The Escapist Avatar Adventure: An Open RP (Now Re-Opened!)

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Unreal World : The Plane: Darren

Darren was frightened as first when the Dragon walked in, Caim was bad, but he reckoned that her on a bad day was even worse.
Somehow.
"I swear on my hopefully short, painful and rather pathetic life, I did not plan, conspire or even DREAM of this happening.
And I'm not just saying that because Caim is in your head listening as we're talking." He said as he took another long drink of his Vodka, shuddering from the strength of it.
"All...All I wanted...was one thing....one thing...That I could find....escapism in...Now look at me. If I thought things were bad then...Well....At least then I wasn't sitting in a dirty restroom drinking my woes away around people who hate my mere existance! Heahahahhahah..." He laughed, a few sobs slipping down as he did.
"...I am 18 years old, yet look at me....This is my fucking life....Tell Caim if he wants to kill me, go ahead. Because I'm already in hell. At least 6 feet under, I won't do no harm to anyone else." He said before going for another swig, spilling the contents down his shirt.
".....For what it's worth....I'm sorry.....for everything........And this. This is me paying for my sins....
It's actually kinda funny....Back before all this, I thought every fucking day of blasting my damn brains out across a wall.
So I started creating.
Now, I'm right back where I fucking started! Hehehee*sniff*hahahahah-wahahahah*Sob*" He laughed as it slowly broke down into a crying wreak.

AA : Rising Dawn : Rugal

I was wondering when that was going to happen.
"WHOAJESUS!" Rugal cried out as he fell backwards in surprise at the Cage appearing in front of him.
"Holy...Are you ok? Look, just hold on, We'll get you out." He said, appearing to be genuinely worried for Melethia's Well being.
"Okay, it seems like the Tool Pouch, the one you used to disable those pressure plates. Just let me see if I can't get this to you." He said over the humming of the generator.
He reached into the bag and picked up a small nail before lobbing it at the Cage to see what effect it'd have on items going in and out.

He reached into the bag and picked up a small nail before lobbing it at the Cage to see what effect it'd have on items going in and out.

The nail became a vapor as it touched the cube. "Um, yeah... how about we don't try that again? Take a look around for anything looking or sounding off. I'd check myself, but I can barely move here. My shoes are fine, but I'd rather not stay here way too long..." Her voice wavered slightly as she spoke. It seems she doesn't like being in really tight spaces with nowhere to move.

That persistent humming from the generator was beginning to get annoying, and it might also have the side effect of drawing unwanted attention.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Like Half Life 2

Highly concentrated. So this is what he was spending my money on
The color seemed to fade from Rugal's face.
"Oh my god...Ok, It's alright. I'll get you out...Somehow...uhhh..."
And thus the hard part began, he had a fair idea of how to disable it, but he had to do it in a manner that looked like he had no idea what he was doing.
"Right....what if I used that stuff to melt the floor so you could get out?...." He asked as he rooted though the pouch.
"....Jesus Christ, there is so much stuff in here!" He exclaimed as he managed to fit his entire arm into the pouch without it coming close to ending.
"THIS ISN'T POSSIBLE!"
Hammerspace? With Zero Tech? Amazing...

"Right....what if I used that stuff to melt the floor so you could get out?...." He asked as he rooted though the pouch.

A tinge of panic entered her voice. "Wheathair, don't you dare do that! We don't know what's under that area, and there could be a failsafe there as well. Just tell me if anything sounds or looks odd here, and I'll try to walk you through it."

Rugal could barely see a few areas around the cage that were very slightly raised up, each around one meter apart.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Snip

Once he was gone checking out the Bag of Holding, Rugal got back to the task at hand.
"Right...There are sections of the ground that are raised. Think they help project the field...thingy." He said as he laid down to get a better look at them.
He also kept a ear out for the Hum of the Power Source to try and locate it.

She nodded very slightly, losing a small amount of hair in the process. "Pry them open with the stiletto in there. It'll have a green grip." Rugal found the knife and unsheathed it to find that it has a black blade.

After prying the plates off the floor, he found the a cluster of wires next to small nodules. From what Rugal could tell, the girl was directly above the generator as well. Some of the wires seemed to go between the nodules, while others went directly to the center.

"Okay, from what I can see from the two in front of me, it looks fairly complex. Now, do a small test with the stiletto on one of the nodules, see if you can get some of the wires around one of them separated."

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

This is like 24.

"Okay, Now just stay still." Rugal said as he began to do as he was told, a small bead of sweat beginning to flow down the side of his head.
"Right, it seems like the wires go from each node to the Power Source which seems to be right underneath you and to the other nodes. Perhaps if I cut the ones going to the power, I can shut down the field at that location. But it's your call, Your the expert." He explained, still half tempted to just call Viscus and have him remotely shut it down.
The kid dies on my watch, I ain't getting the power to travel to other realms...

Her mind raced, thinking it out. It could be like that, but that felt too simple. If it were her designing the field, she'd set that up like that as a distraction...

"Wheathair, search more around those nodes. Do not touch the wires leading to the generator, do you hear me?" The young girl spoke with a voice of authority.

Another search around the node behind Melethia to her left revealed a few wires leading away to the wall and a fuse box, and underneath the cord leading to the generator was another wire leading back to the fuse box.



CAPTCHA: slender man is slender

"And he'd better stay the hell away!"

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Lol Slenderman

Still, It could be possible that there was nothing I could do....
Nah, It'd take too long to turn her around...unless I just go direct and have her kidnapped...But then I'd spend the whole time watching Bruiser to make sure he didn't kill her. Decisions, Decisions... Rugal thought as he discovered the fuse box wire.
"Think we might be in luck, Found some wires for both the nodes and the Power leading to a fuse box, Give me a minute..." He said as he opened it up.
"Right, now which one..."

 

[bluerocker]

Time to slap some sense into him

Angelus rolled her eyes, being fully aware of the kind of person Darren was. She bent down on a knee to Darren's level, and lightly flicked the human in the forehead, "Neither myself, Caim or the creature known as Ton Ton will make attempts to kill you. That much our Writer has explicitly made clear. Well, she wrote. Anyway, she 'said' that she did not blame you for Bruiser's attack upon herself or I. She understands that we, as the Gods did before you, created beings with free will, and as a result, the choices Bruiser made were not blamed as your own. Finally, she 'says' that whenever you get your head out of your.... What was the phrase... Get your head out of your rear end, she would like you to speak to her."

She lightly patted Darren's side, and walked back to her Writer (wanting to keep her allies from disobeying Teri's requests).

 

[bluecrimson]

"Think we might be in luck, Found some wires for both the nodes and the Power leading to a fuse box, Give me a minute..." He said as he opened it up.
"Right, now which one..."

She strained to get a better view, but could hardly see the box over the field. "Start with that fuse box, Wheathair. Check for the fuses that are different from the others first, find out what they lead to."

A small check revealed three fuses that were unusually thin and two that had a much heavier gauge. Looking at the two with a much heavier gauge revealed that one went to the nodes, and one went directly to the generator. The thinner ones all seemed to be related to the first wires that led to the generator.

Meanwhyle, Rugal thought he faintly heard footsteps down the hall while he tried to work his way through this.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Unreal : Plane : Darren

Darren let out another sigh as Angelus left, Just even after all that Teri wanted to see him.
...Man, what the hell do I say?....What CAN I say?... He asked himself as began to clean himself up a little.
I mean, not like I can just say sorry I nearly got you raped. I need something to really show how sorry I am. But what?!

AA : Rising Dawn : Rugal

Right...One of these should go to the power... Rugal thought as he examined the fuses.
"Ok...There are 3 small ones for each node and 2 bigger ones for the nodes and the power. I'm going to remove the one for the power. Just hang tight, It's nearly over..." He announced before he made a attempt to remove it.

"Ok...There are 3 small ones for each node and 2 bigger ones for the nodes and the power. I'm going to remove the one for the power. Just hang tight, It's nearly over..." He announced before he made a attempt to remove it.

Melethia raised an eyebrow. Two? If it were powering only the generator, you'd only need one. Unless the other was a failsafe... "Wheathair, you need to get both of them removed at the same time, understand? Only removing one might mess this up horribly!"

The faint footsteps increased in speed to a full sprint, but it only sounded like one set. Whoever it was had good reason to move quickly.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

At the same time? uh oh.

Knew I should have brought the robotic hand...
"Uhhhh...Ok, just gimme a second..." Rugal said as he rooted though the tool pouch to get something he could use to remove them both.
Settling on a small rod, he slid it behind the two fuses, his hand holding it at the gap inbetween them.
"Alright, Move on my 3. 3. 2. 1. NOW!" He counted down before he pulled back on the rod, tearing the two fuses off at once.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Here we go

After a dozen glasses of Sink Water to help flush the Vodka out and some drying, Darren finally got the nerve to exit the Bathroom, still coated in the stench of Vodka and tears.
"Right....Whew...here we go..." He said as he began to walk over to where Teri was.
He began to slow down as he got closer to Caim, He knew Angelus would stay true to her word, but he was another story altogether.
The warrior watched as he pulled over a chair next to Teri.
".....uhhhmmmm......Hey....I....err.....got the message from.....yeah.........Are you....ok?..." He asked, well aware he was still watching and not at all impressed.

 

[bluecrimson]

Ouch...

When he tore off both fuses the sound of a light spark could be heard, and the field rapidly gained power. Melethia started trembling, obviously trying her best to not show her fear. "Um, Wheathair, check to see if there's any other fuses or wires leading to the box... please?"

However, no matter how much he looked at it, he needed another hand to move the box around at all with how it was wedged in there. Since he left his prosthetic hand, though, that wasn't going to happen. The odds of finding someone on the ship that didn't recognize him were...

[color=c20000]"Melethia!"[/color]

...quite good, it seemed.

 

[bluerocker]

She's still happy to see you

Teri's face lit up when Darren approached, and, with a Tablet PC (kindly *poofed* by Mark) with the name "Dimitri" engraved in silver letters across it's top, she wrote with a stylus:

"Darren! It's good to see you among the living."

Her brow furrowed a little, and she wrote,

"I was afraid something might have happened... Especially with your habit towards.... Unhealthy perceptions of fault. Anyway, are you doing okay?"

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

AA : Rising Dawn : Rugal

Good, She'll open up to the one who saved her daughter.
"SLINDIS! STAY BACK! THAT FIELD WILL FRY YOU!" Rugal warned as she arrived.
"Just walk around and over to me. I can shut it down but I need your help." He said as he waved her over with his stump.
"Right...What we need to do is to move the Fuse box while I move that rod there. I'd do it myself but my means are limited. It has to be at the same time otherwise...That won't happen though, trust me."
The hum of the power source grew louder as he reached in and grabbed the rod.
"When you're ready."

Unreal : Plane : Darren

Darren was rather surprised to see Teri like this, Given Bruiser's near "Compete Monster" Status and his fondness for hurting women.
"Uhhh...why are you...Err...Yeah...I'er....I'm ticking over, you know...just...errr..." He said taking long pauses, clearly still extremely un-nerved by Caim's presence.
"Actually, I was...A little airsick...on the err...trip over...Don't fly much....And....Yourself?" He asked back, wondering why she was typing this out.

 

[bluecrimson]

"Right...What we need to do is to move the Fuse box while I move that rod there. I'd do it myself but my means are limited. It has to be at the same time otherwise...That won't happen though, trust me."
The hum of the power source grew louder as he reached in and grabbed the rod.
"When you're ready."

Slindis immediately moved over to the fuse box, and the two lifted it up. There was one last wire that was fairly thick even after it branched off to six sections, one of which was attached to the fusebox. [color=c20000]"How in Khyber did this setup happen?"[/color] Slindis' presence calmed the young girl somewhat, but the fear was still there

"Mom, what do you see there?" Melethia could hardly see, the field was so bright.

The drow shouted back, [color=c20000]"Large wire, splits off into six seperate cables! Broker, you think this is the power source?"[/color]
