<> <> "What happened?" Green gas. * Threnody does not look pleased that Kat and Rochelle are going in alone. "I'm not pleased that Kat and Rochelle are going in alone." Rochelle said it was nerve gas. There was an explosion, followed by the gas. "Oh, god, nerve gas? Was anyone still in there?" Nobody that doesn't have a suit. "I meant my friends!" * Threnody shakes his head. "I didn't sense anyone inside, but I can only 'see' so far." I have no clue. <> 2d6 (Whoo! Failure, of course.) (Leo sees the lack of dicebot!) (Jesus.) (Fail unless that was Mind.) (Should be, it's perception. c.c) (Then success. *dances*) (I dunno, the book classifies it as either mind or body. :P) (It's mind, shut up.) <> 2d6-2 ( Oh, right ) ( 2min, 7sec ping ) * Threnody raises an eyebrow. "What's mercury, or at least something mercury-ish, doing on the ground?" He looks at Luanne, then the others, for answers. <> "Samuel." * Leopoldo looks. "I have no clue, other than the whi- Yeah, him." Oh...yeah. * Threnody hmmms and closes his eyes, 'looking' around again for the hell of it. "Although," he says out loud, "I doubt he's so close I could sense him." Mmm, they found a note down there, but they can't read it. * Threnody opens his eyes and shakes his head. "Like I thought, he's too far away." * Vera folds her arms behind her head. <> "He's bleeding. He could be dead! We've got to follow it!" * Ian looks around at the forest. Okay, assuming we look for him, where would he be? Well, we can follow the trail... Usually a good start. <> * Rochelle does, yes, come clanking up the stairs. She's holding a note. "Anyone read Earthese?" Do you have the not? (Err, note) * Rochelle blinks at Leopoldo. "... What?" * Threnody looks between Leo and Rochelle, then knits his brow. "You know, you've done this a few times before. How did you know she had that note?" * Leopoldo smiles a little, blushing a light shade of red. "You were talking about a note in Earthese? Do you have it so we can read it?" Ah, um, I have a radio in my head? * Rochelle stares at him for a moment, then says, "Wait. How did you- you do?" Pause. "Okay." * Rochelle hands the note over to Threnody. I mean, he's from Earth. * Threnody tilts his head, then shrugs. "Well, Katherine has a computer in hers, so it's entirely plausible." He takes the note and looks at it. * Vera snickers. (I should start tuning into Radio Free Lizard.) * Ian grins. How 'bout you, Roch? How about me what? Got a radio or computer in your head? ( Jeez. Pingout again ) Nope. Thought about the computer, though. Could be fun. * Leopoldo shakes his head. "Technically it's genetic. I've never had, or porbably ever will, have any cyberware implanted in me." Aw, I was just kidding. 'Course you don't. You got other ways. So what's the note say? * Rochelle doesn't respond to that. She looks over to Thren at Vera's question. * Threnody knits his brow. He says, after a moment of deliberation: "Jerkass." It appears to take him some effort to string those words together, and he's still reading. * Leopoldo waits. * Rochelle looks towards the opening to the ground. ~What about him?~ He's come up here and ran. Thren found a trail of his... liquid through the forest. * Threnody looks increasingly angry as he scans the letter. It's quite uncharacteristic. He pauses a moment, then clears his throat. ""Good day, plebians, I hope this note finds you in good health. Truthfully I hope it finds you dead of nerve damage, but alas, as you are reading it I must hope for the best." "As you have likely surmised, I have taken the twerp. I hope you do try to follow me, I could use a little amusement." ~Not yet, but Thren said 'jerkass'. I think he's got it now. Leo says Sam came up and ran- here we go.~ "I doubt I managed to kill all of the idiots I was forced to seclude myself with. Save as many as you can, they are worth little." "Hope to be seeing you soon, Dorian." * Fitzroy hmpfs. Full of himself, huh? * Threnody narrows his eyes and passes the note off to Leo, who he suspects would like to see it. "He's arrogant by nature, but I have this feeling he has a trump card of some sort that's supporting it." * Ian stares off into the woods, and frowns. "He's still dead, though. Very, very dead." He's probably got Anders. A precog's too valuable to let go. * Leopoldo takes it and reads over the note as well. "Yes..." And if he's got him, that's a trump card right there. ( 1 min ping x.x ) * Threnody smiles slightly nastily. "A blessing and a curse, I think." * Ian nods. ~You probably want to come up now, Kat. Thren translated it. Dorian's taken Anders.~ * Rochelle shrugs. <>
