  1. (8:05:58 PM) Fifthman: Cecil arrives at the sub dock, investigations kit in hand.
  2. (8:06:11 PM) FlyingIrishman: Erik heads in and sighs.
  3. (8:06:18 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan heads into the dock, rifle cleaned and ready.
  4. (8:06:29 PM) Feierbird: Corbette's there, walking back and forth nervously.
  5. (8:07:22 PM) Pyrok: Tobias runs in and moves to where the others are standing.
  6. (8:07:28 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance walked into the room silently, standing on the outskirts of the group and eyeing Cecil very carefully.
  7. (8:09:34 PM) Fifthman: Cecil spots Terrance and bounces over to him. "Hey, you're the guy that took my die, right? Nice to meet you! I'm Cecil. You can keep the die, I've got lots of them!"
  8. (8:10:24 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance twitches slighly towards his pistol reflexively. "Thanks."
  9. (8:11:44 PM) Fifthman: "I never quite got your name. I don't blame you, getting sucked into a game world isn't the best place to make introductions. Awwwkwaaard, right?" Cecil's singsonging again.
  10. (8:12:17 PM) Feierbird: Corbette turns to the group. "Well, uh, could you go now? The readings aren't looking good." He then lapses into technobabble.
  11. (8:12:47 PM) Hol [Mibbit@synIRC-AA875B13.cust-83.exponential-e.net] entered the room.
  12. (8:13:07 PM) Uncandescent: "Terrance." He says as he makes his way into the sub.
  13. (8:13:20 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan more or less understands what Corbette is saying.
  14. (8:13:25 PM) Fifthman: Cecil turns to Corbette, then tilts his head to the side as he listens to the technobabble. It's flying right over his head, but it's so fun to listen to!
  15. (8:13:38 PM) Pyrok: Tobias shoulders his bag and enters the sub.
  16. (8:13:44 PM) FlyingIrishman: Erik watches attentively.
  17. (8:14:02 PM) Feierbird: Corbette stops talking and rolls his eyes. "Just, get in the sub and deal with whatever it is."
  18. (8:14:17 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan enters the sub and straps in
  19. (8:14:31 PM) FlyingIrishman: Erik gets in, nodding to Corbette as he passes.
  20. (8:14:46 PM) Fifthman: "So, totally blind? That's a first~" Cecil looks toward the hatch, then runs for it as he realizes he's alone on the dock.
  21. (8:15:00 PM) Feierbird: Once everyone's in the sub, it starts descending.
  22. (8:15:02 PM) Fifthman: As soon as he steps in, he makes a beeline for the sonar station.
  23. (8:15:39 PM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan was always there!
  24. (8:15:48 PM) ShockwaveLover: He must have been working on his sneakiness.
  25. (8:16:05 PM) Denied_Existence: "Good work on your sneaking Duncan."
  26. (8:16:08 PM) ShockwaveLover: Guess being around Stoat so much is paying off.
  27. (8:16:11 PM) FlyingIrishman: Erik happy to see at least one familiar face on he sub.
  28. (8:16:32 PM) Feierbird: As you descend, the water starts to turn purple, and then blue. Clear blue, like you'd expect from water.
  29. (8:16:55 PM) Pyrok: "Looks like we're going up, not down."
  30. (8:17:06 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Wp's relative."
  31. (8:17:09 PM) ShockwaveLover: *Up's
  32. (8:17:22 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance's nostrils twitch a bit at the unpleasant smell of the sub's interior.
  33. (8:18:16 PM) Denied_Existence: "We're always going up somewhere. Unless we're going down."
  34. (8:18:19 PM) Feierbird: In time, the sub comes up in an in-ground swimming pool just a tad larger than it. To one side, the back of a typical two-story suburban house. To either side of that, fences, and more houses and lawns visible. To the fourth side, nothing.
  35. (8:18:21 PM) Feierbird: Several feet behind the pool, a ragged cutoff leads up to an abyss. Nothing up close, but in the distance, as well as the sky, is simply static, like on a TV screen. The static has a yellowish tinge. A low humming noise, like angry insects, fills the air. Otherwise, no people or noises.
  36. (8:18:52 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Guess someone forgot to tell the sky we switched to Digital."
  37. (8:19:00 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan raises an eyebrow as he looks out the window. He opens the hatch and climbs out.
  38. (8:19:10 PM) Denied_Existence: He chuckles. "Good one, Duncan."
  39. (8:19:35 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Finally, someone with a sense of humour!"
  40. (8:19:39 PM) Fifthman: Cecil pulls the sonar headset off as he waits for the hatch to clear so he can exit as well.
  41. (8:19:41 PM) TheRaven left the room.
  42. (8:19:47 PM) FlyingIrishman: Erik exits the sub, heading towards towards the house.
  43. (8:20:05 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance climbs out as well, taking in the sights with muted astonishment.
  44. (8:20:12 PM) Pyrok: Tobias waits for the others, then climbs out and surveys the surroundings.
  45. (8:20:18 PM) Feierbird: Erik will find, if he attempts, that the doors are unlocked.
  46. (8:20:27 PM) FlyingIrishman: Erik tries a door.
  47. (8:20:37 PM) FlyingIrishman: He's all buisness today.
  48. (8:20:52 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance walks over to the edge of the abyss and looks down.
  49. (8:20:58 PM) ShockwaveLover: With a sigh, the heavily armoured Aussie steps out, looking curiously at the 'abyss'.
  50. (8:21:22 PM) Fifthman: Cecil climbs out, then pulls his camera out to take a picture of himself, with the house and the static sky in the background.
  51. (8:21:40 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan glances down over the abyss briefly before suddenly getting a tinge of Acrophobia and heading instead for the door.
  52. (8:21:41 PM) FlyingIrishman: Erik enters the damn house.
  53. (8:21:48 PM) Feierbird: The abyss appears to be the same as the sky, as if the sky had simply continued past the non-existent horizon. Yellow-tinged static buzzes silently against the backdrop.
  54. (8:21:55 PM) ShockwaveLover: Hearing the camera click: "Still working on your album, eh Cec?"
  55. (8:21:59 PM) Feierbird: The back door is unlocked. The house seems to have a family room, a front hallway, and a kitchen accessible. Anyone else entering the house?
  56. (8:22:11 PM) Feierbird: If so, those entering the house, roll perception.
  57. (8:22:14 PM) FlyingIrishman: Erik heads towards the family room.
  58. (8:22:20 PM) Pyrok: Tobias looks around then follows Erik inside.
  59. (8:22:20 PM) FlyingIrishman: 6df+45 I seeeee.
  60. (8:22:20 PM) Glacon: FlyingIrishman: I seeeee.: 44 (6df+45=+, 0, -, 0, -, 0)
  61. (8:22:24 PM) FlyingIrishman: 6df+5 I see
  62. (8:22:25 PM) Glacon: FlyingIrishman: I see: 6 (6df+5=0, +, 0, +, -, 0)
  63. (8:22:31 PM) Denied_Existence: 6df+8 Hmmm?
  64. (8:22:31 PM) Glacon: Denied_Existence: Hmmm?: 5 (6df+8=-, -, +, -, 0, -)
  65. (8:22:48 PM) Fifthman: "Of course! Someone needs to keep a record of the palces we've visited." Cecil follows the others in.
  66. (8:22:48 PM) Pyrok: 6df+5 What's that?
  67. (8:22:49 PM) Glacon: Pyrok: What's that?: 4 (6df+5=0, 0, -, -, +, 0)
  68. (8:22:53 PM) Fifthman: 6df+8 Cecil sense!
  69. (8:22:53 PM) Glacon: Fifthman: Cecil sense!: 2 (6df+8=-, -, -, -, -, -)
  70. (8:23:03 PM) Feierbird: Cecil, roll athletics.
  71. (8:23:23 PM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan kicks a convenient stone over the edge.
  72. (8:23:28 PM) FlyingIrishman left the room (quit: Quit: I'm walking away.).
  73. (8:23:34 PM) FlyingIcarus [~mac@synIRC-49CDB12B.midco.net] entered the room.
  74. (8:23:36 PM) Fifthman: 6df+1 Cecil's a derp!
  75. (8:23:36 PM) Glacon: Fifthman: Cecil's a derp!: 2 (6df+1=+, -, 0, -, +, +)
  76. (8:23:40 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance watches the stone fall.
  77. (8:24:00 PM) Feierbird: Cecil trips over a step leading into the house and hits his head on the edge of a couch. No body loss, but that's gonna leave a bruise.
  78. (8:24:44 PM) Pyrok: "Hey, watch your step. You okay?"
  79. (8:24:45 PM) Feierbird: Everyone else notices that the house has nothing smaller than a breadbox in it. It's just some pictures, an entertainment center with a TV, and furniture.
  80. (8:24:50 PM) FlyingIcarus: What does Erik see?
  81. (8:24:58 PM) FlyingIcarus: Oh.
  82. (8:25:05 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik examines the pictures.
  83. (8:25:10 PM) Feierbird: The kitchen, front hallway (with a front door visible at the far end), and the kitchen are all available.
  84. (8:25:13 PM) Fifthman: Cecil unburies his head from the couch, rubbing his head. "Not the best way to start an away mission. Just a bruise, I'm fine."
  85. (8:25:22 PM) Uncandescent: What about the rock and the abyss?
  86. (8:25:25 PM) Feierbird: Erik, the paintings are mostly landscapes.
  87. (8:25:42 PM) Feierbird: The rock falls into the abyss and slowly falls away until it cannot be seen.
  88. (8:25:55 PM) Pyrok: Tobias turns on the TV.
  89. (8:26:08 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik takes a picture and continues on to the TV.
  90. (8:26:08 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Creepy." His interest satisfied, Duncan heads for the house. But not the inside. He's walking around the perimeter.
  91. (8:26:15 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance raises an eyebrow slightly, then turns around and heads toward the back door.
  92. (8:26:36 PM) ShockwaveLover: What's the house made out of?
  93. (8:26:47 PM) Feierbird: Modern housing material, fuck if I know.
  94. (8:26:49 PM) Fifthman: Cecil puts some evidence gloves on before he continues investigating the house.
  95. (8:27:11 PM) Fifthman: "Guys, don't touch anything unless you're wearing gloves. If there's prints we'll contaminate them."
  96. (8:27:13 PM) Feierbird: Tobias, the TV turns on, and suddenly there's no screen. There is, however, a jar of honey in an open space in its interior. The jar of honey is glowing, and the jar is rattling.
  97. (8:27:25 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik takes the honey.
  98. (8:27:32 PM) Pyrok: Tobias backs away slowly. "Guys?"
  99. (8:27:34 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan steps back and aims his rifle at the jar. "..."
  100. (8:27:36 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance looks for a staricase to the second floor.
  101. (8:27:49 PM) Feierbird: The jar does nothing.
  102. (8:27:54 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik stashes it.
  103. (8:27:57 PM) Feierbird: Except rattle and glow, of course.
  104. (8:28:14 PM) Fifthman: Cecil sighs and enters the kitchen. He examines the fridge handle for fingerprints.
  105. (8:28:24 PM) Feierbird: Fingerprints on the fridge handle.
  106. (8:28:27 PM) ShockwaveLover: He continues on his way, examining the exterior. Anything protruding? Hot water system, air conditioning...?
  107. (8:28:32 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik enters the kitchen.
  108. (8:28:48 PM) Fifthman: "Hey, has anyone touched the fridge yet?"
  109. (8:28:55 PM) Feierbird: Give me a moment to sort this out.
  110. (8:29:05 PM) Pyrok: "No, why?"
  111. (8:29:12 PM) padri left the room (quit: Ping timeout).
  112. (8:29:14 PM) Fifthman: "There's prints on the fridge handle."
  113. (8:29:26 PM) Feierbird: Terrance finds a staircase to the second floor. A hallway, but no rooms.
  114. (8:29:28 PM) Denied_Existence: "Erik...perhaps we shouldn't bring that Jar with us...or at least open it first?"
  115. (8:29:36 PM) Wilt_O`Feighe left the room (quit: Ping timeout).
  116. (8:29:40 PM) Fifthman: "None of them are mine, either - I put on gloves as soon as I walked in."
  117. (8:29:42 PM) Uncandescent: Are there any windows?
  118. (8:29:50 PM) FlyingIcarus: "I'm sure it won't kill me."
  119. (8:29:52 PM) Feierbird: Duncan, the house seems to be normal. Air conditioning, windows, hot water system, all present.
  120. (8:30:06 PM) Denied_Existence: "Well go open it if you're so sure.
  121. (8:30:07 PM) Denied_Existence: "
  122. (8:30:11 PM) ShockwaveLover: How close is it to the yawning abyss?
  123. (8:30:32 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik opens the jar because Stefan is whining.
  124. (8:30:35 PM) padri [Mibbit@synIRC-E058E31E.hsd1.ga.comcast.net] entered the room.
  125. (8:30:40 PM) Feierbird: The abyss is in the back yard, and the house is about thirty feet from the edge.
  126. (8:30:51 PM) Feierbird: Erik, the honey sloshes about a little and keeps glowing.
  127. (8:31:01 PM) ShockwaveLover: Does it seem to be getting any closer as he watches?
  128. (8:31:09 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik puts the cap back on and continues on. "See?"
  129. (8:31:10 PM) Mr_Wilt [Mibbit@A0889ECE.1023C973.306722CC.IP] entered the room.
  130. (8:31:10 PM) mode (+o Mr_Wilt) by ChanServ
  131. (8:31:23 PM) Fifthman: Is Erik wearing gloves?
  132. (8:31:23 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan glares at him. "Yeah, I see."
  133. (8:31:29 PM) Feierbird: No, the abyss is essentially stationary.
  134. (8:31:31 PM) Fifthman: Or Stefan?
  135. (8:31:38 PM) Feierbird: At least as far as you can tell.
  136. (8:31:45 PM) Uncandescent: Are there any windows on the second floor?
  137. (8:32:04 PM) Feierbird: Nope. Just a claustrophobic little hallway. Not big enough to take up the whole second floor.
  138. (8:32:04 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik heads upstairs.
  139. (8:32:26 PM) Fifthman: Cecil attempts to enter the garage.
  140. (8:32:48 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan is wearing tactical gloves currently.
  141. (8:32:51 PM) Feierbird: Success! It's dark and musty. No vehicles.
  142. (8:33:00 PM) Feierbird: Has anyone gone into the front yard yet?
  143. (8:33:02 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance walks along the hallway, knocking it every few feet to check for ant hollow spots.
  144. (8:33:07 PM) Uncandescent: *any
  145. (8:33:18 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Interesting..." Heading back round to the front, he takes a moment to look away from the static. Is there anything else visible beyond the house and yard?
  146. (8:33:21 PM) Feierbird: No hollow spots, Terrance.
  147. (8:33:25 PM) Fifthman: Cecil turns on his flashlight to look around the garage.
  148. (8:33:33 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik heads back down, towards the front hallway.
  149. (8:33:33 PM) ShockwaveLover: That's where Duncan is right now.
  150. (8:33:36 PM) Feierbird: The garage has lots of empty shelves.
  151. (8:33:45 PM) Denied_Existence: There are no doors upstairs?
  152. (8:33:49 PM) Feierbird: Duncan, the street in front extends in either direction as far as you can see. No branches or bends.
  153. (8:33:51 PM) Fifthman: Is the garage automatic?
  154. (8:33:52 PM) Feierbird: No doors upstairs.
  155. (8:33:54 PM) StPresidentEvilsDay left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
  156. (8:34:14 PM) Fifthman: The garage door, I mean?
  157. (8:34:16 PM) Feierbird: There's a small glowing button near the doorway. He could press it to find out.
  158. (8:34:22 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan raises an eyebrow, picks a random wall upstairs, and stabs it with his bayonet.
  159. (8:34:36 PM) Fifthman: Cecil radios. <<I'm opening the garage.>>
  160. (8:34:38 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance goes back downstairs, glances int the kitchen at the others as he passes it, then heads out the front door.
  161. (8:34:40 PM) Fifthman: He presses the button.
  162. (8:34:46 PM) ShockwaveLover: <<Nothing outside guys. But the street just continues on. Like, forever.>>
  163. (8:34:50 PM) Feierbird: It opens to the front yard.
  164. (8:35:04 PM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan's peering down the road.
  165. (8:35:05 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik also heads out to the front yard.
  166. (8:35:09 PM) Feierbird: Duncan, it is also of note that there are similar, but not identical, houses lining the street.
  167. (8:35:23 PM) Feierbird: The buzzing sound continues in the background.
  168. (8:35:26 PM) Fifthman: Cecil walks out of the yard, then flips open his phone to take another picture.
  169. (8:35:29 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan pulls his bayonet back from the wall and looks through the hole he's punctured.
  170. (8:35:54 PM) Feierbird: It's dark in the hole, Stefan.
  171. (8:35:58 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Why am I being reminded of Fallout 3..."
  172. (8:36:12 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan turns on his tactical light and shines it while looking.
  173. (8:36:25 PM) Pyrok: Tobias walks out to the yard. "This is more like the scene from Indiana Jones."
  174. (8:36:28 PM) Daedalize left the room (quit: Client exited).
  175. (8:36:37 PM) Daedalize [~androirc@synIRC-15CDF17A.pn.at.cox.net] entered the room.
  176. (8:36:37 PM) mode (+ao Daedalize Daedalize) by ChanServ
  177. (8:36:55 PM) Feierbird: You seem to have punctured a solid object, Stefan. The interior of the hole is made of drywall.
  178. (8:37:08 PM) Denied_Existence: "Hmm..."
  179. (8:37:13 PM) ShockwaveLover: Are there any street signs?
  180. (8:37:28 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance heads to the house across the street and opens the door.
  181. (8:37:32 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan heads downstairs and out to rejoin the others.
  182. (8:37:37 PM) Fifthman: Cecil walks across the street to the door directly across, following Terrance.
  183. (8:37:41 PM) Denied_Existence: He then follows Terrance.
  184. (8:38:03 PM) Feierbird: The exact detail vary, but in essence, it's the same as the house you went into first.
  185. (8:38:26 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik examines the jar of honey.
  186. (8:38:31 PM) Fifthman: Cecil walks back out. "Minor details in each house. They're all the same, essentially."
  187. (8:38:34 PM) Pyrok: Tobias follows them into the house, and heads over to the tv again.
  188. (8:38:55 PM) ShockwaveLover: "But they're designed for human, or humanoid, habitation."
  189. (8:39:01 PM) Denied_Existence: "Did anyone open the fridge in the other house?"
  190. (8:39:02 PM) Pyrok: "Hey, let's check the TV. See if this one is weird too."
  191. (8:39:23 PM) Feierbird: If he turns on the TV, the screen also disappears, leaving a hollow cavity. Nothing in this one, though.
  192. (8:39:32 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance finds the stairs and goes up them, determined to find a way to get a view from higher up.
  193. (8:39:40 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik opens the jar and takes a taste.
  194. (8:39:54 PM) Feierbird: It's incredibly bitter, Erik. Roll pdef.
  195. (8:40:02 PM) FlyingIcarus: 6df+3 oh well fuck this
  196. (8:40:03 PM) Glacon: FlyingIcarus: oh well fuck this: 4 (6df+3=0, 0, +, 0, -, +)
  197. (8:40:35 PM) Feierbird: Erik vomits.
  198. (8:40:45 PM) Denied_Existence: "Eugh..."
  199. (8:40:50 PM) Pyrok: <<We should check the TVs. If the first one had something, maybe the others will as well.>>
  200. (8:40:59 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik closes the jar and stows it. "Gah."
  201. (8:41:10 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan sighs and returns to the first house. He opens the fridge.
  202. (8:41:21 PM) Fifthman: Cecil returns to the original house, following Stefan.
  203. (8:41:30 PM) Feierbird: The fridge is functional, but empty.
  204. (8:41:31 PM) Uncandescent: Is the upstairs the same as the other house as well?
  205. (8:41:34 PM) ShockwaveLover: Are there any letterboxes, or numbers on the houses?
  206. (8:41:51 PM) Fifthman: "That's odd. Fingerprints on the fridge handle, but no food."
  207. (8:41:52 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan returns to the front. Any mailboxes?
  208. (8:41:59 PM) Fifthman: Has the fridge even been used?
  209. (8:42:17 PM) Fifthman: Any stains? Or is it spotless?
  210. (8:42:23 PM) Feierbird: A few stains.
  211. (8:42:29 PM) Feierbird: The houses have numbers and mailboxes.
  212. (8:42:41 PM) Feierbird: And the upstairs is the same as in the other house, although the hallway has slightly different dimensions.
  213. (8:42:46 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan checks the mailbox of the original house.
  214. (8:43:00 PM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan looks at the number.
  215. (8:43:18 PM) Feierbird: 812. And the mailbox is empty.
  216. (8:43:25 PM) Feierbird: The street continues to extend in each direction.
  217. (8:43:27 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik examines the grass. f there is any.
  218. (8:43:28 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance walks down the hallway knocking the walls again, for consistency's sake.
  219. (8:43:37 PM) ShockwaveLover: "812? Jesus christ..."
  220. (8:43:43 PM) Fifthman: Cecil goes up to the second floor of the house. He pulls out a stethoscope and goes down the doorless hallway, knocking for any hollows.
  221. (8:44:14 PM) Feierbird: No hollows.
  222. (8:44:26 PM) ShockwaveLover: "I'd suggest walking to 1, and seeing what's there, but that's a hell of a long way."
  223. (8:44:49 PM) ShockwaveLover: "And knowing our luck, it'd just loop around."
  224. (8:44:57 PM) Fifthman: Cecil walks back out and looks at the front of the house. There's a second story, but are there any windows?
  225. (8:45:00 PM) Denied_Existence: "Depends really."

  227. (8:45:23 PM) Denied_Existence: "Could be the 12th house of the 8th street."
  228. (8:45:33 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance goes back downstairs and outside.
  229. (8:45:41 PM) Denied_Existence: Or the 2nd house of the 81st street."
  230. (8:45:43 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Do you see any other streets?"
  231. (8:45:50 PM) Feierbird: Everyone who's outdoors, roll perception.
  232. (8:45:54 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan looks both ways down the street.

  248. (8:47:29 PM) Feierbird: Everyone except Toby notices that, in one direction, the sky seems to be vaguely orange-ish, if still mostly yellow static. The other side is vaguely green-ish. The dividing line appears to be more or less where the team is.
  249. (8:47:46 PM) Denied_Existence: "Hmm..."
  250. (8:48:00 PM) ShockwaveLover: "East side vs West side?"
  251. (8:48:10 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik starts heading in the direction of the orange.
  252. (8:48:16 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance goes around the back of the second house. Is there another street?
  253. (8:48:18 PM) Pyrok: "What? What is it?"
  254. (8:48:20 PM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan makes an attempt at a gangsta gesture.
  255. (8:48:20 PM) Denied_Existence: "Should we head to where it looks horribly statically or rather peaceful?"
  256. (8:48:34 PM) Feierbird: The back of the other house has the same cutoff and abyss as the first.
  257. (8:48:48 PM) Fifthman: "It's the same static on both ends. Just different colors."
  258. (8:48:54 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance goes back to the general area as the others.
  259. (8:49:08 PM) Fifthman: "And there's a chance that the colors cycle."
  260. (8:49:28 PM) ShockwaveLover: "So what, is it some kind of giant test pattern?"
  261. (8:49:51 PM) Denied_Existence: "Hmm...heads orange, tails green.
  262. (8:49:53 PM) Fifthman: "Maybe. But if we follow the line down, maybe we might hit the center, if there is one."
  263. (8:49:53 PM) Denied_Existence: "
  264. (8:49:55 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik is drifting quite a bit away from the group.

  267. (8:50:06 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan flips a coin. It lands heads up.
  268. (8:50:09 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance watches Erik go with a neutral expression.
  269. (8:50:27 PM) Fifthman: Is the street parallel to the border? Or does it run perpendicular?
  270. (8:50:48 PM) Feierbird: Perpendicular to the border. Erik, as you pass a lamp post, it starts rattling loudly enough that everyone can hear.
  271. (8:50:56 PM) Pyrok: Tobias checks the road to see if it's had a lot of use.
  272. (8:50:57 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan picks it up and starts towards the orange.
  273. (8:51:00 PM) ShockwaveLover: "For the love of...Erik, this isn't a- the hell?"
  274. (8:51:01 PM) Denied_Existence: "Uh...Erik..."
  275. (8:51:25 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance draws his pistol and points it at the post as he swiftly but carefully approaches.
  276. (8:51:33 PM) Fifthman: Cecil follows the others toward the orange.
  277. (8:51:43 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik examines the lamp post with a stoic expression before continuing.
  278. (8:51:55 PM) ShockwaveLover: "What did you do, Erik?"
  279. (8:51:55 PM) FlyingIcarus: He's still ahead of the group.
  280. (8:52:00 PM) Fifthman: "Wait, so we're going toward the red side? You guys sure this is a good idea?"
  281. (8:52:17 PM) Denied_Existence: "Orange actually, and I have no clue."
  282. (8:52:25 PM) Pyrok: Tobias walks over and checks the lamppost for anything out of the ordinary.
  283. (8:52:32 PM) Fifthman: "But orange leads to red, Stefan."
  284. (8:52:44 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Heading towards where it's peaceful isn't likely to get us anywhere."
  285. (8:52:44 PM) Feierbird: Other than rattling, nothing out of the ordinary. BUT THEN.
  286. (8:53:01 PM) Feierbird: Just as suddenly as the rattling started, with a popping sound, the lamp post appears to be made of a swarm of angry bees, which go for the team members. Roll pdef, everyone.
  287. (8:53:11 PM) Denied_Existence: "Hmm...Green /is/ my fa-HOLY FUCK

  305. (8:54:53 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik just keeps on walken.
  306. (8:54:58 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan is glad he has a gas mask on too.
  307. (8:55:11 PM) Pyrok: Tobias pull his own goggles down to cover his eyes.
  308. (8:55:12 PM) Feierbird: Terrance and Stefan are attacked by bees and stung repeatedly, causing -1 body. Other people are attacked as well, but aren't stung to the point where they're hurt significantly.
  309. (8:55:31 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik ignores the bees, continuing to walk.
  310. (8:55:38 PM) Denied_Existence: "OW OW OW FUCK SHIT FUCK FUCK FUCK."
  311. (8:55:58 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan retreats. "OK OK LET'S HEAD TOWARDS THE GREEN."
  312. (8:56:04 PM) Feierbird: A good number of the bees have either disappeared or left, because the number of bees around you is not nearly enough to have made that entire lamp post, which is now gone.
  313. (8:56:10 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance crouches over in pain, covering his face with his hands
  314. (8:56:31 PM) Fifthman: "Ow, ow! Dammit!" Cecil covers his eyes as he sticks close to the rest of the group.
  315. (8:56:35 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Alright, from now on, assume everything is bees."
  316. (8:56:40 PM) Pyrok: "BEES? IT WAS MADE OF *BEES*?!"
  317. (8:56:46 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik is still walken.
  318. (8:56:59 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan sighs and returns to the group. "Perhaps we should stay a ways behind Erik?"
  319. (8:57:15 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance retreats as well, loosely covering his face with his hands.
  320. (8:57:17 PM) ShockwaveLover: "I usually do that in any case."
  321. (8:57:21 PM) Feierbird: Tobias, you might notice that the number of bees around you has decreased significantly.
  322. (8:58:33 PM) Pyrok: Tobias looks up, and recovers from the attack. He follows the others.
  323. (8:58:48 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance grits his teeth and stands straight up, surveying the condition of the team.
  324. (8:59:08 PM) FlyingIcarus: Does Erik notice anything?
  325. (8:59:17 PM) Feierbird: The bees continue to swarm around everyone, but ignore Tobias for the most part, ever since he screamed. Everyone but Tobias, pdef.

  336. (9:00:10 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Are they seriously following Erik?"
  337. (9:00:29 PM) Denied_Existence: "AAAAHHHHH GOD OH GOD THESE FUCKING BEES."
  338. (9:00:34 PM) Pyrok: Tobias takes a few steps back and watches the bees swarm around everyone.
  339. (9:00:36 PM) Feierbird: The bees around Stefan disperse.
  340. (9:00:42 PM) Uncandescent: 6df+4 This is embarrassing.

  342. (9:01:04 PM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan pulls out a flare, and sets it off. Hopefully the smoke will knock them out.
  343. (9:01:07 PM) Feierbird: Nobody is hurt by bees any more than they already were.
  344. (9:01:21 PM) Pyrok: "Wait, everybody yell really loud. It scares them off."
  345. (9:01:25 PM) Feierbird: As the smoke pours out of the flare, the bees disperse.
  346. (9:01:28 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik is still walking. What does he see?
  347. (9:01:33 PM) Feierbird: More of the same, Erik.
  348. (9:01:41 PM) FlyingIcarus: Is it any, orangier?
  349. (9:01:56 PM) Feierbird: The scene remains unchanged, except with one fewer lamp post. It gets a little bit more orange as you go on, Erik.
  350. (9:02:08 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance crushes an errant bee in his hand.
  351. (9:02:27 PM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan looks at the nearest house they're passing. What's the number?
  352. (9:02:41 PM) Feierbird: 800.
  353. (9:03:14 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Looks like we're heading toward the start of the street. Wherever that is."
  354. (9:03:19 PM) FlyingIcarus: How far ahead is Erik?
  355. (9:03:21 PM) ShockwaveLover: Is the flare having any effect?
  356. (9:03:28 PM) Feierbird: About seven doors down.
  357. (9:03:40 PM) Feierbird: 20:01 Feierbird As the smoke pours out of the flare, the bees disperse.
  358. (9:03:48 PM) ShockwaveLover: oups.
  359. (9:04:25 PM) Feierbird: Is the team still heading orangeward?
  360. (9:04:29 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Also, I hope there's nothing here that's smarter than bees, because I just let everyone with eyes know that we're here."
  361. (9:04:34 PM) Fifthman: Still orangeward, apparently.
  362. (9:04:59 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance looks out at Erik with one good eye, the other swollen shut by bee stings. He walks up to Duncan and extends a hand. "Give me a flare."
  363. (9:05:38 PM) Pyrok: "There's lots of things I'd rather fight than bees. Also, you can scare the bees off with noise, I think."
  364. (9:05:45 PM) ShockwaveLover: He is handed the active one, which should last for a little while yet.
  365. (9:06:07 PM) Feierbird: With a bang, a house about three doors in front of the main group and about four behind Erik disappears completely, basement and all.
  366. (9:06:14 PM) ShockwaveLover: "I've only got two, so I'll save it for an emergency."
  367. (9:06:28 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance takes it, but almost drops it at the noise.
  368. (9:06:39 PM) ShockwaveLover: "...And I think we just hit one."
  369. (9:06:47 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan stops. "Well...that was weird."
  370. (9:06:48 PM) Fifthman: Cecil winces away from the blast.
  371. (9:06:50 PM) Uncandescent: Almost drops it.
  372. (9:06:52 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik continues.
  373. (9:07:01 PM) Pyrok: "I've got some more fl- Holyshit, what just happened?"
  374. (9:07:17 PM) Fifthman: Cecil walks forward to Erik. "Hey, look, shouldn't you slow down? Just a bit?"
  375. (9:07:21 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan shakes his head and continues onwards. "Weird shit, let's not tally."
  376. (9:07:26 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance heads over to the former house site. What does he see?
  377. (9:07:35 PM) ShockwaveLover: "No idea. Just as long as it isn't a house sized swarm of bees."
  378. (9:07:49 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik walks slower by a rate of .001 meters per second.
  379. (9:08:03 PM) Feierbird: A buzzing noise, a bit higher pitched and significantly louder than the background noise, starts emitting from the house.
  380. (9:08:14 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik stops at that.
  381. (9:08:23 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Oh come /on/!"
  382. (9:08:25 PM) Uncandescent: You mean the house that's not there?
  383. (9:08:36 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan stops and aims his rifle towards the buzzing.
  384. (9:08:48 PM) Fifthman: "There, that's better. Let's wait for the others to catch..." Cecil turns toward the buzzing.
  385. (9:09:36 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik turns towards the source.
  386. (9:09:40 PM) Feierbird: The edges of the hole in the ground where the house was, suddenly turn an electric blue color. It appears that the dirt and whatnot that was there are now a swarm of blue bees, crawling around on the ground.
  387. (9:10:04 PM) Denied_Existence: "AH HELL NO."
  388. (9:10:12 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance holds the flare towards the ground, in front of him.
  389. (9:10:18 PM) FlyingIcarus: He proceeds to run for his god damn life, farther into the orange.
  390. (9:10:18 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan fires at the bees. "FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU."
  391. (9:10:54 PM) Fifthman: "Erik, Erik, wait! Your jar!" Cecil chases after Erik.
  392. (9:11:00 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan side-steps over to Terrance to get within range of his flare.
  393. (9:11:04 PM) Feierbird: At Stefan's shots, the swarm suddenly rises from the ground and moves into a horizontal toroidal formation. The formation starts moving towards the group. Roll athletics to run away.
  394. (9:11:09 PM) ShockwaveLover: A quick mental inventory yields Duncan nothing that's effective against a swarm of ground-bees.

  415. (9:13:19 PM) Feierbird: The donut of bees catches up to and seems to simply move /through/ Cecil and Erik. Cecil- and Erik-shaped holes appear in the donut shape, leaving not so many bees left.
  416. (9:13:20 PM) Denied_Existence: He then runs farther.
  417. (9:13:41 PM) Feierbird: The bees then all fly into the jar, disappearing as they hit the surface, leaving no trace.
  418. (9:13:52 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik keeps on walking.
  419. (9:13:54 PM) Feierbird: Cecil and Erik feel nothing as the bees enter them, but... roll mdef, Cecil and Erik.

  434. (9:18:04 PM) Feierbird: People can act now.
  435. (9:18:24 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik gets up, dusts himself off, and keeps on walking.

  444. (9:18:57 PM) Feierbird: No bees left.
  445. (9:19:04 PM) Feierbird: It's like they were never there.
  446. (9:19:06 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik nods.
  447. (9:19:25 PM) Fifthman: "Why are you walking? Shouldn't we be staying with the rest of the group?" Cecil's still scratching.
  448. (9:19:31 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan drops his aim and grabs the jar, closing it again.
  449. (9:19:34 PM) ShockwaveLover: There's sound of a safety catch being flicked. "Erik. Halt."

  453. (9:21:06 PM) Fifthman: Cecil's still scratching. "Hey, is there something on my back?"
  454. (9:21:17 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan sighs. "Let's GO. No sense in standing around...no there is nothing on your back."
  455. (9:21:36 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik continues walking, make up your got damb mind.
  456. (9:21:38 PM) FlyingIcarus: Birches.
  457. (9:21:38 PM) Denied_Existence: 6df+8 Perception: Nothing on his back that I can see, right?

  459. (9:21:52 PM) Feierbird: Nothing on his back.
  460. (9:21:56 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance squeezes for a moment and then lets go.
  461. (9:22:01 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan shrugs and continues onwards.
  462. (9:22:06 PM) Fifthman: "You sure? Because it's like I laid on top of a beehive. Sweet fortune it itches."
  463. (9:22:12 PM) Feierbird: The jar of honey's still on the ground.
  464. (9:22:23 PM) Fifthman: Cecil takes the jar of honey.
  465. (9:22:24 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Exactly what the hell is that?"
  466. (9:22:45 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan already has the jar.
  467. (9:22:50 PM) Uncandescent: Stefan had the jar. He picked it up.
  468. (9:22:59 PM) Denied_Existence: 20:19 Denied_Existence Stefan drops his aim and grabs the jar, closing it again.
  469. (9:23:03 PM) Feierbird: OR DID HE. Actually, yes he did.
  470. (9:23:07 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik steals the jar back from Stefan.
  471. (9:23:07 PM) Feierbird: Carry on.
  472. (9:23:16 PM) Fifthman: "Stefan, wait. Think it'll be useful if we separate the honey? I've got bags enough for all of us."
  473. (9:23:26 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan keeps hold of the Jar.
  474. (9:23:41 PM) Denied_Existence: "I dunno Cecil. Let's hold it in one until we figure it out."
  475. (9:23:44 PM) FlyingIcarus: No he dain't'nt
  476. (9:23:50 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance falls back and redraws his gun with his free hand, the other still holding the flare.
  477. (9:24:31 PM) Pyrok: Tobias steps in between Erik and Stefan. "Quit it."
  478. (9:24:39 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik walks.
  479. (9:25:04 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance stays near the back of the group with Duncan.
  480. (9:25:28 PM) Feierbird: A few minutes pass by uneventfully.
  481. (9:25:35 PM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan casts his eyes to the heavens, silently mouthing 'Why me?'

  483. (9:25:41 PM) Glacon: Feierbird: 1 (d5=1)
  484. (9:25:44 PM) Fifthman: Cecil spends the whole time scratching.
  485. (9:26:01 PM) FlyingIcarus: What house number are they at?
  486. (9:26:02 PM) Fifthman: Cecil stops. "Okay, this is getting really, really annoying."
  487. (9:26:09 PM) Feierbird: 798, Erik.
  488. (9:26:16 PM) Feierbird: Cecil, roll athletics

  491. (9:27:33 PM) Feierbird: Cecil just barely avoids falling into a sinkhole that materializes in the ground. It's about ten feet deep, ten feet in diameter, and curves off to one side at the bottom
  492. (9:28:13 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan stops and looks down the hole. "hmm..."
  493. (9:28:17 PM) Feierbird: An angry buzzing noise, this time a bit lower than before, can be heard. It doesn't sound like a swarm, though. Just one big buzzing noise.
  494. (9:28:23 PM) Pyrok: "Look out, it's gonna be bees."
  495. (9:28:25 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik pauses.
  496. (9:28:47 PM) Fifthman: Cecil looks down. "Now that's exciting. I'm on top of everything today. Except this damn itch..." Cecil pulls off his coat and shirt. He's really, really scrawny.
  497. (9:29:03 PM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan stops dead. "I have had it with these motherfucking bees, on this motherfucking street!"
  498. (9:29:27 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan takes the jar and prepares to open it if anything decides to come out.
  499. (9:29:36 PM) Feierbird: A bee crawls from the side where it curves off. Said bee is about six feet in diameter. It lifts off into the air and goes straight up.
  500. (9:29:49 PM) Feierbird: It circles around in the air above the group.
  501. (9:29:56 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik sighs.
  502. (9:29:58 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance fires at it.
  503. (9:30:03 PM) Fifthman: Cecil points his back at someone. "Seriously, it's itching like mad..." Cecil hastens to put his shirt on.

  510. (9:30:49 PM) Fifthman: "There's this massive itch on my back that I can't get rid of."
  511. (9:30:52 PM) Feierbird: The shot misses the bee, which continues to fly lazy loops around the group.
  512. (9:30:54 PM) Feierbird: BUT THEN
  513. (9:31:03 PM) Denied_Existence: He then backs off.
  514. (9:31:13 PM) Uncandescent: I wish.
  515. (9:31:21 PM) Feierbird: It sees Stefan open the jar of honey and flies at him! It seems to ignore the honey. Pdef, Stefan.
  516. (9:31:31 PM) Fifthman: "But that's not a problem right now..." Cecil's looking at the flying huge bee.
  517. (9:31:38 PM) Denied_Existence: 6df+6 Oh hell no...
  518. (9:31:38 PM) Glacon: Denied_Existence: Oh hell no...: 4 (6df+6=-, -, 0, +, -, 0)

  526. (9:32:54 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance fires on the bee again, multiple times.
  527. (9:32:58 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik shoots at the bee.

  533. (9:33:14 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan pulls his pistol from it's holster and fires blindly up at the bee.

  541. (9:33:42 PM) Fifthman: 6df+7: Cecil sneaks for a better firing position.
  542. (9:33:48 PM) Feierbird: The shots do nothing to harm the bee that you can see, but the gunfire distracts it and it gets off of Stefan.
  543. (9:33:49 PM) Fifthman: 6df+7 Cecil sneaks for a better firing position.
  544. (9:33:49 PM) Glacon: Fifthman: Cecil sneaks for a better firing position.: 8 (6df+7=-, +, -, +, 0, +)

  549. (9:34:37 PM) Feierbird: It buzzes angrily around the group at about eye level, but attacks no-one.
  550. (9:35:04 PM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan tries an attempt at inter-species communication. "Buzz. Buzz buzz. Buzzzzzzzzzzz."
  551. (9:35:33 PM) FlyingIcarus: Did Duncan just call the bee a whoremouth?
  552. (9:35:38 PM) Feierbird: The bee starts flying circles around Duncan.
  553. (9:35:43 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan gets up shakily, drawing his rifle and getting a bead on the bee.

  558. (9:36:20 PM) ShockwaveLover: He gestures for the others to hold their fire.
  559. (9:36:30 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik walks over to Duncan.
  560. (9:36:32 PM) ShockwaveLover: Not least of all because they'll probably end up hitting him.
  561. (9:36:43 PM) Fifthman: Cecil snaps a quick picture of the bee.
  562. (9:36:57 PM) Feierbird: The bee attempts to perch on Duncan's head. If you want to prevent this, Duncan, roll ath.
  563. (9:37:05 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance doesn't shoot, but keeps aiming.
  564. (9:37:35 PM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan figures he's gone this far. Why stop now? He lets it perch on his helmet.
  565. (9:37:55 PM) Fifthman: Cecil snaps another picture. That looks awesome!
  566. (9:37:56 PM) Feierbird: The bee attempts to sting Duncan. Roll pdef.

  575. (9:39:24 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance fires, hoping to catch it while it's not moving.
  576. (9:39:28 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Buzz, bu- CUNTWAGGLE"
  577. (9:39:29 PM) Feierbird: The shots hit the bee as it flies away, leaving the stinger in Duncan, along with a good portion of its guts.
  578. (9:39:36 PM) Uncandescent: 6df+6
  579. (9:39:36 PM) Glacon: Uncandescent: 7 (6df+6=0, +, +, +, -, -)
  580. (9:39:49 PM) Feierbird: Unable to fly properly, it is hit with bullets, and hits the ground dead.
  581. (9:40:17 PM) Pyrok: Tobias runs over to Duncan. "Hey, do we have a medic here?"
  582. (9:40:24 PM) ShockwaveLover: A torrent of profanity follows the bee.
  583. (9:40:25 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik looks at duncan.
  584. (9:40:33 PM) ShockwaveLover: "I'm a fucking medic."
  585. (9:41:16 PM) ShockwaveLover: He surveys the damage. Has it hit anything vital?
  586. (9:41:18 PM) Feierbird: Removing the stinger does not require a roll. Doing so without squeezing venom into Duncan, however, requires a medical roll.
  587. (9:41:26 PM) Feierbird: Nothing vital, but he's bleeding.
  588. (9:41:55 PM) Pyrok: Tobias steps back and watches. A sledgehammer definitely isn't useful right now.
  589. (9:43:08 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Fuck me. That stings like a bitch." He looks up. "I've got a bit of medic training, but I'm not sure I can get it out without getting poisoned."
  590. (9:43:43 PM) Fifthman: Cecil goes to Tobias. "We won't be useful." Cecil starts to pull off his coat and shirt, then shows his back to Tobias. "Do you see anything? Seriously? I'm itching like mad right now."
  591. (9:44:01 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance kneels down, and presses Duncan down until he is lying in the street. He then attempts to remove the stinger without poisoning him.
  592. (9:44:10 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Still, I don't want it to stay in there." He grasps it.
  593. (9:44:12 PM) Feierbird: Roll medical!
  594. (9:44:25 PM) ShockwaveLover: Who's rolling?
  595. (9:44:32 PM) Uncandescent: 6df+7 Tagging Good with His hands

  598. (9:45:10 PM) Feierbird: It's mostly good, but some of the jostling squeezes some of the stinger's contents into Duncan.
  599. (9:45:11 PM) FlyingIcarus: Roll the wound/
  600. (9:45:15 PM) Feierbird: No.
  601. (9:45:18 PM) FlyingIcarus: Mk
  602. (9:45:26 PM) Feierbird: -1 body, but the stinger's out. You can attempt a normal medical roll to heal the wound.
  603. (9:45:31 PM) deviange [Mibbit@synIRC-E058E31E.hsd1.ga.comcast.net] entered the room.
  604. (9:46:03 PM) Uncandescent: "I tried.
  605. (9:46:14 PM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan chucks some bandages on to stem the bleeding, but doesn't do anything more.
  606. (9:46:15 PM) Uncandescent: " Terrance offers as he pockets the stinger.
  607. (9:46:19 PM) Pyrok: Tobias looks at Cecil's back. "There's nothing there. Why would you be itching?"
  608. (9:46:25 PM) FlyingIcarus: What is the venoms effects?
  609. (9:47:02 PM) Fifthman: "I dunno. Nothing? Are you sure? Maybe it was the blue bees, but... agh, that's really annoying." Cecil puts his shirt and coat back on.
  610. (9:48:00 PM) ShockwaveLover: "That's the last time I try to reason with a bee."
  611. (9:48:15 PM) Feierbird: The symptoms include stinging like a bitch, mostly. It's gonna be sore and itchy for a while.
  612. (9:48:37 PM) Mr_Wilt is now known as Wilt_O`Feighe
  613. (9:49:03 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Make sure that stinger gets to Research. I imagine they'll want to take a look."
  614. (9:49:19 PM) Denied_Existence: "Yeah...shall we continue onwards?"
  615. (9:49:27 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan picks up the jar again and shuts it.
  616. (9:49:45 PM) Denied_Existence: 'Alternatively we could try going down this hole."
  617. (9:49:59 PM) Uncandescent: Redact the pocketing. Terrance just offers it to Tobias.
  618. (9:50:11 PM) ShockwaveLover: Why Tobias?
  619. (9:50:18 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik keeps on walking into the orange.
  620. (9:50:21 PM) Pyrok: Tobias opens his duffel bag, hangs the tools on his belt, and drops the stinger in.
  621. (9:50:36 PM) Uncandescent: He's closest and not walking and not itching. But mostly closest.
  622. (9:50:40 PM) padri is now known as plaundri
  623. (9:51:03 PM) ShockwaveLover: "My rule of thumb is is that if one of two options is 'go down a hole', you pick the other one."
  624. (9:51:55 PM) Fifthman: Cecil looks up. What color is the static sky?
  625. (9:52:13 PM) Feierbird: Decidedly orange now.
  626. (9:52:19 PM) Feierbird: Think pumpkins.
  627. (9:52:55 PM) Feierbird: Anyways. Is the team continuing orangewards, or are they standing around?
  628. (9:53:04 PM) Fifthman: "Aside from me itching and Duncan being impaled and all of us having beestings all over, this is pretty funny."
  629. (9:53:05 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan continues onwards.
  630. (9:53:10 PM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan is contemplating being molested by a giant bee.
  631. (9:53:31 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Yeah, regular fucking laugh riot."
  632. (9:53:32 PM) Fifthman: Cecil follows Stefan. "It's as if the static from those old-time TVs is made by bees."
  633. (9:53:36 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance glares at Cecil for a moment, then follows Stefan.
  634. (9:53:53 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik heads to the front of the group.
  635. (9:54:07 PM) Pyrok: "Maybe we should go try the other edge?"

Further, everyone except Erik and Tobias might find a slightly mesmerizing quality to the sight.
  650. (9:57:59 PM) Feierbird: Cecil, Terrance, Stefan, and Duncan, mdef.
  651. (9:58:06 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik seems a bit distracted by the bees.
  652. (9:58:07 PM) ShockwaveLover: If they aren't staying around long enough to be seen, how are we seeing them?

  661. (10:00:37 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik keeps on walken.
  662. (10:00:46 PM) Pyrok: Tobias walks slower and looks around. "Is this like bee static?"
  663. (10:01:08 PM) Fifthman: "That's exactly what I said eaaaarliieerr."
  664. (10:01:16 PM) Denied_Existence: "...Thank god I'm not allergic."
  665. (10:01:30 PM) Feierbird: Alright, here we go. The bees stop appearing, now give me a moment to describe effects.
  666. (10:02:21 PM) Feierbird: Stefan, HOLY SHIT YOU'RE GONNA DIE, OH MY GOD IT'S SO MUCH FUCKING PANIC YOU GOTTA DO SOMETHING JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.

  672. (10:03:20 PM) Fifthman: He starts clasping at his abdominal area. Where is it where is it where is it...
  673. (10:03:35 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance immediately takes out his pistol, having holstered it due to previous events, and attempts to get a bead on the shadows until he realizes they move with his vision.
  674. (10:03:44 PM) ShockwaveLover: Can Duncan attempt to break Cecil out of his panic?
  675. (10:03:52 PM) Feierbird: You mean Stefan, right?
  676. (10:04:09 PM) ShockwaveLover: Yeah, sorry.
  677. (10:04:15 PM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan has an idea.
  678. (10:04:29 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik wlaks along serenely.
  679. (10:04:33 PM) Feierbird: Sure, go ahead. But it will require a persuasion roll, unless you have something up your sleeve.
  680. (10:05:00 PM) ShockwaveLover: 6df+4 Maneuver - Melee to Persuasion
  681. (10:05:00 PM) Glacon: ShockwaveLover: Maneuver - Melee to Persuasion: 6 (6df+4=0, 0, +, 0, 0, +)
  682. (10:05:01 PM) Fifthman: Cecil collapses to the ground on his knees. I'm itching and there's something in me and omg it's all over I can't get it out make them stop
  683. (10:05:07 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance does a few full body turns before confirming that they aren't really there. Do they do anything, or just stand there?
  684. (10:05:21 PM) Feierbird: They just stand there, Terrance, but they're almost certainly looking at you.
  685. (10:05:26 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik ignores everyone else.
  686. (10:06:02 PM) Feierbird: Assuming he can make a melee to persuasion maneuver make sense, he has the maneuver.
  687. (10:06:14 PM) ShockwaveLover: It's intimidation.
  688. (10:06:23 PM) Feierbird: Continue, then.
  689. (10:07:13 PM) ShockwaveLover: Okay, so with a +4 to Persuasion (Intimidation)...
  690. (10:07:15 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance moves over to Cecil and holds his arms behind his back, doing his very best to ignore the shadows.
  691. (10:07:27 PM) Uncandescent: Rolling Ath.
  692. (10:07:38 PM) Uncandescent: 6df+5
  693. (10:07:38 PM) Glacon: Uncandescent: 2 (6df+5=-, -, -, 0, 0, 0)
  694. (10:07:41 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan is still running like hell.
  695. (10:07:43 PM) Feierbird: Rolling athletics is unnecessary if he does not resist.
  696. (10:07:58 PM) Uncandescent: Oh, I thought he would freak out.
  697. (10:07:59 PM) ShockwaveLover: 6df+8 Duncan slaps Stefan on his way past. "Snap out of it!"
  698. (10:07:59 PM) Glacon: ShockwaveLover: Duncan slaps Stefan on his way past. "Snap out of it!": 9 (6df+8=+, -, 0, +, 0, 0)
  699. (10:08:06 PM) Feierbird: Indeed Stefan is. If Duncan wants to slap Stefan's shit, they'll have to roll opposing athletic rolls.
  700. (10:08:11 PM) Feierbird: Scratch that.
  701. (10:08:15 PM) Feierbird: Stefan, pdef.
  702. (10:08:22 PM) Denied_Existence: 6df+6
  703. (10:08:22 PM) Glacon: Denied_Existence: 5 (6df+6=+, -, 0, -, +, -)
  704. (10:08:33 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan is slapped.
  705. (10:08:34 PM) Feierbird: Stefan is slapped. Now mdef.
  706. (10:08:48 PM) Denied_Existence: 6df+8 Mdef: NO WAY MAN THIS SHIT IS SERIOUS.
  707. (10:08:48 PM) Glacon: Denied_Existence: Mdef: NO WAY MAN THIS SHIT IS SERIOUS.: 12 (6df+8=+, -, +, +, +, +)
  708. (10:08:53 PM) Fifthman: Cecil's squirming as he's lifted by Terrance. "They're everywhere and they won't get out make it stop make it stop make it stop"
  709. (10:09:04 PM) Feierbird: Duncan's slapping does little to reassure Stefan.
  710. (10:09:16 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan gives Duncan a horrified look and bolts.
  711. (10:09:23 PM) Fifthman: 6df+1 pitiful squirming
  712. (10:09:24 PM) Glacon: Fifthman: pitiful squirming: -1 (6df+1=-, +, -, -, -, +)
  713. (10:09:33 PM) ShockwaveLover: "For the love of..."
  714. (10:09:38 PM) Feierbird: He's still panicky, but in the back of his mind he can tell that there's nothing rational about it. Still panicky as hell.
  715. (10:10:12 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan can feel the adrenaline pumping through his veins, little is going to stop him. He's running for his life now.
  716. (10:10:16 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik's still looking serene.
  717. (10:10:18 PM) ShockwaveLover: Could I do Ranged to Persuasion? Threaten him with being shot?
  718. (10:10:46 PM) Feierbird: If you actually fire bullets in his direction, sure. If you do so, specify whether or not you intend to hit him.
  719. (10:10:48 PM) ShockwaveLover: Or fire a warning shot.
  720. (10:11:17 PM) ShockwaveLover: 6df+7 Ranged to Persuasion - warning shot into the air
  721. (10:11:17 PM) Glacon: ShockwaveLover: Ranged to Persuasion - warning shot into the air: 4 (6df+7=-, -, -, +, 0, -)
  722. (10:11:26 PM) Feierbird: Meh.
  723. (10:11:34 PM) Denied_Existence: 6df+8 Mdef: OH GOD AM I BEING SHOT AT!?
  724. (10:11:34 PM) Glacon: Denied_Existence: Mdef: OH GOD AM I BEING SHOT AT!?: 5 (6df+8=-, -, 0, +, -, -)
  725. (10:11:50 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance binds Cecil's hands behind his back with wire. Roll Engineering?
  726. (10:11:51 PM) Feierbird: That was a maneuver. Duncan can still roll his normal persuasion.
  727. (10:11:51 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan does not realize he's being shot /at/.
  728. (10:11:59 PM) ShockwaveLover: Quite.
  729. (10:12:40 PM) ShockwaveLover: 6df+4 Persuasion - Duncan yells for Stefan to stop, or he'll shoot.
  730. (10:12:41 PM) Glacon: ShockwaveLover: Persuasion - Duncan yells for Stefan to stop, or he'll shoot.: 4 (6df+4=+, 0, 0, -, 0, 0)
  731. (10:12:45 PM) Wilt_O`Feighe left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
  732. (10:12:55 PM) Mr_Wilt [Mibbit@A0889ECE.1023C973.306722CC.IP] entered the room.
  733. (10:12:55 PM) mode (+o Mr_Wilt) by ChanServ
  734. (10:13:01 PM) Pyrok: Tobias runs over to Terrance, and looks straight at Cecil. "HEY! Snap out of it! There's nothing on your back, and there's nothing else, either."
  735. (10:13:06 PM) Feierbird: Stefan suddenly disappears and, retaining his direction and momentum, reappears about two doors behind the group, running towards them.
  736. (10:14:05 PM) Uncandescent: 6df+5 This is for your own good.
  737. (10:14:06 PM) Glacon: Uncandescent: This is for your own good.: 7 (6df+5=+, 0, 0, +, -, +)
  738. (10:14:07 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik keeps on walkan.

  740. (10:14:09 PM) Glacon: Denied_Existence: Mdef: OH GOD NOW I'M BEING SHOT AT: 7 (6df+8=0, +, +, -, -, -)
  741. (10:14:37 PM) Feierbird: Cecil's hands are bound.
  742. (10:14:44 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan runs past the group again, now freaking out even more.
  743. (10:14:54 PM) Feierbird: Erik experiences the same effect that Stefan did.
  744. (10:15:02 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Stupid fucker! Stop running!"
  745. (10:15:33 PM) Feierbird: Stefan, if you're sprinting, roll athletics to keep up this pace.
  746. (10:15:36 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance leaves Cecil unable to claw his insides out and runs to tackle Stefan.
  747. (10:15:46 PM) Feierbird: Or to avoid being tackled.
  748. (10:15:52 PM) Denied_Existence: 6df+2 BOY MY LEGS ARE TIED
  749. (10:15:52 PM) Glacon: Denied_Existence: BOY MY LEGS ARE TIED: 6 (6df+2=-, +, +, +, +, +)
  750. (10:15:56 PM) Denied_Existence: TIRED
  751. (10:16:00 PM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan's decided to wait and just let the dopey sod tire himself out.
  752. (10:16:17 PM) Uncandescent: 6df+5 Stop. Running.
  753. (10:16:17 PM) Glacon: Uncandescent: Stop. Running.: 5 (6df+5=+, 0, -, +, 0, -)
  754. (10:16:35 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik sighs and stops walking.
  755. (10:16:44 PM) Feierbird: Stefan manages to keep up the pace, until he has to avoid being tackled. Roll athletics for that, now.
  756. (10:16:50 PM) Denied_Existence: "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
  757. (10:17:33 PM) Denied_Existence: 6df+2 "NO NO NO NONO NONONONONONONONON"
  758. (10:17:33 PM) Glacon: Denied_Existence: "NO NO NO NONO NONONONONONONONON": 1 (6df+2=0, -, +, -, -, +)
  759. (10:17:50 PM) Feierbird: Stefan is tackled.
  760. (10:18:06 PM) Feierbird: Anyone who wants to try persuasion again can do so with a +4 bonus.
  761. (10:18:42 PM) Fifthman: Cecil continues to squirm. "They're crawling all over me get it out get it out get it out!"
  762. (10:18:46 PM) ShockwaveLover: He gestures to Terrance. "You want to see if you can snap the silly bugger out of it?"
  763. (10:18:55 PM) FlyingIcarus: 6df+9 "Stop fucking around."
  764. (10:18:55 PM) Glacon: FlyingIcarus: "Stop fucking around.": 9 (6df+9=0, 0, -, +, 0, 0)
  765. (10:19:16 PM) Feierbird: Same goes to anyone talking to Cecil. Mdef, Stefan. And Cecil, if anyone attempts to persuade him.
  766. (10:19:27 PM) Denied_Existence: 6df+8 "THE BEES MAN, THEY'RE AFTER MEEEEEEEE HELPOHGODHELP."
  767. (10:19:27 PM) Glacon: Denied_Existence: "THE BEES MAN, THEY'RE AFTER MEEEEEEEE HELPOHGODHELP.": 8 (6df+8=+, -, 0, +, 0, -)
  768. (10:19:54 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan starts to calm down a bit, he's still squirming, panic attacks are hellish.
  769. (10:20:09 PM) FlyingIcarus: "GET A HANDLE, MAN."
  770. (10:20:12 PM) Feierbird: He'll be jittery, but he's thinking rationally now.
  771. (10:20:15 PM) Feierbird: Mostly.
  772. (10:20:49 PM) Pyrok: Tobias turns back to Cecil and shakes him. "SNAP OUT OF IT!!"
  773. (10:21:00 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan starts taking deep breaths, his body still filled with adrenaline.
  774. (10:21:26 PM) Feierbird: Tobias, persuasion with +4 bonus. Cecil, mdef.
  775. (10:21:30 PM) ShockwaveLover: "I am /this/ bloody close to shooting everybody but Terrance, and heading back to the sub."
  776. (10:22:26 PM) Pyrok: 6df+4 get over it
  777. (10:22:27 PM) Glacon: Pyrok: get over it: 4 (6df+4=0, +, +, 0, -, -)
  778. (10:22:27 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik sighs and sees if he can enter a house.
  779. (10:22:42 PM) Feierbird: Erik, whatever house you choose to enter, the door is unlocked.
  780. (10:22:49 PM) Fifthman: Cecil foregoes his saving throw. He stops squirming.
  781. (10:23:05 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik enters said house.
  782. (10:23:12 PM) Feierbird: To dispel a mental effect, you have to roll mdef.
  783. (10:23:40 PM) Feierbird: Erik, the floor plan, walls, and furniture differ, but for all intents and purposes, it's just like the other two houses you were in.
  784. (10:24:00 PM) ShockwaveLover: "And where the hell has Labrant gotten to?"
  785. (10:24:09 PM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan looks around for Erik.
  786. (10:24:14 PM) Feierbird: Actually, Cecil, go ahead and stop squirming. Your back is still itchy and there's still something in your intestines, though.
  787. (10:24:26 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik checks its TV
  788. (10:24:52 PM) Feierbird: The screen disappears and a bee flies out. It stings Erik on the nose and flies off.
  789. (10:25:12 PM) ShockwaveLover: 6df+5 Where's he gotten to now?
  790. (10:25:12 PM) Glacon: ShockwaveLover: Where's he gotten to now?: 4 (6df+5=+, -, -, +, -, 0)
  791. (10:25:30 PM) FlyingIcarus: "Ow, ya Bumhudger."
  792. (10:25:41 PM) Feierbird: Duncan, you see Erik just as he enters a house.
  793. (10:26:30 PM) ShockwaveLover: He looks over at Terrance. "Can you handle this lot? I better go make sure the Boy Wonder isn't fucking anything up."
  794. (10:26:31 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan gets up shakily, clutching his rifle for dear life.
  795. (10:26:38 PM) Fifthman: Cecil looks around for the others. Where's the nearest team member?
  796. (10:26:43 PM) ShockwaveLover: With that, he heads for the house.
  797. (10:26:51 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik attempts to go into the basement
  798. (10:26:56 PM) Feierbird: Stefan and Terrance should be right up next to him.
  799. (10:27:04 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance lets Stefan go and gets to his feet as well.
  800. (10:27:26 PM) Feierbird: Erik, the basement is carpeted with drywall. A couch is there, along with a laundry machine and some plumbing shit that I don't even into.
  801. (10:27:40 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik opens the laundry machine.
  802. (10:28:15 PM) plaundri is now known as padri
  803. (10:28:44 PM) Feierbird: Duncan has reached the house. Erik, the laundry machine is empty.
  804. (10:29:07 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik sighs and sits on the couch.
  805. (10:29:08 PM) Pyrok: Tobias stands up, and helps the still tied-up Cecil do the same.
  806. (10:29:36 PM) Feierbird: Is Erik allergic to mold or dust?
  807. (10:29:56 PM) ShockwaveLover: Is it obvious which way Erik is? Or should he flip a coin?
  808. (10:29:58 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance continues to ignore the staring shadows. Staring right at him.
  809. (10:30:19 PM) Fifthman: Cecil stands. "They're still there, though. They're still there. Where are we going?"
  810. (10:30:20 PM) FlyingIcarus: No.
  811. (10:30:27 PM) Feierbird: Roll survival to track Erik through the house.
  812. (10:30:36 PM) ShockwaveLover: 6df+5 Track and field?
  813. (10:30:37 PM) Glacon: ShockwaveLover: Track and field?: 2 (6df+5=-, -, 0, +, -, -)
  814. (10:30:50 PM) Uncandescent: Or just yell "Hey Erik"
  815. (10:31:08 PM) Feierbird: Duncan might notice a dirty footprint or two heading to the basement.
  816. (10:31:41 PM) ShockwaveLover: With a sigh, he heads down.
  817. (10:31:52 PM) ShockwaveLover: Is the basement lit?
  818. (10:31:58 PM) Feierbird: Yep.
  819. (10:32:22 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Erik, where are you?"
  820. (10:32:27 PM) FlyingIcarus: "In here."
  821. (10:32:39 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan moves into the building and follows Duncan.
  822. (10:32:59 PM) ShockwaveLover: "You know, you really have to get out of the habit of wandering off."
  823. (10:33:12 PM) FlyingIcarus: "None of you seemed to be doing anything."
  824. (10:33:42 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Aside from dealing with two team members who were clearly in trouble?"
  825. (10:33:56 PM) Pyrok: Tobias looks at Cecil and Terrance. "Maybe we should follow them."
  826. (10:34:26 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Or providing cover to each other? Or simply being there to help if the situation demanded?"
  827. (10:34:27 PM) Fifthman: Cecil hobbles into the house and settles into the couch to scratch his itches. His hands are still tied though.
  828. (10:34:46 PM) Denied_Existence: "Duncan? Mabye we should head towards the green instead...this area is a bit bee filled..."
  829. (10:35:27 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik sighs and leaves. "Sorry. I guess."
  830. (10:35:30 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance stands to the side of the front door, looking out for threats. The shadows don't make that any easier.
  831. (10:35:50 PM) Feierbird: The shadows seem to be approaching you, Terrance.
  832. (10:36:15 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Right. Well, we don't seem to be making much progress going this way. Someone run out and check the house number."
  833. (10:37:03 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance grasps his gun tighter and presses his back against the side of the house.
  834. (10:37:31 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan runs out and checks the number on this house.
  835. (10:37:51 PM) Feierbird: 702.
  836. (10:38:06 PM) Feierbird: Terrance, one of them is right next to you. It whispers in your left ear:
  837. (10:38:12 PM) Feierbird: "What if bees was a science subject to bee review."
  838. (10:38:21 PM) Feierbird: Nobody but Terrance can see or hear this, mind you.
  839. (10:39:01 PM) Feierbird: Where exactly is everyone at this point?
  840. (10:39:12 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik is back with the group/
  841. (10:39:23 PM) Feierbird: You'll have to be more specific.
  842. (10:39:32 PM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan's in the yard, waiting for the house number.
  843. (10:39:43 PM) padri left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
  844. (10:39:50 PM) Feierbird: 21:38 Feierbird 702.
  845. (10:40:03 PM) ShockwaveLover: Stefan hasn't told him.
  846. (10:40:14 PM) Pyrok: Tobias stands in the yard, thinking over what just happened.
  847. (10:40:26 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance attempts to shoot the shadow bylooking forward and shooting his gun at where it would be if it were real.
  848. (10:40:31 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan runs back in to where Duncan is. "Number seven hundred and two."
  849. (10:40:32 PM) Fifthman: Cecil's rubbing his back against the side of the couch. Does that help the itch any?
  850. (10:40:52 PM) Feierbird: The gun goes off and a bullet flies off in the proper direction. The figure disappears and does not move.
  851. (10:41:06 PM) Feierbird: Cecil, it feels really nice to do that. But once you stop, the itch fades back.
  852. (10:41:09 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Seven oh two? Well gents, what do we want to d- fuck!"
  853. (10:41:33 PM) Feierbird: The figure whispers at Terrance again. "What if you served refreshments to bees?"
  854. (10:41:43 PM) ShockwaveLover: He hits the ground, twisting around in the direction of the shot.
  855. (10:42:02 PM) Pyrok: "Terrance, what are you doing?!" Tobias moves towards Terrance, ready to try and take the weapon.
  856. (10:42:34 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance closes his eyes and breathes deeply. "I'm fine."
  857. (10:43:16 PM) ShockwaveLover: "God dammit, a hundred houses, and all we've got to show for it is a 6ft dead bee."
  858. (10:43:30 PM) Pyrok: He looks skeptical. "Well then put the gun away."
  859. (10:43:35 PM) Feierbird: Duncan, you almost certainly haven't gone a hundred houses.
  860. (10:43:38 PM) Fifthman: Cecil ducks under Terrance's gunfire, taking cover behind the couch.
  861. (10:43:55 PM) ShockwaveLover: We started at 812. We are now at 702.
  862. (10:44:08 PM) ShockwaveLover: 812-702 = 110
  863. (10:44:15 PM) Feierbird: The house numbers have decreased by 110, yes. But you don't recall having gone a hundred houses down.
  864. (10:44:31 PM) Pyrok: so 55 houses?
  865. (10:44:40 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan shrugs. "Shall we continue?"
  866. (10:45:01 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Wait, hang on, we haven't gone 110 houses. Not even close."
  867. (10:45:12 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance holsters his gun and lets the breath out. "They would want them with honey." He says softly.
  868. (10:45:34 PM) Uncandescent: *tea
  869. (10:45:37 PM) ShockwaveLover: "There's something screwy about this place..."
  870. (10:45:46 PM) Denied_Existence: "Ya think?"
  871. (10:46:00 PM) Feierbird: To Terrance, "What if bees were made of bigger bees?"
  872. (10:46:09 PM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan is the master of the understatement/
  873. (10:46:16 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance opens his eyes.
  874. (10:46:34 PM) Feierbird: The figure is at his right ear now.
  875. (10:46:41 PM) deviange left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
  876. (10:47:20 PM) Pyrok: Tobias walks towards Terrance and takes some paracord off his vest. "Okay, no more games."
  877. (10:47:48 PM) Denied_Existence: "I think it loops around ahead...shall we try that hole?
  878. (10:47:50 PM) Denied_Existence: "
  879. (10:48:00 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Frankly, I'm ready to call it. We aren't finding anything except bees."
  880. (10:48:14 PM) Fifthman: Cecil hobbles over to the rest of the party. "So we're going back?"
  881. (10:48:20 PM) Denied_Existence: "The sub doesn't exactly work that way..."
  882. (10:48:36 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance steps forward, sweating slightly. "That won't be necessary."
  883. (10:48:53 PM) Denied_Existence: "Usually we have to find out what's down here and fix it, kill it, survive it, or make peace with it before we get back."
  884. (10:48:55 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Well unless anyone's got any ideas that aren't 'go into the hole'..."
  885. (10:49:10 PM) FlyingIcarus: "1 vote for go into the hole."
  886. (10:49:46 PM) Denied_Existence: "That's what I'm going with. It seems like our only way forwards."
  887. (10:49:58 PM) Uncandescent: "So do I." Terrance calls out, a bit strained.
  888. (10:50:05 PM) Fifthman: "Hey, can someone untie me?" Cecil's hands are still bound.
  889. (10:50:17 PM) ShockwaveLover: "And how exactly do you propose we get /out/ of the hole?"
  890. (10:50:18 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik uses his multitool to cut Cecil free.
  891. (10:50:27 PM) Feierbird: To Terrance, "What if bees unwittingly morphed into heroin during the full moon?"
  892. (10:50:39 PM) Fifthman: "Now can someone slap me?"
  893. (10:50:45 PM) Pyrok: Tobias starts to unwrap the paracord, but stops when he hears the others. "So we're jumping?"
  894. (10:50:59 PM) Denied_Existence: "The hole curves off. It
  895. (10:51:04 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik slaps Cecil.
  896. (10:51:06 PM) Denied_Existence: It's not much of a jump.
  897. (10:51:08 PM) Denied_Existence: "
  898. (10:51:24 PM) Feierbird: The hole is just a short walk back. No more than a few minutes.
  899. (10:51:30 PM) Fifthman: Cecil shakes his head. "Okay, still itching?" he thought aloud.
  900. (10:51:41 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Well, you first."
  901. (10:51:54 PM) FlyingIcarus: "i'll go."
  902. (10:51:59 PM) Feierbird: It's still itchy, but not /as/ bad. The -2 to perception is gone, but you'd still be feeling distracted.
  903. (10:52:14 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance begins heading in that direction. "Let's just do it."
  904. (10:52:31 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik heads back to the hole.
  905. (10:52:36 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan heads to the hole and looks down. Is it a simple jump?
  906. (10:53:03 PM) Feierbird: Yeah, about ten feet. Shouldn't be a problem.
  907. (10:53:25 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik jump-slides down into the hole.
  908. (10:53:32 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan shrugs, pulls his gas mask on and hops in.
  909. (10:53:50 PM) Fifthman: "Okay. Down the hole then." Cecil still tries to scratch, everywhere, but he stays coherent long enough to follow the others.
  910. (10:54:05 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance follows.
  911. (10:54:19 PM) Pyrok: Tobias looks into the hole and drops down, ready to hit the ground hard.
  912. (10:54:19 PM) Feierbird: A tunnel is seen where the hole curves off. It extends into the darkness.
  913. (10:55:22 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance turns on his flashlight.
  914. (10:55:24 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan turns on his tactical light and proceeds forwards.
  915. (10:55:42 PM) Feierbird: The tunnel looks like it extends about fifty feet. The walls are made of rocks and compacted soil.
  916. (10:55:45 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Holey moley." Duncan jumps in.
  917. (10:55:47 PM) Uncandescent: Terrance falls back and covers the rear, sticking to the walls.
  918. (10:56:27 PM) Pyrok: Tobias takes out his flashlight and heads forward.
  919. (10:56:30 PM) Fifthman: Cecil falls and tumbles like a derp, keeping his eyes out for any threats.
  920. (10:57:13 PM) Fifthman: He scratches occasionally.
  921. (10:58:02 PM) Feierbird: The tunnel opens up to what seems like the top of a dome-shaped cavern maybe fifty feet deep and two football fields in diameter. It is swarming with bees of all sizes, shapes, and colors, including more than a few at least as big as the one you saw before. The bees can be seen flying directly into and out of the walls. Directly below you, there's a space...
  922. (10:58:06 PM) ShockwaveLover: "So, anything of note? Lost Incan artifacts? The Holy Grail?"
  923. (10:58:24 PM) Feierbird: about ten feet in diameter. On the ground there, something small and brown... perception to take a look.
  924. (10:58:26 PM) ShockwaveLover: "...Or more bees."
  925. (10:58:38 PM) Fifthman: 6df+8 Cecil sense?
  926. (10:58:39 PM) Glacon: Fifthman: Cecil sense?: 10 (6df+8=+, +, 0, 0, 0, 0)
  927. (10:58:40 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik leans forward to get a look.
  928. (10:58:42 PM) FlyingIcarus: 6df+5
  929. (10:58:42 PM) Glacon: FlyingIcarus: 4 (6df+5=-, +, -, +, -, 0)
  930. (10:58:46 PM) ShockwaveLover: 6df+5 Sigh.
  931. (10:58:46 PM) Glacon: ShockwaveLover: Sigh.: 5 (6df+5=-, +, -, +, 0, 0)
  932. (10:58:50 PM) Uncandescent: 6df+6

  935. (10:59:00 PM) Denied_Existence: 6df+8 What do I see?
  936. (10:59:00 PM) Glacon: Denied_Existence: What do I see?: 7 (6df+8=-, -, +, +, -, 0)
  937. (10:59:11 PM) Uncandescent: 6df+6
  938. (10:59:12 PM) Glacon: Uncandescent: 11 (6df+6=+, +, +, 0, +, +)
  939. (11:00:12 PM) Feierbird: Everyone sees that it's a little brown book of sorts. Cecil and Terrance note that it has a single word on the front in large, yellow letters: BEES
  940. (11:00:20 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Of course. Of course! Why would I expect anything but bees?"
  941. (11:00:48 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan shrugs and picks the book up.
  942. (11:00:54 PM) Feierbird: The bees keep flying around, but the buzzing stops as Duncan speaks up.
  943. (11:00:59 PM) Fifthman: Cecil scratches at his abdomen as he speaks. "More... bees..."
  944. (11:01:04 PM) Feierbird: Stefan, that book is 50 feet below you in a bee-filled cavern.
  945. (11:01:13 PM) Feierbird: Do you want to jump down and attempt that?
  946. (11:01:13 PM) Denied_Existence: Oh.
  947. (11:01:14 PM) Uncandescent: He has long arms.
  948. (11:01:26 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan lights a flare and lets it drop.
  949. (11:01:28 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Oh buzz off."
  950. (11:01:42 PM) Denied_Existence: As it is dropping, he maps out a good way down the walls.
  951. (11:01:50 PM) Denied_Existence: 6df+8 Perception to ath
  952. (11:01:50 PM) Glacon: Denied_Existence: Perception to ath: 11 (6df+8=0, -, +, +, +, +)
  953. (11:01:56 PM) Feierbird: It lands on the book, which catches on fire.
  954. (11:02:04 PM) Denied_Existence: ...
  955. (11:02:07 PM) Feierbird: The bees disappear suddenly.
  956. (11:02:08 PM) Uncandescent: ...
  957. (11:02:21 PM) FlyingIcarus: "Did we win?"
  958. (11:02:30 PM) Feierbird: The book is still burning.
  959. (11:02:39 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Was that the book burning, or me telling them to buzz off?"
  960. (11:02:43 PM) Feierbird: And then the cave collapses. Pdef, everyone.
  961. (11:02:45 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan opens his canteen and pours some water down onto the book
  962. (11:03:02 PM) FlyingIcarus: 6df+3 DICKSMUGGLINGCOTCHEYRACKETSOFMYBEEFUCKERS
  963. (11:03:02 PM) Glacon: FlyingIcarus: DICKSMUGGLINGCOTCHEYRACKETSOFMYBEEFUCKERS: 3 (6df+3=0, 0, +, -, +, -)
  964. (11:03:03 PM) Pyrok: "Maybe we should go down and check. NEVERMIND AAAH!"
  965. (11:03:05 PM) Uncandescent: 6df+4 Still better than bee stings.
  966. (11:03:06 PM) Glacon: Uncandescent: Still better than bee stings.: 5 (6df+4=+, -, 0, +, -, +)
  967. (11:03:09 PM) Denied_Existence: 6df+10 tagging light step. I don't know why you assume I dropped it onto the book.
  968. (11:03:09 PM) Glacon: Denied_Existence: tagging light step. I don't know why you assume I dropped it onto the book.: 8 (6df+10=-, -, 0, 0, 0, 0)
  969. (11:03:10 PM) Pyrok: 6df+6
  970. (11:03:10 PM) Glacon: Pyrok: 6 (6df+6=0, +, +, 0, -, -)
  971. (11:03:19 PM) Fifthman: 6df+6 what the hell?
  972. (11:03:19 PM) Glacon: Fifthman: what the hell?: 2 (6df+6=-, -, -, 0, -, 0)
  973. (11:03:24 PM) ShockwaveLover: 6df+7 Hive of excitement
  974. (11:03:24 PM) Glacon: ShockwaveLover: Hive of excitement: 4 (6df+7=-, -, 0, -, -, +)
  975. (11:03:34 PM) padri [Mibbit@synIRC-E058E31E.hsd1.ga.comcast.net] entered the room.
  976. (11:03:53 PM) Feierbird: The sound is thunderous as everyone falls down, rocks and dirt and the pavement above going with them.
  977. (11:04:23 PM) Feierbird: It seems that the floor is collapsing as well, though. The book tumbles out of sight into what can be seen as the same yellow, staticky void that was the sky.
  978. (11:04:56 PM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan is forced to consider which is better, staticky sky, or bees.
  979. (11:05:04 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan lunges in the direction of the book.
  980. (11:05:14 PM) Feierbird: Some of the rocks start conglomerating below the group. They start moving together, grinding, and changing shapes... and colors...
  981. (11:05:20 PM) Denied_Existence: Or wherever it fell.
  982. (11:05:30 PM) Feierbird: The rocks form into various copies of the sub.
  983. (11:05:32 PM) Feierbird: d10
  984. (11:05:32 PM) Glacon: Feierbird: 5 (d10=5)
  985. (11:05:46 PM) ShockwaveLover: "..."
  986. (11:05:52 PM) Uncandescent: "..."
  987. (11:06:00 PM) ShockwaveLover: Gee Duncan, your Stoat impression is getting better all the time.
  988. (11:06:14 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik goes a straight as possible to go faster and catch up to the sub.
  989. (11:06:15 PM) Feierbird: Cecil and Duncan get hit and roughed up a bit on the way down. That's gonna hurt. However, everyone ends up falling into the open hatch of one of various subs.
  990. (11:06:23 PM) FlyingIcarus: Or not.
  991. (11:06:30 PM) Feierbird: They all find that they're in the same sub when they land, though.
  992. (11:06:38 PM) Feierbird: The hatch closes behind them.
  993. (11:06:40 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik looks around.
  994. (11:06:45 PM) deviange [Mibbit@synIRC-E058E31E.hsd1.ga.comcast.net] entered the room.
  995. (11:06:55 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Ooof!" Duncan seems to have landed on Cecil.
  996. (11:07:01 PM) Feierbird: The sensation of falling slowly dissipates, and all that can be seen is the static. But that slowly gives way to red water.
  997. (11:07:05 PM) Pyrok: *cough* "Is that it?"
  998. (11:07:18 PM) Uncandescent: "What." Terrance says flatly.
  999. (11:07:28 PM) Fifthman: Cecil lands, then feels a soft, heavy weight land right on top of him. "Agh!"
  1000. (11:07:38 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan gets up, his head a bit weary. "Well...that wasn't as strange as it could have been."
  1001. (11:07:50 PM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan isn't particularly soft. He's covered in ammo.
  1002. (11:07:59 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik is below Stefan it seems.
  1003. (11:07:59 PM) Feierbird: A small pile of ashes is visible on the floor of the sub.
  1004. (11:08:08 PM) ShockwaveLover: "I am going to burn every drop of honey I can find when we get back."
  1005. (11:08:11 PM) FlyingIcarus: "yes it was."
  1006. (11:08:18 PM) Feierbird: It makes a tiny bit of a buzzing noise, but nothing else.
  1007. (11:08:31 PM) Pyrok: Tobias check his duffel bag and the stinger inside it.
  1008. (11:08:42 PM) Denied_Existence: Stefan picks up the ash.
  1009. (11:08:48 PM) Fifthman: Cecil stops him.
  1010. (11:08:48 PM) FlyingIcarus: Erik clamors out form under stefan and takes a smaple of the ash.
  1011. (11:08:50 PM) FlyingIcarus: sample*
  1012. (11:09:00 PM) Fifthman: Redact.
  1013. (11:09:05 PM) BiggerJ [~chatzilla@synIRC-F865AFA0.dyn.iinet.net.au] entered the room.
  1014. (11:09:09 PM) ShockwaveLover: "We should get that stinger mounted once Research has finished with it."
  1015. (11:09:12 PM) Feierbird: The sub resurfaces back at #farrecon
