<@Dreol> [Last time on Power Sliders: After defeating the Licker, you guys headed into the OR and discovered a bloody scene at the center of which is a body covered in a sheet. Off in a corner you found Rebecca Chambers one of the main characters of the Resident Evil games shot dead along with a bandaged up patient.] <@Dreol> [Begin!] <@Dreol> [Oh and it's Session 14!] * Cassiopeia reaches out with her scythe, trying to move the cloth covering whatever it is on the OR table. "Heads up, people." * Henry readies his sword for the thing that shouldn't be a zombie because they were checking it? * Katsuo stays ready to shoot! * Lex keeps watching out the door, because somebody should, and the table is covered for now. * Kyler eyes it suspiciously. <@Dreol> [As Cass pulls back the sheet a grotesque body is revealed. It appears to be male and is sliced open from neck to waist. Most of its organs have been removed, and it looks like there were some attempts made to replace them with some organ-like creations. This seems to have failed as all of these creations seem to have "died."] <@Dreol> [Where the guy's heart should be there is a circular gray mass that has fallen limp, and where his intestines were there is now an over-full sac that contains some heavy fluid and a large insect-looking creature that seems to have died.] * Kyler steps back. "Egh." <@Dreol> [Micah does his paranoid dance.] ... okay, I've been gutting fish since I was three, and that freaks me the hell out. *puts the sheet back on* Eugh. * Lex glances back. "Should we torch it to make sure?" * Cassiopeia takes a couple of deep breaths, shakes her head, then looks back up. "Not sure I wanna light a fire in here." * Henry raises his sword. "Stab it instead?" Stabbing solves most problems. <@Dreol> [Just as a reminder there is a door on the far end of the room from the entrance. and there is also the elevator that is now active for places you haven't been.] Then we'll check out that door 'fore we head to the elevator. Gotta clear the floor. * Lex nods and starts looking for a way to close the card-locked door behind them, just in case. <@Dreol> [The door can be pulled shut easily and it will lock once it is.] * Cassiopeia nods at Henry. "Make with the stabbity, good sir." * Katsuo nods. "Must complete objectives before elevator move." * Cassiopeia pulls back the sheet again for Henry, using her scythe. * Henry grimaces and tries to stab the thing in the sack with his sword. If he's lucky maybe he won't get too much of whatever's in the sack on him. Here, let me help. * Kyler draws his sword and whacks off the head, wincing. <@Dreol> [The head goes rolling off the table, the sac explodes in a clear thick syrupy mess, and the insect looking thing lands limply on the ground with a crunch.] * Kyler shudders and turns away, making a surreptitious motion with his hands. "OK, done, let's get outta here." * Cassiopeia points at the corpse, and mutters a half-hearted "You got sacked, son." before heading over to the unexplored door. * Lex steps around the mess on the floor to get to the other door and take point again. * Henry turns a little green. "It. Eugh. It's pretty dead." Yeah. Lucky for us. * Kyler gets back to position. * Henry tries to wipe his sword clean on the cloth that had been covering the guy. Better for us. * Katsuo gets ready to shoot stuff behind the door. <@Dreol> [The door opens to one of the first rooms you've seen that is not a mess. It looks like a small office. It has a desk with a typewriter on it, and a large chest against one wall and a bed against the far right wall. The door is about three inches thick and metal and on the inside has a sliding bar for a lock. It looks like a relatively safe place to rest.] ... Safe House? * Kyler immediately looks suspicious at that. Bit of Micah rubbing off? Looks like. Too bad the main character wasn't holed up in here instead of out there. * Cassiopeia heads right for the chest and examines! * Henry looks around. "Yeah..." * Lex walks over to the typewriter to see if there's anything left in it or near it. Also, a typewriter? When is this game set, anyway? * Katsuo helps investigate the room once nothing jumps out at the youngun's immediately. I dunno. I just wanna get out of it. <@Dreol> [Inside the chest Cass finds a medicine case full of herbs. 3 greens and 2 reds. She also finds a submachine gun, and a pile of clothes with arm patches that look like a red and white opened umbrella. In one of the pockets of the umbrella jackets is a key which has the same symbol.] I got keys, I got meds, I got automatic weapons! Nice. * Lex glances at Henry, looking almost sympathetic. "No quick way to do that, unfortunately. But I'm sure we'll all try." * Cassiopeia hands the herbs to Henry, the card to Lex, and holds up the SMG. "So who gets the machine gun?" ...guess we'll just hold on to it for now. Hate to let that go to waste in a place like this. * Lex shakes her head. "No clue how to use one. Too bad we can't just pick things up and know how to use them like the characters seem to." It worked with the stuff we got from the end of time. Yeah, but it doesn't come with us unless we become attached to it. So no sense not using it if we got it. *shrugs; puts the gun into her coat* I'll hold onto it for now. I can use, I think. Not too different from pistol, yes? Just more bullets with each squeeze. *hands the gun to Katsuo* * Cassiopeia then checks on and under the bed, just to be sure. <@Dreol> [There's nothing under the bed.] No bogeymen? Nope. * Katsuo takes the gun and checks over it, nodding to himself. * Cassiopeia sits down on the table by the typewriter, and idly pokes at it. "Anyone opposed to taking a few to get our heads together before we head to the elevator?" If they can't get in, I like that plan. No. I know I need a rest. And if we need to, we can set watches. * Kyler nods. "Yeah, sounds good." * Lex turns around to bolt the door, then. And the watches're probably a good idea, even if we lock the door. I'll take first. I'm wired, so I'm not gettin' to sleep anytime soon. I'll take second. I don't need too much sleep. * Kyler nods. "I'll go 'head and take third, then." I take next watch then. How long are we gonna be in here for? Just gettin' a game plan together, just in case. At least a full night's sleep, I think. Eight hours, maybe. Plus, the more people takin' watch, shorter the watches gotta be. Which means two-hour watches. Does everyone holding a watch have something to tell the time? * Katsuo has a watch! * Katsuo is old-fashioned. I do, and y'all can borrow my watch if you need. * Lex shakes her head. "I've got my own. Cass?" * Cassiopeia pulls a handful of diverse watches, stopwatches, pocket watches, wristwatches, a mini-alarm clock, and a mini wind-up grandfather clock from her coat with a big grin. ...she'll be fine. * Henry digs out his DS. "There's this..." Don't waste your battery if you don't need to, though... Yeah, it looks like we're all good. Time to get some sleep. It's not like I've got any games to play on it anymore. Yeah, but you might need it for light later on or somethin'. <@Dreol> [Session End]
