GLoG XLVI: With a Maraschino Cherry On Top.

[Reinholdt]

Reply: You're denser than those meatbags. Then again, that's true both literally and figuratively. I'm filling the pool with itching powder for when they get the water back on.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Ah. Well, I have never heard of this "itching powder" before. He steps slightly closer to the drone. Would the chlorine in the water affect it chemically? And another step closer.

[Reinholdt]

Obvious reply: Of course not dummy! Maybe... Mean Drone hadn't actually considered that.

Regardless it starts flying away. Intention: Gotta go get some more. There's only so much one little drone can carry after all.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Runner moves to catch up. Let me help you with that. I can carry more than you.

[Reinholdt]

Scoffing: No thanks. It says before it tries to fly into one of the little service drone hatches.

[KerfuffleMach2]

At this, Runner raises his hand and attempts to grab the drone from behind.

[Reinholdt]

Mean Drone is grabbed.
Shouts: Help! I'm being molested! Get away you freak!

[KerfuffleMach2]

Hold still. This will only take a second. Runner attempts to connect to the drone and see what it has been up to lately. He first searches for any video feeds the drone might have, starting from the time the cameras went off.

[Reinholdt]

Defiance: You'll never take me alive Copper! Mean Drone 12 generates a mini-explosion in itself, shutting itself down permanently and preventing access to its memory banks.

Guess one will have to search for Misaki the old fashioned way.

Though if one looks at the security tapes, they may hear her crying in the vault even though they can't see her. Or maybe not. Depends on how loudly she's crying I suppose.

Deadtime.

[Neon Knight]

A deadtime ooze cuts off all sounds of crying. I guess a rescue will have to wait.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Runner grumbles to himself. Stupid Mean Drones. Who even made those?

He'll take the drone to the lab, so it can be used for parts.

[Neon Knight]

Misaki is still in the vault, and still crying.

[Ashen Lilies]

Phoenix is brought here, without incident. =P

[happyturtle]

[Infirmary]

Happy has Phoenix brought into the infirmary, but then deadtimes with a player migraine.

[McBish]

Astrid is wandering around, she might hear the crying of Misaki if NK is not deadtimed.

[The Bushranger]

Quinn, alas, blissfully unknowing, is training the far more powerful meddrone scanners on Phoenix now!

[Earl of Purple]

Great Room

Eko the lizardperson has a bowl of crickets which she is eating. Her scales are greeny-brown, as are her eyes. She is wearing a belt with an obsidian-studded club and a bandoleer with a quiver of obsidian-tipped javalins. Her anatomy makes it rather hard to tell Eko's gender, unless the observer has experience in the field of reptilian anatomy.

((Out of curiousity, what did Quinn do with Dam'Bul?))

[billtodamax]

Susan gets the drone to wheel her back into the greatroom, where she sees the MagChair. She looks at the note, shrugs, and uses the drone to help her stand up and get into the chair. She looks over it a bit.

[Je dit Viola]

I decided to plotclone Helen, so she's here for about half an hour, unless nobody else is here...

[Earl of Purple]

Eko's here! In the Great Room, eating some crickets from a bowl. She's a lizardperson, with a tail behind her, greeny-brown scales and eyes and she's wearing a belt and a bandoleer. There's an obsidian-studded club hanging at the belt and a quiver of obsidian-tipped javalins attached to the bandoleer.

[Je dit Viola]

Helen, a succubus, walks up to Eko and asks her Do those taste good?, regarding the crickets.

[Earl of Purple]

"Yess, they do. I doubt they'd be to your tasste, however. Few mammalss like eating them." On closer inspection, it would appear that the crickets are hopping around. Fortunately the bowl is too steep and too smooth for the cricket's escape.

[Je dit Viola]

I've heard they're pretty nutritious, though. she says, shrugging her shoulders. And they do taste good when you're starving.

She looks down at them, crawling and hopping around, trying to escape.

[Earl of Purple]

"Nice and crunchy. Juicy, plump, yummy hoppy thingss. Not ass large ass the oness in my homeland, though." Eko licks her eyes; this may or may not disturb Helen, it depends on whether demons have eyelids.

[Je dit Viola]

...I'm pretty sure that some demons have eyelids. Helen does, for sure.

Well, I've had better, she comments.

And I've got to go now, so she says Have fun with your bugs, as she walks out to the Rose garden to deadtime.

[happyturtle]

[Greatroom]

It occurs to Happy that she hasn't seen Misaki all day. She accesses the security system to find out what happened to her.

[Neon Knight]

[Vault]

In the darkened vault, Misaki continues to softly cry.

[happyturtle]

After a fruitless search, Happy puts Mainframe on the job, who soon discovers that its sensors in the vault were bypassed and works to correct it.

[Vault]

Down in the vault, the lights suddenly come on.

[The Bushranger]

((Out of curiousity, what did Quinn do with Dam'Bul?))

((Stashed away in the vault inside the dimensionally transcendent containment unit, I believe.))

Speaking of Quinn, a Quinn plot-clone now emerges into the Great Room. Also wondering where Misaki is.

[Neon Knight]

[Vault]

Misaki starts, then starts blinking and rubbing her eyes, sitting up. "Ow!"
