[Nexus] AMEN XLIII: REVOLUTION!

[Reinholdt]

[Ilpholin's Office - Becky]

"Of course." Ilpholin says, before stepping over to the door to head out. She does still have work to do, after all.

But right outside is the ugliest halfling ever. Ugh.

"Oh. Welcome back."

Bunker

Excellent! Stu will try to sneakily close the door behind him and then work his way to the bathroom quietly. He fully intends to play the peeping tom role to the end. >.<

[Halls]

Mister Squiggles probably wouldn't find Mr. E easily then.
Except there are webs! WEBS! In the hallways and they aren't his webs! This is very confusing. Maybe even disconcerting. Was Ilpholin seeing another spider behind his back?

Mister Squiggles gives the web a tentative poke. I don't think getting caught in them is going to be an issue for him.

[Hattish Thing]

Door

Oh hai! What did ya expect? Remnant? Surely ya recognize me? He swallows a little olive in the drink... He loves olives...and gets off his chair which Grantaire puts away. Alrigh'. I got me ya gol'. But. I wanna see me clone first. 'Ere's the gol' for th' bot. He hands her three large green emeralds. Well, I expect a clnone. Show me t' the cloning room.....please?

[ThePhantom]

Halls

If they were spider webs, then Mister Squiggles would be fine. But these webs are a bit different, more holding power. He might be stuck or maybe not. Either way, Mr E is on his way.

[Mindfreak]

Bunker
Oh, it seems the door is open to the bathroom. The silhouette of the woman's figure us evident in the hot steam of the shower, while a couple glimpses of her bare flesh are seeable.
Though only a glimpse of her legs and her elbows are seeable.

Mmm, sweet elbow action.

[Reinholdt]

Door

Marciano already paid for the Panther Bot with the money he brought with him last time. By your explanation, there was enough in there to do so. If he did not pay, I can guarantee you he never got the bot in the first place.

"As for the clone room... no. I'm not showing you that. Company secret. By my understanding Magtok already got your cloning information and is growing one now. Did you not talk to him about that?"

[Hattish Thing]

Ilpholin's Room?

i know he already bought it. Marciano doesn't really keep track of what he buys though....He asks, Sooo....If I already got the bot, and Magtok's doing the clones, then what do I need to pay you for? Oh! Duh....the crystals...well, I woul' kinda like t' see who's on the job....

[The Bushranger]

[Ilpholin's Office -> Door -> ?

Becky smirks, but the smirk turns into a bit of a glower at the sight of the eavesdropping halfling!

She makes a mental note to pop his eardrums later, and will try to slip past and head for the kitchen. For some reason she has quite an appetite.

[Reinholdt]

Halls

Mister Squiggles can't claim much. But I think immunity to sticky things is one of the ones he can. Lolth virgin blood blessings and all that.

He chitters madly! CHITTER CHITTER!

Bunker

Stu is leaning forward for a better look... before the inevitable happens. He looses his footing, flails and the heap of metal crashes to the floor loudly.

"Oops."

[Ilpholin's Office - Marciano]

Ahh. Well then Ilph takes the emeralds.

"Well you'll need to pay for the clone still. But I do have one of our top agents interested in retrieving these crystals. However, like I said, many of us are already preoccupied, so your quest is low on the totem pole. If you aren't satisfied with him or he doesn't want to do it, you'll likely have to wait. Either way, follow me." If Marciano follows, then Ilpholin will head towards where she last remembers leaving Rot!

[Hattish Thing]

Following Ilpholin

Now...Grantaire was never a bright halfling...but he knew that Marciano already paid...but Marciano would snap at hi for saying something so treacherous...so instead he throws the thought away and instead thinks of naked drow women or whatever the idiotic halfling thought of. Marciano asks Ilpholin, Oy, what does this guy do? Wha' is 'e?

[Mindfreak]

Bunker
The woman naturally screams.
"PEEEEEEERVEEEEEEERT!"
At which a man's footsteps can be heard running towards the showers.

[ThePhantom]

Halls

"Well well well. A spider messing with my webs."

Mister E fades into sight.

"Looking for me?"

[Reinholdt]

Halls

Mister Squiggles turns to face Mister E and chitters. Chitter chitter.

Bunker

Stu hops up in startlement.
"WHERE?!"

Rot's location

"He kills. His name's Rot. Should be able to get rid of any opposition to that crystal." Ilpholin says.

[ThePhantom]

Halls

"You know, I don't understand spider. Perhaps you can find someone who does."

Mr. E shakes his hatted head.

[Mindfreak]

Bunker

Stu hops up in startlement.
"WHERE?!"

Bunker
The man(Australian and quite handsome, wearing a jumpsuit with a strange emblem on it and carrying an AK-47, raises it and points it at Stu.
"GET HIM RANDY!" the woman yells, trying to quickly put a towel on.
"Flower, I have no idea who you are, or where you came from, but move away from Dessi, NOW."

[Reinholdt]

Halls

Mister Squiggles chitters and holds out a leg.
It would not be unreasonable to believe that he's here for the info Ilpholin wanted. Access to Gordon's information network and satellite info and such. The things Mr. E said he would share.

That or maybe he's hungry and wants a snack.

Bunker

"I don't know anything! I was at home at three am on Tuesday sleeping with a very clear alibi cause I was surrounded by fifteen women! I didn't do it!" Stu insists, raising his hands above his petals.

[Hattish Thing]

Rot Area


Tha's a bi' broad Ilphy....Ya know, I think I'll call ya tha'. Ya name is too long. ((That's coming from someone who's name is Marciano....)) 'Ow is this guy diff'rent from any common thug?

[Mindfreak]

Bunker
Randy takes this moment while Stu's talking to try and drive the rifle's butt into Stu's face to try and knock him out.
"Good job, Randy!"

[Reinholdt]

Rot Area

"You haven't told me how getting your crystals will be any different than walking to them and picking them up. Maybe a common thug is all you need. But, I'll let him answer that question for himself." Ilpholin says, as now I intend to wait on Rot to post.

Bunker

Stu's... errr... a flower. I mean it bends the stem back a bit.
"OW! Freaking ow! What the hell did you do that for?!"

Now Stu's less scared and more pissed, bringing his flamethrower down from surrender position and more into attack position.

[Hattish Thing]

Rot Land

Marciano sighs, I 'ope it's tha' easy...

And I'll wait too.

[Mindfreak]

Bunker
"I'm trying to knock you out, dammit!" he said, raising the gun back up.

[Reinholdt]

Bunker

"Stop it or I'll burn your face off you monster!" Stu gives a warning fwoosh just to prove he means it.

[VampireRot]

[Rot... Land?]

I was unaware Rot got his own amusement park. About time though.

"Common thug? I'm offended, really."

Oh look! There's the vampire! He was behind you the whole time!

Well, there is a chance that Ilpholin, or even Marciano, sensed Rot sneaking up on them, despite the utter silence he stalks in. But that's unlikely, since the vampire employs horror-movie like stealth to the point of offscreen teleportation, seemingly springing up behind the drow and halfling from nowhere.

[Reinholdt]

[Rot Room]

Ilpholin closes her eyes to keep from starting physically. After a moment and a breath, she turns around.

"Well that's this guy's claim anyways. I told him you were probably our best agent, but he didn't seem to be impressed."

Also Noodle, it's your turn in BDD.

[Hattish Thing]

Rot Land!

Marciano sneaks around too. But he was busy talking to Ilpholin and secretly admiring her rack. He jumps a little. Ba ha! Don't sneak up on me! Wha' th' hell? Ooo are you?

[ThePhantom]

Halls

Mister Squiggles chitters and holds out a leg.
It would not be unreasonable to believe that he's here for the info Ilpholin wanted. Access to Gordon's information network and satellite info and such. The things Mr. E said he would share.

That or maybe he's hungry and wants a snack.

"You want some information? Perhaps you would like to play a game for it?"

[Reinholdt]

Halls

Mister Squiggles chitters. No, not really. He has a lot of work to do and Mr E already promised that info in exchange for him staying here.

Somehow Mister Squiggles doubts that even if he could communicate those reasons, it wouldn't stop Mr E from playing his game.

[VampireRot]

[Rot Land]

Rot stares flatly at Marciano for a moment. Before he smiles coldly, showing off his large fangs.

"I am your worst nightmare, Marciano."

He pronounces the name correctly! The vampire clasps his hands behind his back, nudging his magnificent cape a bit as he does so.

"So. Fill me in on these crystals. Where do I need to go and who do I need to kill to get them?"

[Hattish Thing]

Rotville

Marciano grins before bursting into laughter at Rot....Ok...a little odd....Ya know? I must 'ave been told that ten times by different people since I go' 'ere in th' Nexus. Say, 'ave ya decided to sell me th' cape yet? Nice t' know I'll be working with ya.

[ThePhantom]

Halls

Mr E takes out a computer disk.

"There's the data you want, but you got fifteen minutes before it goes up in flames."

He throws the CD towards Mister Squiggles.

"Have fun."

[Reinholdt]

Halls

Mister Squiggles sighs. Everyone always has to be so difficult. Wouldn't it be better if they could all just get along.

He takes the disk and skitters off to his own room, to pop the thing into his computer and copy the contents, chittering the entire time.
