"Gordon won't eat me. I'm one of the few people around here who always does what he says." Legion states, matter-of-fact. Though Cyra does succeed in getting to her on one point - mostly the bit about Jasper. "Um... maybe I oughta go help Jasper out?" She's really asking to be let out herself. Cyra's freaking her out.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
Party Van
I can't really blame her for that. Cyra's being over-the-top creepy right now. Or trying to be, anyway. :smalltongue:
Wouldn't he? I'm not quite sure he'd appreciate his personal army being humiliated and him along with it, for being fooled. And even if you're right about Gordon, what do you think will happen when Prometheus comes back?
Cyra grins at the latter statement.
"Go ahead. I'll watch."
Cyra giggles malevolently as she waves her hand slightly, releasing her hold on the door locks. Once again, assuming nothing odd happens, the doors unlock.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
Party Van --> Main Room
Legion hurries from the car, quite eager to be away from Cyra as quickly as possible. Jasper is her second priority, and not getting skinned alive the third.
The Lady starts back inside.
Of course, those posts have given Jasper plenty of time to do... something. Not sure what. He better hope it's not making out with Moffette.

Cyra grins at Legion's sheer terror, and the veil of invisibility passes over her again.

Zefir takes two usb sticks which contain the szenes happening in the Main Room.
"Ok let's have a look who did it. Give me pictures about the whole way the food did in AMEN. maybe we can see it."

Karyana attempts to yank Jasper and Moffette off of the Hatteress, and then, if successful, grab her before she can get up.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
The thunder of hooves broke across the steppe, the pounding of heavy bodies upon iron shod feet ripping across the dry surface of the earth. A scorpion dashed for the cover of the rocks, but not fast enough. The horses came, around and over the small arachnid, stomping legs tearing it to twitching pieces as the maddened beasts tore past, leaving torn soil in their wake. The horses eyes lolled in their heads, they tossed their manes, and white froth dripped from their lips as they whined and screamed under the load of their grim riders. A jerk on the reins and bellowed commands finally slow the rabid rampage of the terrified horses, who pull to a halt, chomping at the bits until their teeth splintered and their gums bled.
There were nine riders upon the ledge of the mesa, looking out onto that nefarious and mysterious place mortal men call AMEN, looking with the harsh, cold eyes of vultures.
The leader is a tall man in a continental suit, a man with the beautiful blue eyes of an angel, if only they weren't so cold. The handle of a large buck knife juts from his belt, next to a pair of silk gloves tucked away. He squints out from beneath the wide, flat, straight brim of his hat. "This is the place." He wheels his staggering, pained animal to face the others. "Black, you're with me. We're going in."
The tall, gaunt, pale man grunts, shrugging his long black coat closer to his emaciated form. His black hair falls in greasy ringlets from beneath a battered top hat, clear to his belt, where two pistol butts jut up from his sides. He walks his horse away, looking for a way down from the mesa. His horse pants and gasps, the skin drawn taut over bones, the flesh greenish. The rider shows no concern for his mount's suffering.
The continental suit then looks at two of the riders who are a bit apart from the rest, looking at them critically. One is a dirty looking fellow, scrawny and small, covered in trail dust. A bandana covers his head and lower mouth, leaving only a small thin line of face and his eyes peeking out. Brown of skin even underneath the dust, he crouches on his horse like a nervous frog, likely to jump or hop at the slightest start. His companion is large, pot bellied, pale white, dressed in black leathers and riding leggings, scratching a stubbly jaw with exaggerated yawn. A black bullwhip rests against his meaty hip. "Vire, Mordarmaskin, I want you to go find me some people. Young ones. Check GLoG, I've heard they've got some kids running around, and they haven't had bite for ages."
Vire, the dusty man, nods once and turns at once to go. Mordarmaskin barks an ugly laugh. "You're the same as ever, aren't you, you old dog?" Continental Suit frowns. "This is business, Mordarmaskin. Get going." Mordarmaskin chuckles and heads after Vire.
Continental Suit looks at the others in turn. Duke, a broad bellied bugbear whose horse nearly buckled under his weight. Kalin, the strangely armored hobgoblin whose mask covered face was inscrutable as ever. Big Bertha, a grumpy looking ogress on a laboring ox, carrying a massive cannon pulled off of its mounts. The two ruddy, earth colored men, Indians would had only recently joined the band, silent and stoic. And their latest member, Doctor Arlington, a balding sweating man clutching a carpet bag to his chest and looking like he wished he was anywhere else in the world. "The rest of you lay low. We might need your help if there's trouble, and we need to bolt. Find a camp near here, a hideout. And prepare yourselves. I'll be calling on you soon."
The rest of the band thunders off into the bluffs with a whirl of dust and the drumming of hooves, as Continental Suit turns and follows after the man in the black coat. The two will try to approach and enter AMEN.

Rogar, having missed the party, watchs the monitors. Normally, he would have alerted the men, but they are currently out of control. So, he takes the elevator to the front door, but not before getting two things as backup.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
[Front Entrance]
Dust broils behind the two riders as they come to and wheel before the front entrance, billowing behind them like the banner of an army. The horses stomp a bit, still frenzied, before settling down as the man in the long black coat and the man in the continental suit look down at Roger and his back up. "Afternoon, sirs. This here is what they call AMEN, isn't it?" Continental Suit smiles. Some smiles show mirth. Others just show teeth.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

For the stake of the rest of organization, Rogar dimmed the lights in the hallway connecting the front door to the main room.
"Yes, this is AMEN. So, are you here to join up, or to cause trouble?"
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

"Maybe a little of both." Black wheezes, his voice sounding like wind escaping from a gut wound. Continental Suit shakes his head. "We're just a bunch of crooked buzzards looking for a roost. We've come to join up."

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

Jasper is grabbed, and presumably pulled away from the aggressively smooching Moffette! He really can't tell whether to be relieved or dissappointed.:smalltongue:
"Ah, thanks for that handy rescue ma'am. Perhaps you'd be willing to let me go now so I can be on my merry way?" He says, giving Karyana a hopeful smile.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
[Party]
Karyana lets him go, and will try to catch the Hatteress if Moffette gets off her to go after Jasper.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
[Party]
It's about when Jasper is pulled away from Moff that the effects of the food start to fade. At least the love potion part. Much to Jasper's relief I'm sure.
Moff looks just a bit confused by what's going on, but hey, he got sloppy makeouts with Jasper. :smallbiggrin:
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
[Party]
The Hatteress is caught by Karyana! Oh no! She begins to struggle and protest Karyana's actions, spitting out more oaths than a mule driver is capable of imagining! She isn't quite sure as to what is going on, but she does have the sense to recognize that the woman dragging her away isn't her Legion. :smallannoyed:
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
[Party]
Karyana is quite hurt by this, and responds in kind, demonstrating a fluent command of swearing in the languages of four or five different dimensions, as well as the rather elaborate ones made up mostly of position and pheromones used by the Quill Wolves.

"Very good. Would you care if I get the papers?"
Rogar steps away from the door, leaving it open.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

The Hatteress isn't attempting to insult Karyana by putting sailors' to shame in her presence. Quite the contrary! She just isn't comfortable being touched by a stranger, especially when said stranger is a vampire. The Hatter detested the very notion of vampires. The Hatteress is different. She finds being around vampires merely unnerving as opposed to revolting.
"Release me this instant!"
The Hatteress shrieks, limbs flailing about in a most displeased fashion.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
Party
"Nice seein ya, lets do this again sometime." Jasper says, tipping a hat to Karyana, Moffette and Hatteress, before turning and running for the door as fast as he can. Best. Prank. Ever. And the fact he linked his iScroll up to the security system means not only he has it all on tape, but no one else who might be trying to record this will be able to. After all, blackmail material isn't much good when everyone has a copy, is it?:smalltongue:
The Cat Burglar, meanwhile, continues to do his best to escape Karyana's grasp. "Er, ah, why don't I just leave you two to your, ah, catfight, and meet you later at Trog's? I'll bring flowers?" He says nervously as Karyana and Hatteress start to sling insults about.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

Karyana does let go of the Hatteress, and says "Last time, you tried to run away. Why would I think you'd actually meet me at Trog's?"
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
Security Room
Oh Jasper forgot one thing Zefir is currently in there for a long time or better said long enougth to make copys and he has made some.(You can look up the post) Or if the iScroll is still there it will slide into Zefir's bag. Either way Zefir has copys.

Then he actually takes a look at what's going on onscreen, and the grin vanishes faster than a Higgs Boson particle.

No-one makes out with Jasper's girlfriend. Ever. Even if it's totally his fault for leaving her alone with the love-crazed maniacs.

Then he quickly turns incorporeal and drops through the floor into the room below, hopefully avoiding any only-partially-welcome advances from Pink. Unless she already attacked him while he was making silly faces, which is certainy a possibility. :smalltongue:
You mean the iScroll that got left behind? :smallamused:

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
[Party]
The Hatteress is shocked by this stunning devopment. The vampire girl actually released her. Why the...the faith of that girl? It strikes the Hatteress as unusually odd.
Of course, The Hatteress has already decided that this behaviour was probably best observed from afar. She additionally doesn't even want to be close to this other poor sod when his throat is ripped out by the starving vampire girl. She'd get blood all over her clothes! That just wouldn't do.
The Hatteress attempts to cunningly tiptoe away from Karyana in the most stealthy manner she can imagine.
"Sneaking. I'm sneaking."

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

Left behind? Nonsensery. Jasper merely needed to plug the iScroll into the main computer briefly, now that the connection has been established, the iScroll is downloading the latest security feeds wirelessly. Even if leaving behind all the blackmail material would be pretty funny, Jasper's just bright enough to avoid such classic blunders. And just non-tech savvy enough to not realize that the various villains at AMEN can now hack into his iScroll from the security terminal he used.:smalltongue:
Speaking of Jasper, chances are he runs straight into Legion in his hurry to escape. Or maybe the strangers lurking in the doorway.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

It's worth noting that Karyana actually looks extremely well fed.
"But how would I know you're not lying?"
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
[Party]
The Hatteress knows exactly why Karyana appears to be extremely well fed. It is because Karyana eats people like the tiny man she's restraining right over there. Yep. She's a hungry vampire that noms people! Seeing as The Hatter's main encounters with vampires involved Rot and Rose, that would seem to be an entirely reasonable inference to extend to all vampires from The Hatteress's viewpoint.
Where's The Hatteress at current? Why, she is hiding from Karyana under a round, heavy, wooden table!

He does run straight into the city slicker and the grim looking cowboy just outside the door. "You're in an awful hurry, pardner." Black, the top hatted cowboy swings his pale, skinny horse in front of Jasper's path outside. Continental Suit, the fancy dressed looking fellow, looks at Jasper with cool blue eyes peeking out form under the brim of his hat. "Mind telling us why?"

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

Rogar steps away to get the papers, while Rogar's backup decide to move closer to the light. And for their reveal, they are a pair of large, catlike creatures, with heads like T-Rexes, and machine guns on their shoulders, aka a pair of Catwalks.

Neither Black nor Suit seem overly concerned with the appearance of the catwalks. They stay focused on Jasper.

Zefir is looking confused while tiping on the screen. He heads to Pink.
"Hey could you tell me if someone was here? I can't find pictures from the moment the party begann and it seems like we aren't recording anything for us. I was able to save them on my USB-Stick, but something is still draing things away."
