He pauses thoughtfully, before taking a gun out from his robe and rotating it about in his hand while mulling something over. "Hrm...speaking of which, do you know if that whole 'I'll kill anyone who hurts Pink' shadowcaster girl is still around? I was kinda wondering if your brainmeats were the same color as your name, and well..." Maggy's just trying to mess with her, maybe prompt her to run away screaming and forfeit while he's still leading by one point in this argument.

Pink flinches at the remark, and scowls deeply.
"Shut up. It isn't my fault you PCs abuse your power. Took me months and a couple of deaths to get rid of that mind control..." :smallyuk:
Though it is her fault for joining an evil organization as a minion. What did she expect? She glowers at Magtok, and eyes the gun he's holding.
"Pfft. You're too cowardly to kill someone offhand and in person for no reason." :smallannoyed:
She sounds a wee bit uncertain, however. Magtok is still an AMENite.

"I should kill you because you're competition. You can create life out of nothing more than a mere sample of DNA. I and my creators are in the same business. And if you think threatening me with your "friends" will elecit any response but scorn, think again." Prometheus says, glaring at Rael. He hates this sort. The kind who think that, even once they have clearly lost, they still have any ability to intimidate him. "And it appears my friends have finished setting up that dungeon. I'll be seeing you once I decide your fate."
With that, four drones, all armed, arrive. Two attempt to grab Rael by either arm, the other two standing guard, and should that succeed they will lead him away.

Legion appears, holding one of the largest gemstones anyone in the room is ever likely to see. She certainly seems to like it.

Gordon sighs at the chaos going on around him, but that's normal when certain members are around. Then he spots Legion holding the gem, which puts a large smile on his face.
"Legion, your'e back! And you got the gem, excellent! Boys, get the decorations out, we are going to have a party."
The henchmen move out, going to get things for the party.

Unless somehow stopped, Sarah slides a small hidden dagger out of her sleeve and begins working on subtly and quietly cutting any bindings that are on her. She wouldn't try to cut through all the way, but she would try to thin it to the point where she could break them any moment she chose to. If there aren't any bindings, she'll try to cut at the net bindings.

Karyana hisses in pain and anger, as the tentacles are eaten at by the goo. She tries to wipe the stuff off on Nephrim.

A nervous tap-tap-tapping on the door.

In other words, someone is standing right outside the door and knocking on it. She is nervous and breathing on said door. This is only her second time applying for a job, you see. That, as most people can tell you, is a harrowing experience that most find quite intimidating at first.

"Perhaps. Or, seeing as he would probably want to release you, perhaps I'll "forget" and kill you anyway. My apologies, by the way. I do wish such barbaric methods were not necessary." Prometheus says, and the Drones will drag Rael away, down to the stairs into the main part of the laboratory, then down yet another flight of stairs, this time to a ten by ten room, utterly windowless with only a single door, a ten inch slab of steel, and two sets of manacles.
That done, Prometheus turns to Sarah, who is not in any way bound except for the golden net, which is slightly stronger than steel wire, although it won't restrict her movements. Assuming she can actually cut it with the hidden knife, she'll probably make some progress on freeing herself. "Now. Who would you be? I am Prometheus."

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

She'll have made some progress cutting, to the point where she could probably break the net enough to stick her head through without further use of the knife. It's made of Silverite and enchanted for sharpness, so it shouldn't have immense difficulty getting through the golden wire. That said, the damage shouldn't be very visible unless one was looking for it, and even then it might be missed if one was looking from the outside.
She'll stop cutting and re-conceal the knife up her sleeve when Prometheus turns to her.
"Sarah Bloodchanter. I assume you're AMEN's little torturer?"
She's mocking him very slightly, but it's rather obvious.

Karyana's elbows form long spikes. She tries to sink one of these into Nephrim's side.

"No." Her mocking is utterly ignored! "I have no intention of torturing you. If you refuse to answer, I will simply tear the information I want out of your skull and kill you. Now, why are you after Stu?" It appears he hasn't noticed the damage to the net. The net will still hamper any attempts to use magic unless she's completely free of it, so at the moment he still has the upper hand.

Sarah grins. Now that she knows he doesn't do torture, she's going to trounce his logic with her own. :smallamused:
Yeah, right. I know how you guys play. You couldn't care less if I died, and you wouldn't bother nonviolently interrogating me if you could just take the information whenever you wanted. Even if you could, I'm pretty sure whatever that Eldritch Horror was, it wanted me alive for that "date" with Stu. Would you really take the risk of pissing it off?
Sarah grins even wider. It may be worth noting that Mages usually have either Intelligence or Charisma as their best stat, and hers probably isn't Charisma.
"I'll play your game though, since it's probably more enjoyable than a serious date with a lecherous flower. The intention was to lure him out for a third party."

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
[Front Entrance]
There's a woman standing at the door dressed in a brown business suit with a white dress shirt and tie! Her nose is small, but it still has that regal quality to it. Her rosy red lips, curved upward into an anxious little forced smile, and cheeks, tinted with a hint of red (as the girl is somewhat embarassed about being here under these circumstances (job hunting makes her feel undignified and far too reliant upon others for her tastes)), stand in clear contrast to the milky white of her skin. Her eyes are enchanting facets of immaculate emeralds. Her long, silky, raven black hair hangs limply around her shoulders, resting upon the collar of her suit jacket. Her build is athletic and attractive. She is very curvy, to say the least. She has a sweet, stunning face and small, delicate hands. A striking birthmark planted in the center of her right cheek adds even more character to her kind face and even kinder body.
"Erm...I'm seeking employment in your organization. You wouldn't happen to have any available positions at this moment, would you?"
The young woman (for she can be no older than twenty-one years agewise) fidgets with the black tie tightly wrapped about her neck. She finds collars absolutely repulsive! She hates them with a passion, but sacrifices must be made for the greater evil!
This girl really doesn't seem like she would fit in well at AMEN, what with all the crazies running about these days.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

Rael will find his attempts hindered by the Drones holding his arms, although he might be able to overpower them, and more importantly, by the fact that the two Drones not holding him have just opened fire, each one aiming at a different one of his hearts. They know it won't kill him. But the bullets will cauterize the wounds, hopefully slowing or preventing healing, and the message is clear. They will kill him if he fights.
Prometheus's Lab
Obviously she isn't a Wisdom based caster either, or else she might have considered that maybe Prometheus is just a pretty nice guy, at least for a villain, and would rather spare her being tortured/mindraped/forced into a date with Stu.
Believe what you will, as long as you continue "humoring" my questions. Who is this third party?" Prometheus says, continuing to ignore her misguided taunts.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

Nephrim's fed up of this, and uses her free wrist blade to swing at Karyana's neck. Karyana killed Nephrim's favourite minion and most trusted servant, the one being about whom Nephrim would almost not be lying if she stated him her friend.
Kitchen
Nothing floating around seems to be unusual, the standard array of pots, pans and other kitchen implements plus porcelain items for eating from and other kitchen-y things. And Sweetums, of course.
If Sweetums looks through the cupboards, he may note the small bronze cylinder in one of them. It's still listening to gravity, even though nothing else is.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

Of course she isn't Wisdom-based! If she had a half-decent Wisdom score, she would have had a better plan for getting Stu out! Like maybe setting up something that didn't involve literally walking into AMEN! :smalltongue:

Ooh, a mook.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

Nephrim is sprayed with venom and temporarily blinded. Her response is to push the wrist blade impaling Karyana's heart further into Karyana's body until what is left of her hand can grip the remains of the organ. At which point, Nephrim will try to pull it out.
Her other hand goes up again before coming down onto Karyana's neck. She has no idea how many blows would be needed for this.

The bronze cylinder can be picked up easily; it doesn't resist hands. It feels unusually warm. It's quite well polished, though it couldn't serve as a mirror and not solely due to its size. When it is picked up, gravity returns to normal.

Karyana's heart is pulled out. Which... Doesn't do much, other than let the wound heal. And the heart inside start to grow back. The neck wound heals when she pulls out her wristblade.
Karyana's eyes unseal, and she keeps trying to stab Nephrim with the elbow spikes.

The girl from outside the door steps into the Main Room in a very guarded, cautious manner. She gawks at her surroundings a fair bit. This place looked kinda like Dave's living room! There was a television and a couch.
Hmm...
"Exactly how much violence happens here? Not too much, I would hope. My husband isn't very fond of pointless violence, though he does understand that mine is a necessity and obviously cannot be dispensed with."

Of course I wasn't alone! I was with Mr. Blooddrinker you just sent off. As for the organization...
She allows for a dramatic pause.

Incompetent? Oh, how you wound me with your words. Perhaps this is all part of some grander plan? Maybe me and my friend are both lying, with a carefully coordinated story? Perhaps we already have agents planted in the organization? Blood Mages can control the blood in a man's mind, after all...
Leader? Not really. I mean, there is one, but he, and I say he because I have no idea what gender it has, isn't dumb enough to give his name out even to his members, and speaks through a statue rather than actually being physically present. In short, there really isn't much I can tell you about the Director.
I can tell you he has a great singing voice. That would be pretty fun to see you check for, though. 'Sing, so I can find out if you're the leader of the organization I'm tracking!'

Prometheus's Lab
"I'd say the fact you were unconscious for most of the time your friend was being interrogated gives me some small assurance you aren't coordinating your stories." The fact that there are some significant differences, and that Sarah is a terrible liar, also helps Prometheus reach that conclusion, but he isn't about to say that.

Well, we could have easily done so beforehand if we were planning on being captured for some grand plan...
As for other members? Well, you've already met me and my fellow mage. I've met the Director, though not in person, and one who calls himself...
...Actually, I never did learn his name. He mostly uses ranged weaponry, though. I'm fairly sure he's a sniper. Also, there's a Knife-wielder named Krark, and a Shadowy Figure that I don't know anything about. There's a Psion I don't know, and a demolitions expert. I think we have an intelligence expert who's been spreading listening devices around, too. But I'm not quite sure.

So, depending on what it's worth to ya, I'm willing to negotiate for one or both of their release, to keep my balls rolling if you catch my drift.

"All well and good, but I can hardly go there and fall into whatever trap you expect will kill me unless you actually give me the address."

Gordon shakes his head, a half smile on his face.
"I'm listening, but I hope you have something good to trade for their freedom."

Sarah, for some indiscernible reason, gives him the actual address. This is OOC text because I don't know the actual address.
If you want some real fun, order the Black Shadow. Kills you outright, and quickly. Much more pleasant than being tortured to death, even if you're too civilized to actually do it to your own prisoners.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
I've got entire floor-plans, a network of secret entrances and tunnels, my personal opinion of their security system and an up to date duty roster. That's just scratching the tip boo-bee! What I need from you is an assurance that you don't act on this until my job with them is kaputt, and the aforementioned release of one or more of those squicky folk you have locked up.
The hench's head ticks to the side, and from his ear squelches and tube of grey/white jelly that takes the shape of a flying brain. The hench is otherwise unharmed.
So can we talk?
