(Hal is waiting at the Upper Chanber for EarthStone when…)
A figure drops through a trap door in the ceiling and falls right on top of SR47 in the Control Room
Oooff! Ouch! Watch that last step, it’s a doozy!
Rising to my feet, having lost all clothing during the ‘initiation’, it’s very clear that there is no uncertainty now, EarthStone is male and shaped like what you’d only describe as a ‘mountain man’, well over 6’ tall, heavily muscled, but NOT in a lean chisled way, thick bodied, hairy, full beard and craggy face.
Well that was an interesting experience… to say the least. Was that the entire initiation or is there more to come? Only one ride per customer?
There is the sound of grinding metal and mechanical crashes coming from the conveyor belt system. Apparently something, or many things, got broken on the last use.
Uh, glancing down I don’t suppose you have a spare robe… Oh look a sheet!
Pulling sheet used as a dust cover off something mechanical sitting in the corner and tying it around waist like a makeshift skirt
Where am I by the way? I haven’t been in this room yet. Ooohh! Look at all the buttons and switches. What do they do?
Pushing a bunch at random, pulling some switches, noises come from the now uncovered object sitting in corner
See? What’d I tell ya? We gotta go back to old-school initiations! Felching, goats, car batteries, ball gags…
This guy isn’t even catatonic! Where’s the joy in that?
Gaa! Not the red button! That’s the Initation Room Flood Control! (What? You never know when something like that could come in handy…)
Damnit…I knew I should’ve spend the extra 47 cents on getting an override/cancel button installed! Well folks, I reccommend deep breaths for as long as possible. The IRFC has an auto-release after 30 minutes. Oh, Kythereia? I wouldn’t worry about your white dress anymore. Errr, and someone might wanna hit mooncat with a tranq gun, elsewise you may be trying to get her claws out of your skull in a minute.
:: the iron doors of the Initiation Room slam shut as water starts whooshing into the room ::
Quit the theatrics Regallag! You’re safe in the Control Room with SR47 and me. It’s the others we have to worry about that are still in the Initation Room.
I see on the monitors that the doors are sealed shut but what about the Conveyor Belt? They might be able to escape through the Initiation Conveyor Belt. They’ll miss out on most of the ‘experiences’ I went through because, well, some of the machinery broke when I was using it. But I think the Robotic Tentacles are still active and a couple of the other items might still work. That should give them something to look forward to.
