Posted: Fri Dec 20, 2013 10:18 pm"Careful or she's gonna go Carrie on your ass." Sid warns Emily.

Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Fri Dec 20, 2013 10:29 pmEmily wipes her face with her sleeve and then rubs her eyes with both hands. She takes a deep breath.
"...Would you prefer 'slut bag'?" Emily asks, her voice returned to the flat, dull monotone.

Posted: Fri Dec 20, 2013 10:32 pm"Slaves do not have the right to names," Emily mumbles.
Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Fri Dec 20, 2013 10:35 pm"All right, well, we need to figure this out. Sooooo..." Alex walked up to door 1, looking for how to open it.
Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Fri Dec 20, 2013 10:35 pm"I'm not a slave you jackass!" She spat.

Posted: Fri Dec 20, 2013 10:38 pm"Is there anyone who can put a gag on the girl who left behind her brain-to-mouth filter?"
"And if you guys ask me, we're fucked whatever we pick. It might be a trap just as bad in all three doors."

Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Fri Dec 20, 2013 10:39 pm"Well we've got one open at least."
Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Fri Dec 20, 2013 10:45 pm"Good job. I know opening doors might seem complicated but it's usually not." Sid says, making a huge deal out of taking the last step up to the door she'd been walking towards when things had gone a little crazy and looks to open it.
Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Fri Dec 20, 2013 10:48 pmThe door opens automatically for Sidney. It leads into a dark black hallway, identical to the one behind the other door.
Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Fri Dec 20, 2013 10:51 pmAlex sighed as he waited, knocking on his door a couple times.
Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Fri Dec 20, 2013 10:53 pmThere was a horrible scream behind Alex's door, followed by a loud grinding noise. After a moment, his door opened as well, revealing an identical dark hallway.
Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Fri Dec 20, 2013 10:59 pmOh god... And predictably, Alex ran through the door, hoping it wasn't too late for whoever was screaming.
Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Fri Dec 20, 2013 10:59 pmLest anybody call her a coward Sidney walks into the hallway.
Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Fri Dec 20, 2013 11:01 pmBrigid winced at the noise and... saw her boyfriend running headlong into danger. Well, that was troubling. Sidney would probably grow back her arms or something. She started running after Alex!
Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Fri Dec 20, 2013 11:21 pmThe door slammed shut as soon as Sidney and Alex crossed the threshold.
Inside, the walls began to grow a bright blue. A loud whirring echoed through the hallway briefly before there was a flash of light and the two disappeared.
Above the doors they had entered the words "WRONG ANSWER" appeared.
"Well. That was phenomenally stupid of them."

Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Fri Dec 20, 2013 11:23 pmTommy waits, unsure what to do as the doors begin disappearing.
"Well, one door left.."
He takes a deep breath, and moves to door número treis.

Posted: Fri Dec 20, 2013 11:34 pm"What? No! Haley, can you get them open again?"
Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Fri Dec 20, 2013 11:37 pmTommy stopped, freezing in place until some decision was made as to which door to use.
He looked deathly scared.

Posted: Fri Dec 20, 2013 11:46 pm"Come on T-Bow, we can't just leave them behind. Can you make the doors easier to break?"
Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Fri Dec 20, 2013 11:56 pm"I.. I suppose.."
He carefully made his way to the door Sidney and Alex has used, and placed his hands on the door.
After a few moments, the door began shifting hues and shine, as it jumped from one metal type to the next.
"give me a moment.."

Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Fri Dec 20, 2013 11:59 pmThere was nothing preventing Tommy from changing the metal of the doors and it would trigger no immediate traps.
Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Sat Dec 21, 2013 12:07 am"Alright. Just... tell me when and where to hit it."
Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Sat Dec 21, 2013 12:11 amAfter a few more seconds, Tommy's eyebrows furrowed, as he drew his hands across each other, causing the door to flutter and flash.
He backed up, revealing the door was now a crisscrossed mishmash of different metal types and grains running against each other, chaotic and unordered.
"Ok, it should be weakened now.." He said, tugging on his hat.

Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Sat Dec 21, 2013 12:14 amBrigid nodded with determination and put her hand on the door for a moment before backing up a step and letting loose a brutal kick at a fairly specific spot.
Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Sat Dec 21, 2013 12:54 amBrigid's strike broke a decent size hole into the door. Looking inside, she could make out a dim figure laying on the ground. It was hard to tell, but it looked a little like Alex.
Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Sat Dec 21, 2013 12:57 am"Perhaps if I heated it up, changing the temper of the metal might make it more likely to crack." Mariuset said.
Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Sat Dec 21, 2013 1:00 amTommy nodded, stepping back further.
Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Sat Dec 21, 2013 1:03 am"Do it," she said as she stepped back.
Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Sat Dec 21, 2013 3:05 amAfter Alex and Sid disappeared Haley froze before she pursued the telepath behind the door she opened, a bit shocked that they might possibly be gone. She closed her eyes and focused, trying to see if she could find their minds telepathically and at least know whether or not they were alive...
Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Sat Dec 21, 2013 10:16 amSteve, assuming Haley was using her brain powers to search, put a hand on her shoulder and closed his eyes.
"Two heads are better than one."
He focused and added his strength to the effort. It was actually quite considerable, she would find.

Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Sat Dec 21, 2013 5:20 pmHaley was not nearly as good at her telepathy as she was at her telekinesis, and it showed as Steve joined her mind. Still, she'd likely help give him some oomph so she tried to more follow his lead than anything else.
Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Sat Dec 21, 2013 10:57 pmMariuset took a deep breath, and then unleashed a torrent of hot flame at the metal. It wouldn't melt it or anything like that, but it did get it red hot.
Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Sun Dec 22, 2013 2:26 pmDespite Haley and Steve's best efforts, they couldn't sense anyone except the people currently in the room with them.
Meanwhile, Mariuset managed to help Tommy significantly weaken the door. It would be much easier to break down now.
As everyone worked, Calvin would receive a message.

Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Sun Dec 22, 2013 3:00 pmSteve opened his eyes.
"Damnit... we... can't find them."

Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Sun Dec 22, 2013 3:01 pmOnce it was safe to do so, Brigid went to town on the door with a flurry of kicks.
Re: I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES
Posted: Sun Dec 22, 2013 3:13 pmBrigid busted through the door easily. Go teamwork!
Light from the room lit up the dark hallway beyond the door a little bit. It was definitely Alex slumped on the floor. He wasn't moving.
