Laraman Posted August 4, 2006 Report Posted August 4, 2006 Ms.Croft's post So here it is again. The sequel to the first Resident Evil RPG. This time things are different....no slow zombies or villagers. No stupid things with no weapons. This time the zombies have 'evolved' to run as fast as athletes and the mutations have become just as horrific. RULES: 1. No killing off other characters (Only I can do that...I'll get to that later) 2. No flood etc. 3. No special abilities, like being able to mutate and arm etc. 4. No characters from the series but we will meet some. 5. No swear allowed, in any language! And all the other classics. Now I've changed a few details in this RPG. At points in the game I will offer every character a multiple choice question depending on what they do in the game. I will also offer group questions that will affect the route of the game. Here's an example: There are two ways to get across, which one will you take? 1. Climb the pipe and cross the wire across the chasm. 2. Walk across the rickety wood across the gap. Some of these choices can have disastorous affects like death so do choose wisely. I will not make it too hard and it is down to common sense. some multiple choices will be nice and some won't be, it depends on what happens. The Story: Peace had finally returned after the horror that had taken place 3 years ago in Europe. Although a lot of lives had been lost, justice had finally been won by the small group of heros that saved the Earth that day. Of course they went there separate ways and got on with their lives but unbeknown to them, something tragic was happening elsewhere, in a small unknown location. A group had been waiting patiently for years for an opertunity to test their latest creations. Again the world is in danger, and again it needs heros...which is where this story begins. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Okeydoke, create a character that is not from the game and has no special abilities (No Alice Morph...sorry!). Subject one: Dr Demi Sawyer. Occupation: Scientist Location: New Onoarc City. Age: 23 Status: Driving towards destination. Ok make some characters and I'll start the game soon. Morpheanne's post Aww, bugger. I was gonna get the whoopin' on, lol. Okay, a character. Name: Mileena Matthews Age: 19 Gender: Female Location: New Onoarc City Occupation: Police Officer Skills: Weapons, Hacking and Driving Bio: When she was younger, her father would always take her on hunting trips with him. That's where she learnt all of her gun skills. When she was at school, she was a regular little system crashing hacker. She graduated from her school a year ago and joined the local police force, where she is the youngest officer. She had heard about the incidents at Raccoon City and in Spain with the viruses. Now it seems that something similar is happening again... Picture: Ms.Croft's post Aww sorry Morph! You could have her character...but she can't be able to be super strong etc. Ohh another note, when we get to 'bosses', please don't post a post where it says, "We all shoot the boss and it dies." lol as that is not much fun. Each boss has a weakness...which I will not reveal...but I will leave clues in it's appearance or the environment etc! MsC Morpheanne's post No, that's okay. I should be creative, lol. Ms.Croft's post Right...I'll start. Anyone jump in with a character whenever you want to...you can introduce yourself in text or through a Biography...I don't mind Resident Evil RPG Trilogy File 2 Location Unknown..... "Yes Safov, it has finally begun! The world will fall into chaos, all thanks to me!" "Sir, when are we going to initiate this plan?" "We.....no, no, no...I, I, have already started it, without your help Safov!" "Oh of course sir, I'm sorry for questioning you. But please sir, would you grant me the honour of telling me your plan?" "Pah! You are annoying me Safov...but very well. It all begins with this!" "What is it sir?" "This is the start of evolution my poor friend. In this tube I hold a miracle to transform stupid humans into much better things.....no not things, Gods! Of course I would never be able to get anyone to test out this liquid would I...so I guess I'll have to give it to them forcefully...against their own will!" "But how?" "Well, that is where you come in! Take my plane Safov and spread a preety picture across the sky....using this liquid I can gas that pathetic town into obliviation and test my virus!" "But what is this virus sir?" "This is the most potent, most powerful virus in the world. Remember those two incidents a couple of years ago?" "You mean Racoon city and that incident in Spain, correct?" "Yes...now I've fused every known virus so far! I've fused The T, The G, The Veronica Virus, Les Plagas Parasites all into one lovely little capsule...plus I've added something of my own."" "What is that sir?" "Too many question Safov, too many questions!" "Sorry sir, but will you grant me one more question?" "Fine! But this had better be the last one, for your life is expendible." "What town is this sir?" "New Onoarc City, now go and take the 'S five' with you. Oh and Safov...drink this!" 3 days later "Now baby there ain't no mountain high enough, ain't no valley low enough, ain't no river wide enough, to keep me from getting to you babe!" I was driving back towards Onoarc after seeing my parents for the weekend. I worked for Reumball Corporation as a lead scientist, finding new antidotes to todays problems. Our company were close to finding a cure for Cancer and we had just been given a grant of $500 000 to fund our research. Life was good for me...and I had no problems..or so I thought. "Hmmm the road is quiet today." I said as I turned off the radio. I shrugged it off and continued to hum 'ain't no mountain'. The Reumball skyscraper was looming above the horizon and the other buildings soon followed. "Ahhh 2009, what does the year have in store for me?" New year's eve had was a week ago, which was the main reason I was travelling to my parents. My birthday was on New year's day and I had just turned 23, I felt old...but I wasn't doing bad for a 23 year old working as the head of a department of a multi-million organisation. "What is that?" I heard some beaping behind me and looked in my wingmirror. A car was racing up the motorway towards me, it attempted to overtake and was cut off by an oncoming car. He was signalling to me but I couldn't make out what he was trying to signal. He was pointing at me but why? His movements became more eratic and I soon figured out he was pointing in front of me. I turned my attention back to the road and hit something. Swerving my car around I crashed into a barrier releasing the airbag. I eventually pushed the air bag back down and got out of the car. Looking around I finally realised what I had hit. "Oh no!" I ran towards the body and knelt beside it. I had beat this guy up preety bad. He had gashes all over his face but he still had colour in his face. "Sir, please wake up!" His eyes opened and he looked at me. "A human...blood!" "What?" I replied with a concerned look on my face. "BLOOD!" He hit me in the stomach making me keel over, and then grabbed my neck. His strength was unbelievable. All the air rushed out of my body and I felt myself going quickly. I couldn't scream or speak, I was gone for sure. "Not so fast!" I heard a shower of bullets and then felt a big release as the air rushed back into my lungs. My vision returned to me and I saw my attacker on the floor spewing blood out of every hole in his body. Struggling to get up I looked at my saviour. They looked at me in return and smiled. "Hey!" "Who are you?" Morpheanne's post This girl was obviously shaken. I mean, who wouldn't be if someone just tried to rip your flesh off. "I...I'm Demi Sawyer. You?" "The name's Mileena Matthews" "Okay. Thanks for saving me there" "No problem" "What's going on?" "Get in the car, we shouldn't stay here for too long" I replied Demi walked around the car and got into the passengers seat next to me, while I, of course got in the drivers seat and started up the car.

Laraman Posted August 4, 2006 Author Report Posted August 4, 2006 Ms. Croft's post Mileena was driving towards the city, she looked ahead with no emotion in her face as if she was lost in thought. I was getting uncomfortable and decided to brake the silence, "So, what was that?" I said pointing behind my shoulder. "That, was a zombie." She replied calmly. "A what?!" "Well, kind of. There different than the ones you've heard of. "Heard of? How would you know that?" I asked questioningly. "Hm, everyone knows about that incident. It was only on the news for about 6 months straight after Racoon City was blown into smitherins. You still hear about it now...besides listen to this!" She turned on the radio and flicked through every frequency. Each station was playing the same news report. "Today New Onoarc City struck rock bottom as the world is reminded of the horror that had taken place 9 years ago in Racoon City. Human Monsters have risen again and are feasting on human flesh , passing the virus on, spreading it throughout the city. Residents have finally found there evil and are fleeing to the only medical sight they know of, Reumball Corporation. Ironically Reumball are on top of the suspect list of releasing the virus into the city streets, just like Umbrella all those years ago. This reporter is left to wonder if another outbreak could happen again in a couple of years...if this one is finished in the first place. Our hearts go out to the residents of Onoarc city. Emily Johnson, 93.3." I was left speechless, was this all true, or some sick joke being played on me. Mileena looked at me and back to the road. "So," I said braking the silence, "what are we doing going into the city?" Ms.Croft's post "To stop this madness of course!" She replied as we entered the city limits. "What, are you serious?" "Of course, someone has to stop this, oh by the way, there's a handgun in the glove compartment, take it." I looked at her to see if she was being serious. "Well, go on then!" I opened the compartment and grabbed the gun inside. "How do you fire one of these?" I asked examining it's silver exterior. "Pull the trigger, it's an automatic. There's no need to pull the top unless you want to get rid of a bullet, which I don't recommend. When yo run out of bullets the top of the gun will stay pulled back, squeeze the handle and the magazine will fall out allowing you to put in another. Then pull the trigger slightly to load your first bullet." "Oh, simple!" I retorted sarcastically. "So, fancy explaining what's happened to this city in the space of 3 days!" She looked at me and then back to the road taking a left. "2 days ago we all heard of an unveiling of Reumball's new product to virtually change the whole of humanity as we know it. Millions of us all gathered outside the building, apart from me, I watched it from the safety of the TV." I nodded as I knew that they were unveiling the cure of Cancer." At 2:30am exactly, the Reumball Corporation unleased a gas from the rooftops and it seeped into the city streets. Everyone thought it was part of the illusion and breathed in the gas without worrying. 20 minutes later they all changed, for the worse. We thought they had died, everyone there. But no, their bodies reanimated and the virus spread rapidally. I had to wear a gasmask for 1 full day and had to watch friends and family collapse." She looked solemnly across the streets avoiding the zombies roaming for fresh blood. They ran after our car, shouting and screaming. I wanted to tell Mileena about Reumball's true intention but thought better about it, after all she didn't need to know that I had made that cure, she was the only person I had. "I..I'm sorry for..." A zombie pushed it's way from the backseat and grabbed Mileena's neck, strangling her. I panicked and pointed the gun at the zombie, pulling the trigger. Mileena lost control and swerved into an alleyway crashing. We were stuck and the zombie was beginning to wake back up. "Come on!" She grabbed my arm and helped me through the sun roof. She threw me a magazine clip and jumped off the roof, I followed and pointed the gun in front of me. "Come on, lets get to Reumball!" She said as hoards of zombies ran down the alleyway towards us. Multiple Choice: 1. Take the ladder you spot up to the rooftops. 2. Face the hoards head on. Morpheanne's post I think we should take the ladder, lol. --------------------------- "Oh my god! They're everywhere!" Demi yelled "Quick. Up there!" I replied pointing to the ladder. Demi began climbing up the ladder, I shot a couple of zombies in the head before quickly following her up. Well, I had to shoot them, I didn't want my legs ripped off. We reached the top a couple of minutes later. "What now?" Demi asked "Uh. Didn't think of that. Um..." "Didn't think?" "I'm workin' on it. Hang on" Ms.Croft's post Hmm good choice or bad choice...you decide. If you had gone after the hoards of Zombies...this would of happened. Mileena grabbed my arm and towards the zombies shooting them, some of them fell but in turn some ran after us. "This way!" Mileena jumped on a car and jumped through the window crashing into the next room. I followed but got scratche on the leg by a zombie. I winced in pain and looked around me. "Ahhh...some good news!" Mileena quipped looking at the shelves. "We could use it!" I replied looking at the scratch and examining it with my fingers. "Fantastic!" I looked towards Mileena and what she was looking at. There were two shotguns and a grappling hook. "Great...ok let's go...you alright?" I nodded but I was lying...I had been infected. Grabbing a shotgun I followed Mileena through the door she unlocked. The room we stepped into had a glass roof but we kept walking though the next door into the basement. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Ok, I've got an idea!" Mileena chimed in looking over the rooftops. "Great...better make it quick though!" I said looking over the ladder. The things were climbing the ladder at breakneck speed. This virus not only had turned them into Zombies...but into proffesional athletes. They were shouting things like, "Ladder!", "Blood!". I furiously kicked the metal ladder but I knew that wouldn't work. "Come on!" Mileena grabbed my arm and ran towards the edge of the roof. "What?" "JUMP!" I followed her advice and jumped with her. We cleared a large gap but landed on a glass roof. Unsurprisingly we fell through it landing on some boxes. We both winced in pain, my leg felt twisted...but I knew it wasn't. Mileena was holding her stomach, I looked at her questioningly. "Don't worry, just landed on my ribs!" We were slightly damaged but alright. There were two doors. Mileend awent to one door and I went to the other. Unfortunately it was locked from the other side. "It's locked." I muttered solemnly. "Don't worry, that's not a problem, probably nothing in there worth having anyway. Come on...this leads to the basement...lets go!" Morpheanne's post OOC: Oh, we missed out on some guns. Oh well, atleast you didn't get infected! YAY! lol Rika_Croft's post ooohhh yea , okies i get to join now, so we don't have to be the same people as last time right okies here goes: Name: Angela Miller Age:20 Gender: Female Location: Lives in NewYork but is currently visiting relatives in New Onoarc city Occupation: Fashion Designer ( I've been watching way too much project runway LOL) Skills: Making pretty costumes LOL jkjk , lock picking, weapons, and accrobatics and stuff. Bio: Was a bit of a problem child during her younger years. One day she got in a really bad situation and almost lost her life. ever since then she has changed. she joined the gymnastics team at her highschool , and went on to become a very famous fashion designer in NewYork. She came back to visit her relatives in New Onoarc Citiy ( LOL could you have thought of a harder name to spell), but when she got there she realized that something was really wrong. I'm working on the pic right now I'll have it posted in a sec. here it is: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y234/Rika_Croft/doll.png Ms.Croft's post Ohh an all girl cast, let's kick ass lol! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I noticed a sudden drop in temperature as we descended down the stairs like we were stepping into a gigantic freezer. My breath became visible in the air, and so did Mileena's. We kept on descending through the very large basement. Mileena had her gun held up high in level with her head. I copied this as mine was at my side, accidentaly I pressed the button which released the magazine onto the floor. "Ah darn it!" Without thinking I ran down the stairs to collect my magazine clip. I slipped suddenly toppeling down the stairs. I hit my head on the stairs and ended up rolling down what seemed like 2 sets of stairs before I finally hit the floor. I grabbed my head on instinct trying to ignore the pain. I clenched my eyes together and concentrated on happy memories, like the weekend I had with my parents. "Blood!" My eyes suddenly opened and I felt a firm grip on my arm. It picked me up and I screamed without realising it. The thing behind me tried to make me keep still as I thrashed my arms wildely, trying to get away from my inevatable death. "Get down!" I could see Mileena's silhouette in front of me, I elbowed the thing in the stomach and ducked. Immeadiately a gunshot rang through the dark corridors. A body slumped behind me and breathing a sigh of relief I looked up at Mileena. "Th...Thank..you!" She grabbed my arm and pulled me up. "It's not dead yet, I only hit the shoulder!" She replied sternly looking at the body on the floor. "WHAT?" It suddenly got up and keeled over to its side where Mileena shot it. She pointed her gun at it and so did I. "What are you doing!" My eyes widened as I realised that we had hit a human. "Who shoots people, honestly?" "Sorry, I mean, who goes around an says 'blood' and then grabs people?" I replied with my gun still pointing at her. "You have blood on your face that's why! I was only trying to help, sheesh!" I felt suddenly guilty and looked to Mileena who lowered her gun. Mine was still pointed at her. "Ummm...you don't have a clip in there you fool!" She continued waving the clip at me. She then keeled over again touching her wound. "Oh dear, let me help you with that!" I quipped knealing beside her. Reaching into my pocket I grabbed a bandage and some chemicals. "Hey where did you get those?" Mileena asked, "You never told me you were a doctor!" "You never asked!" I got out some tweezers and a lighter, I proceeded to heat up the tweezers and then carefully removed the bullet. She winced in pain and a tear fell out of her eye. "Now, don't you feel lucky you've got me?" I retorted getting out some stitches and a couple of knitting colours. "Any colour preferance?" "No," She laughed, "Black's fine!" I nodded and got out some alcohol from my pocket. I poured some on my hands and then placed some on her wound, and proceeded to stitch up her wound. Finally I pulled out a needle with some fluid inside and went to inject her. "Umm what's that?" "Oh, don't worry, it's just to speed up the healing process...you know these breakthrough liquids we've had since 2007!" "Oh of course." She replied looking at the injection warily. After I had injected her I wrapped some bandages around her and stood up. Mileena has found my clip and gave it to me. "Look, here's how to grip a gun!" She showed me and I thanked her. "Well lets keep going then!" Morpheanne's post We continued exploring the basement, trying to find some weapons or anything else useful. "So, what's your name?" I asked the girl "Angela" she replied "Hey, why'd you shoot me?" I shrugged "My bad. It's hard to tell the difference. Sorry about that anyway" "That's fine. I guess" "So, what do you do for a living?" Demi asked Angela "I'm a fashion designer" she replied, smiling "You two?" "I'm a scientist" Demi replied "I'm a cop" I replied We were walking along when I quickly put an arm out and raised my gun. "Shh" I whispered "What is it?" Angela asked "Didn't you hear anything?" I asked "No" she replied "Well, I don't think we're alone..." I whisered back -------------------------------------------------------------------------- OOC: Charlie's Angels meets Resident Evil, lol. Rika_Croft's post OOC: ooh i call lucy haahah. We stood still for a moment, but there wasn't a sound. "I think you're being a bit paranoid," I said to Mileena, as i relaxed from my crouched stance. Just as Demi started to relax something fell in the nearby shadows. "What was that," Demi said, startled by the sudden noise. Mileena gripped her gun and slowly started to advance towards the shadows. "be careful," I warned. She continued forward. Demi pulled out her gun aswell, and pointed it towards the shadow. "Ummm, mabey you should put that down for now," I said looking causiosly at Demi, " You don't want to accidentaly take out the wrong person." "hahah, mabey you're right," said Demi with a nervous laugh. She pointed her gun towards the ground. OOC: wow Mileena must walk really slow if it's taking her this long to get to the shadows LOL. POV: Milenna Milenna had now reached the area where the noise had come from. She was quite far away from the other two women. She looked towards the ground and saw a rack of broken vials lying on the ground. It was impossible to tell with the lights off, but Mileena assumed that they were in the basement of some kind of hospital or labratory. POV: returns to normal There was a loud scream and the sound of a gunshot. Demi and I automaticaly turned to face the direction where Mileena had went. We ran forward, but we could see no sign of Mileena. "Sh*t," I said. " What are we going to do now!" Gasped Demi. Quote
Laraman Posted August 4, 2006 Author Report Posted August 4, 2006 Deryk's post Okay, I'm gonna jump in here, If that's alright? I hope you don't mind but I'm going to break the all girl cast... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Name: Aidan Diggs Age: 21 Gender: Male Place of origin: London, England Location: Currently in Onoarc City Occupation: College drop out Skills: Trained Rock climber, also handy with an ice pick. Bio: Aidan Diggs was an only child and something of hippy during his early teens and enjoyed rock climbing with his parents, they travelled to many places together. He had an adventrous and happy childhood. Tragedy then struck his life at the age of 18 when his Parents were killed in a freak accident on a trip back from the Appalachian mountains, Aidan suffered from a head injury and was knocked unconscious and to this day he still doesn't recall what exactly happened...Since then he has grown to be the silent brooding type, but still has an air of hippyness to him, he may come aross as being clumpsy and naive, but he has a strong sense of right and wrong and a warm heart. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- 6 hours earlier: Aidan just arrived at Onoarc City in his classic mini complete with Union Jack print on the roof. He had been driving for hours. He came to Onoarc City for a change of scenery. He had a vague memory of this place from childhood and thought it might help regain his lost memories...This was something of an obsession with Aidan, he tries desperately to remember but has no such luck. The mini pulled outside a shabby looking coffee shop named 'Jon Joe's', Aidan rolled down the window with effort because it was stiff and popped his head out " This place has character " He chuckled to himself with a grin creeping at the side of his mouth whilst exiting the small vehical. He held both his arms up in the air to stretch then started towards the door. Inside the shop was empty "Hello!?" He said aloud, "Anyone home?" he said almost in a loud whispery voice.."Hmm"..He walked to the counter and hunched over on th floor behind it was a bald fat man leaning over what looked like a young woman, the man then turned to face Aidan, his eyes were blue with a milky colour film and his mouth was dripping with blood..."Oh my God!" Aidan burst out. The man then lunged towards him...Aidan, was quick on his feet and rolled over the counter crashing on top of the woman her eyes were widened with an expression of extreme agony " Aurgh!" Aidan whimpered momentarily frozen...Beside her was a revolver pistol which he then grabbed,Aidan's eyes caught sight of a trap door just inches away from were he lay he quickly pushed himself up with his hand tucked his head to perform a roll forward into the trap door which then crashed shut after him. He landed on his back the floor felt frosty, cold and wet on his back he got back on his feet then realised he was in a freezer.. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------- Some time later: After what seemed like a lifetime I worked my way through a long passage way, A long way away from where I originally started from the basement of the restraurant. I find myself in the dark with female voices approaching from a short distance... Morpheanne's post (OOC: This is my POV from Rika's post, lol) ---------------------------------- I was leaning against the wall when I heard Angela and Demi talking. "Sh*t," Angela said. "What are we going to do now!" Gasped Demi. Then I began walking towards them, holding my side with my hands. Demi and Angela had heard my footsteps and quickly turned. Demi aimed her gun. "Hey! Hey, it's me!" I quickly said as I continued to walk to them. "Oh, I thought you were one of them then" Demi said as she lowered her gun. "Hey, you're bleeding!" Angela gasped "Yeah, I landed on those" I said pointing towards the broken vials on the ground. "So, there was one down here?" Angela asked "Yeah. Stupid thing caught me off guard. Knocked me onto the vials. So I kicked it and ran, but...man can they run!" "They climb fast too. Remember when they were chasing us up the ladder?" replied Demi "Haha. Yeah" "So...where is it now?" Angela asked "I broke his neck. Then kicked his head a few times, just in case" (LOL) Then, we heard more footsteps. "Okay, you two can't say you don't hear that" I said "Nope, we hear it" Demi replied "Hello?" came a voice. We all looked at each other with puzzled expressions. "Who is it?" asked Demi "My name's Aidan. Who are you?" "Show yourself first!" I called "Um. Okay" Aidan called back. He then came towards us, Demi and I were pointing our guns at him "Wow. Maybe I was safer back there" I lowered my gun and Demi did the same "The name's Mileena" I said to him. "I'm Demi" "And I'm Angela" Ms.Croft's post "So...what are you guys doing in a giant freezer?" Aidan asked looking at me and then to Mileena. "Well," I started after a brief silence, "we're walking away from the undead, to put it nicely!" I continued sarcastically looking away. "Right..." He replied staring about 6 inches south of my eyes. "Hey!" Mileena lifted his face up on his chin with her index and middle finger. "Ok then, let's go!" Angela kicked in walking down the path. "Not so fast," I quipped stopping her putting my hands on my hips, "we have no idea what is down there! Also, since when have you been leader?" "Hey, hey, what is wrong with you all of a sudden?" Mileena said cutting in. "Nothing, it's just...those two waltz in and expect us to trust them. I mean, come on, those things out there look nearly the same as us, speak like us, walk like us and think like us! How do we know that they aren't one of them!" "True," Angela said entering the conversation, "but vice versa with you!" "Look, guys, for now, we've just got to trust each other. Otherwise we're zombie flesh, I mean it takes one bite right?" The others nodded and Angela and Aiden started to walk down the hall. Milleena looked at me, put her hand on my shoulder and smiled. She continued down the hall also and gave something to Angela. "Just one bite......heh, not quite!" We eventually came to a large room that looked like some sort of rubbish dump or furnace. It smelt like sewage and there were two paths leading either side of us. The room was large and cylinder like going upwards about 25 metres and going downwards about 200 metres. The paths went around the perimeter of the cylinder, one going up and one going down. I could see a door up above and below there was darkness. "Well which way now?" Angela asked. "Heh, you're the leader all of a sudden, you decide!" Multiple Choice: 1. Go down the path into darkness. 2. Go up towards door. Rika_Croft's post hhhm I'm gonna have to choose path of darkness lol this should spice it up a bit. Ms.Croft's post OOC: Hmm let's see if it was a good choice! Beware though, as I've said in my first post, some of these result in death....so do choose wisely. What would of happened if you had gone up? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Let's go up the path!" Angela said with an almost triumphant look upon her face. "You're choice." I replied looking over the edge of the walkway into the darkness below. "But you must lead us!" "WHAT, I haven't even got a weapon?" She spat as she held her arms out like an upwards arch. I looked at her and began to walk towards her, I tried to seem menacing but didn't quite pull it off. This resulted in her taking a defensive stance keeping her left arm by her side and her right arm on the railing. As I got to her face I stared at her without saying anything for about 10 seconds but who was counting. Quickly I span around her and grabbed the gun hanging out of her jeans and pointed it at her. I let out a 'hmph' sound and began talking. "So, not even the one Mileena gave you a second ago!" "I...I.." She stuttered looking at Mileena and then at me becoming red in the face. " 'I...I..', get moving!" I stuttered back throwing the gun over the edge of the walkway. In a split second Angela used her right hand to somersault over the railing grabbing the gun in between her feet, she used her other hand to grab the railing also to support herself. She pulled her self over the railing releasing the gun at 90 degrees sending it flying upwards. Then she landed and grabbed the gun and pocketed it. "Let's go!" There was a hint of fake anger in her voice but her face showed true anger otherwise. I liked this girl and she showed potential. I stuck to the back of the group and followed them, Mileena looked at me as if to say, 'What is up with you?' but she didn't need to know, none of them did. We reached the door with no danger presented in our way as expected. Angela grabbed the door handle and opened the door. Without warning a large reptile like frog with sharp claws jumped out towards Angela. She dodged out of the way but it unfortunately hit Aiden square in the chest. He grabbed his chest and fell off the railing. Quickly I jumped off of the railing grabbing Aiden and the rail simulaneously. Mileena grabbed my arm and tried to haul me up. "Let go!" I asked Mileena as she replied with a look of total cluelesness. "Just let go!" I continued pleadingly. "NO, I won't let you!" She begged beginning to pull me up. "Fine!" I jerked my arm and pulled Mileena with me over the ledge, she fell over and immeadiately Angela grabbed her leg while shooting the lizard. It wasn't reacting to it and as it leapt towards her throat with its large claw she side jumped over the railing dropping Mileena setting off a chain reaction to her and then to me. We fell into the darkness and into after what seemed like forever landed in a water filled chasm. Now let's see what really happened. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Let's go down the path!" She replied with a look of triumph on her face. "Fine, that's a good choice!" I replied smiling at her. "O..kay!" Her face was of confusion and of slight relief. The other two looked reliefed also and began to walk down the path. Angela was at the back of the group, the perfect oportunity. I caught up with her and patted her on the shoulder. "Hey, I'm sorry for earlier, I didn't mean to upset you!" I said solemnly trying to be sweet and welcoming so that she would begin to trust me. "Hey that's ok! I know how it is, I mean, this isn't the perfect oportunity to meet someone new now is it!" She added a giggle to the end of her sentence. I returned the giggle and sighed. "One more niggle though...I would tell everyone about that handgun hanging out of the back of your jeans, it's better that everyone knows about stuff like that yea?" She nodded looking at her feet. "I know," She began, "but I didn't know if you would like me having one!" "Hey, what does it matter if you do or not, it's not like I make a difference!" We shared a smile and I patted her on the shoulder again. "Hey guys," Aiden had a hint of worry in his voice, "is it getting steeper or is it just me." A second after he finished that sentence we heard a loud bang upstairs, as if the door was being blown open. "Run!" Mileena looked at me as I ran past her. "Hey that's my catchphrase!" I grabbed her arms and we all began running down the path. The floor was becoming damp and I felt as if something was wrong. The floor became so steep all of a sudden we slipped and started sliding down the path. The path ended without warning into a vertical drop and we landed in a watery chasm. Rika_Croft's post OOC: Hmm i think i liked the one i picked a bit better, at least we're all safe and not arguing in a water filled chasm. lol Ms.Croft's post My head arose above the water and it was the only face that came up for ages. Mileena's came next, shortly followed by Aiden and then Angela obviously out of breath. The water was ice cold which worried me substantially, why would the water need to be kept so cold, especially under a city near a giant furnace. I looked up and couldn't see much, apart from a dark cloud blocking my view from the door we saw previously. Below me was also total darkness, the water was murky and I didn't enjoy the aspect of what could be below. "Is it me or does it smell like oil here?" The voice came from the direction of Aiden. "Does anyone have a lighter?" Mileena asked looking at each of us individually. Our heads shook in unison and we all looked back at Mileena. "Then no need to worry then is there!" "No!" Angela snipped in sounding chirpy. "No....then what about that?" I looked below me and saw what seemed like a giant alligator silhouetted under the water. The others looked down and shared my worry. Angela frantically looked around trying to find an exit but there wasn't one, the only way out was the way in. "We have to get back on the walkway somehow, it's our only chance. But how, it's at least 5 feet above us, way out of our current reach?" The others looked at me also clueless but then I saw a glint in Aiden's eyes. "What idea do you have?" Before he could answer four gunshots followed by a squeal rippled through the air above us. A figure appeared above me, it was green and scaley. "Incoming!" The other looked above them and swam out of the way to avoid the modified hunter. It landed directly in the middle of the putrid pool and something below us suddenly jerked. "Ohhh, s**t!" Mileena cursed as the silhouette turned into a clear half crocodile/pirrahna. It swallowed the modified hunter whole and dissapeared beneath the water once again. "Ok," I started decreasing the tone of my voice, "It seems to respond to sudden movements in the water, let's just stay still until it gets," "HEY!" I looked above me and could see a faint red blur, "TAKE THIS!" An small rhombus shaped object came gliding towards us, but unfortunately got stuck on the grates gaps. "It's a lighter!" Angela chirpped looking at the wave of hope. "Thank you!" But they were gone, as fast as they had came. "Right!" I was startled by the sudden voice from Aiden. "Let's get up there!" He brandished a rope with a grappling anchor attatched to the top. I smiled and stayed dead still. Deryk's post I slowly held my index finger towards my lips as if to make a shhh sound, " It's impossible to swing this thing without making too much movement " I whispered. I then hooped the rope across my shoulder over my head as quietly as possible, holding the grapple anchor in my right hand from the base. I turned to face the wall, luckily there was a plentyful amount of handholds in the wall. Placing my left hand on the highest one I could see, I pulled myself up pushing my feet against the wall for balance. It was difficult to this stealthfully, water dripped off of me as I emerged. I looked down at the girls caustiously " Sorry!" I whispered loudly with eyes widened, arched eyebrows. The three girls with their heads bobbing from the water had their eyes clenched shut as if expecting a sudden reaction...Nothing happened, I then realised that that 'THING' must only be sensitive to larger movements in the water. I raised my right arm to strike at the wall using the grapple hook as an ice pick, continued doing so till I reached the ledge with the grates that had the oil lighter wedged in a gap. Quickly as I could I pulled myself up and fixed the grapple on to the railings and pulled the lighter out of the gap. I threw the rope down which let a whoosh sound. The girls below cheered quietly with a sense of relief. Looking at the lighter I retrieved I was about to light it, flicked the the top of it..just then I thought it best not to light it just yet remembering the whiff of oil I detected just a short while ago. I saw the rope move " Here let me help you!" I called out and began to pull all three girls up at once. Lucky for me that all three are of a slender build.. Demi was the first to ascend out of the three girls then Angela and finally mileena. "Are you girls okay?" I asked "Yes, we're fine" Demi answered "No, that water is freakin' freezing! And can you imagine what it's doing for my hair?!" Angela blurted out "She's fine" Mileena said sarcastically. "Hey, where did the rope come from anyway?" Demi asked "Yeah, where did it come from?" Mileena questioned in a typical policing way. " It's the strangest thing, It was already down there! Almost as if someone knew we'd need it" I replied suspiciously. "You guys!, That woman" Angela suddenly said in a loud voice "The one that threw the lighter, it had to been her, at least I think it was a woman". (OOC: Mysterious figure in red? A grapple hook?...Hmm I wonder who it could be? lol) Quote
Laraman Posted August 4, 2006 Author Report Posted August 4, 2006 Ms.Croft's post (OoC: I never said they gave you the grapple hook, you did..using my character lol. All I said they gave you was a lighter.) "What are you waiting for?" I asked as I clung to the gaps in the walkway to support myself. After all, we were still on a very steep slope. "Throw the lighter in and toast it, I don't want that thing turning into a wall crawler any time soon!" Aiden looked at me, then to the water and finally to the lighter in his hand. "I'm waiting until we get a bit higher. Who knows what happens when you throw a lighter into oil?" I sighed and nodded. "Ok, then let's move quickly!" The upward struggle was taxing on my limbs and it looked like the others were tiring too, apart from Aiden. He climbed the walkway with grace and stood up well before any of us were at the level he was at. Eventually I balanced myself and stood up, shortly after Angela and Mileena balanced themselves too. Aiden nodded at me and I nodded back. "As soon as I throw it we run, ok?" I nodded and assumed the other girls did too. Aiden lifted the lighter's lid and let the flame flicker into creation and after counting silent numbers he threw it over the edge. "NOW!" The voice shook the monster beneath us and he suddenly became aware of our presence, and the danger becoming him. The monster never left my eyesight as we ran up the circular walkway approaching the door 150 metres above us. The lighter went out suddenly mid air as it spun towards the oil. "No!" Stopping suddenly while grabbing the railings, I watched the lighter fall lifelessly. Mileena appeared next to me and watched with me also. "darn!" She muttered under her breath. "I still have a straw up my sleeve!" "Trick!" "Whatever," She replied sarcastically as she reached for her gun attatching a laser sight to the top of it. Her hand was steady and in a split second she pulled the trigger. The bullet connected with the gun and all of a sudden the monster came exploding out of the water ironicallhy just as the oil exploded. The fire chased the monster up the wall towards us quicker than I could of expected. A figure grabbed my wrist and dragged me up the path, and unknown to me my legs followed it. The oil soaked reptile wasn't fast enough and screeched as it became engulfed in the fire. Snapping back to reality I looked up towards the door. It was 10 metres away now and our luck was looking better. "Come on, come on!" Repeated Angela ahead of me going through the door ahead . Aiden stood to the left fo the door and ushered me and Mileena in. He followed shortly after and slammed the door behind him. The room we entered into echoed and shook some glass above us. The fire abviously died out before reaching the door as nothing happened. "Thank...God....for...that!" Angela panted grabbing her kneecaps with her gun in one hand. "Where are we?" Mileena asked looking at me. "Luckily for you, I know!" I smiled walking down the mirror filled hall. "If you feel sick, that's natural, as the mirrors are ment to create that effect. Do not ask me why, as I do not know!" "Oh," Angela said grabbing her stomach, "I was just going to ask." I smiled and continued with my tour. "This, my new found friends, is the underneath of the Reumball Corporation! The sewar and waste disposal, if you will!" I ended my sentence presenting my arms out to the hall as if to make it seem important. "Now," I continued reaching another mirror with a keypad next to it. "Welcome to the Reumball Corporation, where our business, is life itself!" Finally I pressed the roman numerals and the mirror slid up welcoming the group into a mansion type foyer. Deryk's post We entered the foyer at a slow walking pace Angela, Mileena and I inspected the grand decor in awe. " Isn't this a bit elaborate for a pharmaceutical Corp" I asked. Demi didn't answer she just looked at me with a pleasant smile, but that somehow made feel slightly uneasy this place seemed out of place amongst everything that has happened so far, I can't relax yet. I looked over at Mileena who also seemed a little uneasy. " Right, we're here now. What next?" Milleena said in a stern voice "This place is beautiful, Can't we...." "No, there's no rest for the wicked" Mileena said interrupting Angela. " Of course, you're right, how can we be sure that this place is safe?" Angela said with her eyes following Demi who was about to climb a set of stairs. Demi suddenly stopped on the first step "That's a good question" she said looking up the stairs before she proceeded in further. She swiftly changed direction on the ball of her foot 180 degress and made her way to a small table in the middle of the foyer. On the table a computer monitor was set in it, its one of those touch screen ones, she entered a number combinations which then called up a holographic schematic of the facility. " Wow, impressive..what are you looking for?" I asked watching her fiddle some more with the device. " Abnormalities in the security system"..she replied without looking away from the monitor " Do you see any?"...Suddenly red dots began to appear on the floating schematic " unfortunately, yes " she said trying to keep cool. "WHAT?!" Angela yelled. "Oh, you gotta be kidding me!" I said drawing the revolver I had tucked in the back of my belt. Just then a deep growling sound came from above us... Morpheanne's post Instantly, we all looked up towards the ceiling, where a huge, deformed looking creature had it's claws buried deep into the roof, and was beginning to drool. Gross. "What in hell is that?" I said, quickly aiming my gun towards it. "I have no idea" came Aidan's voice. "Well, whatever it is. It does not look friendly" Angela replied. "Should we run?'' I asked Demi "I think we should" I added. "Good idea" she replied "Follow me". Angela and Demi went up the stairs. Aidan and I were right behind, squeezing a few shots off into the creature. Demi quickly ran to a door and punched in a security code and stepped inside. "You two! Hurry!" she yelled. Aidan and I quickly ran through the door just as it started closing, then there was a large dent in the metal door. "Something tells me that won't hold long" I said. "Yeah, so much for 'nobody'll get through that'" Demi muttered. "So, what do we do now?" Aidan asked. Rika_Croft's post "Well we're not going back out there," I said. "Yeah, we should probably head down this hallway," said Demi, "I'm pretty sure there's a kitchen down here somewhere." "Thank god," said Aidan, " I'm starving" "hmmm," I contemplated, " kitchen's have knives, knives are good for killing monsters with. Okay lets go!" "Sounds good to me," said Mileena. "Alrighty, kitchen it is then." Demi started to lead the group down the dark hallway. "Is is just me, or can you guys smell something too?" I asked. " No i smell it too," said Aidan. "What do you think it is?" Demi asked. We all turned to Mileena to see what she had to say on the matter, when we saw a horrified look on her face. "I know that smell," she said, " It's rotting flesh." Ms.Croft's post "How do you know the smell of rotten flesh?" I asked with a giggle. "I'm a police officer. I have to visit morgs every now and again." She replied smiling. "Don't mean to interupt the conversation," Angela interupted looking concerned, " but rotting flesh? A zombie must be close by!" Her voice ended urgently. "Calm down, there's obviousy something wrong...or right. I mean, these zombies are a tad different than the ones in Raccoon city and they're not dead, just different. Which means..." "Which means that whatever smells of rotten flesh is dead, not alive!" Mileena said ending my sentence for me. "Exactly!" I finished triumphantly. "Oh, I get it....hey where's Aiden!" The three of us looked around for any sign of him but he had obviously entered the kitchen by himself. "Holy s***, what is that!?" The voice came from the kitchen, we all ran down the stairs and entered the room as fast as possible. "My God, Vince!" I whimpered crouching to the floor next to the body. "I had no idea, why, why did you do it!" "What are you talking about?" Aiden's voice came bursting through my eardrum piercing my brain. "I, I'd like a moment alone, would you mind?" I looked to Mileena. "Sure." She dissapeared up the stairs, taking Aiden and Angela with her. Deryk's post " Will she be okay down there on her own?" I asked with concern "She'll be okay, she clearly was close to that man. We should allow her a few minutes alone. We can't afford any longer then that." said Mileena. I turned to face Angela who seemed rather quiet she hadn't spoke since seeing the corpse in the kitchen. "Hey Angela, are you all right?" I asked placing my hand gently on her shoulder. I startled her causing her to jump slightly. " Man, I was miles away" Angela said shaking her head like she was snaping out of a day dream.."You're gonna be okay" I said to her reassuring her. " Try to keep focused, Angela. And Aidan try keep it tight I don't want you wandering off again." Mileena said whilst reloading bullets into a magazine clip. " Mileena, you're a cop, what can you tell us about that body in there? I mean, what was his cause of death?" I asked. " Well, his wounds look as though they weren't bites or claw marks, they were much to clean. My guess is he was murdered violently, using some kind of sharp instrument..." " Good grieve!, what the hell happened here?!" I said incredulously. Morpheanne's post "I dunno" I replied as I put my back against the wall, and looked towards the ceiling. Demi came up a couple of minutes later, she was clearly wiping a tear from her eye. "Hey" I said to her "You okay?". Deryk's post Demi composed herself, stood up straight with her shoulders back and held her head up high, desperately trying to suppress her emotion. " I'm fine!"..She replied almost angrily. "We should get moving we don't have time to waste!" she barged by me knocking her shoulder against mine. She walked on ahead of us as we followed. "She isn't taking this too well, is she?" I said quietly to the other two girls " You think?" Angela said sarcastically " who does she think she is barging by you like that?" " It's okay, really..I understand whats she's going through, I know what it's like losing some one I care about all too well" I explained. " I don't know, I think she's hiding something..what did she mean when she said "why did you do it?" to Vince?" " I think it time to ask her a few questions" Mileena said. Ms.Croft's post I stopped dead in my tracks and placed my hands on my hips. Slowly I turned around and faced the group. "Well," I started, "Are you coming?" Mileena nodded and walked forwards, turning slightly to wave the rest to follow. I heard quick footsteps coming towards me. Eventually a face appeared; it was Angela's. "So, where are we going?" "Wherever the building takes us." My tone was flat and lacked any joy. "Oh, so where exactly are we?" Her questions were beginning to grate on my mind, so I sighed and continued to look forward. "In the Onoarc building." I knew she was going to ask another question so I interupted her quickly, "This is the basement, and here is where all the employees go to relax, or generally live. We go here to eat, shower and entertain. Some of us even lived here because it was easier, plus the basement isn't too shabby." "Right...what did you mean by..we? Are you a scientist here, I mean, I knew you were a scientist. But I didn't know it was here." I closed my eyes and breathed slowly. "Yes, but that's for another time," I stopped briefly as we entered the foyer once more. "For now, we have to get into the main building by going there." I pointed to a large double door with a keypad next to it. "What is it?" Aiden interupted looking at the keypad splattered in blood. "How about opening it for us, the code is 18-1-3-3-15-15-14. Go ahead, it's an elevator and it will take us up!" Multiple Choice: 1. Listen to Demi 2. Force her to do it 3. Ask Angela 4. Ask Mileena Quote
Laraman Posted August 4, 2006 Author Report Posted August 4, 2006 Deryk's post (OCC: I was just wondering if this RPG is still living? I've just read through it and realised we had something really quite compelling here, IMO So, I guess I'll pick it up from where we are so far....?? ) Occ: I choose to listen to Demi and enter the code. "Sure, okay, I'll enter the code, but be alert...There's no telling what's behind this door" I said with nervous laughter. I approached the blood splattered keypad "Ergh, that's nasty" went to enter the code using my finger stopped then turn to face Angela who was watching with a sort of rather-you-than-me look on her face I returned that look with a grimace. I shook my head then decided not to use my bare hand, instead I drew my gun from my belt and opted to punched in the code using the barrel of my revolver. There was a silent pause as we all prepared ourselves. The door made a hissing sound then push back and finally parted open.. Morpheanne's post Nothing... It was completely empty... We all stepped in, one by one. "Where should we go, Demi? You know your way around the building" I asked her. "My office. It's on the 13th floor..." Demi said as she pressed the button for the 13th floor. "That's unlucky..." interrupted Angela "For some..." I replied with a grin "My office number is 667" Demi added "Ah. The Devil's neighbour" I replied, once again with a smirk. We heard a small ding come from the elevator speaker. Meaning we had reached the 13th floor. We held our guns at the ready as the doors began to slide open... (THE RPG LIVES!!! WHOOO!!!) Ms.Croft's post "Surely you mean 666? Well, anyway, I don't believe in superstition..it's all ways to control people's lifes! I follow my own route, not anyone else's!" The others looked at me with a "Oooo--kay!" kind of look. I pressed the blood-splattered 13--the only blood splattered button-- which glew a faint yellow under the claret. The rest of the team were extremely still next to me, I could even detect their nervous hearts. Several moans of the dead came, and went as we passed each floor. "10," Angela started, "11...12...13...14!!" The lift had continued to move past the floor we were designated too. It stopped at 14, but the door didn't open. "What's going on?!" Mileena asked, pressing the buttons frantically. "Let's try to pry open the doors!" Aiden said; placing his fingers into the gaps. I nodded, and waved the others to help. I joined Aidan's side, and Mileena with--a very nervous--Angela joined the other. "On 3," Aiden begun. "3...2...1!!" We each pulled as hard as we could but nothing happened. "OH it's USELESS!" Angela said, throwing her hands into the air. "This is never going to work, we're going to die.." A sudden bang hit the elevator doors, and we were all thrown back from the blast. Upon examining the door, I found that it had been dented by something very strong, and large. Another bang came shortly after, and the dent became bigger. I withdrew my gun along with the others. We had backed outselves against the elavator's rear wall. "Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God." Angela muttered under her breath, while holding her gun very shakily. Without warning the elevator began to move downwards. Stunned by the sudden shock, Angela had pulled the trigger, creating a hold shaped dent in the door. The elevator reached 13, and the doors opened into a hallway. Whatever that thing was, it was now directly above us. (OOC: Morph, you psychic, that was going to be the result anyway lol! Well done. Also, I've placed some very subtle/noticeable clues around. If you have them figured, then feel free to tell the other characters.) Morpheanne's post "Well...that was unexpected..." I said slowly as we stepped out of the elevator "Oh, by the way Demi - 666 is the Devil's number, 667 is his neighbour. Haha. But you're right - it is just silly superstition" I said with a laugh. "Forget the Devil numbers! What the hell was that above us?" Angela shrieked, looking towards Aiden. "Hey, don't look at me!" he replied, holding his hands in the air. "I'm not sure what it was either..." replied Demi "Unless...no, it couldn't have..." she mumbled as she began taking a few steps forward "Come on. It's this way". "Right behind you" I replied "Come on you guys" I said to the others as Demi and I began walking, with our guns at the ready. Deryk's post "What's so important in your office? is it going to get us out of this mess, Demi ?!" I bursted out. Mileena and Demi slowly turned to face Angela and I. I continued "I mean, we were just attacked and almost ripped to shreds by KING KONG!!...Well, it seemed like it was bloody king kong judging by those dents!" At that moment the lights began to flicker and a loud crashing noise was heard coming from behind us. We all turn to to see what the ruckus was it came from inside the elevator. " Dammit, me and my big mouth" I said walking backwards with my eyes on the elevator door then quickly turn to run grabbing Angela by the wrist.."C'mon, Angela..move it!" I cried out in a war cry. Just then the heavy metal doors was blasted from the elevator with tremendous force landing where Angela and I were standed just a split second ago...I didn't want to look at the monstrous abomination..All that mattered is that we got well clear of it. Demi and Mileena began running ahead of us... Ms.Croft's post "Well, at least it can't be that big if it can fit in an elevator!!" I shouted, as the monstrosity ran behind us. "You know what it is right? After all you were the one who helped create it right?!" Mileena said running beside me. "No," I panted, "I know the monsters I've created, but there are quite a few that big!!" I turned a corner, towards my office. The door was straight ahead, 20 feet away. "Come on Aidan, move faster!" I lurched towards the handle, and twisted it. To my surprise--and everyone's horror--the door was locked, with a keypad beside it. "DARN! I forgot about that!" "You know the pass right?!" Mileena said, looking towards me for any good sign. "I...I think." "You think!?" Angela screamed, running towards us with Aiden. "Give me a second!" "We don't have a second!" Aiden said, looking towards the hall, waiting for the monster. I looked towards the bloodstained keypads, and tried to remember it. I pressed 2-4-5 but nothing happened. "It had something to do with Half Life 2, a number that Alyx always entered on every keypad she came across. The rest looked at me with shocked expressions. I heard the monstor around the corner, and various cries of, "I can't look!", "Withdraw your weapon!!". After several seconds of frustrated memory searching, I punched the wall in anger. "It's okay!" Mileena said, touching my shoulder. "The only thing we can do now is shoot!" I nodded, and withdrew my weapon. As I turned to point towards the monster, a red falling object came into view. As the object landed, it began shooting at the monster with a fully loaded Riot gun. It recoiled in terror, and began backing off. This woman had appeared again, she was dressed in a long red dress, with high heels. Her hair was long, and dark, much like mine. Without even looking back, she pursued the monster around the corner. "Who is she?!" Aidan asked looking at me. "I...I have no idea!" I replied, mystified. "She looks about 35, if that's any help!" Angela said, looking down the hall. "Yes! It does help!" I turned around, and pressed 1-3-5 on the keypad. The light turned green, and a click was heard by everyone. Morpheanne's post "Quickly, everyone come in" Demi said as the door opened. We all went in and fell on the floor in a heap. "I'm exhausted!" Angela complained. "Well, I guess we can rest in here for a bit" I replied getting up "What's in here that'll help us out, Demi?" I asked, walking over to her while she fiddled with the computer at the desk. Deryk's post Demi had a frustrated look on her face typing away at her keyboard, she slammed her fist on the desk "GODDAMMIT!" she yelled out. " What is it?" Mileena asked "Some sorry son-of-a-b**ch has tampered with the outside connection, I can't contact any help from here" Demi explained "What?! what are we suppose to do now?" Mileena replied as she walked over to the desk. " Here, let me try" Mileena said nudging Demi off her seat. " Hey! What do you think you're doing? these aren't your everyday average computers, y'know" Demi said. "I certainly hope you know what you're doing" " Relax, I know a thing or two about computers" Mileena began typing furiously Demi watched in surprise. "AH HA!" Mileena exclaimed giving Demi a fright "I knew it!, someone deliberately cut off your connection from inside this building". "What?! How can that be? who would do this?..." Demi said incredulously letting her gaze down at her feet.."I don't understand.." she mumbled. "Gees, Mileena, where did you learn to do that?" I asked "I attended a very elite military school" She replied whilst looking up from the desk with a proud smirk on her face. "Uh huh, Yeah, yeah..This is all very impressive..But what the freakin' hell do we do now?!" Angela said with an annoyed impatient look on her face.."There has to be something in here that can help us other than that" she said pointing at the computer. I looked at Angela grinning at her and straightforward attitude. "Y'know, She does have a point". "Not long now, just gimme a few seconds, I need to track down the whereabout of this interference..." Mileena said sounding occupied. I drew my revolver opened the chamber and emptied out the used bullets "Well, I guess I'm totally spent" I said with a sigh. The sound of the empty casing hitting the floor woke Demi out of a daze, "Oh, I almost forgot the second reason why we're here" Demi said as she made her way to a metal cabinet and slid the sliding door out of the way to reveal a hidden weapon's storage with yet another delightful keypad.."Now, I think the number is..." Before Demi finished her sentence I quickly walked to the keypad and began kicking it, pushing my heel in as it struck the keypad causing it to spark and frazzle.The girls looked at me in shock even Mileena stopped what she was doing. The door then slowly opened allowing us access to a generous amount of ammo..I pocketed some magnum rounds and turned to Mileena "I bet they never taught you that in Military school" I said with a cheeky smirk. Mileena rolled her eyes.."YES!! I found it!" Mileena threw her fist in the air triumphently. She turned the monitor to Demi "Do you know where this is?" She said pointing at the screen. Ms.Croft's post I walked across to the computer, and looked towards the screen. "NO, no way are we going THAT way! It's a deathtrap! I mean, we would die!" Demi realized her nametag was on the desk near Mileena. She suddenly grabbed it, and threw it into her desk drawer, locking it. "What...was that about?! What did you throw in there?" Mileena asked with a terrifying look. "Just my nametag...I can't bear to see my name anymore...not after...." "After what?" Angela said approaching me, with a look of fire. "Nothing....OK! To get out of here, we have to take the underground train to the underground headquarters we have here. From there, we go through the lab, and onto another train. This train will take us out of the city, and to Reumball's old base, which is on the outskirts of Onoarc City. From Reumball's old base, we take an aeroplane as far away as possible, to wherever we can...and escape! Only problem is.....this place is not barricaded so zombies are slowly spreading throughout America. So let's hope that no one on a plane to another country is infected! Got it? Good!" I strolled past them, and grabbed a lasersight handgun, and a magnum from the case. I made sure I had plenty of ammo on me, and then walked out of the door. "There's a shotgun, and rifle in there....one of you take what you want, and the others take the rest!" I turned the corner, and walked to the elevator. I pressed the call button, but got the wrong response. "ATTENTION: Elevator is out of service, please use the emergency stairs situated at the other side of the building! Thank you!" "darn it! There could be hundreds of zombies there..and that thing!" I punched the door to the elevator, and collapsed to the floor. "We're never going to make it out!" Jordan a.k.a. W1P30UT's post Hey, could I sorta go my own way in this then meet up with your characters? And what happened to Racoon City? LoL jackofspade's post hey was wondering if i could join the rp too. looks pretty cool. im a bit of an RE buff Ms.Croft's post Yeah, that's fine Jordon, and sure you can join Spades! MsC Morpheanne's post OOC: Welcome Jordan and Jack. "Well, I dunno about you guys, but I call that shotgun" I said as I grabbed the shotgun and stuffed a bag with every shell I could before quickly following Demi. When I rounded the corner to the elevator I saw her sitting on the floor with her head in hands. "Demi, what's wrong?" I asked Quote
Laraman Posted August 9, 2006 Author Report Posted August 9, 2006 Ms.Croft's post "Nothing! But, like I said, we're going to have to get to the basement! Unfortunately, the only way to the basement is via the emergency stairs at the other side. Which means, we could meet a lot of hell along the way. Especially that...thing." "Speaking of which," Mileena started, as I picked myself up. "Where is it? And why are there no blood marks on the floor, or any sign of trauma?" "Who cares," Aidan said, closing in with Angela hot on his heels. "Let's just get out of her A.S.A.P!" "Best idea I've heard all day!" Angela said, looking at us all. "Demi, would you care to lead the way?" I nodded, and walked past her towards the stairs at the otherside. The route there was painless, and quiet. I opened the door, but my ease was soon knocked out of me. "OH you have GOT to be kidding me!" I screamed as I watched the stairs in front of me, engulfed in flames. Half of the stairway wasn't even there. "What now?" Mileena asked. "Any Ideas?" I asked back. "I've got 2!" She replied. Multiple Choice @ Mileena: 1. Use the grapple hook to lower each member, but leave one member at top of stairs, forced to find their own route. 2. Tell everyone to try and jump, and traverse your way down. (Important note: This one is extremely important, and I need to unfold the events. Thanks) Morpheanne's post Ooohh, umm, ahhh....I think 1 is probably safest for all, but the second is tempting...Oh, number 1... I'll glady jump as the last person... Ms.Croft's post (OOC: He he, it's not your choice lol, let's see what would have happened if you chose number 2) "Let's try to jump, and make our way down that way!" Mileena suggested. I could sense some doubt in her voice though. "Ok then, it's your choice!" I said back, looking down the large gap. "Who would like to go first?" "I'll go first!" Aidan said, "If I can get to the otherside, I can outstretch a hand to help you ladies." Me, and Mileena looked at each other with smirks. "Sure, go ahead!" I replied. He nodded, and walked towards the door. Then he paced backwards 5 steps, and breathed heavily. "Ok...here..I..go." He stood there for a long time. "Ok then...go!!" I replied. "Umm...ok..." He looked at me with doubt in his eyes, and I looked back with confidence. His face changed quickly, and mimicked my look of confidence. His feet moved faster, and faster towards the door until before I knew it, his figure had disappeared down the hall. "Oh my God!!" Angela shouted, running towards the door. "Oh yes, I'm so glad you're safe!" I smiled, and joined Angela at the door, and sure enough, there was Aidan safe and sound. "Ok! Who's next?" Aidan shouted up to us through the flames. "That's me!" Mileena said, running towards the door. She leapt through it, forcing me and Angela to move aside. When I looked back, Mileena too was safe, and had also forced Aidan to move. "Me or you next?" I asked looking towards Angela. "You!! Definately you!" I smiled, and backed away from the door. When I felt I was far enough away, I looked back towards the flame covered door. "See you there Angela!" I said, running towards the door. As I reached the point of no return, I leapt with all my strength towards Mileena. She was forced to move out of the way. I landed safely, and hit the wall with my shoulder. Wincing in pain, I looked at Mileen. "Hey...how are you?" She smiled back, and looked back towards the door. "Ok Angela, your turn!!" Aidan got up, and walked in front of me to the edge of the gap. "I'll catch you if you don't quite make it, he reassured her. She nodded back, and disappeared backwards. "Well this is going to be.." My words were cut off by the sudden appearance--and scream-- of Angela leaping through the air. "She didn't take enough steps back!!" I shouted to Aidan, as he outstetched his hand. Luckily he caught her, but the force of gravity, and her weight brought him plummeting down. His body began to slide off of the stair ledge. I side jumped, and caught his right leg. This sent him into the wall, and weakened his grip on Angela. "MILEENA HELP!" She snapped back to reality, and grabbed his other leg. With our full strength, me and Mileena pulled Aidan, and Angela to safety. "Oh thank Zeus for that!" I said, wiping my brow. "Hey Mileena, where's your shotgun?" She looked to where she had left it, and closed her eyes in aggravation. It had fell into the flames, lost for good. "Ah well...let's get moving!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Aidan, your grapple hook!" Aidan looked towards Mileena, grabbing it out of his backpack. "Let's use it to lower each person!" "Great idea!" He said smiling to her. "Good idea," I started, "It would be great if we all could get down there safely!" "What do you mean?" Angela said looking at me with hands on hips. "Whoever lowers each person is going to be left at the top by themselves, with no way down!" Aidan's smile dropped, and he sighed. "So." Everyone turned to Mileena. "I'll lower you all, after all, I am the one with the shotgun!" "Mileena no!" Angela ran up to her with a look of sorrow. Mileena just looked at her, and patted her on the shoulder. "I'll be fine...now let's go! Time's a wasting!" She grabbed the grapple hook out of Aidan's hands, and walked towards the door. "Who's first?" "I'll go first!" Aidan said, "If there's danger down there, it might as well be me!" Mileena nodded, and held out the hook for him to hold on to. He grabbed it, and like a professional mountain climber, began to back off the edge. When he was horizontal he nodded to Mileena. She pressed the button, and he began to descend slowly. "Ok, your turn!" Mileena looked at me, after lowering both Aidan, and Angela safely. "No," I replied, "Your turn!" "What?! No way, it was decided that I'd do it!!" Her face became contorted. "Yes, but I have access codes, and cards to reach the bottom, you however do not!" She sighed. "Fine, but you had better come meet us soon!" I smiled at her. "No doubt about it!" I grabbed the hook, and offered the hook to her. She clutched it with one hand, and backed towards the edge. "See you later!!" I released the grip, and lowered her to the floor. When she landed, her head turned towards mine. She looked worried. "Demi..." She muttered. "It's ok!! I'm not leaving you!!" She nodded in response, and led the others away from my site. Sighing, I turned back to the elevator's direction, and walked off. ~.~ "Yes, here they are!" I muttered, as the group of girls, and one boy headed my way. Slowly I stepped around the corner, and looked towards them. "Hello ladies, and of course man." "It's you!!" The man said to me. "We've seen you around..were you the one that gave us the lighter...and who defended us from that monster!" "Yes, yes...and yes!" "Who are you?" The woman with the shotgun said, taking a step towards me. "Why, I'm Ada Wong...nice to meet you! Say, where is the...other...one." "If you're talking about Demi, then she's back up there! She sacrificed herself to help us!" "Yes...sacrificed. You people are so naïve. She created the virus, sent it out to the world, and infected every one in this town! And before your next question, I was sent here to stop it!" There faces dropped. The shy one looked at me, and became aggresive. "Demi wouldn't do that! You're LYING!" "Fine fine...I am your only chance to get out of here, if you would like to follow me--and I strongly advice you do!" I slung my shotgun over my shoulder, and walked off down the hall. ~Bio~ Name: Ada Wong Age: ?? All other details classified. Deryk's post "Oi! wait a minute, Ada Wong" I shouted above the sound of fire crackling and debris falling "And just who did send you here? eh?...And do you even know where we're heading?" I asked. "Before we got seperated from Demi she told us of an escape route and that's where we're heading" I looked at Ada with a menacing look. "Thanks for your help and all, but we're sticking to our plan..Are you with me?" I asked looking toward Mileena and Angela. "I'm not going until I hear from Demi" Mileena said. " Ditto" Angela replied agreeingly. "You're a fool, if you think you can get out of that underground alive. It's crawling with those....Things!" Ada said with her back turned to us. The stair well was quicky becoming dangerous for us to stay there any longer. Ada was fully aware of this, She was playing a game with us..Waiting to see how long it'll take for us to deviate from our plan and follow her. Quote
Ms.Croft Posted August 10, 2006 Report Posted August 10, 2006 "You guys coming...or am I going to have to force you!" I said, turning around, and narrowing my eyes at them. The apparent leader stepped forward, and looked at me. "Fine, but prove it first!!" With a sigh, I withdrew my handgun, and aimed it at the group. Then I pulled the trigger. After a few seconds of disbelief, the youngest one stepped forward too with her hands on her hips. "You trying to get us KILLED, that one almost hit me!" I sighed again, and looked to her left slightly. "Look behind you." The girl did, and saw a man standing there in a scientist outfit. He had a labcoat on, and a was brandishing a machete. The girl gasped, and stepped backwards away from the monster. Luckily for her, the monster had a hole between it's eyes, where I had hit it. It stumbled forward, and then teetered backwards, falling over. "Now..would Demi have done something like that for you?" Quote
Morph Posted August 13, 2006 Report Posted August 13, 2006 "Ah. Hmm, nice shot" I said to the woman "I don't know though. I don't want to leave without Demi". "Think about it" The woman said, and I looked at her "Do you truly know Demi?" "No, I guess not...but I don't know you either. None of us really know each other" "Oh, for the love of...." The woman said. "What do you guys wanna do. I'm not leaving without Demi" I said, turning to the rest of the group. Quote
Rika_Croft Posted August 14, 2006 Report Posted August 14, 2006 (edited) "I don't care how good of a shot you are," I said, "I'm positive that Demi would have done the same, or at least told me so that I could have moved out of the way I'm looking for Demi and thats that." "Well, if you want to die be my guests," replied Ada, "But there is still one member of your team that hasn't made a decision; Aidan, will you come with me or stay here and die?" Mileena and I turned to Aidan. "What is your decision Aidan?" Mileena asked, a look of hope in her eyes. "You can't possibly think of leaving us and Demi here?" I asked Aidan.

Ms.Croft Posted August 14, 2006 Report Posted August 14, 2006 (edited) "Look," I turned to them holding out my hand, "She won't be back for a while. I've checked out the blueprints. The only way she can get here is by taking the elevator to the 12th floor. Considering that it isn't working, she's going to have a hard time!" They all looked at me as if to say 'Darn, she's right'. The one called 'Aidan' walked up to me. "Ok. But how do we know you aren't going to turn on us?" I sighed again, and put my hand to my forehead. "Need I remind you, that I saved your lives twice?" "Fine! Then how are we getting out of here?" He replied. "Oh, I dunno. How about Demi's plan? Taking the train, to the lab, then to old Reumball?" Angela said. I looked at her, and began to walk to her, with my shotgun slung over my shoulder. I then leant forward so that my face was parallel to hers. "Great idea." I whispered, turning on my heel, so that I could walk towards the train station. Edited August 14, 2006 by Ms.Croft Quote
Rika_Croft Posted August 15, 2006 Report Posted August 15, 2006 "What the hell was all that about," Angela whispered as Ada took the lead. "OOH I think she likes you," lauged Mileena. Angela crossed her arms and pouted. "I'm not into girls," she said, "If only there was a really hot, not zombie like, guy around here," she said daydreaming. "AAAHHHEEMM," Aiden said angrily. "HAHAH," laughed Angela, " Sorry about that." Quote
jackofspades Posted August 15, 2006 Report Posted August 15, 2006 (edited) Name: Etienne Soryu Age: appears 21 Skill. chemestry, biology, basic first aid and linguistics. Discription: tall, slim, attractive. half french, half japanese. Scientist working for a french cosmetics company called Peau. Etienne raised his pistol to Olivers head and pulled the trigger, spraying tissue acrosss the labs white walls. He was sad to be sure but rather now than wait till his friend was hungry. he straightened his clothes and tucked his black hair behind his ears. time to get out of here. pistol in one hand crowbar in the other, he'd be ready for the mosters. the fire he started in the stair well would keep the creature upstairs for now, well apart from the one that bit Oli, but they'd find a way down soon enough. he steped out of the lab and made his way down yet another clinical corridor. this place was like a maze. he was getting closer to fire, could feel the heat on his perfect skin, didnt want to get to close to that! he was just turning to go back when he herd voices and footsteps in the distance. people were appoaching, he pointed his gun foward and fired. The sound of a bullet hitting concrette told him he missed, "damn!". No swear words allowed, in any language.Thanks!~~BPanther Edited August 15, 2006 by BPanther Quote
Rika_Croft Posted August 16, 2006 Report Posted August 16, 2006 The group was just walking a laughing, Ada in the lead prefering to remain to herself, when they heard the unmistakable found of a bullet hitting concreate. "A bullet?" asked Aidan. "That must mean there's someone else down here, maybe it's Demi!" cried Angela, "Demi it's okay, it's us!" "Shhhhhhhh," Mileena sushed her up, "Demi know we're down here, she wouldn't be shooting at the sound of voices." "Unless she thought we were zombies," reasoned Angela as she ran in the direction of the gun shot. "Idiot," cried Ada as she ran after Angela, "She's gonna get herself killed." Quote
jackofspades Posted August 16, 2006 Report Posted August 16, 2006 Ada ran after Angela as I followed..I ran past Ada turned the corner and found Angela lay on the floor motionless. My gaze moved aross the floor to a pair of black shoes looking further up I realise it was no one we knew..It was a male! holding a crowbar and a handgun. "And just who the HELL are you?!" I yelled at the stranger. "Argh!, my head. Hey! why did you hit me?!." Angela moaned. I knelt down to help Angela to her feet as we both stood I quickly turned to the man and trained my revolver at him.."What are you playing at?!" "What?..why are you here?!".He replaid with his french accent.." You are not scientist..how did you manage to get in to the facility?"...He Asked with a raised eyebrow. At that moment Ada stepped from the corner and began staring at the young man. " Another survivor, huh?...This is getting interesting. Quote
Rika_Croft Posted August 16, 2006 Report Posted August 16, 2006 (edited) "What happened?" asked Angela putting a hand to her head, "Ahh my head hurts." "Who are you?" she asked motioning to the man with the crowbar. OOC: okies is etienne the man with the crowbar, or the one with the revolver? cuz you voiced one person in first person, and I'm not sure who the second guy with the french accent is. Edited August 18, 2006 by Rika_Croft Quote
Deryk Posted August 17, 2006 Report Posted August 17, 2006 OOC: Right, let me explain. Etienne's last post was supposed to be my post he forgot to log out and I forgot to log in, as we were sharing the same computer :S I'm sorry for the mix up, so the guy with the revolver is Aidan and the guy with the crowbar is Etienne. I hope I haven't confused you guys. Once again I do apologise.. Quote
Rika_Croft Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 (edited) No worries, I just changed the post and all is well. LOLz everything makes scense now that I read it from Aidan's pov. lolz Edited August 18, 2006 by Rika_Croft Quote
Morph Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 (edited) (OOC: Oh, I've got it now. That was spinning me out, lol) "Guys, where are you now?" I called as I jogged up the corridor "You guys?" I said again as I rounded the corner and saw them "Oh, there you are" I said as I walked towards them, then I stopped as I spotted another person "Oh, for the love of...Who are you?". "Ow. Geez. Son of a..." Angela trailed off in her mumbling while she rubbed her head. "Angela! Are you okay? Did he hit you with that crowbar!?" I asked, a little shocked. Edited August 21, 2006 by Morpheanne Quote
Rika_Croft Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 "You'd better tell us who the hell you are," comanded Aidan poiting his revolver at the man. "I have no such obligation," said the man in his french accent. "And we have no obligation to keep you alive," cried Angela, "So either you tell us who you are, Or I'll shoot you myslef." Angela pulled out her own gun and pointed it at the man. "hahahha," the man laughed at them. Quote
jackofspades Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 (edited) "well if we are all going to start pointing gunz at one anuzer" i raised an eyebrow along with my pistol, then lowered them both. "but zat would be pointless". i turned to the girl who i hit around the head. "i'm sorry about zat, i could have sworn you were one of zose creatures" i flashed my smile and the girl seemed to sofen up, it never fails. turning to address the group i thought it best to introduce myself. "sorry for the misunderstaning. my name is Etienne Soryu, im a cosmetics scientist working for a french cosmetics company. im here to collect a line of cosmetics reumbral has developed for us, where one of its sister companies you see. im the only one of my colleges left, its rather sad". Ettiennes frigid expression settled on Ada "now its my turn, would you care to expain what an odd collection of civilian misfits are doing in the lower levels of one of the worlds most powerful companies?" Etienne threw a sharp glance at the woman in reds 3 strange companions, "your surely not employees". Edited August 23, 2006 by etienne Quote
Ms.Croft Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 I raised my eyebrow at the man. "If you must know..." I said, revealing a capsule from my side pouch. "I am here to collect samples of the virus, and then to find a cure for this entire mess!" He looked back at me, with an unconvinced look. "Vight, I see. I still do not believe you." "And you!" I pointed at him. "You're here to collect a cosmetic sample?! So, your employers decided to send a well armed agent," I continued looking at his many guns covered by his clothes, "While this mess is on just to collect a sample of cosmetics? There's something more to you!" "Avez-vous entendu parler de notre compagnie?" "Non, mais je sais que vous êtes vraiment ici pour." I replied in my best French. "Donc vous savez ma mission?" "Oui! Je pense que nous avons la mission pareille. Nous travaillerons ensemble àle trouver! Oui?" "Oui!" We stopped talking, and focused our eyes on each other intensely. "Um, excuse me," Aidan suddenly interupted. I turned to him. "I don't mean to break up the party, and everything...but can we get out of here?!" "Sure, follow me!" I turned, and walked towards the sliding doors. Quote
Rika_Croft Posted August 24, 2006 Report Posted August 24, 2006 Ada and Etinenne walked to the front of the group. "I know ze way out of zis building, If you vill follow moi, I vill be able to lead you out," Etienne said to them. Him and Ada lead the way. "I don't trust them," Angela whispered to the rest of the group, "They said that they were going to find the virus together." "So, whats the matter with that?" asked Aidan. "The question is where do we fit into this plan," Mileena explained to him. "We'd better not let them know that we can understand them," Angela said, "That way we will be able to listen to their converstations, and if they try to do something, we'll be ready." Quote
Morph Posted August 25, 2006 Report Posted August 25, 2006 We continued to follow them, keeping a mental note of the ways we came, when they stopped in front of us. "This is ze virus lab" the French man announced. "Great" I mumbled, standing with my arms crossed. "Mmm" Both Angela and Aidan agreed. Ada opened the lab door and etienne entered, as she went to follow, she turned back to us. "Are you lot coming?" she asked. "No, were fine out here" I replied. "Whatever makes you happy" she said as she turned. "I say we lock 'em in there and see what happens!" Angela whispered. "Sure. One problem though" Aidan whispered back "What?" she asked "We don't know the code" I replied "Oh. Right" Angela sighed "What do we do now then? I don't trust frenchie or Ada". Quote
Rika_Croft Posted August 25, 2006 Report Posted August 25, 2006 Everyone was musing the situation while Ada and Etienne were in the virus lab. "I don't want to have anything to do with this virus," said Mileena. "Me eithee," I said. "why don't we just leave them?" asked Aidan, "Ada doesn't need us, neither does Etienne. We should just make our way outta here, and try to find Demi in the process." "Good idea," I said, "We'll just follow our original plan, we'll probably meet up with Demi on the way." Quote
Ms.Croft Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 I walked down some stairs, and approached an elevator. The elevator was covered in the brightest white paint I had ever seen, and had glass doors. We each walked in singular file, until we were all inside. I looked around for some buttons, but there wasn't any. I could see floating numbers, and letters that were painted on the elevator but they looked a bit out of place. I pushed my finger onto the 'B'. "You have pushed 'B', for Basement. Please wait momentarily while we prepare the elevator for descent." "Prepare?!" Mileena said, looking at the speakers. "How long does it take to prepare an ele--" Before she could finish her sentence, the elevator plummeted as if the cord holding it had been snapped. Angela screamed to the top of her lungs. After 20 seconds of freefall, the elevator began to elegantly slow down until it came to a stop. As I turned around, I saw Angela clinging onto Aidan's arm for dear life. She slowly opened her eyes, and then looked at him. In a split second, she let go and quickly walked out. "He he, better get going to that train!" She smiled at us, and we all stared back at her with blank faces. "Come on, no time like the present!" I smiled, and walked after her. Quote
