Home Sweet Home

"Drop them.. now!" Bear said, tossing one ball to the center of the room, and another down the gullet of an advancing Legion grand oak table.

by **Melody Martens** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 9:26 pm

Melody dropped the bomb to the ground in front of her, and then rushed to the elevator with Bear.

"Let's go! Sooner we move, the sooner I can let it blow everything up here to hell!" she said quickly, her eyes still glowing brightly, her face straining with the effort of concentration.

bear joined Melody inside the car, waiting for the elevator to descend while keeping an eye out for movement.

Before it started to move (which was slow) the door melted shut to shield them from the explosion before Sara let the cabin slide down the shaft, sweat running down her forehead.

The elevator car itself quivered once.

by **Sara Stanton** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 2:40 pm

Either Sara doesn't notice or she ignores it on purpose. She's set on safely bringing the elevator down and that's what she does, eventually opening the door to reveal the underground lab complex with it's tanks and tubes and machinery. Faultline and the others are nowhere to be seen, but then again the lab extends further than can be seen from the elevator.

"Was... was that you or... the car?"

by **John Hino** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 2:45 pm

"I don't even want to know..."

John tentatively stepped out first.

"God this place is creepy..." he said as he looked around.

by **Melody Martens** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 5:04 pm

Melody wasted no time getting the hell out of the elevator car, and her eyes scanned the area, searching for threats.

by **Narrator** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 5:10 pm

A faint hum from the machinery fills the air and the occasional bubble rises in one of the liquids in the small tanks but otherwise it's quiet. Further back in the main area the wall is hidden by a massive tank, most of it hidden by the machinery and tubes and smaller tanks surrounding it. A section of it is clear plexiglass showing nothing but grey. It's hard to tell from the distance, but there's faint movement inside.

by **John Hino** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 5:19 pm

"Dear God... what is that?"

by **Byrna Cooper** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 6:37 pm

"It's... will?" Bear asked, not sure she wants to know the truth.

by **Isabel Galen** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 11:16 pm

Isabel looked questioningly at Sarah, hoping that she'd be able to tell.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Oct 12, 2011 2:02 am

"I... I don't know. It could be, but why would she do that?" A bit of a pointless question maybe, after what they saw upstairs.

by **Isabel Galen** » Wed Oct 12, 2011 2:21 am

"Because she's crazy and evil." Isabel replied "Not to mention sick."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 1:44 pm

"Think she'll come running if we break that?"

by **John Hino** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 2:08 pm

"Only one way to find out," John said, cracking his knuckles.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 2:09 pm

"I think I can be a little more subtle than that..."

by **John Hino** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 3:58 pm

"Then I say go for it."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 3:59 pm

Captain Britain reached out with her actual mutant powers, rather than what she'd been gifted with. She tried to feel out the mechanisms of the containment unit, what was being fed into it, what could go wrong with it...

by **Narrator** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 4:05 pm

There are lots of things that control what goes into the tank and what comes out and when, temperature sensors, pressure valves, those kind of things. At first not much happened, but after a while the sound of straining metal came from somewhere within the machinery as several valves failed while others just happened to continue working and more and more nutrient solution gets pumped into the main chamber until the pressure eventually exceeds what the plexiglass window can take and with a crack that's probably heard upstairs the tank ruptures, spilling out what of the nutrient liquid hasn't been already absorbed by the second mass that pours from the tank in a massive: an enormous wave of a grey, clay-like substance.

by **Narrator** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 4:10 pm

It kept flowing out, and out, and out...and out, and out, and out.

Part of it began reforming, into an almost, but not quite, Will-like shape...

by **Byrna Cooper** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 10:12 pm

Bear stood, her mouth quite agape.

by **Narrator** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 11:04 pm

"Ouuuttt...." it moaned.

by **Isabel Galen** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 11:19 pm

"We have to help him." Isabel said.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 11:30 pm

"He ah... rather looks like he's helping himself."

by **Narrator** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 11:40 pm

"Ooouuuuttt?" it said, as it pulled more and more of the oozing clay into itself....

by **Byrna Cooper** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 11:46 pm

bear pulled out a flowery ball, holding it in throwing position just in case..

by **Isabel Galen** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 11:59 pm

"Can you help us get out of here?" Isabel asked.

by **Narrator** » Fri Oct 14, 2011 12:01 am

"So...bright..." it muttered, looking around.

by **John Hino** » Fri Oct 14, 2011 1:32 pm

"I doubt anyone here helps anyone with anything..." John said.

by **Legion** » Fri Oct 14, 2011 3:46 pm

"Out...wha? WHA??!"

Legion reared itself to a MASSIVE height, and let out an unearthly sound, a scream tremendously loud and unnatural from five mouths at once, as the mass of grey protoplasm consolidated into a giant, shaggy, vaguely-humanoid beast.

by **John Hino** » Fri Oct 14, 2011 3:54 pm

"Not good..." he said, craning his neck to look at the beast.

by **David Renko** » Fri Oct 14, 2011 7:26 pm

"So... how exactly do we stop Will?" Renko asked while staring slack jawed at the giant creature, will, thing.

by **Legion** » Fri Oct 14, 2011 7:57 pm

It glared at Renko!

by **Byrna Cooper** » Fri Oct 14, 2011 8:02 pm

"Will?"

by **Legion** » Fri Oct 14, 2011 8:50 pm

"Will?

My name...is Legion, for we are many," he said...and the mass LUNGED towards the party!

by **David Renko** » Fri Oct 14, 2011 8:57 pm

Renko suppressed a...er...battle cry as his gauntlets glowed brightly as he created a bubble around the lunging mass of Legion.

by **Legion** » Fri Oct 14, 2011 9:23 pm

Some of the Legion mass was caught in the time bubble.

Some of it...wasn't, and threatened to crash over the party like a wave!

by **John Hino** » Fri Oct 14, 2011 9:33 pm

John took evasive action as he looked around for anything... anything he could use against Legion.
