You have just entered room "rphere."
J4deninj44: Look at the chat room name, it
cuts straight to the point.
T3chn0Namagomi: So, hm...might as well
call a vote; "non-canon"1g or MAC?
T3chn0Namagomi: Or normal 1g--I'm
getting the feeling that some might
want that as an option.
J4deninj44: *sucks the nub of her now spent
pacifier*
J4deninj44: Either way, let's not hold back. I
really want to go all out.
GC130A: I'm good with reverse continuity.
blender_bunny@mac.com: I ain't never
made a MAC'y
Lithaladhwen: My only MAC character
right now is kind of quiet and
retiring. I don't know if she'd CI well
blender_bunny@mac.com: I'm feeling in the
mood for something short and angry.
T3chn0Namagomi: Helena...wouldn't CI
well. She'd just lurk. Maybe watch.
Or something. ...yeah.
Lithaladhwen: Not talking about Helena.
*smirk*
T3chn0Namagomi: Heh
Lithaladhwen: I'm talking about Nick.
blender_bunny@mac.com: I need a new
dorm room chair :-(
T3chn0Namagomi: I am unfamiliar with
this Nick.
Lithaladhwen: I played a version of her in
MetroCity, actually. The Supers
setting.
blender_bunny@mac.com: You are!
Lithaladhwen: Oniichan knows Nick.
Lithaladhwen: But she's too quiet.
Lithaladhwen: And Todd would fuck up
people's understanding of the setting,
so I won't play him either.
Lithaladhwen: Helena's busy being a
walking deus ex machina.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...yeah, Todd would
need to be saved for plot.
Lithaladhwen: If I do it. Before I can even
think about it, I need to do a better
job of explaining auracore symbiotes.
Lithaladhwen: Otherwise everything will
be confusing and suck.
Lithaladhwen: So I won't bother yet.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...plot...plot...OSHIT I
THINK WE MAY HAVE ENOUGH AT
LEAST OBSERVING OR SOMETHING.
blender_bunny@mac.com: DWERF
blender_bunny@mac.com: I WILL PLAY A
DWERF
Kelne2261: It's Dwerf or nothing?
Lithaladhwen: OR NOTHING
T3chn0Namagomi: Anyway...hm. I do
have plot ideas for MAC--at least
something resembling a sort of plot.
Or something.
T3chn0Namagomi: People up for that?
T3chn0Namagomi: This would be intro RP
for plot, anyway...meh. I should shut
up. Or something.
GC130A: Why not... both?!
blender_bunny@mac.com: Wooh
GC130A: Oh wait, crossovers are
overused. Poo.
J4deninj44: ...
Lithaladhwen: I think I can't start RPing
at midnight.
blender_bunny@mac.com: What is
happening?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...hold on a second
while I use bathroom and get cookies.
Then final decision will occur.
GC130A: Mandsy!
J4deninj44: ?
GC130A: What would be badass?
J4deninj44: *thinks*
J4deninj44: A situation where people can
really express their emotions and who
they are. That'd be nice, I think.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hmm...
blender_bunny@mac.com: ....Group therapy
for battered soldiers :D?
blender_bunny@mac.com:
/adventurers/investigators/protagonists/
PCs
J4deninj44: *shrugs a little* I've been
reading too much, I guess. It's hard to
say what I want in light of what I've been
reading.
GC130A: Berserkers Anonymous?
T3chn0Namagomi: It's okay. I...could try
the intro-plot deal, though I'm honestly
unsure as to how well it really would
work out...might be a lack of
confidence on my part
GC130A: Or would it be Axebiters...?
J4deninj44: *shakes head and smiles* I
think I just chose a bad time to spring up
RP.
GC130A: Meh!
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Let's try it, anyway.
J4deninj44: Maybe sometime during the
day would have been-
GC130A: Agreed. Whichever and whatever
you two do, I'm cool with. Who else?
Lithaladhwen: I'm a lurker, I think.
blender_bunny@mac.com: I'll try whatever
until I pass out
Lithaladhwen: I have a geography exam
on Tuesday.
blender_bunny@mac.com: Which may be
soon honestly
T3chn0Namagomi: Understandable, Kai.
T3chn0Namagomi: Right...let's try it
anyway...
T3chn0Namagomi: <MAC Time Go!>
T3chn0Namagomi: *Here in MAC Institute
A, on a normal day, students go to
classes, eat, play video games, go to
simulations, and do various perverted
things at times. However, today is not
one of those days...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Indeed, it is the
post-finals period for the term...as
well as a momentous occasion--one for
which all non-relevant personnel have
been called into designated
auditoriums to observe from a
distance...*
CGNakibe has entered the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: *These
auditoriums--like the one here, are
particularly large, with a massive
viewing screen in the back so even
those sitting way in the top and
back--usually prohibited for classes in
these rooms--may see what would be
on display*
T3chn0Namagomi: (Right! Character
introductions now, if you don't mind.)
J4deninj44: (Is there someone I need to
choose or is it open?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (It's open)
J4deninj44: <Hayako Usagitsuki>
T3chn0Namagomi: *rumors are spreading
about the room as to what the deal is;
some think it's just some timewaster,
but the majority seems to be speaking
largely of something to do with a new
battleship created for the CFIN...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *A certain halfdemon
sits in the room, almost reclining in his
chair...yawning* Maan, these
gatherings tend to be so boring...
J4deninj44: *Texting* Oh, I dunno... I get
much done, you know.
T3chn0Namagomi: Oh? Like what, should
I ask?
J4deninj44: Gossip, answers to quizzes,
stuff like that.
T3chn0Namagomi: But the term's
practically over. *snrks* Don't think
you'll need quiz answers...
J4deninj44: Pah. There's still gossip to
cover.
blender_bunny@mac.com: ((okay I gotta
pass out, I apologize))
blender_bunny@mac.com: ((Goodnight))
Lithaladhwen: (Seeya.)
T3chn0Namagomi: By the way, what sort
of classes are you signing up for next
time?
blender_bunny@mac.com has left the room.
J4deninj44: I haven't picked yet. I usually cut
up the course book and through the
classes up in the air and pick from what
falls right side up....
J4deninj44: throw*
T3chn0Namagomi: *In the meantime, the
murmur starts to die down some, as
some varied instructors start to quiet
down the random gossip as the room
starts to darken*
T3chn0Namagomi: Seems like a totally
random way of picking them.
J4deninj44: Totally?
T3chn0Namagomi: If it's all about what
lands right-side up...
J4deninj44: Oh... well, I guess....
GC130A: *A random Drow leans over from
the row behind them.* It's a totally
practical method. Don't you know the
heaviest workloads always land face
down?
J4deninj44: Ooooo, I never thought of that.
*grins*
T3chn0Namagomi: That's not true, you
know. *snrk*
T3chn0Namagomi: *And so...yeah. It
appears to be as dark as a typical
movie theatre at this point...*
GC130A: 'course it is. Test it sometime,
you'll find that 'Advanced Sonic
Weapons as Applied to Recreational
Goat Herding' will never, ever pull a
faceplant.
J4deninj44: Goat...herding?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...what's a goat?
J4deninj44: You're kidding?
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks like there's a
rather half-asleep student on the side*
J4deninj44: You don't know what a goat is?
T3chn0Namagomi: *he looks...out of it.*
GC130A: What's your name, bud? *to the
sleepy student*
T3chn0Namagomi: Huuuuuuh?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...why would you need
to herd goats?
T3chn0Namagomi: I mean...don't they just
raise them in those facilities now?
GC130A: I did say 'recreational,' didn't I?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...I think I'll pass on
that class.
GC130A: They've got a sport of it now,
actually. You use whatever you like;
missiles, railguns, mental projectors, to
try and get the goats to go into patterns.
GC130A: Lose points if you kill any, of
course.
GC130A: Illusionists usually end up winning.
*nods*
T3chn0Namagomi: *And a random
instructor is shouting at some nearby
students...* Silence, maggots!
Otherwise, I'll make sure you end up in
Marine Basic after this! *...sounds like
one of the more military-hardliner
types...*
J4deninj44: ...Eek
GC130A: *mutters* I'll make sure you find
photos of your son wearing women's
underwear after this...
GC130A: Or was it the other way around...?
T3chn0Namagomi: *and so...the
viewscreen turns on. It appears as if
they're showing the christening
ceremony of the aforementioned new
battleship...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *A large number of
officers are standing in the hangar in
question, garbed in their typical MAC
Igala uniforms. Behind them is what
looks like the new ship in
question...massive, black,
sleek...clearly a new-gen ship...*
J4deninj44: I wonder how much that costs....
T3chn0Namagomi: It looks expensive
alright...I've heard it couldn't be
detected by radar...
GC130A: *lets out a low whistle* I want one!
J4deninj44: I wonder if it has AI...
T3chn0Namagomi: *they could also hear
one of the admirals giving a speech
over the viewcast, it seems...* ...and
so, in these turbulent times, the Corps
needs a symbol of its strength! A sign
of its power!
GC130A: So what are they calling this fine,
fine lady again?
T3chn0Namagomi: Proof that the CFIN
will never go down, without a fight!
The drow may strike without a
moment's notice, as may new splinter
factions, such as that led by Ka'thalan
sympathizers only three months ago!
T3chn0Namagomi: That is why we need
Priscus to lead us into the future! To
make itself a beacon unto all of the
Corps, and the people whom they lay
their lives down for every day!
T3chn0Namagomi: *the speech drones on
for a bit...* 9_9 Okay, yeah...a
battleship.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...I'll admit, it looks
impressive...but I'm still bored...
GC130A: So, which hangar is this thing
in...? *pondering*
J4deninj44: Can we go se it?
T3chn0Namagomi: *As it seems...the
doors are pretty much closed...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks like nobody's
really allowed out for anything--not
even bathroom breaks, as one poor
student in the corner is frustrated
about, trying to bargain with an
instructor to just let him go for three
minutes...*
GC130A: *grin* I like a challenge. What say
you we three go get a closer look?
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks like the speech
is drawing to a close* And now...a few
words from Admiral Kreizer...
T3chn0Namagomi: *Appearing to walk up
to the forefront is who looks like a
rather old man; in his 60s, complete
with long silver beard and hair. He
wears the uniform and insignia of a
highly-decorated admiral...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Despite this, he still
exudes an aura of strength and
charisma, as befitting of one of his
accomplishments during previous
conflicts...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *He takes the
microphone, and taps on it
twice...looking ready to say
something...*
GC130A: *elbows Hayako* So, what do
you say?
J4deninj44: (Shit. My mom called. I gotta
go.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (DAMNIT)
GC130A: (Aw.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Want us to log for
you?)
Lithaladhwen: (Moms come first.)
J4deninj44: (Yesw! Damn damn !)
T3chn0Namagomi: *and so it turns out that
Hayako fell asleep...and she seems to
be a deep sleeper when push comes to
shove...*
T3chn0Namagomi: (Might as well try to do
a proper writeout, no?)
GC130A: (Mm.)
T3chn0Namagomi: *Amongst the soldiers'
numbers, notably, is Nantei
Seur--notably for having had multiple
demotions after repeated incidences
of heavy collateral damage attributed
to him on any deployment he was sent
on...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *His long jet-black hair
and piercing glare are immediately
recognizable, even through the
screen...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *...and he, along with
a number of the officers and
soldiers...grasps the right side of their
collars...*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: ...okay...this is
strange...
T3chn0Namagomi: *...a number of the
others in the hangar in question look
onward, almost puzzled...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *...right before all of
those who did so...tossed off the
ever-so-familiar green
uniforms...revealing
gray-with-white-trim uniforms
underneath...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *...most clearly NOT
MAC uniforms...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Only a second
later...bright light could be seen from
both sides of the camera, despite the
sudden incidence of shaking...before
the screen turned to static...and
alarms sounded.*
GC130A: Now this is more like it! *surveys
the inevitable chaos*
T3chn0Namagomi: *And suddenly, while
the sirens sound and the red lights
illuminate the room in that infamous
glow, the structure itself is shaken by
what feels like a hell of a lot more
blasts...*
T3chn0Namagomi: Ah, HELL. Go figure
something like this had to happen
today...
GC130A: ...less like it. *swings over the
seat in front of him* C'mon, whatever
your name is. Let's grab V'dri Ssin here
and go.
T3chn0Namagomi: Uh, who?
GC130A: Sleeping Beauty. *starts lifting
Hayako out of her seat*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Suddenly, the static
on the screen clears...showing what
seems to be some sort of map of the
building...with what appears to be red
circles marking what are the supposed
blasts...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *...looks like they've
hit the facility and inter-hangar
entrances to Hangars A4, A17, C12, E7,
E22, E4, F3, and several minor
areas--but notably mainly just hitting
the hangar areas...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *one of the officers in
the auditorium is screaming over his
communicator...*WHAT?! What do you
mean those hangars are completely
blocked off?! Get them cleared out
ASAP!!!
T3chn0Namagomi: *As predictable, the
majority of the people in the room are
essentially going crazy trying to get
out...*
GC130A: *Apparently has a very, very
heavy sleeper draped over one shoulder.
Oh, and dreadlocks. I don't think I ever
mentioned that.* So, we leaving or what,
friend?
Kelne2261 has left the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: Yeah, might as well
get out of here. I'm not interested in
getting run over by crazed students. *is
already up; looking toward the nearest
exit...*
T3chn0Namagomi: So, dorm or garage?
GC130A: (I am... less familiar with the
layout of this place than I should be.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (It's sketchy at best)
GC130A: Dunno. Have they figured out if
we're being invaded?
T3chn0Namagomi: Well, you have a ride
of your own?
GC130A: *The last question was directed
at anyone at random, though if there are
anal-retentive teachers around, they
make good targets.*
GC130A: Enough questions! Let's make
sure the big babes are al-*stops himself*
Garage.
T3chn0Namagomi: Right then. Let's go.
*and so...the three manage to make it
out past the rather...distracted
instructors; trying to quell mass chaos
tends to be like that, after all.*
GC130A: *Makes note of one of the
passerby and socks him, but yes.
Leaving.*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Notably...there isn't
anyone else aside from the other odd
escapee or two in the hallways as they
head to the garage...*
GC130A: Quietest I've ever seen this place.
GC130A: And that includes the one time we
accidentally set off a whole case of
flashbangs.
T3chn0Namagomi: Well, I think that rules
invasion out...<_<;
GC130A: So far.
GC130A: You must cripple the Tarrasque
before you strike at its head, after all.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Let's go,
anyway...mind if I take her?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...okay, I don't even
know what the hell a tarresquei is or
whatever...
GC130A: Be glad, my happily ignorant
comrade. *hands her over*
T3chn0Namagomi: *shoulders the sleeping
nekojin...* IM: Sheesh, she's heavy...
T3chn0Namagomi: Anyway...let's get out
for now.
T3chn0Namagomi: *And so, they
eventually reach yon garage! ...which
is empty of people, aside from some
leaving in their vehicles...*
GC130A: (This is a mech garage or a
regular one?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Regular)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Hangars are what we
have our mecha in.)
GC130A: (Now I know!)
T3chn0Namagomi: Right...*gets on his
motorcycle, makes sure Hayako won't
fall off, and starts it up...*
GC130A: *mounts his own* Right!
GC130A: Vlos whol l' vlos yah! *starts up
and moves out! Assuming the door is
openable*
T3chn0Namagomi: *It's a garage.*
GC130A: *Oh, right, parking garage.*
GC130A: *Heads out, then!*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Also heads out...*
GC130A: *shouts over engines* So! Know
any good places?
T3chn0Namagomi: *As the two(three)
head out...they could see something
over in one direction...*
GC130A: *totally checks that sumbitch out*
T3chn0Namagomi: *...indeed, it was the
battleship in question, flying
off...along with a large number of
smaller aerial ships...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *It seems to be gaining
altitude, as multiple thrusters fire, and
flying away from the base...though
why this is happening, and what is
becoming of the Institute, remains
unknown...*
GC130A: Whell, the nerve of those derfi
s'xorn. Turning traitor and flying off with a
shiny new ship.
T3chn0Namagomi: That might not be
them in the ship
T3chn0Namagomi: It could be more
escapees...though we really don't
know in the end, when I think about
it.
GC130A: Of course, of course.
GC130A: (What's the area like around the
institute?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (...you know, I don't
think we thought of that.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Anyway, sounds like a
decent closing point in my opinion...)
GC130A: (Reasonable!)
T3chn0Namagomi: *logs, eats
parentheses*
GC130A: Righto!
GC130A: I assume the plot involves
boarding and retaking or whatnot. :O
GC130A: Or I guess we'll see. Either way!
T3chn0Namagomi has left the room.
GC130A has left the room.
CGNakibe has left the room.
