ZeroShot Third Strike

[21:04]	<UNOwen>	Suddenly, a hideous waste of space appears on the screen! Is it the end boss? Die worthless text! You don�t belong in this world! You steal maids� time, and make them your slaves! Your cutesy words are as empty as your soul! IRC ill needs a game such as you!
[21:04]	<UNOwen>	You find yourself in a CAVE. Obvious exits are NOWHERE. It is too DARK to see.
[21:04]	<UNOwen>	Yup, you guessed it. This is ZERO-SHOT! Third verse, worse than the first.
[21:04]	<UNOwen>	...
[21:05]	* [Owen]Wilhelmina	is LOST in this dark CAVE.
[21:05]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	"...hello...?"
[21:05]	<Alataecia>	...oh god..
[21:06]	<Alataecia>	What the hell... am I doing here?
[21:06]	* [Owen]Wilhelmina	hears a VOICE. Is there SOMEONE here?
[21:06]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	"Hello? Is someone there?"
[21:06]	<Alataecia>	Yes?
[21:06]	* Alataecia	answers the other voice from above.. doesn't sound too heavenly.
[21:07]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	"Where are you? I can't, I can't see..."
[21:07]	* [Owen]Wilhelmina	wanders around in the DARK.
[21:09]	<Alataecia>	...this way..
[21:09]	<Alataecia>	Take a few more steps torward my voice..
[21:10]	* [Owen]Wilhelmina	keeps shuffling NORTH. She bumps into a STALAGMITE, and falls forwards!
[21:10]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	"Naahhnn!"
[21:11]	* Alataecia	sighs.
[21:11]	* [Owen]Wilhelmina	falls into a PERSON! Who could it be?
[21:11]	<Alataecia>	You don't have a flashlight with you?
[21:12]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	"Unffh!"
[21:12]	<Alataecia>	...ugh...mind getting off of me... please?
[21:12]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	"Oh, s-sorry. I found you, though."
[21:13]	* [Owen]Wilhelmina	gets UP. She dusts off her SILVER UNIFORM.
[21:13]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	"No flashlight. I think, maybe some matches, though..."
[21:14]	<Alataecia>	..what are you doing in here....?
[21:14]	* Alataecia	squints to see this figure.
[21:15]	* [Owen]Wilhelmina	searches her INV. She finds some MATCHES (12).
[21:16]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	"I'm, not sure. I just sort of woke up and here I was. What about you?"
[21:16]	<Alataecia>	Same as you.. I WAS supposed to be serving a small demon master but somehow I'm here.
[21:16]	* [Owen]Wilhelmina	THINKS: "I sure hope they're not punishing me for what I did..."
[21:17]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	"I found the matches. Can we make a torch or something?"
[21:17]	<Alataecia>	Sure.
[21:18]	* Alataecia	rips off a piece of her apron and wraps it with a luckily dry stick found nearby.
[21:18]	* [Owen]Wilhelmina	combines MATCHES (12) with MAKESHIFT TORCH to make LIT TORCH and MATCHES (11).
[21:19]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	"Good, some light~"
[21:22]	* [Owen]Wilhelmina	is now VISIBLE. She is a small girl that looks rather monochromatic: Silver maid uniform, white hair, pale skin, and grey eyes. Despite the drab appearance, she looks quite hearty and determined.
[21:23]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	"I'm Wilhelmina, by the way. You can call me Willie if you want. What's your name?"
[21:27]	* Alataecia	takes a look at this girl.. she herself being the opposite, quite tall, with pink eyes, grey outfit, and brown hair.
[21:27]	<Alataecia>	Alataecia Miss. Just call me Cia.
[21:27]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	"Right right. Anyways, we should look around."
[21:28]	* [Owen]Wilhelmina	decides to STOP using ARBITRARY CAPITAL LETTERS. They are very ANNOY...ing.
[21:30]	<Alataecia>	Yes...
[21:30]	* Alataecia	goes first.
[21:31]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	The GM says: The girls start investigating the cave. It is rather dank and dirty, with much moisture, mold, and many more meaningful alliterations. Unlike stereotypical caves, it is more cavernous and rocky than full of tunnels. Sort of like an underground mountain range, only not.
[21:33]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	"What a weird cave...almost like being on anther planet."
[21:33]	* Dune	appears and looks around, seeing absolutely nothing.
[21:33]	<Dune>	... Huh.
[21:34]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	The GM says: "Dune" is not in the immediate vicinity of the other two. However will the two groups meet?!
[21:34]	<Alataecia>	...do I hear another survivor Willie?
[21:34]	* [Owen]Wilhelmina	tries to listen for something.
[21:34]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	"I can't tell. It's all so echoey in here."
[21:34]	* Dune	tries looking around a little more, accomplishing only collision with a stone pillar.
[21:35]	<Dune>	oof.
[21:35]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	"Do you think we should just shout out?"
[21:36]	* Dune	thinks to himself: "Well, it seems there's little to do but wait until I wake up again or reappear where I was, or something..."
[21:37]	<Alataecia>	Hello!?
[21:37]	* Alataecia	echoes...
[21:38]	* [Owen]Wilhelmina	is a little fidgety. What if they wake up something that wants to stay asleep?
[21:39]	* Dune	wakes up.
[21:39]	<Dune>	What, that was a dre-oh, wait...
[21:39]	<Dune>	Well, sound probably means someone, so...
[21:39]	<Dune>	ECHO!
[21:40]	* Dune	returns the call.
[21:40]	<Alataecia>	MARCO!
[21:40]	<Dune>	POLIO!
[21:41]	* Dune	begins walking towards the source of the "Marco", and with great care.
[21:41]	<Alataecia>	Meorcle!
[21:42]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	The GM says: Enough of this. You're all one big happy family now!
[21:43]	<Dune>	Why hello, there!
[21:44]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	"Oh, hello! Who are you?"
[21:44]	* Dune	thinks about this for a moment...
[21:44]	<Alataecia>	Hello.. seems we found another one.
[21:44]	<Dune>	Eh, just some guy.
[21:44]	<Dune>	nice to meet you two... I'd almost say "again"?
[21:45]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	"Again? No, I don't think we've met before. Not in this world, at least."
[21:46]	<Dune>	I guess that's so, isn't it.
[21:46]	* [Owen]Wilhelmina	whispers inaudibly: "Wouldn't put it past some of the stranger realms, though...oh how I hope they didn't..."
[21:46]	<Alataecia>	...I don't believe we've met Here..
[21:47]	* [Owen]Wilhelmina	looks around the cavern.
[21:48]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	"By the way...do you know where here is?"
[21:48]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	"Neither of us know how we got here."
[21:48]	* Dune	shrugs.
[21:48]	<Dune>	Quite honestly, I don't know either.
[21:49]	<Dune>	I was either dreaming or sleeping or sitting around or /something/, and then everything went dark.
[21:49]	<Dune>	Which would be about when I arrived here, I guess.
[21:49]	<Alataecia>	...well then, lets head in further shall we?
[21:49]	<Dune>	A good idea!
[21:49]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	"Yeah...I don't like it here."
[21:50]	* Dune	amends, mentally: ... hopefully.
[21:50]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	"Any ideas where, though?"
[21:51]	<Alataecia>	Who knows.. if we're right we might get out, if we're wrong we're all going to die.
[21:51]	<Dune>	Maybe we could use our own voices to find the way...?
[21:51]	* [Owen]Wilhelmina	is confused.
[21:51]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	"How would that work? There's way too many echoes in here."
[21:52]	<Dune>	possibly, but I figure that maybe if we listend carefully we could discern something more about this cave.
[21:53]	<Alataecia>	Just.. don't run into things anymore people..
[21:53]	* [Owen]Wilhelmina	blushes.
[21:53]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	"S-sorry~..."
[21:54]	* Dune	gains 1 (1) item rare to his world: A Maid's blush!
[21:55]	* Alataecia	kisses Dune.
[21:55]	* Alataecia	gains (1) Dune.
[21:55]	* Dune	is both bamboozled and confuddled while reacting adversely.
[21:55]	<Dune>	Pthb-pah! what?
[21:55]	<Alataecia>	You'll probably be the last person who gets that kiss from me.
[21:56]	* [Owen]Wilhelmina	just watches from the sidelines. Aww, how sweet~
[21:56]	* Dune	just wipes his lips another time, sighing afterwards.
[21:56]	<Dune>	To carry a defeatist attitude like that gets us nowhere.
[21:56]	<Dune>	so, let us move onward.
[21:57]	<Alataecia>	Right.
[21:58]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	The GM says: You adventure adventurously, trying vaguely to find your way. However, you think that perhaps you are not alone...
[21:58]	* [Owen]Wilhelmina	thinks she hears something behind them.
[21:58]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	"Umm...g-guys?"
[21:59]	<Dune>	what is it?
[21:59]	<Alataecia>	Yeah>
[21:59]	* Alataecia	shifts her glasses.
[21:59]	* Dune	searches his inventory, finding a stiletto-like pen and taking hold of it.
[22:00]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	"I thought...maybe, there's something back there..."
[22:00]	<Dune>	What kind of thing, do you think?
[22:01]	* [Owen]Wilhelmina	peers behind them into the darkness.
[22:01]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	"Something...scary."
[22:01]	<Dune>	hm.
[22:01]	<Alataecia>	All I got is this large kitchen knife with me.. if its large. I'm not going to be of much help.
[22:02]	* [Owen]Wilhelmina	thumbs the ritual mace she has strapped to her belt. Why it looks so ominous is a question for another day.
[22:03]	* Dune	frowns while pulling out only a longish, very fine-pointed common pen.
[22:04]	<Dune>	... blast my places of dwelling for disallowing weapons.
[22:05]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	The GM says: What will happen to our intrepid band of two maids and some guy? Was some Lovecraftian horror lurking in the darkness? Perhaps it was just a friendly neighborhood vampire? We may never know the truth, for this universe lacks structure, appeal, and permanency!
[22:06]	<[Owen]Wilhelmina>	Farewell, dear readers! The curtain falls on another day.
