CAPTAIN PLACEHOLDER AND HIS MERRY BITCHES TAKE ON THE MAGIC APOCALYPSE: THE VIDYA GAME: THE BOARD GAME: THE TABLE TOP RPG: THE COMIC.

[20:54:32] Swaglord: The News Anchor has just announced that it is 4:30pm and that the discussion on America's new super weapon is still ongoing in the United Nations. There'll be more information after these messages.
[20:54:41] Swaglord: The common room is warm, fairly peaceful and feels secure, which makes for a fucking welcome change. It's been hard to study with everyone panicing over nothing, everyone partying like it's doomsday, coming in at 4 and 5am, denying what little sleep you usually get. Idiots.
[20:54:53] Swaglord: The windows allow a soft glow of sunlight which peeks out from the top of the building opposite in the square of accomodations.
[20:55:53] Spiritcurse: I look up from my tarot deck, currently performing a reading on nothing in particular. "Any of you lot want a go?"
[20:56:12] Dorian: I continue cleaning the floor, "Sorry, got a job to do."
[20:56:33] Tavolk: "I'll pass" Jordan says turnign back to his phone.
[20:56:41] Spiritcurse: "Sorry about the stains in my room, by the way."
[20:57:01] Dorian: "I've seen worse."
[20:57:23] Tavolk: "We have any beer letf?" I say to nobody in particular
[20:57:28] Forth'Wyn: "I'll do it." I sit down opposite Claris and smile
[20:58:05] Spiritcurse: "Alright, what's your name? And just for the record, I meant cards, but I'm not against the idea of escalation."
[20:58:24] Forth'Wyn: "Idea of what now?"
[20:58:27] Dorian: "Not in the common room, we have to at least TRY to be hygenic in here."
[20:58:49] Spiritcurse: "Aww, fine. What say we head down to my room?"
[20:59:33] Tavolk: "i'll get my own damned beer" Jordan mumbles "Anyone else for a drink?"
[20:59:49] Swaglord: Your 5th and final roommate walks in, hearing the word "beer".
[20:59:52] Spiritcurse: "Yeah, hit me. Not in that way. Not yet, at least."
[20:59:56] Swaglord: "You rang?"
[21:00:08] Forth'Wyn: "Just the cards will do, thanks. Did I hear beer?"
[21:00:24] Swaglord: Bruce's eyes are currently drooping quite badly, he has dark rings under his eyes but he looks happy.
[21:00:27] Swaglord: Man, fuck bruce.
[21:02:11] Dorian: "If you're gonna vomit, aim for the sink or the toilet."
[21:02:16] Tavolk: "Fuck you Bruce. Get your own beer." I sling two to Claris and Pip then grab one for myself "Only got the cheap stuff left" I say to the None bruce members of the room
[21:02:48] Swaglord: "There's still a bottle of voddy in the cupboard be te wuh. Help yourselves, I'm goin' out."
[21:03:03 | Edited 21:03:25] Tavolk: "Don't die" I say sarcasticaly
[21:03:12] Spiritcurse: "I've got a stash, if we desperately need it. And yeah, don't die Bruce."
[21:03:51] Forth'Wyn: "Or if you do, don't leave too big a mess!" I tip my beer at him
[21:03:55] Swaglord: Bruce strides over and grabs a beer. "You want one, Cleaning dude?"
[21:04:06] Tavolk: "He has a name"
[21:04:18] Swaglord: "Hey, he's only here once a week!"
[21:04:27] Tavolk: "Doesn't hurt to be nice"
[21:04:28] Dorian: "For eighteen years."
[21:04:53] Swaglord: "Vodka then?"
[21:05:03] Spiritcurse: "I've only been here... shit, when did I move here? Feels like ages ago."
[21:05:11] Dorian: "And I only do your floor once a week. I do the other floors on the other days. And no, I'm good for now. Got a job to do."
[21:07:03] Swaglord: "Aight man." Bruce walks to the door and bumps into Claris on the way out "See ya' later!" Bruce winks at Claris, swigging his beer.
[21:07:41] Tavolk: "douche"
[21:07:50] Spiritcurse: "Hey, be careful there. Or I might not be gentle."
[21:08:07 | Edited 21:08:12] Swaglord: The intro to the news blares out of the television as another report on the Super Weapon starts. What a bore.
[21:08:18] Tavolk: "Hey turn it up"
[21:08:19] Dorian: "God, why did I have to get the floor with the crazies on the doomsay scare?"
[21:09:18] Spiritcurse: I draw a card from my tarot deck. Either through deep magic, pure luck, or some rigging of the deck, it's the Death card.
[21:10:30] Forth'Wyn: "One day when this actually becomes a big deal, someone's gonna have to explain all this politics and crap to me." I grab the remote and turn the news up.
[21:10:35] Swaglord: "...ited Nations continue discussions on the new so called 'Super Weapon', members of the UN from the middle east are growing increasingly uneasy with their current situation. It is unclear whether the American Military intends to USE said weapon, however, weight is being thrown around and tensions are certainly extremely high right now."
[21:10:59] Swaglord: The report continues for a while, before moving on to some unrelated idleness.
[21:11:14] Tavolk: "Anyone know what this weapon actually is?"
[21:11:31] Spiritcurse: I draw another card, almost performing a reading on the news itself. It's a red Uno Reverse Turn Order card. I tilt my head in a puzzled manner. "What do you think this signifies?"
[21:12:16] Tavolk: "How long have you been doing that?"
[21:12:48] Spiritcurse: "Eh. Maybe a couple months. I'm not very good."
[21:13:34] Tavolk: "I noticed, keep at it though, just remove the cards that aint supposed to be in there first?"
[21:14:25 | Edited 21:14:37] Spiritcurse: "Nah. My sect believes that all card games have their place in the future." I draw Dark Magician. "Case in point."
[21:14:34 | Removed 21:15:25] Tavolk: This message has been removed.
[21:15:20] Tavolk: "Awkward, you should check through that thing!"
[21:15:23] Dorian: "You know, they've been silent about this thing for years, even though it got leaked onto the net." I say, leaning on my mop.
[21:15:55 | Edited 21:16:22] Tavolk: "Huh?" I say turning curiously "The weapon?" then as the TV draws my attention again I turn back
[21:15:58] Swaglord: "Reports of people claiming to have 'special abilities' have been increasing rapidly over the last fortnight. Many of these people attribute their claims towards the Druidic circle of Stonehenge. The Prime Minister claims that it's just another internet prank aimed bringing attention away from more important matters. The UK Tourist board is exceptionally happy however, with the influx of pilgrims coming to UK to visit the site of Stonehenge."
[21:16:46] Dorian: "Yeah. Probably has something to do with that," I nod towards the TV, "but who knows what crazies do?"
[21:17:22] Tavolk: "Claris you're in a cult, you know anything about this kind of shit?"
[21:18:17] Spiritcurse: "Yeah, happens a lot. Somebody claims something impressive, has the charisma to pull it off. The poor and downtrodden are drawn to them. I got introduced at the same place I got this" - I point to my nose ring.
[21:18:59] Tavolk: "Yeah but these powers, you know of any truth behind them?"
[21:20:15] Spiritcurse: "Some people have some powers, sure. The Mistress can control blood, or so she says."
[21:20:31] Forth'Wyn: I just stare at Claris, a bit confused.
[21:20:37] Tavolk: "wow, ever seen that happen?"
[21:20:47] Dorian: "Goddamn, you're worse than the Iahova's Witnesses."
[21:20:52] Spiritcurse: "You should join! We can do the ritual of bonding together!"
[21:21:42] Dorian: "No thanks." I get back to cleaning
[21:21:42 | Edited 21:22:11] Tavolk: "Sounds like fun" I say with a wink and a tip of my fedora "but no"
[21:21:58] Forth'Wyn: "Nope. I'll pass. No way."
[21:22:06] Spiritcurse: "Aww, you'd enjoy it" I reply with a flirtatious giggle.
[21:22:35] Forth'Wyn: I give Claris a suspicious look and take a long drink from my beer.
[21:22:42] Swaglord: The TV fizzes extremely loudly and turns off.
[21:22:50] Tavolk: "hey!"
[21:22:54 | Edited 21:23:07] Swaglord: A rumble is heard in the distance followed by a wav--
[21:23:54] Swaglord: "Rise and Shine kids." A voice softly speaks.
[21:24:07] Swaglord: Tiredness exudes from this voice.
[21:24:12] Swaglord: Oozes even.
[21:24:22] Swaglord: "Don't worry, take your time. I understand, I was here once."
[21:24:29] Swaglord: It's a woman's voice.
[21:24:37] Swaglord: "Don't try and stand, just try open your eyes first."
[21:24:42] Dorian: I rub my eyes, "Goddamn it, not this shit again."
[21:25:05] Spiritcurse: "M- Mistress?" I open my eyes, looking around for my backpack.
[21:25:08] Swaglord: "Oh good, you can talk!"
[21:25:12] Tavolk: "What happened" I strain to look around
[21:25:17] Swaglord: "No brain damage then. Fantastic."
[21:25:23] Swaglord: "Try not to move too much, give me a moment."
[21:25:41] Forth'Wyn: I blink my eyes open and look around. "What happened to the TV?"
[21:26:11] Swaglord: The woman stood in the middle of room smiles softly. "I'm afraid that won't be working for a little while longer."
[21:26:43] Swaglord: The room looks like an earthquake has hit it, the windows are just too bright to look at right now.
[21:26:48] Swaglord: Dust covers the floor.
[21:27:02] Spiritcurse: "This is the mother of all hangovers."
[21:27:27] Dorian: "Oh, for fuck's sake. Now I gotta clean up all this shit."
[21:27:38] Swaglord: This is definately your own flat.
[21:27:49 | Edited 21:27:54] Swaglord: Well, in David's case, not so.
[21:28:21] Swaglord: "Don't worry, someone else will clean it. We've got to get you to someplace safe first."
[21:28:26] Dorian: "Right, where's my broom?"
[21:28:46] Forth'Wyn: "Why? What's happening?"
[21:28:47 | Edited 21:28:55] Tavolk: "Who are you. What happened. How long were we out. How did you get in. HOW-" all of these are said as statements and as he reaches the end of his statements he clutches his head "explain?" he says quietly
[21:28:51] Swaglord: The woman stands tall and proud covered in an extremely baggy grey robe.
[21:29:17] Spiritcurse: I clamber to my feet, brushing the dust off my skirt. "This was brand new."
[21:29:51] Swaglord: "All right, all right, calm down." The woman crouches down and marks the dusty floor with a finger, her sleeves covering any marks she makes.
[21:30:04 | Edited 21:30:06] Swaglord: "Are any of you in pain, first off?"
[21:30:26] Tavolk: "I seem to be okay"
[21:30:35] Spiritcurse: "Nothing I've not done worse to myself."
[21:31:00] Dorian: I push myself up, "I will be fine, just as soon as I can get my broom."
[21:31:19] Forth'Wyn: I stand up and look down at myself. "I don't think so...?"
[21:31:41] Tavolk: I too attempt to stand
[21:31:45] Dorian: I fall straight back over and promptly start retching.
[21:33:07] Tavolk: as stand I slump to the side feeling dizzy
[21:33:14] Swaglord: The woman chuckles lightly to herself. "Don't worry, that'll wear off soon. Let's focus on being able to see." The woman walks over to David and offers a hand. The other hand appears to be clutching a rock.
[21:34:53] Dorian: I glance about and, seeing my Broom, grab it and push myself up on it. "I'm good, thanks."
[21:36:05] Spiritcurse: "These tights are ruined, my boots are scuffed, and my shirt's covered in dust. And to top it all off, the TV's broken. This is a shite day."
[21:36:11] Swaglord: The woman nods. "Let's all sit down a moment and I'll explain." She gestures to the couch.
[21:36:27] Tavolk: "tell me about it" I say still coughing on the floor
[21:37:14] Dorian: Using my broom as a crutch, I start searching the room for the rest of my cleaning supplies, "You mean you don't have days where shit like this just sort of happens?"
[21:37:56] Forth'Wyn: I stagger over to the couch to take my usual place right in the middle. "Not on weekdays."
[21:38:15] Spiritcurse: "I've woken up battered and bruised with an attractive stranger before, but not like this."
[21:38:49 | Edited 21:38:59] Tavolk: I hoist myself up slower this time and look down to my phone "Hmmm, not working."
[21:39:04] Swaglord: The woman moves the TV stand aside and slides it into the wall. Unfortunately, it crashes through the wall and all you can see through the hole is a bright light.
[21:39:20] Swaglord: "Ahh, we appear to be running out of time. I'll have to make this quick and you all need to work with me."
[21:39:30] Spiritcurse: "Oh god my fucking eyes. What'cha need?"
[21:39:51] Tavolk: "FUCK, did we get nuked?"
[21:40:01] Forth'Wyn: I grumble and hide my face in my hands.
[21:40:12] Swaglord: "If only." The girl smiles. "Please stay calm for a moment while I explain."
[21:40:40] Tavolk: "Go on"
[21:40:53] Swaglord: "Ok."
[21:41:15] Swaglord: "I only have one stone left." She gestures at the rock in her hand, holding it up and giving yet another charming smile.
[21:41:28] Swaglord: "This means we have one, maybe two chances to get this show on the road."
[21:42:12] Swaglord: She pulls out a card and reads off of it. "Br...Britfagistan is not where, what and/or when it used to be."
[21:43:14] Swaglord: "I want you all to try and keep calm and look to your right, out of the window. Allow your eyes to adjust."
[21:43:43] Swaglord: The gives a grin and turns to her left (Your right), as if to enthisise.
[21:44:59] Swaglord: To the right is the embodiment of the apocolypse.
[21:45:16] Forth'Wyn: "Well shit."
[21:45:22] Tavolk: "hmm"
[21:45:26] Spiritcurse: "I've had worse acid trips. We'll be okay."
[21:45:27] Swaglord: The buildings that made the square around you bare their steel structures and are not looking well at all.
[21:46:05] Forth'Wyn: "Please never tell me what you do in your free time."
[21:46:21] Spiritcurse: "Aww, you'd enjoy it, honest."
[21:46:45] Tavolk: "Guys, end of the world. focus please"
[21:47:14] Dorian: "This place again? Alright, I've done this before. The people are people. The things are also people. The monsters? Probably people. Oh, and don't eat anything that looks like green jelly."
[21:47:38] Spiritcurse: "Not even things we can confirm are green jelly?"
[21:47:48] Dorian: "No, it's made of people."
[21:47:54] Spiritcurse: "Kinky."
[21:48:02] Forth'Wyn: "And we don't want you going crazier than you already are."
[21:48:21] Swaglord: In the middle of the square is the sillouhette of a man. Your building and part of the square - the edge being where this figure is - appears to covered in a huge golden, glittering dome.
[21:48:31] Swaglord: "You're all very strong willed."
[21:48:42] Tavolk: "What happened"
[21:48:42] Swaglord: "Many deny it."
[21:48:55] Forth'Wyn: "Shit, am I dead?"
[21:48:59 | Edited 21:49:22] Swaglord: "You were talking about the TV no? What was the last thing that was on it?"
[21:49:08] Spiritcurse: "I take it they used that superweapon they were talking about on the news?"
[21:49:20] Tavolk: "American superweapon, yeah"
[21:50:38] Swaglord: "America in this one, is it?"
[21:50:59] Swaglord: She sighs. A ringlet at the side of her head bobs as she does.
[21:51:03] Swaglord: "We get that one a lot."
[21:51:39] Spiritcurse: I whisper "Those ringlets are hot" before raising my voice. "This has happened before?"
[21:51:46] Dorian: "America weaponised my life? What?"
[21:52:14] Swaglord: "Magic. Wizardry. Nuclear Magic Bomb."
[21:52:49] Tavolk: "Bastards"
[21:53:22] Swaglord: "It's called Magitech in this Language." She nods to Pip. "I borrowed your Language by the way, sorry about that."
[21:54:21] Swaglord: "Basically, your government did something to anger the other one. The intension was to make your government's people suffer, so that your people would make your government suffer. Unfortunately, the entire world suffered."
[21:55:38] Spiritcurse: "So everywhere looks like this?"
[21:55:57 | Edited 21:56:10] Swaglord: "Yes. Someone here has protected this space, but again, unfortunately..." An explosion resonates outside. "Someone has finally taken note."
[21:56:07] Spiritcurse: "Even London?"
[21:56:20] Swaglord: "What is London?"
[21:56:33 | Edited 21:56:41] Tavolk: "Who are you" I look riight at her
[21:56:35] Dorian: "A miserable little pile of secrets."
[21:56:38] Spiritcurse: "A wretched hive of scum and villany."
[21:57:04] Forth'Wyn: "A hole in the world like a great black pit, and it's filled with people who are filled with shit. There's no place like London!"
[21:57:08] Tavolk: "An alright place, pretty, just full of knobs"
[21:57:29] Swaglord: "You Britfagians love to hate, don't you?"
[21:57:32] Swaglord: She smiles again.
[21:58:00] Tavolk: "Are you from the internet?"
[21:58:15] Swaglord: "I believe my employeer is, infact."
[21:58:20] Swaglord: "I'm glad that that has stayed."
[21:58:32] Tavolk: "so why are you here?"
[21:58:43] Spiritcurse: "Well, then we're in safe hands. The internet has never steered me wrong!"
[21:59:11] Forth'Wyn: "As long as there are no tentacle monsters out there," I say hesitantly.
[21:59:11] Swaglord: "Well, there's a giant golden bubble and someone is attacking your bubble. We're pulling you out of the bubble, hoping that we can help you help us. For saving you, you know?"
[21:59:59] Spiritcurse: "That seems fair." I withdraw the whip I had tied around me as a belt. "Let's go get these bastards."
[21:59:59] Tavolk: "I'm in. I need more answers. Are there other survivors of this world?"
[22:00:16] Swaglord: "Tell you what," Another explosion resonates, a lot closer this time. "I'll take you to the school, and I'll explain more when we're there."
[22:01:15] Swaglord: "My name is Claire, I'll be your guide and saviour for today." Claire points at the windows. "The exits are here, here and here." She points to the doors. "This is not an exit, but a deathtrap. Never trust a door."
[22:01:37] Tavolk: "I like you"
[22:01:46] Spiritcurse: "I like where this is going."
[22:02:06] Dorian: "I'm going to need around eight nine-volt batteries, a Van de Graaff generator, two meters of copper wire, preferably insulated, a soldering iron, a roll of solder, five Farads of capacitors, eight ohms of resistors and a plastic box. Oh, and some super glue."
[22:02:14] Dorian: I say, emerging from some deep thought
[22:02:45] Swaglord: "I'm going to begin the ritual to release this bubble. This will take around 10 minutes and I will not be able to talk until I am able to release the spell. As soon as I do, you will follow me and tell me anything I may have missed."
[22:03:02 | Edited 22:03:05] Swaglord: Her demeanour has changed to that of a buisness woman.
[22:03:15] Spiritcurse: I salute lazily. "Right you are."
[22:03:32] Swaglord: "Talk amongst yourselves and try to be awake. I reccomend some light stretching, as we will be running most of the way."
[22:03:59] Swaglord: "Again, the ritual will take 10 minutes. Do not disturb me, lest you wish for me to start it again."
[22:04:18] Swaglord: Her attitude changes again, as she smiles. "Let's get to this."
[22:04:29] Forth'Wyn: I nod at her, zipping my lips.
[22:05:10] Swaglord: Claire stretches briefly, before perfect circle around her, sitting down and closing her eyes.
[22:05:25] Dorian: "I'm going to need to borrow a bag, I'm not going anywhere without my cleaning supplies. And the aforementioned collection of electrical supplies, but they're not a hundred percent necessary." I instantly start looking about for an empty bag, a kitchen knife, my cleaning supplies and my electircal kit.
[22:06:23] Tavolk: I head over to the now switched off fridge, grab the last cold beer I'll have in a while and drink it. "I can't decide if this is fun or not"
[22:06:49] Spiritcurse: I lean to Jordan's ear. "What say we draw on her while she's focusing?"
[22:07:00] Swaglord: The beer was not cold.
[22:07:14 | Edited 22:07:44] Tavolk: "This is nolonger fun" I drink the beer anyway "I would say yes but I'm thinking"
[22:07:34] Spiritcurse: "Come on, let's have some fun. In whatever way you please~"
[22:07:48] Forth'Wyn: "In ten minutes?"
[22:07:58] Spiritcurse: "I'm a very fast worker."
[22:13:05] Tavolk: I shrug an go grab my bag from the corner of the room and search through it
[22:14:42] Dorian: I take everything I can find towards the list and put it all in several layered plastic bags from under the sink.
[22:15:38 | Edited 22:16:09] Swaglord: The bags feel very filmsy, however, with them being layered so much, they handle your cleaning equipment right now.
[22:16:27] Spiritcurse: I take a pen from my bag and creep towards Claire.
[22:16:41] Dorian: "Probably not a good idea."
[22:17:13] Spiritcurse: "My ideas are rarely good, but always fun."
[22:17:18] Tavolk: I reach up to the roof and unscrew the lightbulb. I shake it slightly
[22:17:52] Dorian: "Yes, but this one might get us killed, if what she said is anything to go by"
[22:18:33] Tavolk: "good " I say to myself and bag the bulb packaging it int he curtains I tear down.
[22:18:48] Forth'Wyn: I find my backpack from where I dumped it next to the sofa earlier and hold it, not really sure what else I can do
[22:19:36] Tavolk: I head to the knife set and take the longest sharpest one. "Take a knife each"
[22:19:54] Spiritcurse: I reach into my bag and pull out a nicely engraved knife. "Got one."
[22:20:10] Dorian: I hold up my broom, "Better with this."
[22:20:19] Tavolk: I reach round the back of the kettle and take the lead formt he wall
[22:20:32] Forth'Wyn: I pull out the next biggest knife. "Where am I supposed to keep this without stabbing myself?"
[22:20:33] Tavolk: I cut it from the kettle with my knife and pocket it.
[22:20:52] Tavolk: "Get the smallest knife and attatch it to your broom, could be handy"
[22:22:13] Dorian: "Nah, I'll be ok. I'll hang on to the cleaver if you really want, though."
[22:22:31] Dorian: "I will require a bag to put everything in, though."
[22:23:06] Tavolk: I take the spare knives and the cleaver, and put them in my own bag. "okay everyone spread out the load"
[22:24:14] Dorian: I take a glance out of the window, trying to see if any semblence of a gardener's shed is in sight.
[22:24:19] Tavolk: i cut and take every lead i can form the place
[22:26:16 | Edited 22:26:34] Tavolk: And then grab five beers
[22:26:26] Swaglord: Claire stirs from her trance, but stays more or less in the position she began it in.
[22:26:38] Swaglord: "Hello again, are you all ready?"
[22:26:56] Tavolk: "I think so"
[22:27:04] Spiritcurse: "As I'll ever be."
[22:27:13] Forth'Wyn: "I s'pose."
[22:27:17] Swaglord: "Once again, you will be following me closely, I can only take responsibility for between 3 and 4 limbs, depending on their size. After that, you will be on your own."
[22:27:50] Forth'Wyn: "Err, what?"
[22:28:44] Swaglord: "As I release this spell, you may feel mildly naucious. Don't worry, the effects will not last more than 2 hours, as that's the amount of time it usually takes to kill, the but school is only one hour away, so you should be fine."
[22:29:26] Tavolk: I grab several layers of clothing as she says this and put them on.
[22:29:50] Swaglord: "I'm going to count down from 10. When I hit 0, we're going out of the window closest to the TV and down towards the man in the courtyard to survey the scene."
[22:30:05] Swaglord: "10..."
[22:30:09] Swaglord: "5..."
[22:30:31] Dorian: I prepare to use my broom to vault if necessary and brace for running.
[22:31:04] Swaglord: "3, 2, 1." The girl smashes the glass with her face as she darts out of the specified window, dropping 4 floors in under half a second.
[22:31:14] Spiritcurse: I prepare to sprint. This is a feat not easy in heavy boots and a skirt.
[22:31:33] Swaglord: "Move!"
[22:31:39] Swaglord: "I'll catch you, don't worry!"
[22:31:48] Spiritcurse: I shrug and jump out of the window.
[22:31:50] Dorian: I jump out of the window, grabbing for the drain in order to slow me down.
[22:31:52] Tavolk: I vault out the window
[22:32:02] Forth'Wyn: I run to the window and hesitate, closing my eyes before jumping
[22:32:29] Swaglord: As you jump one after another, she woman lifts the stone and you all, for a brief moment, KNOW how to fall.
[22:34:20] Swaglord: As you all connect with the floor fine, you realise the bubble has rapidly shrunk and is now about 5 meters in diameter around the figure in the middle of the square. Claire stand in that bubble.
[22:34:44] Dorian: I make a dash and try and get as in the bubble as I can
[22:34:57] Spiritcurse: "I heavily dislike where this is going" I murmur, running towards the bubble.
[22:35:10] Tavolk: I do my best to sprint towards them, clothes wrapped tight around me, i try not to breathe in too much
[22:35:30] Forth'Wyn: I sprint towards the bubble, my head down low
[22:35:31] Swaglord: An explosion echoes overhead as the last person enters the bubble. Thankfully, it wasn't the building you were in.
[22:36:35] Tavolk: "BRUCE!"
[22:36:41] Forth'Wyn: "Fuck! Bruce!"
[22:37:02] Tavolk: "I DISTINCTLY TOLD YOU TO NOT DIE! YOU BETTER STICK TO THAT!"
[22:37:17] Swaglord: Stood here in the bubble, posed in a HALT! style is Bruce, beer being poured into his mouth by his other hand.
[22:37:44] Spiritcurse: "Yer... yer a wizard, Bruce."
[22:38:19] Swaglord: Claire looks like she's about to begin explaining something, when she suddenly stops.
[22:38:29] Swaglord: "No time, Next building, other side, go!"
[22:38:34] Swaglord: Claire zips off.
[22:38:44] Dorian: "Goddamn it, every time."
[22:38:44 | Edited 22:38:58] Forth'Wyn: I don't hesitate and bolt after her
[22:38:50] Tavolk: I follow her quickly
[22:39:28] Spiritcurse: I follow as well. "Bloody wizards, ruining everything."
[22:39:38] Dorian: I glance about quickly, looking for a vehicle, before moving off
[22:40:51 | Edited 22:40:55] Swaglord: A fucking LOUD bolt of flame strikes about a foot away from David, before disaperating.
[22:41:06] Tavolk: "THE FUCK WAS THAT"
[22:41:07] Swaglord: Voices sound in the distance.
[22:41:14] Dorian: "Polite." I sigh, and follow the group.
[22:41:18] Forth'Wyn: "Nopenopenopenopenope!"
[22:41:27] Swaglord: The voices sound extremely rough and rugged.
[22:41:53] Spiritcurse: "Bloody. Damned. Wizards!"
[22:42:02 | Edited 22:42:26] Swaglord: Claire looks at you all from around a pillar on the other side of the building. "My, you guys are slow."
[22:42:24] Forth'Wyn: "I'm a tiny little woman!"
[22:42:34] Swaglord: "Right you are, little lady!"
[22:42:44] Tavolk: "sorry" I go bright red
[22:42:54] Swaglord: "Now, group up real close and stay still a moment."
[22:43:07] Swaglord: "Right around me now, come come, hurry up."
[22:43:09] Tavolk: I do as she says
[22:43:25] Dorian: I meander over and stay near her, leaning on my broom
[22:43:28] Spiritcurse: I stand close to her. "Mmm, I could get used to this."
[22:43:42] Swaglord: "Shush a minute."
[22:43:46] Forth'Wyn: I join the bunch, giving Claris a Look.
[22:45:00] Swaglord: In an extremely quick flash, Claire lifts up her robe and covers you all in it for less than a second. When she pulls it back from over your heads, you're on the other side of the accomodation blocks.
[22:45:16] Swaglord: "That's as far as that will take us. If you see anyone, shout it."
[22:45:30] Tavolk: "why"
[22:45:35] Spiritcurse: "That split second was probably the only good part of today."
[22:45:45] Dorian: "Claris, shut up."
[22:45:57] Spiritcurse: "Never!"
[22:46:00 | Edited 22:46:05] Swaglord: "I try to go with pink stripes on these days."
[22:46:30] Dorian: I sigh, my head in my hands. "Oh god, they're multiplying."
[22:46:40] Swaglord: "Now, I need you on the other side of this forest." She points at about 100 meters of trees.
[22:46:45] Swaglord: "Move."
[22:47:05] Swaglord: Claire zips off into the clump of trees. No it isn't a forest. It's about 100 meters of trees.
[22:47:14 | Removed 22:47:19] Swaglord: This message has been removed.
[22:47:21] Dorian: "Are we ever going to get an explanation, or is it just going to be action after action goddamn it."
[22:47:36] Tavolk: "I feel your pain"
[22:47:38] Spiritcurse: "She doesn't take things slow, does she?" I start up a jog.
[22:48:20] Tavolk: I jog after the party
[22:49:02] Dorian: I follow at a light jog, my mind wandering.
[22:49:18] Swaglord: As you run across the empty patch towards the forest, 3 out of four members of the party drop into pits as they move.
[22:50:45 | Edited 22:51:59] Tavolk: As I drop I grab the edge of the pit and haul ass out of there. I continue my jog, brushing myself down
[22:50:55] Forth'Wyn: I scramble at the bottom of the hole, trying to climb and falling repeatedly. Finally, I manage to drag myself over the ledge
[22:51:55] Dorian: I climb straight back out, my mind still not in the game, really.
[22:51:56] Swaglord: The floor shakes as a another explosion occurs across the forest where Clair ran to.
[22:52:17] Swaglord: "Change of plan!" Claire says with a smile, as she pulls Pip up from out of the hole.
[22:52:21] Swaglord: "Follow me!"
[22:52:33] Swaglord: She darts off down the hole next to the one Pip was in.
[22:52:42 | Edited 22:52:57] Tavolk: "Damnit" I say and jump in
[22:52:49] Forth'Wyn: I whine quietly to myself and follow her.
[22:53:17] Dorian: "Why today? Why is this always happening, and why TODAY, of all times?" I sigh, and lower myself into the hole
[22:53:43] Swaglord: "You lot need to get to the other side of this cavern. We dug it in advance incase this happened." Claire mumbles something under her breath. "Anyways! There's no chance of them getting you if you run, so keep up the pace and have fun! I'll meet you on the other side when I've dealt with our friends."
[22:54:04] Swaglord: Claire backflips out of the hole.
[22:54:12] Spiritcurse: "I doubt we want to meet these friends."
[22:54:44] Swaglord: Looking down, theres a hole at the bottom of this hole about the size of a rabbit hole.
[22:54:45] Dorian: "Can I get that beer now?"
[22:55:11 | Edited 22:55:23] Tavolk: "later, right now we need to run"
[22:55:37] Spiritcurse: "I don't like this. I don't like this at all." I jump down, hoping the hole is larger than it seems.
[22:55:39 | Edited 22:55:44] Dorian: "Claris, you're called Alice now. Get down the rabbit hole."
[22:55:57] Tavolk: "Heh, works for me"
[22:55:59] Swaglord: As you manage to get through the hole, realise that there's another floor a short distance down.
[22:55:59] Dorian: I follow, broom in hand.
[22:56:14] Swaglord: It's extremely hard to see further than a few meters.
[22:57:31] Tavolk: "Here" I pull out a wind up torch "use this"
[22:58:25] Dorian: "You do it, I've got both hands full."
[22:58:37] Spiritcurse: In my unwilling position as "person in front", I take the torch and light the way.
[22:58:42] Swaglord: As your light exposes more of the area, you realise a cavern has been dug out for you. Another explosion resonates behind you, covering the entrance to this cave in blue fire.
[22:58:59] Swaglord: "Sorry!" Shouts Claire, from a battlefield away.
[22:59:04] Tavolk: I too hop down
[23:00:06] Forth'Wyn: I follow the others down the hole, sticking close to to the light
[23:00:48] Spiritcurse: "I don't know which way I'm supposed to be going."
[23:00:57] Swaglord: The cave goes up and down repeatedly in a zigzagy shape. There is only one way forwards.
[23:01:07] Dorian: "Well, there's your answer."
[23:01:52] Spiritcurse: "This looks encouraging." I lead the way.
[23:02:54] Swaglord: As you mount the 3rd "zag" of the tunnel and slide down the other side, you realise that the next "zig" is a bit too straight up to run up like the others.
[23:03:52] Tavolk: "Can anyone climb up that?" I look towards David
[23:04:16] Dorian: "I can't climb for shit."
[23:04:31] Spiritcurse: I try to estimate the length of it. "I might be able to use this whip as a rope."
[23:05:17] Tavolk: "I was going to have one of us lower this curtain."
[23:05:24] Swaglord: The height is about 2 and a half meters, give or take a bit.
[23:06:35] Spiritcurse: "I can reach that far with this. Unless there's an easier way?"
[23:06:51] Tavolk: "go for it, get up there and help us up"
[23:08:07] Spiritcurse: "Alright, give me a boost and I'll lower it down."
[23:08:30] Tavolk: I look to the others, "come on"
[23:08:55] Dorian: I turn to Jordan, "You do one leg, I'll do the other. Not like that."
[23:09:34 | Edited 23:09:39] Tavolk: I look to Pip "you take this one"
[23:10:06] Dorian: I ready my hands to brace and lift Claris.
[23:10:51] Forth'Wyn: I do the same on the other side, bending a little so she doesn't have to lift her leg as high
[23:11:20 | Edited 23:11:39] Swaglord: As you are raised up, you realise a root sticks out from the cieling and you can reach it from here. You could probably hold on to it as you grab onto the ledge of the "zag"
[23:11:49] Spiritcurse: I climb up the impromptu staircase, making sure to give ample views, and giggle slightly. Then I lower the whip down, to help the others up.
[23:13:33] Tavolk: I clamber up roucgly with the help of my friends
[23:14:06] Forth'Wyn: I scrabble at the bottom of the wall but eventually reach a point where the others can help me up
[23:14:12] Dorian: I climb up first, keeping my broom, now thoroughly useless as a cleaning implement due to being dirtier than the average student room, at the ready
[23:15:28] Swaglord: As you decend the zag and look for the next zig, you realise the cave has opened up somewhat. A large and foreboding silhouette stands before the party. A rumble is heard above as the figure begins to take a step forwards.
[23:15:42] Swaglord: There's a gun in his hand.
[23:16:28] Swaglord: He lowers it to his hip as another rumble is heard.
[23:16:34] Swaglord: "You pray?"
[23:17:01] Spiritcurse: "Pray to whom?"
[23:17:41] Swaglord: He raises the gun to back to shoulder height, which is really fucking high, by the way.
[23:17:49] Swaglord: "Ok."
[23:17:53] Swaglord: ~~~End of Session~~~
