new-ness!

Okay, first the CHUDs finish, then we fight them. Got it.

Say, I wonder how EarthStone is doing?

:: bubbling moans are heard from somewhere within the Initiatron 2000 ::

:: Sunspace looks at a screen ::

Oh my.

He (or she–it’s a little uncertain now) is almost through.

:: Peers at setting of exit control ::

Oh! Oops.

:: blushes ::

Maybe Hal should get ready…

Dwellers.” It was a cheesy-arsed horror flick from the 80’s, but a bit of fun at that. Mentioned several times on the Simpsons (and elsewhere).

Where is Stone? Is he going to be alright? Kythereia…how does the gown fit?

Holy Carp (no, not a spelling error)…Not guessing that has made me feel incredibly stupid…I’ve seen the movie and I’m an Simpsons fan

Well, any moment he should be exiting the Initiatron… right into Hal’s lap. :smiley:

Ooooh! Want some popcorn Sunspace? :smiley:

Yes, this should be fun. I wonder how many limbs he will have? :slight_smile:

Here you go

:: Hands Sunspace popcorn::

Limbs…well I’d guess 4…

5 Depending on the gender :stuck_out_tongue:

(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

K, my turn to get confused now. (Hey, I just came out of the Initiation Conveyor Belt and fell on top of someone!)

That should have read

(Everyone 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 Hal in the Control Room

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?

Yeah, he’s only slightly confused. This was a let down. Hal, I pronounce your experiment a failure. Hal? Uh-oh…

:: walks into controll room ::

Uh, guys, the newby is just standing here, pressing buttons at rndom. I just hope he doens’t, NO! STONE, DON’T PRESS THAT ONE!

Well, at least we know the “Self-destruct” button is bullshit.

Right? :frowning:

Standing still as a statue, finger still extended, touching a big Red button already ‘depressed’ into the control board

Huh? I figured that Red means stop and therefore it might shut down that… whatever it is that started humming and clanking in the corner.

*raised hand and points into corner. Thereby releasing the big Red button which spring pops out with a distinct ~click~ *

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 ::

Water? Water? How am I supposed to fight water? Damnit! Now we’re all gonna die.

:: Water filling up ::

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr… With my last breath, I curse you… Zoidberg!

Aw, dammit! I can barely swim!

(Side note - I created this thread [THREAD=6124183]Avatar Meet and Greet[/THREAD] so that we can learn about each others Avatars

Stand back, I’ll handle this.

:: opens a wormhole into which all the water flows ::

There. That wasn’t so hard. Hmm, I wonder where exactly I sent all that water. Ah well, it’s probably not important.

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.

Oh, never mind then. Crisis over. … Ahh, Regallag whats that shadowy thing behind you, and where’d the machine that used to be in the corner get to?
