GLoG V: Where Everyone's A Hero (In Their Own Way)

[happyturtle]

"Oh no, I really think you should stay a while," George says cheerfully. His large form is blocking the exit, and one of the cell doors slides open. "Wouldn't you like to experience our accommodations first-hand?"

[Lord Magtok]

I...

...

Magtok sizes up the individual, and figures that he probably would fail horribly if he tried anything. He decides to step into the cell.

I barely know you, and already I hate you.

[Lex-Kat]

((THAT was funny. ))

Judy

Vision-Judy will weakly look around, her vision-face streaked with tears. She sees the strange ghost man hold out his hand. She takes it.

Am... Am I dead?

Lex

Lex sets the med-drones to work, trying to revive Judy.

[Vespe Ratavo]

The Sorrow helps her up. Not quite. You're just visiting. A Mr. Ratavo asked me to come here, something about "giving you some perspective," if I remember correctly.

[happyturtle]

"Now, now, we're not that bad," George says as he closes the cell door. "I'm afraid I don't know what cyborgs eat, so you'll want to tell your personal drone what you need. Of course if you decide to seek redemption, we'll be happy to help. Have a good day!"

George leaves Magtok alone.

((deadtimes))

[Lex-Kat]

Judy

Oh. Will he ever return? Why did he go evil? Did he ever really care about me? Visiting where? I thought I was in GLoG HQ.

Judy looks around.

[Vespe Ratavo]

Um...in order, maybe, he didn't tell me, and I don't know.

I can answer that last one though. You're in the world of spirits, where souls go after they die, but before they pass on to the afterlife. Most people here are just vengeful ghosts, but Mr. Ratavo sees this place a lot due to this "kloning" business of his.

It looks just like the GLoG HQ, except badly lit.

[Lex-Kat]

Judy

So how do I leave? She looks at the door. Opens it up and walks into the hallway, heading towards the main room.

[Vespe Ratavo]

Simple, really, you just have to wake up. The Sorrow floats a few feet off the ground, charges what appears to be some sort of blast of energy, and fires it at Judy.

If it hits, she'll see some nightmarish images of past assassinations flicker in her mind, then she'll be back in her own body.

[Lex-Kat]

Judy

She swings her arms up to defend herself from the unexpected blast.

For a few brief secionds, blood. Blood is everywhere.

Then she wakes up. She'd already unshrunk in the real world. Still a little dazed, she swipes at the med-drones, and falls off the bed, in a very unglorious way.

She looks around. Everything is so much more bright.

Lex

Lex hugs Judy. I was worried about you. Want some cake?

((DEADTIME))

[Vespe Ratavo]

The Sorrow fades away.

((Deadtime as well.))

[happyturtle]

George is back in the great room, doing another fitness video. This time it's the Bollywood Dance Workout.

Yup. He's doing the butt bounce. It isn't pretty.

[Haleyintraining]

((Undeadtime.

And stop talking so much! It took me twenty minutes to get caught up and now I don't have time to post!))

[Tempest Fennac]

(If there's other people in HALO, I tend to post after reading through the last page or so before checking the latest page every so often while reading through what happened.)

[Ashen Lilies]

Kris walks into the great room, and is blinded by the sight of a large Thor worshiper doing the butt dance.
Ow! My eyes!

[Vespe Ratavo]

((On second thought, I've changed my mind. Don't remove me from the members list.

Vespe is still gone though. ))

[happyturtle]

When Kris enters, George turns off the dvd. "Hey there, lad. How about some of this nice wedding cake?" He helps himself to a slice. "Stay away from the middle layer though. I took some of that by accident earlier. Thor's nostrils, it was vile! Can't imagine what it must be like being a vamp."

[Ashen Lilies]

Kris explains all the psionic blood stuff from an earlier post, while cutting himself some cake. He gestures to the TV.
Why all the aerobic stuff? We have a perfectly normal training room.

[happyturtle]

"Yup, yup, and we also have a perfectly normal dvd player right here.I've never really been into fancy equipment. I just like my fitness dvds. Gotta do something to work off all the cake."

[ApeofLight]

Gath is in the training room training.

[happyturtle]

George is in the great room watching The Princess Bride.

[Lex-Kat]

Lex is next to Garth. I love this part.

Judy is with Mint, telling her of the experience last night.

((Sorry, HiT. But you won the Gold!!

DEADTIME))

[Haleyintraining]

((Should we do what HALO does and put all the members' trophies on display in the first post?))

[Lord Magtok]

"I'm afraid I don't know what cyborgs eat, so you'll want to tell your personal drone what you need. Of course if you decide to seek redemption, we'll be happy to help. Have a good day!"

Magtok clears his throat and addresses the drone.

Yes, I'd like a cheeseburger, hold the ketchup, medium-sized drink, a lockpick and fries.

[happyturtle]

Confirmation: Request acknowledged.

The drone teleports away. About twenty minutes later, it teleports back into Magtok's cell bearing a tray with a meal.

Statement: Mr George Shackleton has denied your request for a lockpick to be included in your meal.
Query: Is there anything else I can help you with?

[Haleyintraining]

Annalee is sitting in the main room. She is looking into the necklace, and seems to be talking to someone.

[Quinsar]

A shadow moves into the main room. A freestanding shadow...

[Haleyintraining]

Annalee doesn't notice.

[Quinsar]

It drops to the floor, bleeding...
