- <Bucky>: Our heroes are enjoying a simple lunch when at once the power ramps up and then collapses blanketing the building in darkness
- Jitterbug is in the shack, when the power goes out. Luckily, she can see in the dark
- <Bucky>: Kssssssshhh Krakow pow zap
- <Jitterbug>: ....
- <Jitterbug>: That ain't good
- <Greene>: [brb a sec]
- <Greene>: [oh, bloody hell]
- <Jitterbug>: whats wrong?]
- <Greene>: [I have to drop there's a fight going on downstairs]
- <Greene>: [continue on]
- Wrong_Way was enjoying a ketchup sandwich in the lunchroom when the power goes out.
- <Jitterbug>: seeya Greene ]
- <Jitterbug>: sorry bout that]
- *** Greene is now known as Awaylina
- Jitterbug flies out of the shack, and heads to the school
- <Wrong_Way>: "Right in the middle of lunch too?"
- <Bucky>: Our heroes are enjoying a simple lunch when at once the power ramps up and then collapses blanketing the city in darkness
- Jitterbug begins to walk the hallways
- <Jitterbug>: Attention students, please stay where you are, we shall have the power outage fixed as soon as we can. Please stay where you are, for your safety
- <Bucky>: To all near a window the s-smoke signal can be seen from the roof of the precinct
- <Wrong_Way>: "Weirrrdddd"
- <GoodTimes>: Andy follows after Jitterbug, covered in glowsticks and looking like some luminescent orb "I don't see what the problem is. It's just a power outage." he says with a shrug.
- Wrong_Way decides to risk it by leaving the lunch room and see what's all the hubbub.
- <Jitterbug>: Andy, we gotta be serious here, there are young kids here, and, all this confusion, could lead to someone getting hurt
- Wrong_Way wanders the hallways, using his phone as a light and as a source of entertainment.
- <GoodTimes>: "Well yeah, I know I know." he says with a shrug "I mean, I know that power outages aren't that common around here, but still." he says.
- <Wrong_Way>: "Heh, why would a cat even need socks?"
- <Jitterbug>: Hello? Is someone there?
- Jitterbug sniffs the air
- <Bucky>: Cops are burning whatever they can find as a source of smoke to alert the s-men
- <Jitterbug>: Oh!
- <Jitterbug>: That's new...
- <GoodTimes>: Andy looks over and notices the smoke outside "...Wait, that looks familiar..." he mumbles.
- Wrong_Way peers around the corner of a hallway and sees Jitters and Goodtimes there.
- <Bucky>: The s-smoke signal is still going strong
- <Bucky>: god bless out boys in blue
- <Jitterbug>: Euurgh....
- <Wrong_Way>: "Oh phew, i thought you guys were invading brotherhood guys."
- <Bucky>: our*
- <Jitterbug>: We can't leave kids here, can we?
- <GoodTimes>: "There are other teachers here aren't there?" he asks.
- <Jitterbug>: yeah, but only two security guards...Oh hey!
- Jitterbug turns to face Wrong_Way
- <Jitterbug>: You're the warping kid, like Flip, right?
- <Wrong_Way>: "..."warping" kid?"
- <Wrong_Way>: "But yeah, I do that."
- <Wrong_Way>: "Why are they having a barbaque at the police station?"
- <Jitterbug>: Think you could lock all the doors, or something?
- <Jitterbug>: And, no reason, Andy and I here...just have to grab some food, yeah
- Jitterbug puts an arm over GoodTimes' shoulder, and whispers
- <Jitterbug>: smooooooooooth
- <Wrong_Way>: "Why would I need to lock everyone out?"
- <Jitterbug>: So they dont hurt themselves
- <GoodTimes>: "Yeah, Marky Mark. Power outages don't happen too often around here, so some students might get kinda confused. We don't want any students wandering around outside their rooms in the dark, ya know?" Andy explains with a smile.
- <Wrong_Way>: "Alright alright. The doors in the school /aren't/ locked."
- <Bucky>: more like its the year 2024 and suddenly all tech not working is bad]
- <GoodTimes>: [Oh yeah. Keep forgetting we're in the future.
- <GoodTimes>: ]
- <Jitterbug>: Shall we go Andy?
- Jitterbug holds out her hands
- <Wrong_Way>: "Aw come on, you guys can't leave me here!"
- <GoodTimes>: "Mark, this is a job for the big kids." he jokes, taking Bella's hands "Let's fly."
- <Jitterbug>: On it!
- Jitterbug hovers in the air, and begins her take off
- <Jitterbug>: Andy, where are we going?
- Jitterbug smirks
- <Wrong_Way>: "How are you guys gonna get out of the school after what I just did?"
- <Jitterbug>: What are yo-
- Jitterbug slams into a door
- <Jitterbug>: Owwwwwwwwwww
- <Jitterbug>: owowowowow
- <Wrong_Way>: "Thought so."
- <GoodTimes>: Andy grunts on impact "...Windows, Bella?"
- <Jitterbug>: Right!
- Jitterbug gets up, and flies at the window, bumping her head against it
- <GoodTimes>: Andy pries it open with his foot.
- <Jitterbug>: thanks, Andy
- Jitterbug begins to fly out
- <GoodTimes>: "Ya know, it's been a while since we've gone on a job like this." he laughs "Feels good to get out of the office."
- <Jitterbug>: I know, right?!
- Jitterbug does a loop de loop in the air
- <Jitterbug>: Woooooo!
- Wrong_Way mumbles something about them being jerks and teleports off after closing the window
- Jitterbug begins to fly to the cops
- <GoodTimes>: He laughs "Whoooooo!"
- <Bucky>: The Boys in Blue are gathered around a small bonfire around them the city is in panic and crime seems to have skyrocketed now that the grid has fallen
- <Jitterbug>: Oh jeez...
- Jitterbug lands down, and lets GoodTimes go
- <BoyinBlue>: "Holy sweet shit on a christmas tree thank fuck you guys are here"
- <BoyinBlue>: "It's all going to shit fast, game over man"
- <BoyinBlue>: "We can handle the crime spree"
- <BoyinBlue>: "That abandoned building right there has a sub basement that connects to the tunnels and sewers the key grid is held in"
- <Jitterbug>: Gotcha, so go down, and restore power?
- <GoodTimes>: "Sounds simple enough. But there's a catch, right?" Andy pipes up.
- <BoyinBlue>: "I wish it was that simple, some of the more ambitious thugs might have started protecting the collapsed power grid, in this day and age a massive bunker holds all the key components to keeping power, it's radiation and signals have a bizarre effect on anything living down there, and if it's broken down the security crew of it might have gone dirty"
- <Jitterbug>: oh Cripes, luckily, I can handle radiation
- Jitterbug says, ever so smugly
- <BoyinBlue>: "Well short term exposure should be harmless"
- BoyinBlue removes his cap and scratches his balding head
- <GoodTimes>: "Alright, so how do we fix it?" he asks.
- <BoyinBlue>: "But with all the heat it provides and all the animals that flock to the resevoir around it all kinds of creeps live down there"
- <GoodTimes>: [welp. Last I saw was my "how do we fix it" post.]
- <BoyinBlue>: didn't miss anything]
- <BoyinBlue>: Just clear the way and a repair crew will be following behind you"
- <Jitterbug>: sounds good to me
- <BoyinBlue>: The grid could either be damaged or just disconnected"
- <GoodTimes>: "Alright, sounds good to me. We'll have those punks cleared out in no time." he says with a chuckle.
- BoyinBlue nods and takes gulp of coffee
- Jitterbug picks GoodTimes up, and flies him to the sewers
- <Jitterbug>: you gonna pop up there, Wrong_Way?
- <Jitterbug>: ]
- <GoodTimes>: "Alright, Bella. Ya know how they mentioned radiation?" he asks.
- <Wrong_Way>: [nah, i need to take a shower]
- <Jitterbug>: Yeah?
- <GoodTimes>: "I think we might need to sync up for this. Ya know, for safety reasons." he explains "Besides, I don't think we need two separate folks to take care of some street thugs."
- <GoodTimes>: "I don't mean right now, I mean at some point."
- <Jitterbug>: Oh, jeez, I don't know, you want me inside of you?
- <GoodTimes>: He frowns "Ha ha. It's not like it's the first time we've done that." he groans "So get all the laughs outta your system."
- <Jitterbug>: What?
- <Jitterbug>: What laughs?
- Jitterbug looks down at GoodTimes
- <BoyinBlue>: They arrive at the doors of a rundown old building, from the late 90s it appears, windows are boarded up and a couple police stand in front keeping watch, the whole place reeks of dead dreams and capitalism it looks like it was a bookstore at one time
- <GoodTimes>: He rolls his eyes.'
- Jitterbug sets GoodTimes down
- <GoodTimes>: He cricks his neck, followed by his knuckles "Alright, let's do this." he chuckles.
- Jitterbug grabs the boards, and rips them off the door
- <GoodTimes>: "I think you'd be best to lead us through. You'll have an easier time tracking them than I will."
- <Jitterbug>: Got it
- Jitterbug walks through the doorway
- <BoyinBlue>: The building has dust motes hanging in the air, and knocked over shelves
- Jitterbug looks for any pocket books to snack on for later
- <GoodTimes>: "Bella, I can get you snacks whenever, ya know?" he sighs "You don'
- <GoodTimes>: t have to pick up snacks off the floor."
- <BoyinBlue>: The shelves seem like good craftsmenship hand made, a few stray books lie about their all old ancient and sophisticated for the most part, and elevated desk sits in the far right corner, a chalkboard with philosophy written on it hangs in the corner
- <Jitterbug>: Andy, one man's book is another bug's food, I can't give up an opportunity like this!
- <BoyinBlue>: A lone couch sits in a readers corner surrounded by what remains of a rotted out carpet
- <BoyinBlue>: The place has a salty and bookish smell hanging in the air, somewhat stale but somehow newer than the air outside
- <GoodTimes>: "...I guess." he mumbles, popping in food and eating it.
- <Jitterbug>: Eh, nothing here anyways, shall we go on?
- <BoyinBlue>: stacks on stacks of bank notes and things pile up and spill around the desk
- <GoodTimes>: "Yep."
- <Jitterbug>: Let's see...
- <BoyinBlue>: Theres a hallway to a tiled room in the back several doors are knocked down along with what appears to be a large set of stairs
- Jitterbug sniffs the air to find the general direction of the people
- <BoyinBlue>: The rusted and stoic entryway to the cities underworld is all that seems to have been maintained
- <BoyinBlue>: what people]
- <Jitterbug>: the people near the key
- <Jitterbug>: []
- <BoyinBlue>: Its a one way stairwell broh]
- <GoodTimes>: [Well you said there were folks down here.]
- <Jitterbug>: jitters has great smelling]
- <GoodTimes>: [She's sniffing for peoples.]
- <GoodTimes>: [Casting Detect Life]
- Jitterbug biegins heading for the entryway
- <BoyinBlue>: The faint scent of rot and rust flows from the stairs
- <BoyinBlue>: There are at least a dozen people down below
- <Jitterbug>: Hmmm, be careful down there
- <BoyinBlue>: i mean we're talking a few miles of sewers labyrinth and tunnels and things]
- Jitterbug heads into the abyssssssssssss
- <GoodTimes>: [ugh I'm sorry, but I need to go to bed. I had a long day and I'm bushed.]
- <GoodTimes>: [Could we continue this tomorrow?]
- <BoyinBlue>: [guess we're done here then]
- <Jitterbug>: night GoodTimes ]
- <BoyinBlue>: [probably not]
- <GoodTimes>: oh okay.]
