<Silvy> As-per-normal on school days such as this, the loudspeakers buzz into life. "Any interested volunteers, please report to the briefing room." It's a simple little announcement and several students seem to be heading that way.
<DarnellJermaine> Despite Garrett's jarring experience on the last run, he decided that he wasn't gonna let anyone die on his watch- and he also could really use the money. He makes his way over to the briefing room at once.
<Jo`> Marie had grown used to the announcements by now and what they meant. So she grabbed her gear and made her way to the briefing room.
<RedRosasGhost> Diego doesn't know what he's volunteering for. His talk with Maya gives him enough context to guess tat it was one of those school organized peacekeeping things. Curious, he also heads towards the briefing room.
<RedRosasGhost> *that
<Silvy> When they report, they see a line of students slowly shuffling forward and another line, a much quicker one, where students are walking away from the door. Because they got rejected. Because they're losers. In the end, Marie, Garret, and Diego get let in and fine themselves in a room with a long white table. Rather than a person, there's a TV showing a man's face. A large man with a mustache and a hat showing a badge,
<Silvy> displaying him as a member of the NYPD. "This is them?" He asks a man in a more business-casual attire, this one is actually in the room. "Iii... yes?"
<RedRosasGhost> Diego visibly stiffens at the sight of the policeman, his distaste for pigs who guard the thrones of capital trumped by his curiosity for the moment.
<Silvy> The police officer gives a single nod at that before looking over the three of them. "I'm Officer McMillan from the New York City Police Department." The man states with confidence as he sits there. "And we need your help. Me and a squad of my guys were called to a missing persons case. A maintenance crew that was sent to the sewers didn't come back, so we went to check on them and... we found something peculiar." The
<Silvy> officer states, his eyes flicking among the crowd.
<Jo`> Marie would nod to the man in the room, and the TV, as he could obviously see them. She remained quiet however, waiting to hear the briefing.
<Silvy> The officer crossed his arms, "The sewage was replaced by some sort of... gel. We recieved the maintanence crew but in the process were attacked by some sort of blue things." He paused for a moment before heaving out a sigh, "So we're calling you, because She might be involved."
<DarnellJermaine> Garrett gives a quick salute to the Police Officer, "We'd be glad to help, sir! Thank you for your duties out in the field and protecting the people" and after that, he listens in on what Officer McMillan has to say, "A missing persons case- I see" the gel he couldn't really explain so easily- sounded like slimes in a video game, but real life wasn't a video game! Right? "She? Who is 'she'?"
<RedRosasGhost> Diego frowns a bit at the salute, but also chimes in at the mention of a 'she.' "Yes, could you provide more details...Officer?"

<Jo`> Marie frowned at that. That could be magic, or just some anomolous person messing with physics. She would listen, not interrupting. It was a briefing, things would be explained.
<Silvy> He sighed again. The sort of frustrated yet hopeless sigh of a man down on his luck, forced against his will to reveal the bleakness of the world to his chipper child. "She... Is..." He glances around the room on his side of the Skype call. "The Dark Queen. A... Superv-" And in that very moment, the screen splits as a second member of the call joins. "Say my name right you buffoon!" The helmeted face shouts glaring to her
<Silvy> right which ever so happens to be the direction of the officer's picture. She clearly had vast, diabolical knowledge of how Skype's UI worked. "I am not, The Dark Queen! I am THE DARK QUEEN!-" They could hear thunder from the other side of the call right after the name was uttered- "The truest of evils!" She announced. The girl, judging by her voice, was dressed in black power armor accented by red with a blood-red cape,
<Silvy> sitting on a throne before a volcano that oozed lava! Evil!
<Silvy> They could tell she was glaring despite the helmet, because her posture was very glareful at the moment she said buffoon.
<DarnellJermaine> Now this was exciting- Garrett's hard beat faster as he felt like he was inside one of those Saturday morning cartoons. He stood up with a stupid smile on his face, placing a knee on his chair and pointing towards the monitor, "THE DARK QUEEN!" he shouts with the same enthusiasm she did, "On my honor, the students of Fifth Sanctum will bring you to justice, mark my words!"
<Jo`> Marie just sort of stared at the screen a moment befor elooking to the man in the room with them. "Really?" She asked. This had to be some kind of prank. Mess with the kids, keep the 5s staff entertained.
<RedRosasGhost> Diego adjusts his glasses, not smiling at all. They had told him that the old capitalist regimes were nuts back at the Institute but this was just ridiculous. He looks very soberly at the mask on screen, then the suited man with a very tired expression.
<RedRosasGhost> *equally tired

<Silvy> THE DARK QUEEN crossed her arms. Apparently her NEMESIS thought better than to come. Good! "Please don't encourage her." The officer said as he rubbed his temples, "She popped up a few months ago claiming to b-" He was cut off, "I AM the world's greatest villain! Do you know the atrocities I've committed!?" The girl asked, slamming her fist down on her chair's armrest. "She's a wanted felon. We've hired students from your
<Silvy> school to apprehend her in the past, but they failed." THE DARK QUEEN crossed her arms, smugly satisfied at the Officer's knowledge. "You can google her if you want her criminal record, it's publicly available."
<Silvy> "We didn't know for sure that she was... involved in this though." He admitted with a frown.
<DarnellJermaine> "DARK QUEEN, on my honor, I will put you down! Your villainy and tyranny ends here!" he begins to get way into it, "Remember my name, and remember it well-" he summons his Persona somewhere off screen so that the red mask covering his eyes and the bridge of his nose can form, The goat man sitting off in a corner, "My name is Gar- Jester, and I will be the one to end you! For as you are the greatest supervillain, I shall become the
<DarnellJermaine> greatest superHERO!" he raises his fist high in the air.
* UraniumEmpire has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds)
<Jo`> Marie just shrugged a bit. "Never heard of her. We will handle this for you, Officer." And then Garrett was going full on. "Please. You do realize you are encouraging a felon and probable murderer? Can you behave as a representative of this school and not a child with superhero fantasies?"
<RedRosasGhost> Diego nods in the direction of Marie. "The comrade has a point. Don't make this any more fun for this..." He looks at the masked person dead on. "...this public nuisance. We'll deal with them when the time comes."
<Silvy> THE DARK QUEEN smiled wildly and the visor on her power armor raised, "Oh, a rookie hero like you is no match for my VILLAINY! So let me tell you of the scheme I have!" The lights flickered on the police officer's end before his call disconnected. "Suspected murderer. Give me a little credit! I am a VILLAIN! And a FELON!" She shouted both of those, presumably into a headset mounted mic as the volcano behind her erupted.
<Silvy> "Now, since I last met heroes of sanctum, I have been doing my highly illegal activities! This time, though, I targeted my wrath at the very thing you all attend! A school system!" She grinned behind her mask as her visor went back down.
<Silvy> "Also, I would like to note, I am not a murderer. Just a suspected one! Which ruins the system because I PUT THAT CHARGE ON MYSELF! That's right, I hacked the police system's computers."
<Jo`> "Can we please end this call and continue the briefing? We should investigate what is happening in the sewers and deal with this childish little girl's vandalism"
<DarnellJermaine> "YOU MONSTER!" he calls out with all the gall of some sort of anime protagonist, "How dare you commit SUSPECTED MURDER and tarnish the beauty of the school system!" he clenches his fist, a single tear rolling down his eyes, "The fact that a true villain like you can walk the streets breaks my heroic heart- now it's settled for sure though. At all costs I will do anything I can to stop you! MARK MY WORDS DARK QUEEN!!!"
<Silvy> "I deleted the NYPD's Skype account, they're making another right now." The girl states as she crosses her arms and leans back. "I'll go ahead and tell you the real story though! I helped a child cheat in the science fair! Ha!" She spoke, pointing at the screen. "But, while she was washing her hands, I knocked in a silicon-based life-crystal that I created INTO the project, thus accidentally creating a water-composed
<Silvy> lifeform! It slid down the drain and thus, I shall use it to destroy the city! Mwahahahaha!" The evil laughter was impeccable, a booming one that sounds as if it were practiced in the mirror for hundreds of hours. Because it was.
<DarnellJermaine> "Cheating? Creating a monster?" Garrett flinches for a moment, having to shield his eyes from true evil- "I can't even look at you- such an atrocious carrier of sin! We will defeat your monster, save the city, and put you behind bars!"
<RedRosasGhost> Diego cocks his head, a little impressed now. Good science was good science, and he wasn't fond of the NYPD on even the best of days. He probably should do something about the Skype call though. He started rummaging around his toolbelt, looking for his smartphone. "I can work on getting the police on the line, if you want."
<Silvy> "Rookie hero, you can't stand up to my minions, much less again me! I-" The volcano behind her flickers before becoming the Eye of Sauron. "Shadowmonger! I-you- ugh." The Skype call ends and the group hears the familiar doop-do-do-do-doop-do of an incoming skype call, which the man standing to the side answers. "What just happened?" The police officer asked before looking around.
<DarnellJermaine> "Evil- evil happened" Garrett says, trying to make his voice sound deeper than it was.
<Jo`> "We have a understanding of what is going on. We have put up with this enough. Can we please have a portal to the location where the NYPD entered the sewers so we may investigate?"
<DarnellJermaine> "Oh- and barriers please!" he adds in, his little superhero shtick put to rest for now.
<Silvy> The officer took his glasses off and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Very well. You can take the train in Haven to here like the students did last time. I presume you either know how to get there or you can get someone to show you the way. This employee-" He nods towards the IT guy that answered the call for them- " should provide you with any items that your school provides normally."
<RedRosasGhost> Diego checks his toolbelt and pats his pockets to ensure all his tech was on him. "Then I guess that will be all?" He looks towards the IT man. "Any addendums you have? Or are we good here?"
<Silvy> The IT guy shakes his head before pointing to the table, "There's, uh barriers bracelet things for you guys there if you need them. We have four since, uh... we expected that many. But only one per person anyways... since having two at once doesn't do anything."
<Jo`> Marie would collect the bracelet and slip it on. "We are taking a train to New York?"
<DarnellJermaine> "Guess there's nothing left to do but stop this supervillain" he puts on the bracelet all in slow mo with his elbow and arm pointing up- it feels just like he's in a movie. "Let's go save the world"
<Silvy> "Uh, well, yeah. The train in town is... magic? Yeah. It can teleport to anywhere in the world... as long as there are tracks to it."
<RedRosasGhost> Diego inspects the bracelet for a moment. He puts it on after glancing over it, raising an eyebrow at the mention of a magic train. "I guess that's...um...convenient?"
<Silvy> "Dooo you three know how to get to it?"
<DarnellJermaine> "Umm..." Garrett sheepishly looks away, "I- I don't seem to recall"
<Jo`> "I assume it is the train station in Haven, or is this somehting different? If you could give us directions?"
* BonziBuddy has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds)
<Silvy> "It is the train station, yes. I'll... I'll lead you." He nods before going to head out of the room and lead them towards the station.
<DarnellJermaine> Garrett follows behind, "Yes, the station of course!"
<Silvy> He leads them down the hall and down town to the station,  past the automaton greeter to lets them in. "The train should take you there so, uh, yeah. Good luck?"
<RedRosasGhost> Diego falls into line, hands in his coat pockets as they reach the station. "Are we sure that this train is safe?", he asked in a neutral tone to the employee.
<Silvy> The employee nods his head. "It's safe. People have been on it countless times."
<DarnellJermaine> Garrett take a seat towards the back so he can brood like a real hero
<RedRosasGhost> Diego nods, seemingly accepting the employee's word. "Thanks for the help, fellow worker." He gets on the train, taking the nearest available seat, and checks his utilitool's settings.
<Jo`> Marie stepped onto the train without any further questions and went to find herself a seat. It was best to just get this done and over with. People were at risk.
<Silvy> Once all three of the students are aboard the train, it starts chugging along. It goes forward a bit before entering a black tunnel despite the students not seeing a tunnel anywhere nearby when they boarded the train.
<Silvy> They stayed in that black tunnel for about ten minutes before the train slowed and they saw an approaching subway station, where the train stopped and its door opened.
<DarnellJermaine> Wow, that was... fast. Magic trains are pretty dope. Garrett gets up before finishing his brood session and rejoins with his companions towards the door, "Are you two ready to see Justice through?"
<Jo`> Marie rose and went to exit the train once it arrived. "This is not a game, you could die, innocent people could be harmed or killed. Stop treating this like it is a game. You are not this delusional woman..you are not a super heroe, you have a job to do."
<RedRosasGhost> Diego sighs softly. "I'm ready to make sure the working people don't have to suffer anything more than their daily wage slavery. Let's just find this girl and deal with this slime."
<DarnellJermaine> Garrett turned serious for a moment, "You saw this woman's crimes- this isn't a serious threat, I'm sure it'll be fine. Relax, nobody likes fifth sanctum's stuffy atmosphere anyways. After the last awful mission I went on, I'd like a little bit of fun- don't ruin it"
<Jo`> "How long before her idiocy turns lethal? She is playing dangerous games and has been lucky no one has been hurt so far. You will not risk innocent people's lives, nor mine or Diego's because you want to have fun. If this is just fun for you, get back on the train"
<Silvy> The people seem to part a bit at the strange group and their train has already closed its doors and started chugging away.
<DarnellJermaine> "Like I'd let you guys or anyone else get killed- but if that's the way things are then fine, I'll tone it down, but seriously y'all need to chill" he sighs and brings it down a few levels, walking along with the group in relative disappointment.
<RedRosasGhost> Diego walks briskly, moving with a sense of urgency. He looks sympathetically towards Garrett. "Hey, we're all comrades, right? We'll get this done and be out of those sewers in no time. We can crack all the jokes we want when that lunatic is in the gula..prison."
<Silvy> At the exit, they find a different officer waiting for them. "Oh, it was this one this time." The man states before motioning for them to follow. "Are you three the students from Sanctum?"
<DarnellJermaine> Garrett perks up a bit and offers up a fist bump for Diego, "Yeah, you right, you right. Let's do it to it my dude"
<Jo`> Marie walked with them, nodding to the officer. "We are. Can you show us to the enterence the recon team used to access the sewer system?"
<RedRosasGhost> Diego accepts the fist bump happily, his smile only losing its luster at the sight of the pig. He let Marie do the talking, just in case he let something insulting slip.
<Silvy> The officer nodded once. "Yes, well, follow me." The officer spoke, "It should just be two blocks down."
<DarnellJermaine> Garrett nods to the man and continues on his way with the others.
<Jo`> Marie nodded and motioned for the office to lead the way. "Thank you, Officer."
<Silvy> He led them to a sewer grate, grate already removed, with a fence of police line around it. "This is the place. The anomaly should be down there. Best of luck."
<DarnellJermaine> "Water then, huh? I think I've got this" a blue mask forms around his face as a large, anthropomorphic turtle is summoned behind him, and both of them begin climbing down the grate, "Hope you don't mind sewer whater Sheldon!" the turtle's face scrunches up with displeasure, "If it's necessary, leader..."
<RedRosasGhost> Diego ducks under the police line and looks down into the sewer. He takes out his utilitool again and checks to ensure that his flashlight is working.
<Silvy> The flashlight works!
<RedRosasGhost> Diego shines the light down the entryway. "Well, that's our cue, comrades. We should get to it."
<Jo`> Marie would head on down, letting Diego follow behind with the light. "Let's just take this slow and careful. Keep your eyes open."
<Silvy> Below, in the sewer, they find themselves on a path, two raised paths on either side of the channel in the center. Maintanence walkways. The channel itself where the sewage would normally travel is startlingly clean, instead it's filled with a blue-green gelatinous substance slowly crawling south. The substance continues either direction they look. Oddly enough, it doesn't smell as bad as a sewer should. It's no worse than
<Silvy> the normal Manhatten trash-filled air. It may arguably be better, actually.
<DarnellJermaine> Well, not one to be stopped by the mysterious ooze, Garrett points towards the channel and commands Sheldon to jump in- which he reluctantly does, Garrett shortly after jumping onto his shell. "I'll scout ahead this way" he says, pointing towards the right facing end, "And see what's ahead- I should be able to travel faster this way" (assuming the ooze doesn't actively slow him)

<DarnellJermaine> (he uses garrett's stats but as if wearing heavy armor)
<Silvy> Sheldon goes onto the water and then promptly after hops up to the other side of the ooze-filled channel, avoiding the giant blue hand that shoots out of the gel. The hand sinks back down into the channel from whence it came.
<Silvy> Through his modified device, Diego can see the biological signs of him and his party... the substance filling the channel isn't biological in nature, so he gets no reading from it. But it's rather clearly alive seeing as it just formed a hand.
<Silvy> The hand, it's worth saying, was made of the same material as what fills the channel.
<DarnellJermaine> "That was close, Leader. I don't think this is a safe path" he replies after jumping back out towards Garrett, "I see, thanks for tryin' anyways. I guess we stick on the side paths then" even Garrett looks a little worried at what just transpired, glad he didn't jump right in after.
<Jo`> Marie looked into the channel and tilted her head. "I think we should avoid touching that goo as much as possible? Hug the wall if you can, stay within arms reach of each other incase something gets ahold of one of us"
<DarnellJermaine> "Good call" he says, pressing his back up against the wall and walking along with the party, "In hindsight, I probably should've wondered why there was goo instead of water in the sewer"
<Silvy> The gel seems to have flattened out, giving no sign of the hand that was once there.
<RedRosasGhost> As he checks the screen, Diego seems a little intrigued. "The girl wasn't lying about that silicon-based life form stuff. No organic molecules registering at all. The good news is that we could probably whip up some harmless solvents that would make this slime's life hell."
<Silvy> He does get the occasional dead vital signs of a half-digested rat here or there, hidden beneath the surface of the sludge.
<RedRosasGhost> "Oh yeah, I should also mention that it's probably predatory. The giant grasping hand was a clue, but it seems to be ingesting the vermin that once occupied this sewer."
<DarnellJermaine> "I see- all the more reason to stay out of it's way. Perhaps...?" Garrett commands Sheldon to let out a blast of pressurized water into the stream of goo, seeing if it reacts.
<Silvy> The water doesn't seem to affect it, save for it swelling, a massive raised spot where the water hit that promptly started flowing opposite of the gel's 'current'. Anyone feel free to roll an academics/knowledge check that's either mundane or occult.
<Silvy> Actually, no knowledge checks.
<Jo`> "We will need to find the source of the slime, or find some way to clear it all out. I am not a scientist. I am not sure if this crystal she spoke of is spent, or a sustained source of life"

<DarnellJermaine> At this point, it seems having Sheldon out is an exercise in futility, so he dissipates the mask, and Sheldon disappears as well. "I suppose you're right- nothing I do seems to affect it as is"

<Jo`> "I don't think it has any basis in magic"

* Mjeowlnir (dicebot@73-09-134-230-ogkgfba.midco.net) has joined
<Jo`> "You seem to have a much better scientific understanding. You should take the lead on this."
<Silvy> The slime continues flowing south and they see the growth caused by the water blast continue floating northward.
* Antichthon` has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
<RedRosasGhost> Diego stops walking for a moment and pulls out a bar magnet from a toolbelt pouch. He ties it to a rope and dangles just over the surface of the goo to see if there was any effect.
<Silvy> ... Nothing.
<DarnellJermaine> Garrett crouches down on his belly and slowly and quietly tries to reach a hand down to grab some of the gel if possible.
<Silvy> He does so and it feels like shower-gel, but a bit warmer. It squirms and tries to get out until he disconnects it from the rest of it, at which point it goes inert.
<DarnellJermaine> Carefully, he stands himself back up and holds the gel out to Diego- "It feels like- like warm shower gel. Kinda weird and liquidy. Go ahead, take a look for yourself"
<Silvy> > Before he rises up though, he does need to make a soak check.
<Jo`> "IT seems to stop moving when disconnected. PErhaps it needs to be in contact with this crystal to stay active. Maybe if we find the source we can end it all?"
<RedRosasGhost> Diego accepts the gel and places it in a small specimen container. "That seems likely. We should keep following the flow for now."

<Silvy> Diego rerejigs his device to detect molecules, but, well... he didn't do a great job of it this time. Probably because it was rushwork. It's not precise enough to detect what he's trying to.
<Jo`> "Let's keep moving and hope we can find this crystal. Perhaps someone should head back up briefly to ask the officer where this school was in relation if it went down the drain there"
<Silvy> Garrett feels a tingle all over his arm, a warm sort of pressing tingle... but nothing seems to happen?
<RedRosasGhost> Diego snorts in annoyance at the detector, putting it away for the moment. He turns over to Marie. "That's...a very good idea. I can wait here if you'd like." He pulls a grey penlike object from a coat pocket and taps it a few times. A bright white light shines from one end. He tosses it over to her. "You might need this."
<Jo`> Marie would take the flashlight with a nod and turn back to head back up to the surface where they had come down to ask the police officer where the school was.
<Silvy> He says the school is three miles to the east and, if she inquires, there have been no sightings near there.
<Jo`> Marie took that information and headed back down to meet the others. "There have been no sighting there, I think where it went in, it may have drifted down, and come further west. The school is about 3 miles east. Perhaps this is where it settled and worked more effectivly?"
<RedRosasGhost> Diego rocks on his heels as he thinks. "That would be a fair assumption. The masked girl didn't say that she seeded the crystal or whatever at the school, but I dunno how these science fairs work anyways."
<DarnellJermaine> Garrett will pull his own flashlight out of his pocket and shine it out, walking with the group in tandem and thankful the slime didn't fuck him up somehow.
<Silvy> They walk! Do they go north or south?
<Jo`> "I think the cyrtal needs to be near whatever it turns into goo for it to remain such. Which would be why it is concentrated in this area"
<DarnellJermaine> I assume south ye?
<RedRosasGhost> that's what I was guessing.
<Silvy> They go south, with the current of slime. They continue downward with it, the slime going onward and occasionally branching off. More frequently than that, though, are tendrils of goo reaching up into various pipes that go towards the surface.
<DarnellJermaine> Garrett frowns as he watches the ooze begin to climb up the pipes- "This can't be good, we better step on it"
<Silvy> The smell of sewage intensifies as they continue heading south.
<Jo`> "Wait..we should see what way it is flowing if we can. We should look upstream, as it would likely have been washed down from that direction"
<Silvy> The goo is still in a slow, highly viscious flow south.
<RedRosasGhost> Diego steps up his pace, keeping his light trained ahead. "I was hoping to see its expansion in action,but you're right. We don't have the time to waste."
<RedRosasGhost> Steps up a Northward pace to be clear
<DarnellJermaine> "Well, the water went north when Sheldon shot at it, so I assume that's the way it's flowing naturally, meaning we're in the right direction"
<Silvy> Diego turns around and heads South.
<Silvy> Err, heads North.
<RedRosasGhost> "Yeah, but we want to get to the source, not follow it downstream"
<DarnellJermaine> "Maybe we should split up? Because if the water went north I presume that direction is downstream and the slime is pushing against the stream towards its source... then again I ain't too good at school stuff"
<Jo`> "If it is flowing north we should go south, but we have to keep a close eye in the channel. It could be anywhere in this mass. I can not think of any way to detect this crystal"
<Jo`> (reverse that, should head north if it is flowing south)
<DarnellJermaine> Garrett spins around on his heels, "You two seem smarter than me, so no complaints I 'spose"
<Silvy> (Which direction is the party heading?)
* Jo` would suggest heading north.
<RedRosasGhost> (north, comrade!)
<DarnellJermaine> (northerino)
<Silvy> They go north! They see somewhat similar results to south, tendrils of slime reaching up into tubes and pipes. The smell, however, gets better rather than worse. They hear bubbles.
<DarnellJermaine> Garrett will continue onward as normal.
<Silvy> As they continue north, they see the slime overflows from the channel, going to coat the walls, ground, and ceiling. There seems to be a similar (albeit slower) flow from the ceiling to the walls, down the walls, and then into the channel of slime.
<RedRosasGhost> Diego draws his coat tightly around himself, a little freaked out. "We're definitely reaching some epicenter of weird, comrades."
<DarnellJermaine> He stops, placing an arm over his companions if they;re behind him, "If it grabbed at us last time, we probably shouldn't walk over it again. How do we proceed?"
<Silvy> > Perception, everyone.

<Silvy> The slime shifts and then a baseball sized glob fires out of the slime and hits Marie.
<Silvy> The slime seems heavy when it hits you but... no effect other than that.
<Silvy> It does cling to you a bit, a few tendrils of slime reaching up to contact with any bits that splattered off, seemingly collecting it.
<Jo`> Marie frowned and would try to scrape the slime off of her to fling it to the floor.
<Silvy> A lot of it seems to have dried sticking to you, like baked mud. Any bits that are scraped off are collected by the tendrils.
<RedRosasGhost> Diego looks over to Marie in shock, and then back to the current. He takes off his coat on all but one sleeve, holding it up like a rudimentary protection of sorts. "You might want to have that water blasting at the ready, comrade. It might buy us some time at least."
<DarnellJermaine> Garrett nods his head with a thumbs up, the blue mask forming over his face once more as Sheldon makes a return appearance, "Alright- blast us a path to run through buddy, we don't wanna deal with icky shticky slime"
<Jo`> "We will still need a way to find the crystal, and clear a way through the slime to get to it as it is likely submerged in the stuff."
<RedRosasGhost> Diego stops again for another small test. He ties two copper wires to the ends of NiCad battery and reaches over with his covered arm to touch the live wires to the slime.
<RedRosasGhost> *a NiCad
<Silvy> The slime explodes backwards and shirks away from the electric attack, clearing a large area around him. He sees little spasms throughout the slime network. (4 damage)
<RedRosasGhost> "Revolutionary!" he exclaims!
<DarnellJermaine> "Hey, keep that up! It seems to be working"
* gumbal1 (gumbal1@199.30.qhq.t) has joined
* ChanServ gives channel operator status to gumbal1
<Jo`> "Well that may help us clear a way to the crystal when we find it, but how long can you keep it up, and how long before this stuff starts attacking back?"
<RedRosasGhost> Diego nods towards Marie, a grin still on his face. "Exactly, so I'll give you two some wire-battery hookups, while I hand back and work on calling down the big thunder. I should be able to build a taser or at least amplify the charge."

<Silvy> The taser he makes is no better than the wire-battery hookup he already used.
<RedRosasGhost> He looks at it a little dismayed. "Well, this isn't the big thunder, but maybe I'll use more batteries in a bigger DC system. In any case, I'll clearly need some time."
<DarnellJermaine> "Well, I'd rather us wait while you set up then run in and get destroyed"
<RedRosasGhost> Diego looks through his belt, rummaging around. "Well, I think the issue on the taser is the delivery systen. Let me try something else." He starts swiftly disassembling a laser pointer.

<Jo`> Marie nodded "We should not use it until we find the crystal, to try and avoid this stuff becoming more aggresive. It has already attacked a few times, it is capable."
<Silvy> He manages it, although the laser-based electricity delivery is probably far weaker than the more direct battery method.
<RedRosasGhost> "OK, comrades. We've got 2 battery-wire combos. Those worked well for now, but you have to get right in. There's a wired taser with similar power, but again, limited range. Finally, we've got the electrolaser. Crazy range, but doesn't have the punch." He cracks his fingers and looks at both of them. "Best I could do under the circumstances. Arm yourselves, comrades."
<Jo`> "Will the batteries work if we toss them in?"
<RedRosasGhost> "Probably for one shock if you aim right, but that would be a waste. NiCads have great battery life, so you'd be giving up a lot of attempts for one."
<Silvy> The group hears more bubbles.
<Jo`> Marie decided to give somehting a try. If it was living, or had a consciousness, even a joined one, maybe it would be possible to effect whatever primitive mind it had.

<Silvy> Marie sent the psychic attack at the mass of slime and felt it collide with... something. There was a mind there and she could attack it, an almost childlike pressing against her attack before shoving the psychic pain away, resulting in no harm done to the mind.

<Silvy> Either roll is a failed dodge. Since I'm assuming he's doding.
<Silvy> *dodging.
<Silvy> The blast hits and a heavy slime turns crystaline like honey that's been left in the cabinet too long. Garrett gets a +2 to his next attempt at tanking, but a -2 to his next dodge.
<Silvy> > Diego
<RedRosasGhost> Clearly his tool-swinging was of little avail, so Diego attempts to take a different tack and analyze the situation.

<Silvy> Diego can see the core and realizes two things, first that matter can't be spontaneously created and, judging by how the core seems much smaller now than it was when they arrived, the humanoid slimes they were fighting came from it expending its mass. Killing the slimes resulted in it losing mass... But if it was losing mass, it probably had some way of recovering that and judging by how it the water sprayed earlier
<Silvy> reacted, it's probably A) water-based and B) heals/grows via water, which is probably where all the sewage went. So don't add water!
<Silvy> > Red Slime
<Silvy> The Red Slime goes to throw a punch at Garrett again, because he's a real tricksy one.

<Silvy> > Marie
<RedRosasGhost> Diego turns to Garrett. "Fire, comrade! The organism is water-based. Dry it out if you can!"
<Jo`> Marie drew that knife across her cheek now, drawing more blood. She needed to keep it flowing for the magic to work. She reached out again, more of that blood streaming from her wounds towards the core, infused with her will. (1 health for effort)

<Silvy> Indeed she does!

<Jo`> Marie just kept up her psychic assault on the core, another slice of the blade, drawing blood from just above the collar bone. She was a bloody mess now, but when wasn't she on a mission. She lashed out once more, trying to break the primitive mind controling the mass. (1 hp for effort)

<DarnellJermaine> Garrett buys 3 successes and gracefully dodges out of the way- now running was seriously a thought in his mind, though he staved it off. If he could just get Cherry out and survive one more round of attacks...
<Silvy> > Garrett
<DarnellJermaine> This time, Garrett places a hand on his face- as his red mask turns to a green one with floral patterns on it, and the goatman Murdoc disappears. By Garrett's side is a beautiful, short girl covered in plantlike clothing, "I'm here boss~" she called out- taking up his action.

<Silvy> The hit goes, the voice crying out in pain before going silent. The slimes collapse and they see the cocoon-like structure collapse a half block away, the Slime Core fallen.
<Jo`> Marie  walked towards where the core was, the blood pouring from her wounds seemed to draw back in to seal the cuts up. She was going for that cacoon like core, lookiing for the thing that brought it to life.

<Jo`> Marie got a little healing from the small leaf girl but she went right back to cutting, slicing open her palm again before it was waved back towards Garrett, tendrils of blood crossing the space between them, running into his wounds.

<Silvy> It's still not water, it's slime.

<Silvy> Right as she grabs it, a second hand clad in black expanded a glass sphere around it. "Well that's just plain rude." The power-armor wearing figure stated before stepping back, Marie's hand, the core, and a not-insignificant amount of slime trapped within a glass sphere... Marie's hand was still on! The sphere formed around her wrist though, trapping her hand within.
<Silvy> THE DARK QUEEN stood before the party, frowning at the trapped hand and the core before she kicked over a 55 gallon drum, white powder flowing out of the container and into the slime.
<RedRosasGhost> Diego groans very loudly. "This counter-revolutionary again! What do you want?"
<Jo`> Marie held one, not that she hand much of a choice, while things got kicked she tried to mend her own wounds once more, aftercutting into her own leg. She ruined so many outfits this way.
<DarnellJermaine> Garrett's heart beat a little faster as he saw THE DARK QUEEN in person- was this fear? Admiration? He couldn't tell, but he pointed out at her, "YOU! Prepare to meet your doom!" he pulls back his slingshot, aiming it at her and ready to fire.

<Silvy> "Well, I wanted to grab my core and then toss it at you all within its container. Then I was going to make a joke about being like every other teen mom and forcing my child on strangers... Then throw it all at you." She spoke, looking at the ammo in its sling. "Try it. I dare you."

<Silvy> She flicks the ammo away without issue. "But SHE-" THE DARK QUEEN pointed at Marie, "Stole my chance of making that joke! So SHE is my nemesis now! ... When Athene isn't around." With that, THE DARK QUEEN through a little pebble-sized thing on the ground that exploded in a puff of smoke! And she was gone!
<Jo`> "This is coming with us, you can skulk off to whatever sad little place you call a lair, child. I have had enough of your games, and I am not in the mood for more of this. You are a terrible 'villian', you could be doing good, but you waste your potential on childish persuits."
<Silvy> She reappeared to state, "You mispronounced pursuits," before disappearing in another puff of smoke!

<Jo`> Marie would drag her bloody battered body out of the sewers, and head for the the train station, with a ball of slime attached to her hand.
<Silvy> And with that, the party returns to the surface and rides the train back to Sanctum for debriefing.
