I13: Test 00002 - MAJORITY RULES

by **Haley Crusek** » Fri Dec 20, 2013 10:17 pm

Haley glared daggers at the girl, the slight aura of psionic energy around her making the stare that much more frightening.

by **Sidney Young** » Fri Dec 20, 2013 10:18 pm

"Careful or she's gonna go Carrie on your ass." Sid warns Emily.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Dec 20, 2013 10:25 pm

"Yeah, well, can we not call anyone a whore while we're navigating the sadistic death traps?"

by **Emily Inque** » Fri Dec 20, 2013 10:29 pm

Emily 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.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Dec 20, 2013 10:31 pm

Brigid facepalmed.

"...how about 'Haley'?"

by **Emily Inque** » Fri Dec 20, 2013 10:32 pm

"Slaves do not have the right to names," Emily mumbles.

by **Alex Carpenter** » 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.

by **Haley Crusek** » Fri Dec 20, 2013 10:35 pm

"I'm not a slave you jackass!" She spat.

by **Calvin Strong** » 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."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Dec 20, 2013 10:39 pm

"Well we've got one open at least."

by **Sidney Young** » 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.

by **Narrator** » Fri Dec 20, 2013 10:48 pm

The door opens automatically for Sidney. It leads into a dark black hallway, identical to the one behind the other door.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Dec 20, 2013 10:51 pm

Alex sighed as he waited, knocking on his door a couple times.

by **Narrator** » Fri Dec 20, 2013 10:53 pm

There 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.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Dec 20, 2013 10:59 pm

Oh god... And predictably, Alex ran through the door, hoping it wasn't too late for whoever was screaming.

by **Sidney Young** » Fri Dec 20, 2013 10:59 pm

Lest anybody call her a coward Sidney walks into the hallway.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Dec 20, 2013 11:01 pm

Brigid 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!

by **Narrator** » Fri Dec 20, 2013 11:21 pm

The 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."

by **Thomas Bowen** » Fri Dec 20, 2013 11:23 pm

Tommy 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.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Dec 20, 2013 11:34 pm

"What? No! Haley, can you get them open again?"

by **Thomas Bowen** » Fri Dec 20, 2013 11:37 pm

Tommy stopped, freezing in place until some decision was made as to which door to use.

He looked deathly scared.

by **Brigid Plunder** » 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?"

by **Thomas Bowen** » 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.."

by **Narrator** » Fri Dec 20, 2013 11:59 pm

There was nothing preventing Tommy from changing the metal of the doors and it would trigger no immediate traps.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sat Dec 21, 2013 12:07 am

"Alright. Just... tell me when and where to hit it."

by **Thomas Bowen** » Sat Dec 21, 2013 12:11 am

After 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.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sat Dec 21, 2013 12:14 am

Brigid 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.

by **Narrator** » Sat Dec 21, 2013 12:54 am

Brigid'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.

by **Mariuset** » 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.

by **Thomas Bowen** » Sat Dec 21, 2013 1:00 am

Tommy nodded, stepping back further.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sat Dec 21, 2013 1:03 am

"Do it," she said as she stepped back.

by **Haley Crusek** » Sat Dec 21, 2013 3:05 am

After 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...

by **Steve Jones** » Sat Dec 21, 2013 10:16 am

Steve, 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.

by **Haley Crusek** » Sat Dec 21, 2013 5:20 pm

Haley 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.

by **Mariuset** » Sat Dec 21, 2013 10:57 pm

Mariuset 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.

by **Narrator** » Sun Dec 22, 2013 2:26 pm

Despite 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.

Steve opened his eyes.

"Damnit... we... can't find them."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sun Dec 22, 2013 3:01 pm

Once it was safe to do so, Brigid went to town on the door with a flurry of kicks.

by **Narrator** » Sun Dec 22, 2013 3:13 pm

Brigid 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.
