Rosewater

[Flipz]

-==IC: Frenya==-
"I hope so.  Anyway, could you take it to her?  We need to set up shop."

OOC: Aside from occasional events, this is now Tina and Frenya's permanent location.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

-==IC: Tomas==-

Tomas blinked, and looked at the girls quizzically.
"Set up shop? What do you mean?" Tomas asked, literally not knowing what they meant at that precise moment.

[The Truth]

*A very faint ticking comes from the box for Wendy*

~~Chem Lab~~
*hissing noise*

[Magical Girl Mimi]

-==IC: Tomas==-

Tomas paused, and held the box to his ear with a frown, and then slowly placed it on the ground, and then backed up however far he hoped would be far enough to not be in any blast radius.

OOC: Oh boy. =P

[The Truth]

OOC: I forgot where my four NPCs are. 

[Flipz]

OOC: In the lunchroom, with Nic.  BTW, any particular reason behind this?
Oh, and I have no clue what's going on in the chem. lab.

-==IC: Wendy==-
Wendy hears the hissing noise and immediately goes for the doors, dragging Edward with her.

-==IC: Hank and Rod==-
Meanwhile, Hank and Rod are on their way back to the cafeteria.  Rod is rubbing his head.
"I still don't get why you had to--"
"Because you wouldn't wake up, that's why.  What, did you spend all night prowling the school or something?  And let me remind you that YOU hit your head on the open drawer, not me."
"Well, let me remind you that it still hurts."
"OK, OK, I'm sorry, I'll stop making fun of you, I promise.  C'mon, let's go see if Wendy can patch you up."

-==IC: Frenya and Tina==-
Tina freezes, but Frenya reacts instantly, grabbing a pointer from the whiteboard and shoving the box out the open door.  She grabs Tina and Tomas and drags them behind the desk for protection.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

-==IC: Tomas==-

"Right, yeah, better idea." Tomas said, as he dove under the desk.

OOC: Gah, forgot I had started to talk with them instead of directly start to deliver the package. My bad.

[The Truth]

The box exploded. Apparently, it wasn't the laptop.

~~~

Poison gas filled the chem lab.

~~~

(Joshua): "Did anyone else just hear an explosion?"

[Magical Girl Mimi]

-==IC: Tomas==-

Tomas frowned, as he looked up from behind the desk.
"That's not good... Looks like people really are targeting people..." Tomas said, as he looked around.

[The Truth]

(V.R.):  Perhaps I should try something less showy next time...

[Flipz]

-==IC: Nic==-
"That was an explosion.  Come on!"  He gestured to the others at the table to follow him and ran from the cafeteria.

-==IC: Wendy==-
Wendy tried the door to the chemistry lab.  Locked!  Thinking quickly, she rummaged through the closet for respirators.  She found a small, regrettably outdated pair, with yellowed filters.  They probably wouldn't last for more than a few minutes, but it was better than nothing.  She put on her own mask, then put one over Edward's face as well.  He weakly adjusted the mask to secure it, but he was still too weak to do much else.  She was going to have to figure this out on her own.

-==IC: Hank and Rod==-
Hank noticed the sound first.  "Is that...hissing?"  Seeing the cloud seeping from under the door, he ran to open it, but found a strange lock on it.  "What on earth--?  Rod, go get help, I'll try to unlatch this."  Rod nodded, sending a quick email to Tomas before heading to the cafeteria.

OOC: I'm assuming everyone exchanged email addresses in the Chem. Lab after Edward's treatment but before they went to bed.

[The Truth]

OOC: Yeah, they exchanged email.

IC: Rod received an email.

This is your final chance. You, Hank, and Wendy had better be out of the school by midnight, or all of you will die.

-V.R.

OOC: EDIT: New journals for Joshua, Kitten and Kaitlin. Seems someone stole their old journals...V.R. also has a new journal entry.

[Flipz]

OOC: Can I ask you a favor?  I need that lock to be a puzzle.  Can you find one for me to solve?  Even something as simple as sudoku would do, I just feel like I'm cheating if I have Hank unlock the door without solving a puzzle.
OOC2: You know what?  I was going to wait until lunch to out my characters, but I think I'll do it now.

-==IC: Rod and Nic==-
"What the--?" Rod's eyes narrowed.  "So, you've figured it out.  Well, that complicates things, but either way you're going down!"  Rod closes the computer and runs into--

"Ned!"
"Uh, it's Nic--"
"We don't have time for that, and it doesn't matter anyway.  We've got trouble in the Chemistry Lab, see if you can help.  I need to find Tomas Grayson."
"Last I heard, he was headed for the computer lab with 'Tina' and 'Frenya'.  Listen we heard a bomb--"
"A bomb?  No, the chemistry lab's filled with poison gas, and there are people stuck inside--"
"No, I definitely heard--wait, what?  Is she--?"
"Yes, that why I need to find Grayson.  If you and Hank can't solve the lock, we'll have to force our way in."
Ned ran down the hallway.  "NANCY!!"

Rod saw the damage around the computer lab entrance and gasped.  He ran inside.  "Is everyone alright?"
Frenya poked her head out from behind the desk.  "We're fine!  But you look upset..."
"It's Na--Wendy," he said, noticing Tomas.  No need to confuse Tomas, he and Hank could explain things to him later.  "She's stuck in the chemistry lab with Edward and someone's gassing the room."
"Well, what are we waiting for?  Let's go!"

The group runs back to the Chemistry Lab.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

-==IC: Tomas==-

Tomas frowned, and then paused, and heard beeping from one of the computer terminals, and he then walked over to it, and opened it up, and saw an email from Rod, talking about how there were things going on in the Chem Lab.
"You gotta be kidding me." Tomas muttered, and sighed, and he sent off a reply.
"Yeah; be right there. Be VERY careful though... Someone nearly killed us with a bomb that was meant for Wendy." Tomas typed out, but then Rod appeared.
"Well, what're we waiting for? Let's save people." Tomas said, as he nodded, and ran after Rod, though he had noticed Rod's near slip-up, but paid no real attention to it, except in his mind.
So; it is true then, huh... Tomas thought, as they had nearly reached the Chem Lab, but Tomas noticed a metal pipe nearby, which could help if things got rough.

OOC: Well, Tomas has already been almost totally sure of their identities from the start. =P However; it will be a chance for Tomas to reveal who he is. =P

[Flipz]

OOC: Still waiting for a puzzle...hey, Blade, you could find one for me to solve; I just need to solve a puzzle, or I'll feel bad.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

OOC: Well, Tomas could kick the door in, but you'd probably think that cheating. =P

What kind of puzzle can it be? Can it be a simple type of puzzle that's made out of words? Sudoku kinda works there... I'll give that one a shot; though I've never made one myself before. =P I'll work on that while awaiting a response. =P

[Flipz]

OOC: ANY type of puzzle works; it's just a staple of the games.  Breaking down the door would be fair (it's not cheating), but I personally prefer a puzzle route.

BTW, I just had an idea from this RPG that could change all the RPGs here forever (through the addition of a certain type of side topic).

[Magical Girl Mimi]

OOC: Sudoku puzzle on the way. =) It's funny, making one is very similar to solving one. =P

Just give me another buffer post, and I'll put it up, it'll be in text format, of course. =P

[Flipz]

OOC: Of course.  BTW, are you curious about the Seeeeeeecret project?

[Magical Girl Mimi]

OOC: Yes, yes I am. =P

Also, running into a slight glitch with Project: Sudoku... =/ Give me a little longer; I'll try to fix, but...

Gah; fixed one part, and found another was broken. D=

/EDIT: That's it, time to make a puzzle from Brain Age's selection... I just couldn't fix mine. =(
