I12DT - Don't Mind Me

[Aria Nyx]

Aria does her best to dodge the strike but can't help and leave a couple feathers behind as the blast clips her and sends her tumbling a little.

[Haley Crusek]

Connecting, and finally feeling the hit, Haley grit her teeth and threw out her hands, grasping at the air in front of her as she tried to grab a hold of the woman and put her in a psychokinetic bear-hug.

[Calvin Strong]

Cal, meanwhile, was busy entering in passwords of Stan's to try to override the safeties, all the while getting the program ready for when he managed it. Let's see... giant flaming tentacle beast coming out of the volcano? Yeah, that sounds like it might do it...

[Aria Nyx]

And just as Haley has her the volcano erupts and a huge lava tentacle slams down from the crater rim. Then another. And another. The lava drains down from it and reveals a giant kraken pushing out of the volcano.

[Haley Crusek]

Haley roared in triumph as she managed to grab Aria!

And then the tentacles showed up, distracting her.

"Oh what the--"

She tried to grab Aria again, but she'd likely have had ample time to dance away if she wasn't as caught off guard by the eruption as Haley was.

[Nick Varkan]

Nick too was briefly distracted by the rather awesome display, but only for half a second before grabbing Aria again.

[Nash Riley]

Nash made his way into the control room and looked into the Danger Room itself.

"What the hell?" He said out loud, but not into the intercom, so no one likely heard him.

He then leaned over to a microphone "I heard the alarm, what is going on in there?"

[Calvin Strong]

YES! I LOVE THIS ROOM! "All right. Noooowwwww... Multiply tentacles by twenty, let's lay the hurt down on this bitch." Cal was probably having too much fun for him to be taking this totally seriously.

[Aria Nyx]

Aria herself was apparently used to weird shit and Nick doesn't exactly catch her unaware. She manages to hold on to her but it's not exactly a solid grip. Meanwhile Aria rummages through her satchel to pull out the holo-projector again. She seems pretty okay with Nick holding her up actually while she pulls back her sleeve and starts connecting the ripped out projector to the device around her wrist and lower arm. "You guys should probably, you know, dodge. I don't think that thing is just after me."

And it seems like she's right. The kraken keeps crawling out of the volcano as it's tentacles multiply but it's starting to lash out in the direction of, well, everyone it can see. It certainly has enough tentacles for it now!

[Calvin Strong]

What? NO NO NO! Ignore all registered users, just attack HER! Cal furiously entered in counter-commands, getting ready to cut the program altogether.

[Aria Nyx]

The kraken's a little sluggish to react but it does slowly turn it's attention towards Aria. Who seems to have finished tinkering and connecting the projector to her wrist-thingie. "Gotta give me a little more wriggle-room here if you want me to fight that thing." she says, winking at Nick. And then winking out of existence as she folds space around herself to slip out of Nick's grasp.

When she shows up again it's closer to the Kraken. Tapping something on her wrist she creates a nasty-looking sword fit to fight a magma-kraken. "Ooh yeah, that'll look appropriately awesome." she nods to herself and dashes towards one of the tentacles attacking her, slicing through it with one fell swoop The kraken roars, spilling lava from the flailing appendage. Everyone there might notice that it's getting kind of hot. Too hot than the room should allow if the safeties were still on.

[Anastasiya Volkoff]

Of course, poor Anastasiya had just shown up. She had not had time to register. Yet.

"охуеть!" she shouted, trying to dodge.

[Haley Crusek]

"Cal! Did you turn off the safeties?!" Haley yelled.

[Calvin Strong]

"Of course I turned off the safeties! What, did you think I just wanted to tickle her?" Cal called back.

[Nash Riley]

"You turned off the safeties? Are you crazy?"

Nash tries to restore the safeties from the control room. He knows how to do it on one hand, on the other he doesn't have very high authorization.

[Haley Crusek]

"God fucking damnit," she grumbled to herself over the din of battle and the rumblings of an erupting, kraken-filled volcano. A river of lava was moving far too quickly towards her, and she put up a wall of TK as she ran perpendicularly across its path and into some dense jungle.

Or least that's what she wanted to do, before a tentacle lashed out, wrapped around her ankle several times, and yanked her violently upwards.

[Calvin Strong]

"Oh sh- on it! Hang on!" Oh god damn it... All right. Remove tentacle 16... and why is this freaking volcano erupting? Let's see... Oh, I know. Lava golem! All right, condense it like... that, and behavior... behavior... yeah, attack the winged bitch with the sword. That sounds about right.

[Haley Crusek]

The tentacle dangling Haley aloft vanished, and she plummeted headfirst towards the ground.

"Shit, shit SHIIIIIIIIIT!"

Haley slammed her TK into the mountain underneath her, slowing her descent to a safe landing at the last second.

[Aria Nyx]

Meanwhile Aria was busy looking like something straight from a cheesy metal cover. Small flows of lava forming around her while she's battling rocky tentacles with a ridiculous sword when a huge arm from a golem slams into her side and sends her flying. She skids to a halt and takes to the air, holding her side. "You wanna play rough, huh kid?" Space around Cal deforms and snaps back around him, slamming him backwards as if shot by an invisible slingshot.

[Calvin Strong]

Shit shit shit shit shit remove anything behind meeeeeeeee! Cal forced himself to focus on making the appropriate changes to keep himself from getting hurt, but still couldn't stop himself from finding himself bouncing and skidding across the ground. Ow... ow... ow... ow... oh I hope that lava golem hurts, bitch...

[Haley Crusek]

Haley tried to grab Cal with her TK but missed since the folding space seemed to mess with her depth perception.

"Cal!"

She ran over towards him a bubble of TK energy around her.

[Nash Riley]

Code: Select all

Authorization level insufficient to reestablish program safeties

“Damn it.”

With that Nash tried to at least remove some of the danger, starting with the lava.

[Aria Nyx]

That seems to work, which has an odd context-aware effect, turning the creatures in 'just' rock-golem and rock-kraken.

"Seriously guys, I just need to borrow this for a while." she says, pushing a couple buttons on her wrist and turning her sword into a huge plasma rifle that she proceeds to blast the golem with until enough chunks have been blown off for the thing to start to crumble more and more with each step.

[Calvin Strong]

Cal seemed more than a little loopy when Haley made it over to him. "See... thissiz why you don' steal th' genius's shit..." he muttered, trying (ill-advisedly) to push himself back up. Ow. Ow. Ow.

[Christine Bowen]

"I'll pick you up and throw you." Christie said "Like a cannon ball. You'll hit her hard, and then grab her."

[Nick Varkan]

Nick scowled. The cyborg kid's brilliant plan had turned sideways alright. He floated up, raising a large cloud of volcanic rocks with him.

"Computer, reinstate safeties for all registered users. Override code Varkan 6 Whiskey Tango Foxtrot."

[Aria Nyx]

"Now that's just playing dirty!" she points out, dodging a tentacle that slams into the ground where she'd been standing. Her eyes dart around, feeling out the spot where the danger room's own spatial distortion is weakest due to it's missing projector. Raising her plasma rifle she takes aim and fires a salvo at the spot where the missing panel would be. Sparks and energy discharges erupt in mid air when the shots connect with the open wall panel and the entire simulation begins to flicker.

"I'd love to stay, but I got stuff to do. We'll finish this some other time." she says and reaches past the weakening simulation with her powers and takes a step around a spatial corner and disappears.

[Anastasiya Volkoff]

"проклятие! Sorry, I did not get to you in time," Anastasiya apologized to Christine.

[Christine Bowen]

"Its ok." Christie said "Who the fuck was she?"

[Nick Varkan]

"Not a fucking clue," Nick said as he touched down.

[Nash Riley]

Nash starts to shut down the danger room. Soon the room will return to is normal off-line state. Well, its normal off-line state with whatever damage had been done to it.

“Is everyone alright in there?”

[Haley Crusek]

"God fucking damnit. Who was that whore and where am I supposed to practice now?"

[Nick Varkan]

"Nothing but bruised egos in here," Nick told Nash.

"Alright kids, clear out. We've got one hell of a mess to sort out in here. And by we, I mean the Nerd Herd. Hell if I know how to fix a holoprojector array. I'm better at music and breaking shit... and, well, auto repair."

[Nash Riley]

Nash comes out of the control room and surveys the damage.

"Uggg. I think the Danger Room is going to be down for a while."

[Calvin Strong]

"I'll help!" Cal offered in that same loopy, punch-drunk voice. Of course, those two words at all from him were enough for anyone who knew him to wonder if he were up to something.

[Nash Riley]

Nash looks back at Cal.

"Are you sure you don't need to go to the medical center? Maybe get checked out just in case."

[Nick Varkan]

"What he said. You've helped enough."

[Haley Crusek]

"C'mon. I'll walk with you, cutie. I need to get some painkillers for my head anyway." she said, grabbing a hold of Cal's hand.
