Week 6.

[trustmods]

WEEK 6 Losing three people in one week isn't very nice, is it? Morty Smith, Rakka, and Dio Brando have all joined the deceased. It will be hard to forget them. It will be even harder to forget that execution and Dio's flying, screaming head. Life must go on though and as usual, the group has at least a little bit of time to recover. Saturday can be dedicated to rest and sleep; on Sunday morning, the clock chimes the hour at seven o'clock. The stairwells are clear of bodies; there's no more death to be dealt with for the time being. Unless, of course, you happened to recover something particularly unfortunate in your dreams... Once again, there's a new floor to explore; your reward for doing your job well. Some of your antics have resulted in more rule changes, effective immediately. You might want to avoid breaking those if you're fond of staying alive. But then again, there are ghosts. Maybe dying wouldn't be so bad after all.

[...This morning wasn't too bad for once, and Blue wakes up and calmly gets to business.

She takes one look at the workshop and immediately gets mad that it's a wood workshop and not something less dated, but she'll at least try to find something to work with here. Maybe she can work with some regains from the machine? God she's dying to make something useful.

Later in the afternoon, she checks the mail room for some paper, and while she does so, Ditty gently drops Wiggly's ball on the floor. It's time for Puffquest, the spiritual successor to Beequest.

Because if it wasn't Dio Brando, then who was it?]

workshop

[oftheland]

[Oh hey, it's Blue! That sure is swell.]

It really would be too easy if we actually had proper tools, wouldn't it? I guess there are a few things to be done with carpentry, but I'd prefer something useful.

[withabigsmile]

And here I thought I'd actually be able to make something! What a lame room.

[What is the point of giving them a bunch of tools and no wires or electronics to make something useful with? Sheesh.]

[oftheland]

I don't think it's entirely impossible that we'll be able to make something worthwhile with these, but we'll definitely need to get creative.

...

Especially with the stuff over in the chemistry lab.

[withabigsmile]

Chemistry isn't my specialty, unfortunately, but what did you have in mind?

[After Tabby, her first thought is explosives... Maybe they could find some kind of acid to make an opening?]

[oftheland]

Well, whatever we're dealing with is harmed by light, isn't it? So I'm sure with the right sort of chemical in combination with wood, we could start with some sort of torch and then go from there.

[withabigsmile]

...You think we can make enough for everyone?

[Because let's be real we could all use some god damn torches.

...

Hopefully this won't lead to someone getting set on fire.]

[oftheland]

It's entirely possible that we can, yes. I think we'd need to figure out the number of supplies we'll need from both this workshop and the chemistry lab, as well as a basic recipe for something that will burn for a long time without exhausting itself, but once we've got that, we can get to work.

[withabigsmile]

Well, like I said, I don't know much about this stuff.

[So maybe she can go figure out how to craft wood things... Wait.]

Why don't you teach me, Mister Giovanni! I promise I'm a good listener!

[Tell her all about the crazy science stuff in here, why don't you. Please don't mix any of it with blood.]

[oftheland]

...ah, I don't know much about it myself, either. Surge and then Carr were always the ones who dealt with actually making things instead of planning out ideas.

But I suspect it can't be too difficult to figure it all out, right?

[withabigsmile]

Sure!

[They are totally going to blow something up, or maybe lose a few fingers.

But Blue pulls her gloves out of her pocket, slides them over her hands, and hooks her arm around Giovanni's.]

What are we re still doing here, then! Come on, Mister Giovanni! Let's go learn about science.

[They are totally going to blow something up.]

[oftheland]

Oh, already...?

[...DOES HE HAVE MUCH OF A CHOICE IN GETTING DRAGGED TO THE CHEM LAB HERE, EVEN]

Well, I guess you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs...

[withabigsmile]

Exactly, so come on! [YOU ABSOLUTELY DO NOT GET A CHOICE AND IN FACT ARE ONCE AGAIN BEING DRAGGED AROUND BY A KID but at least this kid's almost an adult, that has to mean something.

TO THE CHEMISTRY LAB! God damn, that sure is a lot of shit she knows absolutely nothing about.]

So! Where do we start?

[You're leading this thing, buddy. You tell her.]

[oftheland]

...

[IT'S... ACTUALLY KIND OF LIKE THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND HERE...]

...I always was more interested in fieldwork than lab work, so I might be a little rusty, but I think the first thing is to locate the safety gear.

[withabigsmile]

Is there safety gear?

[Would the conductor encourage them to not kill themselves in here?]

[oftheland]

...You know, I can't say for sure. It couldn't hurt to look, though, right?

WIGGLYQUEST: THE PUFFENING

[trustmods]

[So. Where are we leaving Wiggly's Pokéball, exactly? Under the desk, or...?]

[withabigsmile]

[Yup! Under the desk. ...Wiggly might roll around a bit while she's waiting, but she won't stray from the safety of under the desk.]

[trustmods]

[Her experience is going to be a lot like Beedrill's, then; there are a lot of shadows in the area, a lot of darkness falling where it probably shouldn't and moving around in ways that can't be caused by anything in the room. Given that Wiggly comes from A Land Where There Are Gengars she should be...generally okay because it's not any worse than that (unless, of course, she has particular problems with Gengars).

However, the door will open eventually, and someone will come in that is most definitely not Dio Brando.]

[withabigsmile]

[She most definitely does not have any problems with Gengars! Ghost type moves can't hit her, after all.

But she does notice the door open, and the first thing she was told to look for was Dio Brando, and that's... Not Dio Brando. Or just Dio. Whatever.

If it's not the dead vampire, then who is it?]

[trustmods]

[Judging by the long white coat and the edges of the red scarf nearly trailing to the ground, it looks like Cabanela.]

[withabigsmile]

[Hello mister Cabanela... Or someone or something looking like mister Cabanela.

Is he here for the mail? Wiggly keeps her ears peeled.]

[trustmods]

[Sounds like; when he speaks, it does very definitely sound like Cabanela talking.]

Looks about what you expected. The usual for a Sunday. Universal.

...Looks like something I sent you's in here as well.

[withabigsmile]

[So uh, Blue talks to Wiggly. She talks to Wiggly a lot.

So it takes Wiggly a moment to think it over, but she definitely can put a name to that title. Good thing she didn't have to read or anything, that would be a huge pain. Humans write with so many letters!

What else is Mister Cabanela going to do?]

[trustmods]

[So many letters, Wiggly, it's a wonder that they've managed to get this far.

Someone will actually respond to him after a while, though it's decidedly more difficult to hear, probably because it's over that intercom again and not set to absolutely blaring volumes; sounds like the Conductor, though.

Cabanela will leave shortly after he's addressed with the...whatever that was; that's going to be about it for the night, apparently.]
