  1. [2011-12-10 15:01:27] <Wombat> "Hnngg. Not this again..."
  2. [2011-12-10 15:01:30] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan blinks to life. "Oh my fuck, not again."
  3. [2011-12-10 15:01:44] <Sequence> "What...?"
  4. [2011-12-10 15:01:59] <Scantron> It's really dark, and it takes a minute or so for everyone's eyes to adjust to the surroundings
  5. [2011-12-10 15:02:15] * NullAshton blinks awake, staring at the sky. Then his hand quickly reaches for his gun on his pistol, sitting up and quickly surveying his surroundings.
  6. [2011-12-10 15:02:23] <Wombat> Katrin turns on her flashlight.
  7. [2011-12-10 15:02:27] <Fifthman> Cecil turns another page in his field manual, then realizes he can't read what's on it because it's really, really dark.
  8. [2011-12-10 15:02:28] <Daedalize> Sigrun is lying on the ground, curled up in a ball.
  9. [2011-12-10 15:02:34] <Scantron> Not much help, Katrin.
  10. [2011-12-10 15:02:41] <Sequence> Eva rubs her eyes. "Who- who's here?"
  11. [2011-12-10 15:02:46] <Scantron> It's not as dark as it was in the sub, but it's dark.
  12. [2011-12-10 15:02:53] <Wombat> "Damn."
  13. [2011-12-10 15:02:55] <Scantron> Ah, you can see a bit now.
  14. [2011-12-10 15:03:01] <Fifthman> Cecil speaks up. "Eva, is that you?"
  15. [2011-12-10 15:03:09] <Daedalize> Sigrun blinks, then scrambles to her feet and backs away from the others.
  16. [2011-12-10 15:03:10] <Sequence> "Cecil? Yeah, it's me. Katrin?"
  17. [2011-12-10 15:03:27] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan blinks a few times. "Looks like the gang's all here."
  18. [2011-12-10 15:03:32] <Scantron> Everything is darkness and shadows, although you can sort of see a moon hidden behind clouds in the sky.
  19. [2011-12-10 15:03:43] <Sequence> "Nolan? Is Stoat here?"
  20. [2011-12-10 15:03:43] <Wombat> "Here."
  21. [2011-12-10 15:03:46] <Scantron> However, each team member is bathed in a small circle of bright light, like a stage light.
  22. [2011-12-10 15:03:53] <Scantron> You can see each other clearly, but not much else.
  23. [2011-12-10 15:04:03] <Wombat> "Huh."
  24. [2011-12-10 15:04:13] <Sequence> "Well then."
  25. [2011-12-10 15:04:15] <Daedalize> "A-are you all real? Or iz zis another hallucination?"
  26. [2011-12-10 15:04:29] <Wombat> "Well, I /think/ I'm real..."
  27. [2011-12-10 15:04:38] <NullAshton> Dmitri glances at the light surrounding them. "Stage show," he notes, standing up. "Fuck if I know. Lets assume not a hallucination, okay?"
  28. [2011-12-10 15:04:40] <Wombat> Katrin reaches over and pinches Sigrun.
  29. [2011-12-10 15:04:43] <Mr_Wilt> "No, she's not."
  30. [2011-12-10 15:04:48] <Scantron> There are... pillars around you. Ranging from a foot in diameter to five or six feet. They're too dark to see, but it's about as dense as a forest.
  31. [2011-12-10 15:04:52] <Scantron> Sigrun is pinched.
  32. [2011-12-10 15:04:55] <Fifthman> "Hey, it's like one of those cartoons where we can see each other, but not everyone else." Cecil plays with his hand, using the light from his body to see what the ground looks like.
  33. [2011-12-10 15:04:56] <Sequence> "I think, therefore I am, but I don't know if this is flesh real or mind real..."
  34. [2011-12-10 15:05:07] <Daedalize> Sigrun jumps at the pinch and moves away from Katrin.
  35. [2011-12-10 15:05:28] <Scantron> It appears to be concrete, but blackish.
  36. [2011-12-10 15:05:36] <Wombat> "Told you I'm real."
  37. [2011-12-10 15:05:41] <Scantron> Everybody roll perception.
  38. [2011-12-10 15:05:43] <Fifthman> Cecil approaches a pillar and gingerly knocks on it.
  39. [2011-12-10 15:05:49] <Fifthman> 6df+8 Cecil Sense!
  40. [2011-12-10 15:05:49] <Glacon> Fifthman: Cecil Sense!: 8 (6df+8=4-, 3+, 3+, 4-, 3+, 4-)
  41. [2011-12-10 15:05:50] <Sequence> 6df+4 oh dear
  42. [2011-12-10 15:05:51] <Glacon> Sequence: oh dear: 3 (6df+4=0, 0, 0, 4-, 3+, 4-)

  46. [2011-12-10 15:05:57] <Glacon> Mr_Wilt: 5 (6df+4=3+, 0, 4-, 0, 3+, 0)
  47. [2011-12-10 15:05:59] <NullAshton> 6df+8 I SEEEEE
  48. [2011-12-10 15:05:59] <Glacon> NullAshton: I SEEEEE: 11 (6df+8=3+, 3+, 3+, 3+, 0, 4-)
  49. [2011-12-10 15:06:01] <Scantron> It feels like smooth bark, but not quite.
  50. [2011-12-10 15:06:07] <Daedalize> 6df+6 Ohgodwhat
  51. [2011-12-10 15:06:07] <Glacon> Daedalize: Ohgodwhat: 7 (6df+6=4-, 0, 3+, 4-, 3+, 3+)

  54. [2011-12-10 15:07:11] <Scantron> Dmitri, Katrin, and Cecil see a spot of light in the distance not corresponding to any team member. It's hard to tell how far away it is exactly, as you don't have a good point of reference.
  55. [2011-12-10 15:07:41] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan scoots on closer to Eva, chambering a round into his rifle.
  56. [2011-12-10 15:07:45] <Wombat> "Anyone else see that light out there?"
  57. [2011-12-10 15:07:47] * NullAshton points in the direction of the light. "Head over there. I can see a pinprick of light there. Good as any." He heads on towards there.
  58. [2011-12-10 15:07:55] <Wombat> Katrin pulls out her revolver, and heads for the light.
  59. [2011-12-10 15:08:06] <Sequence> Eva shrugs. "If you can see it, might as well go towards it."
  60. [2011-12-10 15:08:19] * NullAshton then freezes. He then whispers, "And, weapons out. We're being watched."
  61. [2011-12-10 15:09:12] <Daedalize> "V-vhat? Vhere..." Sigrun shuts up and retrieves her pistol, holding it gingerly as she follows the others.
  62. [2011-12-10 15:09:17] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan follows after Katrin, scooting around pillars and whatnot.
  63. [2011-12-10 15:09:28] <Sequence> Eva follows Nolan, knives out.
  64. [2011-12-10 15:10:15] <NullAshton> Dmitri motions on, heading more towards the light. He keeps an eye out for the thing he said he saw, trying to not indicate that he's aware of another presence.
  65. [2011-12-10 15:10:27] <Fifthman> Cecil sighs. "I'll keep my weapon holstered. It'll do no good to threaten a potentially helpful asset."
  66. [2011-12-10 15:10:32] <Scantron> Katrin, roll athletics.
  67. [2011-12-10 15:12:01] <Wombat> 6df+7
  68. [2011-12-10 15:12:01] <Glacon> Wombat: 7 (6df+7=3+, 3+, 0, 4-, 0, 4-)
  69. [2011-12-10 15:12:06] <Scantron> 6df+8
  70. [2011-12-10 15:12:06] <Glacon> Scantron: 6 (6df+8=0, 4-, 4-, 4-, 3+, 0)
  71. [2011-12-10 15:12:53] <Scantron> Suddenly, a knife is heard forcefully impaling a tree right next to Katrin. She finds her foot on some sort of rope.
  72. [2011-12-10 15:13:08] <Wombat> "Hold up, guys. This place is rigged."
  73. [2011-12-10 15:13:22] <Sequence> Eva freezes.
  74. [2011-12-10 15:13:31] <Wombat> Katrin tries her light again, aiming it around her, trying to see if there's a secondary mechanism when she releases the rope.
  75. [2011-12-10 15:13:44] <Scantron> Nothing else happens. The rope is limp.
  76. [2011-12-10 15:13:49] <Fifthman> Cecil makes his way to the front of the group, following the rope to its source.
  77. [2011-12-10 15:13:58] <Wombat> Katrin works her way back to whatever triggering mechanism there is.
  78. [2011-12-10 15:14:00] <Scantron> You can see that the knife is attached to the rope, which is tied around several pillars and itself.
  79. [2011-12-10 15:14:19] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan watches his footing a little more carefully, now.
  80. [2011-12-10 15:14:22] <Scantron> Anyone who wants, roll survival.

  85. [2011-12-10 15:15:05] <Daedalize> 6df+3 || Sigrun scans the area, still glancing at her teammates on occasion.

  93. [2011-12-10 15:15:36] <Wombat> Katrin examines the knife.
  94. [2011-12-10 15:15:37] <Scantron> Nolan and Dmitri note that it looks like something you'd use to trap small animals.
  95. [2011-12-10 15:15:53] <Scantron> It's a combat knife, with a windshield breaker and a seatbelt cutter.
  96. [2011-12-10 15:16:10] <Scantron> Sigrun notes that the light is marginally closer.
  97. [2011-12-10 15:16:20] <Wombat> "Huh. Anyone know who uses knives like this?"
  98. [2011-12-10 15:16:31] <Mr_Wilt> "Doesn't look like it's a person trap." Nolan crouches down beside it.
  99. [2011-12-10 15:16:39] <Sequence> Eva peers at it and shrugs. "I got no clue."
  100. [2011-12-10 15:16:54] <Daedalize> "Ze- ze light, it iz closer to us."
  101. [2011-12-10 15:17:11] <Scantron> Probably because you've been walking towards it.
  102. [2011-12-10 15:18:03] <Wombat> Katrin pockets the knife.
  103. [2011-12-10 15:18:11] <NullAshton> "The whole trap seems like something you'd want to trap small animals with, yeah." Dmitri glances back towards the trees...
  104. [2011-12-10 15:18:22] <Scantron> Everyone roll perception.
  105. [2011-12-10 15:18:24] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan examines the rope a bit a more, before standing back up.
  106. [2011-12-10 15:18:27] <Sequence> 6df+4 oh noo
  107. [2011-12-10 15:18:27] <Glacon> Sequence: oh noo: 4 (6df+4=0, 3+, 0, 0, 0, 4-)

  112. [2011-12-10 15:18:34] <Fifthman> Cecil makes his way forward. He's probably got the better eyes and ears in the group.
  113. [2011-12-10 15:18:38] <NullAshton> 6df+12 tagging Paranoia
  114. [2011-12-10 15:18:39] <Glacon> NullAshton: tagging Paranoia: 10 (6df+12=0, 3+, 4-, 0, 4-, 4-)

  119. [2011-12-10 15:20:11] <Scantron> Sigrun, Cecil, Dmitri, and Katrin notice a large dark shape a few meters to their right move a bit.
  120. [2011-12-10 15:20:59] <Fifthman> "Hello?" Cecil moves toward the shift in the light. "Hello?" He raises his hands in the air. "I'm not armed."
  121. [2011-12-10 15:21:05] <NullAshton> Dmitri tries to track the creature quietly as it moves, trying to get a clear enough image to shoot at...
  122. [2011-12-10 15:21:06] =-= Soulless|RunningRunnin is now known as Soulless
  123. [2011-12-10 15:21:08] <Wombat> Katrin spins around, aiming her light at the spot.

  125. [2011-12-10 15:21:11] <Glacon> NullAshton: Perception maneuver to ranged.: 9 (6df+8=3+, 4-, 4-, 0, 3+, 3+)
  126. [2011-12-10 15:21:36] <Fifthman> "I mean you no harm. We're a bit lost here. Can you help us?"
  127. [2011-12-10 15:21:47] <Scantron> It's a rather indistinct, but about as big as a grizzly bear. It says nothing, but it seems like it's watching you.
  128. [2011-12-10 15:21:53] <Scantron> Katrin has a good shot at it.
  129. [2011-12-10 15:22:00] <Sequence> "Wait- don't!"
  130. [2011-12-10 15:22:03] <Daedalize> Sigrun starts to raise her gun, then stops with it awkwardly half-raised.
  131. [2011-12-10 15:22:28] <Wombat> Katrin pulls out her IR scope, and peers through it.
  132. [2011-12-10 15:22:36] <Fifthman> Cecil starts to approach the shape, very, very slowly.
  133. [2011-12-10 15:22:54] <Scantron> Whatever it is, it doesn't emit any significant amount of heat.
  134. [2011-12-10 15:23:16] <Scantron> The shape moves back a foot or so as Cecil approaches it.
  135. [2011-12-10 15:23:20] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan turns toward where everybody's looking.
  136. [2011-12-10 15:23:22] <Wombat> "I don't like this."
  137. [2011-12-10 15:23:29] <Sequence> Eva holds her hand out for the shape.
  138. [2011-12-10 15:23:54] <NullAshton> Dmitri has his pistol half-raised towards the thing, ready to shoot if it jumps on someone. His finger runs along the trigger of the pistol, not taking his eyes off the thing.
  139. [2011-12-10 15:24:07] <Scantron> The shape moves slowly towards Eva.
  140. [2011-12-10 15:24:23] <Wombat> Katrin's revolver is ready. "Do I take the shot?"
  141. [2011-12-10 15:24:26] <Daedalize> Sigrun scans the thing up and down, her hands shaking.
  142. [2011-12-10 15:24:38] <Sequence> "There, there, sweet thing... how are you? Katrin, don't you dare take the shot." Eva croons.
  143. [2011-12-10 15:24:39] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan raises his rifle as well, leering at the shadow.
  144. [2011-12-10 15:24:55] <Mr_Wilt> "No, not until it shows it's hostile."
  145. [2011-12-10 15:25:01] <Scantron> The shape touches Eva's hand.
  146. [2011-12-10 15:25:16] <Sequence> She slowly, ever so slowly reaches up to pet it.
  147. [2011-12-10 15:25:24] <Scantron> Suddenly, the light illuminating Eva goes out entirely. There's even a sound like a stage light going off.
  148. [2011-12-10 15:25:41] <Sequence> Eva freezes.
  149. [2011-12-10 15:26:00] <Wombat> Katrin's gun beeps. Loudly. First stage trigger primed.
  150. [2011-12-10 15:26:06] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan stops breathing.
  151. [2011-12-10 15:26:09] <Mr_Wilt> "Eva?"
  152. [2011-12-10 15:26:16] <Scantron> Eva gets a distinct feeling of being squeezed tightly. She can still see the others in the group. However, they can't see or hear her.
  153. [2011-12-10 15:26:31] <Sequence> "I- I think I'm still here- something's squeezing me, I can see you!"
  154. [2011-12-10 15:26:57] <Scantron> The dark shape stays where it is.
  155. [2011-12-10 15:27:08] <Wombat> "Do I TAKE THE SHOT?"
  156. [2011-12-10 15:27:21] <Mr_Wilt> "No! You might hit Eva!"
  157. [2011-12-10 15:27:21] <Fifthman> Cecil holds out his hand.
  158. [2011-12-10 15:27:33] <Sequence> "I'm still here! Don't, I'm still here!"
  159. [2011-12-10 15:27:34] <Daedalize> Sigrun moves to where Eva was standing, waving her free hand about in the space where she was.
  160. [2011-12-10 15:27:51] <Scantron> Eva can see Sigrun's hand move right through her, like she's not even there.
  161. [2011-12-10 15:28:02] <NullAshton> Dmitri lifts the pistol as the light suddenly goes out, ready to shoot.
  162. [2011-12-10 15:28:03] <Sequence> "I- Oh god..." Eva feels ill.
  163. [2011-12-10 15:28:03] <Scantron> Sigrun doesn't feel anything other than air.
  164. [2011-12-10 15:28:26] <Fifthman> "Take me to where you took Eva," Cecil says gently.
  165. [2011-12-10 15:28:26] <Daedalize> "I cannot feel her. She iz vanished."
  166. [2011-12-10 15:28:37] <Sequence> "I'm right here, can't you hear me?"
  167. [2011-12-10 15:28:50] <Wombat> Katrin advances, waving her flashlight around.
  168. [2011-12-10 15:29:06] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan slowly walks toward where she was.
  169. [2011-12-10 15:29:13] <Mr_Wilt> "We can hear you, Eva, we just can't see you."
  170. [2011-12-10 15:29:21] <Scantron> They can't hear Eva.
  171. [2011-12-10 15:29:26] <Mr_Wilt> RETCON
  172. [2011-12-10 15:29:44] <Scantron> The shape mutters something. "...too hot in here..."
  173. [2011-12-10 15:30:12] <Sequence> "Nolan, please, I'm right here!"
  174. [2011-12-10 15:30:39] <Scantron> Nolan, Dmitri, Eva, and Sigrun might recognize the voice.
  175. [2011-12-10 15:30:48] <Scantron> Is... is that Vander?
  176. [2011-12-10 15:31:01] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan blinks.
  177. [2011-12-10 15:31:05] <Wombat> "Give Eva back before I put a bullet in your head."
  178. [2011-12-10 15:31:09] <Mr_Wilt> "Vander?"
  179. [2011-12-10 15:31:28] <Daedalize> "V-Vander? You vere killed, how...?"
  180. [2011-12-10 15:31:31] <Fifthman> "Vander? Who's Vander?"
  181. [2011-12-10 15:31:46] <Sequence> "What? Vander is here?"
  182. [2011-12-10 15:31:49] <Mr_Wilt> "He died, same time a-"
  183. [2011-12-10 15:31:55] <NullAshton> Dmitr tilts his head. "Or something or someone using his voice."
  184. [2011-12-10 15:31:58] <Mr_Wilt> He stops. His blood runs cold.
  185. [2011-12-10 15:32:15] <Scantron> "I always knew I'd die screaming."
  186. [2011-12-10 15:33:16] <Wombat> "Did you hear me?"
  187. [2011-12-10 15:33:35] <Wombat> The shape is looking straight down Katrin's revolver barrel. It just might be able to see the tip of the bullet.
  188. [2011-12-10 15:33:36] <NullAshton> Dmitri says to the thing, "How did you die?"
  189. [2011-12-10 15:33:59] <Scantron> "Who's- who's pointing the gun at me?" The noise is still coming from the dark shape.
  190. [2011-12-10 15:34:11] <Mr_Wilt> "He died... when..."
  191. [2011-12-10 15:34:32] <Wombat> "The woman who will kill your ass if you don't give back my friend."
  192. [2011-12-10 15:34:44] <NullAshton> "Not you. Talking to that voice. If that's really him."
  193. [2011-12-10 15:34:52] <Sequence> "Please, stop, all of you!"
  194. [2011-12-10 15:35:05] <Daedalize> "Do not shoot it! It has taken Eva, if ve kill it, ve may never retrieve her!"
  195. [2011-12-10 15:35:08] <Scantron> "I didn't mean to do that. And please, it's a sauna in here. Get me some ice or something."
  196. [2011-12-10 15:35:27] <Sequence> "Vander, can you hear me? Can anyone?"
  197. [2011-12-10 15:35:32] <Fifthman> "Can you come with us?"
  198. [2011-12-10 15:36:10] <Scantron> "...I can't come with you. But watch out for Green. He's a bit of a nutter."
  199. [2011-12-10 15:36:11] <Fifthman> "Do you know what the light is off in the distance?" Cecil points toward the unknown source of light.
  200. [2011-12-10 15:36:34] <Sequence> "Nobody can hear me?"
  201. [2011-12-10 15:36:36] <Scantron> "That? I've never been."
  202. [2011-12-10 15:36:38] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan inhales sharply.
  203. [2011-12-10 15:36:49] <Scantron> To Eva: "No, sorry."
  204. [2011-12-10 15:36:56] <Mr_Wilt> "Did... you just say Green?"
  205. [2011-12-10 15:37:08] <Sequence> "Vander! You heard me!"
  206. [2011-12-10 15:37:24] <Wombat> "We want Eva back."
  207. [2011-12-10 15:37:28] <Scantron> "Yeah, he's here. Keep yelling about his legs."
  208. [2011-12-10 15:37:30] <Wombat> "/NOW/"
  209. [2011-12-10 15:37:41] <Scantron> "I don't have her. She's still here, though."
  210. [2011-12-10 15:37:48] <Sequence> "Vander, please, tell them I'm here, oh god, you can hear me, I was so afraid-"
  211. [2011-12-10 15:38:03] <Scantron> Eva will find that, though she can't interact with her teammates, she can interact with the ground and the surroundings.
  212. [2011-12-10 15:38:19] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan takes a few steps back. He tries to find leverage on one of the trees.
  213. [2011-12-10 15:38:25] <Sequence> "Oh, oh, I'm free again, I can move, oh god, oh thank god..."
  214. [2011-12-10 15:38:42] <Daedalize> Sigrun is dead quiet.
  215. [2011-12-10 15:38:42] <Wombat> "Where the hell did you send her."
  216. [2011-12-10 15:38:49] <Scantron> "She's right here."
  217. [2011-12-10 15:39:04] <Sequence> Eva rushes over to Nolan and tries to pat his face.
  218. [2011-12-10 15:39:09] <Sequence> She just passes through him.
  219. [2011-12-10 15:39:28] <Mr_Wilt> "Fuck. *Fuck*."
  220. [2011-12-10 15:39:44] <Wombat> "I can't see her. And I can't here her. So to me it looks like you took her."
  221. [2011-12-10 15:39:59] <Wombat> "And this nice revolver has a hair trigger."
  222. [2011-12-10 15:39:59] <NullAshton> "I repeat, again. How did you die.
  223. [2011-12-10 15:40:13] <Scantron> "Say hi to Ryan and... what's his name. The batman guy."
  224. [2011-12-10 15:40:14] <Fifthman> "If he did, I don't think he meant to. Our best chance is to keep going forward."
  225. [2011-12-10 15:40:23] <Scantron> "If you see them."
  226. [2011-12-10 15:41:02] =-= Salmander is now known as Salmander|Away
  227. [2011-12-10 15:41:07] <Sequence> "Vander, please, tell Nolan I'm next to him, please."
  228. [2011-12-10 15:41:26] <Scantron> "Eva's right next to you, by the way, Nolan."
  229. [2011-12-10 15:41:41] <Sequence> "Oh, thank god, thank you Vander, thank you, oh god."
  230. [2011-12-10 15:41:51] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan's trying his best not to hyperventilate. "Thanks."
  231. [2011-12-10 15:41:56] <Wombat> Katrin turns her head, looking next to Nolan.
  232. [2011-12-10 15:42:03] <Sequence> Eva brushes her hand over his face.
  233. [2011-12-10 15:42:06] <Scantron> To Eva: "Sorry, I'm not sure what happened. I don't normally get visitors."
  234. [2011-12-10 15:42:20] <Sequence> Can the others hear him talk to Eva?
  235. [2011-12-10 15:42:26] <Scantron> Nope.
  236. [2011-12-10 15:42:38] <Wombat> "I think you're lying, mister bear thing."
  237. [2011-12-10 15:42:40] <Sequence> "Do you- do you know where we are?"
  238. [2011-12-10 15:42:51] <Wombat> "'Cause I sure as hell don't see her there."
  239. [2011-12-10 15:43:17] <NullAshton> Dmitri puts the revolver down. Knows enough, at least. And hasn't made any threatening moves. He then keeps his eyes out for some other figure, Green, who Vander said was around.
  240. [2011-12-10 15:43:19] <Scantron> "I'm not sure. But sometimes I see a women in the light spot in the distance, crying a bit."
  241. [2011-12-10 15:43:42] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan clenches his jaw, gripping Ryan's rifle as hard as he can.
  242. [2011-12-10 15:43:48] <Sequence> Saying that to Eva, yes?
  243. [2011-12-10 15:44:07] <Scantron> No, to the group in general. Things only Eva can hear will be prefixed with 'To Eva:'
  244. [2011-12-10 15:44:08] <Wombat> "Last chance to give her back."
  245. [2011-12-10 15:44:22] <Wombat> "And I mean it."
  246. [2011-12-10 15:44:25] <Fifthman> Cecil turns to Katrin. "I don't think he can. There's no point."
  247. [2011-12-10 15:44:25] <Scantron> "Shooting me won't help. I'm not sure bullets would do a whole lot."
  248. [2011-12-10 15:44:34] <Sequence> "Katrin, he doesn't have me."
  249. [2011-12-10 15:44:39] <Daedalize> "Katrin, if ve attack it, how exactly vould ve zen retrieve Eva?"
  250. [2011-12-10 15:44:43] <Scantron> "I would if I could. But if it helps, she's still here."
  251. [2011-12-10 15:44:58] <Sequence> "And I'm right in front of you. But you can't hear me."
  252. [2011-12-10 15:45:07] <Wombat> "It won't give her back, and I think it's lying when it says she is. So how exactly are we supposed to retrieve her anyway? Maybe killing it will bring her back."
  253. [2011-12-10 15:45:18] <Fifthman> Cecil nods.
  254. [2011-12-10 15:45:24] <Fifthman> "Wait."
  255. [2011-12-10 15:45:25] <Sequence> Eva tries to push one of the tree branches.
  256. [2011-12-10 15:45:43] <Scantron> It yields to her touch as expected.
  257. [2011-12-10 15:45:51] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan slumps to the ground.
  258. [2011-12-10 15:46:00] <Scantron> "There she is. By that tree."
  259. [2011-12-10 15:46:00] <Sequence> So does it move?
  260. [2011-12-10 15:46:03] <Daedalize> "And if it iz lying, and zerefore does know vere she iz, zen killing it removes our only source of information."
  261. [2011-12-10 15:46:12] <Sequence> Eva shakes that damn branch for all she's worth.
  262. [2011-12-10 15:46:12] <Scantron> Yes, visibly and audibly.
  263. [2011-12-10 15:46:21] <Scantron> The whole group notices that branch moving.
  264. [2011-12-10 15:46:42] <Fifthman> "Eva, is that you shaking the branch? If it is, stop, then shake the branch three times."
  265. [2011-12-10 15:46:45] <Wombat> Katrin spins around, gun pointing directly at the branch.
  266. [2011-12-10 15:46:46] <Scantron> To Eva: "They should be able to see that."
  267. [2011-12-10 15:47:01] <NullAshton> Dmitri glances at the moving branch.
  268. [2011-12-10 15:47:01] <Sequence> Eva mutters something rude about Cecil's heritage, and then shakes the branch tree times.
  269. [2011-12-10 15:47:04] <Daedalize> Sigrun looks at the branch, then glances around. Is there dirt on the ground?
  270. [2011-12-10 15:47:13] <Scantron> No dirt, just concrete.
  271. [2011-12-10 15:47:27] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan's too busy freaking out to note the branch.
  272. [2011-12-10 15:47:33] <Wombat> "Are you hurt? One for yes, two for no."
  273. [2011-12-10 15:47:41] <Sequence> Eva shakes the branch twice.
  274. [2011-12-10 15:47:47] <Sequence> And then kicks the tree.
  275. [2011-12-10 15:47:51] <Daedalize> "Does anyone haff somezing she could write with on ze concrete? A pencil, perhaps?"
  276. [2011-12-10 15:48:11] <Fifthman> "The knife. Katrin, you still have that knife, right?"
  277. [2011-12-10 15:48:15] <Scantron> "See, I told you. And unless you have some ice or something, I'm going to leave now."
  278. [2011-12-10 15:48:20] <Sequence> Can Eva break off a twig or something to throw at Nolan?
  279. [2011-12-10 15:48:25] <Sequence> "Thank you, Vander."
  280. [2011-12-10 15:48:26] <Scantron> Yep.
  281. [2011-12-10 15:48:30] <Wombat> "I've got the knife."
  282. [2011-12-10 15:48:35] <NullAshton> Dmitri rips out some blank paper, sets the paper on the ground with a pen.
  283. [2011-12-10 15:48:38] <Sequence> Eva throws that twig right onto Nolan.
  284. [2011-12-10 15:48:46] <Scantron> To Eva: "You're welcome. Sorry." The dark shape moves off into the shadows.
  285. [2011-12-10 15:48:48] <NullAshton> Dmitri then steps back from the paper and pen.
  286. [2011-12-10 15:49:04] <Sequence> Eva tries to pick up the pen. Does it work?
  287. [2011-12-10 15:49:09] <Scantron> Nope.
  288. [2011-12-10 15:49:16] <Sequence> Eva throws a twig at that shit.
  289. [2011-12-10 15:49:37] <Scantron> The twig hits the pen, which moves a bit.
  290. [2011-12-10 15:49:42] <Fifthman> Cecil watches the pen shift.
  291. [2011-12-10 15:49:52] <Wombat> Katrin puts the knife she found on the ground.
  292. [2011-12-10 15:49:52] <NullAshton> "...no, pick up the pen, don't throw stuff at it."
  293. [2011-12-10 15:50:04] <Sequence> Fuck you, Dmitri, she tried.
  294. [2011-12-10 15:50:07] <Daedalize> "Ze pen does not work, zen? Could you bring a branch along, to signal yes or no? Up for yes, down for no."
  295. [2011-12-10 15:50:08] <Sequence> A twig for you, assface.
  296. [2011-12-10 15:50:18] <Scantron> Dmitri is hit with a twig.
  297. [2011-12-10 15:50:28] <Daedalize> Sigrun is strangely reminded of Heart, for some reason.
  298. [2011-12-10 15:50:32] <Wombat> "Eva, try the knife. It's from here."
  299. [2011-12-10 15:50:40] <Sequence> Eva tries to pick up the knife.
  300. [2011-12-10 15:50:43] <NullAshton> Dmitri sighs as the twig hits him. "Well if you want to be an ass about it, okay." He picks back up the paper and pen.
  301. [2011-12-10 15:50:48] <Scantron> Success!
  302. [2011-12-10 15:51:02] <Scantron> The knife is seen to float in midair.
  303. [2011-12-10 15:51:06] <Sequence> Eva waves that knife around. Fuck yes! "Yes! Yes!"
  304. [2011-12-10 15:51:19] <Daedalize> "Ah. So only items of zis world, she can manipulate."
  305. [2011-12-10 15:51:21] <Wombat> "Watch it!"
  306. [2011-12-10 15:51:23] <Fifthman> "Now that's cool." Cecil backs away from the very excited knife.
  307. [2011-12-10 15:51:28] <Wombat> Katrin jumps back to avoid being slashed.
  308. [2011-12-10 15:51:30] <Sequence> Eva tries scratching her name into the cement.
  309. [2011-12-10 15:51:36] <NullAshton> Dmtiri quickly backs away, pointing his gun at the knife when it's waving around.
  310. [2011-12-10 15:51:44] <Scantron> Success! It takes a while, though.
  311. [2011-12-10 15:51:55] <Scantron> Not nearly fast enough for communication.
  312. [2011-12-10 15:52:04] <Wombat> "Okay, we need a better system here."
  313. [2011-12-10 15:52:26] <Sequence> Eva curses and throws the knife at the tree. Fucking hell, she can't talk, can't be seen, and she can't even communicate? God fucking /dammit/.
  314. [2011-12-10 15:52:44] <Scantron> The light in the distance twinkles a bit.
  315. [2011-12-10 15:53:19] <Wombat> "Can we tap morse here?"
  316. [2011-12-10 15:53:22] <NullAshton> Dmitri shoots his gun reflexively when the knife is thrown.
  317. [2011-12-10 15:53:23] <Wombat> "Anyoen know morse?
  318. [2011-12-10 15:53:34] <Fifthman> Cecil makes his way around the knife. He knocks on the ground. [[Would she know Morse?]]
  319. [2011-12-10 15:53:41] <Fifthman> 6df+8 attempting morse
  320. [2011-12-10 15:53:42] <Glacon> Fifthman: attempting morse: 8 (6df+8=4-, 0, 0, 3+, 4-, 3+)
  321. [2011-12-10 15:53:46] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan flails as the twig hits him. "Ow, what the fuck?"
  322. [2011-12-10 15:53:55] <Sequence> She retrieves the knife. She doesn't know Morse code. Eva learned it back in middle school, why the fuck would she remember now?
  323. [2011-12-10 15:53:58] <Scantron> Eva will need to roll Academics to understand it.
  324. [2011-12-10 15:54:02] <Sequence> 6df+4 idefk
  325. [2011-12-10 15:54:04] <Glacon> Sequence: idefk: 4 (6df+4=0, 0, 4-, 3+, 3+, 4-)
  326. [2011-12-10 15:54:11] <Scantron> No dice.
  327. [2011-12-10 15:54:30] <Wombat> "Okay. Let's do a simpler system."
  328. [2011-12-10 15:54:43] <Scantron> Cecil does manage to type out the message he wants, though. Not that anyone can understand it.
  329. [2011-12-10 15:54:58] <Wombat> "We have our intermediary here in the form of a knife. Now we need something she can carve messages in.
  330. [2011-12-10 15:55:09] <Wombat> Katrin pulls out her long knife. Can she strip the bark off a tree?
  331. [2011-12-10 15:55:17] <Sequence> Eva tries to carve "NO SHIT" in the tree.
  332. [2011-12-10 15:55:32] <Scantron> She manages to do so, but it takes a while.
  333. [2011-12-10 15:55:42] <NullAshton> "Lets just move on, okay? She's alive."
  334. [2011-12-10 15:55:42] <Wombat> Katrin tosses the bark down onto the ground.
  335. [2011-12-10 15:55:50] <Daedalize> "Ze up and down vill work for yes and no. Anything further, ve vill require ready carving materials."
  336. [2011-12-10 15:55:57] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan pulls himself together. Okay, it's okay. Green's not here. He's not real. It's cool.
  337. [2011-12-10 15:56:05] <Mr_Wilt> He pushes himself up off the ground.
  338. [2011-12-10 15:56:18] <Wombat> "Now then. We're going to head for the light, see if we can finish this thing up and see if you'll come back. You should tag along. Is that okay?"

  340. [2011-12-10 15:56:32] <Fifthman> Cecil sighs. The bark will have to do.
  341. [2011-12-10 15:57:30] <Fifthman> Cecil makes his way forward to the front of the group, keeping a very wary eye out for traps. He goes forward.
  342. [2011-12-10 15:57:47] <Mr_Wilt> "Stop hitting me."
  343. [2011-12-10 15:58:09] <Sequence> Eva follows, knife in hand.

  345. [2011-12-10 15:59:21] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan also follows after, still a little visibly shaken.

  351. [2011-12-10 16:00:12] <Scantron> Nolan's upper arm is hit by a knife pretty similar to the one that almost hit Katrin. It too appears to be attache to a rope apparatus.

  353. [2011-12-10 16:00:43] <Scantron> Funny, it wasn't there when Katrin, Eva, or Cecil went through.
  354. [2011-12-10 16:00:44] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan winces. "God /dammit/!" He pulls it out of his arm and throws it to the ground.
  355. [2011-12-10 16:01:40] <NullAshton> Dmitr tries finding a large branch, the nwalks after the other triggering the rope traps by using the branch on the ground in front of him.
  356. [2011-12-10 16:01:40] <Sequence> Eva stands by Nolan, feeling useless.
  357. [2011-12-10 16:01:53] <Scantron> Dmitri finds no rope traps.
  358. [2011-12-10 16:02:27] <Fifthman> Cecil follows the new rope trap's source.
  359. [2011-12-10 16:02:37] <Scantron> It's tied to a few trees.
  360. [2011-12-10 16:02:46] <NullAshton> Dmitri does it anyway. Dammit, there's going to be more, he just knows it.

  510. [2011-12-10 16:38:23] <Mr_Wilt> He can't deal.
  511. [2011-12-10 16:38:50] <Daedalize> Sigrun pauses.
  512. [2011-12-10 16:39:07] <Mr_Wilt> "Look, this place is bullshit enough as it is. I don't need you around to remind me that I couldn't save your ass."
  513. [2011-12-10 16:39:28] <Fifthman> Cecil spoke up. "Stoat seemed happy last night. We had a dance party and everything."
  514. [2011-12-10 16:39:30] <Daedalize> "Stoat... iz not here. Where iz she?"

  517. [2011-12-10 16:40:31] <NullAshton> Dmitri takes bets on when exactly Nolan's mind will just completely snap.... mentally, that is.
  518. [2011-12-10 16:41:10] <Fifthman> Cecil raises an eyebrow. "I think you all died before I got assigned to the pool. I wouldn't know."
  519. [2011-12-10 16:41:33] <Mr_Wilt> "Shutupshutupshutupshutup." Nolan walks a little faster.

  521. [2011-12-10 16:41:40] <Scantron> "He keeps yelling something about you, Nolan. Any idea what?"

  523. [2011-12-10 16:41:54] <Mr_Wilt> "Shutupshutupshutupshutup."
  524. [2011-12-10 16:42:19] <Sequence> "He used to be at 354, transferred out before you came."

  526. [2011-12-10 16:42:25] <Scantron> David appears alongside Nolan. "Nolan, I'm not letting you do this."
  527. [2011-12-10 16:42:37] <Scantron> They're about a hundred yards from the light.
  528. [2011-12-10 16:42:46] <Wombat> Katrin continues on.
  529. [2011-12-10 16:42:47] <Scantron> But the trees are thicker up ahead.
  530. [2011-12-10 16:42:51] <Sequence> "David, what's wrong with Green?"
  531. [2011-12-10 16:43:02] <Wombat> Katrin cares not about trees.
  532. [2011-12-10 16:43:04] <Mr_Wilt> "Shut up."
  533. [2011-12-10 16:43:29] <Scantron> David appears directly in front of Nolan. "No. You are going to tell me what's going on."
  534. [2011-12-10 16:43:37] <Scantron> He grabs Nolan by the shoulders.

  572. [2011-12-10 16:50:41] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan glares.

  584. [2011-12-10 16:53:25] <Scantron> "Well, do you think she wants to hear it from you, or do you think she wants to hear it from him? Because I met him."
  585. [2011-12-10 16:53:30] <Scantron> "You do not want to talk to him."
  586. [2011-12-10 16:53:48] <Fifthman> Cecil sits on a stump nearby the floating knife, listening curiously. He's learned a lot about his team from the other two apparitions, so why move onward when there's so much to learn?

  604. [2011-12-10 16:56:34] <Scantron> "Why?"

  606. [2011-12-10 16:57:16] <Mr_Wilt> "Because I dropped him, when Eva fell. He lost all feeling in his legs."

  643. [2011-12-10 17:05:13] <NullAshton> Dmitri rolls his eyes. "Yes. We figured that out after the second figure. Or at least I did. And maybe her," she points to Sigrun. Doesn't know her name. derp

  687. [2011-12-10 17:12:34] <Scantron> The shot goes through the figure. It laughs.
  688. [2011-12-10 17:12:41] <Daedalize> Sigrun approaches Green from behind, gun lowered. "Not transferred. Demotion or death vere more likely. But which?"
  689. [2011-12-10 17:12:45] <Wombat> Katrin unleashes all hell, her shotgun firing twelve inch and a half flechettes.
  690. [2011-12-10 17:13:06] <Scantron> The concrete ground in front of the figure gets busted up.
  691. [2011-12-10 17:13:17] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan takes a few more steps toward the figure.
  692. [2011-12-10 17:13:19] <Mr_Wilt> "That you?"
  693. [2011-12-10 17:13:46] <Fifthman> Cecil stands and holsters his revolver. No sense wasting bullets on a guy that can't get hurt by them.
  694. [2011-12-10 17:14:07] <Scantron> "I ain't gonna say what they did with me. But..." It rubs the back of its neck a bit. "Y'know how the d-class get to test all the shit around here?"
  695. [2011-12-10 17:14:21] <Wombat> Katrin sighs, and cuts herself down.
  696. [2011-12-10 17:14:52] <Scantron> "It's like that." It laughs. "They don't know what most've this shit does. The result... is this guy." The figure points to itself.
  697. [2011-12-10 17:16:01] <ShadesO`Gray> David tries to keep himself between Nolan and...it, "You Don't belong here Soldier," he says to Green.
  698. [2011-12-10 17:16:02] <NullAshton> Dmitri quickly brings up his pistol when Katrin raises hers. On seeing the ground around the figure just explode into smoke, he lowers the pistol again. Well damn.

  727. [2011-12-10 17:22:45] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan shakes his head. He drops it, and kicks it over to him.
