[19:56:02] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *The evening moves on. And although the scenery has changed, the grim reality of their fate has not. Everett and his clone wait outside the Cyrus estate for their team, minutes before Midnight*
[19:57:32] iFawe: Maddie: *In her Brotherhood Suit.* Pizza says I nail more gribblies than you, Tamster.
[19:57:49] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Hehehehe you're on.
[19:58:06] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: I'm not making this bet again
[19:58:19] iFawe: Maddie: He he he he he.
[19:58:22] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: *checks his watch* 5 minutes to go. Still no Rei...
[19:58:25] iFawe: Maddie: Sore loser.
[19:59:03] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: It can't be helped
[19:59:08] iFawe: Maddie: She's being dumb dumb stupid.
[19:59:32] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: And also dumb.
[20:00:11] iFawe: Maddie: Yeah.
[20:00:15] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: Not much we can do for her. She's a strong woman, we taught her how to survive the Nightmare Hour and use her totem. I'm sure she'll be fine
[20:00:44] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Haha you sure?
[20:01:00] iFawe: Maddie: So we all got free reign to Rambo?
[20:01:14] iFawe: Maddie: *Looks at Tamsyn* Tambo, too.
[20:01:14] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: Don't be foolish
[20:01:21] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *snrk*
[20:02:18] iFawe: Maddie: Hey, I got commando training. And a sweet plastic shotgun.
[20:02:31] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: She's got 'em.
[20:03:00] iFawe: Maddie: Yeah!
[20:03:12] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: Anyway. Tonight we need to go check out that frozen tower. It's a pretty much open tundra from here to the tower. So... be careful
[20:04:30] iFawe: Maddie: I brought a MRE. 'cause I'm feelin' hungry.
[20:04:57] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Couldn't you have brought like -anything- else semi-edible?
[20:05:02] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Hurry up and eat it before it rots
[20:05:31] iFawe: Maddie: Silly Evvy, MREs don't rot.
[20:06:01] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Even in the nightmare hour?
[20:06:42] iFawe: Maddie: Ever seem mouldy instant noodles?
[20:07:40] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: ...point
[20:07:50] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Hehe.
[20:08:17] iFawe: Maddie: Damn right.
[20:09:37] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: *looks at his watch* it's time
[20:10:11] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: *readies!*
[20:11:33] iFawe: Maddie: *Scarfs her spam.*
[20:13:15] iFawe: Maddie: Beers on Evvy after!
[20:13:17] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *As per the norm, the clock strikes 12 and time stops. Things grey and the once white and beautiful Alaskan wilderness turns into a hideous Tundra, devoid of life and crawling with death*
[20:13:34] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *Making a face like she feels a sneeze coming on.*
[20:14:22] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *and looming in the distance is the Frigid Tower. Its frozen spires piercing the Hell Alaskan skies*
[20:14:47] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *Surrounding the tower, and the only visible way towards it, is through the woods. A now foreboding looking taiga*
[20:19:03] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: *In his Hell-Alaska outfit with the trenchcoat and the boots and so forth.*
[20:19:26] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *shakes her head rapidly like she's got a bad taste in her mouth* Blehhhhhh
[20:19:32] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: *yeah, she's been there all along* Problem?
[20:19:58] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Those timey-wimey senses I tried so hard to get used to just up and vanished.
[20:20:25] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: Those what?
[20:20:31] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: I lost track
[20:21:18] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: We should get going
[20:21:57] iFawe: Maddie: Don't know.
[20:21:59] UmbraFractus_: Tony: *-His- timey-wimey senses are probably going berzerk right about now* *twitch*
[20:23:32] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: We have a lot of forest to cover. *starts heading forward*
[20:24:43] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: This is where the fun begins. *follows*
[20:25:30] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: *Follows them as well.* This should be interesting.
[20:25:47] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Don't feel like explaining, haha.
[20:28:03] iFawe: Maddie: Eyup.
[20:29:28] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: *eyeroll*
[20:29:40] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *Dark chuckle.*
[20:29:47] iFawe: Maddie: Now is not the time.
[20:29:49] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: *leads the group into the woods, his weapon ready. His boots crunch eerily into the snow, no other sound around them. The trees look dead, twisted.* This place is lovely
[20:30:12] iFawe: Maddie: In a Crystal Lake sorta way.
[20:30:19] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: Indeed.
[20:30:55] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Just without the lake
[20:31:15] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: And the dead sluts
[20:32:19] iFawe: Maddie: Harsh.
[20:33:24] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: A little
[20:33:32] iFawe: Maddie: *Nibbles dry noodles.* 'swhats the plan, Evster?
[20:34:27] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Simple. We keep heading towards the tower and when we get there we investigate- *Halfway through his sentence he is cut off by the sound of something rustling and moving through the snow in the trees beyond them. Everett instantly goes for his gun*
[20:34:40] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: *Readies pinmace.*
[20:34:51] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: hehehehehe
[20:35:28] iFawe: Maddie: *Lock and load!*
[20:37:21] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *The sounds stop for a moment, and then quickly a large white bear rushes out from the the darkness. Its fur is matted with dried blood, and its jaw seems 2 sizes too large, and has ripped open its muzzle. Sinews and muscles are visible throughout the creature in parts it seems to have outgrown its own fur*
[20:37:51] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Hell Bear: *The monstrous bear let's out a primal roar and leaps straight towards the group*
[20:38:03] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *Flanks it! She attempts to slice an exposed sinew with her handy dandy ice axe!*
[20:38:59] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: *dive for cover followed by pew pew*
[20:39:11] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: *Nimble leap out of the way*
[20:39:48] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Hell Bear: *The wound seems to barely faze the hell beast. It's jaws lash out at C.Everett, who blocks them with his sword. The fire blasts seem to faze it a bit, but it remains concentrated on C.Everett*
[20:39:51] iFawe: Maddie: *Leaps backwards, less gracefully. Already bringing the shotgun up. She's got the beast in her sights!*
[20:40:00] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: Tch... shoot the bloody thing!
[20:40:38] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: *has no problem with this. He brings up his gun and begins to fire, filling the creature with holes. Red blood splattering onto the white snow*
[20:43:55] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Hell Bear: *Bits down further on C.Everett's blade, and knocks him to the snow. It rises up on its hind legs, roaring above him*
[20:43:59] iFawe: Maddie: *Likewise, aims to give the bear some ventilation. Pow pow!*
[20:44:30] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: *directs her fire into the wounds Everett and Maddie leave behind, hoping to get a blast inside it*
[20:45:35] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: *If that doesn't work, she'll probably still do damage, of course
*
[20:45:32] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Hell bear: *It gets shot several times by the shotgun and staggers, more of its blood splattering to the snow. It stumbles backwards for a bit and then quickly gets hit by the fire, knocking it to the ground, where it struggles to get up*
[20:46:50] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *Has backed off so -she- doesn't get ventilated.*
[20:48:45] iFawe: Maddie: *Leaps forward to pour the heat on the downed bear!*
[20:49:06] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: *he follows suit, firing into the bear*
[20:49:44] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Hell Bear: *it tries to get up, but is riddled with fire. it lets out a final dying roar and slumps to the ground, its blood pooling beneath it*
[20:49:57] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: *exhale* Well... that was a new experience
[20:53:23] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: Everyone ok? *gets up*
[20:54:02] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: No less OK than I was half an hour ago.
[20:56:19] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Well we should continue
[20:56:58] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: *looks down at the blood splattered snow* Heh... You know. I must really be fucked up. Cuz, I actually think that's kinda pretty, in a way
[20:57:05] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Hehe.
[20:57:11] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Isn't it? *Grins.*
[20:57:28] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: it kinda is
[21:00:04] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: Sort of like abstract art
[21:01:01] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: I guess. Well, I suppose what Alaska loses in quantity it makes up in quality, huh?
[21:01:32] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Yeah, it's a very pretty frozen deadly wasteland.
[21:01:46] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: I can live without the quantity
[21:02:54] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: I could live without either, honestly
[21:03:17] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: You'd get bored. Be honest. *Continues advancing*
[21:03:21] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Heh. Maybe
[21:04:35] iFawe: Maddie: Pst. Tammy. You're losin'.
[21:08:34] iFawe: Maddie: One to zilch.
[21:10:13] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everetts: *continue their advance!*
[21:10:25] iFawe: Maddie: *Likewise.*
[21:11:30] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *The rest of the trip is eerily quiet. Neither Everett really talks, leaving only the sound of the crunching of the snow beneath them. And after about 20 minutes of walking through the taiga, they finally emerge from the other side*
[21:12:43] iFawe: Maddie: I hate walking.
[21:12:47] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *Beyond them, no more then several hundred feet away, is the Frozen Tower. It is massive from up close, and seems to pierce the skies. Before them is an entrance, a large door made of solid ice a good 40 feet high by 15 across. And it is slightly ajar, just enough for a person to fit through*
[21:12:58] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: it's because you are lazy
[21:13:26] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *Immediately drives her ice axe into the door out of sheer spite.*
[21:13:35] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *With considerable force.*
[21:13:52] AM|Hate: (Tower: *suddenly explodes for no reason*)
[21:14:37] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: How much time do we have left?
[21:14:58] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: A half hour still, I'd say
[21:16:05] iFawe: Maddie: I'll go first, I'm most likely to get stuck. *In she goes!*
[21:16:08] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *Yanks it out, hacks at the door a second time.*
[21:16:46] AM|Hate: (Tower: *explodes again*)
[21:16:55] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Tamsyn. Relax
[21:17:13] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *FRANTIC VANDALISM*
[21:17:30] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: She looks like she's enjoying herself
[21:17:37] AM|Hate: (Tamsyn: I'm plenty relaxed. I just find exploding towers to be immensely enjoyable.)
[21:18:55] iFawe: Maddie: Oi! Tammy! Squeezing through here!
[21:19:15] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *The interior of the tower, to Maddie, looks eerily similar. it is a large empty foyeur with a stairway along the wall that coils upward. In the center of the room is the body of a monster. A large armored humanoid*
[21:19:20] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *Bursts out laughing* I'll make a bigger hole!'
[21:19:32] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: What do you see?
[21:19:55] iFawe: Maddie: One downed hostile, potentially more.
[21:20:26] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: Downed? Are you sure?
[21:21:04] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: Maybe it -is- the same tower
[21:21:13] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: One of the ones we fought last time
[21:21:17] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: Does it look spiky?
[21:21:34] iFawe: Maddie: *Scoots over, nudges downed armor with gun barrel.* Armoured.
[21:21:51] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: Tamsyn. Stop doing that. You're in the way.
[21:22:03] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: hehehehehehe
[21:22:08] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *the armored monster is pretty spikey, with dried blood on it. It is covered in bullet holes and scorch marks. As well as some slashes in its armor*
[21:23:16] iFawe: Maddie: *Calmly puts barrel in visor and double taps.* If it was playing possum it's dead for sure now. Get in here already.
[21:24:02] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: *enters in next and looks around* Well I'll be. it does look the bloody same
[21:24:23] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: hehehehehe
[21:25:40] iFawe: Maddie: *Calling out.* TAMMY. GET YOUR BONY ASS IN HERE, DOUBLE TIME.
[21:25:45] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: *examines the body* Looks like our work, yeah.
[21:25:53] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: hehehehehe *Gets bony ass in there.*
[21:26:06] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: *Follows her in.*
[21:26:12] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: *looks around the place* It certainly looks the same...
[21:26:14] iFawe: Maddie: *Drub*
[21:26:27] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *Starts laughing even harder.*
[21:26:33] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: *follows* Well....so..it follows me? Great, I need another stalker
[21:26:43] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *pffffhaha*
[21:27:24] iFawe: Maddie: Tammy, calm your mad self down.
[21:27:45] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Had to *snrrrk* had to show it who's boss. *hehe*
[21:28:12] iFawe: Maddie: It's a door, dumbass.
[21:28:38] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everetts: *starts looking around the room*
[21:29:48] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: *starting to get worried*
[21:29:58] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: It's a block of ice!
[21:30:35] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: *Heads over to Tammy and Maddie* Tamsyn
[21:30:41] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: hehe
[21:30:55] iFawe: Maddie: It can't be shown who's the boss.
[21:31:10] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Hehehe...
[21:31:18] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Maybe not.
[21:32:43] iFawe: Maddie: So get your head in order. You can spaz out later.
[21:32:53] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: But this is where all the spaz fuel is.
[21:33:06] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Nothing but ice and cold and things that hate us for miles.
[21:33:11] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: heh heh heh...
[21:33:14] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: We need you clear headed here, Tamsyn
[21:33:22] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Also *snrrrrrk* some trees.
[21:33:46] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett; We're inside now, no more ice and snow. Or trees
[21:34:04] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Yeah... yeah, I guess we are.
[21:34:14] iFawe: Maddie: Just us.
[21:34:25] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: So c'mon, let's investigate this, right? Just like we always do
[21:34:42] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: The good news is we've already killed a lot of things
[21:34:43] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: See if there's a pair of bloodstained spiky doorknobs?
[21:35:12] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: That should be up the stairs
[21:35:12] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: *rubs her hands as she remembers that* :<
[21:36:24] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: I'll go look. The rest of you take care of the bottom floor, alright?
[21:36:30] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: *heads up the stairs*
[21:36:47] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: You can't go alone!
[21:36:48] iFawe: Maddie: Sophie, go with him.
[21:37:05] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: *already moving*
[21:37:11] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Dumb dumb dumb idea, Everett Two.
[21:37:21] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: I'll be fine. And thanks
[21:37:26] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Heheh.
[21:37:29] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: *nods to Sophie*
[21:37:52] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: Leave no one alone *nods*
[21:38:00] iFawe: Maddie: Alright. Darcy, watch the door and hurt anything that comes through.
[21:38:07] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: Okay.
[21:38:18] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: right. *walk walk up up*
[21:39:09] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: *follow follow*
[21:39:43] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: *as they climb the stairs, eventually they reach the door with the spiked handles. Both of them open already from previous progress. And beyond the torture like halls they have been advancing through steadily*
[21:40:11] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *on the lower floor, whoever is perceptive, will notice a little light coming from a section of the walls in one part of the room*
[21:40:27] iFawe: Maddie: *Slices the pie on the ground floor.*
[21:40:30] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: *shudders as they pass through the torture chambers*
[21:40:58] MobileSuitGundamFrank: (Slices the pie?)
[21:41:04] iFawe: Maddie: Everett. Check out this light business.
[21:41:13] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *Has the eagle eye to notice it, but she's just a little distracted.*
[21:41:20] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: *grabs her arm* I think we know it's the same. We shouldn't advance further
[21:41:33] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Hmm? *looks over ans squnts* Huh...
[21:41:51] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Light: *on closer inspection, looks like it's coming from behind the wall. As if a small crack is open*
[21:42:43] AM|Hate: (Light: *writes all of their names in the death note*)
[21:43:05] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: Not without the others, you mean?
[21:43:24] AM|Hate: (Poor pie. What did he do to you, Maddie?)
[21:43:35] toothsomeCameo: (Tamsyn: Gimme some of that pie.)
[21:43:55] iFawe: Maddie: Hey, neat. I'm gonna bust this a bit more open. Stand back.
[21:44:42] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: Right
[21:45:15] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: *nods and turns back*
[21:45:34] iFawe: Maddie: *Smashes away at the light area with butt of fun.*
[21:45:37] iFawe: *gun
[21:46:43] UmbraFractus_: (Kiya: She has one of those too :j )
[21:47:02] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *as Maddie gets closer to the source of the light and is about to hit it, she notices that it seems like what lies ahead of her is a secret door, that is just -barely- open. And that is where the light is coming through. She should be able to dig her hands in it and open it*
[21:47:16] toothsomeCameo: (Now I'm picturing Maddie ramming the wall with her butt.)
[21:47:38] MobileSuitGundamFrank: (Her butt of fun)
[21:47:46] MobileSuitGundamFrank: (That should be the new nickname for her butt)
[21:48:36] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: *back down the stairs with Sophie!* Well...it's apparent. This is the same place
[21:49:38] iFawe: Maddie: *Nudges it open with barrel of gun.*
[21:50:09] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: Interesting.
[21:50:41] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *the door nudges open and reveals a small hallway, no longer then 30 feet, to a another door. This one is metallic and rusted. Like an emergency exit in a building*
[21:51:10] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: Where's Maddie?
[21:51:22] iFawe: Maddie: *Cautiously enters.* Darcy, watch my rear.
[21:51:31] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Exploring a new door we found
[21:51:35] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: new door?
[21:51:54] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *cracks up again*
[21:51:56] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: Right.
[21:52:32] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: Alone?
[21:52:42] iFawe: Maddie: *Scoots forward, looking down her gun as she advances!*
[21:52:49] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Darcy is with her
[21:52:58] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: *Watches out from the doorway.*
[21:53:00] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: Okay, then
[21:53:21] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: Are we going to join them, or wait here?
[21:53:24] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: *Then advances with her.*
[21:53:30] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Hallway: *The lights flicker a bit, the soft hum of fluorescent lights buzzing on and off. The walls are water stained and rusted, leading towards the single emergency door*
[21:53:55] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: The hallway is narrow, I don;t want a death funnel
[21:54:03] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *Snrk* Good band name.
[21:54:05] iFawe: Maddie: *Applies combat boot to door.*
[21:54:43] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *the door slams open with a rusted clank. As it swings open, what she sees before her is the rusted and derelict environment of Hell Seattle*
[21:55:00] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: *Glances over*
[21:55:14] iFawe: Maddie: You gotta be squidding me.
[21:55:26] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: What?
[21:55:28] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: This is quite interesting.
[21:55:35] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: Everett, come take a look at this.
[21:55:42] iFawe: Maddie: It's a door to Seattle
[21:55:51] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: *looks at C.Everett and Sophie and then follows after*
[21:56:03] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: You gotta be kidding me
[21:57:04] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: The tower appears to be a nexus for the different cities' Nightmare Hour counterparts.
[21:57:07] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: *he pushes through the hallway towards Maddie and looks past here* Bloody hell. it -is- Seattle
[21:57:10] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: *follows*
[21:57:27] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: !! *he begins frantically searching around the walls of the main room*
[21:57:32] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: So, if we go through, will we come back to Seattle when the hour ends?
[21:57:44] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *From behind C. Everett* Lookin' for Hell-London?
[21:57:52] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: I could test that.
[21:58:18] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: It's the only other city we spent a good time in.
[21:58:45] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: *tapping along the walls with the hilt of his sword when he finds a hollow clunk* ....*begins searching for a way to open it*
[21:58:45] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: I think my vision's better than it was this morning, I'll help you look.
[21:58:53] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Haha never mind you found it!
[21:58:58] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: Help me open this
[21:59:15] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *Uses the best piercing bit of her ice axe to split the wall open.*
[21:59:17] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: I don't want to leave you there, Darce
[21:59:47] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: I'll be back soon enough.
[21:59:51] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *Tamsyn is able to find a seam with her ax and pry the door open. Beyond is an old stone hallway, light eerily by torches that leads to an oak door*
[22:00:03] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Maybe. If not you end up in Seattle. Alone
[22:01:35] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: I could wait until the Nightmare Hour is about to end.
[22:01:45] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: After that I just need to buy a train ticket.
[22:02:04] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: *looks to Maddie for her thoughts on the subject*
[22:02:09] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Haha, classy.
[22:03:09] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: 5 quid says this goes to London
[22:03:17] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: I haven't got any quid
[22:03:32] iFawe: Maddie: Negatory, chief. Too many variables.
[22:03:39] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: *nods* I agree
[22:03:53] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: We'll just have to go with what we have
[22:03:54] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Hehe I ain't gonna take that bet 'cause you'll win easy.
[22:04:01] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: Okay.
[22:04:11] iFawe: Maddie: Rather do it in reverse, so the Caleb guy can use his buckets of money to get you home reliably and fast.
[22:04:12] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: Damn. Heh. *smirks and heads down the hall*
[22:05:17] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Speaking of Caleb. I doubt he'll find any train or flight info on Clara. I think we found out how she got here.
[22:06:08] iFawe: Maddie: Cool. Here's the new plan.
[22:06:30] iFawe: Maddie: We're trapping the shit out of these doors.
[22:07:07] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Let's hope that works.
[22:07:21] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: It should help.
[22:07:30] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Great. If this wasn't enough, my power literally gives my murderous ex a way to stalk me wherever I am on the planet
[22:08:10] iFawe: Maddie: Might not kill her, might slow her down.
[22:08:21] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: better then nothing
[22:08:28] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: Look at it this way. Now we know if we get separated in the real world, we have a quick way to regroup
[22:08:41] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: I'm certain Clara -did- use the doors, but that raises the question of why they were blocked off. Especially the Seattle door.
[22:09:00] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Maybe that;s just how..it works?
[22:09:34] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Either way, this tower just got a lot more mysterious
[22:11:03] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: What sort of traps do you think we can rig up?
[22:11:12] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: There's certainly a lot of sharp objects around.
[22:11:48] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Let's head back to the main room and think of something
[22:12:21] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *meanwhile, at the other hallway, C.Everett has reached the oaken door and opens it with a creek*
[22:12:35] toothsomeCameo: (*the room floods*)
[22:12:39] iFawe: Maddie: I want to say 'Claymore' but I don't have one and it wouldn't survive this place.
[22:13:20] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: I was thinking we'd be better off rigging something from the nightmare debris.
[22:15:27] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: *Before him lies the ruins of Hell London, just like he and Tamsyn had assumed. The London Bridge can be seen in the distance, collapsed and rotted away. The Tower of London looms ominously in the distance, half of it in ruins. And straight up is the imposing Hell Ben*
[22:15:40] iFawe: Maddie: Short of spikes on the floor I'm not sure what we can rig.
[22:15:55] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Well, we can brainstorm
[22:17:23] iFawe: Maddie: For starters, cover the floor in broken glass, so we can at least see which doors are in use.
[22:17:40] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Haha, not bad.
[22:18:36] AM|Hate: (Hell Ben: IF YOU TOUCH MY STUFF I'LL...)
[22:18:40] AM|Hate: (... uh...)
[22:18:53] AM|Hate: (Actually, I can't think of anything worse than what Normal Ben usually threatens.)
[22:18:58] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: *runs to join C.Evvy* Is it...?
[22:19:09] AM|Hate: (Never mind. Joke Aborted.)
[22:19:28] UmbraFractus_: ( o/~ Hell Ben / Hell Ben for leather! o/~ )
[22:21:37] AM|Hate: (Thank you, yun, that works much better than my joke)
[22:22:14] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *Looking out into Hell London, a figure can be seen standing amongst the chaos. Clara stands with her hands across her chest, half her face covered in her own blood, from an apparent head wound. She is grinning, looking straight at C.Everett Tamsyn and Sophie. TO her sides are a pair of hell beasts, each snarling at the group, seemingly guarding her*
[22:23:33] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Clara: *She opens her mouth as if to speak, but the loud clang of Hell Ben's clock rings through the air at a deafening sound, muffling her words. But C.Everett Watches her, sees her lips move. He is able to parse her parting phrase as the Nightmare Hour rushes to an end*
[22:23:49] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *Grins back, a feral baring of teeth.*
[22:24:20] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: *moves to pull CE out of the way, but finds herself back in Alaska instead* @_@
[22:24:58] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *And she's laughing like a maniac again.*
[22:25:45] iFawe: Maddie: *Deeeeep breath.*
[22:29:08] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: What happened over there?
[22:29:08] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Clara: *'I love you, Everett'. And her maniacal grin is the last he sees before being transported back to the exterior of the Cyrus estate*
[22:29:18] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Aaaand...we're back
[22:31:20] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: ..... I need a fucking drink
[22:33:18] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: I think I'll join you
[22:33:08] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: I'm heading inside. *does so*
[22:32:48] iFawe: Maddie: Me too.
[22:33:46] iFawe: Maddie: *Yeah already ghosting towards the bar.*
[19:56:02] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *The evening moves on. And although the scenery has changed, the grim reality of their fate has not. Everett and his clone wait outside the Cyrus estate for their team, minutes before Midnight*
[19:57:32] iFawe: Maddie: *In her Brotherhood Suit.* Pizza says I nail more gribblies than you, Tamster.
[19:57:49] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Hehehehe you're on.
[19:58:06] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: I'm not making this bet again
[19:58:19] iFawe: Maddie: He he he he he.
[19:58:22] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: *checks his watch* 5 minutes to go. Still no Rei...
[19:58:25] iFawe: Maddie: Sore loser.
[19:59:03] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: It can't be helped
[19:59:08] iFawe: Maddie: She's being dumb dumb stupid.
[19:59:32] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: And also dumb.
[20:00:11] iFawe: Maddie: Yeah.
[20:00:15] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: Not much we can do for her. She's a strong woman, we taught her how to survive the Nightmare Hour and use her totem. I'm sure she'll be fine
[20:00:44] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Haha you sure?
[20:01:00] iFawe: Maddie: So we all got free reign to Rambo?
[20:01:14] iFawe: Maddie: *Looks at Tamsyn* Tambo, too.
[20:01:14] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: Don't be foolish
[20:01:21] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *snrk*
[20:02:18] iFawe: Maddie: Hey, I got commando training. And a sweet plastic shotgun.
[20:02:31] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: She's got 'em.
[20:03:00] iFawe: Maddie: Yeah!
[20:03:12] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: Anyway. Tonight we need to go check out that frozen tower. It's a pretty much open tundra from here to the tower. So... be careful
[20:04:30] iFawe: Maddie: I brought a MRE. 'cause I'm feelin' hungry.
[20:04:57] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Couldn't you have brought like -anything- else semi-edible?
[20:05:02] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Hurry up and eat it before it rots
[20:05:31] iFawe: Maddie: Silly Evvy, MREs don't rot.
[20:06:01] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Even in the nightmare hour?
[20:06:42] iFawe: Maddie: Ever seem mouldy instant noodles?
[20:07:40] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: ...point
[20:07:50] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Hehe.
[20:08:17] iFawe: Maddie: Damn right.
[20:09:37] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: *looks at his watch* it's time
[20:10:11] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: *readies!*
[20:11:33] iFawe: Maddie: *Scarfs her spam.*
[20:13:15] iFawe: Maddie: Beers on Evvy after!
[20:13:17] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *As per the norm, the clock strikes 12 and time stops. Things grey and the once white and beautiful Alaskan wilderness turns into a hideous Tundra, devoid of life and crawling with death*
[20:13:34] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *Making a face like she feels a sneeze coming on.*
[20:14:22] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *and looming in the distance is the Frigid Tower. Its frozen spires piercing the Hell Alaskan skies*
[20:14:47] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *Surrounding the tower, and the only visible way towards it, is through the woods. A now foreboding looking taiga*
[20:19:03] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: *In his Hell-Alaska outfit with the trenchcoat and the boots and so forth.*
[20:19:26] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *shakes her head rapidly like she's got a bad taste in her mouth* Blehhhhhh
[20:19:32] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: *yeah, she's been there all along* Problem?
[20:19:58] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Those timey-wimey senses I tried so hard to get used to just up and vanished.
[20:20:25] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: Those what?
[20:20:31] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: I lost track
[20:21:18] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: We should get going
[20:21:57] iFawe: Maddie: Don't know.
[20:21:59] UmbraFractus_: Tony: *-His- timey-wimey senses are probably going berzerk right about now* *twitch*
[20:23:32] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: We have a lot of forest to cover. *starts heading forward*
[20:24:43] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: This is where the fun begins. *follows*
[20:25:30] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: *Follows them as well.* This should be interesting.
[20:25:47] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Don't feel like explaining, haha.
[20:28:03] iFawe: Maddie: Eyup.
[20:29:28] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: *eyeroll*
[20:29:40] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *Dark chuckle.*
[20:29:47] iFawe: Maddie: Now is not the time.
[20:29:49] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: *leads the group into the woods, his weapon ready. His boots crunch eerily into the snow, no other sound around them. The trees look dead, twisted.* This place is lovely
[20:30:12] iFawe: Maddie: In a Crystal Lake sorta way.
[20:30:19] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: Indeed.
[20:30:55] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Just without the lake
[20:31:15] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: And the dead sluts
[20:32:19] iFawe: Maddie: Harsh.
[20:33:24] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: A little
[20:33:32] iFawe: Maddie: *Nibbles dry noodles.* 'swhats the plan, Evster?
[20:34:27] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Simple. We keep heading towards the tower and when we get there we investigate- *Halfway through his sentence he is cut off by the sound of something rustling and moving through the snow in the trees beyond them. Everett instantly goes for his gun*
[20:34:40] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: *Readies pinmace.*
[20:34:51] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: hehehehehe
[20:35:28] iFawe: Maddie: *Lock and load!*
[20:37:21] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *The sounds stop for a moment, and then quickly a large white bear rushes out from the the darkness. Its fur is matted with dried blood, and its jaw seems 2 sizes too large, and has ripped open its muzzle. Sinews and muscles are visible throughout the creature in parts it seems to have outgrown its own fur*
[20:37:51] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Hell Bear: *The monstrous bear let's out a primal roar and leaps straight towards the group*
[20:38:03] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *Flanks it! She attempts to slice an exposed sinew with her handy dandy ice axe!*
[20:38:59] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: *dive for cover followed by pew pew*
[20:39:11] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: *Nimble leap out of the way*
[20:39:48] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Hell Bear: *The wound seems to barely faze the hell beast. It's jaws lash out at C.Everett, who blocks them with his sword. The fire blasts seem to faze it a bit, but it remains concentrated on C.Everett*
[20:39:51] iFawe: Maddie: *Leaps backwards, less gracefully. Already bringing the shotgun up. She's got the beast in her sights!*
[20:40:00] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: Tch... shoot the bloody thing!
[20:40:38] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: *has no problem with this. He brings up his gun and begins to fire, filling the creature with holes. Red blood splattering onto the white snow*
[20:43:55] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Hell Bear: *Bits down further on C.Everett's blade, and knocks him to the snow. It rises up on its hind legs, roaring above him*
[20:43:59] iFawe: Maddie: *Likewise, aims to give the bear some ventilation. Pow pow!*
[20:44:30] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: *directs her fire into the wounds Everett and Maddie leave behind, hoping to get a blast inside it*
[20:45:35] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: *If that doesn't work, she'll probably still do damage, of course
*[20:45:32] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Hell bear: *It gets shot several times by the shotgun and staggers, more of its blood splattering to the snow. It stumbles backwards for a bit and then quickly gets hit by the fire, knocking it to the ground, where it struggles to get up*
[20:46:50] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *Has backed off so -she- doesn't get ventilated.*
[20:48:45] iFawe: Maddie: *Leaps forward to pour the heat on the downed bear!*
[20:49:06] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: *he follows suit, firing into the bear*
[20:49:44] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Hell Bear: *it tries to get up, but is riddled with fire. it lets out a final dying roar and slumps to the ground, its blood pooling beneath it*
[20:49:57] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: *exhale* Well... that was a new experience
[20:53:23] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: Everyone ok? *gets up*
[20:54:02] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: No less OK than I was half an hour ago.
[20:56:19] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Well we should continue
[20:56:58] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: *looks down at the blood splattered snow* Heh... You know. I must really be fucked up. Cuz, I actually think that's kinda pretty, in a way
[20:57:05] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Hehe.
[20:57:11] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Isn't it? *Grins.*
[20:57:28] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: it kinda is
[21:00:04] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: Sort of like abstract art
[21:01:01] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: I guess. Well, I suppose what Alaska loses in quantity it makes up in quality, huh?
[21:01:32] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Yeah, it's a very pretty frozen deadly wasteland.
[21:01:46] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: I can live without the quantity
[21:02:54] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: I could live without either, honestly
[21:03:17] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: You'd get bored. Be honest. *Continues advancing*
[21:03:21] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Heh. Maybe
[21:04:35] iFawe: Maddie: Pst. Tammy. You're losin'.
[21:08:34] iFawe: Maddie: One to zilch.
[21:10:13] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everetts: *continue their advance!*
[21:10:25] iFawe: Maddie: *Likewise.*
[21:11:30] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *The rest of the trip is eerily quiet. Neither Everett really talks, leaving only the sound of the crunching of the snow beneath them. And after about 20 minutes of walking through the taiga, they finally emerge from the other side*
[21:12:43] iFawe: Maddie: I hate walking.
[21:12:47] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *Beyond them, no more then several hundred feet away, is the Frozen Tower. It is massive from up close, and seems to pierce the skies. Before them is an entrance, a large door made of solid ice a good 40 feet high by 15 across. And it is slightly ajar, just enough for a person to fit through*
[21:12:58] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: it's because you are lazy
[21:13:26] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *Immediately drives her ice axe into the door out of sheer spite.*
[21:13:35] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *With considerable force.*
[21:13:52] AM|Hate: (Tower: *suddenly explodes for no reason*)
[21:14:37] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: How much time do we have left?
[21:14:58] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: A half hour still, I'd say
[21:16:05] iFawe: Maddie: I'll go first, I'm most likely to get stuck. *In she goes!*
[21:16:08] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *Yanks it out, hacks at the door a second time.*
[21:16:46] AM|Hate: (Tower: *explodes again*)
[21:16:55] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Tamsyn. Relax
[21:17:13] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *FRANTIC VANDALISM*
[21:17:30] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: She looks like she's enjoying herself
[21:17:37] AM|Hate: (Tamsyn: I'm plenty relaxed. I just find exploding towers to be immensely enjoyable.)
[21:18:55] iFawe: Maddie: Oi! Tammy! Squeezing through here!
[21:19:15] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *The interior of the tower, to Maddie, looks eerily similar. it is a large empty foyeur with a stairway along the wall that coils upward. In the center of the room is the body of a monster. A large armored humanoid*
[21:19:20] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *Bursts out laughing* I'll make a bigger hole!'
[21:19:32] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: What do you see?
[21:19:55] iFawe: Maddie: One downed hostile, potentially more.
[21:20:26] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: Downed? Are you sure?
[21:21:04] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: Maybe it -is- the same tower
[21:21:13] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: One of the ones we fought last time
[21:21:17] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: Does it look spiky?
[21:21:34] iFawe: Maddie: *Scoots over, nudges downed armor with gun barrel.* Armoured.
[21:21:51] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: Tamsyn. Stop doing that. You're in the way.
[21:22:03] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: hehehehehehe
[21:22:08] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *the armored monster is pretty spikey, with dried blood on it. It is covered in bullet holes and scorch marks. As well as some slashes in its armor*
[21:23:16] iFawe: Maddie: *Calmly puts barrel in visor and double taps.* If it was playing possum it's dead for sure now. Get in here already.
[21:24:02] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: *enters in next and looks around* Well I'll be. it does look the bloody same
[21:24:23] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: hehehehehe
[21:25:40] iFawe: Maddie: *Calling out.* TAMMY. GET YOUR BONY ASS IN HERE, DOUBLE TIME.
[21:25:45] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: *examines the body* Looks like our work, yeah.
[21:25:53] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: hehehehehe *Gets bony ass in there.*
[21:26:06] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: *Follows her in.*
[21:26:12] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: *looks around the place* It certainly looks the same...
[21:26:14] iFawe: Maddie: *Drub*
[21:26:27] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *Starts laughing even harder.*
[21:26:33] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: *follows* Well....so..it follows me? Great, I need another stalker
[21:26:43] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *pffffhaha*
[21:27:24] iFawe: Maddie: Tammy, calm your mad self down.
[21:27:45] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Had to *snrrrk* had to show it who's boss. *hehe*
[21:28:12] iFawe: Maddie: It's a door, dumbass.
[21:28:38] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everetts: *starts looking around the room*
[21:29:48] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: *starting to get worried*
[21:29:58] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: It's a block of ice!
[21:30:35] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: *Heads over to Tammy and Maddie* Tamsyn
[21:30:41] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: hehe
[21:30:55] iFawe: Maddie: It can't be shown who's the boss.
[21:31:10] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Hehehe...
[21:31:18] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Maybe not.
[21:32:43] iFawe: Maddie: So get your head in order. You can spaz out later.
[21:32:53] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: But this is where all the spaz fuel is.
[21:33:06] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Nothing but ice and cold and things that hate us for miles.
[21:33:11] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: heh heh heh...
[21:33:14] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: We need you clear headed here, Tamsyn
[21:33:22] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Also *snrrrrrk* some trees.
[21:33:46] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett; We're inside now, no more ice and snow. Or trees
[21:34:04] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Yeah... yeah, I guess we are.
[21:34:14] iFawe: Maddie: Just us.
[21:34:25] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: So c'mon, let's investigate this, right? Just like we always do
[21:34:42] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: The good news is we've already killed a lot of things
[21:34:43] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: See if there's a pair of bloodstained spiky doorknobs?
[21:35:12] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: That should be up the stairs
[21:35:12] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: *rubs her hands as she remembers that* :<
[21:36:24] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: I'll go look. The rest of you take care of the bottom floor, alright?
[21:36:30] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: *heads up the stairs*
[21:36:47] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: You can't go alone!
[21:36:48] iFawe: Maddie: Sophie, go with him.
[21:37:05] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: *already moving*
[21:37:11] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Dumb dumb dumb idea, Everett Two.
[21:37:21] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: I'll be fine. And thanks
[21:37:26] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Heheh.
[21:37:29] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: *nods to Sophie*
[21:37:52] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: Leave no one alone *nods*
[21:38:00] iFawe: Maddie: Alright. Darcy, watch the door and hurt anything that comes through.
[21:38:07] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: Okay.
[21:38:18] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: right. *walk walk up up*
[21:39:09] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: *follow follow*
[21:39:43] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: *as they climb the stairs, eventually they reach the door with the spiked handles. Both of them open already from previous progress. And beyond the torture like halls they have been advancing through steadily*
[21:40:11] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *on the lower floor, whoever is perceptive, will notice a little light coming from a section of the walls in one part of the room*
[21:40:27] iFawe: Maddie: *Slices the pie on the ground floor.*
[21:40:30] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: *shudders as they pass through the torture chambers*
[21:40:58] MobileSuitGundamFrank: (Slices the pie?)
[21:41:04] iFawe: Maddie: Everett. Check out this light business.
[21:41:13] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *Has the eagle eye to notice it, but she's just a little distracted.*
[21:41:20] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: *grabs her arm* I think we know it's the same. We shouldn't advance further
[21:41:33] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Hmm? *looks over ans squnts* Huh...
[21:41:51] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Light: *on closer inspection, looks like it's coming from behind the wall. As if a small crack is open*
[21:42:43] AM|Hate: (Light: *writes all of their names in the death note*)
[21:43:05] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: Not without the others, you mean?
[21:43:24] AM|Hate: (Poor pie. What did he do to you, Maddie?)
[21:43:35] toothsomeCameo: (Tamsyn: Gimme some of that pie.)
[21:43:55] iFawe: Maddie: Hey, neat. I'm gonna bust this a bit more open. Stand back.
[21:44:42] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: Right
[21:45:15] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: *nods and turns back*
[21:45:34] iFawe: Maddie: *Smashes away at the light area with butt of fun.*
[21:45:37] iFawe: *gun
[21:46:43] UmbraFractus_: (Kiya: She has one of those too :j )
[21:47:02] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *as Maddie gets closer to the source of the light and is about to hit it, she notices that it seems like what lies ahead of her is a secret door, that is just -barely- open. And that is where the light is coming through. She should be able to dig her hands in it and open it*
[21:47:16] toothsomeCameo: (Now I'm picturing Maddie ramming the wall with her butt.)
[21:47:38] MobileSuitGundamFrank: (Her butt of fun)
[21:47:46] MobileSuitGundamFrank: (That should be the new nickname for her butt)
[21:48:36] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: *back down the stairs with Sophie!* Well...it's apparent. This is the same place
[21:49:38] iFawe: Maddie: *Nudges it open with barrel of gun.*
[21:50:09] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: Interesting.
[21:50:41] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *the door nudges open and reveals a small hallway, no longer then 30 feet, to a another door. This one is metallic and rusted. Like an emergency exit in a building*
[21:51:10] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: Where's Maddie?
[21:51:22] iFawe: Maddie: *Cautiously enters.* Darcy, watch my rear.
[21:51:31] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Exploring a new door we found
[21:51:35] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: new door?
[21:51:54] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *cracks up again*
[21:51:56] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: Right.
[21:52:32] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: Alone?
[21:52:42] iFawe: Maddie: *Scoots forward, looking down her gun as she advances!*
[21:52:49] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Darcy is with her
[21:52:58] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: *Watches out from the doorway.*
[21:53:00] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: Okay, then
[21:53:21] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: Are we going to join them, or wait here?
[21:53:24] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: *Then advances with her.*
[21:53:30] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Hallway: *The lights flicker a bit, the soft hum of fluorescent lights buzzing on and off. The walls are water stained and rusted, leading towards the single emergency door*
[21:53:55] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: The hallway is narrow, I don;t want a death funnel
[21:54:03] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *Snrk* Good band name.
[21:54:05] iFawe: Maddie: *Applies combat boot to door.*
[21:54:43] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *the door slams open with a rusted clank. As it swings open, what she sees before her is the rusted and derelict environment of Hell Seattle*
[21:55:00] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: *Glances over*
[21:55:14] iFawe: Maddie: You gotta be squidding me.
[21:55:26] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: What?
[21:55:28] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: This is quite interesting.
[21:55:35] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: Everett, come take a look at this.
[21:55:42] iFawe: Maddie: It's a door to Seattle
[21:55:51] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: *looks at C.Everett and Sophie and then follows after*
[21:56:03] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: You gotta be kidding me
[21:57:04] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: The tower appears to be a nexus for the different cities' Nightmare Hour counterparts.
[21:57:07] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: *he pushes through the hallway towards Maddie and looks past here* Bloody hell. it -is- Seattle
[21:57:10] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: *follows*
[21:57:27] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: !! *he begins frantically searching around the walls of the main room*
[21:57:32] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: So, if we go through, will we come back to Seattle when the hour ends?
[21:57:44] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *From behind C. Everett* Lookin' for Hell-London?
[21:57:52] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: I could test that.
[21:58:18] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: It's the only other city we spent a good time in.
[21:58:45] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: *tapping along the walls with the hilt of his sword when he finds a hollow clunk* ....*begins searching for a way to open it*
[21:58:45] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: I think my vision's better than it was this morning, I'll help you look.
[21:58:53] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Haha never mind you found it!
[21:58:58] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: Help me open this
[21:59:15] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *Uses the best piercing bit of her ice axe to split the wall open.*
[21:59:17] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: I don't want to leave you there, Darce
[21:59:47] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: I'll be back soon enough.
[21:59:51] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *Tamsyn is able to find a seam with her ax and pry the door open. Beyond is an old stone hallway, light eerily by torches that leads to an oak door*
[22:00:03] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Maybe. If not you end up in Seattle. Alone
[22:01:35] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: I could wait until the Nightmare Hour is about to end.
[22:01:45] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: After that I just need to buy a train ticket.
[22:02:04] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: *looks to Maddie for her thoughts on the subject*
[22:02:09] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Haha, classy.
[22:03:09] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: 5 quid says this goes to London
[22:03:17] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: I haven't got any quid
[22:03:32] iFawe: Maddie: Negatory, chief. Too many variables.
[22:03:39] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: *nods* I agree
[22:03:53] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: We'll just have to go with what we have
[22:03:54] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Hehe I ain't gonna take that bet 'cause you'll win easy.
[22:04:01] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: Okay.
[22:04:11] iFawe: Maddie: Rather do it in reverse, so the Caleb guy can use his buckets of money to get you home reliably and fast.
[22:04:12] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: Damn. Heh. *smirks and heads down the hall*
[22:05:17] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Speaking of Caleb. I doubt he'll find any train or flight info on Clara. I think we found out how she got here.
[22:06:08] iFawe: Maddie: Cool. Here's the new plan.
[22:06:30] iFawe: Maddie: We're trapping the shit out of these doors.
[22:07:07] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Let's hope that works.
[22:07:21] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: It should help.
[22:07:30] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Great. If this wasn't enough, my power literally gives my murderous ex a way to stalk me wherever I am on the planet
[22:08:10] iFawe: Maddie: Might not kill her, might slow her down.
[22:08:21] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: better then nothing
[22:08:28] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: Look at it this way. Now we know if we get separated in the real world, we have a quick way to regroup
[22:08:41] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: I'm certain Clara -did- use the doors, but that raises the question of why they were blocked off. Especially the Seattle door.
[22:09:00] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Maybe that;s just how..it works?
[22:09:34] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Either way, this tower just got a lot more mysterious
[22:11:03] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: What sort of traps do you think we can rig up?
[22:11:12] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: There's certainly a lot of sharp objects around.
[22:11:48] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Let's head back to the main room and think of something
[22:12:21] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *meanwhile, at the other hallway, C.Everett has reached the oaken door and opens it with a creek*
[22:12:35] toothsomeCameo: (*the room floods*)
[22:12:39] iFawe: Maddie: I want to say 'Claymore' but I don't have one and it wouldn't survive this place.
[22:13:20] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: I was thinking we'd be better off rigging something from the nightmare debris.
[22:15:27] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: *Before him lies the ruins of Hell London, just like he and Tamsyn had assumed. The London Bridge can be seen in the distance, collapsed and rotted away. The Tower of London looms ominously in the distance, half of it in ruins. And straight up is the imposing Hell Ben*
[22:15:40] iFawe: Maddie: Short of spikes on the floor I'm not sure what we can rig.
[22:15:55] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Well, we can brainstorm
[22:17:23] iFawe: Maddie: For starters, cover the floor in broken glass, so we can at least see which doors are in use.
[22:17:40] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: Haha, not bad.
[22:18:36] AM|Hate: (Hell Ben: IF YOU TOUCH MY STUFF I'LL...)
[22:18:40] AM|Hate: (... uh...)
[22:18:53] AM|Hate: (Actually, I can't think of anything worse than what Normal Ben usually threatens.)
[22:18:58] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: *runs to join C.Evvy* Is it...?
[22:19:09] AM|Hate: (Never mind. Joke Aborted.)
[22:19:28] UmbraFractus_: ( o/~ Hell Ben / Hell Ben for leather! o/~ )
[22:21:37] AM|Hate: (Thank you, yun, that works much better than my joke)
[22:22:14] MobileSuitGundamFrank: *Looking out into Hell London, a figure can be seen standing amongst the chaos. Clara stands with her hands across her chest, half her face covered in her own blood, from an apparent head wound. She is grinning, looking straight at C.Everett Tamsyn and Sophie. TO her sides are a pair of hell beasts, each snarling at the group, seemingly guarding her*
[22:23:33] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Clara: *She opens her mouth as if to speak, but the loud clang of Hell Ben's clock rings through the air at a deafening sound, muffling her words. But C.Everett Watches her, sees her lips move. He is able to parse her parting phrase as the Nightmare Hour rushes to an end*
[22:23:49] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *Grins back, a feral baring of teeth.*
[22:24:20] UmbraFractus_: Sophie: *moves to pull CE out of the way, but finds herself back in Alaska instead* @_@
[22:24:58] toothsomeCameo: Tamsyn: *And she's laughing like a maniac again.*
[22:25:45] iFawe: Maddie: *Deeeeep breath.*
[22:29:08] toothsomeCameo: Darcy: What happened over there?
[22:29:08] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Clara: *'I love you, Everett'. And her maniacal grin is the last he sees before being transported back to the exterior of the Cyrus estate*
[22:29:18] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: Aaaand...we're back
[22:31:20] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: ..... I need a fucking drink
[22:33:18] MobileSuitGundamFrank: Everett: I think I'll join you
[22:33:08] MobileSuitGundamFrank: C.Everett: I'm heading inside. *does so*
[22:32:48] iFawe: Maddie: Me too.
[22:33:46] iFawe: Maddie: *Yeah already ghosting towards the bar.*
