[00:57] | <Pig_catapult> | Epiphany writes /Try LSD./ |
[00:57] | <Snoogitov> | Loki thinks for a bit |
[00:57] | <Cass> | "Acid, not ganja, but yes." |
[00:57] | <Snoogitov> | "Does it look like a minecart?" |
[00:57] | <Cass> | [jinx] |
[00:57] | <Pig_catapult> | [You know what they say about great minds] |
[00:58] | <Cass> | [hydro, does the minecart resemble any transportation devices used aboard ship?] |
[00:58] | <Cass> | "No, the minecart is something else, and it's loaded with explosives." |
[00:58] | <Pig_catapult> | Epiphany considers a moment. /Actually, you probably shouldn't try LSD. We deal with enough crazy shit without chemical assistance./ |
[00:58] | <Pig_catapult> | /That was poor wording on may part/ |
[00:58] | <Pig_catapult> | *my |
[00:59] | <Lincoln> | [like I said, the minecart is oversized, you don't really recognize it] |
[00:59] | <Snoogitov> | "How
do you know if the thing makes us hallucinate. What if it wants us to
think it's something else but really it's a weedplane. What if you're
not Casimiro but a beautiful lady?" |
[00:59] | <Cass> | "So that's why you're killing those men in melee rather than us simply blowing them up." |
[00:59] | <Snoogitov> | "Wait what? Why am I killing cowboys?" |
[00:59] | * Cass | leans in towards Loki. "Want to check that, baby boy?" |
[00:59] | <Snoogitov> | Loki thinks that sentence is retarded. |
[01:00] | <Cass> | [cass is older and scarred] |
[01:00] | <Snoogitov> | [I mean the cowboys sentence, not yours] |
[01:01] | <Cass> | "You're
killing those cowboys because they have explosives we need, a route to
the shuttle, and are batshit. Peaceful approach could get us all
killed." |
[01:01] | <Snoogitov> | "What if they're nice guys? What if those explosives are for us? Have you SEEN a movie? Cowboys are always nice guys." |
[01:01] | <Snoogitov> | Loki does not think to whether or not he's ever seen a western film. |
[01:02] | <Snoogitov> | "I'm going to go say hi, you hang back, and if they don't help us out take 'em out." |
[01:02] | <Pig_catapult> | Epiphany writes /Peaceful approach could get us killed./ |
[01:02] | <Snoogitov> | "It's not like I matter, I mean, I'm already dead, so you said." |
[01:02] | <Cass> | "That
one has a black hat on. And whether or not they're nice guys is
irrelevant. They're dangerous and hallucinating. But as long as it's
only you at risk, fine." |
[01:02] | <Snoogitov> | [hahaha black hat] |
[01:03] | <Snoogitov> | "You guys all gotta grow a pair of balls." |
[01:03] | <Snoogitov> | Loki looks at the females. |
[01:03] | <Snoogitov> | "Not literally." |
[01:03] | * Cass | draws the shotgun, and passes his Taser to Acerbus. "You'll get one shot. Wait for me to fire, then take it." |
[01:03] | <Pig_catapult> | Acerbus nods. "They. . . won't die from it, will they?" |
[01:03] | <Snoogitov> | "Wait for me to try this shit out, man. You gotta think. If they want beef, we'll bring the ruckus." |
[01:04] | <Cass> | [female, singular. Acerbus is male, averna is female but she's a ghost living in his head and has no body for balls to grow on] |
[01:04] | <Cass> | "No. That's what this is for." |
[01:04] | <Snoogitov> | [right, still somewhat confused about that, give it time to sink in] |
[01:04] | <Pig_catapult> | [For reference, Epiphany is the only female-bodied person there.] |
[01:04] | <Snoogitov> | "Okay well I'm going to go distance myself from you so you don't cry like a girl." |
[01:04] | <Cass> | [well, loki's basically a girl, but we don't talk about it out of respect.] |
[01:05] | <Snoogitov> | Loki looks for an angle to approach some cowboys without drawing direct attention to the others. |
[01:05] | <Cass> | "Go stand in my field of fire." |
[01:05] | <Snoogitov> | Loki sneaks up on the nearest cowboy. |
[01:06] | <Snoogitov> | Loki taps him on the shoulder. |
[01:06] | <Lincoln> | one of the cowboys is preping dynamite, you might be able to sneak up to him without them noticing |
[01:06] | <Pig_catapult> | Acerbus very, very carefully starts taking aim now |
[01:06] | <Lincoln> | roll 3d6 |
[01:06] | * Cass | aims at the cowboy furthest from loki, and will do so until Loki starts annoying him. |
[01:06] | <Pig_catapult> | Acerbus aims for the guy most in the middle. |
[01:07] | <Snoogitov> | [15] |
[01:07] | <Cass> | [ouch] |
[01:07] | <Cass> | [you've got me-level luck] |
[01:07] | <Snoogitov> | [that's not good?] |
[01:07] | <Snoogitov> | [are we low oriented?] |
[01:07] | <Snoogitov> | [I was all excited |
[01:07] | <Pig_catapult> | [yes] |
[01:07] | <Snoogitov> | ] |
[01:07] | <Cass> | [yes] |
[01:08] | <Snoogitov> | [but Loki's a ninja.] |
[01:08] | <Lincoln> | [yes] |
[01:08] | <Snoogitov> | [and Abe Lincoln imagined him as a super ninja.] |
[01:08] | <Snoogitov> | [ergo I should like travel via SHADOW or some bullshit] |
[01:08] | <Cass> | [loki's a canadian] |
[01:08] | <Pig_catapult> | [That's the way the cookie crumbles] |
[01:08] | <Snoogitov> | [correction: travel via shadow and chop wood] |
[01:08] | <Cass> | [he travels via zamboni] |
[01:08] | <Pig_catapult> | [Zambonis are cool] |
[01:09] | <Lincoln> | [for now, let's assume it failed, 15 is pretty bad] |
[01:09] | <Cass> | [yes. Also, the opposite of stealthy] |
[01:09] | <Snoogitov> | [gotcha] |
[01:09] | <Cass> | [don't feel too bad, cass has massive per and I haven't rolled below a 10 on a per-check so far] |
[01:10] | <Lincoln> | alrighty,
loki almost gets up to the cowboy without raising any attention to
himself, but then trips on some dynamite and lands on top of the cowboy |
[01:10] | <Pig_catapult> | [In a compromising position? >:3 ) |
[01:10] | <Pig_catapult> | *] |
[01:11] | <Snoogitov> | "Oh hey, cowboy. How're the cows?" |
[01:11] | <Snoogitov> | Loki struggles to at least socially recover, but is embarassed at his very limited cowboy knowledge. |
[01:11] | <Cass> | "Our ninja, ladies and gentlemen." |
[01:12] | <Snoogitov> | "Or boys." |
[01:12] | <Snoogitov> | "Or are you part-cow?" |
[01:12] | <Snoogitov> | "You're more man than boy." |
[01:12] | <Snoogitov> | "Excuse me, I am crushing you, cowman." |
[01:12] | <Snoogitov> | Loki tries to stand up. |
[01:12] | * Cass | looks at Acerbus. "Be ready to fire." |
[01:12] | <Lincoln> | "I. what?" |
[01:13] | <Snoogitov> | Loki helps him up. |
[01:13] | <Lincoln> | "what kind of sissy ass boy are you? where'd you come from?" |
[01:13] | <Pig_catapult> | Acerbus doesn't nod, because he's too busy focusing on his shot |
[01:13] | <Snoogitov> | "I was sent by the president of the United States of America." |
[01:13] | <Snoogitov> | "To check out this project you have here." |
[01:13] | <Snoogitov> | "So." |
[01:14] | <Snoogitov> | "Gimme the skinny." |
[01:14] | <Lincoln> | "The president?" |
[01:14] | <Snoogitov> | "Of the United States." |
[01:14] | <Lincoln> | "heh, figures, never respond to our requests for marshals, never for aid" |
[01:15] | <Lincoln> | "but the second we get even a lick of gold, taxman pops up" |
[01:15] | <Snoogitov> | "No taxman, sir. What? How dare you." |
[01:15] | <Snoogitov> | Loki knows from punk music that tax men are evil. |
[01:16] | <Lincoln> | "No taxman? Then what are you doing here? What else would the federal government want with a bunch of treasure" |
[01:16] | <Snoogitov> | "Let's just say I'm a friend. And uh. I can marshall shit. I guess?" |
[01:16] | <Snoogitov> | Loki thinks. |
[01:16] | <Snoogitov> | "Okay, I'll come clean. The president hasn't sent any marshalls, because..." |
[01:16] | <Snoogitov> | Loki sighs. |
[01:17] | <Pig_catapult> | [relevant: http://youtu.be/iqCn5nuasHM ] |
[01:17] | <Snoogitov> | "...he honestly has no clue what the hell is going on here." |
[01:17] | <Snoogitov> | "So he sent me to actually find out for certain what this operation IS, even." |
[01:18] | <Pig_catapult> | [skip to 1:25] |
[01:18] | <Lincoln> | "uh.
this… this operation isn't really a government operation… We're
treasure hunters. We uh, we found a safe rumored to contain aztec
cold,left by cortez himself!" |
[01:19] | <Snoogitov> | Only a few of those things make sense to Loki. |
[01:20] | <Snoogitov> | "Oh. Alright. So you're loading up this giant cart with bombs and you're going to blow up this safe?" |
[01:20] | <Lincoln> | he seems pretty proud of it, a couple others are gathers around loki at this point |
[01:20] | <Lincoln> | [just to be clear loki, the minecart has a very large safe in it too" |
[01:20] | <Lincoln> | "well yeah, how else you propose we get to the gold? |
[01:21] | <Snoogitov> | "Can I see the safe? I might have an idea." |
[01:21] | <Lincoln> | one of the other cowboys will draw his gun at loki |
[01:21] | <Cass> | [Snoogy, Viktor is dead. How do you propose to steal without him?] |
[01:22] | <Lincoln> | "You trying to steal our gold right out from under us boy?" |
[01:22] | <Snoogitov> | [Loki doesn't give a shit about gold. He just wants bombs.] |
[01:22] | <Snoogitov> | "No sir, in fact, you can search me if my idea works out. I won't have any gold on me. I don't even like gold. Allergic." |
[01:22] | <Snoogitov> | This all makes perfect sense to Loki, and it shows. |
[01:23] | <Lincoln> | "Allergic? To gold? Ain't never heard of nobody who didn't want gold" |
[01:23] | <Snoogitov> | "Well, sir, I am the close friend of the most powerful man in the country. What use could I have for gold?" |
[01:23] | <Lincoln> | "Now listen her son, You walk away right here, right now, we don't have to start filling you full of holes" |
[01:25] | <Snoogitov> | "Woah,
friend, I don't want your gold. Jeez. You found it. I DO, however, want
your explosives. The president is a real stickler about those, and they
might not be up to regulation. But that's bullshit for you because
that's your safe, right?" |
[01:25] | <Snoogitov> | "So I'm suggesting. Stay with me here." |
[01:25] | <Snoogitov> | "That I open the safe another way, if I can, and you can watch me, I have government tools." |
[01:25] | <Snoogitov> | "If I make any move for the gold then kill me, I don't care." |
[01:26] | <Snoogitov> | "But if I do as I say, you give me your explosives, and I won't tell the president a word about this." |
[01:26] | <Lincoln> | the other men are all looking at eachother |
[01:26] | <Lincoln> | back and forth |
[01:26] | <Snoogitov> | "Yeaaah? Yeeeeeahhh?" |
[01:26] | <Lincoln> | "What kinda tool you got that could open this safe? You some kinda lock picker?" |
[01:27] | |<-- | Cass has left irc.synirc.net (nexus.hub.us.synirc.net downtown.tx.us.synirc.net) |
[01:27] | <Snoogitov> | "Lock chopper is more accurate." |
[01:28] | <Snoogitov> | Loki thinks some more, wondering how cowboys would react to his sword. |
[01:28] | <Lincoln> | "Lock… chopper?" |
[01:29] | <Snoogitov> | "See,
how I get it open isn't important. If I CAN get it open, it's all yours
whether I'm dead or alive, and if I can't get it open, then I just walk
away and you use your explosives." |
[01:29] | <Snoogitov> | "It's win-win for you." |
[01:30] | -->| | Cass (~Cassie@synIRC-55F8CE75.dllstx.fios.verizon.net) has joined #icarusproject |
[01:31] | <Snoogitov> | "So c'mon Cowmen, show me the safe." |
[01:31] | <Lincoln> | "Alright pretty boy, you got a deal, you go ahead and try and open that safe" |
[01:31] | <Snoogitov> | "Thanks bro." |
[01:32] | <Lincoln> | he shows you the minecart, and indeed there is a safe inside it covered in dynamite |
[01:34] | <Snoogitov> | Is there a space for Loki to lightsaber the door without blowing up dynamite? |
[01:35] | <Lincoln> | uhh if you brush some dynamite sure |
[01:35] | <Snoogitov> | Loki gingerly lifts some dynamite away from the safe. |
[01:35] | <Snoogitov> | He clears a space to Qui Gon Jinn the safe door. |
[01:36] | <Lincoln> | alrighty loki, you have a clear shot |
[01:36] | <Snoogitov> | How many cowboys are watching? |
[01:36] | <Lincoln> | uhh 5, which is all of them |
[01:37] | <Lincoln> | also another thing to note, this is probably waaayyyy to much explosives already |
[01:37] | <Lincoln> | and they seem to have planned to use more |
[01:37] | <Snoogitov> | Loki thinks about asking them to close their eyes. But then he realizes he doesn't care. |
[01:37] | <Snoogitov> | "Okay you're about to see some crazy wazy government bullshit that'll blow your minds. |
[01:37] | <Snoogitov> | " |
[01:38] | <Snoogitov> | Loki draws his sword |
[01:38] | <Snoogitov> | And drives it slowly into the lock |
[01:38] | <Lincoln> | alrighty, explain what the sword looks like, for cassy acerbus's and piff's sake |
[01:39] | <Snoogitov> | Picture a white Katana hilt, except instead of a metal blade, it's a glowing green curve. |
[01:39] | <Pig_catapult> | [So. . . katana lightsaber?] |
[01:39] | <Snoogitov> | [basically, the green is solid though] |
[01:39] | <Snoogitov> | [no gradients] |
[01:40] | <Snoogitov> | [originally it was just a sword that lit up all rave style - Loki is kind of tacky sometimes] |
[01:40] | <Snoogitov> | [but Lincoln didn't know that, so he thought it was a real lightsaber] |
[01:40] | <Pig_catapult> | [oooh, I see] |
[01:40] | <Pig_catapult> | [does it make lightsaber noises?] |
[01:41] | <Snoogitov> | [faintly, I guess] |
[01:41] | <Snoogitov> | [huh. Never considered that.] |
[01:41] | <Snoogitov> | [Hydro?] |
[01:42] | <Lincoln> | [I'm fine with it making light saber noises] |
[01:42] | <Snoogitov> | [yeah it does.] |
[01:44] | <Lincoln> | alrighty,
loki manages to pierce the sword into the top of the safe, I imagined
he was standing on top of it, plunging it in, correct? |
[01:44] | <Snoogitov> | [I was thinking I'd just melt the lock, but that works too] |
[01:44] | <Snoogitov> | [more Loki-ish] |
[01:45] | <Lincoln> | [the lock is on the top anyways] |
[01:45] | <Lincoln> | Alrighty, loki, and everyone else hears and earshattering scream |
[01:45] | <Lincoln> | The minecart and safe turn into the shuttle once more. |
[01:45] | <Cass> | [fuck, it was a prisoner] |
[01:46] | <Cass> | [oh] |
[01:46] | <Lincoln> | the cowboys are all cowering on the ground |
[01:46] | <Snoogitov> | Loki's eyes go wide. |
[01:46] | <Lincoln> | in the fetal position, for the rest of you, it's bad, but not that bad |
[01:46] | <Snoogitov> | Loki's mind goes blank. |
[01:46] | <Snoogitov> | "wat" |
[01:46] | |<-- | Zemyla has left irc.synirc.net (Ping timeout) |
[01:47] | <Cass> | "KEEP CUTTING!" |
[01:47] | <Lincoln> | "WHERE DID YOU COME FROM!?" |
[01:47] | <Cass> | "Loki, that's an order!" |
[01:47] | <Snoogitov> | "I DON'T KNOW I'M SORRY" |
[01:47] | <Snoogitov> | "SHUT UP CASSY YOU'RE OLD" |
[01:47] | <Lincoln> | "HOW DID YOU GET HIS POWER?" |
[01:47] | <Pig_catapult> | A whimper that probably wasn't Acerbus rises from his throat |
[01:47] | <Cass> | "Loki, I want that thing in pieces smaller than my testes, and I want it yesterday!" |
[01:48] | <Cass> | "Averna, sorry, but I want an analysis of Loki's sword, ASAP." |
[01:48] | <Snoogitov> | [so what am I cutting? I'm a little confused] |
[01:48] | <Cass> | [you just cut into the shuttlecraft] |
[01:49] | <Lincoln> | [the evil one.] |
[01:49] | <Pig_catapult> | Averna mutters "I hate you" and Acerbus's right pupil lights up. |
[01:49] | <Snoogitov> | [so why the screaming?] |
[01:49] | <Pig_catapult> | [it's alive] |
[01:49] | <Snoogitov> | [wat] |
[01:49] | <Snoogitov> | "WHY IS IT YELLING AT ME?! |
[01:49] | <Snoogitov> | " |
[01:49] | <Cass> | "I'll get you a prisoner to torture or something." |
[01:50] | <Cass> | "Because it's crazy and evil. Kill it, ninja!" |
[01:50] | <Snoogitov> | Loki feels appreciated. |
[01:50] | <Pig_catapult> | Averna cringes, and Acerbus drops the taser in her haste to cover that eye up. |
[01:50] | <Lincoln> | "KILLL HIIIM" |
[01:50] | <Snoogitov> | "AYE AYE!!!" |
[01:50] | <Snoogitov> | Loki starts hacking away with his lightsaber. |
[01:50] | * Cass | opens fire on the cowboys. |
[01:50] | <Lincoln> | all the cowboys get up like they are in a trance, guns point at loki |
[01:51] | <Pig_catapult> | "The brightest, darkest red I've ever seen." |
[01:51] | <Lincoln> | alrighty, cassy combat rolls |
[01:51] | <Cass> | HA |
[01:51] | <Cass> | 6 |
[01:52] | <Lincoln> | alrighty you manage to snipe one of the cowboys in the head |
[01:52] | <Cass> | [rifle is 20, so shotgun IIRC defaults to 18] |
[01:52] | <Pig_catapult> | [sounds right to me] |
[01:52] | <Lincoln> | [I assumed you went with the rifle?] |
[01:53] | <Cass> | [there weren't any rifles, I thought, which is why he took the shotty.] |
[01:53] | <Pig_catapult> | [Didn't Janus have the rifle when he turned into a pickle?] |
[01:53] | <Lincoln> | [uh I thought you had a rifle on you… like, a normal rifle.] |
[01:54] | <Cass> | [I never specified anything beyond the taser and the shotty I loaned to janus, but I'll take it.] |
[01:55] | <Lincoln> | [also, i said no Anti material rifles, not no rifles at all] |
[01:55] | <Lincoln> | [uhh didn't I? That's what I was trying to say...] |
[01:56] | <Cass> | [also no ARs, and even cass wouldn't anticipate needing a sniper's rifle aboard ship] |
[01:56] | <Cass> | [whatever, I'll take the rifle or the shotty] |
[01:56] | <Lincoln> | alrighty then, cass has a rifle which he used to shoot one guy in the head |
[01:56] | <Cass> | [it |
[01:56] | <Cass> | s only a 50' range] |
[01:58] | <Cass> | "I'm going to kill each of you, then use that sword to cut the shuttle down for dildos!" |
[01:59] | <Pig_catapult> | ". . . Do I even want to know what you plan to do with those?" Averna asks. |
[02:00] | <Lincoln> | loki, okay, one cowboy shot loki in the shoulder, loki is able to dodge the rest" |
[02:00] | <Cass> | "Anything to get attention away from Loki." |
[02:00] | <Cass> | "It's a long shot, but I don't think the sword has the power, I think it's him." |
[02:00] | <Lincoln> | they don't appear to notice you assy |
[02:00] | <Lincoln> | uh |
[02:00] | <Lincoln> | cassy |
[02:00] | <Cass> | "Meaning he can't die until after we kill the shuttle.' |
[02:00] | <Cass> | [like I said, long shot] |
[02:01] | <Lincoln> | [understood] |
[02:01] | <Pig_catapult> | She's still covering Acerbus's right eye with both hands, but glances around with the other. Are the shadow's good? |
[02:01] | <Pig_catapult> | *shadows |
[02:01] | <Lincoln> | Shadows? |
[02:02] | <Pig_catapult> | More specifically, Acerbus's shadow |
[02:02] | <Pig_catapult> | Also, I rolled an 11 against 12 for my resist-phobia roll. |
[02:02] | <Lincoln> | good |
[02:03] | <Lincoln> | uh yes, actually, it was high noon before, but it appears the sun has faltered a bit and gone down |
[02:03] | <Pig_catapult> | Can she get behind one of 'em? |
[02:04] | <Lincoln> | yes, she could jump through the shadow of the shuttle |
[02:04] | <Pig_catapult> | Alrighty. |
[02:04] | <Pig_catapult> | "Gonna try something," Averna says. "Try not to hit me." |
[02:05] | <Snoogitov> | Loki
takes the bullet like a champ. The pain is, yep, it's definitely real.
Ouch. Okay. I may or may not be dead, but that bitch stung like I'm
alive. |
[02:05] | <Snoogitov> | A familiar feeling sweels in Loki's veins. |
[02:06] | <Pig_catapult> | She
teleports down behind one of 'em, rolls 12 against 13 for dex to put
her hands around his neck, and starts squeezing. The guy's flesh also
starts to sizzle. |
[02:06] | <Snoogitov> | It's something he hasn't felt in years, a feeling that makes him feel invincible. |
[02:06] | <Snoogitov> | Pure adrenaline. |
[02:06] | <Snoogitov> | "YOU COWMEN FUCKERS CAN'T DO SHIT TO ME." Loki stabs into the shuttle, his face tensing up in focus. |
[02:06] | <Snoogitov> | "I HAVE BEEN SHOT, BURNT, BEATEN, AND STABBED - BUT I'M STILL ALIVE." |
[02:07] | <Pig_catapult> | She gets Acerbus's mouth up next to her poor victim's ear, and whispers "Scream for me." |
[02:07] | * Cass | puts a bullet through the eye of the one that shot loki. [rolled 5] |
[02:07] | <Snoogitov> | "I HAVE BEEN COVERED IN URINE, BLOOD, EXCREMENT, AND ALL SORTS OF UNSAVORY SUBSTANCES - BUT I'M FUCKING ALIVE." |
[02:07] | <Cass> | "He's even been killed once!" |
[02:07] | <Lincoln> | he screams like a little girl |
[02:08] | <Lincoln> | uhh that was for averna |
[02:09] | <Pig_catapult> | Averna absently licks Acerbus's lips. "I think I'll be keeping your finger after this. Been a while since I took one of those." |
[02:09] | <Pig_catapult> | *your ring finger |
[02:09] | <Snoogitov> | Loki grits his teeth. |
[02:10] | <Pig_catapult> | [way to go, me, forgetting the most important word in the sentence] |
[02:10] | <Lincoln> | he faints. apparently averna scared a hypnotized man. |
[02:10] | <Lincoln> | also loki 3d6 please |
[02:10] | <Lincoln> | this is for a strength role |
[02:11] | <Pig_catapult> | Averna grins, and shoves him at the nearest other cowboy [rolled 5 against 15] |
[02:11] | <Snoogitov> | "IF
YOU COW FUCKERS, OR YOU, SHUTTLE-TURD, THINK YOU HAVE EVEN A FAINT
FUCKING..." Loki grunts with the effort "...SHOT OF TAKING ME DOWN. I
WANT YOU TO KNOW SOMETHING AND LISTEN WELL - I'VE FACED WORSE, AND
SURVIVED BY ACCIDENT." |
[02:11] | <Snoogitov> | "THIS IS ME SURVIVING ON PURPOSE. YEAH!" |
[02:11] | <Snoogitov> | [3, bitch] |
[02:11] | <Lincoln> | I. |
[02:11] | <Lincoln> | 3? |
[02:11] | <Snoogitov> | [Yeah nigga] |
[02:11] | <Snoogitov> | [want screencaps?] |
[02:11] | <Pig_catapult> | [That is the most critical of successes] |
[02:12] | <Lincoln> | no no I believe you |
[02:12] | <Lincoln> | uhh |
[02:13] | <Lincoln> | alright loki slices the entire shuttle in half, it wretches in horrible horrible agony |
[02:14] | <Snoogitov> | [fucking awesome. Can't think of a better time for me to have that roll] |
[02:14] | <Snoogitov> | [maybe to survive heroin] |
[02:14] | <Lincoln> | the hallucinations all quickly start to evaporite, leaving everyone once again on the deck of the shuttle |
[02:15] | <Lincoln> | [first crit success of the game if I recall] |
[02:15] | <Cass> | [yep] |
[02:15] | <Cass> | [good time for it, too] |
[02:15] | <Snoogitov> | Loki sheathes his sword. |
[02:15] | <Pig_catapult> | [I couldn't agree more] |

[02:16] | <Cass> | [is Averna standing down?] |
[02:16] | <Lincoln> | [I was just thinking, alrighty I know exactly what to do as long as he doesn't roll a-god damn it a 3] |
[02:16] | <Snoogitov> | Bleeding from his shoulder, he cracks his neck like a pro. |
[02:16] | <Snoogitov> | Hand on hilt, he turns his head to the others. |
[02:16] | <Snoogitov> | "So what now bros?" |
[02:17] | <Cass> | "Nice to see your vacation hasn't made you soft. I don't think you could have done that back on earth." |
[02:17] | <Pig_catapult> | Averna draws her knife and goes over to the fainted guy. "Now. . . I decide left or right." |
[02:17] | <Snoogitov> | "Fuck yeah I could have. I'm a ninja. What do you know?" |
[02:18] | <Lincoln> | "this…this…is not the last time you've heard fro- from me…" |
[02:18] | <Snoogitov> | Loki frowns and turns his body away. |
[02:18] | <Cass> | "Come, talk to me, and don't pay any attention to what you may or may not hear." |
[02:18] | <Lincoln> | The shuttle is still speaking |
[02:18] | <Pig_catapult> | Epiphany flips it the bird. |
[02:18] | <Cass> | "When we debrief, that man was already dead." |
[02:19] | <Pig_catapult> | Averna nods, picks right, and gleefully harvests her trophy. |
[02:19] | <Lincoln> | actually, loki, gimmie another 3d6 |
[02:19] | <Cass> | "Now that Averna's done, we leave and have them dump the trash into space." |
[02:19] | <Lincoln> | this will be mental |
[02:19] | <Lincoln> | will to be specific |
[02:20] | * Cass | turns on the radio. "Captain, mission accomplished, minimal casualties." |
[02:20] | <Lincoln> | "Jesus what happened down there?!" |
[02:21] | <Snoogitov> | [8] |
[02:21] | <Snoogitov> | [1,2,5] |
[02:21] | <Cass> | "You'll get a full debrief in person, not over an unsecured connection." |
[02:22] | <Lincoln> | alrighty, your sword wishes to draw itself, but you think you can resist if you wish, do you? |
[02:22] | <Snoogitov> | I do. |
[02:22] | <Snoogitov> | going "C'mon man, cut that out" |
[02:22] | <Lincoln> | it seems fairly insistent on the matter. |
[02:22] | * Cass | goes from impressed to worried to impassive in about 2 seconds." |
[02:22] | <Snoogitov> | "Don't be an asshole." |
[02:23] | <Snoogitov> | Loki holds the hilt with both hands. |
[02:23] | <Snoogitov> | frowning at it |
[02:23] | <Lincoln> | it seems to be bombarding you with come ons. |
[02:23] | <Pig_catapult> | Averna takes another peek with her Soulsight |
[02:23] | <Snoogitov> | Dude i JUST drew you. |
[02:23] | <Snoogitov> | er |
[02:23] | <Snoogitov> | "Dude, I JUST drew you." |
[02:23] | <Snoogitov> | "There's nothing left to slay man not now." |
[02:23] | <Snoogitov> | "Shut up." |
[02:23] | <Snoogitov> | "You heard me." |
[02:23] | <Pig_catapult> | Epiphany looks worried. |
[02:23] | * Cass | moves closer to support Averna. |
[02:23] | <Snoogitov> | "I don't care!" |
[02:23] | <Lincoln> | very dark red line seems to be leading off to some other part of the ship |
[02:23] | <Lincoln> | from it* |
[02:24] | <Snoogitov> | "You are a sword you are not sentient." |
[02:24] | <Lincoln> | alrighty snoogy another will check. |
[02:24] | <Snoogitov> | "I will NOT apologize." |
[02:24] | <Pig_catapult> | "It's connected to something that is," Averna says. |
[02:24] | <Snoogitov> | [10 - 1, 4, 5] |
[02:24] | <Lincoln> | itttt beats you this time. |
[02:24] | <Cass> | "Red lines?" |
[02:24] | <Pig_catapult> | "Yeah." |
[02:25] | <Pig_catapult> | Averna starts following the red line "Not sure where it goes. . ." |
[02:25] | <Snoogitov> | "Okay! Just for a bit!" |
[02:25] | <Snoogitov> | Loki draws his sword. |
[02:25] | <Cass> | "Captain, there may be an infestation, we're tracking." |
[02:25] | <Pig_catapult> | She is hoping that whatever it is,it's stabbable, too |
[02:25] | * Cass | takes aim at his hands. "Loki, put it up." |
[02:26] | <Lincoln> | "Wha- wha no! NO!" a visible to all dark crimsons light starts to appear around the shuttle |
[02:26] | <Cass> | "EVERYONE, OUT OF THE BAY NOW!" |
[02:26] | <Lincoln> | loki, the sword pulls itself straight into the air, and seems to be sucking in the light. |
[02:26] | <Pig_catapult> | Epiphany starts shuffling backwards away from it. |
[02:27] | <Pig_catapult> | Averna, meanwhile, is already sprinting for the door |
[02:27] | * Cass | heads for the door. "The shuttle is ACTIVE. When we're clear, flush the bay into space." |
[02:27] | <Snoogitov> | "HEY YOU CUT THAT SHIT OUT" |
[02:27] | <Snoogitov> | "CUT |
[02:27] | <Snoogitov> | IT |
[02:27] | <Snoogitov> | OUT" |
[02:27] | <Snoogitov> | Loki struggles to put it back in the sheathe. |
[02:28] | <Pig_catapult> | Epiphany waves to try to get Cass's attention |
[02:28] | <Lincoln> | alrighty, onnnee more will save |
[02:28] | <Snoogitov> | [Haha! 1, 2, 1] |
[02:28] | * Cass | grabs the doctor's strap. |
[02:28] | <Pig_catapult> | Epiphany smiles a little. "Thanks." |
[02:28] | <Snoogitov> | "YOU CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE IRRESONSPIBLE ABOUT THEM" |
[02:29] | <Snoogitov> | "MIND. YOUR. MANNERS." |
[02:29] | <Lincoln> | alrighty,
the sword is resheathed before it manages to actually consume the
light, which appears to wimper back to the bits of shuttle left. |
[02:31] | <Lincoln> | uh as wimpering as a colored light can look |
[02:31] | <Pig_catapult> | sulks, perhaps? |
[02:31] | <Lincoln> | yes, sulking too |
[02:32] | <Lincoln> | It's almost pitable |
[02:32] | <Snoogitov> | "I wish I could say that this happens sometimes." |
[02:32] | <Snoogitov> | "But it doesn't." |
[02:32] | <Snoogitov> | "I have no idea what that was about." |
[02:32] | <Cass> | [uh, everyone else is almost to the door] |
[02:32] | <Pig_catapult> | "RUN! IDIOT!" Epiphany yells at him. |
[02:32] | <Lincoln> | Also, averna, the line rapidly recedes |
[02:33] | <Snoogitov> | Loki rolls his eyes. |
[02:33] | <Pig_catapult> | Averna is not looking back. |
[02:33] | <Pig_catapult> | She's just running. |
[02:33] | <Pig_catapult> | She's probably not going to stop once she gets through the door out |
[02:34] | <Snoogitov> | Loki struts on after them. |
[02:34] | <Lincoln> | just to let you guys know, there are four unconsious dudes lying about on the floor. |
[02:34] | <Pig_catapult> | And the one dead dude? |
[02:34] | <Cass> | 2 dead dudes, IIRC |
[02:35] | <Lincoln> | who else died? |
[02:35] | <Pig_catapult> | Cass headshotted a dude, Averna cooked another guy's throat. |
[02:36] | <Cass> | [cass got 2, 'I thought] |
[02:36] | <Lincoln> | averna's dude miiiigghhhtt not be dead |
[02:36] | <Pig_catapult> | Fair. |
[02:36] | <Lincoln> | but cassy is right two are dead |
[02:37] | * Pig_catapult | is pretty bad at keeping track of body counts, tbh |
[02:37] | <Lincoln> | in anycase, 3 bodies lie on the floor |
[02:38] | [INFO] | The view “#icarusproject” has been saved to <file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Marie/Desktop/RPGstuff/Icarus/Shuttle%20Crisis%20pt%204.htm>. |
[02:38] | <Snoogitov> | Loki ignores them and brushes any dirt off of his white clothes |
[02:39] | <Pig_catapult> | Neither Averna nor Piff care enough to help them, either, and Epiphany's not physically capable of it. |
[02:40] | <Cass> | Cass considered them dead from the moment he saw them |
[02:40] | <Lincoln> | the captain will pipe up on the radio "We are going to evacuate the shuttle bay, is it all clear yet?" |
[02:41] | <Snoogitov> | Loki inspects his nails, and coughs. |
[02:42] | <Pig_catapult> | Averna is about halfway to her quarters by now. |
[02:43] | <Pig_catapult> | Once she gets there, she will lock the door and hide under the bed. |
[02:44] | <Pig_catapult> | [The communist dust bunnies will defend her] |
[02:44] | <Pig_catapult> | [. . . or something] |
[02:44] | <Snoogitov> | Loki yawns. |
[02:44] | <Cass> | [where's loki] |
[02:45] | <Snoogitov> | [he's by you] |
[02:45] | <Lincoln> | [You
know, I don't think I ever expected her to do that. I really don't
think I could have ever predicted a couple weeks ago he would do that] |
[02:45] | <Cass> | "Bay's clear. Lock the hatches, blow it into space." |
[02:45] | <Pig_catapult> | [Neither could I] |
[02:46] | <Cass> | [I thought loki was still dawdling] |
[02:46] | <Cass> | [sorry] |
[02:46] | <Cass> | [yeah, averna could really do with a ride in Janus right about now. Think Piff will loan her the pickle?] |
[02:47] | <Pig_catapult> | [I'm not sure that would occur to either of them] |
[02:47] | <Lincoln> | " Alright good opening the bay doors in 3-2-1… shit. Shit! why won't they ope- god damn it, are you sure the rooms clear?" |
[02:47] | <Snoogitov> | Loki realizes his shirt is getting stained red. |
[02:48] | <Snoogitov> | "SON OF A BITCH. I'm bleeding. I forgot." |
[02:48] | <Snoogitov> | Loki looks around. |
[02:48] | <Snoogitov> | "Anybody have some heroin?" |
[02:48] | <Cass> | "There's casualties, but they should be considered lost. They were under direct control and showed no signs of humanity." |
[02:48] | <Cass> | "They remain in the bay." |
[02:49] | <Lincoln> | "You fucking idiot when I ask you if there is anybody left in the bay, you fucking tell me" |
[02:50] | <Snoogitov> | Loki takes the radio. |
[02:50] | <Cass> | "No one who matters. Override the safties, blow the demon shuttle to hell." |
[02:50] | [INFO] | The view “#icarusproject” has been saved to <file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Marie/Desktop/RPGstuff/Icarus/Shuttle%20Crisis%20pt%204.htm>. |
[02:50] | <Lincoln> | "I can't you idiot lil-the AI won't let me." |
[02:51] | <Lincoln> | "Get those men out of there, now!" |
[02:51] | <Pig_catapult> | [This might be a job for NPC Crewman #3] |
[02:52] | <Cass> | "Cazzo. We warned you about that thing. Loki, we're on a retrieval mission." |
[02:52] | <Pig_catapult> | Epiphany writes, /Loki seems to be bleeding out./ |
[02:52] | <Cass> | [the taser fell outside the bay, correct?] |
[02:53] | <Snoogitov> | "Meh." |
[02:53] | <Cass> | "Bind it on the move. Let's go." |
[02:53] | <Cass> | "I'm only making one trip." |
[02:54] | * Cass | heads towards the crewmen. |
[02:54] | <Lincoln> | you can here a man running up behind you |
[02:55] | <Lincoln> | "DO NOT WORRY! SUPERMAN IS HERE TO SAVE THE DAY!" |
[02:55] | <Lincoln> | it is not super man. It is NPC crewman #3 |
[02:55] | <Pig_catapult> | [I'm going to go add that to his list of names] |
[02:55] | <Cass> | "Good to see you. Follow me, we're resquing your friends." |
[02:56] | <Lincoln> | he nods and follows |
[02:56] | <Lincoln> | [and awesome pig |
[02:57] | <Cass> | [how many crewmen survived?] |
[02:57] | <Cass> | [and where did acerbus drop my taser?] |
[02:57] | <Lincoln> | Cassy, you notice the rubble of the shuttle appears to be reforming |
[02:57] | <Pig_catapult> | [It should be at the top of the ramp thing?] |
[02:57] | <Lincoln> | think t-2000 from t-2 |
[02:58] | <Lincoln> | but very slow |
[02:59] | <Cass> | [how many crewmen are alive, and did loki follow me?] |
[02:59] | <Lincoln> | [2-4] |
[02:59] | <Snoogitov> | [assume Loki is following you but barely paying attention |
[02:59] | <Snoogitov> | ] |
[03:00] | <Snoogitov> | [sorry, that wasn't very clear at all] |
[03:00] | * Cass | indicates
the 2 most lively crewmen. "Loki, take that one to saftey, you, grab
the one on the right. I'll check the vitals on the other 2." |
[03:02] | <Snoogitov> | Loki
casts a dull look over Casimiro. It actually isn't quite at Casimiro,
more in the vague area, as if Loki doesn't take him seriously enough to
give him a direct look. |
[03:03] | <Snoogitov> | He looks at the crewman. |
[03:03] | <Snoogitov> | "Wasn't he a cowboy like two minutes ago? |
[03:03] | <Snoogitov> | " |
[03:03] | <Lincoln> | alrighty, npc crewman #3 takes picks up one of the fellows and drags him outside |
[03:03] | <Lincoln> | "Cowboy? Oh the things you come up with Robin, where's batman anyways? |
[03:03] | <Cass> | "Yes. It's not exactly any odder than what we used to get up to. Now get him to safety." |
[03:03] | * Cass | starts checking pulses. |
[03:03] | <Snoogitov> | "He's a pickle and I ate him." |
[03:04] | <Lincoln> | "ha! more good material… too good" |
[03:04] | <Snoogitov> | [Which cowboy was he? Does Loki recognize him?] |
[03:04] | <Lincoln> | [he was not a cowboy, he ran down the hallway] |
[03:05] | <Snoogitov> | [oh, okay] |
[03:05] | <Snoogitov> | "Nah, this guy wasn't. Alright, farter, I'll take him." |
[03:05] | <Lincoln> | also cassy burn throat guy is alive, other guy is not |
[03:05] | <Snoogitov> | Loki drags him out, potentially bleeding all over him. |
[03:06] | <Lincoln> | npc crewman #3 keeps a close eye on loki |
[03:06] | * Cass | grabs the living one and starts carrying him. "Doc, treat Loki." |
[03:06] | * Cass | snags the taser on his way out. |
[03:06] | <Lincoln> | you might wanna hurry a bit the shuttle is going faster |
[03:07] | <Cass> | [do you really want to force cass to choose between a human being and a weapon?] |
[03:08] | <Pig_catapult> | Epiphany writes /I'm not an MD!/ |
[03:08] | * Cass | runs as well as he can under the weight. |
[03:09] | <Lincoln> | [it's not a choice if it's his own life too] |
[03:09] | <Pig_catapult> | She rummages a roll of gauze and some cotton pads out of her pockets, offers them to Loki. She then starts texting medical |
[03:09] | <Cass> | [Cass abandons the weapn. Damn acerbus.] |
[03:09] | <Pig_catapult> | [sorry] |
[03:10] | <Pig_catapult> | [Although technically it was Averna that dropped it] |
[03:11] | <Cass> | [I know, and it was my decision] |
[03:11] | <Lincoln> | alrighty, you manage to make it out, the door slams behind you, and you hear a lot of suction. |
[03:11] | <Pig_catapult> | /Outsid shttl bat. guy bleding out./ |
[03:12] | <Pig_catapult> | /gsw/ |
[03:12] | <Lincoln> | over
the loudspeaker now "alright everyone it's gone… anyone injured or
seeing any injured crewman, please alert medical or bring the to sickbay
if they're stable enough" |
[03:13] | <Lincoln> | pff will get a /what? I don't understand/ back |
[03:13] | <Pig_catapult> | [gsw is medical shorthand for "gunshot wound"] |
[03:13] | <Cass> | [true] |
[03:13] | * Cass | will get on the radio to medical. |
[03:14] | <Lincoln> | [oh is it? Okay that would have gotten an affermitive back then] |
[03:15] | <Lincoln> | in anycase, good stopping point, ja? |
[03:15] | <Cass> | please |
[03:15] | <Cass> | it's an hour later than I wanted |
[03:15] | <Pig_catapult> | Agreed |
[03:15] | <Pig_catapult> | I've been putting off my evening meds for 3 hours. >.> |
[03:16] | * Pig_catapult | takes them now |
