  1. (3:23:11 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Cause it's theee eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fightttt..."
  2. (3:24:00 PM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan bops along the path to the latrines, teeth chattering in time to the beat.
  3. (3:24:45 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Rising upppp to the challenge of our riiiiiival..."
  4. (3:25:52 PM) Sleeping_Wilt left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
  5. (3:26:40 PM) ShockwaveLover: "And the last kno-"
  6. (3:27:17 PM) ShockwaveLover: He cuts off mid-lyric, as he walks by the large thermometer some joker nailed to a pole in the centre of camp.
  7. (3:28:08 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Fuck me rigid. -/38/?!"
  8. (3:28:40 PM) Proto_Lost: Simon is sitting inside his prefab, feeling the immense weight of crushing boredom upon him yet again.
  9. (3:30:03 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Canada, why do you taunt me so?"
  10. (3:30:13 PM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan asks no-one in particular.
  11. (3:32:09 PM) ShockwaveLover: Shaking his head, the slowly freezing security guard continues on his lonely way, pulling his jacket tighter to try and combat the penetrating chill.
  12. (3:33:29 PM) ShockwaveLover: The trek is rudely interrupted, however by the sound of hammering, ringing clear as a bell across the still night air of the base.
  13. (3:34:36 PM) ShockwaveLover: ~Who the /fuck/ is doing DIY at this time of night?~
  14. (3:35:37 PM) Proto_Lost: Might Simon hear said hammering and nail pounding?
  15. (3:35:48 PM) Faminepulse left the room (quit: Quit: Faminepulse).
  16. (3:36:09 PM) ShockwaveLover: Everyone can hear it. Whoever it is, they're putting some effort behind those swings.
  17. (3:37:16 PM) ShockwaveLover: "YEEEEEEOW!"
  18. (3:37:19 PM) Proto_Lost: Simon decides that whoever's hitting shit outside should go suck a spiked dick in hell, and suits up for the cold to tell him so.
  19. (3:37:42 PM) ShockwaveLover: Aaaaand it looks like that effort has just ended up somewhere it shouldn't.
  20. (3:37:53 PM) ShockwaveLover: (Sounds like, rather.)
  21. (3:38:21 PM) ShockwaveLover: 6df+4 With all the echoes, it's hard to tell which direction it's coming from
  22. (3:38:22 PM) Glacon: ShockwaveLover: With all the echoes, it's hard to tell which direction it's coming from: 3 (6df+4=-, 0, -, +, 0, 0)
  23. (3:38:50 PM) Alivi_ [~Alivi@synIRC-699B3774.carolina.res.rr.com] entered the room.
  24. (3:38:50 PM) Alivi left the room (quit: Connection reset by peer).
  25. (3:38:51 PM) Alivi_ is now known as Alivi
  26. (3:38:53 PM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan cocks an ear, but can't quite pinpoint it.
  27. (3:39:52 PM) ShockwaveLover: A stifled stream of invective flows.
  28. (3:40:05 PM) thedeadlymoose [~chatzilla@synIRC-9A90A58A.dhcp.lnbh.ca.charter.com] entered the room.
  29. (3:40:41 PM) Proto_Lost: 6df+6 Once he's outside, Simon tries to find out where said hammering is coming from.
  30. (3:40:42 PM) Glacon: Proto_Lost: Once he's outside, Simon tries to find out where said hammering is coming from.: 5 (6df+6=+, 0, -, -, +, -)
  31. (3:42:06 PM) ShockwaveLover: Kinda hard to pin down, but definitely coming from the vicinity of the Mess Hall.
  32. (3:43:42 PM) Proto_Lost: With cane in hand, he heads off to the Mess Hall with quite a few colorful words of his own for whoever's doing Home Makeover over there.
  33. (3:47:22 PM) ShockwaveLover: There's nobody immediately in evidence, and the swearing seems to have stopped.
  34. (3:47:38 PM) ShockwaveLover: There are, however, plenty of tracks.
  35. (3:47:56 PM) Positronium: Everett gets off of his bed. ~Why? Why this late?~ He rubs his eyes, grabs his cold weather gear, and leaves his prefab.
  36. (3:48:23 PM) ShockwaveLover: And a confused mess hall staff member poking her head out of the tent.
  37. (3:49:42 PM) Positronium: 6df+5 Everett looks tries to find where that racket is coming from!
  38. (3:49:42 PM) Glacon: Positronium: Everett looks tries to find where that racket is coming from!: 7 (6df+5=+, 0, +, 0, 0, 0)
  39. (3:50:46 PM) ShockwaveLover: The racket's coming from the north of you, Everett. Sounds like Mess Hall territory.
  40. (3:50:47 PM) Proto_Lost: Simon might as well ask this dame to see if she knows who's behind it. "Excuse me ma'am, do you know of any workers banging shit about in there?"
  41. (3:51:08 PM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan, for his part, shrugs and keeps walking. He's got to take a piss rather badly.
  42. (3:51:35 PM) Positronium: Everett sighs as he starts jogging in that direction.
  43. (3:51:55 PM) ShockwaveLover: "I was just going to ask you the same question."
  44. (3:53:55 PM) Proto_Lost: "...Oh, in that case, I suppose I'll just keep looking then."
  45. (3:56:13 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Whoever it was, sounded like they were round the back." She points to a prefab further down. "And managed to whack their thumb, if that scream was anything to go by."
  46. (3:56:19 PM) Positronium: Everett arrives?
  47. (3:57:26 PM) Proto_Lost: "I figured as much, though I'd have given him a good cane drubbing if he didn't quit it." Simon limps off to the indicated prefab, leaving the staff member for now.
  48. (3:58:35 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Tell him if he feels he needs to hammer stuff, there's a few things loose in here he could work on."
  49. (3:58:57 PM) ShockwaveLover: The waitress heads back into the tent.
  50. (3:59:24 PM) ShockwaveLover: Everett arrives at the tail end of this discussion.
  51. (4:02:23 PM) Positronium: "Who the hell is making that noise?"
  52. (4:12:55 PM) Gara left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
  53. (4:12:55 PM) Proto_Lost: Simon arrives at the prefab, and decides to survey his surroundings for clues

  55. (4:13:17 PM) Glacon: Proto_Lost: Detective Simon: 0 (6df+6=-, -, -, -, -, -)
  56. (4:13:44 PM) ShockwaveLover: Simon briefly forgets his own name.
  57. (4:14:28 PM) Proto_Lost: Thankfully, Simon doesn't think about his name often, so he's not that affected...he does decide to sit down for a bit.
  58. (4:14:31 PM) ShockwaveLover: However, the sound of Everett's voice refreshes his memory.
  59. (4:15:05 PM) Proto_Lost: "Wha? Who's there?"
  60. (4:16:02 PM) Positronium: "Everett. Who's making that noise?"
  61. (4:17:43 PM) Proto_Lost: "If I knew, he'd be apologizing for keeping me up...I've never seen you before though."
  62. (4:19:35 PM) Jekeled left the room (quit: Ping timeout).
  63. (4:20:02 PM) Positronium: "I'm a physicist and an insomniac." He frowns.
  64. (4:20:02 PM) Gara [Mibbit@B07FB96F.6AB238EE.B75EF2FD.IP] entered the room.
  65. (4:21:39 PM) Proto_Lost: "A labcoat huh...after this place got royally fucked, I thought they'd send more soldiers."
  66. (4:23:55 PM) Positronium: "I can see that. I came here to study the pool, and guess what happened almost immediately after I arrived? The pool froze." Everett rubs his eyes.
  67. (4:25:29 PM) Proto_Lost: "It did? Must be why this place isn't just some more rubble around here."
  68. (4:28:44 PM) Gara left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
  69. (4:29:04 PM) Gara [Mibbit@B07FB96F.6AB238EE.B75EF2FD.IP] entered the room.
  70. (4:30:54 PM) Positronium: "Yeah. At least it happened at a good time. Our supply situation isn't stellar, and we're undermanned. If something big happened now, I don't know how it would turn out."
  71. (4:31:57 PM) ShockwaveLover: 6df+6 Clean getaway
  72. (4:31:57 PM) Glacon: ShockwaveLover: Clean getaway: 6 (6df+6=+, -, 0, +, 0, -)
  73. (4:32:07 PM) Alivi left the room (quit: Quit: zzzzz).
  74. (4:33:26 PM) Proto_Lost: "We'd get turned into fucking paste, that's what, and we'd go down in history as either the valiant heroes who stood protecting the world from the Pool to their last breath,or incompetent idiots who shouldn't have been here."
  75. (4:33:42 PM) Proto_Lost: "Whichever lets the directors sleep at night."
  76. (4:34:34 PM) ShockwaveLover: The sound of footsteps, carefully placed in the snow, may be audible. Perception roll.
  77. (4:34:58 PM) Positronium: 6df+5 Ears of a Science!Hawk

  82. (4:37:25 PM) Glacon: Proto_Lost: Simon Sleuth: 5 (6df+6=+, -, -, 0, 0, 0)
  83. (4:38:26 PM) ShockwaveLover: A shadow steals away into the night, clutching an injured thumb and thanking their lucky stars.
  84. (4:39:55 PM) ShockwaveLover: In another universe, Chief Inspector Cotterell feels a sudden rush of disappointment while sitting at his desk, and doesn't know why.
  85. (4:40:10 PM) ShockwaveLover: He'll feel ashamed all day.
  86. (4:41:05 PM) ShockwaveLover: At Area-354 however, nothing further stirs near the two talking men.
  87. (4:41:13 PM) Lurker is now known as Lurk_Sleeps
  88. (4:42:40 PM) Proto_Lost: "...Well, guess I'll have to settle for him not being able to use that thumb for while. I'm going to bed."
  89. (4:43:23 PM) Positronium: "Goodnight." Everett yawns and starts walking toward his own prefab.
  90. (4:44:10 PM) Gara left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
  91. (4:44:23 PM) Gara [Mibbit@B07FB96F.6AB238EE.B75EF2FD.IP] entered the room.
  92. (4:45:18 PM) Proto_Lost: Simon limps off to his prefab, lamenting the lack of a perpetrator to beat up, and the lack of hard liqour anywhere on this goddamn site.
  93. (4:49:36 PM) Positronium: Everett walks into his prefab, and removing his coa- "Damn it!" He starts zipping up his coat again, puts on his hat, and walks out into the frigid night.
  94. (4:51:13 PM) Proto_Lost: Simon's made it a good few feet with his limp.
  95. (4:51:16 PM) Positronium: He shivers once before he begins to jog back to the mess area.
  96. (4:55:02 PM) Positronium: Upon arrival, Everett starts to look for the hammered item.
  97. (4:55:23 PM) Mantron is now known as Scansleeps
  98. (4:56:00 PM) Proto_Lost: Simon heard the footsteps, and limps right the fuck back to where he was in case the guy returned to the scene of the crime...wherever that is.
  99. (4:57:08 PM) ShockwaveLover: Simon, there's a suspicious silhouette in that area.
  100. (4:57:31 PM) Proto_Lost: "Motherfucker..." He whispers under his breath.
  101. (4:57:34 PM) ShockwaveLover: Could this be your mystery hammer-er?
  102. (4:57:50 PM) ShockwaveLover: Looks like he's moving!
  103. (4:57:56 PM) ShockwaveLover: Is he trying to get away?
  104. (4:58:02 PM) Proto_Lost: He fucking bets it is. Roll Melee for tackle?
  105. (4:58:56 PM) Positronium: Does he notice/recognize Simon?
  106. (5:00:10 PM) ShockwaveLover: There's no sign of Simon where you're looking, Everett. However, there does look to be some disturbed snow a little further ahead.
  107. (5:00:16 PM) ShockwaveLover: And yes, melee for tackle.
  108. (5:00:20 PM) Proto_Lost: 6df+6 Eat shit hammer boy!
  109. (5:00:20 PM) Glacon: Proto_Lost: Eat shit hammer boy!: 7 (6df+6=0, -, +, 0, 0, +)
  110. (5:00:49 PM) Positronium: Everett walks forward to investigate the snow.
  111. (5:01:23 PM) ShockwaveLover: Agility or PDef, Everett!
  112. (5:01:44 PM) ShockwaveLover: You're under attack!
  113. (5:01:46 PM) Positronium: 6df+6 WaitWhatWHY?!
  114. (5:01:47 PM) Glacon: Positronium: WaitWhatWHY?!: 7 (6df+6=+, +, -, -, +, 0)
  115. (5:01:55 PM) Positronium: (Agility)
  116. (5:02:40 PM) ShockwaveLover: Your assailant sails past, landing heavily in the snow.
  117. (5:02:53 PM) Proto_Lost: "FUCK!"
  118. (5:03:05 PM) ShockwaveLover: Looks like the hammer-er wants you shut dow-
  119. (5:03:08 PM) ShockwaveLover: Hang on.
  120. (5:03:11 PM) Positronium: Everett whirls to face his attacker.
  121. (5:03:13 PM) ShockwaveLover: That voice sounds familiar.
  122. (5:03:30 PM) Positronium: "What the hell was that for?!"
  123. (5:04:11 PM) Proto_Lost: "GODJESUS STAND FUCKING STILL YOU PIECE OF- Oh, it's you." Simon heaves himself up from out of the snow, feeling extra sore now.
  124. (5:04:28 PM) ShockwaveLover: Now the snow is really disturbed.
  125. (5:05:00 PM) ShockwaveLover: Simon's slide having carried him directly through the patch Everett was heading for.
  126. (5:05:30 PM) Positronium: "Could you move? I thought I saw something there."
  127. (5:06:53 PM) Proto_Lost: "Motherfuck...yeah I guess." He stands up, brushing snow off of his clothes, and stands aside.
  128. (5:07:18 PM) ShockwaveLover: 6df Sneaky sneaky
  129. (5:07:19 PM) Glacon: ShockwaveLover: Sneaky sneaky: 1 (6df=0, +, 0, +, -, 0)
  130. (5:08:07 PM) ShockwaveLover: The sound of someone trying (and largely failing) to creep quietly may be audible to the pair.
  131. (5:08:25 PM) Proto_Lost: Simon looks at Everett to see if he heard it.
  132. (5:08:44 PM) ShockwaveLover: They would have to roll perception to hear it.
  133. (5:09:07 PM) Proto_Lost: Redact then
  134. (5:09:13 PM) Proto_Lost: 6df+6 and roll
  135. (5:09:14 PM) Glacon: Proto_Lost: and roll: 8 (6df+6=0, 0, 0, 0, +, +)

  137. (5:09:17 PM) Glacon: Positronium: That noise... no. No! NO! IT'S HIM! THE HAMMERER!: 5 (6df+5=+, -, +, 0, -, 0)
  138. (5:10:18 PM) ShockwaveLover: Their hearing doesn't fail them. There's definitely someone there.
  139. (5:11:14 PM) Positronium: Everett creeps toward the source of the noise.
  140. (5:11:46 PM) ShockwaveLover: Everett is looking in the direction of the noise?
  141. (5:12:00 PM) Proto_Lost: Simon follows after him, not bothering with stealth as this is probably just some peon.
  142. (5:12:07 PM) Positronium: Does he know the direction of the noise?
  143. (5:12:34 PM) ShockwaveLover: If he heard it, then yes.
  144. (5:13:08 PM) Positronium: He is looking in that direction as he creeps.
  145. (5:13:19 PM) ShockwaveLover: Perception then.
  146. (5:14:19 PM) Positronium: 6df+5 I am sick and tired of being sick and tired!
  147. (5:15:06 PM) Positronium: 6df+5 I am sick and tired of being sick and tired
  148. (5:15:26 PM) Positronium: 6df+5

  155. (5:18:06 PM) Gara [Mibbit@B07FB96F.6AB238EE.B75EF2FD.IP] entered the room.
  156. (5:18:21 PM) ShockwaveLover: Everett's eyes are assaulted by a blinding glare, and the world goes white.
  157. (5:18:46 PM) Positronium: "GAH!"
  158. (5:18:52 PM) ShockwaveLover: "What the-"
  159. (5:19:11 PM) ShockwaveLover: There's a click, and the glare disappears.
  160. (5:19:23 PM) ShockwaveLover: The white doesn't, though.
  161. (5:20:16 PM) Positronium: Everett rubs his eyes. ~Worst. Night. Ever. Well, second worst.~
  162. (5:20:32 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Shit, what the hell are you guys doing out here?"
  163. (5:20:39 PM) ShockwaveLover: An Australian accent carries clearly.
  164. (5:20:45 PM) Proto_Lost: Is Simon blinded?
  165. (5:20:55 PM) ShockwaveLover: Nope. The light was directed at Everett.
  166. (5:21:01 PM) Positronium: "That infernal noise... What the hell was that hammering?"
  167. (5:21:14 PM) Proto_Lost: "Duncan? Is that you?"
  168. (5:21:46 PM) ShockwaveLover: "OF course it's me. Who the hell else would be stuck out here on a night like this? Well, aside from you two jokers."
  169. (5:22:09 PM) ShockwaveLover: He crosses his arms. "Care to explain what's going on?"
  170. (5:22:57 PM) Proto_Lost: "I've been trying to sleuth out who that fucker doing the hammering was."
  171. (5:23:09 PM) ShockwaveLover: "So it's not you two?"
  172. (5:23:50 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Then what was with all the swearing I heard just now? Someone calling someone else a motherfucker..."
  173. (5:24:20 PM) ShockwaveLover: Everett, your optic nerves feel like they've been set on fire.
  174. (5:24:20 PM) Positronium: "I was /this/ close to getting some sleep when some degenerate starting hammering the hell out of... something. I came back to find out what that something is."
  175. (5:24:27 PM) ShockwaveLover: And blinking isn't helping.
  176. (5:25:59 PM) Proto_Lost: "I was just bored as hell, and I needed something to hit."
  177. (5:28:12 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Riiiiiight. Say, you alright there, Ev?"
  178. (5:29:03 PM) Scansleeps left the room (quit: Quit: Leaving.).
  179. (5:29:33 PM) Positronium: "If I thought it would help, I'd shove my head into the snow." He quietly groans.
  180. (5:30:21 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Sorry about that. All I saw was a shape, so I hit the lights. The blindness shouldn't last for too long."
  181. (5:30:44 PM) Proto_Lost: Simon looks around, in case their suspect was still mulling about. "In any case, do you know where I could get some whiskey?"
  182. (5:31:25 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Not unless our mystery hammerer was making a still."
  183. (5:32:20 PM) Positronium: "Could you look around for a second? He was hammering /something,/ but for whatever reason I can't seem to see it."
  184. (5:32:45 PM) ShockwaveLover: "I /said/ I was sorry. Geez..."
  185. (5:33:19 PM) Positronium: "It's... fine. I'm just frustrated, that's all."
  186. (5:33:51 PM) Proto_Lost: "God, if he was making a still, I'd probably buy him a drink." Simon turns to walk away, having had his fill of excitement and soreness for the night.
  187. (5:34:01 PM) ShockwaveLover: "That's a side effect of hanging around with old man winter, here."
  188. (5:34:01 PM) Proto_Lost left the room (quit: Quit: Adios for stuff).
  189. (5:36:09 PM) Positronium: "Can you see anything?"
  190. (5:36:29 PM) ShockwaveLover: 6df+4 Seeing-eye Duncan
  191. (5:36:30 PM) Glacon: ShockwaveLover: Seeing-eye Duncan: 3 (6df+4=+, 0, 0, -, 0, -)
  192. (5:37:12 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Well...it looks like someone took a massive slide in the snow. And you seem to be crying blood."
  193. (5:37:22 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Just kidding about that last bit."
  194. (5:37:58 PM) Positronium: "It feels like it."
  195. (5:38:22 PM) ShockwaveLover: "Can't see anything else."
  196. (5:39:14 PM) Positronium: "He was hitting /something./ I'll have to look once my eyes grow back."
  197. (5:39:34 PM) ShockwaveLover: "You want a hand back to your prefab?"
  198. (5:40:02 PM) Positronium: "I'd appreciate it, thanks."
  199. (5:41:08 PM) ShockwaveLover: The snow-dusted man takes his colleague by the arm and starts leading him back out to the path.
  200. (5:44:03 PM) ShockwaveLover: "So, an exciting night, huh?"
  201. (5:44:19 PM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan chuckles.
  202. (5:44:33 PM) Positronium: "I preferred the eggnog."
  203. (5:45:06 PM) ShockwaveLover: The other man glares at him. "/Don't/ mention the eggnog."
  204. (5:46:11 PM) Positronium: He fails to see the glare. "Sorry."
  205. (5:54:39 PM) Sequence left the room (quit: Ping timeout).
  206. (5:54:58 PM) Gara left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
  207. (5:58:03 PM) Positronium: Now he feels less like he faceplanted while being dragged off by the wendigo than someone who's eyes had a brief encounter with a power buffer.
  208. (5:59:10 PM) ShockwaveLover: Duncan, in the interim, has probably dropped Everett back at his hut.
  209. (6:00:26 PM) Positronium: In that case, it would also be probable that he was thanked on the way out.
