Avoiding detention... TO HELL!

[Daft Sikes]

David smiled. "Well, with more practice, I should be able to read minds, maybe even control them, teleportation, and maybe another kind of kinesis, like astralkinesis, pyrokinesis, or cryokinesis!" David rested his chin on his hand. "There are many possibilities."

 

[mcpop9]

"Well, I'm going to go hit the sack. I used allot of energy in today's events. need to rebuild my stockpiles." Hataki said then yawned "G'night you two, and Astra? spare him would you? he's a nice young man and i would hate to see him get hurt." with that Hataki walked out of the room.

Spoiler: ooc

G'night, see you when i wake up.

 

[Daft Sikes]

"Night Hataki! See you in the morning!" David called out to her. He turned to Astra. "So, should I go get some sleep too, or..."

Spoiler: OOC

Gonna sign off too. Night guys.

 

[MrJKapowey]

Harper stared down the pit. "Okay then, I can see noone thought about difficulties we'd face here." He turned and took off his day sack, rummaging around until he found what he wanted, a long cord and some clips to climb with. After he set his equipment up on the ledge, he tied the rope around his waist in preparation for the climb down. "Let's go do this then!"

 

[Fishtie]

Astra nodded. "Mmm, yah. Sleep would probably be a pretty good idea. Lots to do tomorrow... uh, latter. Time down here is weird."

With that she began to fly upwards and out of the hole in the roof again. "Got to go!" She called back. "I'll be back in a bit. Humans to torture and all that."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The light that struck Galio's eyes was only relatively bright. Still blinding after the absolute darkness that he had left, but it seemed to fade after a while.

Now that his eyes had adapted to the light Galio could see that it was being produced by a small old fashioned lantern. It hung from an old but ornate stand that stuck out of the ground.

The lantern light didn't extend very far and it certainly didn't seem to illuminate any walls or ceilings. Below was a smoothed floor of unbroken stone, and no stars shined above.

Nearby a few massive pillars of stone each several feet around extended far up into the darkness. Behind seemed to be some sort of stone building, maybe a temple or mausoleum; but the door was sealed shut with a heavy stone.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With the others...

As the students moved down into the hole they quickly realized that they were descending deep into darkness. If they wanted to see where they were going they would need some kind of light.

From above Lola called. "Hey, you forgot to answer the riddle."

"Of the three that make up man; body, mind, and spirit. What holds them together? What every man covets with his last breath, yet everyone can create? What is easiest to lose, yet surrounds us all?"

"I'll expect an answer when you get back!"

And with that her voice was heard no more.

 

[MrJKapowey]

Harper looked down into the darkness. "Damn it, I can't see anything, can you guys?" He swung for a moment trying to shift his day sack. "I can't reach into my bag, when we get to the bottom I'll get a flare out, but we'll just have to make do for now.

Spoiler: OOC

Huh? I'm not following this so well. I guess the events with One Hit Noob and mcpop9 were scripted by Fishtie, but I have only got a vague idea of what's happening.

- Hataki is turning into a Succubus
- Dave is off trying to get off
- Me, John and Tasha are alone still continuing the quest
- Jack has been possessed by a book he nicked from the library (gotta be War and Peace...), transported to the underworld, been corrupted and trained by some weird demon/mystic thing/person, then his memory is wiped (I guess he doesn't know us any more), then he murders two mystics (who are police men for Thernadiers?). Now he is somewhere with no knowledge, a murderous voice in his ear, excessive powers, a staff of death and some evil books.

Am I understanding everything correctly?

EDIT: Oh yeah, I guess we're meant to come up with the answer to the riddle ourselves, with minimal conferring?

 

[mcpop9]

Hataki woke up. Deciding that she'd need all the energy she could muster, she went into the kitchen for breakfast. She looked in the icebox, finding a steak Hataki quickly seared it and ate it.

Going into the back room, she found her no one there so she rose up two targets and started to practice.

Spoiler: ooc

about right, i loled at the david part.

 

[MrJKapowey]

Spoiler: OOC

Ah, already got an answer. Can I climb back up and deliver it to Lola?

 

[Daft Sikes]

David rolled over around on his bed and landed on the floor with an audible thump.
"Mmfgh..." David pushed himself up from the floor and let out a loud yawn. He picked up his bag and went over to the kitchen. He pulled out an apple and ate it quietly.

Once finished, he went over to the backroom and found Hataki training again. "Morning Hataki..." David yawned again and rubbed his eyes.

Spoiler: OOC

Yeah,that's one of his reasons for going. He also hoped that Astra would be able to help him train.

 

[mcpop9]

Hataki released an arc of electricity at a target, causing it to explode. "Morning to you to0. Sleep well?" she asked and started to flow electricity between her hands, then with a burst she arced it to the other target for about 10 seconds. during this, the entire room was filled with a red glow from the electricity.

 

[Daft Sikes]

"Not really no." David stretched. "I couldn't sleep right. Voices everywhere. Gotta find a way to quiet them." David went to the side and went into the same meditational pose from yesterday. He was floating slightly off of the ground.

 

[mcpop9]

"Weird, best sleep i've ever gotten even with my wings," hataki said gesturing to them. "wonder when Astra is getting back, i want to continue my training. But a break might be nice though." And she took a seat on a chair that rose up out of the ground.

 

[Pappytech]

"Hold on," John said to Harper. Using his free hand, he pulled a flashlight out of his backpack, shining it down into the darkness.

 

[Vesuvius Hetlan]

Spoiler: Sorry!!!

I'm not going to be on much today. Can you auto Tasha along again? I've gotta shit ton of work to do before going to college...T_T

 

[Pappytech]

Spoiler: OOC

Good luck man! I remember trying to get ready for college last year. It's hard, but trust me, it'll be worth it

 

[MrJKapowey]

"Cool, thanks man. It's going to be nice knowing when we're near the bottom." Harper called over as he continued to absail down in bounds.

Spoiler: OOC

Yeah, sure. I'll assume Tasha is with me unless I end up doing a Hataki and buggering off somewhere. XD

 

[Pappytech]

"Yeah, no problem. Geez, how long is this hole?"

John continued to slide down, keeping his grip tight on the wall.

 

[MrJKapowey]

"Oh my god. Is this shaft going to go on for any longer? We're sitting ducks if we're attacked and, quite frankly, I'm getting bored of a supermassive black hole below with a pinprick of light above."

 

[Vesuvius Hetlan]

Tasha slid down after John, holding on with his prosthetic rather than his biological hand. His backpack felt rather heavy. [sub]"Probably weighed down by books and stuff."[/sub] He grimaced as some of the synthe-skin on his palm began to feel loose. [sub]"Shoot I hate it when this happens... Stuff's like putty."[/sub]

 

[Pappytech]

Shining the flashlight around, John attempted to get some idea of where they were. All he knew was that he, Tasha, and Harper had been descending for a while now, with no sign of either a bottom or any other light sources.

Sighing, John called out, "Yeah, you're right Harper. This is getting us nowhere. Screw it, I'm jumping."

Bracing his legs against the wall, John slowed himself to a stop. He exhaled slowly, and released his left hand's grip on the wall. Falling backwards, he pushed against the wall with his legs, propelling himself into the center of the shaft.

Quickly accelerating, John gave a command to HK. The battle-bot released its master's arm, and returned to its original shape. It then latched onto John's legs, shifting its body around his feet, forming a pair of boots.
