This felt very strange, having this conversation, but for some reason it was relaxing. Shotoken was great to talk with, and not being on the subject of their surroundings really helped too.
OOC: That works

| The NPC The manager: His name is unknown, he has never been seen and the staff only ever refer to him by his title. He lives in a room on the top floor but no guests have yet seen him or the inside of his room. Brian, Bill, Baxter: identical triplets who work the desk checking you in when you arrive. They talk as one, breaking up everything these say, taking turns with each sentence they say. They ware the hotel uniform and will do anything to make sure you get a room. They are bald as eggs and very fat… they hardly ever stand and can make some people feel sick. Kat; She’s the head chef here and refuses to tell anyone her last name, she is also very dangerous and worth avoiding. She will be nice one moment and the next a killer, using the tools of her trade to make new meat for the stew. She is very attractive Chinese girl with short brown hair, and wares the customary chef costume. She never leaves the kitchen. Les Dominic; The man you meet at the door, he never leaves his post and does nothing but greet the new guests and advises old guests not to leave. He is more robot like then anything else, wearing a door mans costume and unable to do anything then say two lines. “Welcome to the hotel California.” “I would recommend you stay, it’s so nice here.” Steve-o: You will rarely see this guy, but he makes sure everything is cleaned up from the rooms to the staff. There is a lot of mess in the hotel and he is obsessed with keeping it clean, if you are not talking about the hotel he completely ignores you. If you need something fixed of cleaned you will have to find him, of all the staff he is the least dangerous… some believe he is a guest who just gave in and joined up. Wearing his gray cleaning suit and with long gray hair making him look like an aged hippy. His eyesight is poor so he wares thick glasses; also he has a light stutter. Major rooms. All rooms are different in the hotel; you will chose the look by what type of room you ask for at the desk. But certain rooms stay the same. To get from level to level use the stairs or the lift, there are as of now 10 levels and 2 lower levels that only staff may go to. Lobby: the lobby is rather small really, just enough room for the desk where the triplets sit at ready to check you in. As soon as you walk through the door you enter this small room with no features but the wood desk and a wall of keys. The door behind is a revolving door and the door leading deeper into the hotel is an old oak one, the main area of level 1 are accessed from here. Dining room: it is very large and can seat one hundred guests, it is one level one and next to the kitchen. There are twenty to thirty tables depending on guest numbers, this is a top quality restaurant with fine cutlery and art on the walls you would expect to see in a museum. The food served can be excellent or you may find your eating your best friend… Kitchen: run by only one chef it seems empty but there is room for ten chefs and enough utensils to make an army worth of meals. Everything is new and very clean, to the left is the cold room large enough to fit a heard of cows in it. Three rows of cookers, freezer and storage units… Kat is always here. Gym; there is a gym with all the equipment you could ever imagine, top quality and state of the art ready and waiting for you to use. But be careful, accidents do happen in this room… Mangers suite: no one has ever been here, on floor ten room number 666…. I think the number says it all. Lower levels; there are two but no one but staff may reach them, the lift requires a pass code and the doors from the stairs need a key that only staff will have. Phones are everywhere here but can only ever get an inside line to other parts of the hotel… Prologue; There is never a hotel when you need one… apart from the hotel California which is there need it or not. The hotel appears anywhere in the world… the only hotel that goes to the guests wherever they are from. But like the song you can check out anytime you like but you can never leave… no one from the hotel has ever come back out. Now it is empty and ready for new guests, it calls to them like a siren and is starting to fill again. Will anyone escape? Will someone discover the secrets of the hotel? We are about to find out… |

| OOC: my entry! IC: Shotoken continued walking along the side of the road. He was weak, tired, and hungry. But mostly hungry. Like an idiot, he had forgotten to pack any real amount of food on this little trip, and he was out. At this point, he would've eaten a fuckin' tree. Luckily for him, he managed to find a hotel. He walked in, checking in, and hoped there was food. Little did he know what else would await him..... |

| Well in that case I am breaking the un-written rules of rpgs... I am starting a revolution... viva la resistance...! ok maybe its not that big, but I cant be bothered to fix this... and it does not make that much of a difference really. |

| Be careful, the mods may hear...since it IS in the WRITTEN laws of the forums. See here::: http://forums.megatokyo.com/index.php?showtopic=1102448 hehehe.. but it's ok. I don't have a problem with it. I DO suggest putting a LARGE post somewhere in each and movign all the info from the other thread into this one so it will all be in one easy place. (Course that will be a lot more time and trouble...oh well...that's how you wanted it.) |

| {{{OOC: here is the rps moved from the other thread to stop any confusions and to help the reading alittle easier. }}} ********** Shotoken continued walking along the side of the road. He was weak, tired, and hungry. But mostly hungry. Like an idiot, he had forgotten to pack any real amount of food on this little trip, and he was out. At this point, he would've eaten a fuckin' tree. Luckily for him, he managed to find a hotel. He walked in, checking in, and hoped there was food. Little did he know what else would await him..... Shotoken walks in and is greeted by the doorman. "Welcome to the hotel California" Is all he says then goes back to looking at the door. Reaching the check in desk you just see another man walking to the main area juggling his keys in one hand. The triplets nod and ask you. "Welcome sir." "What type of room would you like sir?" "If you have any heavy luggage we can call a porter for you." Shotoken sighed and felt ready to vomit, but held back because he knew that it would just be a dry heave. "Whatever room has the best stocked fridge. I'm starving." "very good sir" "rooms have no food but we will do what we can" "Room 12, it is on this floor sire and very close to the dinning area..." Brian holds out the gold key with the room number on it smiling and waiting for you to take it. Shotoken grabbed the key, walking off and quickly finding his room. "Hopefully I can get something soon..." The chill in the wind caught her attention more than the sounds of battle all around. Standing in the far fields, watching the squire fights were usually entertaining to say the least, but not today. Today was more of an "Ok. I made it, now what do I do but vegetate" sort of day. Katlynn moved to the sideway and continued back to her car. "Hey, Aurora! Are you going to make it to the Drum Circle tonight?" Afriend yelled from the field, parrying a blow to the helm. "Nay, Samuel. I shall not be present. Perchance tomorrow eve, I may." She smiled. True it was usually hard to keep everyone straight on their SCA name, but she didn't have a problem. They were usually so easy. Hmmmm. Perhaps I should go to the Circle tonight. I really don't have anywhere else that I need to be. And at least it will be warmer by the fire than sleeping in the car again. Shutting the car door, she began the drive from the fields. Master and Mistress knows I can't handle it for much longer. Her mind was preoccupied when her eyes first registered the unique site. Almost upon it, her sight finally bullied her mind into acknowledging the form to the side...just passed Cooper's Field. A hotel. It seemed to be a slightly aged, stately figure cutting the horizon with its prescience. Something inside Katlynn wanted to go...craved to see more of this fascinating creature...but her mind screamed otherwise. "Run....run away fast and far...do not look back." The little voice from the back of her mind yelled loud enough to cause a headache. Unfortunately for it, her curiosity was never one to lose out in a fight. So as Katlynn pulled into the field in front of the hotel, her little voice whimpered from the closet her curiosity had locked it in. Sighing as she got out, the air around the place sent a delightful chill down her spine. Katlynn purred as she took her travel backpack out of her passenger seat. She took a few steps before she looked back at her car, wondering if she should grab her battle axe and crossbow from the trunk. Shaking her head, she continued into the hotel's doorway. They'll be safe there. No one will get them while I'm here. "Welcome to the Hotel California." *blink* "Umm...hi?" Katlynn came back to herself full force as she looked at the doorman just inside. Standing like a statue, he just looked at her with no response on his lips. "ooo-kay. " She breathed as she entered further into the little room. Spotting the desk, she stopped. Curious that three exact people would want to work HERE... Shaking her head, she ignored the whimpering comment from the closet of her mind. She stepped beside the other two at the desk. "Excuse me? Ummm. I don't have a reservation...but is there a way I may get a room?" *** "Between the storm and the lack of a decent path, it is almost as if someone REALLY does not wish for me to rest in a nice warm hotel," Andrew said to himself as he finally made it to the strange hotel's location. He burst through the door just as the clash of the sound of thunder bellowed out so loud it nearly felt like an earthquake. He did not notice, however, when that sound ceased suddenly as he entered the hotel and was greeted by the door man. "Welcome to the Hotel California." "umm... yeah.. Thanks." He walked up to the main desk just as one of the three attendants behind it was getting a key for the lady there. She gave an awkward look at him though he wasn't sure why. Finally for small talk he started, "Some storm out there hu....uh!?" It was then it finally hit him. Here was a lady that was just checking in, just like him, and yet there was not a single drop of rain on her. He, on the otherhand, was completely soaked and was still dripping. It was then he noticed the lack of the heavy pitter patter of the storm outside and its thunder..... *** "Lord, if you'll just show me someplace where I can at least get a decent meal, I'll call my Mom and tell her where I am...."Caige muttered, eyes cast up the now heavily clouded sky, threatening rain. She walked down the road a while longer until.."Thank you....." the lights were coming from the place up ahead. She moved as fast as she could, the pain in her left leg causing her to limp a bit as she did so. The lights were coming from a hotel it seemed. She walked up to the door and walked inside, closing the door behind her. Looking around, unaware she wasn't alone in the hall, she though" Wow its quiet in here....like there's no air...." "Welcome to the Hotel California" She jumped and look to her right to the doorman and nodded"Thanks.."She limped over to the counter and looked to the three men sitting there, feeling suddenly that something was very wrong here"Um.....Is there anyway I could get a room for the night.....anyplace will do.....and*she looks at the abrasions on her shoulder, arms and legs* You don't by any chance have a first aid kit do you?" **** “Hello there and welcome, your rooms are ready for you.” “Room 76 for Caige, room 430 for Andrew and room 44 for Katlyn.” “Caige please go to floor 2, a gentleman is just headed that way, Patrick Holland… he will show you the way.” “Andrew you are on the sixth floor” “Katlyn you are on this floor” The three hand over your keys and check you into the hotel. The elevators were right next to the stairs, Patrick walked over to them his backpack hanging at his side, he was just too tired to carry it now. He pushed the button to call the lift and leaned on the wall waiting. He could hear more guests coming in to check in; from the wall he had thought he would be the only guest here, all the keys had been still in place when he arrived. Patrick was glad to hear some people, been in a hotel this size alone would have been unbearable. The lift was moving very slow, and the moving dial showed it had to come from the top floor. If it was not here soon Patrick would fall asleep on the wall, he had been walking nonstop since he woke up two days ago and now was exhausted. He was starting to doze when he heard a sound. His head shot up and he looked about, he could not tell what it was he had heard been half asleep but he knew it was something out of place. He waited a moment and then he could hear it again, it was crying… two people…. A man and a small boy by the sound of it. “Hey is someone here?” He started to walk in the direction of the noise when it stopped; like a record put on pause it was so sudden. Pat was about to carry on investigating the noise when the lift bell rang and the doors opened. He shook his head and headed for the lift. **** {{OOC: edited to add Shadow's post}}} Cole's eyes darted around the room as she walked in, quickly taking in the location of any phones, windows, and other potentially important objects. It had become a habit for her after several other bad experiences in similar situations. After a moment or so, she relaxed slightly. The place seemed, more or less, safe. For the moment, at least. Wait, hadn't the old guy at the door said something to her? It probably wasn't important anyway. It would have registered it had struck her as important. Cole moved towards the front desk, stepping past a few of the other people checking in as she did so. "Any rooms available for one night?" |

| After driving around for much too long he decides to just rough it and sleep in his car or something. Just then he saw a massive mansion. Something about it seemed odd, but that he didn't spend too much time thinking about it. For if he had he would've realized that this wasn't here on the drive down, but he didn't. Upon driving closer he noticed that it was a hotel. "Well its better than sleeping in here, and from the looks of it would be better than any other inn in town." He drives up to the front of the building and gets out of the car. He opens the back door and grabs his things, an army duffel and cooler. He kicks shut the back door, presses the lock button on the front door and closes it. Then he turns and looks at the hotel. Neil walks up to the revolving door and makes his way inside. Upon which he is greeted by the doorman. "Welcome to the Hotel California" "Good morning.", says Neil, nodding to the doorman. He walked past the doorman and to the desk. Where he saw the 3 fat, triplets. "Now theres something you don't see every day", he thinks to himself. "Hi are there any rooms available?" |

| "Thank you... I guess," Andrew said to the triplet that handed him his key just as soon as he was about to ask about the storm to the lady and how she was not wet. In fact, in that very moment, he dropped that thought from his mind and asked the triplet that spoke, "How did you know my name?" The responce was just a very simple handgesture to Andrew's suitcase where, infact, his name was labeled as so: ANDREW S. DAWSON. "Ohyeah.... nevermind... Oh one more thing.... When do I pay for my room, right now or just before I leave?" One of the other triplets answered this one. "Oh don't worry.... We will give you the bill and you can pay when you are... able to check out." "Oh.... Well thanks..." and with that, Andrew headed off to the lift to drop off his things...... |

| *she looks around and spots the lifts, moving quickly to them, slipping into the one about to leave next to the older man who was already there, holding the key in her hand tightly. For some reason this place made her nervouse, as if something was watching her. This happened a lot, but never this bad. The man next to her seemed to have seen better days. Caige nods to him and stares down at the floor, keeping the silence as he seemed to have been listening for something* |

| Blinking at the comments of the twins, Katlynn was about to ask how they knew her, but was beaten to it by Andrew. Well that explains for him, but not me. Before she could try to ask again, she noticed the other girl had already limped to the lifts and headed up. Rats. Oh well, I'll go up to see her as soon as I stop by my room. At least I remembered my emergency kit this year. Katlynn quickly walked to her own room. Down the hall to the right, she finally found it. Inserting the key, she slowly opened the door. Something still nagged at the back of her mind, but still she ignored it. Katlynn closed her eyes for the sheer fun of it and walked in. Anyone on the first sloor near her room would have heard her gasp. It ....was.... GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! All the traditional furnature and light fixtures. Not an ounce of modern convience...just the way she LOVED it! Hurtling to the bed, she allowed herself a much satisfying pounce on its soft form. When she encountered the textures of the bed clothes, her purrs quickly revertebrated through the whole first floor. This wasn't a hotel....this was HEAVEN as far as she was concerned. |

| Shotoken opened the door to the room, and threw his minor amount of stuff to the ground. He'd have to wait for at least a little while till he could eat, but he was just fine with that as long as he eventually got a meal. he managed to find an outlet, and digging out his game console(modded SNES with screen attached) from his backpack, he plugged it in and turned it on. The strange thing was, it was all mirrored. "Well, that's weird." He turned it on and off a few times, but every time something else was wrong: Either the colors were inverted, the characters were moving randomly, or it was mirrored again. He finally just gave up and shoved it back in his backpack, sifting through and finding absolutely nothing. "Just great..." |

| “Welcome to the hotel, we have many rooms free fro you.” “Neil may have room 85 on floor 2” “Cole may have room 176 on floor 3” “Enjoy your stay here” “Check out any time you like” “You are going to die here!” The three smile and then go back to sitting at the desk waiting for new guests… Patrick held the elevator for a girl to come in, there was something odd about they way she was dressed… the materiel and style looked wrong to him… but he was not updated on fashion since he started wandering. It seemed they were on the same floor, both getting off and heading in the same direction, They had rooms next to each other it seemed. Patrick was about to say something when he saw a man at the end of the corridor, this guy was and old and had a hair style that Patrick did not think would be that gray for another five years on anyone, he had seen it when he was a kid sure… but the guy could not be that old by now. He was a cleaner that was sure, and compared to the twins he was normal enough. The cleaner looked at him and shook his head mumbling something Patrick could not hear. He was to tried, because he was sure that when the old man started to mumble the shadows behind him started to move… shake and swirl slightly and… his own seemed to be doing a different action to his body… while he was moving a hover the shadow looked like it the shadow was un-plugging it instead. Patrick looked to the girl next to him and asked her. “Do you see what I can… the shadows…” ooc:(Discipleofthedorkarts post, sorry i forgot to post it earlier.) inc: James stretched, he had just left LAX (LA airport for those who don't know), and was tired. His parent's home was a good few hundred miles away, and it was pushing midnight, he needed a place to stay. He pulled up to what looked like a half-decent if not old hotel, and parked his rented Toyota around the side. James walked briskly up to the front door, carrying his three bags. "Welcome to The Hotel California" Came a voice, the doorman had surprised him, and James took a step back. "How apropos." James said smoothly, regaining his wits, he stepped fully into the lobby, where the balmy humidity of Los Angeles disappeared, and was replaced with a temperate, dry feeling. It must have been the AC. "You don't by any chance have a first aid kit do you?" A young girl in front of James said. "Why yes, I actually do." he replied, stepping to her side, and into her view. "I'm a medical student, what seems to be the problem?" |

| (OOC: Alright... I'm gonna say this ahead of time to avoid removing myself from the RP. Either have him ask out names first or accept the fact that Cole is going to walk straight back out, or at least try to. If she finds the place is in the middle of nothingness, by the way, she's probably gonna flip out and kill people.) |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 2 2004, 08:10 PM |
| *she looked at him a bit shocked then a slight smile creeps over her lips as she nods,*I was gonna say something earlier......but I was a bit afraid you'd think I was on something.....*she seemed a bit less apprehensive now*did you hear it downstairs....like someone was crying....it stopped when I looked towards the hallway down from the lifts, but you seemed to hear it too...was that why you were looking down....*going quiet suddenly, she turns her head down the other end of the hall they are standing in, the sound of laughter having reached her, but it seemed there were too many voices for her to be comfortable with*kinda funny to have a party on a floor like this isn't it?....... |
| Posted by: Linden Rathan Jun 2 2004, 11:17 PM |
| Neil took his key, put it inside of a pocket, picked up his cooler and walked through the next door and into the main corridor. From the looks of this room the hotel was very nice indeed. One of those places that really tried to capture a setting. Much like Medieval Times. In front of him spanned a grand set of stairs that led to the next level. Right next to the stairs was an elevator with two people standing on the edge, making the door stay open, while looking down both hallways. Neil walked towards them and edged his way into the elevator bumbimg into them slightly. "hi, oh sorry. 'scuse me, sorry." He sighed and wondered at a small feeling of uneasiness. It stemmed from the last thing one of those things at the front desk said "You are going to die here" It seemed a very odd thing to say. Perhaps he meant it as in your going to die of excitement, or something like that...He noticed that they still hadn't moved inside, and leaned out to see what they were looking at. It was a cleaner that looked to be experiancing premature grayness. Nothing to really gawk at. Then Neil heard sounds and laughing, and voices. He whipped his head in the other direction where the girl was facing. "What is that?" |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 2 2004, 11:52 PM |
| *she looks to the young man who just walked up and shakes her head*Not sure....seems to be coming from close by though.....doesn't it seem a bit odd....sounds like a lot of people where ever they are.....but to have a party or gathering in the room instead of the dining room or something.... |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 3 2004, 03:42 AM |
| Shotoken eventually gave up on the idea of finding anything to keep him busy, and went downstairs to wander around the place a bit(let's assume he used the stairs or another elevator). Of course, he heard some odd sounds when he eventually ended up near an elevator with three other people. "So there are actually other people here, huh? Or did somebody just decide to hook up some kind of sound system to freak us out?" |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jun 3 2004, 03:42 AM |
| Patrick put his hand in his pocket and grabbed his Swiss army knife tightly, he had it with him more for protection then anything… been a wanderer is a dangerous life to live. “I think all the noise is coming from the dining room… but as far as I can tell the hotel is empty apart from us…” Patrick walked ahead and put an ear to the dining room door, he could hear the sounds of people talking, laughing and plates been rattled… a real celebration was going on in there by the sound of it. He was reluctant to open the door, but curiosity won over in the end and he swung the door open… and for just a moment he could see a party of people moving round, but they were gone a soon as he blinked, all there was left were a few waiters… could they have been making that much noise? |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 3 2004, 08:09 PM |
| *from behind Patrick* anyone there?*she looked around him and into the room, noticing the waiters, yet another chill with the lasting feeling that things in this place were definitly wrong* |
| Posted by: DiscipleOfTheDorkArts Jun 3 2004, 10:36 PM |
| James sat down in the dining room, slowly nursing his cup of coffee. He yawned, when he heard a nervous call: "Anyone there?" "Yeah, do you want somthing? [OOC]I thought I'd break the tension there, hehe. I'm back bitches, no more middle man! [/OOC] |

| Cole nodded to the triplets and took her room key, then looked around for anything marked 'stairs'. Pay when I leave? Only if you catch me. Even with three eyes watching the door, it should be a piece of cake to get out of here unnoticed. A few things, though, struck her as unusual about the place. The triplets - though she knew from experience, that people who spent lots of time with each other (siblings in particular) could finish each others sentence and almost think for each other. She winced sligthly at the thought. Their comment about dying, too, seemed unusual. But then again, the triplets didn't seem too terribly intelligent either. The third unusual thing that she noted was the disproportionate number of people running between the elevator and the dining room door. The first of which was starting to close as Cole neared. WHAM Cole's hand hit the edge of the elevator door in a fist as it started to close, and it slid back open. She unfolded her hand over the door as it did so, and held it open from the outside as she turned to the group that was whispering and gossiping near the dining room door. "Hey, unless you kids want to use the stairs or wait for the elevator to come back, get over here now!" Her voice carried just a trace of irritation. But then again, it always did when she was talking to someone she wasn't actively trying to con anything out of. |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 3 2004, 11:28 PM |
| *recognizing the voice from earlier, it had offered her help but she had dismissed it as the black noise she'd been hearing, the crying, she looks in at James and quirks an eye slightly* anyone else in here when you came in? |
| Posted by: DiscipleOfTheDorkArts Jun 3 2004, 11:39 PM | ||
"No, just me. Why are you all out and about anyway" James checked his watch, "it's definitely pretty late..." He drained his cup to the dregs, stood up, and said "Well, I guess I'll turn in for tonight, room 418 if you need anything... |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 4 2004, 12:17 AM |
| *she nodded but hesitated, looking him over, the relization hitting her, the thought flashed through her mind"He's not dressed like a lot of the people you saw....come to think of it, neither are the others. This guy looks like he should be in Los Angeles or New York, a big city of some sort....."* " Sir...I hate to bother you, but could I have the time....*this could be considered an odd question since she has a watch around her wrist*" |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jun 4 2004, 03:45 AM |
| “Hmmm my watch has stopped… buts it a cheap thing I bought for a few pounds, nothing I would expect to work for more then a week.” Patrick took of the watch and put it in his pocket, no need for it now but he never threw anything away… he had to little to do that. He was not really concerned with the time, it was late and that was enough for him… what he was concerned with was the fact this place sounded full then was empty. Maybe he was just to tired… but the girl had heard it too. Patrick could not deal with this weird stuff so late at night, he needed sleep badly… and hell even if the place is haunted ghosts cant hurt you, and he was here for only one night. |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 4 2004, 06:15 AM |
| Shotoken watched as everybody prepared to go to bed, and just sort of leaned against the wall. "Something about this place is weird...First my super nintendo decides to die on me, then all those weird noises. I'm beginning to wonder just what the hell we've let ourselves get into." |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 4 2004, 01:45 PM |
| *sighs and closes her eyes"your tired and you need sleep"that little voice in her head said, and she knew it was right.*I'm goint to bed...this is too much to handle right now.....*she turns and walks back down the hall to her room, sliding the key in the lock and going inside.* The room hit her as a shock, it was just the same as her room at home, though much bigger, it was decorated the same with the same bedclothes and everything! Caige moved in and sat down on the bed, ignoring the aching sore sensation that was lingering in her legs and side, laying back, she fell asleep almost immediatly, only allowing herself time to notice a shadow of someone in the bathroom, standing in front of the sink, fading out as she closed her eyes. |

| Patrick went to his own room, not expecting very much after what he had told the guys on desk. A grand room greeted him; a huge bed… feather by just a look… the furniture was… hyper modern to say the least. Patrick found a TV with a remote control so small it fitted completely in a closed fist, it was large enough for more furniture he had in his old apartment and still have room to get around. There was a bathroom with gold taps and pearl plug… how could he afford this? He marked everything; he would of course leave with as much as he could to help pay for his next stop. It was as he was looking round the bathroom he looked in the mirror and saw a horror in the reflection, his own face… but it was rotted… nearly no flesh and all bone, his hair just a few strands and blood flowing like tears for large empty eye sockets. The image was too much for him and he ran to the toilet vomiting what little he had in his stomach. After he was done retching Patrick looked back and saw only his normal reflection. He was to damn tired that had to be it, he just crawled to the bed and fell onto of it. He closed his eyes and went to sleep without getting changed. |

| Cole watched as the people who had been standing at the door to the dining room scattered like human-shaped, hyperactive cockroaches suddenly exposed to light. She sighed to herself and stepped into the elevator, pressing the button for the third floor. She sighed and leaned against the back of the elevator as it jolted, then began it's ascent. Something stuck in her mind that the elevator felt more like it was descending, but it didn't much matter. If someone in the basement had called the elevator, she could wait. ding Cole opened her eyes. Third floor, maybe she was more tired than she'd thought. She stepped out of the elevator and looked around for a moment, then started walking down the hallway and looking at the room numbers. She frowned. What the hell is this? They're all out of order. She reached the end of the hallway and sighed, then turned around and walked back to the other end of the building. She finally found her room and unlocked the door, stepping in and looking around. Shit. And this is a four-hundred room hotel? It's apparent size from the outside was deceiving. The room would have been a presidential suite at a normal hotel, and here it was only a single-bed room. She shrugged and stepped inside, unhooking her backpack from one arm and tossing it on the foot of the bed. She leaned over and untied her knife from the right arm strap, and re-hooked it through one of the belt buckles on her pants. Then she looked at the door to the bathroom. "Lo, and what horrors shall await me henceforth, and all that other Shakespearean shit? I need to make sure the place is a trashbin first next time." If they catch me sneaking out, I'm probably not going to be able to pay... Cole shrugged the thought off and continued to stare at the bathroom door for a moment. She never liked strange places, which basically amounted to everywhere she went. But, that's why I have my knife. Cole chuckled to herself as she picked up her pack and headed into the bathroom. She was, after all, starting to smell a bit... unusual. Even the bathroom seemed elegant. The sinktop was probably marble, and the shower/bath had an embroidered shower curtain. Embroidered. She was momentarily surprised nobody had stolen it, then remembered that she wasn't in a roach hotel. She sighed and set her pack down on the seat of the toilet, pulling out one of her spare sets of clothes. She looked into the mirror for a moment, then whirled as her knife snaked outand came up, pointing at the curtain. She paused a moment and pushed the curtain to one side. Afterwards, she put her knife back and rubbed her eyes. Don't tell me I'm sick, too. |

| Neil walked inside of his room and looked around. It was nice to say the least. In fact it seemed too nice. Then he looked at the bed and felt like sleep. "well no matter how nice the room is, it has a bed and that's all that matters right now." Before sleep though he decided to look around his room a bit. There was no TV in his room as the triplets had said, but he did find an empty fridge set down where a TV would be. "Well thats conveniant" He opened the cooler and stocked the fridge with all 24 bottles of Bawls. After setting the cooler at the side of the fridge he turned and looked at the room once more. "I wonder what I'll do when the matter of pay comes up. Maybe I'll get someone to wire me some money" The bathroom looked amazing as Neil walked in. The bathroom had marble counter, gold sink. The shower curtain was...silk? He walked over and pushed back the shower curtains and saw a plastic curtain on the inside. The mirror was above the sink in 3 large parts. He walked over and tried to see if any were cabinets. One was, and he opened it. Inside it was completely pitch black, no little shelves or anything. He put his hand inside and felt what must've been a wall. Then what might have been a finger hand, or something ran along his. Neil quickly pulled his hand out and shut the cabinet, then opened it again. It was normal with shelves and a little light that came on at the top. He closed it again and walked out of the bathroom to his bed, very confused. In moments he was in boxers and crawled into bed, deciding to just sleep it off. Soon after, he was sound asleep. |

| *hours later now, she jolts awake with a cry of pain, falling off the bed and onto the floor, clutching her leg.The muscles had tensed and cramped a while, leaving her almost screaming from it. After it passed she stood and headed for the bathroom, grabing a shower and letting the heat calm her down. She got out and wrapped a towel around her, taking in the surroundings. She sink was marble, with one large mirror over it. The walls were shale tile and the floor matched in a dark grey. As she picked up her hair brush, again she felt eyes on her. Looking towards the door her eyes widend and she gasped in surprise. A man stood there, clear as day, with several gunshot wounds on his face, still bleeding. It lasted only a second, fading quickly at the sound of her cry.* Okay...this place has serious problems....*she quickly dried off and dressed, slipping from her room to go wandering, hoping she might run into another living person* |

| James awoke to the sound of screaming. He slipped on his robe, and took his flashlight, and a long-bladed scalpel from his medical kit. It couldn't hurt to be careful. He took a deep breath and cracked his door open, his other hand in his pocket, resting on the scalpel. The same girl from before, Caige, was walking down the hall. "Is everything alright? I heard screaming." "Thank God I found you! I was hoping I'd run into another living person." "Living?" What do you mean? Are you sure you're okay?" [OOC} It might be an interesting scenario if Caige asks for "somthing to relax" as she knows James is a medical student, and likely saw his tranqulizers in his medkit. [/OOC] |

| looks to the floor, a bit embarrased that someone had heard her, she starts out with the stammering reply "I just got a bit of a shock....and if it was earlier it was me as well...my leg cramped up....it's been happening since.....since a few days ago....I'm sorry if I woke you up." she tells him what she saw in the doorway to the bathroom a few moments before, still seeming rather shaken by it |

| "You really saw a dead body, and then it vanished?! You sound like you could be delusional, have you used any drugs or alcohol lately? Has this happened to you before? Step into my room, I'll check you over more thoroughly." A loud creak reverberated through the hallway, far worse than anything that could be caused by a loose floorboard. James plunged his hand into his pocket, nicking hte back of it on his scalpel, a flesh wound. "What the fuck was that?" |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 5 2004, 12:22 AM |
| looks at him, a bit curious "I didn't hear anything.....are you su.."a second creck reverberated towards them "That, I heard...."pushes him back into his room, moving in behind him,closing the door quickly, using a sarcastic tone"Now that you've heard that, no I haven't done anything in three months, as for the alchohol I'm not old enough to drink. Any other questions, Doc?" |

| It was the best nights sleep he had for weeks, since he had been able to sleep at a hostel… since then he had been sleeping in the small bag he had with him. Now feeling better then ever, he got up and went to the bathroom where he started a shower and got undressed for it. This was a luxury, a hot shower… with some expensive soaps and shampoo. He cleaned himself up, and using the scissors on his Swiss army knife he gave his hair a little trim, so it at least looked neat. Then he shaved, using a manual razor he found in the cabinet and even had time to wash his clothes in the sink so they did not stink, and died them with the hair dryer. Now he looked like he felt, he might even be able to get a part time job in the next town if he looked like this. He left the room, his bag filled with the best stuff he found in the room ready to use or sell, as he needed. The keys jangled in his hand as he started down the corridor, but then he heard the loud creaking noise. He stopped dead in his tracks and listened, his every nerve standing on end his ears straining for noise. For a moment nothing but then the creak again, and this time it was followed by breathing… no panting like a large dog. Patrick slowly turned round and looked down the corridor to see that a strange shadow was coming round the corner… it was huge and misshapen… the only word that came to his mind was “Cerberus” The dog that guards Hades. The shadow did not stay just an absence of light, as the thing casting it came round; it was as big as Patrick even on all fours. Black skin with a disarray of muscles that made no sense and no eyes he could see. Patrick now did a very silly thing, he went tharn… as a kid he read “Watership down” and in it rabbits did just what he did, froze in fear and they called it going tharn. Now he was a rabbit caught in the headlights… and all he could do was look right back at the car. The beast stayed still for a short time, but then like a bull it charged at him at full speed, screaming like it was in pain. Patrick was suddenly able to move again and he screamed, he screamed for all he was worth as he pulled out his pocket knife opened the blade and rolled to one side trying to cut at the beast, but he felt nothing but air. He looked and saw nothing; there was no monster and no sign it had ever been here. He just fell back on the wall, his body trembling as his mind tried to cope with what he had just seen. |

| "Fuck it." James muttered to himself, he was scared and confused. "I say we go find out what it is, give me a minute to get dressed." He shed his robe, and slipped into a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, and a photographer's vest (the kind with many pockets and pouches) He then took all of his scalpels and other blades, and put them in easy-to-reach pockets. Sampling more from his medpak, he then took guaze, disenfectant and some injectors of high-dosage stimulants and painkillers. He needed to be ready for anything. "Ok, lets find out what the hell is going on here, mabye we can meet up with some more guests. |

Inc: “That’s it, I am out of here” Patrick picked up the bag he had dropped, and flicked back the knife putting it in his pocket, but keeping a hand on it ready to draw it out again. He could not blame what he just saw on lack of sleep, he felt like he had slept for days, and it felt far to real to be anything else. Patrick was not going to spend another second in this place. He went over to the lift and pressed the call button and waited for the lift to arrive. |

And it even fits perfectly with the setting!) Cole carefully slid her knife knife sheath off of the showerhead, and tossed it onto the sink counter as she stepped out of the shower. Without warning, a piercing scream echoed through the halls. "What the hell was that?" Cole quickly dressed, then stuffed her dirty clothes into her backpack and re-fastened her knife to the right strap. She slung the pack over her shoulders again and headed into the bedroom, then to the door. Knocking? Why would someone be knocking at my door? Cole put a handle on the doorknob and turned it, pulling slightly as she stepped backwards. Of course, nobody was at the door. [i]Huh. Must've just been footsteps from the people upstairs or something. Cole was nonetheless careful as she poked her ehad out the doorway, looking both ways before stepping out and moving towards the elevator. She took a few long steps as she saw the number display on the top start to lower, and pressed the button a few moments before it reached her floor. It stopped, and she stepped in. She pressed the button for the second floor, then leaned against the back of the elevator and waited for it to continue it's descent. |

| The elevator came down slowly; opening to reveal that inside was a girl he had not seen before, another guest. “If you’re going down so am I…. And I seriously recommend you check out with me… there is something not right here.” Patrick was still shaking slightly from his last experience at the hotel, and he was planning it to be the very last experience to do with the hotel. |

| Shotoken fell out of his bed and suddenly shot up from the ground. He had had a strange, twisted nightmare: Something was chasing him, and he was powerless to fight back. He had run for hours, until eventually he had collapsed in exhaustion. Whatever it was brought him within an inch of his life and was about to deal the final blow, when he woke up. "What a fucked up dream... At least it's over" He worked his way out of the covers he was tangled up in, then opened the door to his hotel room and walked out. He wasn't sure why, but something was bugging him, a little voice in the back of his head that said" Run fool! You know not your peril!".He eventually got the voice to shut the hell up, but what he didn't know was that he should have listened to it...that is, if he could have..... OOC: Cliffhangers galore! |

| A small sound traced along Katlynn's mind. With a yawn, she sat up and walked to the tiny crib near the window still more than half asleep. "Hush, little one. I'm here. There's no need to cry." Putting her hand in, she touched a cold, still form. Her eyes widened as she stared at the baby in the crib. Blue. That was the first thing that registered...and several teeth. The creature gave another cry and moved its little stubbed arms...no hands...just arm and the whimpering! Flailing back with a scream stuck in her throat, Katlynn tried to move from the crib...but hit something. Equally cold...and sticky. She didn't want to turn around...she really didn't. Cold icy gusts started down her neck as the stickiness ran down her back. Then...it...moved. Two stumps rested upon her shoulders, blood racing down, just out of the corner of her eyes. "Welcome back, my love." SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! Katlynn bolted to the door. Turning, she looked behind her to see if she was followed. Nothing. *blink* *blink* Was it all a dream? She thought, hand on the knob. Thinking better about it, she left in search of relaxation and to calm her nerves. as she passed the elevators, she jumped as the ding sounded. A man and a girl were standing in it. "Ummm...hi?" |
| Posted by: ShadowForm Jun 8 2004, 12:56 AM |
| Cole looked at Patrick as he stepped into the elevator along with another girl and gave his warning. "So, I take it that you were the one who was screaming a little bit ago. Alright, as long as you leave I can stay and get some sleep." The elevator stopped at the ground floor, and yet another somebody seemed to be waiting for the elevator. They seemed almost friendly, even. Cole waved. "Hey, how you doing. Going up?" |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jun 8 2004, 04:50 AM |
| Patrick got off the lift practically jogging to get out, going strait to the check in desk. He saw the triplets were not there, he looked round for them but saw nothing. Well it would not be the first time he skipped paying, Patrick left his key on the desk and started for the door, the doorman seeing he was on his way out said. “I would recommend you stay, it’s so nice here.” Patrick just ran past him and went through the spinning doors. When he was out side he did not see the road he had come in on, the large fields on the sides… he saw nothing. It was as blackness, never-ending blackness and the ground was not tarmac but now seemed like ices, perfectly smooth. Patrick looked around and saw nothing but the hotel still standing there. He took a few steps forward but there was nothing. He stood there looking at the abyss for a while, but eventually he had no choice but to go back into the hotel. As he did the doorman once again greeted him. “Welcome to the hotel California” Patrick just sat down there in the check in room, he suddenly felt like everything was crashing down around him… and all he wanted to do was lie down and sleep again… and wake up out of the nightmare. |

| Neil opened his eyes and found himself to be face to face with the ceiling. He panicked and tried to move, yet couldn't. When he looked to see what was holding him in place it was 4 ghostly women, all smiling at him. "Let me down!" They shook their heads. Then without warning they flipped him over so that he was now looking down at the bed below him. "Please let me down?!" All 4 of them smiled and nodded. Just as he felt relieved he looked back to the bed and saw that spikes had come up out of it. "Wait, No!!!" Their smiles became wider and he could see long sharp teeth, and their eyes became red. They began laughing and let go of him. The drop was very short, but to him it felt like forever. In that small space of time he thought of his life. The people, places, and things he loved. The spikes went straight through him....... His eyes darted open and he leapt from the bed landing in a heap on the floor. He felt where the spikes went through on his chest and looked to the bed. Nothing was there but sheets and blankets. Breathing came out heavily. That was the most horrifying dream he had ever experienced. The dream felt so real, it was almost hard to believe that it wasn't. Being thirsty he walked to the fridge and took out one of the Bawls. After twisting off the cap he took a few gulping drinks, depleting half the bottle, and sat down in a chair. He had once heard that all dreams had a meaning of some sort. whatever this dream meant though, it certainly couldn't be good. There was a battle going on inside of him, one side felt like leaving while the other was yearning for him to stay. Wondering what time it was, he got up and walked over to the small table near the bed where he set his watch. It was about the same time he had noticed the hotel earlier, which it couldn't have been. That was odd, this watch had never stopped before. He tried to piece together the time. At this point it was probably some time in the late morning, a play should be starting soon. Walking over to his duffel he pulled out a pair of blue camo pants, and a matching shirt with the sleeves cut off. He got dressed quickly. He took the bottle with him and walked into the hallway. He walked down until he reached the stairs and elevator. Since he remembered how long the elevator took,and dind't really feel like waiting, he walked down the stairs since it was only 1 flight down to the 1st floor. He walked down the stairs while taking a sip of his drink. Then he opened the door to the lobby taking note that the triplets weren't there. He looked around really quick to see of they were anywhere then stopped, becasue he figured they wouldn't be that hard to miss. Then he saw the man sitting, nodded, and walked to the revolving doors. |

"Uh....no. I was just walking around trying...trying to get a little fresh air." Her nerves were really shot, but she gave a weak smile to the girl. Turning, Katlynn started to walk further past the elevator. Looking at her passing, Cole noticed the long, reddish-black stain down Katlynn's back...and it seemed to be...growing. Bending down, she saw the faint trail where Katlynn had passed. Cole put her hand down. It felt like blood...it smelled like blood...hence her mind made the logical jump. |

| having abandonded James up on the fourth floor, she walked down the stairwell, finding that the elevator wasn't responding. She was getting out, but first needed to get her bag from her room. Reaching the landing between the third and second floors, she heard it again, the laughing sounds, getting closer as she neared the second floor. Walking down the hall the noise stopped again and she ran to her room, this was getting to be too much As she gathered her clothing from the bathroom and located her books something moved behind her. Turning her head quickly, there was nothing there, so she returned to her pack, but something told her to look again. Turning fully her breath caught a second before turning into a scream, the guy with the gunshots in the face was back and this time he had a friend, a woman, her throat slashed to bloody ribbons along with her face and most of her chest, like someone had just been slicing blindly at her. Stumbling backwards, she fell against a glass top table, the edge cutting into her leg, drawing blood as she landed, continuing to scream as the two advanced on her |
| Posted by: ShadowForm Jun 8 2004, 09:10 PM |
| Cole sniffed the blood and shook her head, and then hit the button for the third floor and waited for the doors to close. By her estimation, the girl was on PCP or some similar 'Invincible' drug and didn't realize she'd been stabbed. It had to hae been a stab wound of some kind - the bleeding was too small for a gunshot. Teenagers, druggies, and gangers. The owner of this place is gonna be pissed off once he finds out what's been going on in here. Another scream. Followed, in short order, by another. She smiled to herself, and shook her head. With all this racket, even if the owner caught her sneaking out in the morning she could just say that she was kept up by the screaming fools all night long and still get out of paying. With that fact in mind, they weren't quite as annoying as she walked back to her room. |

| those horrid things disappeared just before reaching her, in a panic and not feeling the injury to her other leg she bolted, grabing her bag and running from the room, key in hand, dashing for the stairwell. She stopped herself however, speaking softly to herself "Okay...just calm down a little...those things didn't get you and neither will anything else...just sit down and take a deep breath, and then we'll leave...." Sitting down on the stairs, blood running from the cut and soaking into the carpeting beneath her, she took a few breaths and closed her eyes, trying to stop shaking but being unsuccessful. Caige stood, walked down the stairs and to the door, seeing another had the same idea, using the regular door ignoring the doorman“I would recommend you stay, it’s so nice here.” , and stopped short, seeing nothing but pitch black infront of her..... |

| “There’s nothing out there, I already looked… it seems like we are stuck here.” Patrick said from the revolving doors, he could not quite bring himself to go out into the darkness again. “You might as well come back in, I am going to get some food… try to figure out what’s going on here.” Patrick turned back round and started in the direction of the dining room. |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 9 2004, 10:08 AM |
| Shotoken just leaned against the wall and watched. he had come down without anybody noticing, not like people ever noticed him or gave a crap about his existance anyways. "Whatever the fuck is going on around here, it's not going to be pretty. IF you've got any kind of weapon, I reccomend carrying it around with you. If this is just halucinations or ghosts or something, we just have to not get scared shitless. But, if what we're dealing with is something that's physically there, it's always good to have something to hack and slash with." He was somewhat surprised at his own words. he very rarely spoke like that, preferring to just survive on his own and let everyone else just die without him. "If you've got a problem with that, feel free to not listen to me, but don't expect to be around tommorrow morning, and don't expect me to come if you start crying for help." |
| Posted by: Linden Rathan Jun 9 2004, 08:57 PM |
| "Theres nothing out there, I already looked… it seems like we are stuck here.” “You might as well come back in, I am going to get some food… try to figure out what’s going on here.” Neil watched as the man walked out of the room and headed for the dining room "Well whats to be expected? There's not much in Ashland anyway" As he went near to the door he heard the voice of the doorman. "I would suggest that you stay, its so nice here." Neil nodded. "Well it is nice, but I have better things to do than sit around in a hotel all day." With that he walked outside and was stunned by what he saw, or didnt see. All around him was pitch black, darker than anyother night he had seen. He looked up to see that there was no clouds, moon, or stars. The only thing that seemed to even exist was the hotel. What had happened? Where was he? The fear he was experienceing felt unreal. "OK, im sure this can be explained...somehow." There was no plausible explanation though, this was real. He bent down to touch what he was standing on. It felt smooth, like marble, but he was sure it wasn't any known thing. He turned and looked up at the hotel. On the top floor a light shone, and Neil could barely make out a figure that looked to be of human shape. Suddenly there was a noise behind him. He turned and focused, trying to hear. They were footsteps starting in a walk, bu then coming faster and faster. Something was running straight for him. No time was wasted. Neil ran back into the hotel and looked to the doorman "Welcome to Hotel California". Something was very odd about him, this place. He wanted some answers. "Listen here door greeter, I want to know what the hell is going on right now" The doorman just stood rigid, looking ahead and not responding in any way. He sighed and walked out of the room to the dining hall, figuring there's not much to do at this point. |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 9 2004, 10:09 PM |
| turned and went back inside, that hopeless feeling was setting in again "Welcome to Hotel California"......"shut up" she walked down the hall after Neil, passing him and walking into the dining room, sitting down at one of the tables, putting her head down in her hands"this place just doesn't make any sense.....where did the road go....where the hell did Joplin go for that matter......" |

| Bing Cole eyed the numerical display at the top of the elevator for a moment before she stepped outside. Maybe it was just her, but the mechanical bell seemed to sound strange. It was probably just old - the entire place had an archaic feel to it, from the front desk to the rooms and even the trash bins sitting outside the elevator. And I can still smell that druggie's blood. This place is a lot crappier than I first thought. Footsteps. Cole tilted her ear slightly as she heard feet padding against the carpet behind her - nothing to worry about. The pace was relaxed - either an extremely experienced attacker, in which case she was as good as dead anyway, or an ordinary person on their way to a room or something. Cole sighed to herself and shook her head. I'm getting too damn paranoid... It was, perhaps, fortunate for her that she didn't turn around. Both of her assumptions were incorrect - there was no attacker, no tourist, or anyone at all. Just the footsteps on the floor following behind her as she went to her room. |

| Shotoken pushed off the wall with a slight arching and de-arching(is that even a word?) of his back, then yanked his small knife out of his pocket and flipped the blade itself out. he always felt more comfortable with the blade for some reason, probably just because he could fight back. He wasn't that strong, and he wasn't that fast either. His only advantage in a fight was his resourcefullness and the ability to leave any ally behind whether he cared about them or not. Some people would just say he was emotionless, but he prefferred to consider it keeping his own ass alive and worrying about everybody else after that. "Not like it matters. If this turns into a blood fest, I'm not goin' down without a fight." He was mostly talking to himself, as he usually did when he didn't give a crap about what was around him and would have preferred that it all rotted in hell. he was a very anti-social person, no doubt about that. He hated people, and stayed far away from cities unless he needed something that he couldn't catch or steal. "oh well, I've got more important crap to focus on." He eventually made his way to the dining room and managed to get his hands on some food without just snagging somebody else's and imbedding his knife in their skull, as he wolfed it down without even sitting, left the plate on...something, he wasn't about to look if it was a table or a chair or anything else, as he left again and began to wander around, hoping his mind would begin to function again properly and he could find a way out of this mess. |

| There was a whole table full of drinks, some soft and some hard… he had not had a real drink in a while due to budget issues… and right now he needed a strait head. He moved past the bottles and grabbed the coffee, there were plenty of pots and he took one along with a cup. Sitting down at a table he began to drink. It was a strong, dark brew and instantly he began to feel better. Now doing something rational and everyday he could think a little. The situation as it seemed was he was in a haunted hotel, with a few guests and outside was now an endless nothing… he needed to get out and it was doubtful he would make it out alone. He would need help, he doubted the staff would help him, they seemed as creepy as the hotel… so that left the guests… and they did not seem that much. This would need some thinking. |

| she sat for a while before sitting up straight, pushing her hair out of her eyes and sighing she stood and moved to the drink table, getting herself a glass of orange juice. She downs the juice and waits a while, letting it take effect, clearing her head a bit so she could think, but since nothing here was making sense she decided to just go back out to the lobby for a while, noticing that the triplets weren't there, no one but the same doorguy who was there last night. "It's official...this place blows...."she sits down in the hall with her pack next to her, head down on her knees |

| *Walking up a trail to the top of a mountain sweat dripping down from his face and chest, the sun glaring down on his body he removes his cap and wipes his brow slowly and puts it back on.* "Phew this is a tougher treck then last weekend." *Grabbing his water bottle he takes a small gulp from it and recaps it and puts it back among his gear and continues to walk up the trail, his staff beside him helping him out every stop he suddenly turns a bend and the trail begins to widen.* "What the he-" *As he continued to walk he noticed the hotel from a distance sitting there up on a trail moutain. When the hell was this built up here? Walking up to the hotel he looks in the window in the front lobby and notices a man standing near the door.* "Ahh well I shouldn't waist this kind of chance to sleep on a nice soft bed." *although he was feeling cool and calm his mind knew something was wrong, why was a hotel up here in the mountains? Especially on a trail? Wasn't that illegal or something...ruining the natural habitat.* *Walking in the man next to him says Welcome to the Hotel California .* "errr...thanks" *Something was weird about that man and it suddenly hit him as he walked up to the counter of the ugly looking triplets, he never moved just stood there all stiff like a brick wall. shaking his head he tried to forget it and asked for a room.* |

| Patrick had left the dinning room when he heard the doors of the hotel opening again. He worried the girl had gone out again, and he felt getting lost in the darkness would be all too easy. He saw that the young girl was fine, but another guest had arrived. Patrick sighed as he saw him; fresh meat… and the triplets were not even there to welcome him… “Welcome to the hotel California… you walk in On the road to Oxford and you walk out into endless darkness… sorry to say but your stuck here just like us…now lets see.” Patrick jumped over the desk and went to the wall of keys; he grabbed one from the second floor while grabbing his old key. “Here you go mate, room number 100, second floor with us… might as well have a room while your stuck here.” He chucked the new key to the new guest and jumped back over the desk again. |
| Posted by: Calim Jun 11 2004, 06:16 AM |
| *Grabbing the key in mid-air he looked at it then looked back up.* "What do you mean I'm stuck here just like you? Can't you guys get out of here?" *Walking to the nearby elevator he pressed the button the points up and put his backpack on the floor waiting for the man to talk and the elevator* |

| Shotoken had overheard the conversation and came from around a corner he had been on the other side of in his wandering. "Sorry buddy, we're all stuck. If we're lucky we'll find a way out of this mess, but I doubt it. All I can reccomend is to keep a knife with ya if you have one, and not to let some of the weird things that are happening freak ya out." Shotoken had his backpack with him, so he yanked out his portable for the second time and plugged it in, trying it a few times until it eventually ran perfectly. "Ah yeah! Got the sucker to work!" And at that point, he just played and played and played. If there was one thing that could let his brain function, it was a round of gaming goodness. |

| As he looked into the dining room he saw the drinks and decided that it would probably be better to not be intoxicated while in this situation. So Neil walked back down the hall and up the stairs, passing the people gathered at the elevator. Upon reaching his level he walks down the hallyway and into his room. Reaching down he grabs his duffle off the floor and takes out his portable DVD player. He then digs through the bag and takes out all the contents. After that he walks over to the fridge, and gets out a bawls. Then puts in Kill Bill and begins to watch the movie. |

| Patrick looked at the device Shotokun was using in disbelief, he had seen games systems and they were nothing like this… not even a full sized computer could do something like that… true he was not up-to-date with technology but he did not miss that much. “Where in the heck did you get a thing like that… the thing ‘aint pixilated… hell its got more then three colors… something that advanced belongs in the year 2000… Don’t tell me that someone built that recently… its like something from star trek… not from 1985…” Patrick had the bad feeling on what the answers would be. |

| Katlynn continued to wonder the halls. First the main floor, then to the second and third. Nothing strange happened through all her wonderings; finally she reached the fourth floor. The carpet stood stark against the walls. For some reason the dark red of the carpert washed appeared washed out. At least until she took her first steps off the stairs and the squish sounded. It was flooded. Wrinkling her nose, she tread carefully down the hall. As she walked, laughter drifted down to her. Many voices raised in song joining the den. Katlynn slowly walked to the door and listened. They were definietly coming from here. Quietly, she pushed it open...nothing. Nobody was there?! "HUh?" She whispered, entering slowly. A great library spanned the room, but not a single book sat upon the shelves. Katlynn moved closer. Dolls. Hundreds upon hundreds of them. Each smiling an innocent...evil smile. Katlynn shivered as she walked among the shelves. Something was not right here. When she had just gotten past the fourth bookcase, a footstep sounded behind her. Turning, there was noone there. Only a little maid doll stood next to the bookcase. *blink* "What are you doing down here? I thought..." Shaking her head, Katlynn walked back to the little doll. "No matter. Where do you belong, little one? You may get hurt here on the floor." She picked her up and looked at the little thing. Was it her imagination, or did it just smile? No. It had to be a trick of the lights. She was about to open her mouth when another set of footsteps rang behind her. Another twirl, and there stood two other dolls. WAIT just a minute!!! Those weren't down there just a moment before!!! Her shiver got worse as she took a step back. "W....what is g...going on here?" A movement in her hands pulled her attention back to the little maid. Who grinned even more. "We want to play." It said, opening it's mouth, full of sharp teeth. Biting down, blood flowed freely to the floor...where other dolls streamed off the shelves and started lapping it up. Screaming, Katlynn slung her hand and the clining little maid away from her. The others hissed, glaring with red eyes at her. Advancing, the tried to surround her, but Katlynn kicked out as she ran to the door. Without hesitation, she opened it and raced out. Slamming the door behind her. Katlynn didn't stop running until she'd reached the first floor and ran into one of the guys standing infront of them. |

| she picked up her bag and slung it over her shoulder, moving over towards Patrick and Philip, feeling it might be best to stay with others, even if it was just for confermation that she wasn't insane. She moved over and leaned on the wall next to the lifts, watching the others |

| Shotoken paused his game and looked at patrick. "What the hell are you talking about? The console was made in the early 1990s, and the screen was made sometime around the year 2000, four years ago." Then, it hit him like a ton of bricks. "As far as I can tell, some of us are from different time periods. I'm from the year 2004, and judging by your reaction to my super nintendo with a screen attached, your from 1985. Am I right?" OOC: AND IT'S SHOTOKEN, not shotokun! GET IT RIGHT PEOPLE! |

| “It cant be 2004… I did not miss 20 years in this place.” Patrick went over to a small stand of newspapers and picked up one of them and started reading aloud. “’The Daily Yak’…. Dated…’what does the dates matter to the dead?’… top story… “Blah, blah, blah, blah, yak, blah, the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain, blah…it goes on for a while like that…” Patrick turned over a page and the next thing he saw shocked him… “ This story how ever….’new guests arrive looking for rest… find death instead… Shotoken found dead eaten by loveable triplets…. He will be missed. Andrew Scott Dawson found dead in room killed by demons, such a loss…. Patrick Holland killed by Chef in argument, what a waste…. Caige Renee Whitewood murdered in her sleep, no one cares…. Katlynn Tyler lost to the void, staff grieve for her…. Cole and Neil where found in today’s stew, they tasted delicious… Still reading are you Patrick, well if you are tell the other guests their horoscopes won’t be to good…. Love The Manager… related stories page 3 to 60.” Patrick dropped the paper and sat on the desk, he was feeling sicker then ever before in his life. |

| Cole sat quietly on the bed in her room, arms crossed behind her head and body spread out on top of the covers. She looked like just a normal person at that moment. To a casual observer, at least. Cole sighed and sat up, then scanned the darkened room briefly. She couldn't get to sleep. She'd felt like people were watching her... She'd developed that in the time she'd been away from home. She could almost tell when someone's eyes were on her. This time, however, was... There were no eyes, anywhere. She could see that her door was still closed - and the tape she'd put on it still intact - and there was no window. She could feel someone watching her, but had no idea where it could be from. She shrugged and pushed herself out of bed, picking up her backpack from the floor and slinging it over her back re-tying her knife sheath onto the strap. She'd taken it off and slipped it into her pillow out of habit. She thought about the state of her life as she walked to the door, and chuckled to herself. I would have never beleived that this would be how I turned twenty one. If only mom... She paused at the door. ...mom could see me now. There was a moment of silence in the room. "Shit. Now I'm pissed off again already. It's gonna be a bad day." She opened the door and strode into the hall, then headed for the elevator. If she couldn't sleep for free, she might as well eat for free. |

| Shotoken sighed calmly, focusing most of his attention on finding those idiotic triplets if they came by so he could cut them into little tiny pieces. "Time is irrelevant in this place, we're all stuck here and supposed to die, but there's some way out that will inevitably involve slicing, dicing, shooting, and just generally killing hordes of sick and twisted creatures, all while protecting our sanity, only to eventually meet up with the final boss, defeat them, and end up in some grassy field in the middle of nowhere along with a bunch of others who failed at the same task. You see that kinda thing all the time in videogames. Speaking of which, I think I have one quite similar to the current situation with me. Might be kind of helpful." He dug through his backpack, only to be happily surprised at what he found. "Ah yeah! My playstation's in here! I knew I packed the thing!" he quickly yanked it out, detached the screen from his SNES, and plugged in the tiny playstation with screen, putting a controller and a disc in and starting it up. "Hmm... Let's see, haunted hotel, several guests enter, creepy people hand you the key and a weird greeter who just stands there like a robot... If I remember the ending, we've got to get into some secret room or a hidden floor of the place, then just keep fighting. Got any ideas?" Shotoken was starting to get pretty excited at this point. A chance to fight, a chance to get out of this creepy place, and he even had a second console with him to kill time until then. Yep, things were looking better. |

| “Look kid, don’t going thinking this is a game… I think we are all in very real danger… you don’t get extra lives, cheats or the luxury of a rest button if you screw up…. die here and your gone kid.” Patrick got off the desk, it reeked of the twins and he was sure that was making him feel worse. “My names Patrick by the way kid, never caught any of your names… but I am pretty bad at names. As for your knife plan… not so hot, I all ready tried it once here.” Patrick flicked out his pocketknife; the blade was a bit longer then his largest finger and was very sharp. “I tried to stick a… thing with this and it went through it like it was made of thin air… but its was real… I felt it knock me over… but it was wrong, like it was only partly here… ah I can’t describe it… but it made me want to leave here. I recommend we group up with the other guests and try to come up with some plan… maybe find out who is behind this… anything.” Patrick was not a leader, but he was one of the oldest here… and if Shotoken was right he was older then he thought… 51… how time flies. Maybe someone else here would have some leadership skills and they could take over, just so long as the kid here wasn’t going gung ho or they ended up doing nothing. “ I know which rooms have people in them from the wall of keys, room 77 is mine, 76 belongs to the girl, 85 is that Neil guy… your room 12 right? So that means room 430 and 44 are un-knowns… we should group up if you ask me… if you have any better ideas now is the time kidos.” He waited to see if they did have a better idea… he sincerely hoped they did. |

| " I know this isn't a game. I'm just saying that there are games where the same kinda thing happens to the player, so we might have to think that way to win. And about that creature, where did you hit it with your knife? It's possible that the thing can make just a small part of it's body physical, and leave the rest a ghost. Next time you see something like that, hit it somewhere where it's going to hit you. And you're right about teaming up, but judging by the way you've reacted so far, you're not a leader, and neither am I. We'll be needing someone who's a leader. Until then, all we can do is try and survive, and make the most of what we can do. Now where do you think those freaks who gave us our keys are? I'm feeling a sudden urge to kill them slowly and painfully." |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 13 2004, 08:59 PM |
| she looked between the two as they talk, thinking of the things she had seen, and what Shotoken had said about these games. He was right, one of the games she had once played involved things like this, only all you had was a camera to defend yourself, and given the situation, she doubted that would work this time. "they probably went for their break....they'll no doubt however be back shortly..." |
| Posted by: Kinkou Jun 13 2004, 09:36 PM |
| Katlynn had backed off as the two guys were discussing the happenigns around the place. The girl, also, seemed to join in. *blink* None of them had even seen her enter the area. "Uhhh...Hello? " No answer. The three still spoke together. Just what is going on here? She thought as she stepped further away from the stairs. Walking up to the girl, she placed her hand on her shoulder. Nothing. Not even a shrug. Katlynn moved away, looking at the bite on her hand. "This is weird. JUST WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!!!!" The three suddenly jumped from her outcry. "There's no need to yell." Patrick sounded sourly as he glared at her. Then realised that where at one point was nothing, suddenly she was. "Sorry." Katlynn muttered lowering her head. As she did, she saw the bite was no longer on her hand. In fact nothing was on her hand. No bite...no blood...no bruise. Everyone present probably thought her crazy as she stood staring at her hand in a state of disbelief. |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 13 2004, 10:20 PM |
| Caige looked over to the woman, seeing her look down at her hand for a moment then back up. She walked over to her "what did you see Ms......?"she hated the fact that even though she was an adult her tone and voice reminded her and probably others of a kid |
| Posted by: Calim Jun 13 2004, 10:21 PM |
| Putting his hand on the girls shoulder he squeezed it lightly trying to comfort her. "Hey its ok, we'll get out of this place I promise." Smiling down at the girl he winks and walks to the two talking he had heard them talking of different time periods his boots making a thumping sound on the ground. "I'm from the year 2008 or atleast I was the last time I checked, so were stuck here in this hotel? Are you sure we can't get out?" |
| Posted by: Kinkou Jun 13 2004, 10:47 PM |
| Katlynn looked up in surprise. "M..my name is Kat..Katlynn. Y...you can see me now? " She still had a hard time accepting the problems around here. |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 13 2004, 10:57 PM |
| she nodded" Its that or I am hallicinating......My names Caige.....what was it you were looking at?" She seemed to sense from the look in the womans eyes that she had had a scare, but after what she had seen, it was only up to her imagination what it was that had made Katlynn so shaken up. |
| Posted by: Kinkou Jun 13 2004, 11:23 PM |
| "M..My hand. I...I was upstair earlier in the library when...ah...nevermind. You'll think I'm crazy. " She shook her head fiercly trying to clear it. Brushing a lock of hair out iof her eyes, she saw it. Her proof of what had happened. On her sleeve, hidden in the folds, sat the fresh blood in streaks down her arm. She held it out to Caige, almost tenderly. "Do you see what I do?" |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 13 2004, 11:41 PM |
| she looked at the blood marks on Katlynn's shirt" I see it....what was it?" |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 14 2004, 12:05 AM |
| Shotoken watched, feeling somewhat tense. "We're all from different timelines, all have different abilities. Some of us have played games with similar situations, some of us haven't. I don't know about you guys, but our best bet to get the hell out of here is to work together, focus on our advantages, and help eachother get around our disadvantages. Right now, we've seen just about all we can see around here. Our best bet is to wait until we encounter some of the staff. Chances are, there's SOME place in here only they can get into. It's common sense. And I'm willing to bet THAT's where we need to go. Until we get that chance, just focus on staying alive and staying sane. Any objections?" Shotoken wasn't used to being a leader. Didn't mean he wasn't gonna be one and do the best he could under difficult circumstances. |
| Posted by: Kinkou Jun 14 2004, 12:16 AM |
| Looking down, she whispered. "One of the dolls upstairs bit me." Then Shotoken's voice rang close to them. He wasn't making quite as much sense as he should in her state of mind. But the shock was slowly wearing off. "OK. I...I guess you're right. Everything that's happened to me has been when I was on my own. May...maybe it would be smarter to be in a group." |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 14 2004, 12:27 AM |
| Shotoken smiled a bit. he was actually doing pretty good at this leader thing! Usually he could only lead computer AIs, but for once he was able to do it with real people! "Exactly what I was thinking. But thequestion is, what are our advantages? I don't know about all of you, but I'm pretty balanced at most things, I can take a hell of a lot of pain and keep going if my bones aren't broken, and I'm good with daggers and knives and the like. So, what about all of you?" They were gonna get out of there. Shotoken knew it. As long as there were a few people who were heavy hitters to counter-balance his logic of hit fast, hit a lot, they'd survive. when you survive, you win. And in this game, winning meant getting out alive. There wouldn't be a cheat code, a second life, or a reset button. he smirked a bit. This was the hardest game yet, and there wasn't an easy mode to get used to it. he'd always risen to a challenge in the past, and he was sure as hell gonna do it now. |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 14 2004, 12:42 AM |
| *she spoke out softly* I'm just a good runner, but I've had a lot of fighting classes, things to proctect myself and others.....I can also hear and feel when things aren't quite right.....though I'm not sure any of those will help.... |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 14 2004, 01:55 AM |
| Shotoken looked at the girl. She honestly reminded him of himself when he was just a few years younger, although he wasn't sure how old she was. "Trust me, those'll help. If we end up in a state of slow progress, having someone who can tell when things are getting weird'll be handy. And fast people are good if we end up just running. By the way, what did you say your name was?" |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jun 14 2004, 03:49 AM |
| Patrick looked back into the check in room and saw the desk was manned once again by the triplets who sat as they had when he had arrived. “Umm guys, the triplets are back.” Patrick got out his knife and walked slowly into the check in room, the door man was just standing there as ever so he ignored him… but the triplets smiled at him as he came in. “Hello sir read any interesting stories?” “We have sir.” “And they made us hungry…” “Why don’t you go get something to eat.” “Chef has been working on something tasty so I hear.” “Will there be anything else sir?” |
| Posted by: ShadowForm Jun 14 2004, 12:43 PM |
| (OOC: Alright... REMEMBER people, SURVIVAL-HORROR. I thought these people were supposed to be relatively normal, non-superhero people? And not Shotoken can keep fighting with broken bones, everyone and their grandmother has had enough self defense classes to avoid getting mugged in NY, and everyone has a knife whether or not they had one in their luggage?) Cole stepped out of elevator and looked around the room briefly as she headed to the desk. The triplets again. "Hey. Is there a diner or anything like that in this place...?" |
| Posted by: Linden Rathan Jun 14 2004, 01:35 PM |
| (OOC: yeah I agree, except my character packed a knife and I'm trying to make him relativly normal. As in what I would do in the situation.)) The scene changed to The Showdown at Blue Water, but before anything happened the screen went blank. "Damn..." Neil look to see that the red light off indicating that the batteries were low. He wondered if there was some sort of gift shop with batteries. He took out the disk and put in inside of the case. Then he picked up the portable dvd player and walked out into the hall and downstairs. Then he looked to his right and saw the large gathering of people. "Hey, do any of you have extra batteries?" They all looked at him slightly confused. Then began to shake their heads. "Alright then, thanks anyway." He walked into the check in room to ask the doorman if there was a giftshop. Upon entering he saw that the triplet things were back. There was also a man, and a woman asking about food. Food sounded nice, but he'd rather have batteries right now. "Is there a gift shop here, with batteries?" |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 14 2004, 02:48 PM |
| OOC: I said as long as his bones AREN'T broken. If his body is physically capable of moving, he can keep on fighting. I'm the EXACT SAME WAY. And for the record, shotoken HAD a knife. |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 14 2004, 08:52 PM |
| "My names Caige sir." she looked over to Patrick, listening to what the triplets were saying, having heard what was read from the paper it was making her nervous again |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jun 15 2004, 08:04 AM |
| “Ok then Caige, take this.” Patrick gave her his Swiss army knife the blade was flicked down. “Its not very sharp but its better then nothing, just make sure you use the big blade… it’s the only thing that even has a chance of cutting on that thing.” Patrick felt a little empty now he had disarmed himself, he was not exactly a fighting man… and he had been basically hoping the knife would scare attackers away… but these guys seemed incapable of fear. “Sorry sir no batteries here” “No need for them.” “But you should all go have something to eat…” “After the manager has left an open invitation to anyone who wishes to talk wit him.” “The manager can solve all your problems personally.” “But only after dinner!” Patrick noticed something, when ever thy mentioned the manger they seemed to wince a bit… and they were also determined to make them go and eat. “Ok guys I think we should go and eat…” his stomach was actually growling… |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 15 2004, 02:09 PM |
| Shotoken watched. Something about the idea of food seemed a little odd to him, and it was making him feel a bit nervous. Not like he'd show that now. "Sure, food sounds pretty decent. (speaking to caige, patrick, and anybody else right there) Any reccomendations? I've been living off of microwaveable food for the last six months, so that's all I really know at this point." |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 15 2004, 08:54 PM |
| refuses to take the knife from Patrick, she hates those things, little childood phobia of sorts. She then looks to Shotoken and shrugs, she hadn't eaten in a few days, and she didn't really think it was a very good idea to trust whatever it was that was on the menu at the moment |
| Posted by: ShadowForm Jun 15 2004, 10:43 PM |
| Cole tapped on the front desk for a moment after the triplets spoke. Yes, they were definately the dim type. "Well thank you. But where exactly is the dining room, or table area, or whatever it is?" |
| Posted by: Kinkou Jun 15 2004, 11:43 PM |
| Katlynn listened to their plots. "I...guess I'll go in with you. After all, where else would I go?" {{OOC: Sorry for short post. Very little time tonight}} |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 16 2004, 02:02 AM |
| Shotoken looked at caige. She seemed a bit nervous for some reason... "Hey, whatever's buggin' ya, don't worry about it. We're gonna be perfectly fine, we're gonna get out of here, and we might get something out of it. Besides, the worst that can happen is that we're stuck here, and I honestly wouldn't mind that with a beautiful girl like you to keep me company." Shtoken smiled a bit. He was pretty calm now. Talking to a beautiful girl like caige would do that for him. Oh well. He had more important things to focus on right now, even if part of him considered them much less important. |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jun 16 2004, 04:04 AM |
| Patrick smiled; well he had to give the kid credit for keeping a cool head… and for trying it any way. “Come on the dining room is this way…” Patrick put away his Swiss army knife wishing it were something better… a battle sword say. The dining room was on this floor and Patrick headed to it not looking to see if the others would follow him. When he went in he saw there was one large table, just enough seats for each of the guests. He went to it and saw their names were placed at each seat; He sat down in the seat with his nametag on it… he was staring to get a bad feeling about this. |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 16 2004, 03:04 PM |
| Shotoken walked in after patrick, noticing the name tags. "Okay, this is weird." But he wasn't about to lose a damn good oppurtunity, so he swapped his with one of the one's next to caige's before she walked in and sat down. "Wonder what kind of food they're gonna make us eat...I'm almost tempted to go grab one of the crappier games I brought along and just eat that. At least I'd know it wouldn't be drugged or something." |

| Cole looked at the nametag at her seet, then flipped it over. She shrugged and put it down, then rubbed her eyes for a moment. She laughed. "Drugged? If you don't want your food drugged, just watch out for psycho girl there." She motioned to Katlynn's seat. "What the hell's wrong with you people anyway?" |

| she went in after the others, looking around the large room then down at the name tags on the table, most of them were blank until she got so far, finidng hers next to Shotoken, she sat down and sighed, not really feeling like eating, she was onl;y staying so she wasn't alone |

| ooc:(sorry for the short post and bad spelling but haveing minor computer troubles) While waiting three waiters came in carrying plates with silver covers over them, at each palce a plate was put down and then the waiters left with out saying a word. Patrick lifted his hand to pull up the tray, as soon as he did he felt a moment of imense fear, this was the point in all horror films you found your meal was a human head. He could not just leave his hand hovering forever, so he took off the cover and had a good news bad news situation. The good news was it was not a human head, the bad news was it was alive and nothign he ahd seen before. It was a worm like creature as big as his forearm with grey skin, it writhed around the plate leaving thick slimes all over... it smelled like rotten meat, Patrick could not take it as he jumped out his seat and dry retched... if he ahd eaten maybe he would have vomited. "I hate this place!" |

| Shotoken just stared at the thing. It was big and ugly, and he wasn't entirely used to such things around here yet. Oh well. He'd just wing it. he picked up a conveniently placed fork, and stabbed it right into where he guessed was the thing's head, as it started freaking out and eventually died down, and just died. "Okay, nobody try eating that." |
| Posted by: ShadowForm Jun 17 2004, 06:47 PM |
| Cole eyed the thing on her plate momentarily, then quietly placed the cover back over it. "I guess the chef has a sense of humor." She paused and looked at the others, who were busily freaking out, and sighed. "Well what did you expect? We haven't even ordered anything yet. They probably do this to everyone who comes through here as a joke." |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 17 2004, 08:03 PM |
| seeing what the others had she declined to even lift the cover on her plate, watching Shotoken stab the thing on his plate"Ewwww...I don't think anyone would want to....." |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 17 2004, 09:47 PM |
| Shotoken looked over at cole. "Joke my ass. After all the ghosts and shit that we've seen around here, the fact that one guy is from 2008 and another's from 1985, and the newspaper that said how we would all die, this wasn't a joke." Then he looked back over at caige, and visibly relaxed ever so slightly. "I can see what ya mean. Oh well, it's over now. let's just hope we can actually get something to eat that won't try and eat us back." |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 17 2004, 10:06 PM |
| she gave him a sideways look" I think I'd rather starve than trust anything here....who knows what'll be on those plates next time...." she'd seen the way he relaxed just now and didn't really know what to think, so she just looked around the room again |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jun 18 2004, 04:28 AM |
| "Excuse me... you have all been invited to meet the manager if you are done with your meals... he is on the top floor, room 666.... just knock and wait for him..." The cleaner had come out of no where, they had been so busy with the worm things... maybe she had just sneaked up... but they all seemed equaly shocked to see her. "Guys unless you really want to stay and eat, i think we should go talk with this manager..." Patrick gave one last look at the plate with that hideous thing sqiurming round, then started for the lifts... maybe now they would get some answers. |
| Posted by: ShadowForm Jun 18 2004, 01:28 PM |
| Cole looked at Shotoken for a moment, then shook her head. "I don't know what the hell you people have been passing around down here, but I don't want any. I'm going up to my room and the first one of you to try and step through the door gets a new hole to breathe through." Cole pushed herself away from the table and quickly walked back to the elevator and waited. |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 18 2004, 03:51 PM |
| Shotoken looked at the two people leaving, then just stood up. "I've got a few things to say to that idiot manager, and most of them involve my knife in his head. I'm comin' along." Shotoken was ready to go on a rampage. The second he saw that manager, it was gonna be bloody. He started walking towards where patrick headed, turning back one last time. "Anybody else comin'?" He wasn't quite sure about what he was doing, but it almost felt like entering the pits of hell to face satan himself. He was nervous, but he stayed calm looking. Fear and rage made a person weak, and he wasn't going to make himself weak. Besides, the calmer he looked, the better of a chance the others wouldn't get nervous. By the time he was done thinking, he was on the right floor, standing next to patrick. "Why do I have a bad feeling about what's going to happen as soon as we go in there?" |
| Posted by: Kinkou Jun 18 2004, 04:38 PM |
| Katlynn gulped as she watched the wiggling worm-thing. In fact, she'd almost missed the complete conversation. "Uhh...yeah. I think we better go check with the manager. Maybe he can help clear up a few things also." Standing, she didn't notice the chair fall backwards. "Shall we go?" The shock was starting to take it's hold. |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 18 2004, 07:34 PM |
| she looked to Katlynn and nodded, standing and walking for the lifts. For some reason, however, she felt this wasn't going to be a walk in the park, just the room number alone was enough to set her internal alarms jangling. Those weird creatures, the shadows and the ghosts...they could just be under the control of a higher power.....none of this felt right, but there really was no choice. She stopped and looked at the other two before at the elevator, swallowing slightly |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jun 19 2004, 07:25 AM |
| The elevator arrived and Patrick went inside pushing the button for the top floor after evryone who was comming went inside. The lift moved slowly up and came to a sudden halt on the top floor, causing them all to shake and almost fall. The lift now open lead to a long coridor at the end of which was room 666. Patrick walked ahead, not seeing if the others would follow him, the closer he got to the door the deeper the sense of dread became. Eventualy he was standing right next to the door. "Last chance if you dont want to meet the manager..." Patrick waited a moment and then put his hand on the door knob and opened the door. "Bout time you boys and gals made it here... i was just bout to go and give up you!" The voice was of someone putting on a fake texas acent and caem from the man sitting at the desk with his feet up. The room was one huge office with art work and furniture all over the place... but in the center was a single desk with a group of chairs round it and behind it was the manager. He was tall, reall tall and was wareing a wahite shirt, blue demin jacket, blue fadded jeans so far gone they were nearly white and his worn down cow boy boots where on the table as he leaned back. He tilted his white cow bow hat back to show his face, it was a long pail face with un-remarkable fetaures, his hair was shoulder length and balck heald toghter in greassy lumps, his eyes were nearly all black with a little rim of a dull blue that was nearly grey. "Well dont just stand there!" His voice was anoying, like nails on a chalk board. "Come in sit down, pull up a rock... make your selves at home.... me casa is su casa... let you and me have a palavar... now before we do start has anyone got any questions for me?" |

| Neil hadn't been in the dining room. He had gone to his room to read, and drink bawls. As he was though, the bawls seemed to taste warm. So he had gone out to see if this place had ice, when the elevator passed his floor crammed with everyone. Curious as to what was going on he ran up the next 7 floors on foot. He made it just in time. Everyone had gotten out of the elevator so he just filed in behind them. He wondered what was going on, but then it hit him. He remembered the other day when he tried going outside. When he had tuned back he saw what looked like a man standing at the window of the top floor. They must all be seeing him. As he walked inside he looked to see that The Manager reminded him very much of Budd, from Kill Bill Vol. 2. At the invitation to sit he did so, and wondered what everyone would ask. |
| Posted by: ShadowForm Jun 19 2004, 12:44 PM |
| Cole had specifically avoided taking the elevator, instead using the stairs to get to the third floor. She didn't trust any of the other people who she'd seen at the table, much less to be within striking distance of all of them at once. Hopefully, she would be able to order something from her room. Time travel, ghosts, newspaper of doom... man, those people need some help with reality. Cole opened the door to the third floor and left the stairwell, then started walking towards her room. She hadn't noticed the shapes of faces hidden in the concrete walls of the stairwell, which was just as well. She would have only attributed it to her own mild discomfort from the words of those whom she had branded fools and addicts. And she didn't notice the mutilated patron standing at the far end of the hall, which was also just as well. Unbeknownst to her, she would meet him soon enough anyway. |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 19 2004, 05:01 PM |
| Shotoken just stood there in the room, his hand in his pocket and clutching his knife in such a way that he could whip it out and flip it open, ready to attack in under a second if need be. "I'll stand. Now, care to tell us why we're stuck in this place?" He was barely managing to look calm, but he could keep it up for a while longer. At least, he hoped he could... |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 19 2004, 08:52 PM |
| Caige stayed back by the door, watching the others, trying not to focus on the fact that the man behind the desk reminded her of her old dean, right down to the worn boots, the only difference was color of the hair and the eyes....then again she'd always though that man had been pure evil anyways.... |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jun 20 2004, 06:30 AM |
| "Well now thats a very good question boy... i have heard it a million times but its still a damn good question... you are stuck here becuase here is not where you were... you see as soon as you walked through those doors you stopped been in your world and enterd mine, out side is... a half way house between your world and mine... now listen here boys and gals for i aint telling you again... you can not escape me, you are stuck here untill you die... but where are my manner... why some one ought to take a hoss whip to me... take me round the wood shead and give me a wuppin... yes siree bob i aint introduced my self! i am William Allman... also known as Will also known as Bill... but thats a name from an old world... hmm we should have a special name dont you think, after all oen name is good as another... ummm how about.... Bob, yeah good old bob." The manager made as much sense as a can full of worms, Patrick did not sit but held onto the seat... he was feeling weak. "Now Shotoken my boy why dont you let go of your little tooth pick and take a seat... and Caige stop standing there girl and come and sit down... or would you like a blast from the past... i can do that you know? I can summon any horror from your past and bring it here... want to see your child hood boggy man in the flesh? If not sit down... that goes for all of you." The manager moved back his jacket and Patrick could see he had a gun, fitting with his look it was a six shooter. Patrick sat down with out saying anything.... would the others follow suit? |
| Posted by: Kinkou Jun 20 2004, 01:32 PM |
| Katlynn listened from the door, still in shock and unbelieving to all his story. At his command to sit, she frowned and thought for a bit. The threat in his voice didn't sit too well with her. And he really couldn't do it?...could he? Better not to give him the chance. Gently pushing passed Caige, Katlynn took a seat closest to the desk, in silence. She didn't look up from her hands as she sat. |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 20 2004, 03:22 PM |
| Shotoken noticed the gun as well. Being a wanderer made you pay attention to such tiny details. of course, when somebody with a weapon tells you to sit down, you sit the hell down. Which is exactly what shotoken did. "Too bad I've never been scared of anything in my life. Nothing you can conjure up can scare me. Now, how about telling me how you know our names?" OOC: Is it a bluff, or has he truly forgotten fear? Find out soon! |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 20 2004, 09:46 PM |
| she moved up quickly, sitting down in the seat next to where Patrick was standing. She looked towards the guy behind the desk, but looking past him, more towards the window, keeping her ears tuned to the conversation |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jun 21 2004, 03:02 AM |
| Patrick had also sat down, for some reason he felt making this guy mad was a very bad idea. "Now thats so much better, all here like old friends... now questions right?" The manager laughed, but it was cold and dead laughter with no hint of joy. "Ok boy you want to know how i know your name... i know it becuase i want to... i am... hmmm for lack of a better word a demon, but i am so much mroe then that... oh so much more. Now we have all been introduced, i guess we get down to the nitty gritty... now tell me boys and girls how are you enjoying your stay here? Anyone seen anything worth while... a few monsters here, a few killers there... makes a place complete if you ask me.... now your here and we have agreed i aint going to elt you leave, who wnats to live a nice long life?" He seemed very confused in what he was saying, his thoughts seemed to jump past each other... and so far they had no answers, Patrick could not even think of the questions any more. |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 21 2004, 10:44 PM |
| as the man talked on, her head began to ache and she looked down to the floor. His words about being stuck there had sunk in and had made her a bit sick to her stomach, trying to keep herself from slipping over the edge and crying. This whole place sucked, it was like some fucked up Stephan King story, complete with the tiger around the corner, the ghosts in the halls and the weird guy in front of them, who now reminded her of an evil character, the one in the story about the princes, but his name wasn't there right now....didn't matter anyways..... |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 22 2004, 12:19 AM |
| Shotoken watched caige, and he could tell everything this guy was saying was upsetting her a bit. For some reason he didn't want to figure out at the moment, that pissed him off, although he managed to look calm. "Why us? Why the hell would you want to trap US here instead of some other poor fools?" He wanted answers, and he was going to get them. His leg was already a little tense, and he was close enough that he could get his knife to the manager's throat the second he was pushed too far before the guy could pull that gun out. And even if he did, the chances of him hitting a vital spot were next to none in that kind of split second reaction. |

| "ah the big questions continue from the little boy.... well listen here son i chose you becuase i want you out of the picture, you see there is a big old game going on between heaven and hell... i use those terms only cuase you dont have a real word for the sides we represnt... we both want to get earth out of the way, to continue our war, one hell is sure to win... but thing is its taking a long damn time and well... i came up with a damn good way to speed thigns up. Now you may or may not know about alternate realites yadda yadda yak yak... same stuff diffrent day right?" Patrick could see he was effecting them in diffrent ways, he was making Caige sick, Shotoken angry and Patrick just felt lost... if he kept going they would all go nuts. "Now every possible outcome of every descions is played out some where, its these worlds which block of heaven and hell, but they have a key weakness... heaven is very much on the free will but fate is still damn important... now if fate is inturupted in the right place all the worlds colapse in on each other, and thats my plan. You guys are important in some way to fate, and by taking you here i have a chance to end you and thus cause the collapse. The worlds are all ready weakend from two hundred years of my attacks, its only a matter of time now. Here my offer to ya.... die here or live here its your choice and i dont care either way, you stay here work for me and you get one heck of a good health plan... you stay alive, just ask Steve-o hes been here since the 60's! Or you can keep looking round for a way out and when you have moved deep enough into my wordl, well then you will be served up with a side of beans to the monsters we have here... i win either way. Now chose, death or get down on your knees and worship me..." |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 22 2004, 09:17 AM |
| Shotoken wasn't amused. This idiot had already upset caige enough, and that in turn made him angry. As far as he could tell he had fallen in love with her, but he'd worry about that after he had either gotten this guy on HIS knees, or had died in the process. "Look, I don't give a crap about heaven or hell or whatever you want to call it. Good and evil don't mean shit to me. They're just a way of oversimplifying the actions of a person. Now, you say fate is important to heaven or the good side or whatever. Why do you need to put us in a completely different reality to screw with fate? Why not just swap a few people and things around? Say, for example, my fate is to, I don't know, work for some corporation and become the owner of it or some crap like that. if that was my fate, then why not just remove the corporation? You've screwed with fate just as much as taking me out of this reality without having to do all this. And what if THIS is our fate? What if by changing our fate, you're actually doing what heaven WANTS you to do? What if by NOT doing this, you'd be changing our fates? Ever think of that one?" Shotoken was pretty sure this would work. If he could convince the manager their fate was to be here and his victory required them to leave, they'd all be able to go home...Although, he was really more interested in staying with caige than going back to a life of wandering the streets... |
| Posted by: Linden Rathan Jun 22 2004, 07:21 PM |
| Neil sat and listened. He wasn't much one for talking and most of the questions he would've asked were being answered. The way The Manager described the situation though made it seem impossible, but there must've been some way. As he thought the words kept droning on and on. Neil had to appreciate the tactics The Manager had created to fight his enemy though, pretty impressive. Since he didn't really feel like being killed he figured it would be best to pretend to work for this jack-off and fine a weakness of some kind. Perhaps defying The Manager and looking around for some secret way out could work. Personally Neil thought that he would be better with a side of baked potato, or better yet some hashbrowns. Then that thought drifted away. After that things got really interesting when Shotoken reversed The Managers strategy. Neil was going to ask a question. A pointless question in order to feign complete indifference. Although now this would certainly be interesting to watch and see how it played out. |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 22 2004, 10:47 PM |
| Caige looked up a bit, looking to each in turn as they spoke, she could see Shotoken out of the corner of her eye. He seemed to have an idea of what he was doing, or at least hopefully he did. She shifted uneasily in her chair and looked back down to the floor through her bangs |
| Posted by: Kinkou Jun 22 2004, 11:10 PM |
| *blink**blink* Katlynn was about to speak when Shotoken erupted. After he had finished and waited for the manager's reply, Katlynn just shrugged and stood up. "I'm sorry, but I will not help you. I don't know what the others here believe in nor do I really care. But I believe in keeping the balance, so regardless of your confidence, I shall decline your offer. " Walking to the door, she looked back at the others. "Your choice is yours, do as you see fit. And don't let the old blowhard fool you. There are always rules and balance...even in a parallel universe. So there's always a way out. Finding it is the hard part." Then she was out the door and moving down the hallway. |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jun 23 2004, 08:59 AM |
| "Boy you dont know how many people tried that idea on me and its failed each and every time, i know your fate becuase i have seen it.... you see the powers that be on all sides have to follow a set of rules set up... this hotel i found is a loop hole... see if i changed your fate in your world then when it colapsed in on its self i would be there with it... it would destroy me. But by putting you here if your fate does change to much to be put back on course... well i am out of ground zero" Patrick had been hopeing that Shotoken had been right and found a way out, but it seemed there was not. "You see boy the guy i work for is called Daimius and well hes tied to fate, ever here of the three fates? its sort of true boy, there is an entity called fate that decides msot of what will happen but its been sealed up and its wants freedom, so it has arranged it that Daimius wins the war and takes ultimate power... his power coems from death and desturction so he will desotry all, inculding himself to reach ultimate power... and in oblvion fate will find rest. I have been able to see the wall of fate, every single person who was, is and shall be has their lives mapped on these walls and i have seen yours...Shotoken invents a computer chip at the age of fifty that sends us into a golden age of tehcnology three hundred years later, Caige you my dear meet a person named Lucy and convince her to write a book which later on leads to a man committing sucide, Patrick you three years from now save a small child who is about to be hit by a car, Katlynn takes a taxi which forces two other people to share who get married and have a kid who later one does some pretty big stuff, Neil saves the life of some very sick people... well keeps them alive three days longer which really screws up some people... looks i could go on and on boys and gals but fact is i know everything that was meant to ahppen to you... and as for a way out there is only one, i can let anyone back out i please through a hidden door only i can open... and i am never opening that door again, not after the last time no siree... look my mouth is running away with me... any more questions?" Patrick decided it was time for him to ask a question. "Who eascped from you before?" At that the mangers eyes went from friendly to mean, daggers shone in them and his expersion was of pure hate. "Patrick... no one has ever escaped the hotel California and no one ever will... you got that?" Patrick nodded, it seemed there might be some hope after all. |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 23 2004, 09:35 AM |
| Shotoken smirked a bit. That was just one of many tricks. It was a damn good thing tricks were how he fought an opponent. Get them questioning everything they know and then slam a knife through their gut. Gets 'em every time. "So you know our fates. Explain such a huge alteration. You still haven't done that. And I don't really care if nobody escaped yet. I refuse to be held back by an idiotic manager who claims to be a demon and is babbling shit. There isn't one single thing you can do to keep me here other than kill me, and then I'm still out of here. All you have are threats, and those don't affect me anymore. I've spent a damn good portion of my life wandering and fighting, and there isn't SHIT you can do to scare me or make me do what you want. Now, anything you're interested in trying before I fucking kick your ass and MAKE you let us out of here?" he was seriously fucking pissed off at this point. This guy was weak, no matter how much he said he could do. All he had threatened was feeding them to whatever creatures he had and making their fears real. And he seriously thought he could make shotoken do anything with that! That right there was an insult. he already had his hand near his pocket, where his knife was, and had long ago left his chair. The instant this guy actually tried anything, that knife would be out and be through his throat. |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jun 23 2004, 02:00 PM |
| "boy you need a lesson in respect." The manager was there one second and then the next he was gone, patrick look round and saw he was standing next to Shotoken with his gun placed against his head. "Just threats am i boy... just a powerless ghost huh? time i gave you a wuppin boy." There was a blur and Shotoken flew up into the air and smacked the roof, comming back down, just before he hit the ground the manager had caught him. "I could do this all day boy but you would still not see sense, so you think i am powerless... lets bring a little magic into your life!" There was a feeling of displacment and then the world swirled comming back into focus they were out sides, the endless black round them. They were all there on the roof top, but Shotoken was now been held above the ground by nothing, the manager just looking at him. "put him back." Patrick was holding his knife, the blade was dull but the point was sharp... it would go through his ribs just as good as another knife. "Sit down and shut up!" Patrick went flying across the roof and landed on his backside un able to move. "Now listen boy, i am not some shadow you can walk by and not think about... i am God here, only one other has mroe power here and thats Daimius... now you will die here one way or the other, you can either give in and live a nice long life here working for me, or i leave you to walk round looking for a way out that is not open to you and die when the pahseing is complete... now if you annoy me again i will unleash on you darkness beyond your understanding, your mind will snap like a twig at my power and then we will see if the little boy can live with true evil." He flicked his wrist and they were all back in the managers offics and Patrick could move again. |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 24 2004, 12:08 AM |
| Shotoken wasn't exactly impressed. No matter how powerful this guy is, he didn't use strength for any of that. It was all magic and a crappy gun. "Respect my ass. I don't give a flying fuck how much you can do, you didn't use strength for one single thing. You want respect, you beat me in a hand to hand, no weapons no magic fight. THEN, maybe, just MAYBE, will you have an OUNCE of respect from me." If ya couldn't tell, he was PISSED. First this guy tries to trap them here, then he upsets caige, and then he has the ignorance to say he's powerful when he relies on magic tricks! People like this were the ones he hated the most. "And you think I care if I die? Fuck, I've already seen hell with all the crap I've dealt with in my life. And besides, you kill me, I'm still out of here. At least that'll mean I don't have to see your ugly face for one more horrendous gut-wrenching second." |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jun 24 2004, 08:51 AM |
| " you think you have seen hell boy?" The amanger burst into un controalable lauhter which sent a shiver up Patricks back, it really was repulsive to hear. "Trust me boy, you aint seen anything close to hell in you short pathetic life... no siree you aint seen it cause your still sane, though trying to pick a fight with me does show your not that bright. I have seen the true hell and its nothing like what thye tell you... its cold there, very cold... but it dont chill your bone, it chill your soul boy... there is food there... we eat it hot and sweet still moving with life... there is no sun there but it never is dark, you can see it all... horrors like that you never thought possible you know why? Its because you think hell is some big torture chamber where people keep been punished... its not... you wont have a body... its your soul that is torn apart every second of every moment... its agony that a body could never understand... your physical forms are so weak they would never understand a true moment of pain. Your eyes would see it all, and you can never block it out... you are alone... no God to pray to... and if you are truly un lucky then Daimius sets his eyes on you... he removes the black and shows the window... i have seen that happen to people... and what it does makes even me scared... i would not wish the fate on even my worst enemy... but Daimius is a whole diffrent leugue to me... he thrives on it like a plant thrives on lught, death and desturction are his bread and water... no boy you aint seen hell, and you should tahnk whatever God you belive in and pray you never do see hell... and the only way to do that is give up and join my team. Now if you want to have a life then stay here... if not the doors open, you can walk round my hotel for a few mores days and wind up dead... its all the same to me... now chose." Patrick had all ready made up his mind, he got out of his seat and started for the door. |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 24 2004, 11:03 AM |
| "I don't believe in any god. I don't even believe in a hell. I believe in the here and now, and that you can't keep me here for long before I'm gone. And trust me, nothing YOU can do will ever kill ME. I'll slit my own thorat before I let someone who has to rely on magic to win a fight kill me." And with that, he went for the door as well. he was still pissed and not quite thinking logically, which is probably why he said what he did right then and there: "By the way caige, I've fallen in love with you." And then he walked back out the door. opening his knife and spinning it around in his hand. He was going to get out of here, and so were the others. But no matter what, even if it meant he didn't, caige was going to be freed from this torturous prison. |

| Patrick saw how angry Shotoken was getting and decided it was best to have a word with him. He grabbed him by his arm and dragged him out the office quickly. "Listen kid this guy is real, and he can kill you... i dont think he needs magic to do it either, the way he hit you before would take a lot of strength. If you fight him now you will just end up dead and we gain nothing... if you have been paying attention, when i asked who had escaped he got real angry... i think someone has escaped this place once... now if your alive you can help us escape... you die fighting him you cant do a damn thing for us kid... now i know your pissed, but for now just keep i bottled up... i have an idea, that guy Steve-o... i saw him before, hes a human and former guest, he might know who and how someone escaped this damn place. I think we should find him. But its your choice kid, i wont stop you if you want to run back in there and try and cut him..." |

| in all that had just happened and all that was said, she just sat in stunned silence. Once the door had closed she looked back down to the floor and stood, looking towards the manager, the silence here was getting to her. She sighed and walked to the door, stepping out into the hallway with one last nod to him, she closed the door and took off as fast as she could for the stairs, breezing past the others. She needed to get away from them all, for a little while anyway. She reached the fifth floor and ran down the hallway, sitting down in the junction out of sight from the stairs, and closed her eyes, breathing in as calm as she could, supressing the scream building up inside of her. "You'll be okay in a few minuets, then we'll go back to the room..."the little voice in her head said. Until then though she just sat, staring at the wall across from her for a while. Movement however, caught her eye down the hall and upon looking up she noticed the cleaner, pushing his supply cart down the hall. She stood and moved towards him "Excuse me, can I ask you a few questions about this place?" |

| Shotoken listened to what patrick was saying, even if it didn't make a huge amount of difference to him. "I guess you're right. But just remember this: If we get that guy without those tricks and without a gun, I get the first shot at him. If it was up to me he'd be dead right now. Now, where's the guy we need to ask about this whole mess again?" |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jun 25 2004, 08:03 AM |
| "Steve-o hes..." Patrick felt that same feeling of displacment, as the world blurred just as when the manager sent them to the roof top. When focus cme back he was no longer with Shotoken, he was not even on the same floor any more. "Naughty Patrick, i want that boy to make a mistake and come after me and your trying to ruin it... time out for you." It was the voice of the manager but it was comming from his mind. He looked round and noticed something very odd, the room he was next to was room 890... he also saw the floor number plaque where a stairs case should have been, but there was solid wall instead... this was floor 13... but there was no floor 13. Patrick had to find a way off this floor and get back to the others. |

| Shotken was a little surprised, but luckily everything was allowing his brain to function a bit better. "Damn manager, screwing with all of us again... Well, might as well go find somebody I can ask about the person who escaped." And with that, he began wandering. he eventually ended up near the cleaner, and decided to talk to him. "hey, think you can answer a few questions I have?" Of course, that also meant that he noticed caige. "Oh, hey caige. Why'd you run off like that?" |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 25 2004, 10:03 PM |
| "Just had to breathe...." She answered Shotoken shortly,eyes narrowed a bit,she obviously wasn't in the mood to be around him right now, what he had said up in the managers office and thrown her off a bit, and at the moment she hated him for it. "Do you want something?" |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 26 2004, 02:18 AM |
| "I was just looking for someone I could ask about this whole mess, and that cleaner over there seemed like a good choice. But, since it seems like you don't want me around, I'll just go ask somebody else.not like anyone's ever not hated me for what I said anyways..." After that, he just went back downstairs. he wasn't sure to where, but he'd either find someone, give up, or caige would be far enough away from that cleaner that shotoken could ask him a few questions. |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jun 26 2004, 08:47 AM |
| The floor was the same as all the others with but one exception, there was no way on or off it. There were no stairs and no lifts just rooms, Patrick had gone all over the floor and found nothing. He was now back where he started, with a hall of rooms and on both ends a single window, it seemed like he was stuck here untill he either starved or the manger decided he had been out of the game long enough. He was thinking this when he heard the growl, he knew it... it was of the demon monster thing he had met earlier on. His knife was out in a flash and made him feel stupid, the monster had calws longer and sharper then his knife was. He waited there at the end of the corriodor as the shadow moved across the other wall, then became a true lvining nightmare. "Hey there, missed me?" Patrick said as he got ready to move, the monster roaoring as it began its charge, this did not look good for him. The cleaner ignores Shotoken and Caige completly as he moved a vacume cleaner even Patrick would have called old. He was totaly absorbed in cleaning, his mind had become obessed with keeping things cleaned over the years and he would have nothing to do with anything not to do with cleaning. |

| Katlynn watched bemused as the others slowly stalked out of the manager's office behind her. The lift had reached her by this time, and she waited for the others to reach her and get on the lift. Then one of the guys just disappeared. *groan* Great. So what. Now that was un warrented. Taking a deep breath, seh walked back to the office and knocked on the door. She REALLY didn't want to speak with him again, but she needed to know what he'd done with the missing member. ..especially after all she'd said when she FIRST walked out the door. "I know you're still there. I want to ask you something. " |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 26 2004, 08:01 PM |
| Caige sighed as he walked away, for some reason she couldn't stay pissed at him. She turned and looked at Steve-o, shook her head and started after Shotoken, silently cursing herself for being such a bitch all the time.... |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 27 2004, 04:36 AM |
| Shotoken was still wandering, although it'd be pretty easy to find him if you looked. "Why is it girls never seem to like me? They might say I'm a nice guy, sometimes they say I'm funny, hell, once in a blue moon they say I'm cute. But the second I fall in love with one and admit it, she hates me. What the hell am I doing wrong?" This whole thing had him confused, and in a way, kind of hurt. He never could figure this out when it happened, and it always stung when it happened. Oh well, best thing he could do is wait until caige calms down, apoligize for the whole mess, and beg for her forgiveness. "I just hope she CAN forgive me..." |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jun 27 2004, 05:47 AM |
| "SHIIII...!" Patrick jumped at the last second and tried to stab the beast with the knife, he made a little cut in the things massive shoulder but nothing more. He on the other hand was hit by the monsters claws, a flash of pain on his chest as crimson fluid spilled out, the cut is not deep but stings like hell. Patrick moved a hand up to the cut and felt the stab of pain, the warm blood dripping over his fingers. This time the monster was real, and it did not disapear as it charged at him again. "Oh God!" Patrick yelled as he again tired to avoid the claws and teeth that came at him like an out of control train. He managed to duck this time and make a good stab at the creatures belly with the kinfe, sinking it up to the hilt, wiggling it free to do more damage. The beast has black blood that is cold as ice on Patricks hands, it roars in pain as it collapses on the floor its run stopped. Patrick leaps on the tings back and started stabing wildly with the knife, roaring himself as a primitive side took over him, his red blood mixed with the monsters black blood making a horrible colour. He was flung off its back and hit the wall, his knife was still embeded in the monsters back as it faded away to nothing, his knife was gone with it. |

| Caige wandered a few of the halls, looking around for nothing in particular, and had heard some rather interesting things as she went. The voices and black static had been pretty bad on the sixth floor, panning out to several arguments, screaming and crying, a few gun shots here and there and once, something that sounded like music through a badly tuned radio. Now down on the third floor she was ready to give up her serch and just go to her room for a while when she spotted someone turning the corner just ahead of her. She started to run after him when her leg gave out, the muscles in her calf and thigh locking up compleatly. "Oh shit.....ow!!" she forced herself up into a sitting position, leaning against the wall next to her wincing until the pain passed. |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 28 2004, 08:28 AM |
| Shotoken suddenly turned aroound, worried. That was caige's voice! He quickly ran around the corner, getting down on one knee next to caige instinctively. "hey, you okay?" OOC: And the one knee thing is just instinctive. I do it myself all the time when I know there's a chance I'll be needing to get up quickly. |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 28 2004, 08:40 PM |
| "Yeah I'm okay, right legs been a real problem the past few days and keeps locking up like this."She looked up at him and looked away again, forcing herself up, leaning against the wall as the aching muscles in her leg started to release, feeling a bit embarrassed now that it had happened, but glad in the same breath that it had been Shotoken and not one of the hotels eye tricks. "I'm really sorry for the way I acted back there before.....you knocked me for a loop back in the office and didn't really know how to handle it...." |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 28 2004, 08:53 PM |
| Shotoken smiled a bit. He was just glad he had just surprised her instead of doing something really wrong. Even if he didn't end up with a girlfriend, he'd be happy just to have a friend for once. "Yeah, I guess I should'n't've just said it suddenly like that. I was angry and my brain wasn't working right. I meant what I said, but I can understand if it surprised you. I really don't expect you to have feelings for me or anything, but I'm kinda glad you don't hate me. When you just wander most of your life like I have, you kinda end up with everyone you meet hating you. It gets kind of depressing after a while, ya know?" |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 28 2004, 09:07 PM |
| "It's very understandable. And I really can't hate you, you haven't done anything wrong to me for me to hate you, you just need to develop a bit more tact." She smiled at him and shruged a bit" Besides, your kinda cute." Caige had no problem with saying this to him, it was the truth, he was cute! He seemed alright when he was mostly calm too. And he looked like he could at least use a friend, so what was the of letting him know how she felt. |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jun 29 2004, 03:05 AM |
| "ehem" Patrick walked up to where Shotoken and Caige were, so quietly they had not noticed him. "Sorry to brake this up but we got a show to put on kids. Sorry bout vanishing like that, someone sent me to a different floor, tried to kill me there but i am ok now... so unless you want five more minuets lets get going." Patrick smiled at the two but there was no emotion behind it. Patrick still stuck on floor 13 had wrapped some sheets he had found like a bandage round his chest. He had to get off this floor before another monster came... and seeming there was no stair case or elvator he had only one choice. Patrick went up to a room and kicked down the door, it took a few good kicks but eventualy the frame split and he was let through. Inside was a room like his but with one difference... haning from hooks were the remains of previous guests. This was where theboides of old guests seemed to eb stored, floor 13. Patrick gaged on the smell of rotting flesh and had to look away, it was just to disgusting to look at. But he had to get something from that room, he rose his shirt round his mouth in a futile atempt to keep away the smell and went into the room. In there he took the bed sheets and then left to do the same in the next room. Each room held some greisly supirse for him, but he needed the extra sheets. Sure this was a bit cliched but it was all he had, tie sheets toghter in a rope and lower himself down to a floor with a way off. "God if your still on my side please let this work..." Patrick tied sheets toghter and then tied one end to a fixture on the wall that looked strong enough. Then opend the window and hurled the rest of his rope out, it just reached floor 10, that was good enough for him. He started to climb down slowly at first listening for any sound of the rope comming away, but there was nothing. He was at the window to floor eveln when he did hear something. Looking up he saw a familer face, one of the triplets who held a knife... and was cutting at his rope. |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 29 2004, 06:27 AM |
| Shotoken stood up, clutching his knife again. If you watched his face carefully, you could see a certain hardness forming, the almost innocent kid fading away into someone who would kill another without a second thought. "Then let's move it. There's a different way out than that door the manager said only he could open, and we're going to find it, even if it means killing every single idiot that works in this hellhole one by one." |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 29 2004, 12:51 PM |
| Caige looked at Patrick suspiciously. There was something wrong with him, his whole energy had changed and he seemed....almost wrong. And then hearing what he said about disappearing then coming back....this was wrong. Not to mention the look in his eyes, somewhat empty.I don't like this, somethings happened to him, he's not the same... she then noticed he had no marks or anything to show he was attacked by anything, none of his clothes were out of place...and the way he just kind've snuck up on them.... she whispered to herself"This isn't right......." |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jun 29 2004, 02:07 PM |
| "Don't worry Shotoken my boy i have found something out from a very helpful member of staff... all it took was a short talk with my knife to their throat for them to spill information to me." Patrick smiled, a real smile at the tought of holding a knife to someones throat. "You see there is a way out, its trhough the kitchen, aparantly theres a real fast way out of the hotel from there... we just have to look about for it. Now what do you say boy?... Caige why are you looking at me like that? See something green do you, or have i grown a second head... stop been weird, we aint got time for it... now come along boys and gals time to get out of this place." "I really hate those fat sons of... whatever..." Patrick lowerd himself as quickly as he could to the tenth floor, still able to hear the knife saw away at his sheet rope. The window was locked, damn it he had not thought of that. He had no time to try another window, he just pushed off the window with his feet. He swung back and then his feet crashed into the window, it flowerd out as the glass began to brake, but stayed. He tried again and this time it opend up sending hin trhough a wall of glass shards. His jacket helped protect him but he got dozzens of small cuts on him. He went in letting go of the rope as it came away from the froce of his swing. He landed head first on a table, there was a flash of light and then he was out cold. The sound of shattering glass from a corridor on floor ten reachs the others. "Sounds like another creautre out to get us... we ought to get off this floor and get to the kitchen... come on boys and gals day light is wasteing" Patrick said as he started down the stairs ahead of them. |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 29 2004, 02:14 PM |
| Shotoken smirked ever so slightly. he recognized that sound. it was somONE, not something coming through the window. "Sorry buddy, but I'm a fan of checking out noises. You better come along, caige." Shotoken waited for caige's answer, not taking his eyes off of patrick. Any normal person would be scared to death by shotoken's eyes. They didn't have that look of innocence in them anymore. All you could see was deceit and betrayal, and a powerful urge to kill. it was as though a demon had taken shotoken's place to fight for him, and very few people would willingly go up against him after seeing that. OOC: This is gettin' interesting! Shotoken's gone into "kill" mode and there's a fake patrick! Who will win? A creature of obvious evil or one who is willing to give his life to save another? Tune in to find out! |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jun 29 2004, 04:32 PM |
| "Ug...err..." Patrick rolled over and for a monet regained himself, he was till to groggy and could ahrdly move but at least he was alive. His eyes squinted for a moment and then the blurred world came into focus for only a moment. He could see himself in a silver plate which had fallen when he crashed in, but his reflection was not his own... it was of the manager. He saw this clearly for a moment and then collapsed again, his head still hurt and he just could not keep awake yet. Patrick walked up ahead of Shotoken and pointed at the body one the floor. "Well looks like the managers had a little bit of an accident, knocked himself clean out... well boy what you waiting for, you wnated a clear shot at him and i aint never seen a shot like this before... he is hardly breathing, my guess is he was not fast enough with the magics when one of those monsters showed up that he had no control over... go on boy stab him, then maybe you will clam down and help us escape." |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 29 2004, 05:13 PM |
| Shotoken held his knife, but didn't make a move. "That's not my style. If I'm going to defeat him, it'll be one on one, at his best. I don't defeat my foes when they can't defend themselves. it has no honor to it." he watched something. he could tell that their roles were reversed. The manager said he was god here. He wouldn't need to jump through a window. on the other hand, patrick would. the manager would be able to alter his and patrick's appearance pretty well. It seemed obvious now, but he kept calm, and kept his eyes looking as though he would kill you with his bare hands the instant you did anything but follow him. |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 29 2004, 08:14 PM |
| Caige followed along with the other two, staying far back from both, keeping a neutral look to her as they went. She trusted both of them about as far as she could throw them, which wasn't far. Looking to the form on the floor she sighed, knowing right away who it was. The energy was right, and the little fact he was injured worked for her. The manager had mentioned of his"power" and on her thoughts of it, he proably could avoid an injury like that, and wouldn't need to use a window to get around the place. She moved up next to Shotoken and glared at the one standing before them. |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jun 30 2004, 03:21 AM |
| "Boy you are going to regret that move soon i can almost garantee it... well we wait for him to get up then and then you can kill him on his feet... if you can?" Patrick said as he waited for their moves to be made. The real Patrick finally was comming two, his head still hurt and his vision swam but he was awake. He slowly got to his feet and saw three blurrs that slowly formed. One was Caige... one was Shotoken and the final was... him? "Hey kid where you get the clone?" He meant to ask but instead it came out in the heavy texas like accent of the manager and said completly diffrent things. "Damn it cant belive that stuipd beast got past me... put down the magci for one darn second and the things punce ya... what is the world comming to if you cant walk the halls of your own hotel with out your magic... well what we got here? Well if it aint the kids and the old fella, how you doing there partners. Still mad at me kid, want a shot? I can give it you, come on now my magics down or i would not be in this condition, here i will even remove my gun." Patricks hand moved on its own and let a gun drop from his belt, where had that come from? "Ok kid here is your shot, your one and only shot... no magic, no weapons... just you and me." |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 30 2004, 07:01 AM |
| Shotoken still clutched his knife. He had figured it out, but he was gonna play along. "You're weak in this state. You rely on magic and a gun. Losing those is like fighting without your arms. You're easily beaten. If I'm going to fight you it'll be when you're at your best. I refuse to win against an already weakened opponent." He was ready to make a stab at the one tht looked like patrick. He'd aim for a painful spot, instead of a fatal one. Either patrick would be in some serious pain, or the manager would reveal himelf. And either one worked for shotoken right now. With that, he quickly stabbed his knife into the fake patrick's arm, twisting it but never letting go of it. "Besides, chances are you're the manager. You easily snuck up on us without us hearing a thing, and I have damn good hearing, the only time you showed emotion was when you thought of harming an innocent, and the real patrick would want to talk me out of just taking out the manager like this, not try and make me kill him in a weakened state. Now how about killing your little illusion?" Shotoken smirked a bit. He knew at this point he was similar to the manager, but there was one difference: he could never take joy in the loss of an innocent person's life. Then again, the manager wasn't exactly innocent. |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jun 30 2004, 08:38 AM |
| there was pain on his face but also a smile moved across his lips. 'Bout time you figured it out boy... i was just about to try a big neon sign saying liar on it... but you were only half right, this aint no illusion and you fell for it like the idiot you really are. This is a body swap not fake, this is really Patricks Body... and that one is really mine... and i think its time to go home." There a moment as his eyes galzed over then they came back, Patrick then colpased down grabbing his arm blood flowing freely from the wound. "See boy if you had done as i said you would be the winners and i would be the loser... but you are such a fool boy it took even this childs play trick to beat ya...now Patirck there was the only one even close to figureing a way out of this place... but after what hes been through if he last the night i would be very supirsed, thanks boy could not have done it with out you." The manager said smileing as his body wounds disaperd and reaperd on Patricks body where they belonged. " You see with all the blood loss... i dont think he will be strong enough to fight the monsters here... hes just dead weight if you look after him, so the fly in my oinment the monkey wrench in my gears now is gone and i hardly had to do a thing. Soon you will be compeltly in my world, then we will fight boy... we will fight all you want. till then i will be seeing ya soon, real soon boy." The amnager vanished like he was just a mirage, Patrick managed to keep his head up for a moment more then he fainted from his head wound and the blood loss. |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 30 2004, 09:23 AM |
| Shotoken's eyes gained that innocence again, as he quickly caught patrick, setting him down on the ground, and then he began using his knife to cut a large strip out of his pants, tying it around patrick's wound as a makeshift bandage. "Dammit, that bastard tricked me. Caige, you know where there's a first aid kit or anything like that? This'll slow down the blood flow, but we really need to disinfect it and put a real bandage on it." |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jun 30 2004, 03:00 PM |
| Patrick was unable to think starit, for one second when he went back to his own body he had brushed with the mind of the manager and now his thoughts swirled round his own. He started to mumble a little in his sleep. "Got to hurry... time limit... phaseing... hes comming... Steve-o knows who escaped before.... lucky he wont talk anything that has not got to do with cleaning... hurry..." Then he slipped back completly to the safety of the darkness. |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 30 2004, 07:02 PM |
| "Theres one in my bag back in my room, its got everything we need. I couldn't use anything in it after my accident because nothing was serious enough. Want me to go get it, or do we try to move him?" Her eyes had an odd calm to them, panicing now could cost them big time. |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 30 2004, 07:10 PM |
| Shotoken quickly thought it out. he could easily drag patrick, but things would get ugly if they were attacked. On the other hand, caige would have to go slower most likely, but he'd be able to use his knife if the shit hit the fan more easily. He went with the quick option. "We'll take him there. pick an end to lift up and grab it." |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 30 2004, 07:16 PM |
| Caige nodded and moved down to Patricks feet, kneeling down "Ready?" |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 30 2004, 07:19 PM |
| Shotoken somewhat easily lifted patrick's upper body. "yeah." |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 30 2004, 07:27 PM |
| Caige lifted Patricks feet carefully and looked to Shotoken "Your in front, so keep in mind, second floor, room 76, right across from the lifts" All they could do was hope nothing was waiting for them on the way.... |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 30 2004, 07:36 PM |
| "Right." he slowly began walking, with caige helping carry patrick. Eventually they made it into the room, shotoken setting patrick onto the bed. "Get the first aid kit." |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 30 2004, 07:42 PM |
| Caige nodded and moved to the bag by the door, picking it up, dropping several game based books, one of her good shoes, a few pictures onto the table next to it, pulling her med. bag out, tossing it to him "Everything should be in there, just set the perscription bottles on the table there." |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 30 2004, 07:49 PM |
| "Thanks." he quickly went through it, setting any bottle he came across where caige told him to, until eventually he found the bandaging. he untied the strip of cloth he had used, wrapping the bandaging around the wound a few times quite tightly, then cutting off the end and tying it into a simple but effective knot. After that, he quickly and excellently replaced everything in the exact spot it was in before he used it, closing up the first aid kit and handing it back to caige. " That damn manager tricked me like I was some little kid...I'm gonna get him for that, even if getting him just means getting all of us out of here. Either way, I'm gonna make sure you escape safely, even if it means I'm stuck here for life." |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 30 2004, 07:58 PM |
| "Thats something we're going to try to avoid....* Caige put the first aid bag back and then shoved the novels and shoe back into the bag. Setting it back down she moved to the bathroom, and after a few seconds of the sound of running water she returned with a wet rag, which she folded and put onto Patricks forehead. "Loss of blood and fatuige like this can cause really bad fevers, this can help at least keep it at bay for a while"... |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 30 2004, 08:10 PM |
| "True, but the point remains." He watched as caige put the rag on patricks head, and explained about blood loss and fatigue causing fevers and all that. "You definately know a lot more than I do. When it comes to this stuff, I just cover up whatever's bleeding, drink some soda, and get back to moving. Of course, when you consider that I don't even have a home, what choice do I have?" Shotoken just started staring at the ground. he remember it all like it was yesterday...his parents had finally pushed him too far with the destroying his games and his anime, saying he would never be worth anything if he didn't follow in their footsteps...He remembered as he killed them with his bare hands...he even remembered the looks on their faces as they realized they had gone too far and they were going to pay the price. it was a sickening memory, and soon after he packed a few game consoles and a laptop into an oversized backpack, running off. He eventually had to sell the laptop to pay for food. Luckily it kept him going until he could do simple part time work. All he had to do was explain his sittuation and he'd get a corner in the back room, and outlet to charge everything he had that needed charging, and a decent paycheck. he'd just go from place to place, work for a day or two, get his money and leave. All he had were enemies, and caige was the first thing he had that counted as a friend, and only the third girl he had ever fallen in love with... "Oh well, you probably don't want to hear my pathetic story anyways. it's just a bunch of screwups one right after another." |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 30 2004, 08:34 PM |
| Caige looked at him and raised an eyebrow "You've been alone like this for a long time haven't you?" She could see it in his face, they had drifters like him back home. He was too good to have led the life he'd had so far, he deserved a home and friends. He was the first friend she'd had since her brother had been killed in an accident about four years ago, and she wasn't sure quite yet, but she seemed to be developing a crush on him, one of two in her years, the other one had been tragiclly ended, and she had given up on things like love or caring about others. "Its your choice, but pasts are just that, pasts." She grew quiet again and looked around the room |

| "yeah, since I was ten. It's a long story, but basically I had to leave home and wander since then. Whenever I end up in a town I find a place looking for work and explain my situation. They usually let me sleep in the back room, but if not I just sleep in the park or something. I work for a few days, sometimes a week, then I get my paycheck, buy some food and sometimes a game or a book or something, and leave again. Oh well, like you said, the past is the past, It's better not to worry about it. Besides, there's one advantage. I've seen most of what there is to see in the US, and I was actually in europe once. I figure one day I'll get it to spending a month or so in places, or maybe even stsying in one place. But that'll only really happen if I meet the right girl. Until then, I'm happy with wandering." He looked at caige. She seemed kind of uneasy about something... "What about you? You have a family and friends and all that, or are you a wanderer like me?" |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 30 2004, 09:19 PM |
| Caige sighs and looks down " Wanderer like you I guess.I left home about two years ago and have been staying with relatives all over the place. My mom and dad split up after my brother died about four years ago, and I got sick of being tossed between the two like I was a hassle, and the shrink appointments after one of my little "freedom" attempts. I took my moms cash card, emptied her account, and took off. I've been traveling almost continually for the last year, can't stand to be around many people anymore. I've been considering going home for a while, but when I decided I wanted to, I ended up here..." Her voice broke a bit at the end and she stopped, obviously trying to get a grip on herself. Thinking about what was left of her family really hurt for some reason.. |

| "I see... At least you HAVE a family...mine died four years ago. They always threw away my games, burned my manga, broke my anime DVDs... They were always saying it wouldn't get me anywhere...My dream was actually to design games. Either write the stories and the scripts and stuff, or design the characters. They tore up all my scripts. Some of them were actually pretty good...One day that pushed me a little too far. Before I knew what I was doing, I had killed them with my bare hands. I can still remember the looks on their faces when they realized they couldn't back out of this one...The whole thing sickens me. After I realized what I did, I grabbed an oversized backpack, shoved a few clothes, a game console or two, an old laptop and whatever I could find in the kitchen into it, and ran off. I've been on the road ever since. Kind of a downer, huh?" Shotoken actually smiled a bit. he never really thought that there were people who understood the kind of things he had dealt with, especially not a girl as cute as caige! Things might actually get better once they figured out a way out. |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 30 2004, 09:36 PM |
| "Kind of a downer?...That doesn't even cut the story"Caige smiled weakly. She was glad to have someone to talk to, and who would talk to her, not down to her. Shotoken had to be younger than her, but probably not more than a year or two. She started to speak again when the room went cold "Oh no.....their back....." |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 30 2004, 09:40 PM |
| Shotoken felt it get colder as well, instinctively clutching his knife. "What do you mean, "they're back"? Just who are they?" Shotoken knew what he would do if the shit began hitting the fan like it seemed it would. he would protect caige. Even if he hadn't fallen in love with her, she had a family to go to. he didn't have anybody, except maybe, well, her. it was wired into every single instinct he had: Protect those you care for and those who have people to return to. The ones with purpose should live, the ones without prupose should protect the ones with purpose. Either way, that's what he planned to do, as his grip tightened on the knife. |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 30 2004, 10:06 PM |
| looking around the room, fixating on a spot near the bathroom door, she froze her gaze as the two shadows moved into the room, but they faded out again, the cold leaving the room as they did "......Okkay....what just happened....the energy seemed upset about something...." Caige looked back at Shotoken " I think they only go after someone when their alone.....thats the only time they show up......They were ticked because you were here....." She seemed a bit confused, but very relived as she looked at him " I guess this is the part where I say my hero. If it weren't for you, I'd probably be raving by now........" |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 30 2004, 10:10 PM |
| Shotoken smiled a bit, but it faded quickly enough. "I'm no hero. I was here at the right time and got them to leave with my presence. I don't call that a hero. Oh well, it's over now." He smiled ever so slightly. He was just glad that was over quickly enough. he was more interested in talking with caige. She was really amazing, and didn't deserve all the things that had gone wrong in her life. Shotoken might've deserved it, but she didn't. "So, what was it you were going to say before that happened?" |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 30 2004, 10:20 PM |
| "Oh, I was going to say that they really aren't family, their just the people who promised my parents I could stay with them if I ever got into trouble of something....And your parents were real suck heads if they did that, they should've appreiciated your talents and let you go on with what you were doing." She blushed a bit as she finished speaking. She was really begining to like him! "I used to want to be a writer, but none of my stories worked out right. The one story I was ever proud of was "too dark" according to the shrink, and he shreaded it in front of me......Lets just say there was an almondy tasting poison in his coffee next appointment.." |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 30 2004, 10:25 PM |
| Shotoken just smiled a bit. She was really a lot like him in some ways. "Guess our stories really aren't that different then. We both got pushed too far and ended up on the road. We just ended up reacting differently in the beginning. And that shrink deserved to die if he said it was too dark and shredded it like that. Of course, the only thing that's too dakr to me is my own memory of what I did, so I'm not the best person to talk to about that kinda thing, but still." He wasn't really sure what was happening in his head, but he was really liking her more and more by the second. |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 30 2004, 10:36 PM |
| Caige sat down against the wall and leaned her head back "I guess your right.....and it was their own fault...they deserved it...." She looked at him and sighed, lookng down at the floor now " I think I'm starting to like you.....but that might be a bad thing....emotional attachment has always been a bad thing for me....."She sighed |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 30 2004, 10:42 PM |
| Shotoken just looked at caige. Did he hear what he thought he heard?! Yep, he did. Half of him wanted to do a little dance, the other half wanted to stay calm and keep that calm exterior he always had, and another part just wanted to do the deed with caige, but he quickly shut out that part. "I think this time is different. In the past, I'm willing to bet the people you cared about had their own thing to do, their own purpose, all of that. I don't have anything like that. my only purpose in life is to find the right girl, be with her my entire life, and see as much of the world as I can. And I'd gladly give one of those up if it meant being with you." Shotoken couldn't help smiling a bit. This time it was a real smile, not the half smirk he always used that always seemed to show he didn't care, so shut up or he'd rip random parts outta ya till he found the one that would shut ya up. This time he really cared about what had made him smile like that. And this time, he was willing to work to make both him and caige a little happier after all of this. |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 30 2004, 10:54 PM |
| "Pretty soon something will happen, and you'll be gone, and I'll be miserable because every last once of true emotion I've got will be gone with you..."Caige stood and looked at him. "The way things are going you and that asshole upstairs are going to have a major falling out, your gonna get killed, and then what?...." what she was speaking with was a raw emotion, she was speaking from the experiance of her last and only boyfriend, whos death had left a major impact on her. |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 30 2004, 10:57 PM |
| Shotoken just sighed, smiling that same genuine smile that was so rare for him. "If you don't want me to, I won't fight him. I'm not going to die because of doing something as foolish as going up against him, and I wouldn't even consider it if I knew you didn't want me to." |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 30 2004, 11:15 PM |
| The desperate look was fading from Caiges eyes and the high color from her cheeks, she was calming down now. Her sudden act out there should have been able to tell him something about how much she liked him. "Just be careful.....he'll do something to get you to fight. He'll find some way to trick you...."She looked down at Patrick and then back to Shotoken" This should serve as a reminder....." |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 30 2004, 11:21 PM |
| Shotoken just sighed, thinking about this whole mess. "You're right. That guy would do anything to trick me and piss me off so I'll try and fight him. And we saw what happened when I did. I ended up getting smacked around. The only reason I can even still move normally after that is because I've gotten good at taking hits over the years, and it still hurt like hell when he did it... Ah well. I've got no idea if it's late or not, but I'm starting to get kind of tired. See ya whenever I wake up..." He began walking to the door, although he was seriously hoping caige would tell him to just sleep in here. Of course, the chances of that happening were zero to none. he barely knew her! he didn't know a lot about girls, but from his few encounters in the last four years, he sure as hell knew it would take more than his little fantasies to even be in the same room as caige. That didn't stop the fantasies, though. |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 30 2004, 11:29 PM |
| "Hey.....the room just past that door is empty, you could sleep in there..."She pointed to a door just on the other side of the bed, which lead to room 75" It would be a lot easier on me if you'd stay down here, incase I need help with him." she nodded towards Patrick, but there was an insecurity in her voice said she wanted him to stay close |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 30 2004, 11:34 PM |
| Shotoken smiled ever so slightly. it was definately better than being stuck in his own room, even if that was the only one where the most insane thing that'll happen is your game console going screwy. "Sure, okay." he could detect that insecurity, and decided to work it towards what could easily be everyone's advantage. "Hey, would you prefer if I slept in here?" |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 30 2004, 11:41 PM |
| "Is there a place where you would be comfortable?" the room had a set of easy chairs and the bed, that was it |
| Posted by: yalborap Jun 30 2004, 11:43 PM |
| Shotoken smiled a bit more, snagging one of two pillows off of the bed. "I can sleep on the floor. I'm used to that kidna thing by now." he tossed the pillow onto the ground, almost collapsing onto it and using his shirt as a blanket, quickly falling asleep while smiling for the first time in four years. |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jun 30 2004, 11:49 PM |
| Caige nodded to him and grabed her bag, leaning with her back against the bed, she pulled out one of the Resident Evil books and began to read to herself, dozing out before finishing the chapter, head propped up on her knees, the book laying over one of her feet |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jul 1 2004, 03:29 AM |
| Patricks eyes shot open, he knew it he knew nearly all of it... only the most deep secrets were kept from him now. He could hardly move at all, it hurt to much but he had to move, if those two were to live he had to get up. He could see him like an after imae, just floating around in the room walking to Caige. He tried to speak but nothing, just a little squeak.... he had to wake them up. "W...waa... WAKE UP!" He manged to yell out as he sid his legs over the edge, his shoes touching down just as pain flared right through him. The manger came back in to their vision of the spectrum. He grabbed Caige holding her with one hand and with the other had his silver pistol held to he temple. "Boy i dont know how you knew i was here but it dont matter... hey Shotoken boy what do you say this time... going to fail the little lady?" He started to laugh as Patrick got up right swaing on his feet, his head swiming with pain. "Now thats enough Patrick my boy one more step and i blow her head off and the boy there can fall in love with a corpse..." Patrick stopped, then smiled himself. "Ok then... Acapox." As he said that one word the managers eyes bulged, his made a gasping noise and lossend his hold on Caige, his gun moved off her temeple. Patrick wasted no time as he jumped as quickly as he could, he felt some wounds that had started to heal open gain and some became worse. He barged his good shoulder right into the mangers gun hand. He let his gun go and was knocked clear of Caige. He felt agony seathing right through his body and over the scream of pain as he hit the floor he hamged to yell out. "Quick finish him..." But the manager had all ready vanished along with his gun. "You ok kid... cause i dont think i am." Patrick said as his head hit the floor afetr lfiting it a littte... he was just to tried now to do anything, but could not sleep again... he was stuck here for a little while longer. |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 1 2004, 09:13 AM |
| Shotoken shot up, barely seeing what happened. his hand instinctively went for his knife, but by the time he was up, the manager had already faded away. "Dammit, he got away..." he walked over to caige, kneeling next to her. "Hey caige you okay? He didn't hurt you at all, did he?" He was really worried about caige. That manager would kill her her off without a second thought just to get him angry, and that was what really had him worried. OOC: And no, shotoken is NOT wearing a shirt right now, and while he isn't ripped, he's definately got some muscle there that would be easily noticed in this shirtless state. |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jul 1 2004, 08:39 PM |
| "Yes I'm okay, he just scared me..."Caige sat up shakily and looked over to Patrick,moving over to him quickly grabbing for her bag, sounding almost astounded, but speaking in a whisper" How did he know he was here, I didn't even pick up on him until he had me?......" She started rifling through the first aid bag, serching for something to help with the pain, but that wouldn't make him sick or dull his senses, but she had nothing save the morphine she carried. Looking back to Shotoken, she sighed" Should I give it to him?" |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 1 2004, 08:50 PM |
| Shotoken watched calmly, just glad that caige hadn't been hurt. "Too risky. unless you know the exact right amount to give him, we can't risk him being out of this due to an overdose. With that trick he just pulled he'll still be useful in this state." Shotoken just stared straight ahead. He had failed...he had three honest beliefs when it came to protecting others: protect those you care for, those with purpose should be protected by those without purpose, and those who can't defend themselves should be defended by those who can. Caige fit the first two, and he was useless... it was eating at him. he always lost people because he couldn't protect them. If they made it out of this, he would never allow himelf to be useless and unable to protect caige again. "For now, I think we should just keep him still. It would probably be a good idea to explain all of this to the others later on, but for now we just need to calm down and relax. Think they'll have any soda to steal in the kitchen?" Shotoken smirked a bit. You could tell it wasn't his usual "I'm going to take you out, and I'm gonna enjoy it" kind of smirk. it was more of a "Might as well have a little fun with this" kind of smirk. |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jul 1 2004, 09:06 PM |
| "Always worth checking." Caige looked at Shotoken, a bit worried by the look in his eyes "just be careful, I doubt we can trust any of the workers here, and theres bound to be some cooks down there in the kitchen. I'll see what I can do for Patrick here okay?" |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 1 2004, 09:13 PM |
| "K. Trust me, I'll be back in five minutes." Shotoken smiled a bit, snagging his shirt and tossing it on, buttoning it up as he left the room, which honestly made it look like hanky panky had happened in the room overnight, as he walked towards the kitchen, slowing down to not make any noise, and slipping in, slipping back out a few minutes later with a few cans of mountain dew and dr. pepper. about halfway back, he broke into a run, making it back in roughly five minutes. "Told ya I'd be back in five minutes. Want a soda?" he set the various cans down, snagging one of the mountain dews and chugging it, practically thanking whatever god might possibly exist as the cool, bubbly fluid slid down his throat. "I really needed that. At least now I can think straight. So, just how long is he going to be stuck like that?" |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jul 1 2004, 09:18 PM |
| Caige grabbed a can of Dr.Pepper and sighed, opening it " Until his muscles calm down, those wounds all stop bleeding and we get something in him to help with replacement of the lost blood. Basiclly...I have no idea. I gave him a shot of a hemostat to slow the blood flow from the wounds and help them clot a bit quicker, but it could still be a while."She then proceeded to swallow half the can of pop. |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 1 2004, 09:30 PM |
| Shotoken was honestly having a hard time digesting all of this stuff. he knew how to fight and how to keep his opponent down for a long time, but he knew absolutely nothing about how to make his wounds heal faster. Even if he didn't love caige, she'd be worth being with in a purely strategical sense. But then again, he never thought about strategy, just fighting his own way and winning that way. "I see. So, just where were ya born?" He wanted to keep caige's mind off of all of this for a decent amount of time. She didn't deserve to have to deal with all of this. All she had done was have a couple of really bad things happen at once that forced her to live on her own. Shotoken deserved whatever he got, but she was still pretty innocent. |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jul 1 2004, 09:36 PM |
| Caige gave him a sideways look and smiled a bit" I was born in a hippie commune in Utah, then my parents decided to change lifestyles and become heartless corperate sharks and moved us to Cinncinati,Ohio. Where did you start out?" |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 1 2004, 09:43 PM |
| "San diego for me. Pretty cool place, but way too hot. After what happened I ended up in texas for a while, then nevada, then I just kept going till I was in ohio about two years ago. I gotta admit, it was a pretty decent state. Eventually I ended up somewhere in northern california. I was planning on heading for new york then getting my ass on a boat to some place where nobody had heard my name, but before I could I ended up here. Of course, it ain't so bad, since you're here. hell, I'd willingly stay my entire life if it meant being with you." Shotoken smiled ever so slightly. He had never really said those words and meant them before, but this time he really would do that if it meant being with caige. But that was unlikely. They were going to escape. But he didn't want to think about that for a decent amount of time. |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jul 1 2004, 10:07 PM |
| Caige blushed deeply and took another drink from the can of Dr.Pepper. She didn't really like to think about being stuck here, but Shotoken seemed to make being here a bit less stressful at least. For the moment though she could barely think straight. "I....I have to say the same....At least things around here wouldn't be boring..." She was making small talk, trying to get her train of though back and that was visible in her eyes and face |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 1 2004, 10:18 PM |
| "I guess they wouldn't. But that's only what's gonna happen if we can't get out, and we're sure as hell gonna get out. I've always fought better than normal when I'm protecting someone, and with that trick of patrick's we have a chance against the manager. All we've got to do is hit him hard and fast, then we can make him open the door, and we're free. of course, I really would prefer staying with you after that, but that isn't ever going to happen..." Shotoken just sighed a bit. he knew she was starting to like him, but what was the chance of anything actually happening? Not very likely. This'd be over, she wouldn't want to see him again, he'd go one way and she'd go the other, and he would never see her again. But he shouldn't be thinking about that. He had to look on the bright side. She was already starting to like him, and at this rate it would be more than just starting by the time they would escape. And even if that didn't happen, he'd be happy knowing that for once he didn't get booted into a pond for saying what he did. OOC: This is kinda out there, but if you have AIM it'd be pretty interesting to keep these characters going after they escape the hotel. You interested? |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jul 1 2004, 10:41 PM |
| "And how do you know thats not going to happen. When I make a friend, or, in your case, love interest, I cling to them like grim death, which in this situation could not be far off for either of us...." Caige smiled slightly, finding herself quoting a very bad tv show she'd seen once, but it was the truth. She wasn't really sure how things where going to end here, but she wanted to stay with him no matter what happened....... OOC: I don't have an AIM account sorry, but I'd like to keep it going too. I'll see if I can figure out something. |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 1 2004, 10:47 PM |
| Shotoken smiled a bit. he honestly never thought he'd hear the words love interest applied to him. "That actually makes me kind of glad, but trust me, we're not gonna die in a place like this. We're gonna get out alive, and chances are never mention it to anyone who wasn't in here ever again. hey, how do you think your parents would react if they met me and you told them I was your boyfriend or something like that? Think they'd try and shove me into the shower or out the front door?" he smiled a bit again. he could get used to the idea of being with caige for quite some time. OOC: We could always use PMs, that way we wouldn't have to be on at the same time. Would that work? |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jul 1 2004, 10:59 PM |
| Caige laughed a bit" Well, most likely my mom would say" Does your Father know about this?" then tell you to take your shoes off and make yourself at home....Daddy on the other hand......he'd meet us at the door with shotgun in tow until I explained who you were, then he'd be cold to you for a few days, but sooner or later he'd like you." This felt very strange, having this conversation, but for some reason it was relaxing. Shotoken was great to talk with, and not being on the subject of their surroundings really helped too. OOC: That works |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 1 2004, 11:08 PM |
| "You've definately got interesting parents, to say the least. Of course, I'm not that surprised at the shotgun. Anybody with a brain bigger than a penny would want to protect you from anybody who would even think of harming you. Ah well, at least things wouldn't be boring if we ended up with your parents." Shotoken smiled a bit. That seemed to be a very common occurence around caige lately. he was enjoying talking to her like this, and he could see that she wasn't as worried about this whole mess now that she had her mind off of it. OOC: Okay then, but for now we need to try and get them out of the hotel alive, THEN we can insert the wandering around the country and the hilarious scenarios that come from meeting caige's parents. |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jul 1 2004, 11:25 PM |
| "Or so you think. I'm not sure about Dad, but Moms kinda reverted back to her "earth child" ways. When I left she was on the edge of loosing her job because she'd stopped complying with corperation dress code. Dad, last time I was at his place he was still working strong, but thinking of quitting. You really never know." Caige smiled at him. She was glad to see Shotoken smile. It was obvious to her that he had had very little to smile at or about the past few years, and making him smile made her feel better as well. OOC:Should it happen, it could be interesting. |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 1 2004, 11:32 PM |
| "Interesting... Well, things are gonna be entertaining, at least." He continued smiling ever so slightly. He knew he was really going to enjoy being with caige after this ended. of course, first it had to end, but once patrick was moving around again that seemed pretty likely, and without any casulties. At least, none on their side. |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jul 2 2004, 03:55 AM |
| "Anyone get the number of that truck.?" Patrick sat up a bit, his still hurt and his head was still swiming a bit. "Ok kids we got to talk... by the way thanks Shotoken for the stab wound... least you didnt kill me. But that mvoe of his seems to of back fired, i brushed aginst his mind... now it seems i can see right through all his illusions and have a few of his thoughts and memories. Thats how i knew he was going to be here and i could see him, i also know we have a time limit here... and hes after you Shotoken. Time limits are two fold... you see the longer we are here the more we pahse into his world, and its only in his world where his power would be absolute and he could kill us with out effort. The second time limit is that his boss is comming by for a vist very soon, if you see him you are both to run, dont stop just run you cant beat him. He is tall, has shoulder length white hair and his eyes are black... coverd in black smoke. Now kid he is after you cause he sees you as a weak link, if you chalange him it wont matter how phased in you are, he can kill you... he was not going to kill Caige he has not phased in enough yet... he was going to take her... torture her and rape her before rerutning her to you, thinking it would be enough to send you into a blind rage. You got to control your rage kid, it feeds him and speeds up your phaseing into his world. Now he does know someone escaped, and he hates it but i cant tell who or how... but Steve-o does know, but he wont talk about anything but cleaning... so i got an idea... it aint ready yet but give me a little time." |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 2 2004, 09:52 AM |
| Shotoken just stayed calm, looking at patrick. "I figured it was an illusion, not a body switch. Either way, figure out that idea. And nothing he culd do to caige would put me into a blind rage, merely make me an emotionless killer, calculating his every move. it would backfire against him just like that body switch did. For now, all we can do is stay calm, if rage really does phase us into his world faster." |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jul 2 2004, 10:01 AM |
| "keeping calm wont help for long... hes orderd everyone off this floor... its clean of monsters and staff. He wnats to wait us out, if we think we are safe he hopes we might stay here untill we completly phase through. That means this floor for now is a safe haven for us, totaly protected from all the hotel has to offer." Patrick coughed a little bit of blood up, he wiped it on his torn shirt and then went on talking. "You two will have to do a lot of leg work, i can hardly move as it is. You need to go to the ground floor, in the check in room. Thats where Steve-o is right now, cleaning up. You need to learn all you can from him then come back here so we can plan more.. if you see any other guests try to get them to join us, power in numbers. Now i think there is a way to get round Steve-o's little quirk, you have to make the subject about cleaning in some way if you want to learn a damn thing from him. I was going to do it myself, tell himsomething like i needed to go back and clean my very dirty car....but then the manager sent me to floor 13 for a time out i barely survived. Do something like that and he might tell us something. I will stay here, cant do much else... avoid the other staff and keep an eye out for monsters, demons and espicaly for Acapox and his boss... if you see Acapox try to ignore him, but dont fight him... if you see his boss then you run, run back here and dont look back. Thats all i got for now... i think i am going to sleep some more, try and get some enrgy back..." Patrick started to close his eyes and drift off. |

| Caige kept a calm face, but having heard what her fate would have been...something inside seemed to snap and she went blank eyed and stood quickly, grabbing the medical bag from beside her she rushed for the bathroom, practically slamming the door shut behind her. " That bastard!"She growled to herself" I'd rather kill myself and spend eternity in the ninth ring of hell than risk having something like that happen. Hell, just a few nights ago it almost happened, and that was way too close...I oughta..."Everything finally caught up with her at that moment, cutting her thoughts off as she became ill and her stomach rebelled against her. After a few minuets she returned, flushed and shaky, but much calmer than she had been when she went in. Looking down at Patrick who had gone back to sleep, she sighed and looked up to Shotoken. "Shall we work out a plan, or just go into this with nothing than our quick wits?" The last had a tinge of sarcasam in it, it was the only way Caige could stay sane anymore. |

| Shotoken stayed perfectly calm. Of course, he had lied. If anything happened to caige, it probably WOULD send him into a blind rage. Luckily, nothing happened and he still remained calm. "A simple plan. We need to remember the variables. We don't know the manager's limits, how many monsters he could use, if the staff can fight, we don't know any of it. Our best bet is to just find a way out and use it. I'll go try getting steve-o to tell us how to get out." He set his knife down on a nearby table, opening the door. "I'm leaving my knife here. Use it if you have to." He walked out of the room, heading for the stairs. "If that dumbass manager even thinks of doing something that sickening to caige, I'll kill him with my bare hands...I can go a lot longer on adrenaline than he can keep those magic tricks up..." He started to head down the stairs, still hoping nothing would happen to caige, and fully prepared to rip the manager's throat out if anything did happen... |

| in the checkin room the dorman stays still as he allways does, the triplets are back but are asleep at their desk and cleaning it is the cleaner Steve-o. "Got to get it clean, boss is comming... big man himself dont want a spec of dirt any where, no sir not a spec... got to keep the place clean, cant let dirt win." He keeps mumbling to himself like this and will ignore anything that has not got something to do with cleaning. Patricks sleep was only light, he almost woke several times but forced himself back down, asleep he was safe and felt no pain. Here he also could see the mangers thoughts and memories, see he told the truth that his side was close to a victory. He knew the manager only kept an illusion up, he was stronger and smarter then them, only something he had not forseen really shook him up and his boss of course. Patrick saw one memory where the manger watched his boss, Daimius bring a man to his knees with just a look. Daimius wore a black cloak he pushed back to show himself to this man, a demon monster really who had failed him. His eyes were coverd in baclk smoke which slowly began to fade away, the manger turned away as that happend, then there was screaming. Daimius was filling the failuer with his feeling, his pian and it was more then even its mind could take... it was left almost lifless on the floor, its mind nothing but sludge. Daimius then just looked for a moment more and then the body was on fire. Shotoken better becareful around Daimius, unlike the manager he was dangerous beyond all reason and not one for a mortal man to deal with. |

| Caige watched him go and sighed, hoping he would be careful. She looked down to Patrick and grabbed a blanket off the bed, covering him lightly before slipping back into the bathroom for a shower. After a few moments she returned, fixing up the room a bit and sitting down on the bed. Unable to stay still for very long she stood, moving to the door. "I'll only be gone a few minuets, and I won't be leaving the floor. I just have to get out of here for a few minuets"she whispered to herself, slipping out into the quiet hallway. It was almost uncomfortably quiet in the hall, the noticable lack of static and energy making it seem much bigger now. Stopping for a moment, she streched her legs before starting off at a jogging pace. Once she'd compleated a few laps through the halls she sat down outside the door to the room and breathed for a while, listening to the silence. |

| Shotoken finished going downstairs, walking up to steve-o. "Hey, think you can help me? I left my apartment a mess and I need to get home to clean it up. Can you tell me how to get back to it so I can clean it?" |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jul 4 2004, 07:31 AM |
| Steve-o stops cleaning and looks right at Shotoken, his face shocked at the idea of a dirty place. "Oh no cant leave any hwere dirty... you have to go home and clean it as fast as you can... only one person has ever left the hotel though... name was Noaka Kato, he visted the manager who he had a fight with... came out worse... was all bloody and i had to clean that up, blood is hard to clean and so much of it round the hotel... but he did not give in, he walked out thoes doors..." Steve-o points to the doors of the hotel, leading to the void outside. "Was gone for hours, came back looking even worse, trialing blood all over my floor... also his pocket had something in it that was bleeding... some bloody thing. He went back to the mangers office and for a little while nothing happened... then the hotel shook like an earth quake hit it... so much clutter for me to clean up... the manger went into a rage, jumping round the hotel so angry, i never saw the guy again not even a body to put up in floor 13. All i know, but hurry and clean up... dirt is the...the..." He stops dead as the hotel doors revolve round and in walks a man wareing a black cloak with the hood covering his face. Steve-o screams and then ran off. The doorman started to cry, and shiver as he tried to speak. "Wel..we...we...hot....cal...wel..." He then broke down screaming and crying, his body falling to the floor as the man in the black cloak walked past. The triplets are now awake and also are coverd by the stink of fear as they push back away from whoever has just arrived. "Hello sir, can i take your cloak?" The triplets are also in tears and can hardly speak. His cloaks seems to fall away and tur into a cape isntead, and thus he is revealed. His hair is shoudler length and pure white, his eyes are coverd in black smoke, his compexion is white as snow his lips a blood red so bright it allmost blinds. He is more handsome then any man towalk the earth, putting even addoniss to shame. He wares a red and balck suit of armour, and a sword shines at his side the hilt looking alive. "Where is Acapox... do not bother i will find him myself..' He then looks at Shotoken, "Well what morsal do we have here?" His voice is calm and sweet but yet he is wrong. No matter how hard you may try he seems to force fear into your heart. No man can stand before him and hold his nerve, he eminate hate, fear, rage, pain suffering and sorrow. Even the mighty emotional strength of Shotoken is no match for his effect, the closer he gets the stronger the effect gets casuing the young boy to brake down himself, paralysed with the fear of this monster in the shaoe of a man. This is something above and beyond Acapox the manager, a true horror. "Shotoken right?" He smiles as he kneels down, looking Shotoken in the eyes. "Yes you are... i am Daimius. You are mine child, you belong to me mind body and soul. I need only a little entrance to get into you... a little hate, a little fear... a litte evil is all i need and then you bleong to me. I infect you and spread like a cnacer... a wonderful tumor of true love... love in hate. I command you very soul Shotoken my child, my true child. I want to help you, just like any father would. I will end your pain, kill Caige and you will be free of it. Emotion is weakness and it will be gone, she will never hurt you again she wil be forever young and forever your love... to show true love you must kill her Shotoken... murder is the ultimate showing of love, hate and nager are the way my child... now go on and kill." No matter how hard you try to ignore him some of what he says seems to be true and starting to try and take over your way of thinking, his true power been shown to you. |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 4 2004, 10:26 AM |
| Shotoken stayed completely calm looking, even if he was scared as hell on the inside. "I don't have a father, and I never will. And I don't listen to orders from somebody I just met who has done nothing to prove himself but scare the three fat freaks behind the desk." He began to walk over to the stairs, never taking his eyes off of this guy, and not once acknowledging the possible truth in his words. "Oh, and just so you know, emotions are a strength, not a weakness. The only time I fight better than when I'm protecting a person I care for is when I'm avenging them. See ya." And with that, he ran like hell. In under a minute he was back in the room, which by all forms of logic would be safe, and forgetting logic, there was safety in numbers. "The manager's boss is here." |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jul 4 2004, 03:02 PM |
| Patrick is not there, but Daimius sits on the bed waiting for you to arrive smileing just as allways. "My child you are mine, i gave birth to your souls hate, its darkness its evil... thats why you belong to me. And dont lie, i know your scared of me, only the mad do not fear me as much as they should... even then they know that all i can offer is death and fear. I kill for it is what i am, i feed off it and have only a destiny to kill, to cause pian and suffering. Your emotions are not strengths my child, they are your weakness... i will prove it to you now, i will free you from this hotel... you and you alone. Abandon Caige and go back to the real world, you will lvie and we will never meet again? What do you say my child?" Daimisu waves an arm and the space to hsi side swirls and then turns into a doorway leading strait back to the same place Shotoken walked into the hotel, its real.. if you walk through you escape the hotel alive, the others will be left behind however and be food for Daimius. Patrick felt weird, the room had a strange double effect when he opend his eyes, there was where he was... and then like an afetr image was a man he knew as Daimius and Shotoken... he could also sense the manager was near by... he might be after a weakned Patrick, or Caige who was unarmed as far as he could remember... He could not move, even with only the after image Daimius caused a petrifying fear to fix him, he made some choked noises and then when silenet... |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 4 2004, 03:49 PM |
| Shotoken continued staying perfectly calm. The thought of abandoning caige removed his fear, and left only an intense urge to kill daimus where he stood for even suggesting such a vile act. "I'm afraid I can't do that. I'd give my own life before I'd abandon caige and the others. If you truly desire to take one person out of here and one person only, take her instead. She hasn't done anything to deserve this. I'm the one who's killed my own parents with my bare hands, not her. And trust me, when you're willing to fight even when you're guaranteed to lose your life if it means saving the one you love, that's a strength. The protectors and the avengers are the ones who are fighting at their fullest, not those who abandon the people they care for. Leaving those you care about behind only eats away at you if you have an ounce of humanity left, and I refuse to give up my humanity in trade for my freedom." Shotoken no longer felt fear when he watched daimus. He was actually kind of intrigued. What would make someone give up everything for power, and then desire to pass that strength onto another? "But can you at least tell me why it's me you want?" |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jul 4 2004, 08:59 PM |
| All Caige had seen was the blur trail she was sure had been Shotoken come breezing past her, but the door to the room had slammed shut before she could say anything to him, and now it seemed to be stuck, but she could feel something in there, her heart was beating so hard and fast from it that she could hear the blood pounding in her ears. She was kneeling next to the door, ear pressed against it, listening to the conversation going on inside. Somewhere deep down inside, that nagging voice began again, telling her to run, run as fast as she could and hide, but the other voice reminded her that in this place, nowhere was safe. As the internal debate went on and she listened in, footsteps behind her sent her flying down the hall to the stairwell, within a few seconds she was up on the seventh floor landing, kneeling next to the wall clutching the painful stich in her side. |

| "My child i dont want you i have you. All i need to fully own a persons soul is a little evil in it, you are a killer... more then enough my child." He waved away the portal and it was gone. "See how weak emotions have made you, unable to see that your life is the only important one, but no matter child you will understand it all soon. I think i have kept you busy long enough my child, Acapox his starting his plans, Caige has phased in enough for him to kill her my child and is right now hunting her with some of the staff... but other staff members are going after Patrick, lieing herein this room. You only have enough time to save one person, the other will be captured by Acapox no matter how hard you try... chose either your love, who is perfectly fit and most likly will only be tortured... or Patrick who can defeat the spells of Acapox and also is able to formulate a plan to escape from here. This i will be intresting to watch my child, very intresting... i will return you to one location... where Caige is, or leave you here to help Patrick, now chose... whoes life will you protect, remeber the wrong choice may lead to you been trapped here forever." "WHOO HOO!" Acapox the managers scream fill the level as Caige feels the same displacement and swirling, she was then on floor ten on the same corridor as the mangers office, room 666. "Caige Gal its time i showed you what a good time is really like, yes siree bob time for play Caige!" The door opends and the manger walks out, from behind one of the fat triplets grabs Caige. His sweaty, fatty hold can not be broken as he slowly forces her twords the mangers office. Patrick could hear the door opening, he aslo could see a triplet opening it with one large hand with a group of thoes animal dog like demons. He tried to move but the paralysis was still there aswell as his wounds, he was on his own it seemed... |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 5 2004, 11:04 AM |
| Shotoken let himself think for only a moment. Patrick would be useful in getting out of here, but if he let caige be tortured like that...No, he wouldn't fail. Not again... "I want to save caige. Take me to her, let her go, whatever it is you're going to do, but I want caige to be safe." He had long ago abandoned the logic that one who kills is inherently evil. One evil act does not always change a person forever. You could see that same innocence as always forming in his eyes. he no longer had a desire to defeat and kill acapox, daimus, and everybody else working here. He merely wanted caige to be safe. |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jul 5 2004, 03:31 PM |
| "Very well child, twice you have decided not to save your self but i will do nothing, it will be much more fun to see your guilt grow, after all you have basicaly killed Patrick, and delayed Caige and your own suffering and deaths. Go Child, next time we meet i may decide to kill you so keep your guard up my child." The room then is gone, not like Acapox swiling and displacment, its just gone and Shotoken sees Acapox is waiting in his doorway for Caige, the fat triplet dragging her to the door, only a few more feet. Shotoken is hidden behind some table, if he runs falt out he wont make it to the door before Caige is forced is and it is slammed and locked. "Sir mr Acapox has demanded to speak with you, and you alone... come with me or else i will be forced to set my pets on you..." Patrick coughed, blood came out, seems like he was getting worse before he got better. He moved slwoly, his body stiff and his pain growing as whatever he had been given was wareing off. He staggerd on purpose and grabbed the knife Skotoken had left there earlier. He made a stab at the triplet and hit, but the knife did not perice, it mearly was sucked into the fat doing no damage. Patrick pulled it back and it flew from his hand. "Sir why did you do that... sic him." The dog things leap but stop mid air, a hand grabs them by the throat. "I want him to go alive..." It is Daimius, he rips the monsters head off with his single hand using no effort. The triplet falls down to hsi knees begging forgiveness. Patrick feels the fear fill his every cell as he falls back, his wounds open at the saem time and blood flows from them again, his mind flashes with memories of pain and of fear and of hate. "Come Patrick we will talk of many things, and then i will show you whats behind my eyes and you shall beg for death, which will never come." Daimius uses magic and forces Patrick to his feet, sealing his wounds and putting his hand over the back of his head. Patrick marched between Daimius and two demons at the front and the triplet with three dog demons at the back, anyone who took this lot on would be killed... |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 5 2004, 03:50 PM |
| Shotoken watched slowly, wishing he still had his knife. he knew what would happen if caige was hurt: He would either become an emotionless killer or go into a blind rage. Either way, acapox would die at his hands. he wasn't a fan of killing, but he would sure as hell rip that bastard to shreds if he even tried doing anything to caige. he could feel the adrenaline flowing through his veins: If he moved at just the right moment, he could easily make it in time......He kept on watching, his eyes narrowing ever so slightly after a moment, as he quickly launched out of his hiding place. He was moving almost faster than any human should. This, this was real power. The strength to defend those you care for can only make you stronger. he slammed right into the manager from behind, hitting him perfectly and knocking him to the ground, along with knocking his gun away and probably breaking something. "If you even consider harming caige, I will kill you. Consider this a warning: I will give up my own humanity for her safety, and that DOES mean saying yes to daimus's little offer." he stood up, grabbing the manager's gun, and holding it in such a way that he could have it out and shoot acapox in the head long before he could use a magic trick. "Now if I were you, I would go back into your office. I can shoot you way before you can use one of your magic tricks. And call off the fat idiot holding caige." That innocence was lonog gone. Shotoken really would kill for caige's safety. Was it evil? Possibly. Would he allow daimus to become his master if it meant caige's safety? Without a second thought. OOC: Shotoken is pissed! Acapox better get far, FAR away from shotoken right now if he doesn't want to die. |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jul 5 2004, 04:32 PM |
| "You dare say the lords name with your filthy mortal mouth!?" Acapox laughs but somehow seems to think Shotoken had blashemed... something very hard to do. "Please Shotoken dont shoot its me Caige!" The mangers voices mocks Caiges own voice. "I want to go with him, hes a real man unlike you... how did you think i could ever love someone like you? I hate you, i only stayed with you so i could go to him... i know you want to kill me Shotoken!" It was a lie but enough to distact for a second, his hand flips over and the gun is in it, Shotokens hands hold a bright yellow Banana. Acapox gets off the floor, the bones he had broken snap right back into place. "Boy you really pissed me off there... but sure why not, your lucky lord Daimius wants me to let the bitch go, shame i really want to play... what do you think boy? What would she have been like the first time? The first time she screams, the first time she bleed, the first time she faints, the first time she begs it to stop... and the first time she begged me for more? Let her go son, master wants these two to stay around a bit longer and all aint lost, we got Patrick after all and thoese cant save him... not even ten people could... a thousond could not with lord Daimius gaurding him personaly. Boy you better take the long route back, or else you will run into my lord and boy you dont want to run into him right now." The triplet lets go of Caige and walks into the mangers office but Acapox stayed for a while, taking out a cigarette from his pocket and lighting it with his figers. Smokeing now he puts his gun away and smiles. "Well my boy looks like you win the gal for now, but honey you ever want to come vist me i will be real gental... well for me any how..." This he seemed to find hallarious as he walked into his office laughing his head off. The door closes and locks. "Nearly there now Patrick, nearly at the end... tell me what is it like to be mortal and comming to the end?" Daimius lead them up the stairs, only one more floor untill they reached the mangers office. "I dont know, and wotn know for billions of years... oh i have its memories, but memories are not the same as experince... never is.. hmm looks like Shotoken saved the girl, hear that Patrick? Caige is alive and well but your going to suffer... sorry for the cliche... a fate worse then any death. Come on on a little more to go." Patrick kept walking, well limping... hes vision darking a little and still with his hands above hsi head and no control over his own body... just the fear pusling through him. |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 5 2004, 05:03 PM |
| Shotoken watched. he couldn't believe he had fell for such a simple trick, but maybe that was the weakness that came with the strength of emotions. Such a simple trick leaves you weak long enough for someone like acapox to turn the tables. "Did he hurt you at all, caige?" he gripped the banana. Part of him wanted to eat it, another part of him wanted to give it to caige, and another part wanted to shove it right up acapox's ass for such a lame gag. There were plenty of better things to replace a gun with than a banana. |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jul 5 2004, 10:43 PM |
| She shook her head, leaning against the wall. Caige was shaking and and crying as she started speaking "You should've stayed with Patrick, I'dve been fine! I could have put myself down before Acapox laid a hand on me, but Patricks in no condition to do anything. You should have gotten out while you had a chance!" The tears came on fast now, she just felt violated hearing her voice come from that scumball in the office. All of this made her feel like she could still end it, one quick convulsion and it was all over, but then that would have made Shotokens actions ones of vain, and she couldn't now...... |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 5 2004, 10:55 PM |
| "I'm not getting out of here without you, no matter what." Shotoken stayed calm, as always. Right now he was worried about caige, but the best he could do was protect her and wait until she calmed down. |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jul 5 2004, 11:32 PM |
| "Then you've doomed us both...."Caige ran her wrist over her eyes. Calming down right now was next to impossible, she was scared, paniced, embarrased and pissed. Somehow she managed to start breathing normally again, but everything else lingered in her mind, showing in her eyes. |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 6 2004, 12:15 AM |
| Shotoken stayed calm looking, but right now everything that he believed in was tearing away at him. he had done this to save her, not make her miserable like this! "We're going to get out of here, no matter what. Remember that. Nothing is going to stop me from getting us out of here. Nothing." |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jul 6 2004, 04:23 AM |
| "Everything is going as i expected, the game is to easy at time Patrick." Daimius said as he sensed what was going on. "The peices are mear humans, so easy to control... Acapox was strugling but he is a lower demon, master of manipulation to some but i am the real master Patrick." They were almost at the door, it seemed like Daimius had done his trick, they were only a ghostly image in one version of the world... the one with Caige and Shotoken and in the other one Patrick was stuck with Daimius and his guards. "We are here Patrick, the room you will cease in... end of the line my valintine, end of the road, the last mile, the final step, the last shuffle off this mortal coil... have you ever noticed how many terms you humans have for death? Amazing is it not." He opend the door and they all went inside, the door closed and locked. "Boy i am so happy to see you i am just fit to explode... i wish that Gal was here, then we could have some real fun... but dont worry, solo you will still experince the pleasures of agony... oh yes sirre bob!" |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jul 6 2004, 07:15 PM |
| after a few moments she seemed to make up her mind about something. Sure, they could get out of here alive, but it would eat at her for the rest of her days that they had done nothing to help Patrick, to even attempt to save him, or to let him go through it alone... That and the memories of this horrible place were just too much. "Shotoken....what year did you say you were from?.." |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 6 2004, 07:18 PM |
| "2004. Why?" Shotoken was ever so slightly confused at the question. Of course, right now he was more interested in figuring out why caige wanted to know. |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jul 6 2004, 07:24 PM |
| "I was...lets see...I was fifteen then....."She seems to be working something out in her head, muttering it over to hereself"It would send you back to your time, and...me back to mine......so even still it wouldn't work.....unless...." |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 6 2004, 07:28 PM |
| Shotoken smiled ever so slightly, walking over so that he was next to caige. "I'll be going back with you. it's not like I have any reason to stay in the same time that I came in here from." |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jul 6 2004, 07:42 PM |
| "No no, its not that...."her voice held a tone of uncertainty" I don't want to leave here without trying to help Patrick, he's been too nice to me to just up and leave him behind without trying to do something......"she looked down to the ground |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 6 2004, 07:50 PM |
| Shotoken sighed, his smile turning into more of a smirk. "We're gonna get his ass outta here too, don't worry. The only way one of us is stayin' is because they WANT to stay. For now, don't worry about it. I already got the info on how to get outta this dump." |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jul 6 2004, 07:56 PM |
| Caige sighed, and shook her head ever so slightly" Really?...." |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 6 2004, 08:21 PM |
| "Really. Now, should we save patrick first, or do you want to prepare for our escape, then get him and get out all at once?" |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jul 6 2004, 08:38 PM |
| "Lets see if we can get him, then get out" Caiges eyes and tone suggest she's ready to do anything to get out of this place." Anymore time here and I might just kill myself for self preservation...." |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 6 2004, 08:45 PM |
| You could just barely hear shotoken laugh ever so slightly, and you could tell it was even rarer than smiling. "I know what you mean. So, how should we save his ass? he's in the manager's room right now, most likely. Do we bust the door down or slip in via a window?" |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jul 6 2004, 08:49 PM |
| "We could surround them, one through the window, one at the door."This might work out, then again they could just be walking in to slaughter, but it was better then nothing |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 6 2004, 09:00 PM |
| "Works for me. You take the window, I'll bust down the door." |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jul 6 2004, 09:04 PM |
| "alright, but I give you this warning. My legs may be strong, but I grip and throw like a girl. If I don't make it through the window, you know what happened." With that she turns and heads down the hall to where theres a window at the top of the stairs, pushes it open and climbs out onto the ledge |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 6 2004, 09:31 PM |
| Shotoken just watched. his plan was to bust it down, slam into the manager, and either shoot him three times in the head or force him to let them all out. "Right." He backed up, studying the door, and then slamming through it, knocking it down, and shocking the manager enough the shotoken was able to knock him to the ground, grab his gun, and aim it right at the manager's head. He was running purely on adrenaline, and had forced emotions out of his mind. The downside of humanity would be too much of a weakness right now. "Let us leave this retched place if you don't want a bullet in your head. And trust me, your cheap tricks won't work on me again." OOC: Shotoken is uber-pissed, running on pure adrenaline, and trust me, he is more than a challenge for acapox in his current state. he better open the door and let everybody go! |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jul 6 2004, 09:45 PM |
| Caige had inched her way up to the window by now and remained compleatly motionless, head facing the window as she listened to what was going on inside. A look down would show nothing but the endless black of the ground, which for all she knew could be nothing but space, and she didn't feel like an eternal fall, so she kept her eyes locked on the window to her side, ready to kick through the glass at any moment |

| "They are here to save you Patrick... they did take their time didnt they... not that it would have mattered, not to me." Daimius was siting in the managers seat, Acapox was leaning on a wall and Patrick was in another chair slumped over. "Acapox wait here, when they brake in see if you can make them attack you, if they are that stupid finish them. I think Patrick will not be telling them anything, not in this life time. Here is his soul, make sure they do not get it off you no matter what fail and you will join the rest of your race Acapox." Daimius took out a small perfectly round ball and handed it to him, inside was a light shining brightly. "As long as you have that Patrick will be on our side, he will kill them before he helps them... now this is the last time i will intefere to help you, its your game not mine." Patrick stirred a little but was still out cold, in more ways then one... he was cold outside and in. After Shotoken barged in Daimius leaned back and smiled, he seemed to enjoy seeing Acapox squirm. "Child there is no need for this... take him, i have no futher use of him.. and put the weapon down, its not even loaded." Daimius was telling the truth, after the last time Acapox had emptied his gun out. "Hes only putting on an act, i hate acts like that... my onw are done for reasons... his are for his own amusment. Acapox may not be killed by anything of this world or your own world, and no mortal could ever kill me child. Take him, oh and your girl may come in." He waved his hand andthe window opend letting Caige in. "Now hurry up and leave before i lose my control." |

| Shotoken aimed the gun at daimus' leg and pulled the trigger. After finding that it in fact had no ammo, he just tossed it aside. "We're only interested in leaving if we can return to our own reality." |

| When the window opened it shocked Caige and as she moved her footing was lost, leaving her clinging to the ledge for several moments, weighing her options of the moment. She could call for help, she could try to pull herself up, or she could just let go.While making this decision however, the sound of somthing flapping towards her made up her mind for her. She pulled herself up and scrambled through the window, surveying the scene before her |

| "You wont leave here becuase you are not fated to leave here... i protect fate and its course... you will not leave here, none of you shall." Daimius kept smileing as Caige came in. "About time, i thought my pets might have to convince you some more my child, now your both here you could carry this worthless mortal away... he is no use to me... and not phased enough for Acapox to kill. Shotoken my child if you dont not leave here now i will kill Caige, Caige if you do not leave now i will kill Shotoken... its your decison and you have untill the count of.... ten is traditional...1...2...." |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 8 2004, 01:48 PM |
| Shotoken watched, staying perfectly calm looking, and having absolutely no fear towards daimus. No matter how strong he was, he relied on magic. Nobody could gain shotoken's respect or fear if they relied on something like that. "I've already been told by your liittle lacky acapox why you supposedly need us to screw with fate. Now, explain why you need all of us. Certainly one with as much power as yourself would only require a few of the people stuck here to completely fuck fate in the ass." |

| "3... Shotken you dont think i live uncheck do you? I am forever dogged by my equal Sharaka gaurdian of the light, and on a rare ocasion Talen Alderan the guardian of balance. 2... Fate its more poerful then you think and very delicate, it must be controled correctly or i might cause it to change for my worse... i am fated to defeat Sharaka in a million years, then use his power and mine comabined to destory existance, i toy with fate in the wrong way and that would end... its an art my child and needs percises movments, your fates destroyed would not damge my fate but speed it up... killing another might lead to my own end....oh and my child i do not need magic, i hardly ever use it in fact, i have skin harder then any metals, the strength to move worlds, speed faster then light and intelgence of an IQ in the trillions... a true fighter like your self my son, if you saty we can fight... no weapons, no magic but you would not last a single second. 1... last chance, leave or i will brake Caige's pretty little neck, take the worthless mortal Patrick and leave." |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jul 8 2004, 09:05 PM |
| Like I'd give you the pleasure Caige thought, she'd do it herself before she'd let him lay a hand on her. But then at the mention of Talen Alderan...she'd read that name in one of her mothers books before....which one she wasn't quite sure, but one of the coven manuals had mentioned him somewhere.... |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 8 2004, 09:21 PM |
| Shotoken glaced over at caige. he couldn't read minds, but he could tell that she was thinking something along the lines that she'd kill herself before letting daimus kill her. Shotoken, on the other hand, would rather die fighting daimus one on one than kill himself. 'dammit, this could get ugly....caige is the type of person who would die by her own hand before letting daimus kill her...I can handle anything daimus throws at me, but the cost would be too great... and it's obvious I won't be able to bluff or trick my way outta this whole mess...but I'm not giving up.' OOC: That was thought, just so you know. |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jul 9 2004, 03:14 AM |
| "You annoy my master be gone!" Acapox said and then the world swirled and displacment occoured again. You where back in Caiges room, Patrick still out cold sitting on the chair, Caige standing by the window and Shotoken standing by the door. Patrick was starting to wake up, very slowly but surely, moving and beggining to mumble some sort of giberish. |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 9 2004, 03:16 AM |
| Shotoken stayed calm, smirking a bit. 'yeah, you're just scared of me, acapox. I've gotten ya twice in a row and now you're scared, aren't ya?' "Well, looks like he didn't want to deal with us right now. Should we work on getting out or just relax for now?" |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jul 9 2004, 04:20 PM |
| "Dumah... el.. tomac anae foro sept nove kane...jumu estemaka kister lomo nar... Alderan... oto noko Sharaka... eme eme eme..." Patricks mumbling is now audiable, it sounds like rubbish apart froma few familer words. His eyes then start to open, they seem dead, no light with in them. His mumbling stops and he looks round the room confused, unable to figure out who he is and what he is doing there, but that will soon change. |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jul 9 2004, 07:37 PM |
| Caige had been focusing on Patricks condition, relizing even before they ended up back at her room that he had nothing left within him. She shot a quick look to Shotoken and sighed a bit" I say we rest up a bit, then just get the hell out if we can......" |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jul 10 2004, 06:04 AM |
| Patrick sniffed the air then screwed up his face, like he had smelled something truly revolting. "Mortals, your stink fills the air... the smell of ageing and deing, Why would Lord Daimius put me here... is this punishment for my failuer... a human body!" Patrick stood up, and as he did the wounds on his body sealed up and his ruufed up look went back to a clean regular look. "I may have lost my fight with Sharaka but only becuase that Talen Alderan interfeard... does that deserve this fate... haveing my soul removed and put into a human body, i cant escape the stink! But maybe if i kill you, bring your heads to the master he will give me back my body... yes that seems right to me... now hold still and make this easy for me, be honoured that Dumhaket is the one to kill you... it will be quick where as the master would take all day long." Patrick leapt at Shotoken drawing out of thin air a sword, long as hi arm and with a black waveing blade. |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 10 2004, 04:13 PM |
| Shotoken reacted instinctively, his eyes once again losing that innocence. he ducked to the side and kicked patrick VERY hard in the gut, knocking him to the ground, and knocking the blade away. "Don't try that again." |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jul 10 2004, 07:21 PM |
| Watching from her place at the window she narrowed her eyes at the two "Seems you messed up big time to end up in a body like that then. I'm willing to bet you screwed up somethin bad to make him do this....." She'd made her switch now from her normal state to a cynic, a rash mind and a total bitch. He could kill her sure, but its not like anything was going to change for any of them that way..... |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jul 11 2004, 05:21 AM |
| "How low have i become where a mortal may cause me pain..." The things in Patricks body moaned as he rolled over holding onto his gut. "I lost one fight, a single battle aginst thoese two false Gods, who then made it to the lord and nearly killed him...if my lord is not enough to stop them then what chance had i? Talen Alderan was the one who tipped the scale, i might have made it if Sharaka was alone, but that damned balance gaurdian showed his face and smote me where i stood... then the two were more then my master could handle. But i will not fail again, your friends soul was removed becuase he knew to much but i was placed in this body to kill you know doubt. I will not be put back in that sphear again, no doubt Acapox holds it even now... i wander ho a mortal soul will take eons trapped there... no matter i must not wate time talking, it is time for killing!" He jumped back up and the sword flew black into his hand, the blade shone for a moment then he swung it at Caiges head, but the blow defelected up as if someone had hit it up, his eyes went wide. "How... immposible no mortal has that magic only... could it be that he is here aswell...but..." Then there is a loud smacking sound and then whatever was using Patricks form went flying up into the air and crashed back down on the floor unconcious blood dripping down his chin. His sword lies by his side burning hot, only he could hold it or use it... but right now hes going to be asleep for some time. |

| Shotoken watched the whole event happen. It was interesting enough, but it definately showed this wasn't gonna be your standard kill the evil demon in your friend's body situation. "That was interesting. Want to throw him out for now?" |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jul 11 2004, 07:30 PM |
| "Yes lets, and quick too.He's bleeding all over my carpet." Caige moved over to his left side and looked over to Shotoken" Shall we?" |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 11 2004, 08:56 PM |
| Shotoken smirked a bit, walking over to the other side. "Out the door or out the window?" |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jul 11 2004, 10:38 PM |
| "ohh, tough call......if we throw him out the window, he won't leave blood on the floor in the hall, which has to be a bitch to get out of that carpeting"Caige sighed" However, if we toss him into the hall, he'll be where we can keep an eye on him...I say we leave him in the hall. That way if he wakes up and runs off we can trail him." |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 11 2004, 11:50 PM |
| Shotoken smirked a bit. he was beginning to enjoy caige like this. "Sounds good to me. The door's already open, so let's just launch the idiot." He began to pick up patrick's limp body, and with caige's help, tossed him easily into the hallway and shut the door. "Well, that's over. Now we just wait till he wakes up. he'll either run off or try and attack us again, and he'll have to get through that door to get at us, so he doesn't exactly have the option of stealth." |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jul 12 2004, 12:13 AM |
| "Quite a good point. So, what do we do until then, just try to get our thoughts together?"Caige looked around the room" I'll be glad to leave this place......" |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 12 2004, 12:46 AM |
| Shotoken sighed, noting the fact that he had a small amount of blood on him, most likely from the throwing of patrick's body. "so will I. We could always start trying to get out of here now." |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jul 12 2004, 12:58 AM |
| "That sounds good, lets just get out. No reasons to stay her any longer."Caige opens the door and slips out into the hallway and looks back at Shotoken |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 12 2004, 01:04 AM |
| Shotoken followed caige out the door, shoving his hands in his pockets. "The guy said whoever got out of here escaped by leaving the hotel and he just kept walking and fighting. He got back after a while with something in his pocket, and duked it out with the manager. Then, he was gone. My guess is whatever he found gave him the ability to defeat the manager. Well, we better get going." He started walking down the stairs somewhat nearby, eventually making it to the front door and shoving it open. "This is gonna get interestin'." And with that, he walked outside, into the sickening, twisted void outside the hotel... |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jul 12 2004, 01:12 AM |
| Caige sighed and followed him outside, looking around them into the darkness "It just goes on and on...." We don't stand a chance out here kid, theres no way in hell we'll survive this.... Her mind was racing, but she kept her thoughts to herself "We have to keep an ear open, you can hear the this coming towards you if you listen close enough......" |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 12 2004, 01:42 AM |
| Shotoken looked around a bit, waiting for anything to try and get him. 'This is one hell of a mess. And I don't even have my knife. But I've still got some advantages...' "Right." He was ready for anything that came. He knew some tricks that would be VERY useful in this situation. |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jul 12 2004, 08:46 AM |
| "Son of a...." From the top floor wondow the glass shatters and a body flys right out from it, there is a loud scream as the body falls from the mangers office and then lands with a massive thud on the ground bellow. It is the manager himself, his right arm has been torn off, his left eye is gone, his legs are both broken and twsited, blood covers every inch of him along with a mulitude of wounds. "Damn it..." He can hardly move and with his one eye see the two guests. "Seems like the master eally wanted ago at you boy, should have seen that... " He pauses and coughs up more blaack blood, his is amnagled mess right now and shturgles to speak. "So i got a whuppin for what i did, yes siree.. i tried using my... my magic but it just did nothing, he didnt even bother to use his own magic... he just used his bare hands and beat the livng crap right out of me. I tell you i never knew Daimius was so strong... but i guess thats why he is the head hauncho right? Well dont you two worry about me now i will be fine, yes sirre bob fine and dandy when these heal... but damn if it dont hurt... well better get a going!" He starts to fade, but unlike usual this is a stuttering effect, like it wont quite make it.. he does vanish but lots of his things are left behind by this, his hat, one boot, some pocket change with american presidents who never were on them... a set of keys and a small glowing orb are all left behind. "Stupid mortals got me by suprise, summoning him of all people... i got kill them quick before he shows himself again... i cant handle him in this body." Patrick picked up his sword and swung it a few times, it still ahd its old powers at least and would cut down those mortal brats easy enough. He sniffed the air, they were out side now... well he better go after them then, he started running down the stairs this time ready to kill them both. |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 12 2004, 05:36 PM |
| Shotoken just watched, snagging the pocket change, the manager's keys, and the orb. "There. In a worst case scenario we can always do a little a trade with the idiot." |
| Posted by: darkfeatherangel Jul 12 2004, 06:31 PM |
| " Well then, shall we go back inside before those..things decide we look tasty."Caige turned but stopped, there was something coming towards them already, the shadow had just been cast against the window on the stairs that lead to the first floor in the building "Ah...I think we may have a problem....." |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jul 13 2004, 03:28 AM |
| From the darkness comes a loud roar, very diffrent from the monsters that live in the hotel. A small lighr comes from the darkness, two glowing green eyes and from that you can tell the owner of them must be at least as big as a mini-van. They are getting closer very slowly, almost not moving at all as if afraid of thelight from the hotel. "Mortals this time you shall not win, i will take your heads to the master and eat your hearts while they still quiver with life." Patrick walekd through the doors his sword raised up, and then saw the mangers left overs. Then looked at Shotoken and his eyes shined for a moment, then Shotoken was frozen solid by some magic. "Magic is real strength stupid mortal, now stay there while i take the small ones head, dont worry your head will be nxt... whats this?" He takes from the frozzen Shotoken the glowing orb. "A soul, well you wont mind if i keep this." The orb seems to grow a chain and become like a neckless which he did ware round his neck. Now he had only one thing to do, and that was kill Caige. He ran at her his sword at his side ready to stab through her gut. |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 13 2004, 05:05 AM |
| Shotoken watched, straining against the magic which held him. "You will NOT harm caige while I live......" His eyes seemed to flash red and white, as he forced himself forward, slamming into patrick, knocking him to the side, shotoken's eyes still looking more like a demon's than those of a mortal. "Remember this: I shall destroy the body you inhabit to stop you from harming those I care for without a second thought. This is your last warning." He took the orb back from the thing inhabiting patrick's body, his eyes still looking demonic in a way. "Now either go or help us. You might be able to return to the body you should be in if you help us, but it's your choice." OOC: A little reference to my main shotoken character(NOTE: main shotoken character is a demon who is not related to this shotoken in any way. The main shotoken's eyes turn red and white whenever he is protecting a person he cares for.). If it's a little too godmodey, I'll change it. |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jul 13 2004, 12:48 PM |
| "The soul... dont brake it... please... i will stop my attacks, i will help you with all my power but dont brake that orb. If you do i will be forced out of this body and have no vessal of my own... your friend maybe returned to you but i can keep you alive out here in the void... it may not be home but you will live... i kill the monsters and get you food... you will live very long time, just dont brake that orb." His eyes are sincere, he has little to do with humans and sees no fault in spilling his secrets to them, oblivion was just to much for him after so much time in that orb... and why would humans refuse his work? He did not mention that their friend knew an escape route from the hotel, or that he could use the power of the demons sword or that he might know who had summoned...him... or who he was hiding as... (ooc: Its ok as long as you do not over use it or make it to powerful.) |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 13 2004, 07:25 PM |
| Shotoken smirked ever so slightly, putting the orb around his neck. "Good. Now help us get back to where we belong." OOC: Don't worry, I won't. |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jul 14 2004, 03:35 AM |
| "I Cant do that i have not got the power in this body, even a low class demon would be more then i could handle... and i no longer have my dimension traveling powers... but i can keep you alive out here... fed... protected from the monsters out here, i have that power.... live out here in the void. True your friend Patrick knew a possible way back to your world but thats a gamble, live here and you will live a long time i promise." His eyes never left the orb, its glowing soul still moving round in it, he was so weak now it made him feel sick and there was nothing he could do but try and bargin with this human. |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 14 2004, 03:56 AM |
| Shotoken stayed calm looking, his eyes still having that demonic appearance that had the potential to put fear into even daimus. "Then we're doing a little bargaining. I happen to have some things of the manager's. I doubt he cares about the pocket change, but his keys and this orb are obviously important to him, and you. We'll get patrick back, you'll be back in the body you belong, and we'll all be able to forget that this incident ever occured. So, you interested or do you want to spend the rest of your life keeping a pair of lowly humans alive in this void? Take your pick." Shotoken watched patrick carefully. He knew his own limits, and they'd be enough to keep patrick on the ground if need be. OOC: How about a final duel between shotoken in his current state, and daimus to decide if they get to leave or not? |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jul 14 2004, 08:50 AM |
| "The key opens the lower levels, nothing there but death... the orb only matters to me, and only Lord Daimius could ever restore my body, he would never bargin with lowly mortals... only Sharaka has ever been able to force him into a deal and you are no Sharaka... mortal do you think we could escape here... not by power i tell you and not by bargining with Daimius. Patrick does know a way out but that is hidden even from me, something to do with.... hurting the manager... or letting the other... something. Look our time grows short, one of you fools summoned him here and he is as likly to kill you as he is to try to kill Daimius. Unless you come with me into the void you will die... now hand back the soul, i can destory it and save my self from limbo... you have y word i will protect you and thoes of my race can never brake a promise and live." The demon was sure if they did not hurry into the void then He would come again, then who knows what would happen... which of the fools had summoned him? And who was he pretending to be, not this boy... or the girl or he would smell it... but he was there, in this realm and was watching them at this very moment. "Hurry and hand me the orb!" (ooc: Daimius is far more powerful then he is letting on, he is basicaly a dark god and no matter how powerful you become you could not match his final strength, not in his own world or any other... only one of the other four physical gods could match him for power. You fight him and you will not last five seconds unless he choses to toy with you.) |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 14 2004, 09:01 AM |
| Shotoken kept the orb. he didn't trust this guy one bit. "Staying here isn't an option, and neither is giving you this orb. I can handle the manager if he doesn't use magic." OOC: How about a fight between shotoken and the manager then? Shotoken is a pretty even match if the manager doesn't use magic, and could probably get it to a draw even with magic. |
| Posted by: Kezzer Jul 14 2004, 10:12 AM |
| "You can not beat Acapox, you need a weapon to kill him and nothing of his world or your world can ever kill him... your world is to far away from him and his world he has compelte control over... and he would never not use his magic." The demon was slowling moving forword trying to keep close to the orb, if the human tried to destory it he would do his best to stop it. "You might be able to pursuade Him to do it for you though... He could destory Acapox with but a thought, free you and force back Daimius but convincing Him will be very difficult, He is hard to control for either sides views. But if you have to then...." He is stopped as his arms fling back holding him in palce like he was chained up and there is a blurred image like light bending round a human shape. The shapes hand grabs the orb and then smashes it on the ground, the glowing light jumps from the shatterd remains and into Patrick body, the invisble chains vanishes as Patricks body fly like struck by lightning and hits the ground as a monsterous scream is heard the demon been sent to oblvion. The ghostly image holds still for a moment infront of Shotoken, flowting just beyond his ablity to see it. "You may be worthy... yes you might just be worthy..." The voice is not human, yet is human, it coems from the figure and from all round and in your minds. Then the nearly invisible figure is gone almost as quickly as it arrived leaving no trace of it self. There is no time for questions however as the monster that has been moving closer pounces now. It is a red monster the size of a mini van with claws as big as your fore arm and giant metal teeth. Its walks on six legs each as thick as a tree stump, its body ripped with muscels and venom dripping from its mouth. The things jumps over you and blocks your path back to the hotel. Patrick lies near the door not moving or even breathing it seems, but the creaure igonors him and keeps its glowing eyes looced on you two. (ooc; it might work later but not yet, you might be as strong but as you are now part of his wolrd you can never kill him... later there maybe away however.) |

| watching the creature, she looks it up and down, eyes narrowed" We're suppoused to be afraid right?"Though she used an unimpressed tone, she was a bit surprised. This was one of the creatures described in the books back home. Was this were they came from when conjured? |
| Posted by: yalborap Jul 14 2004, 09:59 PM |
| Shotoken just watched it, his eyes never losing that demonic appearance as he moved so he was slightly covering caige. "Interesting creature. Hope you're ready to die." OOC: Hey, would it be overboard to let shotoken have claws in his current state? After all, he lost his knife and he needs a weapon. |
