[Da Sewer]

"Some people jus' wanna snitch stuff," Dorothy says with a shrug. Then, spotting the mistletoe, she smirks, and walks right over to it. "Looks like t' sewer-workers have a sense a' humour."

[McBish]

[Underground]

Well doctor if your coming better get a move on. Not going to wait for you.

He makes his way down towards the mistletoe looking around. Looks like a breadcrumb to me. Let's follow it and see where it leads. He starts to make his way down the path keeping an eye open for trouble.

[TruorTupnm]

[A Good Place To Raise Turtles]

When the flashlight finds the mistletoe, Farcy heads for it. He frowns at Dorothy's conclusion. "Or the thief is laughing at us." He looks down both tunnels at the intersection. "You wouldn't happen to have another flashlight?" Probably not, but he'll pull out his keychain, which we'll say has one of those annoyingly bright lights on it, to help with employing keys. To John, with a confident nod ---> "You take the right, and I'll take the left?"

[celtois]

[Crockers]

Yes, taking the side passages. That would be a good idea.

One of them might notice that the section of the stone on the wall right under and around the mistletoe looks different from the surrounds stone.

Hey it's another clue

(And the terrible narration continues)

"There was anotehr time I saw a big ole croc down their. Huge thing. Now mr. guitar I had to run from that one. But I got back at it. Oh yes I did."

"The funny doctor probably is looking at weird wall now. I remember that wall. Good times. Me and that wall. No it's not what your thinking Mr. Guitar that kiss we shared under the mistletoe was special. I swear it. I wonder if the other and barmaid girl are smooching down their right now. IN OUR SPEICAL SPOT."

[The Bushranger]

[Crackers. Er, Sewers]

Dorothy looks dissapointed when nobody takes advantage of the mistletoe.
"Sorry, no flashlight here. But...hey, wait a sec."

Frowning, she studies the wall more closely. Then goes to push at that stone that looks different from all the other stone.

[TruorTupnm]

[Scenic Cloaca Of The City]

With the darkness and the fact that he wears glasses, Farcy probably wouldn't have noticed it, first, but as soon as it's pointed out, he'll back off. "Stealing Christmas presents? Secret passages? Does this thing think that it is some kind of comic book character?"

[McBish]

[Underground]

I think we should stick together as much as possible.

He watches as Dorthy pushes the different stone.

You would be surprised how much truth you can find in comic books. He says to the Doc.

[celtois]

[Drainy Pipes]

Funny. It actually happens to be a pull door.

Pushing the stone does nothing really. I kind of just sits there and looks stone like. In fact it's like pushing on a stone wall.

Huh, I wonder if the nail the mistletoe is on has any practical purpose. Like a handle.

Don't forget to smooch under it first.

Joe has been eliminated from this post. Due to player complaints.

Eliminated with a triple action shot gun. It's going to be hard to come back from that.

"Im's still alive ain't that right mr. guitar"

Hush you!

[TruorTupnm]

[Grasping At Straws, In The Sewer]

Farcy grunts. He just wants his eggnog. Muttering ---> "Ridiculous. Is this the one with the curse of perpetual optimism?"

To edit ---> Also, when pushing doesn't work, he'll nod a, "That's better!" sort of nod, but, when they eventually do figure out how to get it open, he most definitely ignores the mistletoe, then, depending on how the door works, he'll pull out a bottle from his bag and use it to prop the door open.

Oh, also, also, poor Joe. He was the greatest creepy old dude of them all.

[The Bushranger]

[Royal Flush Sanitation Co.]

Dorothy remains smoochless, alas.
But she does happen to yank on the mistletoe and its nail in frustration.
Clearly intending to hold it over her head with a purposeful look.

[McBish]

[Underground]

John apparently completely forgets about what the significance of mistletoe. He keeps his light on the door/wall hoping to find a way in.

((About to call it a night.))

[celtois]

[Sewer Place]

Yank. On the mistletoe. Dorothy you might get your smooch yet.

What's this. It's in their pretty well. And the door is now swinging open.
Huh, it's a pull door. That must be the handle.

Door seems to be easy to open from the other side. With a proper handle and everything.

And.. oh hey a slide...crap. How are they going to get back up to the door if they take that.

"Joe knows how."

Oh be quiet I said your dead already, and I've taken over narration duty.

Yes indeed it is miss prissy pants on narration duty.

[TruorTupnm]

[Return Of The Revenge Of The Sewer II]

Farcy really wishes that he had some eggnog in his system. At the moment, he can't get past the fact that Dorothy is a mutant. Also, if any saliva were accidentally swapped, it would probably hurt her. He glowers at her, ruefully. "Maybe some other time."

Once the door is opened, he looks down the slide, then offers Dorothy his coat again. "I am going down, no matter what. Are you sure that you don't want this, now? I can get a new one."

[The Bushranger]

[The Sewer Strikes Back]

"Well, well, well," Dorothy mutters quietly, as the door opens and the slide is revealed!

And she wrinkles her nose in digust at the thought of sliding down something in the sewer.

She then sticks her tongue out at Farcy. "Ah'm paitent, Doc. Ah can wait. And...Ah guess the coat might come in handy," she says a bit ruefully, accepting it. "Don't wanna get t' slime on me, after all."

((No worries, need to head off to bed here too. Walked way too much today and got de agony of de feet.))

[McBish]

[Underground]

Damn it, rope I forgot to bring some rope. How could I forget that. Are you sure you want to go down, I could go and get some rope and be back in a few minutes?

He says looking down the slide trying to judge how far it goes down.

And he smirks a bit at Farcy and Dorthy.

[TruorTupnm]

[Sewer Dungeon, At The Entrance To Level Two]

Pretty sure that he can taste his eggnog down this slide, he looks from it to John a couple of times, then nods shakily. "It would be prudent, I admit." He flashes his keychain light. "Go on. I'll stay here. I suppose that it didn't steal anything from you, then? I just really need some alcohol in my system, right now."

He shines his light down the slide again, looking longingly, and as if he's restraining himself from just jumping down. "The thing must have an exit somewhere, though. Unless it's some kind of mutant that wouldn't be bothered by climbing back up this slide." He begins to examine the doorway, inside and out, as well as he can without sliding down, looking for handholds or a switch to turn the slide into stairs, which would be suitably comicbookish.

[celtois]

[Sewers]

Something around the door.

No nothing like that. Just a slide. Seems whoever goes down here doesn't use it to get back up. Perhaps it's just for dropping stolen stuff into.

Well this is awkward. Looks like they'll either have to just slide down or, forget about the whole thing.

EDIT: It's hard to say how far down it goes without a stronger light. Or without actually getting on it.

Basically it goes down a long ways.

[The Bushranger]

[Sewer Thing]

"Oh? Where's your spirit of adventure, then? Tell ya what, ya slide down here an' Ah'll buy yer drinks next time," Dorothy challenges with a grin.

[McBish]

[Underground]

You have got to be kidding me. This is just silly.

He sighs. Ah to be young and carefree he thinks to himself shaking his head.

But I can't stand someone questioning my sense of adventure, and I can't turn down free drinks. With a cocky grin he takes the flashlight in his mouth and slides down the slide.

[celtois]

[Sewers]

The slide goes down. An awfully long ways.

In a straight spiral for some time with little in the way of sides.

Better hold on tight.

Then it enters a closed off chute section

Down down down down down.

The light he was carrying with disappear from view up above.

And abruptly the slide with come to an end. Spitting him out into a fairly large room, and directly at a christmas tree.

Which will break his fall mostly. In a squishy prickly sort of way.

(30 minutes left then I have to deadtime for 2-3 hours.)

[TruorTupnm]

[[Sewers]Not Doing Funny Titles, Anymore]

Farcy watches, as John slides down and the light fades. He then steps away and waves to the door. "After you." If Dorothy decides to go first, he'll stand there and reconsider for a bit but quickly decide that no stinking mutant is going to pull anything over on him and get away with it. Before sliding down, he'll write in the slime on the walls near the door stuff along the lines of, "Thief's Hideout" and, "Send help." If Dorothy refuses, he sighs and says, "Fine. Could you leave something to alert any other trackers that might come along?" then he holds his breath and slides down.

[The Bushranger]

[Sewers]

Dorothy, for her part, won't hesitate. Using Farcy's coat as a cushion, of course.

She manages not to go 'Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee' on the way down. After all, somebody might be listening!

The faceplant into the Christmas tree, though, will set off a round of rather inventive cursing.

[McBish]

Jack crashes into the tree with a groan and a small yelp of pain. Needles are pointy. But Dorthy and the Doc should be falling on him so they should have a bit less pain from the tree.

[celtois]

[Sewers]

(Hey guys. I'm going to keep going here. But don't wait for me in any other threads. I don't really feel like playing my existing characters at the moment.)

Yeah. But it'll hurt like heck when the others crash into him and send those needles driving further into him

YOWCH!


It's a fair sized room they've landed in, and Christmas stuff is everywhere.

Three different Christmas trees. Lots of presents. A whole carton of egg nog.
It's pretty much a bonanza of stolen Christmas stuff.

Wait was that. Our heroes might see something out of the corner of their eyes.


Mr. Guitar... play our heroes a solemn death march.

"He nu do nutin you say ya shoot me!"

Oh shut up and play your guitar.

[TruorTupnm]

[Sewers]

Farcy certainly isn't acting like a hero as he climbs off of Dorothy and John. He just dusts himself off while enjoying seeing them so low. He notes the eggnog but grabs his bag and turns towards the movement. "Who's there?" He shines his little keychain light in that direction.

((Intentional Avatar The Last Airbender reference? Awesome, if so.))

[The Bushranger]

[Sewer Trees]

Dorothy dusts herself off as well, smirking at Farcy.
"Well, if ya like me THAT much, all ya gotta do is ask," she says with a smirk. Before noticing hte movement as well. And turning that way!

[celtois]

[Sewers]

Lots of movement. Just not a lot to see.

Oh. Maybe there is something to see.

A fair sized black ball runs across their field of view.
A fair sized black ball will two legs.

Ah ha. The walking Christmas tree and presents.

(....we'll say yes? Even though I haven't watched the show or movie. )

[The Bushranger]

[Sewers]

"After him!" Dorothy shouts!
Running in the direction of the two-legged black ball!

((But I need sleeps, sowwy. v.v))

[TruorTupnm]

[Sewers]

Farcy splutters, reddens, and whips his head to Dorothy but quickly back around at several other parts of the room, trying to spot the thief. Sourly, "Would you please stop that?"

Spotting the black ball, he recoils. Reproachfully but hesitantly, "What do you think you're doing, stealing a man's eggnog? Erm, can you understand me?"

((Ah. oh well, towards not intentionally referencing stuff and people going to bed.))

[celtois]

[Secret Lair]

The black ball squeaks and bolts.

Apparently no it didn't understand him.

A discerning individual may not that it appears to have been made of coal.

He he he.

The thief must have a sense of humour.

and the ball is chased. Into a door. See it seems the door it bolted through slammed behind it. If Dorothy isn't careful she might run smack dab into it.

Poor girl hopefully her shoes have good traction.
