Ow.

Sekani is in a lot of pain.

He was halfway across the desert when he suddenly found his face full of sand. He was on a routine scouting mission, en route to the Lian homeland to gather intelligence for Tezakia's war. Maybe one of the Lians shot him down, but as far as he knows, they don't come this far into the desert.

His left arm is bleeding pretty badly. He will need to take care of the WOUND before too much time passes. There are doors to the NORTH and SOUTH. There is also more of this strange area to the WEST.

What should he do?

QUICKLY RETRIEVE SPARE ARM FROM MOUSE HOLE

Also, CHECK FUNNY PANTALOONS FOR BANDAGE

Investigate secret, but not so hidden doorway to the EAST.

Take care of that WOUND, bleeding is bad, mmkay. (And any other wounds)

OOC: the reason I didn't suggest this (other than making fun of the MYSTERIOUS DOORWAY TO THE EAST) was that I got the impression that the wound wasn't really treatable right now...

THough, I suppose he could rip off a piece of his pants. Better commit a fashion faux pas than bleed to death, I suppose!

Inspecting the wound's also probably a good idea![/ooc]

INSPECT WOUND before we go covering it up, just in case we need to REMOVE BULLET or something.

INSPECT WOUND before we go covering it up, just in case we need to REMOVE BULLET or something.

Sekani inspects his WOUND. That looks pretty bad. However, it doesn't appear to be a BULLET WOUND. As far as he can tell, there's nothing in there that needs to be removed.

Take care of that WOUND, bleeding is bad, mmkay. (And any other wounds)
Sekani would very much like to, but he doesn't have anything to wrap the WOUND with.

Also, CHECK FUNNY PANTALOONS FOR BANDAGE
Sekani's AWESOME TEZAKIAN FASHION PANTS contain no pockets, nor do they have any BANDAGES that he knows of.


Investigate secret, but not so hidden doorway to the EAST.

Sekani walks over to the MYSTERIOUS DOOR THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN HERE. It is much larger than the other doors, but there doesn't seem to be any way to open it from here.


QUICKLY RETRIEVE SPARE ARM FROM MOUSE HOLE

Sekani is pretty sure his SPARE ARM isn't in that hole. Of all the days to leave it at home.

OOC: well, may as well look at what's to the west first, no telling what's behind the doors. IF there's nothing there, then.... north?[/ooc]

Head west and see what's over there.

Oh and let's at least cover the blood wound with our other hand. WOn't stop it much, but it'd stop it some, right?

Ignore last command, rip off strip of pants and use it as a wound.

You're leaking pretty bad there. If you can't find anything to use as a bandage, rip a strip of cloth off the bottom of one of the pant legs. Don't want you to pass out from blood loss.

OOC: If those are pants, he could easily shread the ends of them to turn into BANDAGES. If they're not pants, tnen is he naked?

(OOC: bah, beaten, s'what I get for getting distracted while mid-reply >_>)

[I think I'm technically not supposed to directly respond, but they are, in fact, pants. Awesome and totally not silly in any way pants.]

He's got this sort of armband thing on his right shoulder; can that just be fashioned into a tourniquet? Best not tarnish those precious AWESOME TEZAKIAN FASHION SILLY PANTALOONS, after all.

Also, stick the wounded arm into that hole, to find out what that dot is. It may not be an evil cycloptical mouse, after all.

This. Use ARMBAND on WOUND.

Furthering this suggestion. Let's not bleed all over the floor, now.

stick the wounded arm into that hole, to find out what that dot is. It may not be an evil cycloptical mouse, after all.

OH GOD THIS HURTS SO MUCH.
Sekani sees something inside the hole, but is unable to reach it. One of those stupid spine-arms could probably get it with their tails, but Sekani would never even consider asking one for help.

He's got this sort of armband thing on his right shoulder; can that just be fashioned into a tourniquet? Best not tarnish those precious AWESOME TEZAKIAN FASHION SILLY PANTALOONS, after all.
The armband has no absorbent properties. Besides, it is very important to him and he would rather not risk damaging it.

You're leaking pretty bad there. If you can't find anything to use as a bandage, rip a strip of cloth off the bottom of one of the pant legs. Don't want you to pass out from blood loss.
rip off strip of pants and use it as a wound.

Sekani tries to tear his PANTS using his good arm. Oh for the love of--! Why did he have to buy the STRETCHY kind!?


Head west and see what's over there.

Sekani heads west. It looks like his BACKPACK has landed here. He sees his WATER CONTAINER (thankfully undamaged) and what looks like a syringe. In the corner, he sees what looks like a STRIP OF RANDOM CLOTH. He briefly wonders why anyone would leave cloth out in the open like that.

... 8| well that's convenient.

Use STRIP OF RANDOM CLOTH to BANDAGE the WOUND.

Retrieve BACKPACK and WATER CONTAINER (perhaps, even, consolidating the two??)

Inspect SYRINGE

OOC: Guin, one line commands =| Also, you took everything of note but...[/ooc]

Look at Sign and ponder its meaning

[No I will make as many commands as I want and you can't stop me >=(!!!!]

OOC: but what if I make the tears....

STOP TASTING SALTY[/ooc]

[PERHAPS YOU SHOULD JUST STOP LEAKING, MY DEAR]

OOC:How bout I make you start leaking >|[/ooc]

[I don't think you are a bad enough dude.]

OOC: But look! FANGY TEETH AND EVERYTHING[/ooc]

OOC: But my fangy teeth are smarter! They're attached DIRECTLY TO THE BRAIN (which is bigger than yours, by the by)[/ooc]

[Please, with your brains all exposed like that, you're too easy to take out! One solid whack and BAM, BRAIN DAMAGE]

OOC: You'd think Freakazoid would have thought of that.

[You'd think.]

Furthering this, search contents of BACKPACK (He may know what's in it but we don't!)

[It was there the entire time, yeah.

Though it didn't influence my reaction. They were always stretchy pants, too.]

OOC: actually, If I still have time to change this...[/ooc]

Look at Sign and ponder it's meaning, then look at door and see if we can figure out how it works/how to open it etc...

>TAKE ALL
>DRESS WOUND WITH BACKPACK STRAP
>WEAR BANDAGE AS BANDANA

NEVER MIND THIS ANSWER IS WAY BETTER

OOC: but it's not a bandage, it's a random cloth!

THIS

Ahem. Use portion of water to clear sand out of injury, if present, possibly also clear off STRIP OF CLOTH if it appears dirty in any fashion. CLOTH STRIP: Apply directly where it hurts. Retrieve backpack and take stock of contents, to save a picture.

Use STRIP OF RANDOM CLOTH to BANDAGE the WOUND.
CLOTH STRIP: Apply directly where it hurts.

Sekani picks up the AGED CLOTH. It is far too old and dirty to be used to dress his wound! There's a symbol on it. It doesn't look like any Tezakian or Lian markings that Sekani's familiar with.

>DRESS WOUND WITH BACKPACK STRAP
>WEAR BANDAGE AS BANDANA

Sekani feels incredibly bad-ass! He feels as if he could take on the entire world!


However, he had to use both straps to completely cover the wound, making the backpack completely useless now.


>Look at Sign and ponder it's meaning, then look at door and see if we can figure out how it works/how to open it etc...

"Sector 10, Rishkahn. Gods shall bow before us."
This sure seems ominous. The name sounds foreign, possibly Lian in nature. Sekani wonders what the intended purpose of this place is. It is obviously old and broken down now, but was it once a grand city? Maybe some kind of research facility? As far as he knows Lakicia, the tezakian goddess, has never been made to bow to anyone.

As for the door, it doesn't look like it can be opened from here. Sekani worries a little that the only way out may be up. His DAMAGED WING won't be in any shape for flying for a good while.

>Inspect SYRINGE

It looks like... well, like a syringe. The needle's been broken off-- could this be what he was shot with earlier? There is some STRANGE LIQUID still inside. Why would somebody shoot him with a syringe? It's not even a proper dart. Crashing with this in his arm must be why it's in such bad shape.

> Retrieve BACKPACK and WATER CONTAINER
> Search contents of BACKPACK

The backpack contains (from left to right) Sekani's FOOD RATIONS, a now broken GLOBAL POSITIONING DEVICE, an ID CARD which has a MAGNETIC STRIP on the back, and a MAP detailing his original destination. On the ground, his WATER RATION lies undamaged.

Because the backpack can no longer be held on his back, and because his left arm still really hurts, Sekani can only hold TWO ITEMS in his INVENTORY.

IGNORE THE CLOTH IN THE CORNER I FORGOT TO SAVE THE EDIT THAT REMOVED IT. IT'S ... A MIRAGE.

Use STRETCHY PANTALOONS as storage. 8D

OOC: What, like Hero from RPG word? [/ooc]

[Yeah man we can take along whatever we can stuff in our pants! THIS PLAN CANNOT FAIL.]

Man, go shove a lunchbox down your pants, and let me know how it goes. That is not a convenient way to do anything.

Psh as though convenience were ever an issue!

In all seriousness, we can probably fit everything inside the rations box, though. Maps and ID cards are not too big and the GPS is busted and useless anyway so no point bothering there.

... use BRACKETS [] to denote non-command discussions, else I'm ignoring all of this 8|

Man gosh fine 8|

OOC Well, since the food rations are in a box, and apparently count as one item...[/ooc]

Remove food rations from box, put everything else that will fit inside!

By that logic... why not just stuff everything into the backpack, and carry it around like a purse?

Truths. We can just hold it under an arm.

Actually, it has a flap that buttons. We can string the cloth under the flap and turn it into a satchel.

None shall deface the mighty bandana!

INDEED.

PERHAPS WE CAN USE THE ARMBAND FOR THIS PURPOSE INSTEAD.

OOC: no, he won't deface his armband without a huge reason, as previously stated.

[We don't need to deface it to use it like that, we just need to take it off, pass the flap through it, and then put it back on.]

OOC: Cause that won't strain the arm or stretch the band =|[/ooc]

Most of that stuff's going to be useless for now; no reason to lug stuff around quite yet.

>GO EAST
>GO SOUTH

Also, request for more detail on those things in the bag. Quantity and quality of rations, if there's any mention of anything useful nearby on the map (to Sekani's reckoning), anything that might be relevant to survival.

>Also, request for more detail on those things in the bag. Quantity and quality of rations, if there's any mention of anything useful nearby on the map (to Sekani's reckoning), anything that might be relevant to survival.
Sekani's LUNCH BOX contains 4 DRIED SEEDBREADs. The bread is baked with various seeds and artificial insect flavor. They are not the most delicious thing Sekani could be eating, but at least they try to simulate real food.
The map shows a few landmarks to help guide Sekani on his way. According to the map, he is just south of the "Rock that looks kind of like a puppy". Even without use of his wing, he could walk east and get out of the desert easily... and right into enemy hands.
The FOOD and WATER will keep him alive for a few days (The food would outlast the water, obviously) so long as he is careful with his rationing. Beyond that, he can't think of anything that would be a huge help in surviving. He didn't exactly expect to have to spend a week in the desert.



>Use STRETCHY PANTALOONS as storage.
>Stuff everything into the backpack, and carry it around like a purse
>PERHAPS WE CAN USE THE ARMBAND FOR THIS PURPOSE INSTEAD.

Uh...



>GO EAST
>GO SOUTH
Sekani decides to grab his ID CARD and MAP and store them in his... pants. He now feels KIND OF WEIRD. He decides to leave the rest here for now rather than lug them along in a feminine container. He swears to his food rations that he will return, and they will not die alone out here. He makes no promises about them surviving an encounter with his stomach, however.



The door opens! It's about time one of them did.
It's a little cooler in here. There appears to be a computer of sorts in the corner. Sekani wonders how it's getting power. There's also a DESK, a TRASH CAN, and a handy BENCH (presumably for waiting on).
Sekani would probably be waiting a very long time if he was to utilize the bench, though.

OOC: Okay, I'm doing this just to up Sakani's coolness points...[/ooc]

Flip headband arround so the mark is facing outwards to turn badass bandana into super badass bandana of awesome!

Search trashcan and desk, inspect under/behind bench, and investigate the terminal and screen (as it seems to have a display with something on it).

OOC: He did say restrict joint commands to 2 things for awhile, but you probably missed it. Also, since I wasted my turn, we can just see this as you going for both of us =D[/ooc]

SEARCH under RUG.

COMMANDEER PENCIL from DESK.

OOC: >|

You aren't paying attention to Slink either, he's saying a max of one line from now on! You can join commands, but only if they're similar enough to be done at once, and only up to 2 =|[/ooc]

[LOOK CHIBI SAID TO SEARCH THE DESK AND I SAID TO COMMANDEER A PENCIL FROM IT OKAY.]

OOC: but he broke the rules too!

...sorta >_>[/ooc]

Talk about over-thinking it.

>INSPECT ALL
>YOINK PENCIL

>Flip headband arround so the mark is facing outwards to turn badass bandana into super badass bandana of awesome!

HELL YEAH! Sekani feels even more bad-ass and slightly better drawn. He's like a whole new Tezakian. New And Improved, you might say. That would make a silly acronym.


>SEARCH under RUG.

There doesn't seem to be anything here. Sekani gets the feeling he has just uncovered one of the maintenance department's darkest secrets, however.


>Search Desk
>COMMANDEER PENCIL from DESK.

Hmm. The desk has several DRAWERS. It appears to be fairly fancy, albeit rather old. Inside one of the DRAWERS he finds a HAND WRITTEN NOTE attached to a NOTEPAD.

Sekani grabs one of the pencils and adds it to his "Inventory". And by Inventory we mean Pants. He is now very wary of making RAPID MOVEMENTS.

Draw VULGAR PICTURE on DESK and then stick PENCIL in ARMBAND for less paranoia-inducing storage.

EMpty trash contents

There is seriously no reason to lug this stuff around when it's all of a room away.

>TAKE ALL FROM PANTS

This is so incredibly hot.


>Empty trash contents

Trashcan emptied!


>TAKE ALL FROM PANTS
>USE PENCIL TO WRITE "ELBERETH" ON FLOOR
>PUT ALL IN BACKPACK
>PUT BACKPACK ON WRITING

Sekani has absolutely no idea who Elbereth is, but feels oddly compelled to write her name down and put all his stuff on top of it. For some reason, he feels at peace. Let's see anybody try to steal his stuff now!

Fashion HELMET from EMPTIED TRASH CAN

Briefly consider what happened to BANDANA while you were busy drawing INCREDIBLY ATTRACTIVE TEZAKIA FEMALE

search contents of emptied trashcan

I made an image showing the contents of the NOTEPAD recovered from the desk, but didn't include it here because I didn't realize until it was too late that it was missing.

READ NOTE will be the first thing to be shown tomorrow.

[Heeeeey what happened to the syringe? Wasn't it JUST HERE? Or did we consolidate that into the backpack with everything else on Bahu's command?]

[Oh dear!]

[... =O RUN RUBY!!!!]

OOC:SOMEONE'S PLAYING TRICKSIES ON US![/ooc]

[I'd sort of wondered if he was going to get annoyed we were ignoring the syringe. Oh well, time to get down to brass tacks]

>HAXRO TERMINAL

[Gotta go find out what we can do here if we're going to avoid hopefully-evitable doom.]

>READ NOTE SANS TOM HUGGING

Wow, that's inconvenient. It looks like the author of this note was pretty mad.

>Briefly consider what happened to BANDANA while you were busy drawing INCREDIBLY ATTRACTIVE TEZAKIA FEMALE
Sekani had set it aside while drawing because it kept getting in his eyes. He wonders what else he would be doing with--

Sekani decides not to entertain this line of thinking further.

>Fashion HELMET from EMPTIED TRASH CAN

"Warrrk!" Sekani tries to sound like a pirate. Everybody knows members of the Tezakian Pirates wear helmets. And eye patches.

>HAXRO TERMINAL

Sekani heads back inside and looks at the terminal. It seems like someone was in the middle of downloading something. Sekani decides to use his mad hacker skills to accomplish absolutely nothing.

Type HELP.

Perhaps the terminal has a list of commands!

>Type HELP.

Some text appears. Sekani scrolls through it...

[This isn't Daventry; just because you have a key card doesn't mean he has clearance. If he didn't even know this place existed, and it shot him down, it's probably not going to recognize him. Unless he's secretly some sort of secret president.]

OOC: Of course it doesn't mean he has clearance, but it's just as good as any other random number. If it doesn't work, nothing happens. If it does, we're getting somewhere.[/ooc]

WAIT.

Check PAPER HELMET / CONTENTS OF TRASH for TORN OFF PORTION OF NOTE.

>Type INTRODUCTION
Sekani removes the PAPER HELMET, realizing he's rather fond of his DEPTH PERCEPTION trait, and types on the console.

"Welcome to the Sapphire Research Center, Rish-kahn area 10.
It is our goal to make the world a better place.
Here at the Sapphire Research Center (SRC), we are hoping to unlock
the true power of our minds. There would be no need to build machines
to do our work for us, nor would we need hospitals to cure the wounded!

Sekani types in "Status".

Whoever programmed this thing was kind of a jerk.

>INQUIRE RISHKAHN


>Check PAPER HELMET / CONTENTS OF TRASH for TORN OFF PORTION OF NOTE.

Sekani takes apart the PAPER HELMET and searches both it and the VARIOUS PIECES OF PAPER for any sign of the torn code, but doesn't find it anywhere.

Inspect door. Is there any way we could force it open using our ID card to jimmy the lock? (IE are there any moving parts or is it just a pull-handle and a card slot?)

>Inspect door. Is there any way we could force it open using our ID card to jimmy the lock?
Sekani inspects the door, and finds that it isn't even locked! In fact, the mechanism that holds the door closed has been ripped off. Someone extremely strong must have forced their way inside.

Sekani enters the HALLWAY. Whoever was in charge of putting labeling over the doorways was obviously on more than one drug.

On the left, there's the RECOVERY ROOM and the BUNKER.
On the right, there's a RESTROOM, a SHOWER, and the MESS HALL.
At the end of the hall is what appears to be the COMMAND CENTER.

Which room should he check out first?

The shower. See which one is working!

I'd say the Recovery Room, to see if you can find legitimate medical supplies. And possibly get some insight as to what they were doing. Either way, let's avoid the RESTROOM for now. It needs cleaning, and I don't think we want to find out how badly yet.

Rip off Poster and see if there's anything behind it.

>I'd say the Recovery Room, to see if you can find legitimate medical supplies.

This door, however, is fully locked. Sekani grumbles a bit. This only happens when he's wounded!

>The shower. See which one is working!

Sekani enters the SHOWER ROOM. There's not much here.

... =o check WINDOW

Undress wound, properly clean wound in sink, redress wound.

>SEARCH FOR MISSING SIX SHOWERS
>USE CARD TO JIMMY THE CRAP OUTTA THAT RECOVERY ROOM DOOR [Though jimmying some carp out of it would be good, too.]

>Undress wound, properly clean wound in sink, redress wound.

Sekani cleans his wounds. The gash in his wing doesn't seem to be bleeding anymore. Thankfully, it also doesn't look infected.

>check WINDOW

Hmm. Sekani figures that tank to be the SOLAR POWERED WATER HEATER. It probably works a lot better during the daytime than it does at night. Given that there's only two shower stalls, there had to have been some really unlucky people who had to take some extremely chilly showers.

>USE CARD TO JIMMY THE CRAP OUTTA THAT RECOVERY ROOM DOOR

Sekani tries to unlock the door, but fails. Must not be the kind of door that can be opened that way.

Rip poster off wall and see if there's anything secret behind it.

Throw PRINNY at RECOVERY ROOM DOOR
Check the Bunker next!

Take SHOWER




Stuff in PANTS

OOC: I do not think a shower will fit in Sakani's pants.[/ooc}

[YOU'RE NOT MY MOM, YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT NOT TO SHOVE IN SEKANI'S PANTS]

OOC: I didn't tell you not to, just that I doubt he can[/ooc]

[The shower will totally fit in his pants! Not, y'know, the entire -stall-, but the shower-head- will fit! :D]

>TAKE SHOWER
>STUFF IN PANTS

Sekani feels that perhaps there is a flaw in this plan. But man, he is NOT JOKING about how insanely stretchy these damn pants are.

>Rip poster off wall and see if there's anything secret behind it.

That's odd... there's some DRIED BLOOD behind this poster. Sekani's doubts about the professionalism of the maintenance department increase dramatically.


>Check the Bunker next!
Sekani briefly ponders some kind of exploding penguin with which he could force open that darned RECOVERY ROOM door, but it passes. He enters the BUNKER ROOM.

This room's in a greater state of disrepair than the others he's been to. There is a STRANGE FABRIC on the ground. There is also a PILE OF CLOTHES. The room extends further WEST.

Check under every mattress and pillow for anything of note

OOC: The stretchyness of these pants has got to come in handy sometime... Unless he's exaggerating in those mental pictures of his.[/ooc]

especially that one mattress that obviously has something hidden under it.

Also: Hug Tom

OOC: TOM KISS SEKA-

er... no, let's not do that. Tom can't betray RUby like that.[/ooc]

Search PILE OF CLOTHES-- loot any pockets for key cards, keys, and/or loose change.

Inspect STRANGE FABRIC and APPARENT TEAR IN WALLPAPER

>Inspect STRANGE FABRIC and APPARENT TEAR IN WALLPAPER

Sekani finds nothing interesting inside the tear in the wall. It appears to have been ripped by something. The STRANGE FABRIC looks very soft and silky. Sekani attempts to pick it up, but it doesn't budge. It's stuck to the floor.


>Search PILE OF CLOTHES-- loot any pockets for key cards, keys, and/or loose change.

Sekani searches the PILE OF CLOTHES. He becomes slightly queasy from the smell. These were obviously not clean clothes even before they sat here for who knows how long. Searching the pile yields a STRANGE CARD with a MAGNETIC STRIP, and a STRANGE CRYSTAL that looks like it was made from various gemstones.


>Check under every mattress and pillow for anything of note

Under one of the BLANKETS, Sekani finds a journal! It appears to be very old. He skims through several pages that mostly talk about the author's attempts to get in with one of the female co-workers. Just as he's about to lose interest, Sekani finds something interesting.

READ THE NOTE SEKANI


Is it possible to walk over the fabric glued to the floor? IE, can we check by feel if there's actually floor under it or not?

ANything of note about the keycard or crystal, despite strangeness?

Look at Poster, remove poster, see if there's anything behind poster (more blood perhaps?)

>Is it possible to walk over the fabric glued to the floor? IE, can we check by feel if there's actually floor under it or not?
As far as Sekani can tell, there's a very solid floor under the cloth.

>READ THE NOTE SEKANI

"Those maniacs! I can't believe they thought to try that! Hahaha, but damned if they haven't done it! This is a glorious day for us! A glorious day for the entire world! We don't need machines. We don't need giant vehicles. We don't even need weaponry to fight our wars! We've unlocked the very power of the gods themselves."

"The power is ours..."

"Majicka!"


Majicka? Sekani has never heard this word before, and yet reading it sends a shiver down his spine. He can't shake the feeling that the discovery of "Majicka" is related to the current status of this facility.

>Anything of note about the keycard or crystal, despite strangeness?
The STRANGE CARD doesn't seem to be an ID card. It is likely used to unlock something.
The STRANGE CRYSTAL is very colorful and smooth. There's nothing else noteworthy about it.

>Look at Poster, remove poster, see if there's anything behind poster (more blood perhaps?)

It's... maybe a pinup poster? Sekani is unsure of the gender, or even the race of the creature on display. It looks almost familiar, but he doesn't know why. Just how old is this place?

Sekani removes the poster, but there's nothing underneath.

Check for doors that require KEYCARD ACCESS.

If they all do, go for that stubborn recovery room first.

OOC: Our inventory is full just holding the key card and crystal, right? We should probably keep these as they seem more important than the stuff on Elbereth, so we don't want them stolen by whoever shot us...[/ooc]

Check on wing arm's status. Does it still hurt? Is it getting any better (aside from the bleeding being over)

If none of the doors seem to need a KEYCARD, let's check out the bathroom.

>Check on wing arm's status. Does it still hurt? Is it getting any better (aside from the bleeding being over)

What the backpack straps lack in absorption they make up for in being a pretty good brace. They've held the wound closed, allowing it to heal without issue. However, the wing still hurts too much to move very much-- certainly too much to consider flying. It will take at least a week to heal on its own.


>Check for doors that require KEYCARD ACCESS.
>If they all do, go for that stubborn recovery room first.

What luck! The door gives a satisfying click noise as Sekani inserts the card. Sekani enters the RECOVERY ROOM.


The room is pretty bare. On the floor is another piece of STRANGE CLOTH. This one appears to be bulging upwards, as if covering something. Standing against the wall is some kind of robot. Maybe it's the MEDICAL ROBOT the terminal mentioned?

Kick BULGE.

....

What?

YOU ARE SILLY.

BUT ALAS, YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND.

lol did I just kill us?

I am without remorse.

I think bugle would kill YOU if you did XD

[I read that as "Kick BUGLE."]

[I won't lie.

I wanted to add "then kick BUGLE."]

[...]

› Then kick BUGLE.

OOC:

Bugle goes OW! Why did you do that to me? What did I do? Then sobs uncontrollably.

You received 1 "you should be ashamed!" point. =(

OOC: I did too and went "...what did I do =("[/ooc]

Open cabinets, look for FIRST AID KIT or something similar and use if it exists!

If we're still alive after Guin'd silliness -

Open the door on the MEDBOT's chest.

Thoughtfully compare MEDICAL ROBOT to the pinup poster.
Search MEDICAL ROBOT for any kind of control or activation mechanisms.

Peek under CLOTH to determine if you need to run away or just throw up in the sink.

>RETRIEVE PINUP
>WAVE PINUP AT MEDIBOT

>Kick BULGE.

FUCK YOU, CLOTH!!!


>Peek under CLOTH to determine if you need to run away or just throw up in the sink.

No need! ...Wow. That's kind of disappointing. Sekani feels a bit better though.


>Open the door on the MEDBOT's chest.

Sekani opens the robot up.


>Thoughtfully compare MEDICAL ROBOT to the pinup poster.
>Search MEDICAL ROBOT for any kind of control or activation mechanisms.

Inside is a button with the word "Standby" printed under it. There is also a WIRE and a BATTERY.

Sekani realizes that this robot looks somewhat similar to the creature on the PINUP POSTER. There's no doubt that the race did exist and, in fact, had some magnificent technology on their hands.

[OOC: let's make this come off the mian thread this time...[/ooc]

Open cabinet drawers, look for first aid kit or similar, use on wound.

Wait so what was under the cloth? Nothing?

Better make sure it works.

>LICK BATTERY
>PUSH BUTTON WITH ABANDON

Well, hey, theoretically freakybot is there to be a medical assistant, right? If pushing that button makes it not come into a murderous rampage, get it to treat the wound~
Also, name it Grasshopper.

Seconding christening it Grasshopper.

Check if those dangerous looking medical hands of the robot can be removed. If so, remove them before attempting any sort button pushing activation. Just in case.

>Wait so what was under the cloth? Nothing?
Apparently!

>LICK BATTERY
Sekani is not quite that stupid. Considering how old this place is, there's no guarantee the battery hasn't leaked its contents.

>PUSH BUTTON WITH ABANDON
>If pushing that button makes it not come into a murderous rampage, get it to treat the wound~
>Check if those dangerous looking medical hands of the robot can be removed. If so, remove them before attempting any sort button pushing activation. Just in case.
Sekani prepares to get the robot safe and turned on. He really hopes it can fix his wing so he can get the hell out of here.


"That really hurt, you bitch."

Surely that will appease her.

LMFAO

LMFAO HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

NO THAT WAS A SERIOUS SUGGESTION LMFAO DON'T TROLL ME BACK

OOC: ....Great, we're going to get SHOT.[/ooc]

USE CROWBAR... oh wait, we don't have any weapons.

I'M WITH GUIN! DON'T HURT ME AUGH! I'M SORRY FOR WHATEVER I DID!

Apologize, pointing out that because our assailant was hiding, we obviously could not have known they were there.

>DEVELOP LIMP TO IMPLY ACCIDENTAL TRIPPING
>COMPLEMENT HER TAIL
>WET SELF WITH ABANDON

Forget about disabling the pointy bits on the MEDICAL ROBOT! Push the BUTTON anyways in a fit of "OMG DON'T SHOOT ME" flailing and hope it dismembers her!

>DEVELOP LIMP TO IMPLY ACCIDENTAL TRIPPING
Sekani's COWARDICE prevents him from putting on a very good show!
>Forget about disabling the pointy bits on the MEDICAL ROBOT! Push the BUTTON anyways in a fit of "OMG DON'T SHOOT ME" flailing and hope it dismembers her!
Sekani can't quite reach the button from here. He attempts to back up into it.
She tightens her grip on the DEADLY WEAPON and informs him that moving is not a good idea at this moment.


>WET SELF WITH ABANDON

Done.


>HOLD YOUR HANDS UP IN SURRENDER AND SAY YOU'RE REALLY SORRY OH GOD PLEASE DON'T KILL ME
>DON'T HURT ME AUGH! I'M SORRY FOR WHATEVER I DID!

Sekani whimpers, fully consumed by his COWARDICE. In his panic he apologizes for whatever he did. She coldly reminds him that he kind of kicked her really hard.


>Apologize, pointing out that because our assailant was hiding, we obviously could not have known they were there.

Sekani stutters as he says this to her. She considers this for a moment before admitting that he has a pretty good point there. She explains that she was exploring this place, and heard him opening the door and quickly hid under the STRANGE CLOTH in a panic. She then mutters to herself that had she remembered she had a CLOAKING DEVICE, she probably wouldn't have done this. Oh well.

>COMPLEMENT HER TAIL
>Also add in that she has great tits.

She pauses for a moment. She seems to seriously consider firing the DEADLY WEAPON right then and there, but she lowers it a bit instead. Looks like he took her off guard. She asks if he's seriously hitting on somebody who's pointing a gun at him.

"If somebody was pointing a gun at you, you'd try to flatter them into not shooting you, too."

Mention you tend to state the obvious when panicked.
Remind her kicking only occurred because Sekani is just as tense in this strange place as she is!
Point out injury and unarmed state to argue harmlessness.

OOC: I really can't think of more to add to this.[/ooc]

Explain how you came to be here, including name, though leave out the whole scouting bit cause of the whole warring races bit.

Also ask how she got into an apparently locked room...

OOC: Also: great, now we need new pants =|

I hope we didn't change the colour of the strange crystal...[/ooc]

>Mention you tend to state the obvious when panicked.

She warns Sekani that she WILL kill him if he doesn't stop that. Despite trying to sound intimidating, she comes off more as flustered. It's obvious she isn't used to being complimented, certainly not by a Tezakian.


>Remind her kicking only occurred because Sekani is just as tense in this strange place as she is!
>Explain how you came to be here, including name, though leave out the whole scouting bit cause of the whole warring races bit.
>Point out injury and unarmed state to argue harmlessness.

Sekani desperately attempts to explain his situation, taking careful note to neglect to mention his scouting mission. He also assures her that the only reason he kicked the cloth is because he's wounded, unarmed, and scared. The current state of his pants adds credibility to this claim.


>Also ask how she--
She says she's the one asking questions. Given how big of a chicken Sekani apparently is, she is willing to believe his story... except for one thing.
"We are barely 10 kilometers from Lian territory. Why were you flying so close to us? You better hope I like your answer."

Sekani is now shivering in terror. He was flying with the intent to enter their country and scout their positions. What should he tell her?

OOC: Something tells me she won't buy "I was lost!" angle...

Should we go with the truth and hope that she appreciates honesty?[/ooc]

CLAIM YOU WERE VISITING YOUR POOR SICK GRANDMOTHER

OOC: Cause Sekani's gramma TOTALLY lives within 10 kilometers of ENEMY TERRITORY =|

I vote we don't do that.[/ooc]

[LOOK I SUGGESTED IT BECAUSE IT'S BLATANTLY UNTRUE]

OOC: But blatant untruths will get us shot >|[/ooc]

[The goal is for her to be too confused to shoot us!]

OOC: Then why not go for the "look out behind you!" approach instead?[/ooc]

[Because that's an obvious distraction.]

Claim being lost because you GLOBAL POSITIONING DEVICE broke.
Offer to go and show her.

Huh, I forgot about the GPS. I say this!

[Unless she sees the map. Then we'll probably have to fall back on Plan B: claim a Lian fetish. Presumed creepy is better than dead, and CERTAIN COMMENTS made would back up the excuse pretty well.]

OOC: Well, I guess it depends on if she lets us look in the backpack or if she looks her self. If we look, we can hopefully conviently not show the map. If she does... plan B it is![/ooc]

>CLAIM YOU WERE VISITING YOUR POOR SICK GRANDMOTHER
There's absolutely no way she'd believe that.

Sekani gets the feeling that somebody really hates him and wants him to die.

>Claim being lost because you GLOBAL POSITIONING DEVICE broke.
>Offer to go and show her.

Seeing how heavily Sekani is shivering, the apparently sexy assailant agrees, and insists that he go first. She probably feels sorry for him at this point. She notes that if he tries anything, his life is forfeit.



Sekani leads her out into the hallway. He ponders his situation, wondering if he will ever get out of here. He just wants to go home...






The world fades to black.

Owie...

Well, at least we weren't shot?

>HALLUCINATE WITH ABANDON

THIS

>ABANDON THIS QUEST WITH ABANDON

WILL DO!

...Better not.

Choke on tongue.
