*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Myrnal also wakes...and so does a familiar blue-haired mercenary, as he sits up...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Deeum is fully capable of getting out of bed!*
Arch mage144: Kam-Kam? That you?
Lithaladhwen: *hand slips under her pillow before her eyes even open*
T3chn0Namagomi: -.- Don't...call me that...
Lithaladhwen: IM: Oh where in the fuck am I now.
Arch mage144: Shit, man, they got you too? I thought Valthi didn't take prisoners. What the hell're we alive for?
T3chn0Namagomi: I have no idea myself.
Arch mage144: *checks--presumes he's had his gear confiscated*
Marshmallow DM: Kamos! *runs to!* What in the hell is going on?
T3chn0Namagomi: *That presumption is correct*
Lithaladhwen: ....
Lithaladhwen: Zeke.
Arch mage144: At least they aren't totally stupid. We've been disarmed.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...I'm not quite sure myself...
Arch mage144: ...Myrnal. I was just about to wake you.
Marshmallow DM: Where's Nez?
Lithaladhwen: *low, patient voice* Thank you. That's very kind of you. I seem to be missing my knives. That's a bit ...bothersome.
Lithaladhwen: Do you have any idea where we are?
T3chn0Namagomi: *In the bed in front of Myrnal's...Nezetta is sleeping*
Arch mage144: We're in Valthi prison. I'm surprised I was allowed to keep my dick.
Arch mage144: The fact that they took your knives is not shocking.
Marshmallow DM: .....
Marshmallow DM: Wait wh-- Ok, i'll ask later.
T3chn0Namagomi: Damnit...ugh...my hand hurts like...*seems to feel his left hand, before...* The hell?!
Lithaladhwen: I'm going to need those knives back. And I want my belt as well.
Lithaladhwen: *sits on the edge of her bed*
Lithaladhwen: *still weirdly calm*
Marshmallow DM: *looks to see what's going on with Kamos' hand!*
Arch mage144: IM: Belts hold up pants. You don't need your belt.
Arch mage144: *is there a door, exit, or other evident way out, or are we in a metal box with no openings?*
T3chn0Namagomi: *holds his hand up, looking at it. It looks perfectly fine, save for an odd black gem in the back of it*
Arch mage144: Hey, they gave you body jewelry.
T3chn0Namagomi: *There's a door on the slanted wall/ceiling of the left side. Well, maybe more of a hatch*
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Ha. ha. ha. Very funny.
Marshmallow DM: *only Kamos got one?*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Nezetta seems to wake up*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Yes, only Kamos*
Arch mage144: ...we're probably underground. I bet this is some sort of bunker.
Marshmallow DM: What's THAT for?
Arch mage144: Either that or a basement oubliette.
T3chn0Namagomi: If I knew, I'd be able to tell you.
Lithaladhwen: *deep breath*
Arch mage144: Alright, so this is pretty weird.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Mumbles something*
Marshmallow DM: I motion to get the fuck out.
Arch mage144: We managed to kill some of those bastards and then they gassed us. It's like they were expecting it the whole time.
Arch mage144: We were fucking set up.
Lithaladhwen: I think you're right.
Marshmallow DM: *goes to the possible door!*
Arch mage144: If that isn't locked, I'm going to die laughing.
Arch mage144: That might hinder my escape a little.
T3chn0Namagomi: *Oh yes. It's locked*
Marshmallow DM: *Curses!*
T3chn0Namagomi: *They're Valthi, not retards. XP*
Marshmallow DM: *We can only hope..*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Nezetta seems to feel that her stomach hurts. An ASSLOAD.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Aghh! *Sits up*
Marshmallow DM: *are there any windows here?*
T3chn0Namagomi: *No windows*
Lithaladhwen: *another deep breath*
Marshmallow DM: *Vents? nothing?*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Just some light through a couple of slits in the aforementioned door*
Lithaladhwen: Well. I think that while leaving would be lovely, it might be a little difficult to manage. If any of you fine people see anything sharp lying around, would you kindly grab it for me?
Marshmallow DM: *tries to look through one of the slits if she can*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...What....Happened?
Lithaladhwen: We're mildly fucked. That's the important part.
Marshmallow DM: We got caught. That's what happened. *Squint/look*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Deeum sees...a hallway. Also hexagonal in shape, and having more hatches*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Nezetta might notice that she has been bandaged around the general abdominal area*
Marshmallow DM: *no one else there?*
Arch mage144: This sucks. We're stuck in a cell until they decide to come execute us.
Arch mage144: Valthi interrogations usually go something like that. "What's your name?" "Zeke." "Okay." Then you get a bullet in your brain.
Lithaladhwen: Good to know. Thank you.
Lithaladhwen: *stares at the palms of her hands*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...
T3chn0Namagomi: *Zeke manages to hear some footsteps approaching...*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Oh....Right...
Marshmallow DM: Argh. Nothing. *still looking*
Arch mage144: ...someone's coming.
T3chn0Namagomi: *The footsteps approach even further...and then simply go by*
Arch mage144: ...I stand corrected, someone's leaving.
Marshmallow DM: *Can Deeum see anything? She's still looking*
T3chn0Namagomi: *She sees a guard go by!*
Marshmallow DM: Uuugh.
T3chn0Namagomi: *From her brief glimpse, he seems to be wearing a different outfit from the corporate guards they were dealing with earlier*
Marshmallow DM: Unless one of us can somehow take the form of water.. we're stuck.
Arch mage144: ...that is an interesting suggestion, but not my deal.
Lithaladhwen: Nor mine.
T3chn0Namagomi: Definitely not mine.
Arch mage144: We could always try to blow the door off its hinges and bust out, but that could be suicide.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Finally tries to get out of bed. How does she feel magicwise?*
Arch mage144: Not having weapons doesn't totally disarm me.
T3chn0Namagomi: *She feels so-so, magicwise*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Weapons?
Lithaladhwen: We aren't all so lucky, Zeke.
Lithaladhwen: *positively serene*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Is she wearing the same gray getup?*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Yep. With no boots, either*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Everyone's barefoot*
Arch mage144: Man, I need shoes.
Arch mage144: I need clothes that aren't gray, while we're at it.
T3chn0Namagomi: <_< At least we HAVE clothes.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Stands!*
Marshmallow DM: .. Yeah, thankful for that.
Arch mage144: Dude, why?
Arch mage144: I'd be just as happy otherwise.
Arch mage144: *grins a little*
Lithaladhwen: Zeke...*sighs*
Lithaladhwen: IM: There's simply no deterring him, is there?
Arch mage144: *Zeke has apparently not lost his sense of humor as a result of imprisonment*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Shut up and think of a way out of here.
Arch mage144: Like I said. We could blow the door off its hinges with magic unless it's reinforced somehow.
Arch mage144: But then we have to fight our way out unarmed.
Lithaladhwen: That would be difficult.
T3chn0Namagomi: And that's not something I'd rather do.
Arch mage144: Yeah, extremely difficult.
T3chn0Namagomi: Though...
TheWaiChibiAngel: The other option is to sit and wait.
Arch mage144: We could get some weapons from guards, but it's not really ideal.
Arch mage144: *shrugs*
T3chn0Namagomi: Hmm...
Arch mage144: Both options sound suicidal to me at the moment.
T3chn0Namagomi: *Myrnal hears a guard approaching*
Lithaladhwen: Hey. Guard.
Marshmallow DM: *waits*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Valthi carry bootknives. Bootknives can be used to kill more Valthi and get more knives.
Lithaladhwen: IM: I just need one to start.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Just...one.
Marshmallow DM: Assuming they stop thistime.
Marshmallow DM: *knows it was in IMS*
Marshmallow DM: What will we do?
Lithaladhwen: Well, they likely won't care if we start pounding the door and yelling for them to let us out.
TheWaiChibiAngel: This is the sort of thing one figures out before they call the guards. *Eyes Myrnal.*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Heheh. I'm very unhelpful today.
Lithaladhwen: *eyes back* Hi, there.
Lithaladhwen: How you feeling?
T3chn0Namagomi: *The footsteps seem to stop right in front of them* -Cell NP3228! You are scheduled for administration of cleaning, food, and drink. Do not attempt anything-
Lithaladhwen: *covers her mouth chuckles quietly*
Marshmallow DM: ...
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...
Arch mage144: ...
Lithaladhwen: If any of you get stabbed... save the knife for me will you?
T3chn0Namagomi: (That was in Valthi)
Arch mage144: -Sweet, I'm starving in here!-
TheWaiChibiAngel: What'd they say?
Lithaladhwen: (They're actually stopping. All she cares about are pointy things.)
Arch mage144: -Can we get some cocktails? I could really go for a bottle of Valthka and cranberry.-
Arch mage144: They're coming in to...feed us. Clean our cell. I dunno.
Lithaladhwen: *laughs outright* How nice.
T3chn0Namagomi: -Shut the hell up!- *fiddling with the door lock occurs, and the hatch is pushed inward, hanging by its hinges*
Arch mage144: *spreads his hands in a gesture that seems to say "hey, give me a break, I'm an innocent guy here!"*
Lithaladhwen: *crosses her arms and continues to sit patiently*
Lithaladhwen: *carefully doesn't stare at his shoes*
TheWaiChibiAngel: IM: This is the worst designed prison ever.
T3chn0Namagomi: *There appears to be two guards there, both dressed in Valthi military garb. Both pointing their rifles* -Get the hell out of there.-
Lithaladhwen: *looks to Zeke*
Arch mage144: -But this room is so comfortable! I thought we were getting breakfast in bed!-
Marshmallow DM: *the worldly look of "we are not amused" to the guards*
Arch mage144: They want us out.
Arch mage144: Oddly enough, for once, I think we want the same thing they do.
Lithaladhwen: 'Kay. *shrugs* Where we going?
Arch mage144: *steps out into the hallway*
Lithaladhwen: *follows*
Marshmallow DM: *follows too*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Goes, probably limping*
Arch mage144: -Watch where you point that thing, man, there're ladies present.-
T3chn0Namagomi: *Zeke gets a rifle pointed at him by the guard on the right, who steps back to accomodate the others. Kamos gets out, and Nezetta is not limping*
Lithaladhwen: IM: We should kill them. Maybe they both have knives. These guys use magic. I'll just owe them a kill when I get some nice shiny bladed things.
Arch mage144: IM: Two of them and four of us. The question is whether I'm willing to risk my ass and take a bullet to give someone else an opening...
Arch mage144: IM: ...at this range it's likely to mean my life. >_<
T3chn0Namagomi: -Shut up, you outsider garbage!- -Get moving!- *A rifle prods Nezetta in the back, as the first soldier seems to be moving while keeping an eye on Zeke*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Prodded* IM: No manners at all.
T3chn0Namagomi: *The second voice seems to be female*
Arch mage144: -Outsider? I'm a pureblood Valthi!-
Arch mage144: -You can go to hell, man! Don't talk shit about my family like that!-
T3chn0Namagomi: *and the group is escorted down the hallway, through a bend, a door, and an intersection* -Yeah, yeah, whatever.-
Arch mage144: IM: Man, I'd never know if she was hot. Stupid helmets.
Arch mage144: -So, are you cute?-
Arch mage144: -Wanna go on a date later?-
Marshmallow DM: *Just wonders where the hell they are going*
T3chn0Namagomi: -Shut the hell up!- *Zeke finds himself on the wrong end of a rifle to the stomach*
T3chn0Namagomi: *They're led to what seems to be a mess hall*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *W* Maybe you should just stop talking.
Marshmallow DM: *just following for now*
T3chn0Namagomi: *The room is rather spacious compared to what everyone is used to recently. Even if there are various inmates, all wearing the gray outfit, at various tables.*
T3chn0Namagomi: -Zeke, I'd take Nezetta's advice for once and shut up.-
Arch mage144: >.<
Arch mage144: *mutters*
Arch mage144: IM: No sense of humor.
Marshmallow DM: *Please god let there be other women there*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Yes, there seem to be other women there amongst the men.*
Lithaladhwen: So. Bet you a gil the food is spectacular.
Arch mage144: If by "spectacular," you mean "ass on a plate," I will gladly take your bet.
Lithaladhwen: IM: At least there are chicks here. This is like one of those dreams that I can never tell will be good or bad till the end.
T3chn0Namagomi: *Nonetheless, they're forced into a line of various people of...strangely enough, varied races. Though primarily human, there are some -halves notable.*
Marshmallow DM: Boy, how much you want to bed it's going to be grey sludge.
TheWaiChibiAngel: IM: They have...THOSE here?
Marshmallow DM: *scoots along in line I guess!*
Arch mage144: It'd be too much to ask for food with color.
T3chn0Namagomi: *smirks at the gray sludge comment*
Lithaladhwen: It would. It would undermine the prison social order.
T3chn0Namagomi: Indeed. People would then begin demanding uniforms in a bright, orange color, say.
Marshmallow DM: Ah. The art of food presentation seems to be long dead.
Lithaladhwen: Surely it would mean chaos if color were permitted.
T3chn0Namagomi: *The guards seem to be gone, and the line seems to quickly move up*
Lithaladhwen: *glances about for eating utensils*
T3chn0Namagomi: *No utensils*
TheWaiChibiAngel: A society with color is a society on the verge of collapse.
Lithaladhwen: *nods to Nezetta*
Lithaladhwen: What, do we eat with our fucking hands?
Marshmallow DM: *Step scoot scoot slide bump*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Zeke, who gets there first...seems to get a glass of water, and...a bread-ish colored bar that he might find rather familiar...not to mention disgusting*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Looks like those rations had to go somewhere. And everyone gets the same thing as well*
Lithaladhwen: Ooh. Thrilling.
Arch mage144: Oh, great. K-rations.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Well, at least it's not gray sludge. *smirking*
Marshmallow DM: Dare I ask what they're made of?
Lithaladhwen: People, maybe.
Lithaladhwen: *tries a bite*
TheWaiChibiAngel: People.
T3chn0Namagomi: *It tastes pretty bad. Really dry and crumbly, too*
Lithaladhwen: *grimaces* Can't be. Humans can't possibly taste this bad.
T3chn0Namagomi: *People would taste much better*
Marshmallow DM: *Waits for them to be seated before eating*
T3chn0Namagomi: *The guards seem to be gone...I guess it's a seat-yourself sort of place*
Marshmallow DM: *find clear spot I guess*
Lithaladhwen: All this nonsense for murdering a bunch of rich guys? What's the world coming to when you can't kill random people with no consequences?
Arch mage144: Not really important what they're made of. *sits*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Random RICH people.
Arch mage144: I don't know the answer, and really don't want to.
Marshmallow DM: *Starts nibbling*
Arch mage144: *takes a bite of his special K bar*
T3chn0Namagomi: *There seems to be a number of guards by the door...looks like a 10:1 ratio of guards to prisoners here* Well...could be worse, I guess...though...
Arch mage144: Ah, just as I remember. It's like eating a block of wood, but it's softer, it tastes worse, and you can actually digest it.
Lithaladhwen: You can? Impressive.
T3chn0Namagomi: *seems to be staring at his hand, still*
Marshmallow DM: *dips some of her bar into her water before eating anymore*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Doesn't eat!*
T3chn0Namagomi: *the bar seems to get...well...wet and nasty looking when dipped*
Arch mage144: I have heard stories of Valthi soldiers surviving for months on nothing but K-rations.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Instead, she looks around for anything of interest.*
Lithaladhwen: *watches Deeum*
Marshmallow DM: Ugh.. are they afraid of flavor, too?
Arch mage144: I'd be tempted to kill myself.
Lithaladhwen: *to Zeke* Why? I think I'd probably rather die.
T3chn0Namagomi: *munches on the K-ration bar*
Arch mage144: You and I think alike.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Okay. Dipping them in water will not help. Noted.
Lithaladhwen: *shudders* Probably we do.
Arch mage144: Pity, in some ways
Marshmallow DM: *was trying to make it less stale*
T3chn0Namagomi: *There seems to be a couple of prisoners a couple of tables away ready to kick each others' asses*
Arch mage144: *chew* *shouting* -My compliments to the chef! Can I get some caviar to garnish it!?-
Lithaladhwen: IM: That may not be the best idea, Zeke.....
T3chn0Namagomi: *Zeke's joke falls on deaf ears...*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Watches those guys* IM: Wait for it.
Arch mage144: *swallows the rest of his bar* Alright, so. We're looking pretty screwed. This is not the place to start a fight...
Lithaladhwen: *watches mean prisoners* No, but they might.
Arch mage144: *looks* What?
Marshmallow DM: *just drinks her water after eatng half a bar!*
Lithaladhwen: *points to the prisoners getting all up in each other's business*
Marshmallow DM: Hey.. dinner theater.
T3chn0Namagomi: *And the two huge prisoners, one of them bald, starts to throw the first punch*
Lithaladhwen: *to Deeum* Damn right.
T3chn0Namagomi: *Yeah...it's a fight going on alright.*
T3chn0Namagomi: *And it seems as if more people are starting to get into the brawl*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Makes to watch the guards now*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Though...it might be interesting to note that most of the people here have some degree of a magic-capable aura...*
Lithaladhwen: Well isn't that sweet. They have friends. They're going to kill each other over... something apparently very important.
Marshmallow DM: Please tell me we didn't stop thinking of a way to get out.
Lithaladhwen: Nezetta seems to be keeping an eye out on the guards. I for one want to see how they keep order around here.
Arch mage144: We wait for the guards to intervene and sneak out during the confusion, if they do.
Arch mage144: If not, we enjoy the show. This is entertaining.
Marshmallow DM: Lets hope they keep it to just punching.
T3chn0Namagomi: *A good number of the guards, noticing this brawl, run over, batons at the ready, to start laying the smackdown on the rioters*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *How many aren't distracted now?*
T3chn0Namagomi: *About three*
T3chn0Namagomi: <_< What do you mean?
Arch mage144: IM: The guards are likely to decide we're way more dangerous if we start pitching spells.
Marshmallow DM: *w to Kamos* You don't feel like?
Arch mage144: IM: There's no way we can quietly get the jump on them...
T3chn0Namagomi: Feel like...?
T3chn0Namagomi: *The prisoners, almost uniting against a common enemy, start to try to beat the shit out of the intervening guards...and it becomes a full out riot*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Do they have trays?*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Nope*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Though there are those glasses*
Marshmallow DM: *holds her glass* Hmm
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...>_>
TheWaiChibiAngel: *w* Myrnal. Break a glass.
Marshmallow DM: Anyone have a better idea?
Lithaladhwen: I don't think the pieces would be big enough to make me happy. But okay.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *w* Zeke. Distract one of those three. *Indicates*
Arch mage144: *w* Right, I can handle that.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *w* Will it be enough to jam the sharp part into the fleshy bit?
Lithaladhwen: *holds hers and waits for the riot to be nice and loud*
Lithaladhwen: I hope so. ^_^
Lithaladhwen: *cracks it on the table*
Female Pretense has left the room.
Arch mage144: *grins* *w* Give me the word when you're ready.
T3chn0Namagomi: *It's already loud. And one of the guards in the riot actually falls*
Marshmallow DM: *cracks her glass aswell!*
Arch mage144: *cracks his, just in case he's going to need it*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Nonetheless...there's already got to be a large number of people in that fight. Prisoners included*
Arch mage144: *thinks better of it and hands it to Myrnal* It's not double knife wielding, but it'll have to do.
Female Pretense has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: *takes the broken glass stuff from Zeke*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Nonetheless, another of the guards by the door seems to be assessing the situation*
Lithaladhwen: *What kind of glass shards has she got? Is it the bottom of the glass or shards from the sides?*
Arch mage144: Nez, you ready? I've got a distraction in mind.
T3chn0Namagomi: *Likely from the sides.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Nods* Myrnal, you get that one. *Points* I'll get that one.
Arch mage144: *w* You guys, attack from the left. Trust me on this. Ready?
Marshmallow DM: What about us?
T3chn0Namagomi: *And the guard reaches for a green canister on his belt...ready to throw it into the fray*
Lithaladhwen: IM: I'm going to cut myself all to hell on these. Might be worth it, though. Might.
Arch mage144: !
Lithaladhwen: *notes the canister* So, what the fuck do we do when we're out of the mess hall?
Arch mage144: *w* Move it people, he's about to pitch a grenade! We'll figure that out in a minute! *mutters the incantation for a spell*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Find our stuff.
Lithaladhwen: *to Nezetta* ^_^
Lithaladhwen: IM: YES. Find my things.
Arch mage144: *if all goes well, Zeke creates an illusion of a prisoner, dressed as they are, charging out of the crowd toward one of the guards from the right, screaming bloody murder with a broken glass in his hand*
Lithaladhwen: 'Kay.
Arch mage144: (Distraction.)
T3chn0Namagomi: *The two guards not using a grenade seem to notice this, charging at the illusionary man, ready to administer serious beatdown*
Arch mage144: Now!
T3chn0Namagomi: *The grenadier throws his flashbang into the fray, where it blows up. Like a flash bomb. Just about everyone rioting didn't notice...and seem to be flashed.*
T3chn0Namagomi: *The two guards rush forth at the man, and swing...their batons flying through thin air as they recoil from a...miss. The illusionary man, well...yeah.*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Kamos himself gets up, and quickly tries to chant quietly...as negative energy coalesces around both groups of guards...*
Arch mage144: IM: Oh, yeah, Kamos isn't dead weight.
T3chn0Namagomi: *The baton-swinging guards seem to be unphased...but the grenadier wobbles slightly before falling to the floor*
Marshmallow DM: *is getting ready to find an opening to run for the door!*
Arch mage144: IM: That's good to remember.
T3chn0Namagomi: *He then gets ready to make a run for it, while the riot guards are still blinded*
Arch mage144: *prepared to take off after Kamos if there's an opening*
Marshmallow DM: *who's near the door?*
T3chn0Namagomi: *The fainted guard*
Marshmallow DM: *makes a bolt towards the door!*
T3chn0Namagomi: *And...she doesn't get there! Yet.*
Marshmallow DM: *What's stopping her?*
T3chn0Namagomi: *It's just so far away...*
Marshmallow DM: *goes that extra mile!*
T3chn0Namagomi: *and she does make it! Damn, that extra mile takes it out of you.*
Marshmallow DM: *waits for the others :-(*
Arch mage144: *is so going*
Arch mage144: *oh, right, not his turn*
Lithaladhwen: *follows Deeum, keeping a good grip on her improvised sharp thingies*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Just keep thinking about your stuff. Silly clusterfuck prison break Valthi bullshit using glasses for knives when they STOLE MY KNIVES. Jackasses.
T3chn0Namagomi: *She can open the door if she likes*
Lithaladhwen: *Does so to check out in the hall briefly*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Not going out by myself. Not armed with glass I'm not.
Marshmallow DM: The others need to hurrt up!
Lithaladhwen: No shit.
Marshmallow DM: Hurry*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Hey, why waste a perfectly good opportunity? she's walking right out. :-(*
Arch mage144: *hauls ass to join the others*
T3chn0Namagomi: *and Kamos runs through the door as well!*
Marshmallow DM: *So... do we, you knowm ADVANCE?*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Yep! Needless to say, that was rather flawlessly executed! And they are at a four-way intersection, too!*
T3chn0Namagomi: *With a door straight in front, even*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *m* Bees.
Marshmallow DM: I am getting really tired of this.
Arch mage144: *at least we weren't flawlessly executed*
Arch mage144: *w* We have got to get out of here.
Marshmallow DM: *w* and get our gear first?*
Marshmallow DM: -*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Decisions, decisions...oh, wait. Door in front has something in Valthi above it.*
Arch mage144: *read*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Kamos and Zeke notice it easily enough as "Stairs"*
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Convenient.
T3chn0Namagomi: (*w*)
TheWaiChibiAngel: ....?
Arch mage144: *opens*
Arch mage144: *w* Stairs.
T3chn0Namagomi: *And...well, it doesn't seem to be stairs, but it opens into an octagonal room. With doors on the left and right, and a hexagonal column in the middle with stairs in it*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Er, a door in it*
T3chn0Namagomi: *But...eh. Damn. GM slip*
Arch mage144: *moves to the column with the stairs*
Lithaladhwen: *Shocking turn of events.... Myrnal follows Zeke*
T3chn0Namagomi: *yeah. Anyway, opening the door in the column...the metallic stairs seem to go two ways--up and down*
Arch mage144: *w* Hmm. Up?
Marshmallow DM: *Any sign that lets them know what level?*
T3chn0Namagomi: *No sign indicating level...though it seems that there's actually a visible ceiling and floor from here*
Arch mage144: *shrug* *goes up*
T3chn0Namagomi: *w* Hmm...I'm not quite sure where we are, so I can't tell whether it'd be better to go up or down...
Arch mage144: *w* If we can find a window, we can figure out where we are.
Marshmallow DM: Well, we better hurry before they decide to send more people towards that riot.
Arch mage144: It ought to distract them for the moment.
Lithaladhwen: Either of you actual Valthi have any idea what happens to your stuff when you're imprisoned here?
T3chn0Namagomi: <_< I'm surprised we've actually been imprisoned
Arch mage144: As am I.
T3chn0Namagomi: Typically, they don't take prisoners
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, well. We can deal with that later.
Arch mage144: Which means they usually have no reason to put their stuff someplace.
Lithaladhwen: For now, I know that I'd like my shit back.
T3chn0Namagomi: So...up, or down?
Marshmallow DM: Up?
Lithaladhwen: Sure.
Arch mage144: *up*
Marshmallow DM: *just goes*
T3chn0Namagomi: *follows*
T3chn0Namagomi: *The stairs lead up to a "ring" of grating around the inside of the place...*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Pretty well thought out setup for a country that doesn't take prisoners...
Lithaladhwen: Huh. A good point.
Marshmallow DM: *looks around :-(*
T3chn0Namagomi: *There are two doors...each across from each other*
Marshmallow DM: *Signs?!?*
T3chn0Namagomi: *None*
Marshmallow DM: *Aw*
Marshmallow DM: Pick a door any door? >_>
Arch mage144: Hmm. One's as good as the other. Right?
T3chn0Namagomi: Possibly...though since this is a prison facility...
T3chn0Namagomi: It's likely that there could be guards on one side or the other...
Arch mage144: There're probably guards everywhere. So we listen for them first. No problem.
T3chn0Namagomi: Indeed...
Arch mage144: *listens at the right door*
Marshmallow DM: *to the left!*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Oh my fucking hell. Is this one of those "one door leads to freedom and one leads to a horrible death" things?
T3chn0Namagomi: *Neither of them hear anything through the doors*
Arch mage144: Nothing on this side.
Marshmallow DM: Nothing here either.
Arch mage144: *opens the door*
Marshmallow DM: *hurries back to the other side with Zeke*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Waits*
Arch mage144: *what's in there?*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Kamos looks out as well. The best initial description for this location is a "canyon"--The walls on each side are slanted, and there doesn't SEEM to be a ceiling.*
Marshmallow DM: .....
Marshmallow DM: Who in the hell designed this place?
Arch mage144: Valthi, obviously.
Arch mage144: *looks up at the...sky?*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...
T3chn0Namagomi: *Looking up, it seems to be an upward corridor, practically, with what seem to be metallic bridges running across...almost looking like what might, if seen from VERY far away (which is impossible), look like a cross-hatch*
Marshmallow DM: It makes no sense!
T3chn0Namagomi: *Nezetta notices the faint appearance of more of these metal bridges above those*
Arch mage144: ...this is weird.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...It's two towers?
T3chn0Namagomi: *Zeke barely notices some hexagonal "columns" jutting down from the very left and right ends of the metallic walkways*
Arch mage144: Hmm.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Damn. Well, it would be pretty easy for me to go up...if I had that damn armlet...>.<
T3chn0Namagomi: Of course...that'd be suicide...
T3chn0Namagomi: *Zeke and Myrnal see some guards walking around up on the walkways...they don't seem to be looking down, at least.*
Lithaladhwen: *irritated sigh*
Arch mage144: Well, we're not underground, at least.
Arch mage144: Unless this huge complex is.
Arch mage144: *any doors nearby that we can walk to*
T3chn0Namagomi: *There seem to be "hatches" on the left and right periodically on the walls*
Arch mage144: *is there anywhere we can walk in this area, or are we basically standing on a balcony?*
T3chn0Namagomi: *The floor goes forward--up to a left-right junction*
T3chn0Namagomi: *It might be notable that these "walls" don't seem to go more than seven feet high...*
Arch mage144: Hmm. I wonder if it'd be possible to look down. Myrnal, get on my shoulders.
Lithaladhwen: ...
Arch mage144: *kneels*
Lithaladhwen: *blink*
T3chn0Namagomi: *They're not on a walkway*
Arch mage144: *scratch then*
