Runnin' Cable

by **Douglas Decker** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 3:32 pm

Douglas Decker was crossing the quad, unrolling a spool behind him as he did so.

((open))

by **James Moran** » Fri Oct 07, 2011 3:18 pm

James landed just behind Douglas, returning from a joyflight. "Network upgrades?"

by **Douglas Decker** » Fri Oct 07, 2011 3:45 pm

"Of a sense."

by **James Moran** » Fri Oct 07, 2011 3:49 pm

"Mind if I ask? I'm James by the way." James said, extending a hand.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Oct 07, 2011 3:53 pm

"James Moran, of course.

Douglas Decker."

He didn't take the hand, busy as he was, focusing on the cable.

by **James Moran** » Fri Oct 07, 2011 3:55 pm

"Good to meet you. So, what's the cable for?"

by **Douglas Decker** » Fri Oct 07, 2011 3:57 pm

"We are....reconnecting the new dorm buildings. The old system is......complicated."

by **James Moran** » Fri Oct 07, 2011 3:57 pm

"Okay, now I'm more curious. Complicated how?"

by **Douglas Decker** » Fri Oct 07, 2011 10:03 pm

"It was designed by...a former faculty member.

Attempts to get root access have been...challenging."

by **James Moran** » Sat Oct 08, 2011 5:59 pm

"What...they designed it after their own brain or.....wait. They didn't did they?"

by **Douglas Decker** » Sat Oct 08, 2011 7:05 pm

"I...wish I could be more specific. The code is....complex."

by **Rosemary** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 1:17 am

As they were talking, Rose found part of the cable and started gnawing on it.

by **Douglas Decker** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 2:36 pm

"Don't touch that!"

by **Rosemary** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 6:57 pm

Rose stopped and looked at Douglas for a moment.

And then she tried to take off with the cord still in her mouth.

by **Douglas Decker** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 6:59 pm

"Bugger," Doug said, turning to chase after.

He was...well out of shape.

by **Rosemary** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 7:15 pm

Rose was fast but clumsy. She quickly got tangled up in the cable she refused to let go of and fell over, thrashing wildly.

by **Douglas Decker** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 7:38 pm

Doug caught up a moment later.

"What on earth are you DOING?" he said, somewhat agitadely.

For him, at least

by **Rosemary** » Wed Oct 12, 2011 1:14 am

"What are you doing? Stupid," Rose snaps, "Stupid rope trap! Lemme out!"

by **Douglas Decker** » Wed Oct 12, 2011 2:44 pm

"Rope trap? You must be joking."

by **Rosemary** » Wed Oct 12, 2011 5:14 pm

Rose attempts to kick Douglas in the shins by way of a mature and adult response.

by **Douglas Decker** » Wed Oct 12, 2011 5:16 pm

Doug....had no idea how to deal with such a creature, and just stood there, blinking.

"Invalid response."

by **Rosemary** » Wed Oct 12, 2011 9:40 pm

"Is not, stupid computer man," Rose says, lunging at Douglas in an attempt to bite him. The cable caught her and pulled her back to the ground roughly.

by **Douglas Decker** » Wed Oct 12, 2011 10:22 pm

"Replace the cable immediately."

by **Rosemary** » Wed Oct 12, 2011 10:34 pm

"Mine!"

by **Douglas Decker** » Wed Oct 12, 2011 10:46 pm

"The school's."

by **Rosemary** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 1:11 am

"Mine now, stupid!" Rose shouts, "Finders, keepers."

by **Douglas Decker** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 1:13 am

"Do not make me submit you to disciplinary action."

by **Rosemary** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 1:20 am

"Don't make me scratch your beady little eyes out you stupid little man," Rose snaps back, finally freeing herself from the cable and holding it protectively in her hands.

by **Douglas Decker** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 2:01 am

"You are fondling school property. You will drop it now, or be subject to suspension or expulsion."

by **Rosemary** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 2:30 am

Roses hisses, her fur standing out on end in an attempt to make herself look bigger.

by **Douglas Decker** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 1:43 pm

Doug just raised an eyebrow, and stood there, arms crossed.

"Rosemary. Now."

by **Rosemary** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 6:27 pm

Rose kicks Douglas in the shins again.

This was looking to be a frustrating day for Douglas.

by **Douglas Decker** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 6:29 pm

Doug sighed.

"You leave me with no alternative."
