Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
Front Door
:yuk:
Moff 104 is pushed away. He hits 103, and they both go to the ground. Moff 104 is making horrible faces and spitting and gagging. "Blugh! You are like the worst. kisser. EVER! You're like the ANTI-BUTLER!"
He finally decides the **** with this, and dives through a portal to look for something very very strong.
Moff 103 gets back to his feet. "Er, on the advice of my fellow me, I will waive the second kiss." Moff scribbles a note and hands it to Thorium. "If anyone else who looks like me offers to kiss you, show them this. Please."

Once Thorium and the droids enter, Moff 103 will lock the door again.
Inside, they'll find the base vandalized as in previous posts. The main room is too hot for human life forms. Possibly too hot for genetically engineered supersoldiers as well, since presumably they still are mostly made of water. I doubt even Prometheus could work out a way for non-magical beings to survive at magma temperatures without an external cooling suit, but I could be wrong.
It's a shame too, because The Birth of Taul is very well done, and now no one can see it until the room is habitable again. :smallfrown:

He stops there breathing hard and slowly regaining the power to stand up again.
He just hops she isn't that mad at him, but it was some kind of reflex.
[Outside of the Unpolluted, Non-defaced, Non-hazardous, and Styling Base of the Past]
Nah! Clarissa won't be infuriated on account of Zefir's counterattack. She actually thinks it was kind of ingenious to use her second easiest exploitable weakness against her! So everything is fine! Unless Zefir goes around blabbing the secret to every single person who resides in the Nexus. That would make her job much more difficult as she would have to adjust her battle strategies and methods in response to the newly emerging threat!
Sparring's point is to train people how to protect themselves/beat up the other guy in comparatively safe environments. Discomfort is standard fare in battle simulations.
Clarissa stands where she once stood as a dragon, continuing to rub her back in mild distress. It is nothing to worry about, really.
Though a coat would be more than valuable to her right about now.
So she conjures one up out of thin air! It is a faux fur coat, made entirely of synthetic fibers that are eco-friendly and just as fashionable as the real thing if not more so!
"C-c-cold!"
"Y-you have proven that y-you c-c-can handle yourself well enough to receive a d-dragon egg."
Clarissa shivers.
She could go for a warm bath.
Hmm... First give Zefir the egg, then go take a long, hot shower! This has the makings of an exemplary plan!
"Follow me."
Clarissa turns around and starts walking back toward the base! Straight to her room, more specifically!

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
[Outside the Past base getting Into the past Base]
A weakness? Oh my God...TO THE WALL! Eh yea let's say he don't really see it as a weakness just a lucky moment for him. Hopefully she won't try to intimidate him.
He follows right after her still breathing hard.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
[Clarissa's Dungeon Room - The Past]
Clarissa will proceed to trudge to this location, then! She halts outside of it, patting herself down in an attempt to scour her body for her room key, an attempt which appears to be doomed to failure-
No! Wait! She's got it! She plucks her key out of one of the large, compartmentalized inner pockets of her shirt!
Hold it! No shirts Clarissa owns have inner pockets! Those shirts would be far too drab and unfashionable (not to mention ugly on her).
So she pulled it out of her body, then. She stores keys exactly like she does most other items she finds in her possession.
"I'm going to go into that room. You can accompany me if you wish, on the condition that you don't wander off and get lost."
Clarissa unlocks and opens the door to her sunny, hot lair!
It is a tad empty in here at the moment.
Save a marble pedestal shaped like a hand cradling a blue-spotted dragon's egg which Clarissa will attempt to pass to Zefir.
"I don't know about you, but I need a shower. You can tag along if you want to talk to me more about stuff, but you'll need to resist the urge to scream if I happen to pipe in water that melts your eyeballs out, okay? I only say that because I'll be flooding my stall with steam fresh out of the lava water heating and purification system we've implemented."
"At least, I think that's what it is..."
The yet again confused Clarissa then trots off to dip herself in the closest thing she can attain to water-lava. Zefir can now choose to follow her or leave with his dragon egg!
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
[Clarissa's Dungeon Crawling- The Past]
"Actually I would need a shower as well, but just in case I can't stand such a heat. I'm still a human after all. And if you flood the whole room i'm sure I won't survive. So Even if I liked to talk to you I think I should go. Alive is better than dead."
He will tend to leave with the egg if he did understand her right. I don't think cooked Zefir tasts well.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
[Off to the Showers and the Future!]
Actually, Clarissa wasn't planning on filling the whole room to the brim with piping hot steam. She was only going to pack her region of the showers with it. The bath room is large enough for something going on at one end of it not to harm the other, I do believe from my impression of it.
Plus, Clarissa wouldn't intentionally offer Zefir something that would definitely hurt him.
"Suit yourself. You're only going to make me enjoy that hot, steamy room all on my lonesome."
"Catch you later!"
Clarissa begins to casually stroll away! Off to the showers!
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
[After Missunderstanding in Clarissa's Room]
Actually I really thought she steams up the room. Yeah that would have cause mayn damage. He will go to his room.
Eh what size has the egg? I mean he don't really wants to leave it but if irs to big he can't really carry it along the whole time.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
Just Past the Entrance
"It's not a skill I've practiced, nor intend to! In fact, it's absolutely disgusting." Thorium snaps, taking the card and leaning up against the wall to regain his breath... Rib fractures, no matter how thin, hurt.
And technically speaking, Prometheus might be able to design such a creature, given enough time, but any lifeform that could survive in magma or similar climes would be nowhere near human- more likely a mineral based lifeform with a heat-resistant exoskeletal carapace. Nor for that matter could they be made any larger than, say, an insect. In short, possible but probably not efficient.
For now, Thorium waits for HK.
Security Room
One of Prometheus's supersoldiers arrives here, giving a sharp rap on the door. Unless someone answers quickly or the door is somehow locked, the armored clone will just push the door open and walk inside, the knock little more than a warning in case the henchmen have already set up entrenchments.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
Security Room
The door is locked, actually, and rather surprisingly.
Inside can be heard the sound of some rather uproarious laughter, and... the distant sound of explosions? :smallconfused:
One of the voices is more mechanical than the other.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
Security Room
Some of the laughter sounds rather Moffish as well.
"Oh man... and then the fire started... FWOOSH!" :smallbiggrin:
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
[Somewhere in AMEN's Past]
The egg? Oh, that's roughly the size of a human head. As long as Zefir keeps it moderately warm, the precious little baby dragon dwelling inside of it will live. There is one rule clarifying this point that must be followed at all times. Don't put the egg in an environment where the heat levels are lower than what they are at room temperature. That will cause the baby dragon to die. After it hatches, that won't be much of an issue, but as is, the helpless thing can't generate enough heat all on its own to keep itself comfortably warm. Clarissa went over all of this stuff with Zefir already, so I doubt any harm will come to the dragon egg.
I have a plan for an event which shall occur when the egg hatches too! It is going to bond the dragon to Zefir forever on top of being unbelievably cute! :smallbiggrin:
Off in the AMEN washroom, Clarissa showers! Soapy suds are all the rage in showers, so Clarissa has a ton of them coating her from head to toe!

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
[Somewhere in AMEN's Past]
Having the ability to manipulate the elements I bet he won#t have that much of a problem also he could train his skills since even the small thing he used in the fight cost a huge amount of power. So we'r done now and chars merge back to there real one which in his case means back to Outside.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
[Security Hallway]
There's the sound of time and space rending as a shadowspace window - which looks suspiciously like a Stargate hyperspace window, except leading to the Plane of Shadows instead of hyperspace, of course - opens.
Becky, in her slinky new outfit, steps out, then looks back to await the arrival of her Mistress.
Oh, and that other minion she keeps forgetting the name of. Val somethingorother. :smalltongue:

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
Door
Well, Marciano and Grantaire are back! Except now it seems they have made quite a huge profit. The pair of kleptomaniac halflings walk up to the door and knock. Marciano looks nothing like he used to. Now he's dressed in extremely expensive clothes. He wears a silver satin pair of trousers, along with a belt made of real gold. The halflings hat is even bigger! And now decked out in peacock feathers. The halfling has a new bright blue tailed petticoat with real platinum buttons. Each of the buttons have Marciano's own insignia printed on them. He wears a silk orange cape with red outlines. The halfling has clean white gloves with silver buttons. The halfling has his hair perfectly cleaned and tied in a ponytail. However the halflings eyes are covered by deep shades. The halfling knocks on the door loudly, Knock, Knock! The halfling even walks differently. He smokes a very long cigar. Grantaire is dressed in a halfling trenchcoat and carries a set of keys.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!

The sign remains on the door
AMEN: Under new management.
Membership open to hotties only.
But no one answers. At least no Moff answers. I suppose Thorium might choose to.

Ilpholin does pull Valente along, yes. Not that he needs encouragement. She steps out of the portal and takes a quick look around.
Takes note of the supersoldier at the Security room entrance.
"You're dismissed private." She'll tell him.
Before glancing at Becky. "Inside the room there if you would, please?"
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
[Security Hallway]
Yes, Valente has indeed followed along, more than willingly. He stands ready to do whatever Ilpholin asks, especially protecting her.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
[Security Hallway]
Becky nods, and will rend time and space to the Shadow Plane to take them directly to the desired room!

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
Security Room
"I don't take orders from you." Barry replies, although even before the portal opened behind him he was turning to leave anyway. They did promise to go away quietly after all, and with the henchmen squarely upon Ilpholin's side, there's little point in breaking that promise.
At least according to the commanders there isn't. The actual soldiers would love nothing more than an excuse to wreak some havoc on the way out... But unless such an excuse is provided, Barry will indeed leave AMEN's new leader to her business.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
Security Room
Ilpholin watches Barry go for a bit, before stepping into the room proper.
And giving Stu a proper beating after getting hit on a bit. Primarily just to get him out of the way for now. She's got things to do. She also tells Moff to move, though in a far less painful way. After asking Happy, he does.
Anyways, Ilph hits the base intercom button after getting the room occupants to stay silent for 1 minute. No easy feat with AMENites, but somehow it gets done. The intercom crackles.
"Ahem. Attention. For those of you were somehow not at the grand battle of the century, the results are in. I, Ilpholin, am your new leader from this point forth. Now, I understand that in this trying and exciting time you probably have many questions. And they will get answered in due time."
"For now, simply know that all contracts Gordon has made previously, with exception to the one resulting in me taking command, are now null and void. Do not worry. This does not mean your place in AMEN is gone, with the due exception of Prometheus and Company, who are leaving as per the agreement. But for the rest of you who worked directly under Gordon, you now have a choice."
"You may at any time between now and tomorrow leave peacefully if you so choose. The rest of you who stay should contact me in my office tomorrow morning and we will do what we can to ensure your place as a bright, productive member of AMEN is secure."
"In the meantime, though, there will be a celebration held in one hour to usher in the new age. Get your party hats on and let's party like only AMEN knows how!"
That ends the message broadcast to the base. Of course, Ilpholin will have to repeat it once everyone actually gets back from the field, but those who stayed back in the first place are the ones who needed to know the most.
She'll turn to Valente. "Head around the base and keep an eye out for trouble. The really bad kind, not the good kind."
She turns to Becky and points at a nearby monitor displaying the Main Room. Of course, Ilpholin can't see anything in there. It's all just steam covering the lens. "Check that out real quick. Be wary."

Marciano continues to knock.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!

Moff 101 looks at Ilpholin with his jaw dropped. So that's where everyone was!
Gordon... dethroned? Prometheus... gone?
That has got to be the best news ever! Good enough to be willing to relinquish the Moffocracy. Moff doesn't even make a peep.
"Yes ma'am!" he says, and pulls a hat out of nowhere.
It is a nice hat.

"You got it."
...and to the main room, she heads. Cautiously.

"Will do." Valente lights up at the chance to please Ilpholin. He immediately sets off to patrol the base. Or the front most parts at least. No use getting lost again. <.<

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!

Ilpholin stays here for now, slumping into a chair with a sigh and leaning against the wall.
She glances at Moff.
"Nice hat."
But otherwise rests for a bit.

"Thanks!" Moff says. "You should have seen it, Ilphy, this guy totally blew himself up inside a pillow fort!" :smallbiggrin:
Assuming Ilpholin still has a phone, and it's still operational, a text message is coming through on it.
Otherwise, not. :smalltongue:

Ummm, the main room is full of lava and water and boil your flesh off steam right now. She may not want to go in there now.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
Main Room
((When did that happen?:smallconfused:))
Anyways, if there is that stuff in the Main Room, that means Megan has set up a small barricade to prevent the lava and water from going into the portal into the BioLab(Property of Megan and Seltz).
However, Becky might notice that the security measures for the portal's entrance has been increased. She heard Magtok was in the battle but not his exact role. And seeing how Magtok provided the labspace for her...this was a logical idea in her mind.
Such security measures are several panther bots guarding it.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
Atlantis Base
The atlantis base, part of AMEN, but mostly forgotten. The key word is mostly. Gordon had sent a number of henchmen down here to run the place, and they are the primary occupents.
Now, Rogar, Sweetums, and the ogre henchmen carrying Gordon's body are teleported here.
"Alright, let's get him to the healing pool."
"But Rogar, he dead. Pool can't fix that."
"True, it can't fix death, but he isn't dead. Not yet, so get him into the pool."
With these instructions, the ogres lower Gordon into the pool of healing water found within this seat of villainy. There, he will have the needed healing he requires to survive, and where he will wait, for his return.

In that case, a force-field bubble protects the shadowcaster the moment she pops into the room.
