Re: [Nexus] Skyside: Slave 2 Progress
[Illuminati Headquarters - He Didn't Finish That Questline?]
Ewwwwww! No more! No more! Mercy! I beg of you!
Miriah shrugs.
"Well, you know... You can get a lot of things if you curtain with the right people."
Miriah submits as if that is nothing. She pauses to study Justin's expression before uncontrolled snickering claims hersoul.
"Just kidding! We were offered these jobs not too long after we escaped. Apparently, someone in human resources heard that we weren't loyal to anyone in the Nexus yet and had essentially received the best anti-interrogation training we possibly could have. We were also considered psychologically stable but with a potentially murderous bent and a personal vendetta against slavers and pretty much anyone who would interfere with people's freedom. We also scored high on the IQ tests, so we were hired some odd months ago."

Re: [Nexus] Skyside: Slave 2 Progress
"Yeah fine." Lion looks worried. The pot does a nervous dance. "Listen we can stay here and get some soil Ok? And you go do what you need to do?"
Raindrop District, Clockmakers' Local #4
"What do we do when our buddy is not ready to be on watch that night?"
One of the younger old men lifts his hand. "Call it an early night and go to the bar?"
The chairman sighs. "Half right. You never go out on watch alone. But you always go out on watch! Call someone from the extra list to go on watch."
Thunderhead, Tinkertown, a Short Street
"Ladies of the jury! The Longmaker Five Thousand, and One!"
There are five flashes of light and the short street is now a long street. And the little broken steam machines in the trash cans are now longer broken steam machines. And the bugs and rats in the trash cans are now longbugs and longrats.
The women cheer. And then some of them scream.
Thunderhead, Pop's Chop Shop
Three half elves hang upside down from the bottom of a small stolen blimp. The blimp is tied down inside. Over a long drop out of Skyside.
Someone asks questions from the blimp ship.
"What did we get wrong about Pop?"
"Pop is not a weasel?"
"Pop is not a horrible teleport mistake?"
"Pop is not a ginger kid?"
"GINGER KID?!?!?"
A nut and bolt come apart. The blimp floats up a little more. Two half elves hang upside down from it.I have found a RL gaming group but I'm willing to meet other GitP people nearby.

Re: [Nexus] Skyside: Slave 2 Progress
Therlynn smirks, and says, "I don't think there's anything else worth saying. I'll lead you guys around and help you find your friends. You good with that?" Meanwhile, both her body and animal sides are sending rather...interesting messages to her brain, ones that she's trying desperately to block out.

Illuminati Headquarters - That was in D.C., Justin is from Atlanta:
Justin looks at her unimpressed, if that wasn't the most obvious attempt at a reaction she's tried so far he must have missed one.
"Strange they would know you even existed. I wonder if they contacted the balsa cabin boys." He quickly takes to his pizza. "Everything elsh is pretty shelf-ecshplanatory." *gulp*

Re: [Nexus] Skyside: Slave 2 Progress
[Two Archers...Sounds Like The Beginning of a Bad Joke]
Therlynn shakes her head, and says, "Yeah. I'm afraid if they fell out of the sky like you and your friend did, I won't be a whole lot of help. Which raises the question, actually, why were you guys falling from the sky?"

Re: [Nexus] Skyside: Slave 2 Progress
"Kay. Don't worry. I'll be interesting as possible."
Now unfortunately while these events are happening, Valcario has no idea that they are happening. this of course needs to be fixed.
While he walks out of the Gardent, he comes across a newspaper vending machine. He pulls out his trusty-musty Steamtech Swiss Army Knife. It was a most wonderful device. Thanks to the wonders of Gear Space, it contained almost any little hand-held object you could think of! Knife blade, compass, timepiece, lockpick, bottle opener, fire lighter, focused lantern (or as other people call it, a steamtech flashlight) monkey wrench, screwdriver, telescope, old-timey mobile phone, grappling hook, blackjack....and much much more!
With a few twists and turns the lockpick sprung up, and he of course picked the vending machine opened and took out a copy of the The Clock And Steamwork Gazette.
He read the ads section:
New Invention! The Incredible Longmaker Five-Thousand and One!
Never worry about anything being too short ever again! Lengthen your life experiences!
POP'S CHOP SHOP! All parts welcome! Clockwork, Steamwork, Whatever Works! Let us see what Pop and Sons can do for you!
These look promising! and of course, these old-timey newspaper ads give the exact street address for people to find them. Very informative, old-timey steamwork advertisements. Nothing like those digital commercials.
He considers his options. He could find enough parts at either of those things to make a mech-pot foot. But the Longmaker was new and being unveiled, far more Interesting! But he kind of needs to do things a little flexibly for his friends. Stealing from the parts shop would be things no one would really miss.
He thinks on it a little...yea he was going to go with the Longmaker. More Interesting and doubted it would make much difference in his friends eyes. To them stealing was stealing. That and while it was interesting, what kind of invention was making things long? That sounded so useless it was practically begging to be scrapped and made into something useful. like paperweights. or mechanical pot-shoes.
He closed the vending machine, relocked it, and set off for Thunderhead, Short Street with the Gazette in the crook of his arm.
OOC: feel free to change the ads if I'm wrong.

Re: [Nexus] Skyside: Slave 2 Progress
Therlynn giggles, and says, "Yeah, I've got some experience with that. Don't worry, it happens to everyone...Though probably not to the same extent you felt." She shakes her head, and says, mostly to herself than anyone else, "Hmm...I'm probably too far away for this to work...Still worth a shot, I guess." She then turns to the sylph, and says to him, "Close your eyes, and, no matter what you hear, don't open them again until I tell you."

Re: [Nexus] Skyside: Slave 2 Progress
I am so sorry! That is one of the things I do not like. Not knowing where interesting things are in all these threads. And then I went and did the very same thing to you. Sure. Now there are newspapers.
Thunderhead, Tinkertown, AShortLong Street
"Turn it off!"
"Turn it up!"
"Turn it down!"
"One just ran up my pants!"
The street is still not big enough to hold all of the jury. There is a fight with the women trying to run out of the street and the women trying to push inventions into the street.
"Just put it in reverse!"
"Not yet!"
"Stop pushing!"
A longbug rolls out of it all curled up and big as a wheel cap. One of the women watches it and yells EUREKA! and runs down the street and runs into Valcario and says sorry and keeps running.
"I hate rats I hate rats I HATE RATS!"
"Someone find us a longcat!"
"I had one in my ceiling for weeks. It would not leave."
A small boom. Mushroom smoke. Mushroom taste. Five more flashes of light.
"Oh I look good in short skirts now! First prize for the Longmaker!"
"How can you think about fashion now?!"
"Is it gone??? I am never wearing pants again."I have found a RL gaming group but I'm willing to meet other GitP people nearby.

Re: [Nexus] Skyside: Slave 2 Progress
[Bank Robbery]
As Therlynn and Eyros are carrying the unconscious Sylph farmer around looking for a boat, she sees a familiar cyborg and catgirl leaving a bank carrying several large sacks. She swear, and says to Eyros, "Sorry. This might take a while." Once that's said, she charges at our neighborhood villains, draws her bow, nocks and arrow, and fires, all the while shouting, "STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM!"Last edited by Ionbound; 2014-02-09 at 07:27 PM.

Re: [Nexus] Skyside: Slave 2 Progress
Bank Infiltration => Escape!
Magtok's leg gets hit with an arrow midstride, and he nearly trips as his knee surrenders to the arrow lodged within it. He hisses, resisting the urge to scream for all of about two seconds, before hollering in agony.
"Goddammit! Goddamn you! Why?! Why would you shoot me there?! Right in the...I'm not even going to say it! That joke is old! That joke is stupidly old!"
For all the pain it causes, his left leg is still perfectly operational, and he'll hobble away from the werewolf if he has to.

Re: [Nexus] Skyside: Slave 2 Progress
[Flight of the Robbers]
Therlynn raises an eyebrow quizzically, and asks, "What joke? I'm dead serious right now." She unleashes another arrow at the other leg. When Arkh levels the shotgun at Therlynn, she remembers her previous experience with the boomstick and dodges. Enhanced reflexes have their benefits after all.

Re: [Nexus] Skyside: Slave 2 Progress
♫ The Thieving Magpies ♫
"The one about the former adventurer who had to retire because of an arrow injury to the knee. That joke! How did you even find us?!" Magtok reaches into his robes, and throws several sweet rolls in Therlynn's general direction. They look like harmless enough pastries, but harmless pastries usually don't have grenades baked inside, do they? While that's distracting her, he tries to grab Ark and speed away, hovering off the ground to keep off that one leg with the arrow in it.

Re: [Nexus] Skyside: Slave 2 Progress
He points his gun, but....he isn't quite sure what is happening here. A bunch of mechanical rodents and such scampering about? causing trouble? was the Longmaker a machine-hivemind rodent thing with lots of scattered parts? What deranged mind thought this up?
He tries to stomp on a passing mechanical rodent and then examine it with the swiss army knife's magnifying glass to see whats going on. Does he succeed?
