LordHighRikonian: OK. TO set the scene.
Proty's character is off doing god knows what.
LordHighRikonian: Safe to assume you guys
are at the club? :)
Dat Dude Gil: That seems to be a focal point of
all this mess, anyway.
Dat Dude Gil: er, the
InfinHorizon: How long has it been since the
last game, time wise?
LordHighRikonian: next day
Wushuwrior has left the room.
Dat Dude Gil: Well, what did we find out last
time?
Proteus454 has entered the room.
Dat Dude Gil: *turns to Ifreet* Welcome.
welcome all over again.
Proteus454: Neato. Sorry for my tarditude,
guys. Where were we, er, you?
LordHighRikonian: just starting
Proteus454: Spiffy
LordHighRikonian: everyone is at the club to
regroup
InfinHorizon: *is sitting at the bar, skimming
through the morning paper*
Proteus454: *Likewise*
Dat Dude Gil: *is also sitting at the bar, sipping
a coke, waiting to find out what happened
yesterday*
LordHighRikonian: brb
Dat Dude Gil: *to proty* did you discover
anything new yesterday?
LordHighRikonian: bak
Proteus454: Apart from Eric here? Not much.
InfinHorizon: TB: Just a man from another
dimension.......
Dat Dude Gil: *extends a hand to eric* hello
InfinHorizon: "Hi, I'm Erik Tremble." *Smiles
and shakes hand*
Dat Dude Gil: *smiles back* my name is
hamoi. Nice to meet you.
Proteus454: "So now Gentlemen...What's our
plan? Wehere do we all stand with what?"
InfinHorizon: "A pleasure" *Tips his fedora
back*
InfinHorizon: "Well, Let see, I've been
mistaken for a dead eco-terrorist and his father
in the past day, and I can't remember where I've
been the last month and a half. I'm not very
happy."
InfinHorizon: *Leans back in his chair*
Dat Dude Gil: Well, sometimes the only answer
lies within yourself, my son.
InfinHorizon: *Smiles*
Dat Dude Gil: I wonder how long until they
realize I don't have a clue as to what I'm
saying?
InfinHorizon: TB:Pity he doesn't know I'm
coming up on my 51st birthday
Proteus454: "I've had my own life disrupted
more than a little recetnly, so I can understand
your consternation. Myself, I remain convinced
this all ties together somehow...Not that I have
much evidence to back that up."
InfinHorizon: (Just to remind everyone TB =
Thought Balloon)
Proteus454: "Ironic, isn't it? A Lawyer acting
without evidence..." *Humourless grin and
chuckle*
Proteus454: (Natch)
Dat Dude Gil: (indeed)
InfinHorizon: "By the way, is George W. Bush
president?"
Proteus454: "I fear so."
Dat Dude Gil: *picks up a newspaper fand
begins reading* Dunno.
InfinHorizon: TB: Even in Alternate realities,
people have bad taste
Proteus454: "In any event, there doesn't seem
to be a lot for us to do at the moment...I
suppose all we can really do at this point is wiat
for something interesting to happen..."
Proteus454: "...But, then again, I suppose plot
devices don't just fall from the sky, do they?"
InfinHorizon: "Mr. Ibn-Faden, I remember you
mentioned, a 'Deenay" yesterday?"
Proteus454: "Fadlan. And yes, I did.
Deeyenay, the rap star. What of him, sir?"
Dat Dude Gil: *listens a bit but keeps reading*
InfinHorizon: "Today's paper states he
murdered on of his associates" *Passes paper*
Dat Dude Gil: Interessieren.....WAS? *flips
the page, looking for the story*
Proteus454: "hmm..."
Proteus454: *Shakes his head* "Sometimes I
wonder what this world is coming to."
Dat Dude Gil: hrmm. warum?
Dat Dude Gil: Why would he do that?
Proteus454: *Shrugs* "I'm sure he had some
sort of reason? Turf war? Avenging an insult,
something like that?"
Dat Dude Gil: *sighs and shakes his head*
LordHighRikonian: the door opens
LordHighRikonian: a guy in a jogging suit
walks in
Proteus454: *Casts a glance in that firection*
Proteus454: "Say, who runs this bar now
anyways?"
LordHighRikonian: looks middle aged. Wild
hair and beard
Dat Dude Gil: *looks at the entering figure*
InfinHorizon: *Stares at the figure with his most
piercing gaze*
LordHighRikonian: he walks over to Proty
Proteus454: "...So, how about those Cascade
Chevliers? I hear they havea good team this
year..."
LordHighRikonian: "I saw you on the news,
buddy"
Proteus454: *Turns to the fellow* "Hello sir."
Proteus454: "Indeed? Thank you. And how
may I help you?"
Dat Dude Gil: Schaut, wie er konnte Mühe
sein..
LordHighRikonian: "How much you know
about... hold on a sec"
LordHighRikonian: He looks at Erik
Proteus454: "Certainly."
LordHighRikonian: "Hey, I didn't see you
there! Dude, you totally scammed those pigs"
Dat Dude Gil: *sets the paper down*
LordHighRikonian: "These guys cool?"
InfinHorizon: "I believe you've mistaken me for
someone else" *Makes an angry face*
Proteus454: "yes, they can be trusted."
LordHighRikonian: "Hey, relax, no one's
looking for me"
Dat Dude Gil: Whew. someone not trying to
kill us for once.
Proteus454: "So, what did you wish to ask me
about sir? If it's a lawsuit, I offer reasonable
rates on consultation of all sorts..."
LordHighRikonian: "Uh, hold on a sec" (to
Erik): "Hey, these guys in?"
InfinHorizon: TB: Oh great, he thinks I'm the
son of my own counterpart. I'm too old for
this garbage
InfinHorizon: "Oh, there about as in the loop as
I am"
LordHighRikonian: "All right. If you're good
enough for ET, you can be trusted."
LordHighRikonian: "Hey, let's go to a back
room. I don't wanna discuss this in public"
Dat Dude Gil: *leans back and looks like he
knows what the hell they're talking about*
InfinHorizon: "Call me that even one more time,
I'll use your head for a coffee cup"
Proteus454: "...ET, sir?"
Proteus454: "Lead the way." *Follows the guy,
a tad more stiffly then necessary*
LordHighRikonian: "Whoah, why so tense,
SpaceCase?"
Dat Dude Gil: *follows*
LordHighRikonian: OK, there's a pool room
that's not being used
Proteus454: *Gritted teeth* "Tense? Me?
Don't be silly..."
InfinHorizon: "Excuse me, but I'm in a really
bad mood, and you'd better stay on my good
side....or else" *walks to pool room*
Proteus454: *Rounds on the guy as soon as the
door is closed* "Alright, how much do you
know about me, and what is it you need?"
LordHighRikonian: As the door closes, the
old guy looks at proty. "Huh?"
LordHighRikonian: (To Erik): "So,
SPaceCase, you gotta tell me, is it on again?"
Proteus454: *Freezes...Realizes what a
monumentally gigantic mistake he's just made...*
"Er, nothing. Just the drink talking, sorry."
InfinHorizon: "Mr. Ibn-Faldan just wants to
hear you confirm our plans. He wants you to tell
him the plan instead of me, because if I get
caught then he doesn't have to state that I
stated the plan. It's just a case of deniability,
you know."
LordHighRikonian: "Sheesh, man, you were
never this paranoid before"
Proteus454: "...Yes! That's precisely what it is!"
InfinHorizon: "We live in dangerous times.
Now stop waisting mine."
LordHighRikonian: (To Proty): "OK, look, I
ain't got all the specs. SpaceCase over there
always kept the master plans to himself, but
we're hitting Transdim"
Dat Dude Gil: gut außer...
Proteus454: *Nods* "I follow."
InfinHorizon: "Who is this space Case?"
*Looks at him directly*
LordHighRikonian: "Dude! ET, SpaceCase,
those guys hit your head or soemthing?"
Dat Dude Gil: *stnads behind mike and put on
his best business face*
Proteus454: "...Ah! I get it!"
InfinHorizon: "Yes and you understand why
those names are used, don't you, or don't you
understand what "Deniability" means? SO I ask
again, who is spacecase?"
Proteus454: "I understand completely, of
course."
LordHighRikonian: He gets kinda edgy.
"SpaceCase, oh shit! You're some kinda
replicant or soemthing!"
LordHighRikonian: He runs off
LordHighRikonian: he's at the door, opening it
InfinHorizon: TB: Being an eco-terrorist ain't
hard.
Dat Dude Gil: *runs after to catch him*
InfinHorizon: *Leaps after him*
Proteus454: *Dives to tackl him*
LordHighRikonian: you easily intercept him
LordHighRikonian: the three of you hit him
simulateously
InfinHorizon: "Excuse me, but that was very,
very rude"
Proteus454: "Sir, sir, please calm down. There
are no replicants in here."
InfinHorizon: "I am who I say I am. I'm Erik
Tremble"
LordHighRikonian: The guy's eyes are bugged
out
Dat Dude Gil: My son, you have some
explaining to do, and quickly
Proteus454: "He's right, you know."
Dat Dude Gil: *gets up* or else the operation
will be off, do you understand?
LordHighRikonian: The guy's eyes are bugged
out
LordHighRikonian: He looks a bit confused
Proteus454: *Picks the fellow up, dusting him
off* "Are you alright, sir? I can go and get you a
drink if you wish."
InfinHorizon: TB: Times like this, I wish I
were Telepathic. Ah well, there's always
torture.
LordHighRikonian: it dawns on you that this
guy has made chemical imbibement not jsut a
lifestyle choice but a reason for living
LordHighRikonian: "If your
Proteus454: Good lord, I might have
guessed.
Dat Dude Gil: This is going downhill very
fast..
LordHighRikonian: "Wait, hold on"
InfinHorizon: "Guys, could you take him to the
back room for a second? I need to get behind
the bar."
InfinHorizon: "Oh, and check him for wires,
weapons, and the usual"
Dat Dude Gil: Certainly. *extebnds his hand in
a peaceful-like getsure*
Proteus454: "Will do, sir." *Begins to do just
that*
InfinHorizon: "Bring everything to me"
LordHighRikonian: you find nothing of note,
except for a few baggies of various colored
powders
InfinHorizon: *Goes behind the bar*
Proteus454: "And what weird and wonderful
tearts might be these be, sir?"
LordHighRikonian: "Hey man! That's my shit!"
Proteus454: "And it shall be retruedn to you
once we get what we need."
Proteus454: "Or would you like us to tell the
nice policemen you own all this?"
LordHighRikonian: "Ha! I knew you were
damn replicant pigs!"
Dat Dude Gil: *leans down to the guy*and
what is a "replicant?"
LordHighRikonian: the guy faints
Proteus454: "This is getting ridiculous. Why are
we talking to him again?"
Dat Dude Gil: I assume he has information
about something. what, I don;t know yet.
Dat Dude Gil: *slaps the guys a bit to try and
get him to wake up*
Proteus454: "We may just have to wait for Eric
to shed some light on this."
LordHighRikonian: you see something weird
LordHighRikonian: a ripple of sorts
LordHighRikonian: it goes to the burnout
Dat Dude Gil: *pulls back* what was that?
LordHighRikonian: it hits teh burnout, and he
spontaneously combusts
Proteus454: *Steps away* "What in the..."
Dat Dude Gil: *jumps back*
LordHighRikonian: it vanished, and burnout is
now a charred and dying husk
Proteus454: "AARGH!" *Begins to roll him on
the ground to put out the flames*
Proteus454: *...Or not*
LordHighRikonian: ".... Transdim,... devil"
LordHighRikonian: then he dies
Proteus454: "...Well...I suppose...I honestly
have NO idea what just happened"
Dat Dude Gil: (is anything else one fire that we
should be worrid about?)
LordHighRikonian: no
Dat Dude Gil: "That was not, in the least, a
good thing."
Proteus454: "Indeed not."
Dat Dude Gil: *goes out to look for eric*
Proteus454: *Stays to inspect the husk and
surrouding area for anything that could even
possibly be construed as something witha
diaphonous resemblance to a clue*
InfinHorizon: *Stagers back* "I'm getting tired
of the brain farts"
Dat Dude Gil: "He called us devils.."
Proteus454: "No, he called whatever attacked
us devils. Or at least, I suppose he did."
Dat Dude Gil: "well, he saw devils
somewhere.." *holds up one of the baggies*
"...and I think he's seen a lot of them."
Proteus454: "Well, it wasn't hallucinogens that
did THAT to him" *Points at the husk*
Dat Dude Gil: "no, THAT, admittedly, looks
like it was real devils.. but why?"
Proteus454: "Good question. Mr. Tremble,
have you ever come across anything invisible
that causes people to burst into flames for no
apparent reason? That seems to be what we
were dealing with."
InfinHorizon: "Uhm, surprisingly, no. Why do
you ask?"
LordHighRikonian: he's not in the back room
withg you guys
LordHighRikonian: oh, guess he came back :)
Dat Dude Gil: (Yeah, I think he came back
after I found him :))
Proteus454: "Well, you see..." *Indicates the
ex-old guy* "It would appear something of the
sort just arrived."
InfinHorizon: Actally, I thought Gill came to see
me
InfinHorizon: Look up
LordHighRikonian: oh yeah.
LordHighRikonian: It's amazing what you can
miss ina sneezing fit
Proteus454: And I subsequently assumed that
tremble had been led back into the room.
Dat Dude Gil: (hehe isn;'t continutity such a
slippery thing? :))
Proteus454: Indeed
InfinHorizon: (Yeah, we're a regular Marvel
comics)
Dat Dude Gil: ( i don't think we're quite that
bad yet :))
InfinHorizon: *Mixing chemicals* "So, how is
the old guy?" *To Gill*
Dat Dude Gil: Somewhere between dead and
more dead.
Dat Dude Gil: I think you need to come take a
look.
InfinHorizon: "You're kidding? What did you
do?"
Dat Dude Gil: We didn't do anything! he just..
burnt up...
InfinHorizon: "As in, to a crisp? Spontaneous
human combustion? Wonderful." *Not smiling*
Dat Dude Gil: Yes, to a crisp. he said
something about devils before he died.
InfinHorizon: "Hmm....This seems familar...."
Dat Dude Gil: *shakes his head* This country
get weirder by the day.
InfinHorizon: *Stops mixing, and goes to the
back room*
Dat Dude Gil: *goes back with Eric*
LordHighRikonian: as you go back there, a
light wind whips up
LordHighRikonian: the corpse sits up
Proteus454: *Looks up from his search to see
teh corpse sitting up* "...Oh dear..."
LordHighRikonian: "Well well, imagien seeing
you here! Hahahahahahaha!"
LordHighRikonian: then it collapses again
Proteus454: *Stares, rubs his eyes and then
looks again* "Something must be wrong with my
processors...I need to trance more often..."
Dat Dude Gil: Om mani padme hum Om
mani padme hum... "What, was that?"
InfinHorizon: *Takes note of what Ibn-Fadlan
just said*
Dat Dude Gil: *goes over to the corpse for a
closer look*
LordHighRikonian: the corpse crumbles at
your touch
Proteus454: "This is very
interesting...Convoluted, but interesting
nonetheless."
Dat Dude Gil:
iOmmanipadmehumommanipad*stands back*
well, you see something new everyday..
Proteus454: "I can second that"
InfinHorizon: "OK, we need answers, and I'm
tired of having strange things happen here.
Agreed?"
Dat Dude Gil: (er, that really quick mantra was
supposed to be TBed -_-)
Proteus454: "Most definitely"
Dat Dude Gil: That's what I've wanted from the
start...
Dat Dude Gil: Well, have you found anything,
Mr. Fadlan?
InfinHorizon: "I have a plan...." *Big smile
stretches the width of his face like a sinister
python*
Proteus454: "I am open to suggestions, Mr.
Tremble"
Dat Dude Gil: What's that? *walks over to the
small table near the door*
Dat Dude Gil: *picks up something white and
square*.. It's an envelope. *opens it*
InfinHorizon: *Takes a seat to the nearest
table* "We're going to break in to Transdim"
Proteus454: "You believe they have the
answers we all seek?"
Dat Dude Gil: hrmm.. nothing inside.. *flips it
over, about to chuck it* Hey.. waitaminute..
Dat Dude Gil: umm. Guys? have any of you
heard of "the warehouse?"
InfinHorizon: "Not all, but a few"
InfinHorizon: *looks at Hamoi* "What are you
talking about?"
Proteus454: "A warehouse, you say?"
Dat Dude Gil: *hands the envelope to Eric*
Take a look.
InfinHorizon: *looks at the envelope*
Dat Dude Gil: (it's an old phoen bill envelope.
has an address and "the Warehouse" written on
it)
InfinHorizon: "On the other hand, let's go
check out this "warehouse". Anyone feel like
tagging along?"
Proteus454: "Certainly I shall."
InfinHorizon: *To Michael* "Good, you drive."
Dat Dude Gil: "Meybe there are some
answers, let's go."
InfinHorizon: "Park us about 2 blocks away
from the address"
LordHighRikonian: OK. YOu drive to the
industrial part of town, about two blocks from
the address
LordHighRikonian: It is in fact a warehouse
Proteus454: Surprise, surprise
Proteus454: "So, how shall we approach?"
Dat Dude Gil: wow. I never would have
expected something called the warehouse to
BE a warehouse, not in this city.
LordHighRikonian: Well, jsut wanted you to
know it wasn't a club called the Warehouse
InfinHorizon: "I'm going up top" *Fires his
grappler at the roof top* "Be back once I've
scouted. If I'm not back in five, call the cops, or
come save me"
Dat Dude Gil: (that's EXATLy what I was
referring to :))
Dat Dude Gil: *Waits*
Proteus454: "...So, a game of poker while we
wait?"
InfinHorizon: *Gets to the roof, and makes his
way to the Warehouse*
Dat Dude Gil: "......poker?"
Proteus454: "Yes, a game of chance played
with these cardboard representations. You see, I
deal you five cards and..." *Goes on*
Dat Dude Gil: *listens intenly, following his
exapmle, blahblahblah*
Dat Dude Gil: Sauger...
InfinHorizon: *Leaps from the roof, does a
somersault with half turn off the a street light and
lands next to the others* "Miss me?"
Dat Dude Gil: A little. *looks ta his cards* say,
what does four kings mean?
Proteus454: "...It meands that I fold, damn you
eyes."
Proteus454: "See anything, Eric? May I call you
Eric?"
InfinHorizon: "Sure, calle me Erik, and yes, I
saw some people watching a film of some sort.
Hippee looks. I suggest we approach with
caution, I can sneek in without much notice, can
you do the same?"
Proteus454: *Smiles* "I have my own little
talents, Erik."
Dat Dude Gil: "I've never tried, but I'm sure i
can"
InfinHorizon: "Then let's go" *Takes out his
dart pistol, and hits setting 1*
LordHighRikonian: ok. there's a large loading
door, and a smaller normal door
Dat Dude Gil: So how do we move in?
LordHighRikonian: both are closed
InfinHorizon: *Goes to nearest door, passes
through it, and unlocks it and opens it* "This
way"
Proteus454: *Sheds his jacket, tie, cufflinks and
all non-essentials* "I suggest a diversion. You
two are undoubtedly more stealthy then I am.
I go in through the loading dorr, and you two
can take the smaller..."
Proteus454: "...Or you could do that. That
works very well also."
Dat Dude Gil: omaniepadmehumom
*follows*
LordHighRikonian: OK, once inside, you hear
the hippie guy talking
InfinHorizon: *Gets out pistol*
InfinHorizon: *Looks at the hippee guy, and
see if he looks familiar*
LordHighRikonian: "...-ensional pollution man.
I mean they say it's like free power"
Proteus454: *Surreptitiously converts his
forearms to scythe-like blades*
Dat Dude Gil: *uts a hand on eric's shoulder,
and whispers* "let's try to abvoid senseless
violence, shall we?"
LordHighRikonian: "But it's gonna like crack
the doors, man. We need to hit it, man!"
Proteus454: *Whispering* "Oh, I plan to as
well. But they don't need to know that JUST
yet."
InfinHorizon: "It's Tranquilizers"\
LordHighRikonian: BTW, there is a cielign
high row of boxes between you and them
LordHighRikonian: you can see them, but are
not obviously visible to them
InfinHorizon: "These look like explosives to
you."
Proteus454: *As an afterthought, goes with
heavy meatllic maces instead of scythes*
LordHighRikonian: a large muscular guy with
a shaved head stands up. "How are we
supposed to do that? They killed Erik, and no
offense, but the rest of you guys don't know shit"
Proteus454: *Cocks an eyebrow at Erik, but
says nothing*
InfinHorizon: "Well, think I should try and pass
myself off as their leader?"
InfinHorizon: "See if it works this time?"
Proteus454: "What can we lose?"
InfinHorizon: "The element of surprise"
Dat Dude Gil: "you could try, at least it it'll
make a good distraction if myself and mike
stay hidden"
Proteus454: "Agreed"
Proteus454: "On both counts"
InfinHorizon: "Very well. Move to somewhere
away from me, then I'll enter"
Dat Dude Gil: *creeps away from erik*
InfinHorizon: "you too Michael"
Proteus454: "Understood." *Does so*
InfinHorizon: *Once they've gone, I walk
down the nearest aisle* "Need I quote Mark
Twain on the state of my demise?"
LordHighRikonian: bald guy: "OK, now I can
see this plan working"
LordHighRikonian: bald guy: "That is, if we
had one. Yo, SpaceCase, good to have you
back, Rainbow over there is a real shitty
leader"
LordHighRikonian: ok, 10 minute warning
here
InfinHorizon: *Walks to center stage* "And
what did I tell you guys about rushing into our
plans? Christ, I nearly got fragged cause of
your bungling, Rainbow"
LordHighRikonian: hippie guy: "Hey, man,
sorry, man. But Leon said he saw you fall into
the, uh, the vortex thingie"
LordHighRikonian: "How'd you survive that,
man?"
InfinHorizon: "And we just trust Leon, don't
we?"
LordHighRikonian: bald guy: "See, I told you
Leon was on too much shit!"
InfinHorizon: "Takes more to take me than
those Transdim-bulbs!"
Dat Dude Gil: om mani padme hum.. ome
mani padme hum..
Proteus454: *Crouching as he goes, moves as
steathily as possible into a position where he can
"Leap into action" if such a feat is required*
LordHighRikonian: bald guy: "So, ET, what's
the plan?"
Proteus454: hings seem to be going well.
Now it's just a question of whether he can
feed this line to them long enough to learn
anything or not.
Dat Dude Gil: *does the same*
InfinHorizon: "Because of the current heat, I
want all plans on hold for 2 days. We meet
back here at 2100, and make sure we get the
plan right this time. Right, Rainbow?"
*Looks at the hippee*
LordHighRikonian: Rainbow looks down
Dat Dude Gil: *Preferably in a different spot
from proty, other side of the building, if
possible*
InfinHorizon: "Everyone make sure there
homework is done. Dismissed."
LordHighRikonian: Rainbow: "Oh hey, I did
get us a new boat. This one's real sweet too"
Proteus454: Hmm...So far, so good.
InfinHorizon: "I'll want to see it, later. I'm
meeting with the muscle that got me out of
Transdim after Leon chickened on me. I'll see
you in 2, and we'll have a talk, Rainbow."
LordHighRikonian: ok.
LordHighRikonian: same Bat Tiem
LordHighRikonian: Same Bat Channel;
InfinHorizon: Same bat peril
